Seeing Guai Xin's eager demeanor, Saroya finally became anxious. If he didn't show some performance, he would be outshone.
“It’s fine, merely a killer from Heaven Beyond Heaven, nothing to worry about,” Qin Chen said calmly, glancing at him before turning to leave.
“My lord.”
At that moment, a clear and urgent voice suddenly rang out, stopping Qin Chen in his tracks.
Swish!
A graceful figure floated down and appeared before Qin Chen; it was Rona, who had been residing there all along.
“Hmm?” Saroya’s eyes turned cold as he quickly blocked Rona, displeased. What was this girl trying to do?
Without the lord's summons, she dared to intrude?
“My lord, I have important matters to report to you,” Rona said, being blocked by Saroya and not daring to offend him. She hurriedly knelt down, her head touching the ground, and respectfully saluted Qin Chen.
“Great Emperor embryo?” Qin Chen glanced at Rona, somewhat surprised. He never expected that Rona, having stayed here for such a short time, had actually entered the great emperor realm.
However, Qin Chen could also see that Rona’s body was in the process of transforming into the great emperor body. She had essentially broken through halfway and had comprehended the law of the Cosmic Sea Path, but her physical body had not fully entered the great emperor realm yet. Some time was needed for that transformation.
But regardless, having taken this step, truly entering the great emperor realm was only a matter of time; nothing unexpected would occur.
“What is it?” Qin Chen looked at Rona.
“My lord, the reason my Luo Family from the Great Horn Star Realm has been pursued by the Skeleton Society, coveted by the Taiyi Sacred Land, and even attracted the attention of the Saint of the City Dragon, is all because my Luo Family possesses a very special secret,” Rona said, still kneeling, raising her head with clear eyes. “Now that my aunt is dead and my family has withered, I survived because of you.”
“Now, I also consider myself having broken through to the great emperor realm thanks to you. But I deeply understand that if I keep this secret, once the news leaks, one day I will still die at someone else’s hands.”
“After days of thought, I’ve decided to fully disclose this secret to you, not seeking any reward, just to repay the two times you saved my life.”
“Of course, since this secret concerns my entire Luo Family, if… if it’s possible, I have just one small request: I hope that in the future, you can support my Luo Family. I do not seek great wealth or nobility, but merely wish for my Luo Family to continue its lineage and not be slaughtered.”
Rona knelt deeply, her forehead touching the ground, her gaze resolute.
She had actually known about her ancestors’ secret for a long time.
In recent days, she had been contemplating what the future of the Luo Family would hold, whether or not to tell Qin Chen.
After all, the magnitude of this secret could, with enough opportunity, elevate the Luo Family to become a top power in the Southern Cosmic Sea, possibly reaching the status of the Mo Yun Noble Family in Southern Origin City.
But previously, after witnessing Saroya’s breakthrough and the dissipating laws of the great path, and seeing Guai Xin ally with Qin Chen, she suddenly came to a realization.
In this world, even the direct lineage of the Komodo Beast clan needed to find a backing, and even the branch leader of Heaven Beyond Heaven’s division sent to the Southern Cosmic Sea had to choose a place to settle.
As a descendant of a small, unknown family from the Great Horn Star Realm, dreaming of reviving her family and leading them to the ranks of top powers in the Southern Cosmic Sea was utterly laughable.
A common person has no guilt but bears the burden of a hidden treasure.
If she kept this secret, the highest possibility was that in the future, this secret would sink with the Luo Family, becoming just a speck of dust in the cosmic sea.
