“Are you telling the truth? Are Shang Ningyi and Xue Fangyang really talking about the inter-plane travelers?” he asked.
“Yes, my Lord. Someone heard Shang Ningyi and Xue Fangyang arguing that day. I only heard about it later, but it’s true.”
The guardian nodded with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice.
“I heard that the successor of the inter-plane travelers also has an artifact. Those two are after that artifact and want to acquire it to enter and leave the various planes freely.”
Tang Zhengxiao sneered.
Those two are reallygreedy! Do they think they can get something that belongs to the successor of the inter-plane travelers just because they want it?
When the guardian saw him sneer, he asked carefully, “My Lord, do you think we should…
However, before he could finish speaking, Tang Zhengxiao glared at him.
They had to get along with the successor of the inter-plane travelers.
Snatching something that belonged to him would be a death sentence!
“If anyone can become an inter-plane traveler, Huayan Peak will be full of them. Would they still have a god-like existence?”
“Did they say who they think it is?” Tang Zhengxiao asked.
The guardian replied, “I didn’t find out anything about this, so no one else should either. However, Shang Ningyi has recently been very interested in
Madam Qian, An Jiuyue, from Camp Zhan Yun. I think something is amiss.”
Tang Zhengxiao went silent.
Why is Qian Jiyun the one who gets all the good things?
Neither Shang Ningyi nor I can compare to Qian Jiyun in terms ofstrength. In fact, our camps combined are not as powerful as Qian Jiyun’s.
And now his wife may be the successor of the inter-plane travelers! I can’t even compare to Qian Jiyun in terms ofluck!
“It seems like I can’t go against Qian Jiyun anymore. I have to befriend him, ” he said faintly.
Puzzled, the guardian asked, “Why?”
Shang Ningyi and Xue Fangyang were most likely targeting An Jiuyue. It would not hurt to target her as well, right?
After all, a grapple between a snipe and a clamp would benefit the fisherman.
“What do you know?” Tang Zhengxiao rolled his eyes at him.
“I want to become the successor of the inter-plane travelers too, but I’m not that lucky. What can I do? Between Shang Ningyi and Xue Fangyang, who do you think will be so lucky to become an inter-plane traveler despite not being the successor?
“They want to snatch the successor’s artifact? That’s a wonderful dream.
Nobody else dreams like them. Think about it. Would that artifact be an ordinary one?”
“My Lord, you mean…” The guardian gulped and drew his neck back.
He had intended to help Tang Zhengxiao gather information covertly and be the fisherman who reaped the benefits of obtaining the artifact.
It seemed like he could not do this anymore.
“Throughout history, evil has never triumphed over good. It is an enduring truth.”
Tang Zhengxiao stood up from his chair, putting his hands behind his back as he looked at the guardian.
“You probably don’t know this, but the successor of the inter-plane travelers is not determined by the inter-plane travelers themselves. They are born as successors. Nobody can take what is rightfully theirs.”
