Chapter 438 - 279: Life Is Like Chess (Double-Length - )

"Chen Zilu?"

Jiang Ye’s expression slightly changed.

Wang Zilu was from the Huanglong Civilization and hadn’t even heard of the Blue Star Civilization before; how could she have an impression of Chen Zilu?

"What impression?" A glint flashed in Jiang Ye’s eyes.

"If I’m not mistaken, she should be from the Blue Star Civilization like you."

"And she has a good relationship with you." Wang Zilu smiled brightly; her smile was very similar to Chen Zilu’s, incredibly charming.

"That’s a guess, not an impression." Jiang Ye’s face was expressionless.

Wang Zilu’s smile froze.

"This guy, a real straight arrow, huh?" The girl silently grumbled in her heart but showed a radiant smile on her face.

She turned around, clasping her small hands behind her back.

"Alright."

"You want me to say an impression... She looks a lot like me?" Wang Zilu slightly tilted her head, revealing an exquisitely beautiful profile to Jiang Ye.

"Not at all." Jiang Ye shook his head.

"How not?" Wang Zilu frowned her delicate brows.

"I want to hear your impression of her, not you constantly asking me." Jiang Ye said calmly.

"That’s my impression of Chen Zilu."

"Have you met her?"

"It’s not your business whether I’ve met her; can’t I just guess?" Wang Zilu huffed, "If it weren’t for this, why did you save me that day?"

"Because I think you resemble someone from the Blue Star Civilization." Jiang Ye replied truthfully.

"I also think you look like someone from our Huanglong Civilization." Wang Zilu blinked her peach-blossom eyes.

"..." Jiang Ye felt there was no need to continue this conversation.

From her, it seemed unlikely to gather any useful information.

At this moment.

"Forget it."

"I’ll speak frankly." Wang Zilu pouted with some disinterest, "I have indeed met her."

"How did you meet her?" Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows.

Chen Zilu was in the area of the Fifth Break.

In theory, Wang Zilu couldn’t possibly have met her.

"You don’t need to know how I saw her; it’s my secret." Wang Zilu snorted coldly.

She had come for that flutter in her heart, but Jiang Ye’s indifferent attitude made it seem a bit boring to her.

Just at this moment.

"This isn’t your true form, is it?" Jiang Ye suddenly asked, staring into the girl’s beautiful eyes.

"What did you say?" Wang Zilu was momentarily stunned.

"Nothing." Jiang Ye suddenly smiled, turned around, and said, "Let’s leave it at that. I don’t like dealing with alien races."

"You..." Wang Zilu’s rosy lips parted slightly, but ultimately she said nothing.

She stood still, watching the figure fade into the distance.

"How is that possible."

"How did he know?" Wang Zilu murmured softly, her peach-blossom eyes full of bewilderment.

It was as if a long-hidden secret had been unearthed by someone through inexplicable means.

But the other party left right after speaking, not showing the slightest courtesy.

Such behavior only made her feel an itch of curiosity, wishing to learn the answer immediately.

"Thump thump! Thump thump!"

The feeling of agitation came over her once more.

"Jiang Ye?"

"Who exactly are you?" Wang Zilu gazed into the distance, her fair hand gently covering her proud and ample chest.

...

Inside the mysterious space.

"How is this possible?"

"I actually don’t have the authority to view this?" The short black-robed man, Ji Wei, was astounded as he stared at the query page.

Just now, he wanted to use his authorization to investigate the white-robed girl.

But the result?

A line of striking red words appeared on the query projection screen before him:

[You lack the authorization to query this!]

"Lack of authorization? How could that be?" Both Ji Ba and Ji Wei were extremely surprised.

As Inspectors of the Star Realm Sea, their level of authorization was exceptionally high.

Even for someone like Yan Yi, a top-tier genius and personal disciple of the God, they could uncover all secrets with just a flick of their finger.

Since the Star Realm Sea opened, it was the first time they encountered such a situation.

"Ji Ba, use your authorization." Ji Wei quickly said, "Joint application, see if we can find anything."

The two proceeded with a joint application, aiming to acquire a higher level of authorization.

"Alright." Ji Ba entered his authorization, quickly attempting to query Wang Zilu’s information.

Soon.

[You lack the authorization to query this!]

"Still can’t." Ji Ba shook his head.

The two exchanged a glance, increasingly astonished.

Despite their joint authority, they still couldn’t access the information on this girl?

What exactly was her origin?

"Ji Wei," Ji Ba couldn’t help but say, "how about we try using the family’s authorization?"

Their family, in Cangxu Civilization, was an immensely powerful entity.

If they used the family authority.

Even some hidden secrets in secondary-level civilizations could potentially be uncovered.

Just as they were about to act.

Suddenly.

"Buzz buzz!" A vibration sound came.

"It’s the Venerable." Ji Wei was slightly startled, hurriedly opening the communication.

Whoa~ A surge of lights converged, forming a blurred silhouette, a majestic figure with an unfathomable aura.

"Venerable." Ji Ba and Ji Wei bowed in respect, incredibly deferential.

"Regarding that girl."

"Refrain from investigating further." The blurred silhouette said calmly, "Do you understand?"

"Yes." The two of them quickly responded.

Swoosh~

The blurred silhouette gradually dissipated.

"What?" Ji Ba and Ji Wei exchanged a glance, even more amazed.

The Venerable, the real controller behind the Star Realm Sea, and their immediate superior.

A person of absolute significance in the entire Cangxu Civilization.

The Venerable called just for this matter?

"Who exactly is that girl?" Ji Ba couldn’t help but shiver inside.

"Let this matter be." Ji Wei said in a low voice, "Regarding that girl, pretend you’ve never seen her."

"Hmm." Ji Ba sighed inwardly.
