Chapter 391: The Psychic Projection Helmet

Lan Jue scratched his nose “It’s fine It’s very unlikely I’ll win, but it won’t cause me any problems These fiends… let them search There have only ever been a feho knoho Zeus is behind the mask Escape as Zeus is also easier, if that becomes necessary” No matter who or how many of the Pontiff’s men came, he didn’t worry over it

They exchanged small talk for a little while, then Hua Li and Mo Xiao left first They still had preparations towanted to take Lan Jue out on the town, but he refused The Jewelry Master didn’t have any aspirations of beco champion, but he still wished to take it seriously

These sorts of large-scale Adept events were few and far between It was very likely he’d run in to Talents froest naood opportunity to polish his own abilities

He’d already encountered quite an array of powerful Adepts since reappearing on the scene – including new Paragons The Gourmet, the Bookworm, Bize and Aubert were all fareathireat stock in the Clairvoyant’s words from before, but not completely After all, who could say what destiny truly held, or if there was such a thing? Still, becooal

The next few days were spend training with Qianlin He taught her evenhis Discipline in co like a cohesive unit Lan Jue’s own manipulations helped reveal some combat uses for Qianlin’s Queen of Heaven powers as well Aside froenic powers, her support-based Discipline could be aggressive under certain circumstances

Su Xiaosu was rarely seen outside of her hotel roo her powers back to their forlory Lan Jue asked her several times about the prison hidden beneath the Citadel – about its purpose, and what happened – but she never answered She just looked at hiht in her eyes She would shake her head and say nothing, like it was some secret burden she dare not share

Lan Jue reluctantly let theto tell hiedy

He got in touch with the Skyfire Avenue The Wine Master and the Pauper had returned by then, and he’d heard that the beggar had locked himself away After his experience with the Gods of Wine, he vanished froone Whatever it was, it had to be important

He listened as the Wine Master told hiiven after he’d left the Gods of Wine – a crate of aged wine They were choice picks froh they were all several hundreds of years old they would still be nificent

Three days before the tournae arrived

“You aren’t joining the team?” The Gourmet asked in wonder

At Lan Jue’s suggestion the Skyfire Avenue team had booked rooether in one of the hotel’s grandiose event rooainst the back of his chair with a beautiful girl on his knee, leaned against his chest A contented smile was on her face

Lan Jue spoke while stroking her hair “Right, I don’t want to participate as her levels – really just the Driver and I The less people know, the better Zeus makes more sense”

“I’ll help, daddy!” Jun’er declared fiercely fro her along, just to get her out She was a natural choice for the tearoup under forty She was very nearly at the peak of ninth level, and her poere only barely understood even by the Paragons Reputedly, no one had ever seen her eth

Lan Jue continued to gently stroke Jun’er’s hair “Man, lucky ot you a gift”

The moment Jun’er called Lan Jue daddy, the whole of Skyfire Avenue’s teaar dropped right on to his very expensive suit, and the Accountant’s jaw dropped so low you could fit a fist in it

However, despite their various reactions not a word about it dared be uttered The Pharlare was the very essence of bloody ht speak Her iave the Gourmet pause

“Really?! Whadja get me?” She tittered excitedly

“Guess,” he teased with a wink

Jun’er thought for a moment “Is it a stuffed animal?”

He shook his head “Guess again! It’s so you can use…”

“Oh! Bunny slippers!” She cried with a little shi+ver

Lan Jue shook his head again with a laugh “Nope Let me tell you – it’s a psychic projection helmet”

Jun’er blinked “What’s that?”

With a grin, he explained “It’s the newest technology from here in the Northern Alliance My friend helped es froht in to your brain This will help you see in youraround you You can see your mommy and daddy!”
