Chapter 1854 Walking Out of the Hall (2/2)

”Earlier, you two were afraid to step inside. Stop pretending about this nonsense.” The Marquise lifted his lip.

”Let them stay,” Black Steel said. Then, he signaled for the rest of the team to depart. Then, he murmured to Xie Qing King, ”Tell Han Sen that I'm sorry. I will leave much of the lotus in the base.”

”Okay.” Xie Qing King affirmed he would.

When Captain Wood took the others to the place's exit, Xie Qing King spoke again. He said, ”Is Han Sen really going to be fine?”

”I thought you were confident he would be.” Gu Qingcheng looked at the door before them and spoke carelessly.

”I am, but that Skygod is a dodgy fellow. I am afraid Han Sen will walk out as an old man.” Xie Qing King slumped his shoulders.

Gu Qingcheng understood what he was getting at, but she did not respond to him.

A lot of time passed, and after an hour, the purple-bronze door opened. Han Sen came out alongside Little Silver.

Han Sen had not become an old man, and he was as young as he had been when he first entered the hall. He had not been injured, either.

Little Silver was fine, too. And he had his old silver fur that was radiant and shiny.

”Did you make a wish?” Gu Qingcheng spoke to Han Sen, looking real dim.

Han Sen shook his head and pulled out a box. He smiled and said, ”The item Skygod wanted is still in here. Even if I make a wish, he won't listen.”

”Why would he let you go unharmed, if you didn't make one?” Xie Qing King asked with much curiosity.

”I was fine the whole time. Him speeding up time was merely an illusion.” Han Sen smiled.

”It was an illusion? That means he wasn't real, and all his power was merely for show?” Xie Qing King said.

”He doesn't have all the powers he pretended to have, but at least his space powers were legit. Even though he is not really all-powerful, he is still at a deified level. Even if we have to fight him eventually, we cannot deal with him now.” Han Sen shook his head.

”Why did he not kill you and just take the feather?” Xie Qing King could not believe that things had worked out this way.

Han Sen did not answer Xie Qing King, though. He just looked at Gu Qingcheng and asked, ”That Sun Skygod, was he the same god as the one you met?”

Gu Qingcheng shook her head. ”I don't think so. This one gave me a completely different feeling to the one I previously met. That being said, there appears to be a thread connecting them somehow. Maybe. I can't quite put my finger on it.”

”Maybe they are both of the same kind? They must both have a limitation of some sort. They cannot just kill people.” Han Sen did not continue with that train of questions, though. He just looked around and asked, ”Captain Wood and the others have left?”

”As soon as the door shut, they took their leave. Black Steel told us he would leave some of the lotus roots for us at the base,” Xie Qing King answered.

”I am afraid they might not even be able to leave the palace. As far as I know, those who make wishes don't meet a fond fate. Let's go. I hope we can catch up with them.” Han Sen took off power walking.

”I don't understand! How did you know all that was an illusion?” Gu Qingcheng asked, matching Han Sen's speed. She had no idea it was all a trick.

Han Sen did not answer. He patted his shoulder and Little Invisible revealed itself. Han Sen smiled. ”If that power was real, he should have aged, too.”
