Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 208 Why Should I Trust You?

Wang Feifei, Xin, and Uncle Feng followed Krune and Lucio into his residence. When they arrived there, Lani was also waiting.

Not only the outsiders, but even Lucio and Krune also weren't expecting to see him.

"Master, why did you come?"

Lani looked at Lucio and then at the Wang Clan people.

"After what happened, it is evident that I would keep an eye on you. As soon as the Wang Clan Head appeared, I came out to check."

Wang Xin came forward and bowed respectfully to Lani.

"Senior Lani, it is good to see you again."

Lani Gobel is one of the very few Late Stages Divinity Realm cultivators or demon beasts in the Big Four Territories. So Wang Xin treated him with the highest esteem.

Lani nodded and then and waited to see what they had to say.

Feifei, on the other hand, had never seen him. Because of that, she didn't know if it was okay to talk in his presence or not. But it was then that she heard Krune.

"It's okay. This is my Master's Master, my Grandmaster. He is a lot more reliable than the old geezer. In fact, we might as well send the old geezer away and stay with Grandmaster only."

Pow!

Once more, Krune was hit on the head by Lucio.

"Shut up and let's hear what she has to say."

Lani just shook his head.

As for Wang Xin, he didn't know what to say. Is this how Lucio's first Disciple treat him? Why would he even accept someone like that?

In the end, he decided to ignore and pay attention to what Feifei had to say too.

Feifei did her best to hold her laugh. She then took a deep breath and resumed the entire situation in a Divine Sense message.

Everyone was taken aback. Lani couldn't help but comment.

"Heavenly Core Fragments, Advanced Major Cores, Assassins that probably are from a Sacred Land. What kind of mess did we get into?"

Wang Xin was concerned about another thing.

"Feifei, why is it that you had to talk with Lucio too? This kind of thing should have been kept inside our Clan."

Lucio and Lani didn't mind that comment. They, too, didn't think that what Xin said was wrong. Still, they know why Feifei also brought this issue to them. Before Feifei could answer Wang Xin's question, Lucio did it himself.

"That's because Krune also has one of those Advanced Major Cores, am I right?"

They didn't need to think much to connect the points.

Feifei immediately nodded.

"That's correct. Krune's Major Core is most likely an Advanced Major Core too."

Xin looked at Lucio and asked.

"Did you know that already?"

Lucio nodded and shook his head right after.

"I knew that Krune's Elemental Major Core was different since it is a lot better than my own when I was at his level. I had no idea about that Advanced Major Core thing, though. It was just recently that we found out that we couldn't use Divination on Krune since Destiny Energy doesn't move with his actions. It was also because of that that I reached the conclusion that Feifei's Major Core most likely wasn't the Heavenly Core."

Lani then intervened and said.

"This is something that profoundly affects both your Clan and my Sect, so you better call Mei over. We can continue this discussion when she arrives."

Wang Xin nodded and took out some kind of Token, after putting some Spiritual Energy inside, he just waited. After a few minutes, a Spatial Gate appeared outside of the Divine Path Sect Planet. The Sect protectors immediately noticed that, but Lani sent then a Divine Sense message that it was okay. The Planet's Anti Spatial power Formation then opened a hole that an old woman used to pass through.

Once inside, she quickly teleported and appeared right inside Lucio's residence, where everyone else was.

This time, it was Lucio who bowed respectfully to her.

"It's good to see you, Senior Mei."

Mei just nodded and looked at Wang Xin.

"What is happening for you to call me over with such urgency?"

She was the Wang Clan's Strongest Ancestor, the Late Stage Divinity Realm Wang Mei.

Before Wang Xin could talk, Lani commented.

"As cautious as ever, you only sent a close over."

Mei didn't mind that comment, though.

"Do you think I'm wrong?"

Lani shook his head.

"Not at all, I'm in fact relieved to see that you never change."

Mei laughed a little and then waited for Wang Xin to tell everything. Xin then used a Divine Sense message so that everything could be understood straight away.

After hearing everything, even she was taken aback and looked at Feifei and Krune with a bitter smile.

"What a mess!"

Lani immediately laughed when he heard that.

"Yeap! That's exactly what I said when I learned about the situation too."

Mei then commented.

"But why did they send such a weak group inside that Dimensional Realm? It would have been several times faster if they had sent a few Late Stage Divinity Realm cultivators. In the end, there would be nothing that we could do against such a power."

Krune heard that and gave his opinion.

"I think I can understand why."

Mei looked at Krune and asked.

"Is that the wisp that I heard about?"

Sure enough, Krune also couldn't hide his real form against someone of her level.

Lani nodded and said.

"He is, but don't look down on him. Krune is, after all, my grand Disciple."

Mei was surprised back then when she heard that Lucio took a wisp as Disciple. But seeing him now, she could at least tell how big his talent is. Not to mention his Advanced Elemental Core.

"No wonder. Go ahead, kid. Tell us your opinion."

Krune nodded and said.

"From what I could see from those assassins, they had techniques pretty much similar to each other. That probably means that they came from the same place. Considering that all Sacred Lands want to be the one to give birth to the next Heavenly Core owner, it would be bad if their competitors found out about the existence of the same Advanced major Core."

Krune only had to talk to this point for everyone in the room to understand this situation. Mei gave him an approving nod and said.

"Very good, kid! Indeed, considering that it seems that this Sacred Land already has an Advanced Major Core owner, they don't want to alert the others that they found another one. For that, they can't mobilize a strong force since the other two Lands definitely have several eyes on them. It would be the same as giving the enemy some free information."

Mei eyes then narrowed.

"But that is just a temporary issue. From here on, let's consider that our enemy is really the Sacred lands. Since the first Sacred Land already received information about Feifei, the other two will soon find about it too. First of all, the rumors about Feifei's Core isn't exactly a secret in the Big Four territories to start with. It only took this long to reach that Sacred Land due to the distance and the fact that only the high echelon of each of our powers knew about it."

Lani and everyone else nodded.

Krune then said once more.

"There is one good thing, though. The enemy still thinks that we have no idea about the Heavenly Core Fragments, so they probably will try to get Feifei without catching the other two attention. Still, the next time will be the last one. If they fail, they will probably throw caution to the wind and mobilize a full force to get Feifei straight away. Of course, this is just a conjecture that I have."

Wang Xin couldn't help but comment.

"This wisp... is quite smart."

Lucio heard that and laughed out loud.

"Of course, he is my disciple, after all."

Lani ignored the two and continued.

"The problem here is, what are we going to do? Forget about getting a Heavenly Core owner ourselves. That would require us to fight against the Sacred land and take or kill their own Advanced Major Core one. That would just bring the destruction of our Sect and your Clan. Not to mention that for it to work, Krune or Feifei would have to give their Major Core away too, and that is absolutely out of the question."

Lani and Lucio knew Krune, he would probably kill himself before taking Feifei's Heavenly Fragment away. Also, Feifei came to speak with them from her own volution, and she definitely knew that they would notice this issue. Still, she entered the Divine Path Sect Planet without fear. Lani and Lucio haven't declined so much to pretend that it had nothing to do with them.

Lani then looked at Mei's direction.

Mei, of course, understood what that look meant.

"Hmph! If even a shameless old man like you wouldn't try something like taking our Feifei's Heavenly Fragment, what makes you think that I, your grandmother, would do so?"

Lani narrowed at that comment.

"You know that I'm older than you, right? If someone can be a Grandfather or Mother, this one is me, not you."

Mei and Lani noticed that their status as Ancestors was declining in front of the young ones and immediately came back to the main topic.

Still, Lucio couldn't help but ask Wang Xin through a Divine Sense.

"Have you ever seen them acting like that?"

Wang Xin immediately replied.

"As if! Ancestor Mei had always acted high and mighty, this is a first for me too."

Uncle Feng, who had been silent for a while already, decided to speak.

"Anyway. Because we are expecting them to come, there is a very small chance of them succeeding in taking Feifei's Heavenly Core Fragment. I guess you understand what I mean here."

Everyone nodded.

"They will be left with no other choice other than coming for a full-force attack to take Feifei away, and a Sacred Land attack is not something that we can stop with our means."

Lani pondered a bit and then said.

"We have only one choice here, and that is to send Krune and Feifei away."

Wang Mei immediately rebuked.

"I agree that I can't keep Feifei in the Clan anymore, but should I send her with Krune? What if your Grand Disciple decides to take this chance to take her Heavenly Core Fragment."

Lucio and Lani narrowed their eyes and were about to complain when suddenly, Krune cut them off.

"Ancestor Meu, there is no need to worry about that, I can guarantee that I won't ever harm Feifei."

Wang Mei looked at him and said.

"Hmph! And why should I trust you?"

Feifei was a little worried about Krune, but she had never expected what was about to happen.

"Oh, that? It's very simple, let me show you."

Krune then walked in Feifei's direction, which puzzled everyone in the room, even Feifei.

Krune then grabbed her waist and gave Feifei a kiss right in front of everyone!

Let alone Wang Xin and Mei, even Feifei herself, was shocked by that!

Those who knew Krune were speechless!

IT, WAS, KRUNE! The last being in the entire universe that Feifei, Lucio, Feng, and Lani could ever imagine doing something like that!

Krune then looked at Mei and Xin and said.

"That's because I love her!"
