Chapter 369: The Seed (2/2)
It took Ye Chong quite some time to craft the glider, but he made it anyway. It was not smooth ride, as Ye Chong had failed probably at least 30 times at certain more complicated parts during the process. He made it, he made a glider from scratch, with only his dagger.
Such perseverance! How I wish he would be using his talent on the mystic arts!
Exclaimed Huang Baiyi in his mind.
Ye Chong went to Huang Baiyi. ”We can leave here. This glider could take both of us. The success rate is about 70 to 85%,” briefed Ye Chong.
”Move, you could just leave me here. I don't want to go,” stated Huang Baiyi calmly.
The reply was uncalled for. It took a moment of silence before Ye Chong could comprehend the situation, ”Why?”
Huang Baiyi smiled slowly, ”I am old. I don't feel like moving anymore.”
”Are you sure?” Ye Chong frowned, since that did not sound like a legitimate reasoning.
”Remember the Xi Feng clan I had mentioned you before? I would like to ask something,” Huang Baiyi sat back slowly, ”Do you think if it was right for them to leave the space zone in the first place?” A random question from him.
Ye Chong thought for a while. ”Yes,” he replied confidently, as he recognized the strength of the Xi Feng clan in any of the galaxy, be it the 5 major galaxies or He Yue. They reached even the current space zone they were in. Anyhow, they were correct. Their decision was right. In Ye Chong's opinion, Mentalist Pilots were far more resourceful compared to Mentalist. The ancient force would shatter as the technological age stomped.
”I knew it,” muttered Huang Baiyi, his eyes were soulless. It took him a while to recover, ”Well, it seems like I was too rigid myself. It was only a matter that they took a different path.”
...
... ...
”I have taught you a lot these days.” His speech broke the silence out of the blue, ”As part of the exchange, I would like you to do me a favor. Of course the choice lies within yourself.”
Ye Chong pondered for a short while. ”State it,” he said.
”Try your best to eliminate the Abductor.” The calm tone was boiling inside, ”Well, if you could do it that is, since you are still fighting alone.”
”Why?” That was the second inquiry of confusion from Ye Chong today.
”I might not have the rights to judge if they took the correct path in the past, but I could to tolerate such immorality.”
”I cannot guarantee,” replied Ye Chong frankly. Although he could not perceive the point of Huang Baiyi's anger in such act by Xi Feng clan, he believed the absolute relationship between Xi Feng clan and the Abductor. He had seen quite a number of young Mentalist Pilots inside the Sanctuary back then, Zhu Ling was one of them. Probably those kids were from the outside, and likely they had forgotten how their parents looked...
But those were not his concern. The whole point was the relationship between Ye Chong and the Abductor. He could nod at Huang Baiyi's request, but he knew his strength well enough. The promise... sadly would happen at the tiniest probability he could imagine. Well, if he were given the chance to deliver the final blow, he would take it, no doubt.
”Mhm, you don't have to keep the promise till death.” Huang Baiyi gave a smile and looked certainly relieved.
”I'll be leaving.” Ye Chong turned away and moved to the peak, where the glider was placed earlier. Every preparation had been done. It was time to go.
”Have a safe journey.” The old man spoke softly, as he sat on the mossy ground, hunched. His brightened eyes set a silent farewell to the shrinking figure.
