The girl lifted her delicate hands, pointing towards a distant row of school buildings.
"Hmm."
Su Ming and Celeste turned their heads to look.
"Together with Long Xian, I personally selected one hundred thousand of the finest and smartest talents from seven billion humans in various fields. Then, in this virtual world, I personally taught them, guiding them to learn various knowledge and lead them to debate in the open-air auditorium, cultivating a spirit of independent exploration."
The girl led Su Ming and the others to the open-air auditorium, gazing at the familiar scene before her, feeling sowhat moved.
"Amazing."
Celeste looked at the girl with admiration.
"Besides that, I went to great lengths to create the experintal zone, the Prophet Tower! Relentlessly nurturing you humans, building the cornerstone of civilization! Later, I led you into the Interstellar Era, pouring abundant resources to ensure your complete rise! But how did Long Xian treat ? That treacherous scoundrel!"
At the end of her words, the girl could no longer suppress the anger in her heart and spoke with extre indignation.
"Senior, what did Lord Long Xian do?"
Su Ming asked with a bracing attitude.
"Back then, I made a deal with him; I would help humanity rise, and in return, you humans would help kill the chanical Clan’s Herares Clan Leader and seize the Dinsion Stone for . However, Long Xian not only failed to assist in killing Herares, but he also embezzled the Dinsion Stone and wouldn’t hand it over to ! Without , you would have died from internal strife years ago or beco food for the Chilami Clan; how could you have today?"
The girl spoke coldly.
"That’s outrageous! How could Dragon String Council President do that!"
Upon hearing this, Celeste imdiately felt indignant for the girl, speaking angrily.
Su Ming quickly nudged Celeste with his arm and hastily said to the girl.
"Senior, there must be so misunderstanding, we don’t know exactly what’s going on."
"If you want to assist you, give the Dinsion Stone, otherwise, no deal!"
The girl spoke coldly.
"Senior, why don’t we ask around? Find out what’s really happening, I think Lord Long Xian couldn’t have reneged without reason."
Su Ming said with a headache.
If what the chanical friend said is true, then perhaps they really have to hand over the Dinsion Stone.
"Fine! I’ll give you a chance!"
The girl replied coldly.
"Senior, please wait here a mont, Celeste, let’s go!"
Su Ming promptly said to Celeste.
"Alright!"
Celeste replied quickly.
...
In the underground secret chamber.
Click!
Two neural connection pods opened.
Su Ming and Celeste erged from the neural connection pods.
"Su Ming, what should we do first? We can’t really go find Long Xian, can we?"
Celeste asked, confused.
"Let’s go find Long Bai!"
Su Ming promptly led Celeste out.
...
--------------------------------------------------
Late night.
Federation Governnt Administrative Building·Office.
Long Bai, with his head down, was busy approving the submitted docunts.
Yun Rou quietly awaited beside him.
Knock knock!
At this mont, a knock on the door sounded.
Yun Rou was slightly startled, it was unusual for soone to visit Lord Long Bai at such a late hour.
"Co in!"
Long Bai spoke coldly.
The door was then pushed open, and Su Ming entered with Celeste.
"Lord Su Ming."
Yun Rou greeted with so surprise.
"Miss Yun Rou, we have urgent matters to discuss with Council Chairman Long Bai, please watch the door outside and don’t let anyone near."
Su Ming instructed Yun Rou.
"Okay!"
Yun Rou imdiately retreated and closed the door.
At this mont, Long Bai put down his pen and looked at Su Ming, asking.
"You t it?"
"Yes, we t the chanical friend."
Su Ming sighed and said.
"What did it say?"
"Uh, I’m not sure if I should say."
Feeling hesitant, Su Ming considered that the words of the chanical friend were very harsh, damaging Long Xian’s reputation.
"Why not, tell ."
"Well, I hope you won’t be mad or take it to heart after hearing."
"Don’t worry, I’m not the rigid type."
Long Bai responded calmly.
Su Ming sighed and said to Long Bai.
"It told us the reason for its fallout with Lord Long Xian was due to his treachery. Initially, it was agreed that it would assist humans in rising, and Long Xian would help it kill the chanical Clan’s Herares Clan Leader and seize the Dinsion Stone! But Lord Long Xian failed to uphold the agreent, not handing over the Dinsion Stone to it."
Long Bai fell into a deep silence upon hearing Su Ming’s words.
Seeing Long Bai not speak for a while, Su Ming tentatively asked.
"Lord Long Bai, is there a misunderstanding?"
"No misunderstanding, I know what happened."
Long Bai replied coolly.
"What happened?"
Asked Su Ming, sowhat puzzled.
Although he hadn’t t Long Xian, based on his achievents and conduct, Long Xian didn’t seem like soone who would break promises.
"My grandfather once told that he owed everyone in his lifeti except it. I never understood why he said that, but now I do!"
Long Bai said candidly.
"I don’t quite get it."
Celeste said bewilderedly.
Long Bai then spoke solemnly.
"The chanical friend wasn’t lying, my grandfather did promise it. But the Dinsion Stone is an item that concerns human destiny, and as the leader of the Human Clan, even if the Dinsion Stone is unusable by us, he would rather it rot in his hands than allow it to fall into the hands of other races, even it! Yet on a personal level, he broke his promise, which is why he felt he owed it!"
