I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1445 : 20.9 First Black Star - A General and An Official

With Zhi Yue, who calls himself as Wang Xiajieʼs servant appearing in Anjia Village, those from the village realized that maybe the former life of Wang Xiajie isnʼt as simple as they thought. Just the luxurious carriage, the pair of huge horses, the guards and his servant alone made it seem like he is just like how they portrayed those nobles in the mainland.

It wasnʼt just the villagers who thought so as well, even Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan had this kind of thoughts when they saw Zhi Yue. Now that they had been introduced to one another, Aunt Yan had started asking about Wang Xiajie to Zhi Yue.

Aunt Yan asked, ”Xiao Yue, you said youʼve been looking for Xiao Jie all this time, can you tell us what happened to him? We actually saw him at the cliff almost dead, if your Uncle Shun didnʼt see his figure lying on the ground on his way back from the mountain, he wouldnʼt have been saved.”

”Aunt Yan, it was actually because of his relatives. As you know, my lord is an orphan, but his family had left him a big inheritance. My lord had actually gone to this region looking for his wife, but those relatives of his had planned to kill him! Those bad men! Hmp! If only I knew of their plan from the beginning my lord wouldnʼt almost die.

Thank you for saving him, Uncle Shun!” said Zhi Yue as he bowed his head towards the kind uncle who would save a stranger like Wang Xiajie.

Uncle Shun said, ”Itʼs alright! Donʼt bow your head anymore.”

”How could those relatives be hateful!?” said Aunt Yan.

Zhi Yue said, ”Thatʼs right. I had wanted to kick all those bastards out of the house. But since the lord isnʼt planning on returning. I will just sell that mansion and build one in this village. Itʼs better to live here at the shrubs than in the capital.”

This servant looked at Wang Xiajie who was watching him act as he wished and no longer had interest to stop him. He didnʼt expect that Executioner Yue would become quite shameless after spending time with his wife.

Wang Xiajie asked, ”What is it?”

”My lord, your house is so small. Letʼs build a big house okay? Also, letʼs rebuild Uncle Shun and Aunt Yanʼs house. A house made of brick is better than a bamboo house,” said Zhi Yue as he learned from the couple that they live next door to his masterʼs hatched house.

Uncle Shun and Aunt Yanʼs heads were shaking when they heard the conversation between these youngsters.

”No. No. There is no need for that!”

Wang Xiajie said, ”Good idea! For now, how about you shop for food in the town before the sun falls? In this house, there isnʼt even a single grain left.”

”Okay, my lord! I will go right away!” said Zhi Yue as he was about to leave but was pulled back by Aunt Yan.

Aunt Yan said, ”Wait. I will go with you. With how young you look and how you dress you will get scammed in the market.” She then turned to look at Uncle Shun and said, ”What do you guys want to eat?”

Uncle Shun answered, ”Fish soup.”

Wang Xiajie responded, ”Braised Pork with boiled eggs. Aunt just buy anything you need, Yue will pay for everything.”

”Let it to me my lord,” said Zhi Yue as he escorted Aunt Yan towards the townʼs market as they rode on the carriage pulled by horses.

After Aunt Yan and Zhi Yue had left, Uncle Shun and Wang Xiajie remained in the house. They tended at the front and backyard of the coupleʼs place planting vegetables of all kinds. Uncle Shun actually wanted to help Wang Xiajie plant some vegetables in his house as well, but after learning that he wanted to renovate the place, he decided to do it later instead.

On the other hand, in the south region, the place facing the territory of the barbarians.

The south region is always full of war. At the location where most soldiers were stationed, a lone mansion stood in this place as if itʼs a gate that blocks all the barbarians from entering the territory which leads to the mainland. The mansion is huge and wide except for its towering walls which surround the territory under the capital.

This mansion doesnʼt evoke a luxury feeling, instead itʼs like a fortress that blocks everything beyond the territory when the humans leave. As for the leader that protects this place, he is from the Lou family. Itʼs the only family in the mainland that is said to have sworn their loyalty to Emperor Ye and not to the current Human Emperor that lives in the capital.

The old general of the Lou Clan was saved by Wang Xiajieʼs mother and it seems that his mother isnʼt a mortal.

It was because of this that the Lou Ducal Family is loyal to the former Human Emperor. Unfortunately, the original Wang Xiajie is a useless king. In the end, his throne was stolen and it was only thanks to the current great general that Wang Xiajie had a successful escape to the borderlands.

It was also for this reason that the current Human Emperor had sent the Lou Clan to the south far from the mainland.

As if there is someone who can make him abdicate it can only be this family who had strength and fame in the mainland. What made this current Human Emperor was that this clan had no interest in the throne, instead there is a duty bound by the loyalty of the old clan leader to serve the former emperor and isnʼt willing to serve him.

The old clan leader is no longer alive, but the tradition of serving and being loyal to Goddess Wang who saved their Lou Clan before they had become a ducal family in the capital. Now the current leader of the Lou is the youngest general that serves Wang Xiajie, General Lou Wuye. Right now, Lou Wuye is communicating with Yun Ming using the subsystem he possessed as the Chief warden.

His subsystem had a direct interaction with the subsystem Yun Ming possessed.

Their conversation:

[Wuye, Zhi Yue had contacted Zhi Yang, who is with me. It seems that Lord Ye is at the borderland which is much closer to your side. His identity this time is that he is the former emperor, whose throne was taken away by his ex-wife, the current Human Emperor.]

General Lou Wuye asked, ”…Is this current Human Emperor possibly Lord Heiʼs reincarnation?”

[We are still unsure. Itʼs just that his name sounds similar and they look a bit alike. But he doesnʼt give me a familiar feeling, the feeling I get from him is closer to the darkness in Lord Ye instead.]

”You mean you can feel the aura of abyss from him? You better stay away from him if possible. The Void has the ability to taint someoneʼs soul. There is no way he is still sane if he is tainted with that power,” warned the General of the South Region.

Yun Ming responded, [Okay, I understand. Itʼs just that… my current position makes it hard for me to stay away. The vessel I am in is one of the youngest officials from his side.]

”AʼMing, be careful. This is an S-Class world where all kinds of beings descend in this place and there might be a trap prepared for the lord in this world. We canʼt let anything happen to the Sovereign. It is just that above the mission I hope you take care of yourself more.” General Lou Wuye said.

Yun Ming can feel his loverʼs worry and smile, [I understand. You should also be careful. I have Zhi Yang with me, but you are alone. Keep vigilant at all times. I will try to find Prisoner Ye Yan and Prisoner Hei Suya in the palace instead.]

”I will be careful. See you soon,” said Lou Wuye.

He was being summoned back to the mainland by the Human Emperor as for the reason, it must be because he wanted to ask him where the former emperor was. Sadly, his vessel truly doesnʼt know as it was his people whom he ordered to send the former emperor away and they were told not to tell him anything.

As for these soldiers, they were all killed on the way and thatʼs why the current Human Emperor lost the trace for his ex-husband.

[See you soon.] Yun Ming responded before their connection was finally cut off.

Once the connection between them was cut off, the subsystem hovers around the Chief Warden asking for his next instructions. Unlike Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang, who were born with souls or the other systems in the God System, who were prisoners who were working as one to gain merits to be pardoned. The Subsystem the warden possessed are just machines connected to the Nether System and it didnʼt have soul.

[Asking the host what the subsystem needs to do next?]

Lou Wuye commanded, ”Enter standby mode. Alert me for contacts with System Yue, System Yang or AʼMingʼs subsystem.”

[Affirmative, Host! Entering Standby mode…]

After the subsystem had disappeared, Lou Wuye came out of his office where his subordinates had been waiting for him. They were about to return to the capital this time again. He can only leave his second-in-command to protect this fortress until he returns. His soldiers were also used to this, and as they swore their loyalty towards their general and would not be swayed by the imperial family.

Lou Wuye looked at his subordinates before walking in front and said, ”Letʼs depart.”

The soldiers behind him all saluted and said collectively, ”Yes, General!”

That day a group of soldiers headed by General Lou journeyed back to the capital. This news was known to the current Human Emperor and his side. It can be said that the royal faction except for the Human Emperor were tense about the return of the Great General to the capital.

Because this means, that his achievements from protecting their territories from the Barbarians mean that the fame of General Lou would once again be heard in the mainland making him more famous second only to the Human Emperor.

At the Imperial Palace. In the throne hall.

The young Human Emperor sat at his throne with a bored expression on his face. He is listening to the whines of his subordinates looking disinterested until he notices a young official, who was silent only looking at the event before him with an indifferent look. He recalled this young man as one of the most active officials in his group.

The Human Emperor actually includes this young man planning to make him his closest confidant, but upon joining the ground his ambition made him worse than these annoying old men. At least these old men knew their place, but this young man is different. He had become a joke in the eyes of the Human Emperor instead.

The Human Emperor silently scrutinized the young official who seemed to have noticed his gaze and lowered his head not meeting his eyes. This action seems to show fear towards him, but the Human Emperor felt that the young official did this action just to avoid him seeing through him.

As expected, the Human Emperor pointed out the young official. ”That young man at the back. Come over and let this emperor see you.”

This young official was Yun Ming meaning in the body of Official Xu Ming, who recently passed the scholar test in the palace and was approved by the Human Emperor himself. Yun Ming had already noticed that the Human Emperor had noticed him and he avoided his eyes to get his attention. In reality, this is his plan and he wanted to make the emperor approach him.

This is an opportunity he grabs himself so System Yang could observe this Human Emperor closer to check whether this Human Emperor is truly the reincarnation of Lord Hei in this world.

Yun Ming said with this thought and passed a message to System Yang, who was hiding inside of him.

ʼZhi Yang, I will leave it to you. I will need to enter the state as this real person.ʼ

[Understood. I will be careful. I need to use your eyes to check on him,] System Yang said.
