CHAPTER 329
Facing Ancient One for the second time, Lin Rui felt more cramped and nervous than the first time. Ancient One still has a smile and sullen expression on his face, but Lin Rui, who has just felt Ancient One’s power can no longer face it so easily.
“Thank you for coming, Mirage Knight. I would also like to thank you and Mr. Stark for your help last time. If you didn’t find the anomaly and isolate the area in the first place, there might have been some unnecessary injuries.” While Lin Rui was still staring at him, Ancient One said as he took two steps towards the center of the room.
Huh ~
Walking to the ground in the middle of the room, Ancient One sat down.
“Uh … that’s what we should do. And, we didn’t actually do anything.” Lin Rui could not understand Ancient One’s intention when he heard his word so he could only say this.
“Come and sit, don’t be so restrained.” Ancient One sat down and saw that Lin Rui was still standing there and invited him to sit down.
“Mirage Knight, please.” After the greeting from Ancient One, Yun Meng standing in front of Lin Rui, smiled and came over and reached out with her hand.
“Oh! Good! Thank you!” Lin Rui quickly responded after seeing Yun Meng’s actions.
Huh ~
After a few steps, Lin Rui sat down opposite to Ancient One and he was almost completely recovered at this time. He discovered that Rick and David who came with him had left. However, Lin Rui doesn’t care too much about these things now.
After Lin Rui sat down, Yun Meng poured him a cup of tea. He didn’t speak again, but Ancient One took the cup in front of him and took a sip.
“Thank you.” Thanking Yun Meng, Lin Rui politely raised his cup and took a sip.
The warm tea made Lin Rui feel warmer all over his body and the taste of the tea was also very fragrant. Anyway, it should be the best tea that Lin Rui has had in his lifetime.
“Yun Meng, you go back first. I have to talk to Mirage Knight separately.” After seeing Yun Meng pouring Lin Rui a cup of tea, Ancient One suddenly spoke.
After hearing the Ancient One, Yun Meng’s eyebrows frowned slightly as she did not expect Ancient One to tell her to go. Yun Meng, as the most talented sorcerer under Ancient One, is also the most trusted person of Ancient One. There is very little that Ancient One does not let her know. However, despite some confusion, Yun Meng nodded and stood up silently.
Looking at the beauty leaving the room, Lin Rui could only watch silently. In the end, only Lin Rui and Ancient One remained in the room. Ancient One was smiling from the beginning and Lin Rui couldn’t guess what Ancient One would say now. So he can only wait.
Huh ~
As Lin Rui waited in silence for Ancient One to speak, the tea in the cup in front of him rippled in front of him.
“Mirage Knight, you are not of this world. Are you?” Just as Lin Rui’s gaze was looking at the cup of tea in front of him, the voice of Ancient One came over again, calm as if he was speaking about an unimportant matter.
…
Lin Rui: “!!!”
Ancient One’s tone didn’t change. Although Lin Rui did not look up at Ancient One, he could also guess that Ancient One must be smiling at this time. However, the sudden words of Ancient One made Lin Rui stiffen.
Although it was a question, but in Lin Rui’s ear, it was an affirmative. Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of the earth knew that he was not a person of this world! His biggest secret was directly seen in front of the Ancient One! This was the only thing Lin Rui could think of at this time, and it was the reason why he was so rigid.
Huh ~
There was another breeze and Lin Rui’s stiff body slowly recovered to normal. Then, Lin Rui raised his head slowly.
“Ancient One, do you really need me to answer this question?” Lin Rui looked calmly at the Ancient One in front of him and asked.
Now that his biggest secret has been seen through, Lin Rui did not plan to lie anymore. With Tony, Lin Rui can play dumb. After all, Tony can’t know his secret and he can’t do anything to himself. But the Ancient One is obviously different. As the Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One revealed his greatest secret when he sees himself. Lin Rui doesn’t feel the need to play dumb.
“Oh, you are very calm. Well, take off your protective clothing, which has some shielding effect. It won’t do you any good in front of me.” Seeing Lin Rui’s calm attitude, Ancient One was slightly surprised but didn’t mind, and then he spoke to Lin Rui.
“Faced with the Sorcerer Supreme, being calm or not doesn’t really matter!” With a bitter smile on his face, Lin Rui answered as he had put away the Phantom Suit.
Huh ~
In front of the Ancient One, Lin Rui’s Phantom Suit faded quickly and finally all contracted and disappeared into the wristband in Lin Rui’s left hand. Then Lin Rui’s slightly immature face that had not yet fully opened appeared in front of the Ancient One.
The moment he saw Lin Rui’s real face, Ancient One, who was still very calm and smiling, still showed a clear unexpected look. Phantom Suit’s shielding of spiritual power really can’t stop the Sorcerer Supreme like Ancient One, but Ancient One didn’t fully see the young face under that mask before.
“How old are you this year? Eighteen?” Staring at Lin Rui’s face for a few seconds, Ancient One finally asked.
“Almost seventeen, but is there anything important about this?” Ancient One asked such a question, but Lin Rui answered it honestly.
“Seventeen, you are really young! But, as you said, it really doesn’t matter.” After hearing the answer from Lin Rui, Ancient One said with some emotion in his voice.
Speaking of which, Lin Rui doesn’t know Ancient One’s age, but at least he is already over a hundred years old. Although these sorcerers’ lives are much older than ordinary humans, Ancient One is now considered an advanced age and it is unknown how many years he can live. Therefore, Ancient One was impressed to see that Lin Rui was so young and had such strength.
“So, Ancient One, can you tell me how do you know? About me, how did you know that I am not a person of this World.” Lin Rui just wants to know how Ancient One knew that he didn’t belong in this world. After all, Lin Rui doesn’t think that he has shown any flaws.
Hearing Lin Rui’s words, the Ancient One’s eyes, which were still a little bit emotional, suddenly became sharper as he looked at Lin Rui.
“Your soul doesn’t belong to this world.” As Lin Rui was once again looking stiff, Ancient One gave an answer.
