Upon hearing this, Bai Yan became excited.

Before I became stronger, you could do whatever you wanted to me; now that I'm stronger, you can still do whatever you want to me. So what was the point of me becoming stronger?

He smiled slightly and said, "Sister Rita is indeed exceptionally intelligent."

Rita laughed when she heard this.

There was no disappointment or surprise in his smile; on the contrary, he looked very happy.

"Xiao Yan really doesn't want to listen to me anymore, which makes Sister Rita a little sad."

"What?"

"Xiao Yan promised."

Bai Yan laughed even harder: "Sister Rita, why don't you think back? Were those promises made at that time and in that place really credible?"

Man, bed, midnight.

Rita thought to herself, "This kid actually dares to drive now. Time really flies..."

She stopped smiling, the joke was over, and her hand touched Bai Yan's face, examining him closely.

"Where have you been all this time? And how did Xiao Yan meet those two?"

"I told you, whatever you do, don't tell anyone, not even Bianca or Professor Ragnar."

Bai Yan suddenly turned around to check the outside of the door, then checked whether the door was locked from the inside, and then observed the room in various ways.

Finally, they were relieved to confirm that there were no eavesdropping devices.

"Oh? A secret that belongs only to the two of us? Hmm..."

Rita moved closer and touched him with her other hand.

"It doesn't seem to be just two people. Those two young ladies should know, right?"

"Well, for some reason, if it weren't for my master, I wouldn't have been able to beat the Herrscher of the Void at all."

"Moreover, they do not belong to this planet, and it was purely by chance that I met them."

Rita's body trembled slightly, but she immediately understood.

"I see……"

"It was accidental that I ended up on another planet, because this kind of authority is also granted randomly. After I injected the God-Slaying Spear into her body, I took the opportunity to leave within the imaginary space. After all, I was quite injured at that time, and I wanted to get away as soon as I had the chance, lest the Herrscher of the Void have the strength to strike me again..."

Bai Yan was telling the truth, only omitting the role that replaced Himeko in the original timeline, thus preventing any deviation from the truth.

Rita listened quietly, then took a long, deep breath.

Finally, she said, "Xiao Yan has exceeded expectations this time. As agreed at the beginning... is there any reward you'd like?"

Bai Yan paused, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.

The tone of that last sentence was too easy for him to overthink.

But looking closely at her expression, there was no particular hint.

But that night at St. Freya...

Just as Bai Yan was still lost in thought, Rita's face gradually drew closer, and they could almost see each other's eyelashes.

Then, his mouth was sealed shut again.

Caught off guard, Bai Yan didn't hold back with Rita and immediately launched into a verbal battle.

Rita's red pupils showed a moment of surprise, but she quickly recovered and let the guns and swords attack her.

The probing ended there. Bai Yan put his arm around Rita's slender waist, controlling her so that he could unleash his sword to its fullest potential.

The warm and humid environment is perfect for performing this sword technique.

Bai Yan took a few steps forward, pressing Rita against the wall, leaving her with no way to retreat.

Time flew by, and Rita gradually felt a bit short of breath, but Bai Yan showed no sign of stopping.

—Didn't Xiaoyan feel suffocated? This has been going on for far too long!

But the other person was so enthusiastic, and his hands were properly placed without wandering around, so Rita felt embarrassed to push him away, afraid that he might misunderstand.

So she had no choice but to endure it.

I have been patient.

Her brain began to send out warning signals, but she was unable to respond at that moment.

Only when her body began to weaken did Bai Yan stop his verbal sparring and look at her with a mocking expression.

A "#" appeared on Rita's forehead, almost imperceptibly.

"Rita, you're amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Rita almost laughed out of anger.

This child is really getting more and more demanding.

However, this way, most of her guilt was washed away.

"Really..."

The two looked at each other, their gazes growing warmer.

However, at that moment, a familiar voice broke the silence of the Destiny Headquarters.

"Durandal, come out and fight me one-on-one!"

Volume 1: Chapter 94: A Battle of Wits to Identify Treasure

Bai Yan paused only for a moment when he heard the familiar voice of the woman in the skirt, before continuing his wild and unrestrained conversation with Rita.

"Xiao Yan, could that voice be...?"

Because they were so close, Rita's breath warmed Bai Yan's cheek whenever she spoke.

She was now letting Bai Yan do as he pleased, but hearing this voice still made her feel that it was a bit wrong for the two of them to continue like this, so she asked.

“Someone has gone mad. We don’t need to worry about her. Bianca can handle things.”

As Bai Yan was speaking, he was about to take another step forward.

However, the strange voice of the Herald of Knowledge penetrated the soundproofing layer and reached everyone's minds.

"Yulandel, wait a moment. I have some personal matters to attend to. Let Bai Yan come out!"

Bai Yan's face darkened.

He stopped what he was doing, released Rita, whose face was slightly flushed, turned around and went straight to his room, grabbed a greatsword from the Throne of Gods, and rushed out.

"You're the Herald of Knowledge, huh? I'll make sure you become a Divine Key ahead of schedule!"

Step out of the building and arrive at the floating island.

At this moment, the Herald of Knowledge stood high on the top of the tower, hands on hips, strutting arrogantly.

The moment Bai Yan appeared, her eyes flashed with anger.

"Bai Yan, right? Last time you showed no sportsmanship and actually ambushed me, making it two against one. This time, I'll fight you fair and square and show you what I'm made of!"

She glanced at the greatsword in Bai Yan's hand, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Even Durandal herself wasn't afraid, let alone this young man.

However, a little provocation was enough to get him to come out on his own. It seems this kid's self-control is still lacking!

Bai Yan didn't act immediately, but instead glanced at Kiana without making a sound.

She was looking down and muttering to herself, but after repeating a few words, she stopped dejectedly, then frowned and looked at the Lawgiver of Knowledge with a puzzled expression.

Bai Yan withdrew his gaze.

"What, you didn't cause much damage last time, so you're retaliating this time because you're angry and embarrassed?"

"You—when did I ever lay a hand on those people?!"

"Do you want me to carry the wounded out and identify you, murderer?"

"Who's the murderer? Don't try to shift the blame!"

"I'm not Pigsy, I don't need a rake. You, the Honkai Apostle, are targeting the warriors who fight against Honkai right from the start. It seems necessary to slay the demon today."

Bai Yan unleashed a torrent of words, venting all his pent-up resentment without restraint.

Upon hearing this, the one who knew the law felt his blood rush to his head, so much so that it felt like his head was about to explode with anger.

However, she couldn't help but think back for a moment, and then her expression changed.

"No doubt about it, it shouldn't be like this! I've been controlling it very well!"

She suddenly looked up and stared at Bai Yan: "Who are you calling a Herrscher! You're so young! If this were a thousand years ago, you could kneel and kowtow three times and still not see me on Mount Taixu!"

"Oh ho, this is all you've got after living for a thousand years? Have you no shame? You've lived for over a thousand years at the Breakthrough Level, and you're already getting so angry at being tricked by a junior?!"

"You, you, you're only at the Breakthrough Level!"

"Then you've been tricked by the Assault class before."

"You despicable person, you schemed against me!"

"You're not even as good as a villain."

"Didn't anyone teach you about the traditions of China when you were a child? You don't even recognize this immortal! You've forgotten your roots!"

"An immortal? I think you're just a bunch of immortal blabbermouths! You can't even tell the front from the back of a mahjong tile!"

Upon hearing this, the Herrscher of Knowledge blushed, stammering "you" for a long time without being able to explain himself, as if he had been under a silent spell. He pointed at Bai Yan and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, she gave up on laning and immediately set up her formation to fight.

Bai Yan didn't stand on ceremony with her. The Luoshen Sword Technique arrived from the sky, with endless sword light first filling the sky, and then rapidly receding, leaving only a three-foot sword circle in front of her.

The Herald of Knowledge gradually revealed a fighting spirit, and with a flick of his wrist, an iron rod appeared in his hand, directly confronting the three-foot-long sword circle.

The energy of the two sides clashed, and the entire floating island of the Destiny Headquarters trembled uncontrollably.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Bai Yan felt his hands go numb from the shock, and seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge fighting with increasing ferocity, he immediately mocked, "Oh, why are you using a monkey's weapon? Was Mount Taixu called Flower Fruit Mountain before?"

"Then I'll treat you to peaches today!"

bump! !

The Lawbringer of Knowledge wielded the iron rod and struck with all his might, causing Bai Yan to stagger backward repeatedly.

Then she stood with the stick in her hand, one hand on her hip, and said smugly, "How about that? Are you scared?"

Bai Yan steadied himself and retorted, "I was quite scared. It was my first time playing mahjong, and I didn't know which tile to win with."

"Hmph, all talk and no action!"

As she spoke, she launched another attack, her anger surging.

Without any buffs or special abilities, he could only defend against the Herrscher of Knowledge, Shirohiko.

The Lawbringer also seemed unwilling to end the battle early, harboring the intention to thoroughly punish Bai Yan and exhaust him through a protracted war.

Why didn't you use your previous trick?

"I don't need that move to beat you up."

"I think you've lost confidence, haven't you? The same trick won't work the second time. It's a completely pointless move, hahaha."

Bai Yan remained silent, continuing to swing his greatsword.

He used only the Luoshen Sword Technique in this battle because when the Herrscher of Knowledge struck that blow, he felt that he had gained a new understanding of swordsmanship.

The heavy blow made Bai Yan realize something beyond pure violence.

Fu Hua's thousands of years of martial arts experience are now all in the Herrscher of Knowledge, making fighting her the perfect opportunity to use the Sharingan.

Those who understand the laws of nature are not very cunning; they will use all their good tricks and will never hide their talents.

Seizing this opportunity, Bai Yan decided to use it to make up for the critical moment when he was forcibly interrupted.

Fu Hua has guarded the land for over a thousand years, almost always overlooking the entire continent from Mount Taixu.
