Chapter 67 - Ancient Era?

"Another Hidden Family?" Andy's eyes squinted as he looked at Xu Yue.

She nodded, "Yes, we are one of the hidden families in the lower world,"

Andy gave a nod. "Alright. Is it that Imperial Concubine who told you to kill me?"

She nodded once more. "Yes, she wanted to kill you since you're the reason the Lin family was annihilated. She even agreed to our terms,"

Andy's brows were raised. "Really? And what are the conditions?"

"The imperial family of the Black Dragon continent controls a special realm. Our ancestors in the upper world got a clue about that special realm. After searching for a long time, they found that the realm is in the lower world. However, when they descended into the lower world, their power was restricted due to the laws of this world. After searching for a long time, they discovered that the imperial family controls that realm. Nobody is allowed to enter that realm except a pure-blooded member of the royal family. And they found that the imperial family was extremely powerful, and they could not destroy them. Since then, we've been working hard to obtain access to that realm." Xu Yue replied honestly, her bright hazel eyes fixed on Andy.

Andy's eyes narrowed when he heard her. "What was in that realm?"

But she shook her head, "I don't know but as per our records, it has something to do with the secrets of the ancient era,"

"Ancient world?" Andy asked again.

She nodded. "Yes, but only few people know about the ancient world. But it is said that immortals used to live in that ancient era,"

Andy's eyes flashed, "Again, those Immortals?" he muttered slowly. That woman also told about the immortals.

But a question popped up in his mind. Why there was no mention of that realm in that book? Was he missing something? Or destiny is playing with him?

He exhaled, and his eyes turned back to blue. "What is your position in that family?"

Xu Yue smiled, "I am the daughter of the Supreme Elder."

Andy nodded and smiled slightly. "Good. So, have you read those records?"

But she shook her head, "No, only my father and the head can access those records."

Andy's brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on Xu Yue. To be honest, she was stunningly beautiful and mature, but she lacked experience. Otherwise, she shouldn't have revealed her killing intent when he stepped out of his courtyard.

Xu Yue trembled and blushed slightly, but a little expectation rose in her heart when she saw those blue eyes behind the mask fixed on her. Even though her heart was filled with devotion and reverence for Andy, there was also a sense of expectation.

"You want to be with me?" Andy asked abruptly.

She panicked a little, "T... This. Yes, this slave wishes to serve the master forever."

Andy's lips curled up. "It is possible. But you must do some work for me. After that, you can be with me."

Xue Yue's eyes lit up, "I will even die for you, Master,"

"Hmmm. I don't want you to die, but you have to go back and tell them that I killed your partner. If they ask how I killed him, tell them that I overpowered him and was so powerful that you fled when you saw my strength. They aren't going to soul search you since you're the daughter of the Supreme Elder, right?"

Xu Yue smiled, "You don't know, Master. But I am the princess of the Xu Family. Since I got bored with cultivating, I wanted to take a breather and, at that time, that bitch came with the request to kill you."

"Please forgive me, Master, but your slave thought of killing you," she said as she looked at the ground.

Andy smirked. "I know. In any case, you have another task. Try to get your hands on those records. I want it."

Xu Yue nodded, "Don't worry, master. I will do anything for you."

"Hmm," Andy said as he gently stroked her cheeks with his fingers. Xu Yue, on the other hand, felt her heart skip a beat and her face flushed red.

"Finish your work, and I'll give you a big gift."

Xu Yue nodded shyly.

A black jade suddenly appeared in his hand, which he handed over to her.

She had a puzzled expression on her face as her gaze was drawn to the formation carved in that jade. "What is it, Master?"

"This is for communication. Whenever I reach the capital. I will contact you. Keep it safe till that time."

Her fists clenched the jade tightly as a token appeared in her other hand.

She bowed to Andy, "Be assured, Master, I will complete your task."

Taking one last look at Andy, she crushed the token and vanished from the spot; in the meantime, Andy's eyes were fixed on the spot where she had vanished, his lips curled up.

"I'll give you a really beautiful gift." He muttered and then vanished.

..........

In a distant location, a woman in a black bodysuit sobbed in front of a middle-aged man.

"That man... he killed him. He killed Xu Ke. It's all my fault. I couldn't do anything. He would not have been killed if it had not been for my failure. He died in order to save me."

The woman burst into tears. "I should not have gone. Xu Ke was killed because of my stubbornness."

When he saw that woman cry, the middle-aged man's eyes softened. He sighed and rubbed his face for a moment before approaching and embracing the woman.

"It's fine. It's a good thing you're safe. You are my only daughter in this world, and I would be unable to answer your mother if something had happened to you. As for Xu Ke, he was killed because he was weak. It's not your fault. Now that you've realized, there are people out there who could kill you. You must focus on your cultivation. Since you've just entered the Soul Formation realm, go into seclusion until you reach the Profound Realm. IAs for that man, I will arrange something. We can't miss this chance. We have lost too much to get hands in that realm."

Xu Yue was stunned for a moment as she heard about seclusion. She pushed him away and wiped her tears away, her hazel eyes fixed on that middle-aged man.

"Father, why don't you tell me about that realm? Since I am your only daughter, I should know about everything, right?"
