Chapter 790 - 785: I’m Salacia, and I’m Very Capable Too!
"Everyone, Lady Leia’s First Refinement mission has failed, I’m very sorry... Are you willing to continue our previous agreement?"
Seeing the atmosphere ease, Miss Salacia glanced gratefully at Bai Pu, took this opportunity, and stepped forward with an invitation:
"If you can help me complete the Second Refinement mission, the Silver Wind Clan will surely offer generous rewards!"
The trio of Rein exchanged glances.
"We still have more than ten days left in this Plane World. We indeed have no other goals... let’s continue to honor the agreement." Rein said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, I’m so grateful." Miss Salacia was very excited.
"We’re not here for the remuneration from the Silver Wind Clan. After all, you’re no longer considered the heir of the Silver Wind Clan..." Leia said bluntly, "We’re here for Bai... for this brother’s sake, we don’t want to betray his trust."
"Yes, still, thank you three."
Miss Salacia was not angry at all. Hearing the trio help "for Gangxin’s sake," a sweet feeling surged in Miss Salacia’s heart.
Uncle Heig walked up from the side.
"Miss Salacia, I’ve received a message of accountability from Miss Julian..."
Mr. Heig said helplessly, "I guess Saxson, to please Miss Julian, reported my unauthorized rescue of you after we parted ways. Miss Julian’s initial wording was still mild, but now it’s extraordinarily harsh."
Saying this, Uncle Heig shared the message Julian sent him, and Miss Salacia forwarded it to Bai Pu.
"The initial mild wording was because Julian hadn’t succeeded yet... she wanted to persuade you to turn back and stop helping Miss Salacia."
Bai Pu analyzed the reason, "Now the wording is harsh because Julian has already successfully been promoted to Major General... She now considers her foundation stable, and no longer needs to show politeness to you."
"That scoundrel is just like that, becoming arrogant once successful." Miss Salacia felt indignant for Uncle Heig.
Bai Pu continued, "I estimate the follow-up message Julian sent you orders you to lead your team to leave the Heart Demon World immediately."
Uncle Heig was shocked, "How did you know?"
Bai Pu said, "Julian wants to protect her victory. After being promoted to Major General, her goal in the Heart Demon World should be ’to prevent Salacia from being promoted to Major General’... Not only you, but other teams from the Silver Wind Clan should also be driven away by Julian, leaving only a few who truly pledge allegiance to Julian, and that team from the Muji Clan.
"Because ’preventing Salacia from being promoted’ is unjustifiable for the Silver Wind Clan team, you have no reason to stop Salacia, and might even, out of sentiment, help her with the task! This is something Julian cannot tolerate.
"After driving you variables away, Julian can lead the Muji Clan’s team to fully obstruct Salacia’s Second Refinement mission!"
Bai Pu’s analysis made a group of Awakened nod frequently, while Dongbo Chengzhi, who knew nothing about this, showed no interest and had long hidden in a corner to gain enlightenment from White Dragon Fang.
"The crucial question is, Mr. Heig, what do you think?" Bai Pu asked.
Uncle Heig hesitated a bit.
Miss Salacia spoke, "Uncle Heig, if you want to leave, I won’t force you. But even if you go back now, you’ve already angered Julian, that scoundrel won’t spare you. There’s even a chance the blame for the Saxon Squad’s destruction will fall on your shoulders!"
Uncle Heig was moved and nodded instinctively.
Miss Salacia continued, "Uncle Heig, now I’m surrounded by so many powerhouses... Do you really think my Second Refinement mission is hopeless?"
Uncle Heig looked towards Bai Pu.
Although he hadn’t seen Bai Pu break Emperor Qing’s barrier with his own eyes, the dramatic changes in the Corruption Forest were all caused by this man before him, how could Uncle Heig not know?
Also, the way he navigated through Miasma Spring and Palace of Roots, deftly maneuvering amidst the pursuit of demons and enemy Awakened powerhouses, finally completing the Golden Side Task perfectly...
Even Leia’s Major General promotion mission almost succeeded in a speed contest.
These things all reflected one thing...
The man before him, not well-known, has incredibly strong exploration abilities in the Spirit Realm, or what others might call chaos-causing abilities.
With his help, Miss Salacia’s Second Refinement mission truly has the potential for success...
And once Miss Salacia is promoted to Second Refinement Major General, she will again surpass First Refinement Major General Julian.
Another key point is what Miss Salacia reminded, Uncle Heig has already offended Julian, even if he listens to her now and leaves the Heart Demon World, it won’t earn him any favor from her.
Instead, he might as well take a bet on Miss Salacia!
"Miss Salacia, I’ve watched you grow up. The sentiment between us isn’t something Julian can compare with! This time your Second Refinement promotion mission, no matter what, I’ll give my utmost help, even if it ultimately fails, we’ll bear Julian’s reckoning together, it won’t matter!"
Miss Salacia’s eyes quickly welled up with tears:
"Uncle Heig!"
Such a touching scene.
Bai Pu shook his head, thinking to himself: Miss Salacia certainly lives up to once being the heir of the Silver Wind Clan, she truly has some skills.
Just persuading Uncle Heig, considering the problem entirely from his standpoint showed Miss Salacia’s excellent eloquence. Now displaying "sincere emotion" made Bai Pu uncertain whether she was acting genuinely or was truly sincere.
Little did Bai Pu know, Miss Salacia was currently performing beyond her level.
Miss Salacia watched Uncle Heig’s back with a sense of pride:
Am I showing my capable side in front of Gangxin? Yes... I’m Salacia with abilities too!
...
At the same time, Palace of Roots.
Two demon generals who arrived late shivered under Emperor Qing Phantom’s intense spiritual pressure.
"Useless! Played by Gangxin like fools, your stupidity disgraces me... Corruption Forest has endured unimaginable losses because of you!"
Withered Wood and Ghost Vine generals dared only to kneel and accept blame.
Bron said, "Lord Emperor Qing, the urgent task now is to find Gangxin. The Underworld is our home turf, as long as we find the opponent, engaging directly... we’re still advantageous! If Lord Emperor Qing could personally take action..."
"Who are you? Shut up!" Emperor Qing Phantom snorted.
Bron’s face changed, anger surged within his heart.
But he forcibly pressed down the fury, quickly realizing: His relationship with Emperor Qing is very cold, goodwill almost equates to that of strangers! Originally planned to take Dongbo Cheng’s head as an initiation, it didn’t succeed due to Gangxin’s interference.
Being treated coldly by Emperor Qing is understandable.
In the end, Bron, accustomed to high prestige treatment before many Plane World natives, faced a high difficulty world without foundation unexpectedly, finding it hard to adjust mentally.
