Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 250: A grand scheme

Some are proud to be part of the race due to the story that they are a lineage from the gods.

That may be true as they are just beings blessed with a different ability fit for their role. What role? Li Mao does not know. For being caretakers? Probably.

"You were in the Immortal Domain at the time your father was branded as a criminal?" She asked suddenly Li Shao that is currently in deep thought with all the things that he has learned.

Li Mao nodded his head, "Yes. Justice Affairs visited our home looking for him." He said softly more cooperative. "Why are we not aware of these treasures?" he asked. "Even the other Keepers are not aware."

"Hmm... No one really wants to deal with anyone giving unnecessary attention. Why you want that?" Li Mao asked.

There are a handful of Keepers who know, not too many hopefully. Those who tried the trial but was not chosen and end up spreading the new. Then those who are chosen and was given special protection.

It should be a taboo to just tell anyone about it. Li Mao is already breaking that rule. Does she regret it? No. She is even considering to visit the ancestral valley to hope for more answers.

Speaking of protection, that is also concerning Li Mao as Keepers that are chosen to use the Fngy treasure is never alone. Either accompanied by a divine beast or another Keeper.

The more she thinks about the more she is getting concerns. The clues that are supposed to connect the dots are not making sense at all.

"I would like to guess. The Divine Shen Yu Priest announced the premonition not long after your father was announced as a criminal. Correct?" Li Mao asked.

Li Shao frowned but nodded, "If after two is not long for you, that is probably the case." He realizes what Li Mao is pointing at.

For him, two weeks is enough time for him to learn not to trust just anyone. Probably during this short time, a grand scheme was in creating that was immediately taking action to all domains.

"Premonition?" Wei Jiayi suddenly interrupted. "The Divine Shen Yu Priest had a premonition?" he asked no one in particular.

Lou Ren decided to answer, "Yes master. The hero of his premonition is a female keeper." He emphasized, then doing a quick glance to Gao Lan Mei.

Gao Lan Mei then told Wei Jiayi the other details regarding the promotion, even the treasure elixir of the Gods.

Wei Jiayi's listened intently, but he did not miss the glint on Gao Lan Mei's eyes when she mentioned about the elixir.

If he can touch her, he already kissed her face and promised to get it for her. Since that is not going to happen soon, he will just wait for her to ask for his help.

He continued to pay attention to what she is saying, face frowned deepened the more he learned about the details of the premonition.

"So in short, every Keeper on site will be captured." He uttered seriously crossing his arms over his chest. "Hmm... Interesting..." he added as he considers all possibilities.

"How would they know if one is a Keeper?" Gao Lan Mei asked. Everyone told her that she is part of the race, but no one really told her how they learned about it.

Aside from her mother's confirmation, she does not know what makes them different on a physical aspect or anything that makes any being recognize them.

"Well, our eyes turn red for one if we are feeling a very strong emotion." Lou Ren started shrugging his shoulder like it is nothing much.

Gao Lan Mei frowned, "If that is the case, why did Xi Jun ask me before where I was from since my eyes are strange?" she clarified.

Xi Jun not liking the accusation, "I asked you? When-" he said indignantly but stopped when Lou Ren popped his stomach with an elbow. "What now?!"
