Chapter 1052 A Door to a New World (2/2)

As Han Sen continued to cook, Xie Qing King developed a fondness for the chips he had just consumed.

A door to a new world had opened before Xie Qing King.

Han Sen, in the meantime, occupied his mind with a plan of attack for how he'd deal with Holy-Sword Shelter. For as long as that place remained active and controlled by Holy-Sword Emperor, he would not feel safe.

Suddenly, Ji Yanran called Han Sen.

”When are you coming back?” Han Sen asked her.

And to this, Ji Yanran said, ”I don't think I can. Not for a long while, leastways. Our discussions with the shura are still ongoing, and we've just been talking about investigating a bunch of new crystallizer ruins that have been discovered.”

”You're co-operating with the shura?” Han Sen was quite shocked to hear this. The truce was still active, but he had thought that the tensions were still quite high. He never would have thought that relations with the shura would have advanced enough to allow a joint archaeology project with them.

But Ji Yanran explained, ”In some places, the aid of the shura is imperative. We need them.”

”But you are only just an evolver; why are you leading?” Han Sen frowned.

”They picked me.” Ji Yanran smiled and then went on to say, ”To them, I'm pretty much a princess. They sent a royal shura prince to escort me, so it's not as if I could have declined their request.”

”There's a royal shura with you?” Han Sen's face became dour.

”Don't worry. Human surpassers are also coming with me,” Ji Yanran said, to alleviate his concerns.

”I'm coming with you,” Han Sen swiftly said.

But Ji Yanran responded, ”The people going with me have opened eight of their gene locks. And that aside, only sixteen people can go. There'll be eight humans and eight shuras.”

”I don't care. I'm coming with you.”

Ji Yanran wished to continue their talk, but Han Sen hung up. He then went to contact Ji Ruozhen.

”Why are you letting your daughter go to a place so dangerous?!” Han Sen said, his voice clearly upset.

”This is an important matter of the Alliance, and it is a privilege for my daughter to do this,” Ji Ruozhen explained.

”She is my wife, too, remember? Shouldn't I have a say in this?” Han Sen did not wait for a response, and immediately went on to say, ”If you want her to go so badly, I'm going with her.”

”Eight people is the max. I'm sorry, but we already have the best available people going,” Ji Ruozhen said with a frown.

”You can either let me go, or I take her away from there.” Han Sen was firm in his stance on the matter.
