Chapter 1586 Secrets
Recently, many high-ranking figures from Sersorn have been visiting me.

Since it was not for commercial purposes, the contact was not made through Helian Rongjin, but through official channels and the Noah.

The group included high-ranking officials, core members of the Sentinel Association, and leaders of top conglomerates and aristocratic families. The average level was 2S or higher, with two even reaching 3S level.

Lin Fan initially assumed that the Sersorn government and the Sentinel Association were up to something again, deliberately sending these highly skilled Sentinels to exert pressure in a covert manner. However, during their conversation, they both, intentionally or unintentionally, brought up Lu Shi again.

It's not surprising that the sentry brought a guide.

Even though Lu Shi is exceptionally talented, he is still a newcomer to the White Tower, in the learning stage, and is "useless".

To conceal her identity, Bai Ta didn't even reveal her name in the public media. The outside world only knew her as a child with S-class guide talent who had been stranded on a garbage planet.

Guides of S rank or higher are indeed rare. But they are far from enough to attract the attention of a group of high-ranking 2S and 3S level sentinels. Normally, one would need to be at least 2S rank and have some reputation to deserve such attention.

Lu Shi, this clueless little girl, is clearly not qualified.

Anything abnormal is a sign of evil.

Lin Fan immediately thought of the mysterious person Song Lu had picked up.

However, as the number of visitors increased, this hypothesis was quickly overturned.

The Starry Sky System could not find any information on the civilian Star Network, so out of caution, Lin Fan found Helian Rongjin.

As a local of Sersorn and a 3S-class Sentinel, his status and position made it much easier for him to obtain information than for the outsider Noah.

“There is a connection,” Helian Rongjin said slowly. “Because it involves some old secrets, the relevant past has long been completely erased from the civilian network. In fact, this group of people were once brothers by marriage.”

"In-laws?" Antonio exclaimed. "You mean the husbands of the same wife? Like Karen and Warwick?"

“Yes.” Helian Rongjin nodded. “They used to belong to the same sentry family, but due to… certain changes, they separated from their original family and later each formed new families.”

"You can get divorced here?" Antonio asked curiously. "I thought this complicated relationship meant we were bound together for life."

“Of course they can get divorced,” Helian Rongjin explained. “It’s just that due to the special nature of the union, in reality, very few people actually get divorced. Because in most cases, the union between the sentries is actually a binding of interests, which is not easily broken. The higher up the hierarchy, the more intricate the interests involved, and the stronger the relationship.”

"Then..." Antonio wanted to ask more, but Lin Fan covered his mouth with his hand.

"The time they left their original families, it couldn't have been exactly fourteen years ago, because their wives were traitors, could it?" Lin Fan asked.

Helian Rongjin was taken aback: "How did you know?"

The traitors are a hidden pain in the Sersorn Starfield, involving many people. He originally didn't intend to mention it, but he didn't expect Lin Fan to know about it.

Looking at Antonio and Cen Fangyuan's expressions, they were clearly not surprised; they both knew!
“Are you stupid? You’re not the only one here to spy on us…” Antonio pushed Lin Fan’s hand away, looking smug.

Helian Rongjin looked at the calm-looking group of people and, recalling the shock he felt when he first heard the news, felt even more that the people on the Noah were unfathomable. He dared not hide anything from them anymore.

"Since you all know, there's no need for me to hide it anymore."

"Isolde was once the most dazzling 3S guide in the star field. Her healing power was extraordinary, and her husbands were all top elites. They were once a top-level strong sentinel family that everyone in the star field envied and praised."

"Not only was she exceptionally capable, but she also single-handedly elevated the status of the entire guide community, becoming its leader at one point. In those years, due to her influence, the proportion of guides in the official system was far higher than it is now, at one point even rivaling that of the sentries..."

"She sounds like a great pioneer," Lin Fan commented casually. "Given her status and position, what need did she have to betray the planet?" "It's obvious that she threatened other people's interests. Betraying the planet is just a respectable excuse, isn't it?" Jin Sichen's voice came from behind.

"Is the number correct?" Lin Fan asked as he approached.

"No problem." Jin Sichen nodded, then turned to Cen Fangyuan and said, "I've sent you the details, and also copied Cui Yan. I've packed everything up in a sealed box; you can arrange the follow-up."

"Thank you." Cen Fangyuan smiled and turned to walk to the table.

Jin Sichen waved his hand, walked to the sofa, and kicked Antonio, who was sitting on the floor: "Get up."

Antonio turned his head and saw Jin Sichen plop down on the sofa. Not to be outdone, he got up and squeezed onto the sofa. Seeing Jin Sichen staring intently at Helian Rongjin across from him, he knew this wasn't the time to argue. He crossed his arms, raised his chin, and looked back at Helian Rongjin. His pent-up anger was directed at Helian Rongjin.

"You can't stand seeing others succeed, so you try to pin this kind of blame on them. You Sentinels are really shameless!"

Helian Rongjin looked displeased, then awkwardly touched the tip of his nose: "Well, there's no clear evidence pointing to this, so don't make baseless accusations..."

"Alright, alright! You've wiped away all the evidence over the years, and now you just say whatever you want!" Antonio interrupted impatiently. "Who has the patience to listen to your nonsense? Let's get down to business."

Helian Rongjin was displeased, but there was nothing he could do. He could only pause, calm his anger, look at Lin Fan, and continue:

"The crime of treason is extremely serious, but due to Isolde's reputation and achievements, the authorities did not put her in prison. Instead, she was placed under house arrest by her husbands. Although her freedom was restricted, she was not subjected to any mistreatment or torture. However, she still escaped and stole a starship to fly out of Plyme. This was the key reason why the authorities pinned the crime of treason on her."

"Her men were subjected to a thorough investigation and accountability, and soon after, they publicly announced the dissolution of their marriage with Isolde and went their separate ways. Betraying a planet is a sensitive and taboo crime, and the person involved fled and was not caught for a long time... In short, the relevant traces were gradually erased, and to this day, few people mention it anymore."

Everyone knows that the guides of Thersorn are weak and frail, and they are always accompanied by a large group of sentries when they go out, for fear that they might bump into something or get hurt.

But then, a ruthless individual like Isolde appeared and managed to escape despite being heavily guarded by top-tier sentinels!
If word gets out, will the Sentinels lose all face? It's a disgrace to Thersorn!

So the higher-ups deliberately blocked the news, and the lower-ups kept quiet about it. Before long, this shocking secret was overshadowed by other emerging news and completely buried by time.

"It's hard to imagine," Lin Fan said thoughtfully.

She suspected that Isolde's escape might be orchestrated by her husbands. But even if a guide successfully escapes Plyme in a starship, does he truly possess the ability to survive independently in interstellar space?

It wasn't that Lin Fan underestimated the female guide; it was simply that the interstellar environment was far too dangerous. Natural disasters, interstellar bandits, supply lines, starship maintenance—each of these was enough to trap a lone traveler.

The Noah is such a large ship, and it is only because of the presence of a full complement of personnel with their respective duties that it has been able to sail safely to this day.

Even with Lin Fan's current cultivation level and the addition of the Star Mech, he wouldn't dare to pilot a starship across the star field alone.

Moreover, Isolde has always been pampered and has little experience in wilderness survival or interstellar travel, aside from healing.

She was able to steer the starship out, mostly thanks to its autopilot system.

From a genius guide leader revered by thousands to a traitor despised by all, Lin Fan could not imagine Isolde's mental journey.

But thinking of how she decisively escaped under the watchful eyes of a group of top-tier Sentinels, fled the Starship from Prim, faced pursuit across the entire star system, safely gave birth to Lu Shi, and left the child safely in FW-73, where he has grown up healthy to this day...

Such ability overturned Lin Fan's stereotype of guides, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for her, even having the idea of ​​getting to know this legendary woman.

"Wait a minute!" She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at her companions beside her. "They are Isolde's ex-husbands, and they've all come to show concern..."

Is it Lu Shi's biological father who is looking for someone?
Where did the news about Ke Lu Shi come from?
