33 Mutual Trus (1/2)

The next day, almost all the families of the Golden Province were present at the 'Star Wars School'. Today would be the funeral day for those who died in the Punishment Department.

People went from one place to another on the premises of the 'Star Wars School'. The cries and moans of those who have lost their loved ones have spread everywhere.

At the Medical Department, Zao Tian had just woken up. Slowly, Zao Tian opened his eyes as he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

”Gold ... you son of a bitch! Why did you try to kill me?” Zao Tian raged.

”I? Try to kill you? Humph ... If I wanted you dead, you'd already be in a pit now! ”Gold's response was dry and indifferent.

Before Zao Tian refuted Gold or any other questioning, Zao Tian looked to the side and saw that Ye Zuo was standing next to him.

Before Zao Tian said anything, Ye Zuo said:

”Junior, good thing you woke up! Your health is stable, so I have some questions to ask you ... ”

Zao Tian's heart leapt for a moment. He knew that after seeing so many unexplained things happen to Zao Tian, ​​Ye Zuo definitely wanted some answers.

”First ... Who are you? Where are you from? And ... What happened in the Punishment Department? Why only you left alive from there? ”Ye Zuo turned out one question after another.

Zao Tian was a bit reluctant, as much as he trusted Ye Zuo, he did not know whether or not to answer those questions. Especially because if he were sincere at all, maybe Ye Zuo would not understand and see him as an enemy.

Seeing the reluctance of Zao Tian, ​​Ye Zuo decided to take action and said nervously: ”Junior, punch! What happened in the Department of Punishment? ”

Zao Tian felt an enormous pressure of spiritual energy. Even the calm Zao Tian felt nervous when he felt the fury of Ye Zuo. Zao Tian stammered and tried to say something. Facing the current situation, Zao Tian knew that if he lied, he would die.

”Elder ... Ye ... Ye Zuo, I ... I really ... I do not know what happened ... Down there. I ... I was meditating and ... So ... I felt something piercing my chest. I really ... did not see or hear anything. ”Zao Tian responded through stammering.

Ye Zuo realized that Zao Tian was nervous, but he felt no falsehood in Zao Tian's words. He kept the same tone and kept asking, ”What about the other questions? Answer quickly!”

Zao Tian became even more nervous, but he kept answering: ”Elder ... I am ... Really ... Someone with no funds ... I was born in a village of workers ... The village Eight. I'm not an enemy ... I ... just want to train and ... get protection from 'Star Wars School' ... To my village. I'm not an enemy! ”

Ye Zuo frowned and countered: ”Village Eight? Do not lie to me! People in the village of workers do not have Spiritual Veins! Especially rare spiritual veins like yours. ”

Zao Tian: ”Elder, I'm sorry ... But I can only explain a part of it to you. What I can tell you ... It is that I had an unexpected encounter, with a very powerful man, this man ... He granted me my Spiritual Veins ... ”

Ye Zuo analyzed every response of Zao Tian, ​​but he still could not perceive any falsehood in them. Ye Zuo calmed down and walked to a window, as he seemed to contemplate something, Ye Zuo began to speak: ”Junior, I think you're not lying. But you're still hiding some things from me. I'll tell you a story and after that ... I hope your confidence in me increases ... ”

”Thirty years ago, I had reached a very high level of cultivation on the Andros continent. I was not even one of the strongest men on the continent, but I had a lot of power when compared to other people. Constantly I received invitations to join the most varied armies of the Andros continent. I lived rejecting these invitations and followed my life as a lone wolf ... ”

”...” Zao Tian listened intently. Despite knowing that Ye Zuo was a strong person, he never imagined that he was so powerful. Very few people could claim that they were above almost a whole continent.

Ye Zuo continued: ”One day ... As I struggled with a very strong Demon Beast, and I was almost killing that beast ... A man appeared. This man killed that beast instantly, only with the pressure of his aura. ”

”I've never seen anything like that before. The power of that man was something that I, who considered me very strong on the continent, had no idea that it could exist. After finishing with that Demon Beast, the man looked at me and whispered to one of the seven men who accompanied him: ”This insect is not so bad!”

”Those words, which any one would see as an offense, caused the seven men to be astonished and to come to me. Then a man who introduced himself as Yang Feng held out his hand and gave me an invitation ... An invitation to become an Imperial Guard. ”

”What?” Zao Tian gave an automatic shriek, Ye Zuo's words made his heart sway sharply. How did someone like Ye Zuo end up in the small Golden Province, and yet, how does this person live as a simple Elder of a school?

Ye Zuo was not shaken by the cry of Zao Tian and went on: ”The Imperial Guard was the top of everything in the Andros continent. Any grower would like to belong to it. My name was changed to 'Yang Zai', and I became one of the most important Imperial Guards in the entire Yangtze, we were called 'Eight Imperial Guardians'. I belonged to this elite team for thirteen years and have always been one of the most faithful followers of Emperor Yang Hao. But ... One day, on one of our missions, the Emperor gave us an order ... ”Ye Zuo's tone changed and he began to carry a great regret in his voice.

”We were in a village and we had just eliminated a major threat to the continent. We were happy and celebrated another victory. That's when we heard a rumble of thunder ... The Emperor's face, which was always blank, changed drastically ... He began to scream and gave us orders ... To kill all the villagers. I was reluctant, but the other seven Guardians seemed to be accustomed to it. The seven Guardians and the imperial army advanced and coldly killed all the people of the village, not even some demonic beasts were spared. ”

”...” Zao Tian's hand shook as he tightened his grip. According to Ye Zuo's account, the Emperor had ordered a massacre for no plausible reason.

”The days passed, but the atrocities that were committed in the village did not disappear from my mind. I constantly wondered if we were actually doing the right thing. So I made a decision and decided to defect from the Imperial Guard. I definitely could not follow Emperor Yang Hao. ”

”For three years I was hunted by the other seven Guardians. I had no quiet time, whenever I escaped from one, another was already in pursuit of me. During my last escape, I tried to argue with Yang Feng and explain my reasons. But he was irreducible and the penalty for deserters was death. Yang Feng and I fought an intense battle, and in the end ... We were both wounded. With the wounds I had, it would be impossible to keep escaping the other six Guardians ... ”

”In the end, in a way, I was saved by the Emperor. That's because he issued an order, so that all the imperial army including the seven Guardians, would reunite. ”

”Thanks to that, I managed to escape far and entered the 'Star Wars School'. The Elders and the director welcomed me and gave me the title of Elder. Since then, I have lived far from the spotlight and am a modest Elder from the 'Star Wars School'. ”

The story of Ye Zuo made Zao Tian stand in shock. Despite the power the 'Star Wars School' possessed in the Golden Province, Zao Tian would never have imagined that a person like Ye Zuo would be hiding while disguising himself as Elder.

Ye Zuo turned and looked at Zao Tian. With a friendlier tone and a small smile on his face, he said, ”Junior, I just told you the story of my life. This is something no one, not even the director of the 'Star Wars School' knows. So I hope this can get you to start trusting me. ”

Zao Tian felt extremely ill, the fact that he hid some things from Ye Zuo made him think of horrible things himself. The gesture of Ye Zuo, broke any resistance or mistrust that Zao Tian had. Zao Tian thought for a few seconds and decided to open his mouth:

”Elder, thank you for trusting me. The gesture of the Lord will not be one-sided. I will also tell about myself and the secrets that surround me. Just ... I can not reveal much about the events that pertain to my Spiritual Veins and how I got them. But any other question you ask ... I will respond with total sincerity. ”Zao Tian said with the deepest respect.

Ye Zuo did not like Zao Tian's imposing question restrictions, but he realized that it would be impossible to get the answers to the questions he did not want to ask.

Ye Zuo shook his head in approval and decided to ask the first questions: ”Junior, where does your movement technique come from? Why could not the Blue Crystal of Spiritual Energy calculate its elemental affinity? ”

Zao Tian was surprised, as Ye Zuo's questions hit the target exactly. The two questions involved one of the greatest mysteries about Zao Tian. But as he promised to respond truthfully, Zao Tian began: ”Elder, the movement technique I cultivate is the 'Fast Star'. It was given to me by the benefactor who gave me these Spiritual Veins. As for the second question ... I will answer, but I ask you to believe me and not see me as a liar. The reason the Blue Crystal Of Spiritual Energy could not calculate my elemental affinity ... It is because I possess affinity with the element of light and probably, I must be the only one in the world who possesses such affinity. During the creation of the Blue Crystal Of Spiritual Energy, all kinds of pure elements should be injected into it and as there was no one else in the world who had a pure relation to the light ... The crystal could not define my affinity. He simply detected that I possessed one, but could not tell what it was, and the degree of affinity I possessed. ”

Zao Tian's words left Ye Zuo perplexed. What Zao Tian had just said could shock the whole world. Even though he had been an Emperor's Guardian for so many years, Ye Zuo had never heard of anyone possessing such elemental affinity.
