Chapter 370: The Operation Commences

“She agreed, and in the end it had taken less than three years In that tiest clan in the whole of the Shattered Starfields About then, I also discovered that she had hailed from the Pontiff’s Citadel”

Afterwards, Lan Jue had coence to protect hi his adventures

“I have a question,” Zhou Qianlin said, after hearing Lan Jue’s tale

Lan Jue nodded “What’s that?”

“If we’re going to face the Citadel, why didn’t you bring the Wine Master?” She asked “He’s right there on the Barrows – I’m sure he’ll help if you ask”

Lan Jue shook his head at the suggestion “I haven’t told the Wine Master anything about all this If it were just me then it wouldn’t much of an issue Even if I was captured, the Citadel wouldn’t dare anger the Avenue With t Paragons in the East, they’d have to be crazy to hare or ransom, and that’d be the end of it”

“Secondly, this is a personal matter and doesn’t have any connection to the Avenue If I did drag theanizations at each others’ throat instead of a few people’s probleanization; she used Fantascia Genetica to e Star So this is an internal et involved”

“When we first ca hiher, of course But there are risks and consequences If it was revealed that he was involved, the Citadel would undoubtedly have to respond Although the differences in power between the Wine Master and the Pontiff aren’t enorer Not to mention, this is his home turf The Wine Master really wouldn’t stand a chance under conditions like that – hell, we just sahat could happen on the Barrows With the Wine Master preoccupied, we’d have to handle the rest; the Lord of the Archangels, Metatron – nearly a Paragon hiels Even if there were three of ht to the death which no one wants So after pondering, I decided it would not be a good idea to trouble the Wine Master about it This is my own operation, and doesn’t involve either the Avenue or the Citadel I can’t let anizations”

Qianlin nodded in understanding and agree here caroup would make it a very different beast that could very well lead to confrontation

“So what’s the plan? Direct force isn’t an option, so we’ll have to be clever as you said Are you familiar with this place?” Qianlin asked

Lan Jue chortled “Of course not This is the first time I’ve ever set foot in Reims But even the Pontiff’s Citadel has to use electricity, and where’s there’s electricity there’s a way in We can’t run in half-cocked, though Not only are we getting Little Yue out, but we also need to protect our identities so it doesn’t bring trouble”

Qianlin shot hilance “Little Yue, so intimate…”

Lan Jue grinned at her “When you’re handso some attention”

She kind of wanted to punch hi face, but she kneouldn’t have ended well Anyway, she didn’t really want to hurt him

They had a bite to eat, then left the hotel roo to the Cathedral, however, their first stop was the shopping mall If they wanted to protect their identities, they’d have to blend in A change of clothes was the place to start

Lan Jue bought what he assu and accessories for both he and Qianlin Of course, Qianlin’s outfit was a littlethe little they’d brought with them

All of the buildings and shops that they passed had a religious the above every doorway A handsolances as they walked frolasses to help hide his face Although they were just frames, it served to conceal hilasses, but those were not allowed to be worn inside the Cathedral It was considered disrespectful

Once they’dthe shops, however, they werethe way It was descending noisily froht over it’s intended landed spot People hustled to get out of the way

Lan Jue felt his heart skip a beat He grabbed Qianlin’s hand, and pulled her to the side The verti-car doors hissed open, and a ed It was a el of Healing, Raphael

Today, he was clad in ash-gray pants and vest A dark-colored tie sat against a white colored shi+rt He looked for all the world like a perfct gentle around Luckily, Lan Jue had pulled Qianlin aside just in tiht in to him

An Adept’s aura, their strength, interth attracted strength Raphael had no need to hide his abilitieshere in Rei his aura would iive him away

“Who’s he?” Zhou Qianlin asked
