Path Of The Lilies 273 Staged Play

When Lu Wan heard the man speak, his eyes widened.

"Oath of Promise?" Chen Tian furrowed his brows. There were so many types of oaths that he couldn't remember them all. As many of them didn't exist in the Four Kingdoms, he never heard of that oath.

The Advisor nodded. "Oath of Promise is the oath made when you want to protect someone. This is usually used by mercenaries for their employees to make sure that they do their job well. During this period of time, those who are still under Oath of Promise won't be able to say their Oath of loyalty to anyone because the Heavens didn't accept it."

"There's something like that?"

"Yes." The advisor looked at Lu Wan with a deep and unreadable gaze. The boy was extremely simple-minded, which should have been impossible for him to think of something so complex like this. He was thinking that someone must have helped this boy.

It seemed that the seemingly ordinary young boy actually hid so deep.

Looking at the advisor's gaze, Lu Wan could feel gooseb.u.mps crawling on top of his skin. He didn't know why, but he felt that the most dangerous person in the entire Four Kingdoms was not the king, but this advisor. It was a weird feeling and Lu Wan didn't entertain his thoughts for long because the others had begun to speak again.

"Is there a way to break Oath of Promise?"

"Normally no. You should wait for the time to be over."

Wait? Chen Tian was not in a hurry. He had all the time in the entire world to wait for Lu Wan to bow down or just become a trash that was unable to reach any higher. Whichever one of them didn't hurt his interest in the slightest bit.

Chen Tian s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to Lu Wan. "He's quite cunning."

Lu Wan didn't reply even though there was no longer any pressure around him. He was looking at the advisor as he recalled their discussion about the plan not long ago. Even though Qi Huan and Ye Jiao were against his idea at first, they agreed at the end.

However, there was not a guarantee that he wouldn't get hurt in the middle of the process because of the plan that he proposed.

…

*A few hours before*

"Hold on, Yu Shui. Are you telling me that you'll willingly surrender yourself to the Imperial Family?" Ye Jiao stopped Lu Wan from telling his plan. She was so surprised that she forgot to greet him formally.

Lu Wan nodded his head. "You say it yourself, right? The defense in the Imperial Family will be lessened because of the departure of the geniuses. With the lesser number of guards, I don't think it'll be impossible to infiltrate the palace anymore."

At normal times, even thinking of getting into the palace without anyone suspicious of them would be ridiculous. There were numerous guards there and everyone who came in and out would be inspected. Lu Wan had seen them for himself when he was summoned to meet with the other geniuses, so he was pretty familiar with it.

Ye Jiao looked at Lu Wan with an incredulous expression. "Do you really think that it'll be that easy? Even with a lesser number of guards, there's no guarantee that they'll let you in without inspecting anything."

"Well, I just thought that it's more feasible."

If Lu Wan got captured, they would surely open up the gate and no longer tried to restrict it. Also, with Wei Shang out of the picture, there were only two Eon Energy Master Rank 3 that they had to face. It still wouldn't be good to face them two head on, but if they attacked the palace, there would only need to face one.

"Do you want to court death?" Ye Jiao was speechless.

Lu Wan smiled bitterly. "Well, we can also try to wait in the capital city for a long time until they forgot about my existence…"

"That won't do."

"Absolutely no."

The two of them planned to head back to Bao Fu Organization's Headquarters right after they had finished the mission because they suspected something from their master. Staying here for weeks was clearly out of the question.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Lu Wan wanted to cry. He felt that he had just dragged everyone into a mess. This time, he felt that his luck didn't work at all to clean up the mess that he had created.

Qi Huan rubbed his chin as he pondered. There were many things that he still had to put into his mind when they were about to plan for something so grand. Attacking the palace was indeed possible.

However, he didn't want to go over there just to die.

"I have one question, what's your father usually do?"

"Huh? I think he'll be away to have some rest. When I met with him before, he looked dead tired," Lu Wan replied. His tone showed that he didn't have much care for his father. However, he still could remember how his father looked like when he met with that man not long ago.

For Eon Energy Master, they would have a much higher stamina compared to ordinary people. As one that had reached rank 3, even if that person didn't sleep for days, he would be fine. However, there was still a limit at how much his stamina could hold. He still needed to have rest.

"They overworked him."

"That's for sure."

The two of them looked at Lu Wan as they felt pity for those people who were working so hard just to look for this young man. They spent months unable to find him because he was actually outside Chen Kingdom Capital City. Not even his own father was spared from the task of finding him to the point that Eon Energy Maser Rank 4 was dead tired.
