Chapter 413: Leaving

Chapter 413 -252: Leaving

“I agree as well.”

Ao Lin said as he slowly walked over. From his perspective, since Su Xing had managed to defeat that mysterious enemy, his strength had already far surpassed their entire group.

Moreover, Su Xing had done Dragon Gate a great service. Giving him this flower was no big deal.

Although the flower could save a life—and might even be processed into a Life-Protecting Elixir like the ones they possessed—none of that was nearly as important as Su Xing himself.

Li Longxuan had arrived the earliest, naturally earning all of Su Xing’s respect and goodwill. Though they hadn’t arrived as early as Li Longxuan, they too needed to extend an olive branch to Su Xing.

After all, no one who had reached their level was a fool. They could usually foresee the futures of most people, but they couldn’t get any read on where this young man named Su Xing was headed.

‘This guy… It’s impossible to imagine how far he’ll go. Showing some goodwill before he’s fully matured might create some unexpected opportunities for us in the future.’

“In that case…”

Su Xing glanced at the surrounding wreckage, then turned his gaze to Yao Yixiao. He saw Yao Yixiao weaving the space before him into a line of transparent text.

Although Su Xing could barely see it, he could sense the words with his perception. He silently recited them to himself:

“Meet at the organization’s building.”

‘He wants me to go to the organization’s building in Luocheng and give him the flower there.’ Su Xing immediately understood. He didn’t know why, but since he still had questions for the man, he said nothing, simply pretending not to have seen a thing.

Seeing Su Xing’s reaction, the man knew he had agreed. He immediately dispelled the line of text to prevent anyone else from noticing, then clasped his fist and said:

“Urgent business calls at the organization. Since things here are settled, I’ll be taking my leave.”

“Minister Yao, take care.”

Ao Lin didn’t try to stop him. They were all colleagues of a similar rank in this region and knew each other inside and out. Ao Lin knew Yao Yixiao wasn’t actually leaving on urgent organization business, but he wasn’t curious about the man’s true intentions either.

He understood Yao Yixiao; whatever he was up to, it wouldn’t affect the grand scheme of things, much less Dragon Gate. Right now, all Ao Lin wanted was to stabilize the situation at Dragon Gate.

“Very well!” Yao Yixiao said with a nod. His figure then vanished from sight. Though they hadn’t seen Yao Yixiao in action this time, the control a Rank 8 Space Sequencer had over space was truly astounding.

‘At the very least,’ Su Xing thought, ‘I couldn’t depart so smoothly, let alone perform a detailed feat like manipulating space to form words. I wouldn’t be able to control it at all.’

Perhaps…

‘…this is the unique advantage of being a Space Sequencer.’

After all, Su Xing had always assumed that any Extraordinary Being could master spatial power as they grew stronger. If that were true, wouldn’t it be terribly unfortunate for Space Sequencers? But it seemed that wasn’t the case. Even if you could master spatial power, the power they mastered would only be stronger.

Su Xing had never truly experienced the full extent of their methods. Sequencers of this type had countless tricks up their sleeves. Su Xing had suffered a loss at the hands of the Space High Priest before, which was why he took Yao Yixiao’s abilities so seriously. Fortunately, Yao Yixiao was on his side.

“Well, I should be on my way as well.”

Lin Tianhan was a man of few words. He had no great range of expressions, nor did he say much else. Perhaps his personality was a bit cold, but this very trait made him seem more trustworthy.

“Of course. Minister Lin, take care. I’ll be sure to visit Liu City if I get the chance.”

Ao Lin replied with the same courtesy.

“Mm.”

“If Dragon Gate runs into any trouble, you can report it to the organization. Once it’s approved, the organization will provide you with assistance.”

“Rest assured.”

“Mm.”

Lin Tianhan nodded. He then ripped space open and slipped inside. Compared to Yao Yixiao, whose spatial teleportation was completely invisible, Lin Tianhan’s method was much more blunt. If one had to make a comparison, his mastery over space was probably on par with Su Xing’s.

After both men had left, Ao Lin’s entire body finally relaxed. The once-bustling atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The surrounding ruins reminded him of the horrific scene of his brother’s death.

“Sect Leader Ao?”

Su Xing’s voice broke the silence. Only then did Ao Lin realize that Su Xing hadn’t left. He forced a smile and cleared his throat.

“My apologies, I was lost in thought.”

“Su Xiaoyou, feel free to move about Dragon Gate as you wish. No one in the sect will stop you. If you want to leave, Yi Changhao will be with you for the time being. Just let him know.”

“As for the flower, I’ll have Yi Changhao deliver it to your current residence as well. I ought to play the part of a proper host, but my mind is in turmoil right now, so please excuse me.”

After speaking, Ao Lin’s figure blurred into an afterimage and vanished. To be honest, with the great battle just over, Su Xing had no idea if his own quarters had been destroyed, or if Yi Changhao was even still alive. Despite what Ao Lin had said, Su Xing was still at a loss for what to do.
