Chapter 753
In all the time that the City of Worlds had been established, there had never been a person who dared to be disrespectful to Sara Victoria.
Seeing this scene, a few moments of expectation and hope surfaced in Bi’s eyes.
It was better that Ying Zidian had offended the Queen Mother and then been executed.
This was Ying Zidian’s own doing, not anyone else’s.
If she was executed by the Sage, the Leingold family would not dare to complain.
This way, there would be one less opponent for her to run for the position of Grand Master.
After that, she would find a way to get rid of Heero.
Bea’s eyes turned with the knight’s leg and her heart skipped a beat.
However, the kick didn’t even reach the girl’s clothes.
In the next second, it was as if some great force came through the air and crushed the knight’s leg.
“Ahhh…!!!”
The knight let out a wretched scream, and his body instantly flew backwards.
At that exact moment, another slender figure slowly entered through the side door of the hall.
The Sage Pope, Louis Theseus!
The two knights of the sceptre who were beside Louis changed their expression and shouted, “How dare you!”
One of the scepter knights stepped forward and, without any cushion, raised his leg at the flying knight.
“Boom!”
The knight instantly slammed into the opposite wall.
“Click, click, click, click-”
It was the sound of bones shattering.
The knight coughed violently and stretched out his hand to say something, but blood kept flowing down the corner of his mouth and he couldn’t even catch his breath.
Ying Zigui’s internal energy had not done much damage to him.
Instead, it was the Sceptre Knight’s kick that shattered his bones and internal organs.
It was also this movement that brought Louis’ attention to the girl in the hall.
A glint of amazement swept through his eyes.
At that moment, a cold female voice came from the back.
“What’s going on?”
Both Bea’s and Lanen’s hearts tightened and their heads buried even lower.
Ying Ziji lifted her head and looked ahead.
A pair of phoenix eyes were waveless and dark as night.
The woman was dressed in an elaborate palace gown, wearing a crown and holding a sceptre in her hand, her majesty was evident.
The Sage Queen, Sara Victoria!
“Sage, Sage Queen ……” The knight spat out blood again, unable to finish even a single sentence.
His head lolled and he was completely lifeless.
Sara’s face was instantly as cold as ice: “Who did this?!”
The knight of the sceptre who had done it earlier was not condescending: “Back to Your Majesty, he wanted to do something untoward to Lord Pope, that’s why my subordinate did it.”
Bea was also completely unable to see exactly how the knight had flown out.
She hesitated for a moment, but lifted her head and blurted out, “My Lord Queen, she was the one who didn’t kneel to you in the first place.”
Sara’s attention was indeed diverted and her gaze fell on Ying Zigui, “Hm-?”
Bi’er’s heart rejoiced.
Disrespecting a sage would end in death.
“Sara, where did you get all those rules?” However, Louis’ voice eased, “It’s not a New Year’s ceremony, what’s there to kneel for?”
Sara had seen the girl’s face.
It was an extremely beautiful face.
Dark hair, black eyes, and picturesque eyebrows.
The girl’s skin was as white as jade, almost transparent.
The light reflecting from the magnificent hall tinted her face with a pale gold, gloriously divine.
She wore a very simple shirt and jeans, but the atmosphere was clear.
Even Sara had a little jealousy rising up inside her.
Especially since Louis was defending a mortal flesh in front of her, undermining her prestige and dignity.
But the Sage Pope and she were on equal footing, so Sara could only hold her anger.
“Alright, all rise.” Louis waved his hand and sat down on the other throne.
When Bea and Lan En and the other three heard this, they were all a little flattered, “Thank you, Lord Pope.”
After such an incident, Sara was not in a mood and looked sickly.
It was Louis, on the contrary, who kept asking questions.
But anyone could see that the only person he was interested in was Ying Zidian.
Even though Ying Zidian was distant and indifferent to him, Louis was still patient.
An unbelievable thought rose in Bea’s mind, and an unspeakable panic.
Could it be that the Pope had taken a shine to Ying Zidian?
Was he mad?
Was she worthy of him?
“Well, that’s it for today.” Louis regretted not being able to ask anything, “Sara’s health is not good these days, so you should not disturb it any more.”
After a pause, he specifically admonished, “Be careful on the way.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he still didn’t respond too much and turned to leave.
Bi’er couldn’t believe it.
She walked out of the hall and just felt her blood run cold.
“Look, this is the gap between people.” Heero, who didn’t know when she arrived, shook her head and sighed, “How come you didn’t get the Lord Pope’s favour when you went in together?”
“You shut up!” Bea finally relented, “That’s no favour, that’s just looking at faces!”
Heero sighed again, “Face is capital too, how long has His Holiness lived? He has seen thousands of beauties, how come only Ying Zidian has caught his eye?”
Bi’er gritted her teeth, stopped paying attention to Heero and entered the lift with quick steps.
Her back was in a mess and she was running away.
“Miss Heero.” The steward approached, respectfully, “Are you staying overnight at the Sage’s House today, or are you returning to the Leingold family?”
“Back to the house.” Heero looked at Bea’s back and smiled faintly, “I’m running for Grand Master next month, I have to get used to it first, so I can’t let the Queen down.”
**
Inside the hall, only the two Magi remained.
Having been brushed off by Louis in public, Sara’s expression was slightly chilly.
She gave a cold laugh, “It seems that the Wheel of Fortune is nothing in your mind, so you have moved on so quickly?”
At the mention of the seal, Louis’ expression changed as well.
His voice sank, “Sara, watch your words and behaviour.”
“What, did I say something wrong?” Sara leaned back on her throne, her gaze sharp as a tack, “You knew she was completely fallen and that there was no chance of being with her.”
“So you changed targets so quickly? She can be just an ordinary person, comparable to you who has a long life span?”
Sara sneered again, “I can’t help but feel bad for the Wheel of Fortune.”
Eleventh of the Twenty-Two Sages, thewheeloffortune.
It knows the destiny of the heavens, it knows the destiny of marriage, it judges past lives, it judges future lives.
It knows everything and knows nothing.
The Wheel of Fate’s special ability can be said to be the most buggy of the twenty-two sages.
As long as she is there, she is invincible.
She is the most terrifying in the world of divine calculation.
But relatively speaking, the Wheel of Destiny is not very powerful in battle.
Although she did not participate in the battle, she also fell in that Holy War.
At that time, the appearance of the Divine Reckoner shook the House of Magi a little.
It was because the Divine Reckoner’s powers were exactly the same as those of the Wheel of Fortune.
Louis himself went out to the World City to contact the Divine Reckoner.
Later, he gave up.
One, because the Divine Reckoner was too mysterious and had a high force value.
Secondly, it was a pity that the Divine Reckoner was not from here, but had come from another universe across time and space.
In no way could it be tied to the Wheel of Fortune.
Which of the Sages who had fallen completely in this long history had come back?
The Sage Fool and the Sage Temperance, too, had both fallen completely in two world-cla*s catastrophes that were enough to destroy the world.
Louis frowned, “You want to meddle in my personal matters too?”
“I’m just reminding you that since you like her, she should never succeed as the head of the Great House.” Sara said lightly, “I don’t need to remind you who to choose when the election comes, do I?”
Louis frowned more tightly, “I know.”
He got up and left the hall.
Sara pressed her head and exhaled slowly, her face still hard.
It was just that, a mere mortal in flesh, not even worthy to be in her eyes.
What did she care about that.
**
Evening.
The trainees of the Engineering Institute had specially chartered a barbecue shop next to the Institute to celebrate today’s victory.
“Ying Shen, what did the sage masters say to you?” Ye Siqing was curious, “I see that Lan En and Bi’er don’t look very well, and Bi’er is crying.”
Ying Ziji looked pause, “Where did you learn to call them that?”
“Online.” Ye Siqing was very natural, “Many netizens call you that.”
Ying Zidian: “……”
It seemed that the advancement of technology hadn’t allowed netizens to evolve a bit as well.
“Didn’t say anything.” Ying Zidian slowly and methodically picked up a string of koanban, “Asking if I have a marriage.”
Ye Siqing: “???”
She couldn’t figure it out, so she had to jerk off seriously.
When Ying Ziji picked up the second skewer, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
Her ears twitched and she abruptly raised her hand and swept Ye Siqing into her arms.
Before Ye Siqing could react, she was just pressed under the table, and in the next second, the barbecue stall turned into a pile of fire and ashes.
The fire was blazing.
All around was the sound of screams.
Ye Siqing was shocked: “Ying Shen?”
She struggled to look up, and saw the girl still sitting on the chair.
Between her slender fingers, a bullet was clutched.
Chapter 754
With the help of the “strawberry candy” given by Ying Ziji, Ye Siqing had the talent of ancient martial arts and had also developed internal energy.
However, she was only a beginner and had not yet been exposed to the real ancient martial arts secrets.
She had been experimenting at the Institute and occasionally performed simulated training.
But this real version of a large artillery fire scene was something Ye Siqing had never seen at all.
The same was true of all the other trainees.
Ying Ziji’s fingers loosened.
With a “clang”, the bullet made of metal fell to the ground.
She lifted her head and swept her gaze, not seeing any enemies.
There were only a few drones overhead, hovering and whistling.
It was these drones that had sent the earlier attack.
It was also the sound of the drones’ wings turning that she heard.
“Everyone, don’t panic.” Ying Ziji drew out a laser gun from her waist, her expression calm, “We researched all the high-tech weapons in the World City, what are we afraid of.”
This sentence was like a rea*surance pill, giving the trainees great confidence.
They had all brought along some laser weapons for self-defence as well.
It came in handy at this time.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
A few explosions and the drones all shattered apart.
“Be careful!”
Ying Ziji once again wrapped his arms around Ye Siqing, holding her head and crouching down together.
Then with a backhand, he fired a shot behind him.
The laser instantly came out, blasting the drone that was only half a metre close to them into pieces.
Ye Siqing’s expression changed, “This drone is still invisible!”
There were two types of cloaking technology in World City.
One was an invention researched by the Engineering Academy using light reflection and other techniques.
The other was the alchemical drug of the Biogenetic Institute.
No wonder none of them had noticed it at first.
This time, the trainees also had their hands full.
Ying Ziji narrowed his eyes slightly and took out a pair of gla*ses from his pocket, throwing them to Ye Siqing, “Senior Sister Ye, put them on.”
Ye Siqing immediately put the gla*ses on.
In that same moment, all the invisible drones were revealed in front of her eyes.
She clearly saw the largest one slamming straight towards the girl.
Ye Siqing lost her voice: “Senior sister Ying, be careful!”
“Boom!”
There was a burst of fire and an instantaneous shaking.
The trainees were all shaken to the ground.
Ying Ziji was also lying on the ground.
But she was shielding a hand under her head and around her waist, and there was internal energy to insulate her from the cannon fire.
The huge drone, too, was completely destroyed.
The man’s strong arms held up a zone of absolute safety.
The familiar emerald sinker fell.
A tenderness that makes people sink to their death.
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes twitched: “Sir?”
“Well, I’m always by your side.” Fu Yunshen hugged her, making sure she didn’t have any injuries, before his eyes softened down, “You stay here, I’ll go up there, the general control is not here.”
“Good.” Ying Zidian stood up with a grave expression, “Be safe.”
Fu Yunshen nodded slightly.
In the next second, internal energy exploded out and he disappeared from his spot with great speed.
After Ye Siqing climbed up, he saw such a scene.
“Ying, Ying Shen, did you see that?” She rubbed her eyes and stammered, “Did a man just, just now, go past?”
Ying Ziji babbled in a serious manner, “A gust of wind, you saw it wrong.”
Ye Siqing pinched herself to death, “Then maybe it was a mistake.”
With the gla*ses, Ye Siqing easily aimed at the other drones.
Ten minutes later, all of the dozens of drones were shot down and a sneak attack came to an end.
After a real battle, the trainees were all paralyzed with exhaustion and fell to the ground in twos and threes to catch their breath.
The barbecue stall was completely destroyed, but fortunately no one was killed or injured.
Ying Zidian put on her gloves, knelt down and started sorting out the wreckage of the drones.
She looked over them one by one and didn’t find any markings.
But this style of acting did resemble the black skull symbol that she had fought with many times.
Ying Ziyi pondered for a moment, picking up a few pieces and putting them away.
Not surprisingly, some kind of alchemical drug should have been applied to this, so go back and ask Norton to check it out.
Let him have something to do with the kids all day long.
**
The other side.
On a hill at the back of the Institute.
There were a dozen men dressed in black, all with binoculars watching the battle ahead.
They even clearly saw Ying Ziyi blocking a bullet with just one hand.
Genetically modified people, too, would never have such an ability.
Inner strength outwardly manifested, ancient martial arts master!
“Quick!” The man in black at the head of the group put down his binoculars, “Report this to His Excellency immediately!”
The ancient martial artist that entered the World City had to be gotten rid of!
I didn’t expect to just sneak up on the elites of the Engineering Academy, but instead, they encountered an ancient martial artist.
Two birds with one stone.
However, before he could move, there was a strong wind sweeping in.
In just two seconds’ time, all the men in black fell to the ground.
At the sight of the demonically handsome face, the man in black at the head of the group stared in disbelief, “You, you are-”
“Want to report a message?” Fu Yunshen slowly leaned down and laughed lowly, “Do you think that I would give you this opportunity?”
The man in black’s eyes widened as the intense pain caused him to let out a scream.
“No one -” the smile on Fu Yunshen’s lips was cool, “can’t touch her.”
He said, his hand already moving.
With an indifferent expression, the man directly tore open the black-clothed man’s wound and removed the chip from his body.
The man in black didn’t even manage to press the signal transmitter in the chip before his consciousness completely disappeared.
With a grip of Fu Yunshen’s hand, the chip was completely scrapped.
He swept his gaze and had no intention of helping to collect the corpse.
Instead, he leaned against a tree, his long, slender legs flexed, and took out a folded notebook.
His peach blossom eyes narrowed to a smile, thin and cold and hostile.
A program was gradually generated and transmitted to the internet.
In an instant, all surveillance within ten streets, with the Institute as the centre, had been erased.
Fu Yunshen closed his notebook, glanced at the time, and went straight to the dormitory area of the Institute.
Because of the earlier unrest, the Institute was heavily screened tonight.
But climbing out of the window was indeed a breeze for Fu Yunshen.
In the bedroom.
The girl is lying on the table, her eyelashes drooping.
The girl is as quiet as an old painting.
It was as if there had been such an image many years ago.
He was watching her quietly from a distance.
Fu Yunshen’s eyes were slightly averted as he sat down at one side: “Did you get hurt after I left?”
“Nothing happened to me, I’m just quite sleepy.” Ying Ziji opened her eyes and turned her head, “Rather, the children are frightened.”
“You finally sound like an old ancestor this time.” Fu Yunshen stroked her head and smiled, “Is there something of your own to tell me about?”
“Yes, there is something.” Ying Ziji straightened up and raised her eyebrows, “This morning I went to the House of Magi and the Pope asked me if I had a marriage.”
Fu Yunshen’s expression gave a pause, his peach blossom eyes instantly dangerous for a few moments, his trailing voice raised, “Hm?”
Louis Theseus, looking at his girl?
“Sir, I think -” Ying Ziyi thought for a moment, “you might have to take it upon yourself to intimidate this time.”
Fu Yunshen bent down and pressed his forehead against hers, “Yoyo, attracting butterflies, honestly, are you discharging your sexual energy at people?”
Ying looked up, “Tonight, it’s forbidden for you to sleep with me in your arms.”
“……”
**
Saturday.
The w-net administrator’s control room.
The control room, like the knight’s headquarters, is located near the sage’s courtyard.
There are seven administrators of the w-net, rotating on a cycle of seven days a week.
They don’t refer to each other by name, only by number.
“006, you’re on duty today.” 005 sorted out yesterday’s data and handed it to Ling Yu, admonishing, “There is some turmoil in World City these days, there will be quite a few unsuspecting people bringing rhythm on w-net, make sure to pay attention.”
The w-net, as the only network in World City, had a hundred percent coverage, and all the residents obtained their news through the w-net.
Ling Yu nodded, “Definitely.”
“Also, I heard from 004 that Lord Hermit has been at the Sage’s House for the last few days.” 005 added, “Maybe we’ll be summoned in a few days, so make sure you do your job well.”
Ling Yu nodded his head again.
After the work was handed over, Administrator 005 left the control room.
Ling Yu sat in front of the central control computer, logged into his administrator account and opened the backstage control centre.
He typed in the word “Lehngar family” in the search box.
The account was quickly locked.
Ling Yu could also see all the comments posted under the account.
The latest message was a picture of Ying Zidian.
Ling Yu was amazed.
This young lady welcomed back by the Leingold family was indeed of great value.
After saving the photo, Ling Yu went behind the account management and found the option to ban.
A red box popped up
[Please confirm the account ban for 15 days!
[During the ban period, all functions and privileges of the account will be deactivated, and the reputation value will also drop.
Ling Yu directly clicked OK.
