Chapter 1676 – Huo Zaiwei’s Determination
Wu Quan opened his mouth but didn’t say anything, lowering his head into silence.
In his mind, the scene of Wu Old Dog and a group of corpses sitting under a plastic shed in the pouring rain while drinking wine and bursting into tears surfaced when he was at the Lenten Institute……. After the torrential rain stopped that day, they were clad in black robes and rushed to the front line without any hesitation.
At one time, he couldn’t understand the behavior of Wu Old Dog and the [Spirit Medium] at all, but he had followed Lin Qiye for so long that he seemed to be able to understand it somewhat now.
He was willing to use his ability to guard the world, but if he called it his long-cherished wish, it would be a little inappropriate …… In his heart, there was one thing that was more important than guarding the world.
When he was young and scribbled that black umbrella on the wall, in his heart, he already had a goal worth chasing for the rest of his life.
The person under the umbrella, that was truly his long-cherished dream.
Wu Quan doesn’t want to deceive Huo Zai Diao, after hesitating for a moment, he still speaks truthfully:
”Protect one person first, and if I have the strength to spare, then I will protect the world.”
Hearing this answer, Huo Zaiwei’s eyes, could not hide a flash of disappointment ……
He slowly stood up from the carriage, a black and gold marquis uniform, fluttering in the wind, he glanced at Wu Quan who had his head bowed, and turned to walk into the carriage.
With Huo’s departure, Wu Quan’s sweaty palms loosened, and a touch of self-deprecating bitterness surfaced on his face.
Sure enough, he couldn’t get Huo Zaiwei’s approval like this at all.
Seeing this, the others also sighed regretfully.
Just then, Huo Zaiwei’s voice came out from the carriage:
”From today onwards, you and Yan Zhong switch carriages and come to sit with this marquis …… Although your time is short, this marquis will try to teach you as much as possible.”
The moment this voice came out, Wu Quan, who was about to leave, froze, and then surprise appeared on his face!
”Thank you, Master!”
”This marquis is not your master, nor has he ever accepted you as a disciple …… You are still the same as usual, just call the marquis.”
”Many thanks Marquis.”
Although he is not a master and disciple, Huo Zaiwei’s promise to teach him [Domination of the Emperor] is enough, Wu Quan bowed deeply to that carriage, his heart already filled with gratitude.
Afterwards, Zhan Yuwu and the others began to prepare the meal, since the horses hadn’t awakened yet, they took this opportunity to eat something first to save time for the journey afterward.
”Marquis, your meal is ready.” Zhan Yuwu walked up to the carriage with a dried food and spoke respectfully.
”This Marquis is not hungry yet.” Huo Zaiwei’s voice comes out from within the carriage.
”This …… marquis, after we hit the road in a bit, we won’t have time to eat.”
”This marquis said …… it.”
”Give it to me.”
Before Huo’s words fell, Lin Qiye on the side took the dry food in Zhan Yuwu’s hand and gave him a look, and the latter hesitated for a moment before still nodding his head and leaving.
Lin Qiye took this dry food, lifted the carriage curtain, and stepped inside.
Inside the empty carriage, Huo Daizi was sitting alone in the center, one hand covering the front of his mouth, coughing silently, wisps of blood flowing down from his fingers, dripping onto the floor of the carriage.
Lin Qiye looked at that pale face with a somewhat complicated expression.
He took out the silk paper he had prepared long ago from his sleeve and handed it to Huo Zaiwei, who glanced at him and reached out to take it.
”When did you …… find out?” Huo Daizi wiped away the blood with the silk paper and spoke hoarsely.
”My nose is very smart, when you just hid in the bushes and vomited blood, I smelled the blood.” Lin Qiye sat down beside him, “How much time do you have left?”
”At most, three months left.”
”Three months? ……”
Lin Qiye sighed, “That’s why you agreed to teach Wu Quan?”
”This marquis is already dying …… If I can teach that child my life’s work before then, perhaps he can go farther than me.” Huo Zaiwei paused for a moment, “Although his long term wishes are different from this marquis ……, this marquis can’t force everyone to become this marquis, can he?”
Lin Qiye gave him a deep look, “A champion marquis who exhausts his mind and heart, it’s hard to find another one in this world.”
Huo Zaiwei slowly closes his eyes and does not speak.
”This matter, aren’t you going to let them know?”
”Not yet.” Huo Daizi shook his head, “The Zhen Evil Division has just been established, their entire faith is tied to this marquis alone, if they know that this marquis does not have much time left, the hearts of the people, will be scattered.”
”Indeed.”
Lin Qiye sighed, those people in the Zhen Evil Division were screened by him, he knew very well that the reason why these guys with supernormal abilities chose to join the Zhen Evil Division was because they worshipped the Champion Marquis, right now, Huo Zaixiao, was the backbone of the entire Zhen Evil Division, because of his existence, these supernormal warriors were able to wring their hands in a short period of time.
But if Huo Daizi dies …… then who is qualified to lead them? Would they be willing to bend under someone other than Huo Zaiwei?
”Then what are you going to do after three months?”
Huo Daizi was silent as he slowly lifted a corner of the curtain, his gaze falling on Gong Yang Wan who was alone in the far corner, gnawing on dry food.
Seeing Gongyang Wan, Lin Qiye looked like he had guessed something and his brows immediately tightened:
”Don’t tell me that you want her to eat you?”
”Rams Wan’s ability is very strong, if she can swallow me into her stomach, not only will she be able to change into my appearance, but she will also be able to use my [Dominant Emperor]…… If she can pretend to be this Marquis and continue to rule the Evil Suppression Division, then all the problems will be solved.”
”That’s why you didn’t kill her?” Lin Qiye immediately shook his head, “Are you crazy? Do you want to be trapped inside her forever and become a force at her disposal?”
”This Hou’s lifespan is already extremely short, but if the Evil Suppression Division is guarded by her, it will be able to live forever……. Since this is the case, what’s the harm in becoming a force at her disposal?” Huo Zaiwei’s expression was calm beyond compare.
”No, you can’t do that! You’re Huo Daizi!”
Lin Qiye immediately stood up and pulled down the door curtain of the carriage, speaking resolutely, “Marquis, if you trust me, leave this matter to me …… No matter what, I won’t let you fall into the belly of her people.”
Huo Zhaodong gave Lin Qiye a deep look, and a smile surfaced on that pale and frail face, as he said.
”Good, I believe you.”
He lowers his head, using the silk paper in his hand, he carefully wipes clean the blood stains on his marquis uniform, driven by the power of dominance, the blood flowing through his body, the pallor on his face is forcibly suppressed.
He got up and lifted the door curtain, his straight posture stood before the carriage, he looked out to the west, his black and gold marquis uniform bulging with the wind, like a young giant standing on top of the sky.
”Let’s go, depart.” He spoke faintly.
