14: The fear of the hero number one, you are her uncle

Chapter 14: Xia Zhe No. 1's Panic, You Are Her Granduncle

Long Xingyu took a step forward, and the power of his domain also silently spread at this moment.

At this moment, Xia Zhe No. 1 also acutely sensed this aura.

“This is a domain?”

“Is there a ninth-tier, second-grade existence slowly approaching here?”

A hint of anxiety flashed across Xia Zhe No. 1’s indifferent face. Ordinarily, there wouldn't be powerful individuals in Odin Town.

If there were, then given the current situation, it was possible that Cai'er’s identity had been exposed. Many people coveted a Blessed One like the Reincarnation Saintess!

Therefore, at this moment, Xia Zhe No. 1 began searching for the powerful individual nearby and looking for an opportunity to call for help. He knew that in front of a domain-level existence, he absolutely had no chance of escaping!

However, Long Xingyu paid no attention to him. Instead, he slowly walked up to Long Haochen, looked at his extraordinarily handsome face, activated his spiritual power, and levitated him.

“The battle with the Wolf Demon just now caused many of his bones to break. Although Xia Zhe No. 1 had sorted out his twelve main meridians, he wasn't completely healed,” Long Xingyu saw everything at a glance.

Immediately, a brilliant light power was released from Long Xingyu’s hand and slowly injected into Long Haochen’s body, treating his injuries.

And at this moment, Xia Zhe No. 1 finally recognized who this person was.

“Long Xingyu?”

“He is Long Xingyu?”

“The Hall Master of the Knight Temple, the wielder of the Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter, the Knight of Divine Seal of Judgment and Inquisition, Long Xingyu!”

“Why is he here?”

Xia Zhe No. 1 was very confused. He never expected Long Xingyu not to stay at Yulong Pass or be fighting A'nan.

Why would he appear in such a small Odin Town? What was he planning to do?

However, after realizing it was Long Xingyu, Xia Zhe No. 1 gradually relaxed immediately.

He had watched Long Xingyu's rise, and although their relationship wasn't excellent, he understood his character very well.

Furthermore, the Knight Temple and the Assassin Temple had always been on good terms.

Under such circumstances, it was even more impossible for Long Xingyu to know about his temple's genius and then choose to secretly hunt him!

This wasn't Long Xingyu.

There must be some hidden reason!

Soon, after finishing Long Haochen's treatment, Long Xingyu slowly put him down. Long Haochen was already sound asleep from exhaustion.

Because of this, Long Xingyu turned his head to look at Xia Zhe No. 1 and Cai'er.

“Starry-Sky… Hall Master Xingyu, why are you here?” Xia Zhe No. 1 said nervously, then looked at Long Haochen and suddenly asked with a puzzled gaze, “What is your relationship with this child?”

“I am his father,” Long Xingyu did not change the subject but explained calmly.

“What?” Xia Zhe No. 1 was dumbfounded.

He knew Long Xingyu had a spouse, but she had always stayed deep within the Knight Temple and never appeared. The outside world was also abuzz with speculation. Although Xia Zhe No. 1 hadn't actively sought information, he had gained some understanding from countless discussions.

But he never expected Long Xingyu to have a son, and in Odin Town, a place like this deep in the mountains.

At this moment, countless dramatic scenarios played out in Xia Zhe No. 1’s mind.

However, Long Xingyu paid no attention to his reaction.

Instead, he turned to look at Cai'er. After a while, he softly uttered, “Reincarnation.”

This made Xia Zhe No. 1 even more terrified. He knew!

So he knew Cai'er was the Reincarnation Saintess?

This…

Xia Zhe No. 1 suddenly didn't know how to express himself.

What surprised him most was that Long Xingyu slowly walked towards them, and his target was indeed not him, but Sheng Cai'er behind him.

This made Xia Zhe No. 1 even more terrified.

He found that he couldn't move.

Even though Long Xingyu wasn't targeting him, it was the same.

Soon, Long Xingyu walked up to Cai'er, reached out, touched Cai'er’s head, and asked, “This child, she’s that brat Ling Xin’s child, isn’t she?”

Generally speaking, Cai'er would immediately resist when someone touched her, and the Reincarnation Qi of a Reincarnation Blessed One would make her fearless of any pressure.

So Xia Zhe No. 1 was startled; he was a bit afraid that Cai'er would suddenly resist.

However, Cai'er did not resist. Instead, she stood frozen, without any rejection. For some reason, she felt no ill will towards Long Xingyu, not knowing if it was because of Saint Lingxin or Long Haochen.

“She is indeed the daughter of Ling Xin and Lan Yanyu.”

“According to your relationship with Ling Xin, this child should call you Granduncle…”

Xia explained.

Then, suddenly remembering something, he said with a hint of nervousness, “However, Hall Master Xingyu, the matter of the Reincarnation Saintess is of great importance. I hope you can keep it a secret and not reveal it.”

“After all, she is the hope of our Assassin Temple, and also a great hope for humanity’s future battle against the Demon Race. Similarly, she has sacrificed too much for the awakening of her Reincarnation physique…”

Hearing this, Long Xingyu turned to look at him and said, “Do I even need to say that?”

“The appearance of the Reincarnation physique is a major event for the Temple Alliance and for all of humanity. It is an absolute secret. You don't need to be nervous about what is more important; I will keep it confidential.”

With that, he looked at Cai'er again.

Recalling everything she and Long Haochen would experience in the future, Long Xingyu, as a father, couldn't help but show a somewhat benevolent gaze.

Hearing this, Xia Zhe No. 1 let out a long breath.

That's good, that's good!

The importance of Cai'er to the Assassin Temple needed no further explanation. She was already the great-granddaughter of Saint Moon, the current Hall Master of the Assassin Temple, and the only daughter of Saint Lingxin, the Chief of Military Affairs.

Moreover, she possessed the rare Reincarnation physique, seen only once in three millennia, a Reincarnation Saintess with full Innate Inner Spiritual Power!

One must know that the previous owner of the Reincarnation physique was the Reincarnation Holy Son, who was even able to severely injure the Demon God Emperor of that time, bringing him to the brink of death, despite being only a ninth-tier, third-grade existence.

If she were allowed to grow up?

What would happen then?

That might be the terminator of the struggle between humanity and the Demon Race!

For all of this, they had sacrificed too much over the past few years, so it was naturally impossible to allow Cai'er to be exposed.

If Long Xingyu insisted, then Xia Zhe No. 1 truly had no other option…

Fortunately, he agreed to keep it a secret!

However, he soon turned to look at Long Xingyu.

He was about to say something.

But suddenly, he froze.

Because Long Xingyu's gaze was very strange.

Truly very strange.

It wasn't the gaze one would give a genius.

But rather, a kind of…?

Very… benevolent. Yes, it was a benevolent gaze.

At this moment, Xia Zhe No. 1 was dumbfounded.
