"Don't think too much about the Banishing Blades," the Pharmacist interjected. "Focus on your abilities.
I've been searching for the diagram of the Banishing Strategy. If humanity is in danger, we'll have to find a way to set it up. That's the only way to save humanity.
Once we find the diagram, we'll be able to sense the location of the Banishing Blades. Perhaps … "
A glimmer of hope flashed across her beautiful eyes as she spoke.
Yes!
If they could find the head of the Banishing Blades, perhaps they could find her husband!
"Sis," Lan Jue said, "if you have any information about the Banishing Strategy, call me. I'll help you find it."
"Alright."
The Pharmacist nodded. "I got some information from Captus and Demortus, but I'll need more confirmation.
However, we still need to confirm it further. Your top priority now is to work hard on your cultivation.
You can tell Qian Lin, so she can prepare.
Also, I have to tell you that if you want to use the Dual Sword Harmony Technique in the future, then you must not have any barriers between you. The prerequisite for the Dual Sword Harmony Technique is that your emotions and hearts must be in harmony.
That is the only way to unleash the true power of the Harmonious Swords.
If you can complete the Harmonious Swords and reach Paragon level before we find the Banishing Strategy, then it will be humanity's most powerful weapon. "
Lan Jue sighed. "Sis, you're giving me even more of a burden!
I don't know if I can handle it. "
The Pharmacist's voice hardened. "If you can, then you must. If you can't, then you must.
It's our destiny.
Remember.
No matter when.
I'll share this burden with you.
Don't think the Clairvoyant controls your destiny.
I know you're thinking that.
Everything the Clairvoyant did was for the sake of humanity's future.
The sacrifice he had made was even greater than anyone else's.
Compared to him, what we've sacrificed is nothing. "
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat as he listened. He slowly nodded his head.
"Alright," the Pharmacist said. "You're tired.
Go back and rest.
I'll tell you this.
Don't tell anyone but Qian Lin. "
"Alright." Lan Jue nodded.
After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Lan Jue's mind was still in turmoil. The Banishing Blades were a name that resounded far and wide.
His mind was a mess, but the Pharmacist's words were like a morning bell or a evening drum. She pointed out the right path for him.
Yes, it didn't feel good to be controlled by others, but if it was for the sake of the entire human race, what was the big deal?
"Boss.
Are you going to learn from Yu the Great in controlling the flood and prepare to pass the door three times without entering? "
An irritated voice interrupted.
Lan Jue turned his head to see Ke 'er standing in front of the jewelry store with her hands on her hips. She was glaring at him with her almond-shaped eyes.
He'd reached the door of his own Zeus Jewelry Shop, and was about to walk in.
"Have you been good these days, Ke 'er?" Lan Jue asked with a carefree smile on his face.
He was still wearing a hat and a mask to hide his identity. Others couldn't tell, but how could Kerr not recognize him?
"Hmph!"
Kerr huffed. "You're the one who hasn't been good. You've been gone for so long, and you don't even care about us.
What an irresponsible boss.
You've all gone, and I've been busy all day. Kerr's tired to death!
So many people come in every day, I'm so busy I can't take care of everything. Luckily I have Sister An Liu to help. "
An Liu?
Captain of the Skyfire Avenue Enforcement Team.
Wasn't that right?
Looking at the endless stream of people on Skyfire Avenue, business must be good these days. It was natural that Kerr couldn't take care of everything by herself.
Lan Jue said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Kerr. I didn't expect so many people to come.
What reward do you want?
I'll tell you. "
Kerr puffed out her chest, and said with a crooked face, "Give me a kiss and I'll let you go!"
"No!"
Before Lan Jue could answer, three pairs of hands stretched out from behind Kerr and pulled her back. Then, Mika poked his head out of the door. "Boss, come in."
Lan Jue smiled. That's right!
I'm home. This feeling is really warm.
Zeus Jewelry Shop was packed to the rafters. Lin Guo-guo and Xiu Xiu had just returned and were busying themselves. Kerr had also been pulled back to the counter.
The number of power gems on display was noticeably less, and more people were waiting in line to pay.
Since when did power gems become so easy to buy?
Lan Jue was a little speechless.
Mika transmitted to him, "Boss, when this wave of customers is done, let's close the shop for a while, and then summarize what we've gained and what's going on in the shop."
Lan Jue nodded. He'd been gone for so long, he really did need to know what was going on in the shop. His trip had been fruitful, but Mika and the others had done most of the work. He didn't know much.
Mika hung a "Closed" sign outside the door, then threw himself in to help.
Dawn Angel Su Xiaosu stood in a corner, watching the bustling scene in the small shop. Her eyes were filled with confusion and disappointment.
Lan Jue walked to her side. "What's wrong?
You're not used to this? "
Xiaosu shook her head. "It's not that I'm not used to it. It's just that I'm looking forward to it. It's a wonderful feeling.
To be able to live in peace and quiet, without worrying about your safety, without having to think about life or death. It's wonderful!
I've always hoped for a day like this.
Thank you, boss. "
Lan Jue smiled. He didn't refuse the term of address. He'd brought her back, and he was prepared to make her stay.
What else could he do?
He couldn't kick her out.
The Pontiff's Citadel knew it was Lan Jue who'd done it. They'd be keeping an eye on Skyfire Avenue. If it weren't for the threat of aliens, and the fact that Skyfire Avenue was too powerful, things would've been much more troublesome.
"If you like it, then stay. I'm sure it won't be hard for you to blend in with them." Lan Jue smiled.
Xiaosu shook her head. "I really want to stay. I'll work hard to make them accept me.
But not now, boss. I'm just about to say my goodbyes. "
"You're leaving?" Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat.
Xiaosu nodded. "Back on Moonfiend, I had a group of people with me. Many of them went through fire and water with me.
The Moonfiend Pirates were puppets of the Pontiff's Citadel, but I've been around for years. I have my own people.
They won't have a good time without me. If Gao Yong hadn't found you, I wouldn't have made it out alive. I can't ignore them, so I want to save them. I want to take control of the Moonfiend Pirates again. "
Lan Jue frowned. "You've changed your mind?" She'd said she wanted to live here with him!
Xiaosu sighed. "It was you who helped me change my mind. When I saw your heroic deeds on Taihua, I realized that people can't live for themselves. They can't live so selfishly.
I can see how strong these aliens are. If we want to fight them in the future, Adepts won't be enough.
We need our own power.
I've been on Moonfiend for many years, and I've built up a lot.
I want to help them fight the aliens, and free them from the Pontiff's Citadel's control. "
Lan Jue listened to her words and nodded. His eyes shone with relief. "I'm glad you feel that way. I'll support you.
But it's too dangerous for you to go back alone. I can't split myself up. "
Xiaosu shook her head. She smiled. "I'm not the same person I used to be. If it weren't for the Pontiff's Citadel's support and the restrictions they placed on me, it wouldn't have been so easy to take me away from Moonfiend.
Now, I have cut off all ties with them, and with your help, my restrictions are gone.
The sea is wide, the fish can leap, the sky is high, the birds can soar.
It won't be so easy for them to catch me again. "Her beautiful eyes shone with wisdom and confidence, and her aura was oppressive.
Lan Jue chuckled. "It looks like our Moonfiend Empress is about to show off her power.
If you're confident, I won't stop you. Take Zeus -1 with you.
I'm sure it'll be a great help to you. "
Zeus -1 had been remodeled and fitted with a Blinding Stone. It was a heaven-defying battleship.
One could only imagine how much help it would be to Xiaosu.
"Boss, I can't take it. It's too expensive." Xiaosu's eyes reddened.
Lan Jue chuckled. "Who said I'm giving it to you? I'm lending it to you.
You'll have to pay it back later.
There's something else I can help you with … "He transmitted his voice to Xiaosu. She listened, nodding repeatedly. Her eyes shone with a strange light.
"Alright, it's settled then.
When everything's settled, I'll come back. Make sure there's a place for me in Zeus Jewelry Shop. "Xiaosu beamed.
Lan Jue smiled. "I'm more than happy that the Moonfiend Empress is willing to be my assistant. Zeus Jewelry Shop will always welcome you."
Xiaosu glanced at the other women, who were busy. "I won't bid them farewell. I know they all have a grudge against me.
The next time I come back, I'll let them know that I can do just as much for the boss as they can. "With that, she threw herself at Lan Jue and gave him a big hug. Then she turned and walked away.
Xiaosu's body was soft and supple, almost boneless. It was different from most women. Lan Jue froze in her embrace. By the time he recovered, Xiaosu was gone.
