322 Song Yu (1/2)

Before he visited Charya, Alex went to Song Yu's house first. They were chatting inside Song Yu's house.

\”You are leaving now?\” Song Yu asked.

\”Yes.\”

\”Then, good luck.\” Song Yu nodded her head. \”How about Putri?\”

\”She should be fine without me from now on. I have taught her the basics. She can use her Spear Intent and Spear Domain. Although it was pretty sloppy, she only needs to practice normally.\” Alex explained.

\”I see. Do you need anything from me?\”

\”Well, since you have known my identity as an Array Master, I want to ask you about it a little bit.\”

\”Well, you do not need to hide it any longer from me. You probably want to ask me how profitable it is, right?\”

\”Ahaha…\” Alex chuckled when he heard that. He nodded, \”That's right. I need to compare them.\”

\”As it will become harder to progress in the future, will you stop learning one of them?\”

\”No, I am going to continue both.\”

Song Yu looked at Alex's serious expression. She sighed and answered him honestly, \”To be honest, even I do not know which one is more profitable in your case. You are a monster in Alchemy, as well as in Array. If it is for an ordinary cultivator, Array Master would be more profitable.

\”For example, in the future, you will find the medicinal ingredients would be more and more scarce. As for Array Master, your job is still the same. You only need Array Paper made of Monster Skin and Monster blood.

\”So, from my perspective, Array Master would be an easier job and more profitable.\” Song Yu explained. But suddenly her eyes became sharp, she said, \”But it will also carry a certain risk as many influences might target you if you are a famous Array Master. After all, they are the most sought after.

\”There will be two possible outcomes should you refuse their invitation. First, they will maintain their relationship with you. And the second… they will kill you once and for all, so you will not be a threat for them in the future. So if you want a safer path, then it will be Alchemist.\”

Alex looked down, weighing something in his mind. He then looked at Song Yu, \”What if I buy the ingredients or the items and sell the finished products to you… secretly?\”

Song Yu seemed to have expected this question as there was no change of expression.

Alex frowned as Song Yu did not answer him for a while.

Suddenly Song Yu made a big smile, \”Of course, you can. You are our VIP. We will keep your secret. But, as caution as we may, others might know about it sooner or later. Or, in another case, they might suspect you, and I have some 'relationship.' And the rumor would spread…\”

\”Relationship?\” Alex was startled to hear that from her mouth.

\”What? Did this childish body of mine not attractive enough?\”

\”No. That's not what I mean. You are pretty. If I do not have my principle, I might fall in love with you at first sight.\”

\”Hehe… is that so.\” Song Yu chuckled. \”I am just kidding about that part.\”

She paused a little, pondering something.

\”Alex, can you keep this a secret?\” She asked with a serious expression.

Alex's expression also became serious. He nodded.

\”This is about the reason why I came to this place in the first place. No… I should not say I came to this place, but I fled to this place.\” Song Yu said.

\”!!!\”

\”Actually, as your master said before. Our Blackwade clan originated from Heavenly Continent.\”

Alex was astonished. He thought it might be a tragic story where they lost their power and were forced to flee to the Northern Continent. And because of Song Yu's ability, especially her extraordinary healing, she was forced to flee to this continent.

That must be it, he thought. Unfortunately, Song Yu's next sentence immediately gave a twist to his prediction.

\”The Blackwade clan is still in the Heavenly Continent and stands strong in the continent. But, back then, my grandfather made a blunder. They sent him to the Northern Continent to spread our Blackwade Clan continent.

\”But, the Blackwade clan never made a branch in the Northern Continent or Sacred Continent. As they did not need to make a branch or something. So, sending my grandfather to the Northern Continent was as good as exiled.

\”Even so, my grandfather opened many branches and was pretty successful at it. The Blackwade clan also became a big influence in the Northern Continent since we have the backing of the Blackwade clan in Heavenly Continent.

\”Unfortunately, when I was born and started showing my extraordinary hearing, many influences started eyeing me. They started to suppress our family, and I was forced to flee to this continent.\”

Alex frowned, \”Why didn't you ask help from Heavenly Continent?\”

\”We asked, we asked many times, but no help arrived. I even tried to tell them about my hearing and can help them. Unfortunately, they did not care. My grandfather tried to go back to Heavenly Continent and asked for their help, but he was rejected in the front door.\”

\”… They did not care about their face? I mean the Blackwade Clan in Heavenly Continent.\”

\”I do not know.\” Song Yu shook her head. She said, \”I am telling you about this, not because I want your sympathy. I am just telling you because I worried about your future.
