Ace Of Terrans Chapter 739 Pawns

Chapter 739 Pawns.

?Shi Lang pacified Zhu Lingxue and Yun Tian. After giving them careful instructions, he left the Zhu Family mansion. Outside the mansion, Yao Jiming asked him, "Young Master, why did you show favor to Lady Zhu?"

While gazing at the bustling marketplace, Shi Lang smiled and said, "The Zhu Family wanted to change city governance. This incident may have set them back for a few days, but they will not stop. So, to ease my troubles, I thought, why not instill a pawn of my own in this ga of chess."

Yao Jiming was smart enough to understand what Shi Lang ant and confusedly asked, "Young Master, how will this pawn help us? Do you think that Lady Zhu will go against her father and family?"

Shi Lang smiled and nodded as he said, "What happens when you set a caged bird free to explore the limits of the sky, Brother Yao?"

Yao Jiming took a deep breath and said, "Young Master, you are indeed unfathomable for a dimwit like ."

Shi Lang waved his hand and shalessly replied, "Now, I am not that special."

The two n talked a bit as they moved through the market and ca to the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion. At this mont, Shi Lang received a ssage from his spiritual communicator, "You trained the Little Asura well."

Shi Lang received the ssage from Alia, and he put two and two together before he smiled and replied, "Tell that brat not to miss on cultivation. How is everything going? Did you find anything in the investigation?"

Alia quickly replied, "Yes, we did find the involvent of the few major families in the Central Plains. They are stocking the flas in many major sects. We think such a thing is common, but at this mont, I would not rule out that so divergent family is up to it."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I wish Xiao Tao were here to help in administration. I would have been able to relax."

Alia replied, "Do you want her to beat you up?"

Shi Lang chuckled and then said, "I am going to practice. Take care."

...

In the War Maiden Sect, Alia stood beside Yu Xeidi, telling her about the conversation she had with Shi Lang. The little girl smiled and did not say anything. She looked at Elder Tang and said, "Elder, can we get the interrogation to speed up a little? I have to head back to stay with Senior Sister."

Alia asked, "What is the rush for?"

She did not want Yu Xeidi to leave so quickly. She saw a glimpse of Young Shi Tao in this child. Yu Xeidi replied, "Mistress, Senior Sister is a hobody, and she does not like to talk much apart from Master and . She is very shy, so I do not wish to leave her alone. Who knows if she will co out of that closed room for so sunlight or grow moldy."

Alia smiled and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Yu Xeidi tilted her head and said, "Master told us once that we should rest and enjoy nature sotis, or we will grow moldy."

Alia chuckled as she shook her head. She said, "Fine, I will give you two a gift as a token of my love for you."

Yu Xeidi was surprised and wanted to refuse when Hei Lei said, "Xiao Yu, accept whatever your mistress gives you. You treat your Master like a Father. Your mistress is like your Mother. Will you refuse your Mother?"

The little girl shook her head, and Alia told Ying Yu to bring her sothing from her quarters. The latter soon returned with a rectangular box in her hand. Alia opened the box and said, "I know you like to use epee as a weapon. The best forgers in our sect craft this one. It is a dium-grade spiritual weapon. It is light and swift. You are practicing the path of a Shura. But while your Master is a man and can practice the way of strength. You are a girl, and you are blessed with quick speed and flexibility. This weapon will not change your fighting style but give you an advantage and put less strain on your body."

Yu Xeidi took hold of a silver-colored epee, noticed a set of characters, and mumbled, "Blood wave."

Alia smiled and said, "How about it? Do you like it?"

Yu Xeidi nodded heavily as she began to move the blade. Alia said, "This sword can be upgraded as you grow stronger. Another thing is that the sword size can change by manipulating the array on the hilt. The smaller the size, the greater the weight."

Elder Tang could not help but say, "This is a good gift. Xiao Yu, why have you not thanked your mistress?"

Yu Xeidi stopped her movents and bowed to Alia in thanks. The latter smiled and said, "This is for Xiao i. Could you bring it to her carefully? Okay, Xiao Yu?"

She handed a small box to Yu Xeidi. The little girl did not check it and quickly put it back in her space ring. Alia nodded and asked, "So, when can we expect the result of the interrogation?"

Elder Tang said, "They will reach out anyti now; if soone is proving difficult, it might take a few more hours."

Alia nodded and said, "Well, with this entire exchange, the War Maiden Sect has gained a lot. So, if you need anything, do tell us without hesitation."

Yu Xeidi said, "Mistress, will it be possible for your sect to pay for the instant long-distance communication devices?"

While Ying Yu was shocked, Elder Tang spoke, "Xiao Yu."

Alia smiled and asked, "Why do you ask for it, Xiao Yu?"

She wanted to see what this young lady was up to. Yu Xeidi replied, "Master taught that developing new technology takes resources, and we can only procure them by spending money. Although the Asura Hall has begun to take on tasks like assassinations and information gathering. We have never killed any innocent person. The inco is just enough for the mbers to get by. If we wish to develop more technology, we will need money to get raw materials.

This technology is too delicate for the balance of power, and it cannot be sold outside, but we will still need to deal with the Dragon Army and the Jade Towers. If they found out that it was given to your sect for free, it might cause them to be dissatisfied. This is why I asked if your side would pay. We will only charge them the manufacturing cost from all the forces."

Alia smiled and said, "So, you wish to use this small fee to develop more technology and strengthen the Asura Hall? The missions your people take are risky, and this money will be used as a paynt for them. You intend to use the reward system to boost the morale of your hall mbers and even advance research and developnt. Am I right?"

Yu Xeidi nodded, and Alia patted her head gently as she said, "My husband found himself a gem. If I covet you, will he get upset with ?"

The little girl blushed and said, "Mistress can also have as Master do."

Alia chuckled and said, "I know, my dear. It's just that your master is a petty man."

Ying Yu and Elder Tang imagined Shi Lang coughing up blood and chuckled. They knew it was not true, but Yu Xeidi was truly a gem disciple that anyone would covet.

Soon, the interrogation results were transmitted to Elder Tang on her spirit communicator. She had soone take down notes. Alia and the rest of the big shots listened to her dictation.

Flower Sword said, "The last ti when Wang Family's prince was proven to be divergent, they directly cut off all the connections with him and even managed to prove their innocence to the Martial Association. They had been facing business and military sanctions from the martial association, yet they were not resting in their hole. It ans they are up to sothing again."

Ying Yu nodded and said, "During that battle, I ca across Hall Master Shi. To think that the Wang family has not yet learned their lesson. This upset of balance can throw the entire human race into the jaws of civil wars. I wonder why they are doing this. What will they achieve?"

Alia shook her head and said, "If soone does not learn their lesson even after losing a limb, then it ans they are not playing the ga. They are nothing but suicidal pawns. We must not act against them but find the real player."

Flower Sword was shocked and asked, "Who could be so cunning to use the Wang Family, one of the top ten families in the Central Plains as pawns?"

The people all wanted to ask who it was, but they did not have any answer. Alia took a breath and said, "Ti will tell who is the king behind these pawns."
