Chapter 417: Preamble (2/2)

This created anxiety for other local forces. For second tier aristocratic families like the Shi Family, it was very important news. Currently, they were amassing power, and needed a certain period of peace to adjust to their size. Once the war amongst the Three Aristocratic Families began, the He Yue Galaxy would be plunged into a state of chaos, and the Shi Family must do its best to survive the turmoil.

Just what was the Three Aristocratic Families were up to? No one had an answer to that question.

”Sister Bing, don't worry too much. Brother Ye will be fine,” the little boy looked up at Rui Bing and offered some words of comfort. Around him were dozens of huge men, looking around anxiously as if expecting an enemy. No one expected the Young Master to go to the planet of Risserd. Now, almost the entire force of the Xue Lai Clan on that planet was converging onto his location.

When Ye Chong was separated from them, they failed to find him. Left with no other choice, the young boy asked for assistance from the Clan's forces on Dankwood planet. Still, there was no news of Ye Chong. With the upcoming Congregation, the largest event in the entire free space zone that was organized every four years, they believed that Ye Chong might just show himself there. It seemed like a plausible idea. After leaving enough men to continue the search, the young boy and his company headed for Risserd. They never would have expected Ye Chong to leave Dankwood planet for the planet of Guang Hua.

In Flying Moon City, on Risserd. As the Congregation drew near, the number of strong individuals sharply increased in the vicinity. Where Jie Experts were rarely seen in other places, they were noticeable everywhere here. It was no wonder that the young boy's bodyguards were all nervous.

Using mechs here in the open would be too conspicuous, but without mechs, they were helplessly weak compared to the combat experts around them. Moreover, the Youngest Young Master had always been eager to make trouble, thoroughly enjoying himself in the process.

Looking at the curious eyes of their Youngest Young Master, the bodyguards could not help but feel dread for their future. Finally, Xua Lai Clan's Risserd force leader could not stand it anymore, and said, ”Youngest Young Master, let us return home for now. It's better if we lay low for now. Master Siva will be here in three days. Until then, your safety …”

”Lil' Siva is coming?” The young boy was surprised, and did not welcome the news. He mumbled, ”That guy, he's just so boring.” Hearing the Youngest Young Master referring to Siva as Lil' Siva made the other bodyguards' expressions turned uncomfortable. Siva was the strongest of the Clan, a mysterious character to most of the Clan's members. There were numerous legends about him, but no one had seemed to have seen his face.

It was strange to hear Xue Clai Clan's Number One being referred to like a boy by another seven-year old boy. However, despite their odd expressions, none of them laughed. Perhaps the Youngest Young Master was the only member of the Xue Lai Clan who dared to use the nickname ”Lil' Siva”.

Rui Bing was lost in thought, and did not seem to notice her surroundings. Her usual clear expression was now clouded in misery. After being separated from Ye Chong, she had been in a poor mood. Every time she thought of the numerous enemies that he faced, her heart ached; every time she recalled him getting further and further away from her, her heard bled. Until now, there was still no news of him.

Seeing Rui Bing's worried face, a flash of concern appeared in the young boy's eyes. Suddenly, he thought of something, and tugged at Rui Bing's sleeve and said, ”Sister Bing, I've an idea.”

Rui Bing refocused herself. ”What idea?” The young boy was mischievous, but smart. Perhaps he really had something useful.

”Think about it, Sister Bin. The Congregation is attended by all strong individuals in the free space zone. Besides, I think that the names of those ranked in the first 10 will be spread to every planet. If Sister Bing can make it into the first 10, your name will be known throughout the entire free space zone.” The young boy was already imagining it in his head as he said this.

Rui Bing could not help but feel disappointed. She shook her head and plainly said, ”I have not been interested in those things since a long time ago.”

”No, not that,” the young boy quickly explained, ”If your name is known in the entire free space zone, then Brother Ye will surely know about it, right? If Brother Ye knows that Sister Bing is on Risserd, he will surely find a way to get here as soon as possible. Then you'll be able to see each other again.”

Rui Bing jolted in realization, and froze in thought. After a long moment, she acknowledged his point softly. Her eyes cleared up until she looked like her usual self. Her eyes reflected an immovable determination.

No one would have guessed that Ye Chong was also heading towards planet Risserd right then.

In fact, Ye Chong was not the only one heading towards Risserd ...
