Chapter 734: – Leaving

“Mr. Kling?”

Looking at Chen Heng, who was well-dressed and looked as if he had not slept, Wendy could not help but look puzzled. “Do you usually wake up so early?”

“Yes.”

With a smile, Chen Heng looked at Wendy in front of him and said softly, “Because there was nothing much to do at night, I went to bed early and got up early.”

“In contrast, you seem to be a little tired.”

“Yes.”

Wendy had a bitter look on her face. At this moment, she seemed to be very distressed. “I don’t know why, although I went to bed very early last night, I’m still very sleepy this morning, as if I stayed up all night.”

Are you sure you went to bed early?

Chen Heng looked at Wendy and naturally knew why. For Wendy, she might have gone to bed early, but it was a different matter for this body. The same body, Wendy used it during the day, and Elena used it at night. She didn’t have much rest. How could she not be tired the next day?

But fortunately, this kind of situation only appeared occasionally. Otherwise, if prolonged, this body would collapse sooner or later.

“I have some herbs here. A doctor I know used to make them for me. They are specially used to treat this kind of situation. The effect is very good.”

Chen Heng thought for a moment, then looked at Wendy and said, “If you don’t mind, you can try them out.”

“Really?”

In front of her, Wendy was originally worried that something had happened to her body. After hearing Chen Heng’s words, her face immediately lit up with joy, and she hurriedly nodded.

“Of course, it’s true.”

Chen Heng nodded, then took out some things from his bag and placed them on the table. Those were some jade-colored potions. They looked quite good, and even the packaging looked quite exquisite.

These were some potions to replenish energy and were quite good for nourishing the body. Chen Heng refined them mainly to refresh the mind. He did not care about the effects of nourishing the body.

However, this potion should be very effective for an ordinary person like Wendy. It could solve some of the hidden problems in her body. As for Elena frequently appearing and taking over her body, Chen Heng could not help it.

Chen Heng stood where he was, and various thoughts flashed through his mind. However, he was smiling the whole time as he watched the girl.

Feeling Chen Heng’s gaze, Wendy could not help but lower her head. Her face looked rosy as if she was a little embarrassed.

“Oh, right.”

Chen Heng suddenly spoke, breaking the current atmosphere. “Next time, please help me tidy up my room.

“If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll be leaving soon.”

“Huh?”

Wendy shouted in surprise and subconsciously said, “You’re leaving so soon?”

“Yes.”

Chen Heng smiled and said softly, “I wasn’t in such a hurry at first, but I just received news that there’s an emergency at home, and I need to rush back to deal with it.

“So, although I’m regretful, I can only leave for the time being.”

As he spoke, there was a regretful look on his face, as if he felt a little regretful that he couldn’t stay any longer.

His main purpose in coming to this small town was to contact the people of the King’s Council. Now that his purpose had been achieved, he had no reason to stay.

Wendy was not clear about this. Looking at Chen Heng’s regretful face, she felt inexplicably reluctant. “Will you come again next time?”

“Of course.”

Chen Heng smiled and said, “I have traveled to many places and visited many unique places. I have witnessed the scenery of different places.

“For me, if I had not stayed well in a place, it would feel incomplete to me.

“This town is like this to me.”

He spoke softly, his gaze fixed on the young girl in front of him. “Sooner or later, I will come back. I hope I can still see you again when that day comes.”

The young girl paused. Hearing Chen Heng’s words and feeling his gaze, she could not help but slowly lower her head, her face gradually turning rosy.

“I’ve always been working here. If you have any needs in the future, you can come and look for me.”

She opened her mouth and said this. After that, she seemed a little embarrassed and immediately turned around to leave. Chen Heng could see the girl’s rosy neck through his good eyesight.

He smiled as he watched this scene. As he watched the girl leave, he could not help but miss her in his heart.

“She’s a good child, but unfortunately…”

Chen Heng stood where he was and shook his head. Various thoughts flashed through his mind. “If there’s a chance, I’ll help her.”

He had been in contact with the Kings’Council for a long time. After that, Chen Heng would have a chance to contact Elena’s group.

When the time came, he would think of a way to solve the girl’s problem. This thought flashed through his mind, then he took a step forward and slowly walked forward.

Time slowly passed. When he came here, Chen Heng did not bring any luggage, so it was quite convenient for him to leave.

The small town was still quite prosperous, with several foreign merchants. Chen Heng hired a carriage in the small town and asked someone to negotiate with a foreign caravan. Then he moved forward with them.

Just like that, he slowly stepped onto the road of return. This traveling method was naturally slow for people like Chen Heng, but it was also quite interesting.

He was not in a hurry now, so nothing was wrong with returning slowly like this. Moreover, it could also conceal some things.

In places where ordinary people could not see, several pairs of eyes stared at Chen Heng’s every move. The pale-faced youth witnessed the entire process of Chen Heng hiring a carriage and following the caravan. He could not help but feel a little puzzled.

“Can’t we just go back? Why do we have to walk so slowly?”

He stood there, looking a little puzzled.

“Maybe this is the hobby of the noble. They like to do things slowly?”

On the side, another honest-looking, rough-looking middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said.

The two wore different clothes, and their temperaments and appearances were also very different. The only similarity was that they both wore a medal on their bodies. There was a unique brand on it as if it possessed special power.

This was the King’s Council’s seal, which represented these two people’s identities. From the looks of it, the two of them were well aware of Chen Heng’s every move after entering the small town.

Seeing Chen Heng take the caravan to leave slowly, they shook their head and directly turned away.

In the distance, when the two left, Chen Heng’s hand holding a scroll paused, then it seemed to return to normal quickly. The whole process is like an illusion. There is no abnormal feeling.

In front, the convoy continued forward, slowly driving in front of the road, ready to go to an unknown distance.

Bang!

A huge wooden table was knocked on in the spacious and ornate room, and there was a huge depression. The young man was dressed in an ornate robe, and his handsome face bore a wave of irrepressible anger.

“Haven’t you found it yet?”

Aili stood there, looking down at his group of subordinates, and spoke angrily. In the past, as the first prince of the Violet Empire, Aili would always be the center of the crowd no matter where he went.

At that time, he was like the core of the world, surrounded by people and doing everything smoothly.

But now, his expression had become much uglier. On closer inspection, even his face looked much more haggard, completely different from his previous high-spirited appearance.

When he made his move, his subordinates were silent. Some of them wanted to open their mouths to say something, but when they saw Aili’s furious appearance, they could not help but shut their mouths again, not daring to open them.

As the subordinates of Prince Aili, they knew Aili’s temper the best. If they were to anger him at this moment, something bad might happen.

Standing on the spot, Aili waved a hand and smashed it heavily onto the wooden table in front of him. With a bang, the wooden table was smashed into pieces.

The pieces of the wooden table shattered into pieces like a human corpse. They scattered everywhere, creating a cloud of dust.

“A bunch of trash!”

Ailey roared angrily, venting his anger on his own. From his body, a powerful might continued to spread out in all directions, causing the people around to feel a little depressed.

They did not say a word and just silently endured it. After a long while, Aili released rapid breathing sounds and barely managed to calm down.

“Men.”

He shouted. A few servants immediately walked out from the side and carefully cleaned up the debris around them.

During this process, they were very careful, afraid they would offend the prince. After all, Aili had killed several people due to his bad mood. Whenever those servants appeared when he was in a bad mood, they might be directly killed by him.

Under such circumstances, one could imagine how terrifying the pressure in these people’s hearts was. And this kind of situation was a common problem.

Noble families passed on their bloodline, so they had powerful powers. But while bloodlines could bring power, they also brought all sorts of troubles.

Some powerful bloodlines often had very serious aftereffects, weakening people’s rationality and often being controlled by their instincts. Unlike the powerhouses of other worlds, the stronger the people in this world were, the easier it was for them to lose their rationality.

For example, Aili would easily go crazy when he was in a state of anger. It was normal for him to kill someone accidentally. The people around him remained silent and pretended they didn’t see anything.

“What can I do now?”

Sitting upright, Aili took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Then, he looked down and continued to speak.

“We have already searched the places we should look for, but there are no traces of Princess Aimer.”

Someone reported, “Judging from the current situation, we can expand the search area, or we can only go to His Majesty and borrow the Heaven Artifact to aid the search.”

“Heaven Artifact…”

Aili immediately calmed down and fell into deep thought. The so-called Heaven Artifacts were items affiliated to the ancestors in the legends.

In the legends, the ancestors were revered as gods and possessed incredible power. And those items affiliated with them also possessed all sorts of incredible power because they had come into contact with the gods.

These items were collectively known as the Heaven Artifacts, which were the greatest foundation of this world. These items were often in the hands of various large families, either royal or noble families.

There was also one in the Violet Empire, which was regarded as the strongest foundation of the Violet royal family, and would not be easily revealed to others.

As for this Heaven Artifact, Aili knew a little about it and understood its powerful functions. However, it was impossible to use such Heaven Artifact under normal circumstances.

Otherwise, a huge problem might arise if something were to go wrong. This last resort could only be used when the empire was on extinction.

Although Princess Aimer’s matter was important, it was obvious that it wasn’t at the point where such a reserve could be used. His father wouldn’t agree either.

“Let’s put aside the Heaven Artifact proposal for now. It’s not too late to discuss it later.”

Aili stood up. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “What about the Gilna Empire? Has there been any news?”

“No.”

Someone shook his head in denial. “After the news was sent back, there seemed to be people from the Gilna Empire who went out to explore, but until now, they haven’t discovered anything like us.”

“How troublesome.”

Aili sat down and reached out to rub his forehead. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a headache. He was engaged to Princess Aimer, which was quite important to him.

In the past, this marriage could be successful because he and the forces behind him had also put in a lot of effort to accomplish this finally.

Under normal circumstances, if they could get married, it would be a matter of more than just between them.
