Chapter 1654: The Threat That The Soul-controlling Tablet Sensed

After agreeing to work together with Yang Ling, Lin Huang sent him back to the God Territory within him.

Unlike before when he had casually put Yang Ling back into the God Territory, this time, Lin Huang sent Yang Ling directly to the planet where Lin Xin and Hong Zhuang were. He even sent him directly to the courtyard entrance where Hong Zhuang was.

When Yang Ling opened the door and emerged before Hong Zhuang, she was utterly stunned.

She stared in Yang Ling’s direction and stood in a daze for a good while before she rubbed her eyes. She thought she was seeing an illusion.

When she opened her eyes again, Yang Ling had already come over to stand right before her.

Hong Zhuang could not control the tears from welling up in her eyes. “I thought you were truly dead this time…”

“I definitely almost died.” Yang Ling pulled Hong Zhuang into his arms, smiling.

Hong Zhuang hugged Yang Ling tightly as if she were afraid that he would disappear again. Her tears kept flowing as if a dam had broken.

The two of them did not say anything else. They remained where they were, holding onto each other, and stayed thus for a long time.

When Hong Zhuang finally stopped crying, she wiped away her tears and finally let go of Yang Ling.

He reached out and brushed away the tear stains on her face. “It must have been hard on you all this while.”

“I’m alright.” Hong Zhuang shook her head then asked curiously, “How did you manage to escape?”

“I didn’t escape at all,” Yang Ling explained with a smile, “Lin Huang killed Spy…”

Yang Ling very quickly related the events that had unfolded later.

Lin Huang had no idea what was going on in his inner world. After sending Yang Ling into the God Territory within him, he began busying himself with his own affairs.

“The Goldfingers I have now are Xiao Hei, the Soul-controlling Tablet, the Eternity Fire (Qi Muxiong), Yin Yin (Great Heaven), the Gate of All Realms (Mr. Gate), the Tiny Golden Man (Black Mountain), and the Brain of the Soul (Babble), as well as these two extra ones…” In truth, strictly speaking, Yang Ling was the only traveler that Lin Huang knew very well.

Although Lin Xin had a Goldfinger, the Emperor’s Heart, Lin Huang had not spoken with her at all regarding the matter of travelers—he had kept this from her all along.

However, he felt that it was probably time they talked about it now.

Lin Huang greeted Lin Xin with his consciousness via voice transmission, then teleported her out of his God Territory.

Lin Xin was delighted to finally meet her brother face to face again after not seeing him for such a long time.

“Come sit down, silly girl.” Lin Huang poured Lin Xin a cup of tea as he spoke.

He was thinking of how to bring the matter up.

Lin Xin sat down obediently. Noticing the tense expression on Lin Huang’s face, her initial happiness was now marred by a touch of anxiety.

“Big Brother, has something happened?”

Lin Huang fell silent for a moment, then looked straight at her and said, “Emperor’s Heart, please come out.”

“What…” Lin Xin was shocked when she heard this. She had never expected Lin Huang to find out her secret—that she had a Goldfinger. Not only that, he knew its name.

Just as Lin Xin was somewhat at a loss, a three-dimensional projection shone from the communication ring on her finger.

It was a lady who looked almost exactly like Lin Xin. Only two things were different—her hair was purple, and her eyes were golden.

Lin Huang was slightly taken aback when he saw what the Emperor’s Heart projected. He knew that this was how Lin Xin had looked in her past life.

Since the Emperor’s Heart had appeared in this form, it clearly had not told Lin Xin about her past life.

“Is anything the matter?” The Emperor’s Heart looked at Lin Huang in a rather unfriendly manner.

Before it had acknowledged Lin Xin as its owner, it had come to an agreement with Lin Huang. It would keep his identity as a traveler secret, and Lin Huang would keep the Emperor’s Heart’s past a secret from Lin Xin.

However, now that Lin Huang had suddenly summoned it like this, it suspected that Lin Huang might be intending to break their agreement.

“Both of you know each other?” Lin Xin’s face was full of confusion.

Initially, she thought that her possession of this Goldfinger—the Emperor’s Heart—was a secret from her brother. She had never expected that her brother seemed to know her Goldfinger.

“I’ve seen it a few times before you claimed ownership of it,” Lin Huang explained immediately. He still did not wish the Emperor’s Heart to expose his identity as a traveler.

After all, his soul had traveled into another body, so theoretically, he was not Lin Xin’s brother.

He was not sure how Lin Xin would react if she found out about that.

“We’ve only met two or three times, so we’re not well-acquainted.” Emperor’s Heart nodded in agreement with Lin Huang.
