1195 Sea Territory (2/2)
After Desolate had thrown Shang Ying Yue out of the planet, she had traveled through rough and bumpy space passages of other star areas to return to Cloudy Water Star in Fantasy Mist Star Area.
She briefed them on what had happened in Desolate and then declared that she wanted to cultivate in seclusion. She wanted to use the Original Incipient Grade materials that she had harvested to cultivate here. She was taking in the power of the Icy Soul Cold Crystal and the Lightning Balls in her hands.
An Liya was very surprised when she heard that her daughter wanted to cultivate ascetically. After asking her, she knew that Shang Ying Yue wished to break through to Incipient God Realm.
An Liya was so happy. She gathered all the power of the family and asked the experts to come and guard the place.
Shusia, Shang Ying Yue's grandmother wasn't in Cloudy Water Star. However, she had dropped off her work in the headquarters of Drifting Fire to come here and protect her granddaughter.
As her father, Shang Chen was also dragged here by An Liya. The family members gathered in this secret icy chamber to protect Shang Ying Yue. They hoped that she could break to Incipient God Realm smoothly.
”Is she alright?” An Liya had a high updo hair bun, which added to her elegant, orchid-like bearings. She was frowning and she couldn't help but ask worriedly. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Shang Ying Yue.
”Little Chen, you've cultivated Fate power Upanishad. Could you predict something?” Shusia squinted. She thrust her ice jade staff into the snowy ground, squeezing and crushing anxiously.
”Dad, my sister will be alright, right?” Shang Qiu also asked.
Breaking through to Incipient God Realm from Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm was a struggling battle that had a ninety percent rate of failure. Many had fallen in this step. Their soul altars shattered altogether.
It was hard for her family to not be tense. They knew that Shang Ying Yue was amazingly gifted and that she had a bigger chance to break through since she had been trained in Desolate. However, they were still very worried.
If she failed, her body would explode. It was the better case. In the worst case, her soul altar could burn into ashes.
They had to be very careful.
As his wife, son, and mother in law were looking at him and waiting for his answer, Shang Chen forced a smile, ”I've told you many times. I can't see the fate of the ones who are close to me. I can't predict what's going to happen. Please don't ask me.”
These three had asked him the same question several hundred times. Although Shang Chen had a tough mind, he couldn't endure it.
An Liya, Shang Qiu, and Shusia looked discontented. They rolled their eyes at Shang Chen when An Liya hissed, ”You useless old man. You can predict people's fates directly, but you can't know how your daughter will be. What's good for you to cultivate such a trash power Upanishad...”
Listening to his wife nagging, Shang Chen only gave a forced smile, pretending that he didn't hear anything. He squinted his eyes and waited in silence.
”After Little Yue came home, she looked different. When she mentioned that kid Shi Yan, she sounded a little awkward...” An Liya suddenly whispered.
Grannie Shusia squinted, her eyes searching Shang Chen. ”Hey, Little Chen, how long will you continue to hide the story of that kid? You don't even want to tell your own family about that? Who is he? What's his identity?”
As she came late, she didn't have the chance to listen to the secrets of the ancient continent that Shang Ying Yue had told the others. Only Shang Chen and An Liya knew them, but An Liya didn't know the details. This grannie didn't know Shi Yan well.
”Hmm...” Shang Chen gave them another forced smile. He always felt helpless when he faced his family. ”For the time being, I can't provide more information. Guys, give me more time. After I've solved all the things, I will tell you. It's not a good thing for you guys to know many stories. It could bring trouble to the entire Drifting Fire.”
Listening to him, An Liya, Shang Qiu, and Shusia discolored in fright.
”Is that kid's identity really terrifying?” Shusia's wrinkled face quivered. She waved her hand, her eyes anxious. ”Then say nothing. My heart's not good. I can't bear a big surprise.”
As they were a family, they knew that Shang Chen would never harm them. They also knew the cause of the mysterious death of the expert who was greedy for their fortune. They knew Shang Chen had secrets, which were extremely terrifying. They understood that Shang Chan wanted good things for them, so they didn't ask further.
”It's not the right time. When the right time comes, I will tell you the details,” said Shang Chen.
”Then tell me. If our Little Yue has something with that kid, will it be good or bad for her?” asked An Liya earnestly.
Shang Chen frowned worriedly. He pondered for a while and then said, ”If that kid can succeed, it will be our Little Yue's blessings and our family's blessings. But if he fails, it will be the biggest disaster. We will fall into disaster altogether. Sigh, I'm having a headache.”
Swoosh!
All of a sudden, a dazzling silver light emitted from a drawing on the wall of the secret chamber and entered Shang Chen's body.
Shang Chen jolted up. He closed his eyes to sense and then said, ”I'm so sorry. I can't wait for Little Yue. I have to go now.”
”Why? What's more important than your daughter?!?” An Liya rolled her eyes.
”That kid has returned from Desolate. He sent me messages. It's really critical. I have to go now.” Shang Chen sighed begrudgingly. He bowed to his wife and gave her a forced smile before leaving quietly.
