Chapter 1504: Chapter 1497: Interference Prediction

"But Teacher Zhu, shouldn’t you be supervising us? You should be well aware of our identities. When we left the Western Continent, they must have made everything clear to you, right?" Luo’er said.

"So you should be even more cautious," Zhuyan Yu naturally understood the meaning behind Luo’er’s words and responded, "Indeed, ensuring the safety of all of you is my responsibility, but to abandon exploration for fear of risks would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Your identities notwithstanding, what I care more about is your strong exploratory capabilities and the adventurous spirit you always harbor."

Hearing her words, Luo’er and the team members exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement: "We will be careful. Thank you, Teacher Zhu, for your support."

"In any case, I hope when the Air Fleet arrives, all of you can return safely. Whatever identities you hold, I don’t want to lose any of you." Zhuyan Yu closed her eyes and sighed softly.

"Teacher Zhu..." Luo’er hesitated for a moment before saying, "That is, Feng might be related to the Dongsheng Empire. If, I mean if, she decides to stay in Kyushu, then we should..."

"Little Fengye is right here. Why ask me instead of her?" Zhuyan Yu opened her eyes and shrugged her shoulders.

"I won’t go to Kyushu. I’m from the Western Continent, I’m from Lipei!" Feng said, a bit agitatedly.

"There’s always an ’if’..." Luo’er glanced at her and said with a lowered head, "You’re connected to the Dongsheng Empire’s royal family. Maybe, when the time comes, you will... I’m not trying to alarm you, but when the Prophet entrusted you to me, your destiny was already hinted at..."

"I’m not going anywhere!!" Feng’s voice suddenly rose sharply, startling everyone.

"Alright, alright, if you don’t want to go, then just stay comfortably by your big sister’s side," Tangmo, playing the role of the big sister, hugged her and soothed her while casting a stern glance at Luo’er and complained, "Luo’er..."

"But prophecy is inescapable; no matter what we do, it will only accumulate the quantity that results in fulfilling the prophecy," Luo’er said with a troubled expression.

"The Prophet didn’t tell you that Little Fengye would stay in the East Continent, did he?" Cheng Ziang took a deep breath and asked calmly.

"No, he didn’t," Luo’er shook his head.

"Then stop worrying about nothing. Prophecies are inherently ambiguous; they only indicate a general direction. Since the prophecy doesn’t specify Little Fengye’s final destination, her return to the Advance Team naturally becomes part of the prophecy," Cheng Ziang said, spreading his hands.

"Hmm..." Luo’er fell into contemplation.

"Luo’er, as dialectical methodology states, people should exercise their subjective initiative. In other words, since Feng is unwilling to leave, it means she is using her subjective initiative to change the outcome. As long as we maintain our unity, no matter what we face next, we will remain as one, undivided," Baiyue couldn’t help but say.

"The fear is not being able to control one’s own destiny," Luo’er pondered.

"Then defy fate. Luo’er, you are Little Fengye’s guardian. Could you bear to give up on her?" Cheng Ziang leaned forward and challenged.

Listening to their words, Luo’er lapsed into silence again. After a long while, he slowly raised his head and looked at everyone: "Actually, I do believe in fate. Just like the prophecies I’ve read in the prophecy book, they are all slowly coming true, that’s where I get the confidence to choose what I want to do. But I can’t find a prophecy concerning Feng, so I’m naturally worried..."

"Like what?" Cheng Ziang asked.

He knew that Luo’er had read the prophecy book, but didn’t know if what was recorded was true. From the current situation, most of the prophecies recorded by the Ancestors tend to come true, including the opening of the Otherworld Gate in Yazhi City, followed by the invasion of the Earth Forces.

"I will never die from an accident, that’s my prophecy," Luo’er’s casual words shocked everyone present.

Noticing everyone’s reaction, Luo’er looked up at them with a hint of pride and smiled faintly, "So I’m curious why you always want me to stay back and not carry out missions. I will definitely not die from an accident, so I don’t have to worry about myself. On the contrary, your fates are unknown to me, so every time I send you out, I truly worry."

After being shocked for quite a while, Baiyue was the first to come back to her senses and said seriously, "Luo’er, you’ve got something wrong. It’s not that we’re letting you stay in the rear because you won’t die accidentally. It’s precisely because we’re keeping you in the rear that you won’t die accidentally. You’ve got the cause and effect reversed."

"That makes sense," Cheng Ziang also reacted, "As you said, the outcome of the prophecy is fixed; regardless of our actions, it will only contribute to the fulfillment of the prophecy. This means we should continue with our policy of not allowing you to go to the front lines easily, so you won’t die accidentally and thus hasten the arrival of the prophecy."

"Your topic is veering off a bit," Zhuyan Yu touched his face, showing a bitter smile, "But no matter what, as long as Feng is unwilling to leave, we must bring her back. She is a member of the Advance Team and also of the headquarters; we can’t just hand her over to someone else carelessly. This would be irresponsible towards her, and it would also be a failure of duty on your part as the Captain, Luo’er."

"I understand," Luo’er lowered his head and responded.

"Of course, if you can bring back a few girls from Kyushu, I’d be accepting of that, after all you..." Zhuyan Yu said, breaking into a mischievous smile.

"No, that’s not allowed, nobody is allowed to be brought back!" Tangmo, overflowing with jealousy, immediately shouted to stop her words.

"We’re going to explore, not to abduct..." Luo’er said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, under what identities shall we travel to Kyushu?" Cheng Ziang suddenly thought of this matter and asked curiously.

"As adventurers, of course." Hu Daoke, who hadn’t spoken in a while, shrugged nonchalantly.

"If you don’t speak no one will treat you as invisible," Cheng Ziang rolled his eyes.

"Eh, what do you mean, are you looking for a spanking again?" Hu Daoke was so infuriated that he began rubbing his hands together.

"That’s actually a good question," Baiyue nodded affirmatively.

"What’s there to discuss about this kind of question? Just go directly, isn’t that the end of it?" Hu Daoke asked, puzzled.

"No, that won’t work, we need to go deep into Kyushu but also maintain a distance from the people of Kyushu. We just fought a war with them. If we get too involved, it’s bound to cause trouble," Baiyue said gravely.

"So how are we going to handle this, needing to go deep into Kyushu but not wanting to interact with the people? Isn’t that a contradiction?" Hu Daoke scratched his head.

"Although it’s a bit complicated to think about, it’s not contradictory," Tangmo said, also sinking into contemplation.

"Hmm..." Fulajie’er, not knowing what was going on, popped up beside Luo’er, pretending to think deeply.

Tangmo stared at Luo’er and then glanced at Fulajie’er beside him. Suddenly getting an idea, she approached and grabbed Luo’er’s chin, lifting his face to examine it closely.

"Moumou, stop messing around..." Luo’er, who was already bashful, blushed immediately when she did this in front of everyone.

"Such a beautiful Elf," Tangmo squinted her eyes smiling, then turned to the others and said, "Have I ever mentioned that Luo’er possesses a divine beauty?"

"That’s for you to say; you’ve been eying Luo’er’s beauty all day long," Cheng Ziang shrugged, his tone ambiguous, not sure if he was being sarcastic.

But Tangmo ignored his comment, instead smiling knowingly, confidently saying, "I think I’ve thought of a way, a method that will allow us to go deep into Kyushu without excessive contact with the people there."

"What’s the method?" Everyone looked at her, all ears.

"Our divine Luo’er, displaying his sacred beauty, will be admired by all, who will not bear to desecrate it," Tangmo murmured, looking at Luo’er.
