The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

Jinghe Ashaji's face turned pale when she heard this.

"Also, after I solved the problem your sister had, the first thing she thought of was to conceal the fact that she had awakened, instead of notifying you to thank me. Don't you think that's unreasonable?"

"unreasonable?"

"So, how do you think your sister will be safe?"

Luo Shu finally thought of a possibility that he had never considered before. "To be honest, if it weren't for Shenxue's unusual behavior, I probably wouldn't have thought of this possibility."

"Possibility...you mean..."

"An insider." Luo Shu sighed. "Let me put it this way. I actually never thought about it in this direction before, but now your sister's actions have made me realize this possibility."

"How is this possible? Wasn't she kidnapped?"

"Yes, your sister was indeed kidnapped, but the timing was too coincidental."

Luo Shu sorted out his thoughts and said, "Besides, I didn't say she was the real traitor."

"What do you mean?" Jinghe Ashaji was completely confused. "Mr. Luo, could you please explain yourself more clearly?"

"Let me put it this way. Your sister followed you because she was actually bewitched by the real traitor."

"You mean, Mr. Luo wasn't the only one who noticed that I left the mansion and acted on my own?"

"Do you think your sister is stronger than you and can hide from the elf guards Princess Alice has placed outside the Jinghe Mansion?"

"...I understand." Jinghe Ashaji's pupils constricted slightly when she heard this. "No wonder you received the news that my sister was kidnapped."

"Yes, since your sister was able to evade the security outside the Jinghe Mansion just like you, there's no reason why she would be easily caught up by Princess Alice's men later."

Luo Shu sighed, "After all, the time is too tight."

"Indeed." Although Jinghe Asaji didn't want to admit it, when she thought of her sister's previous remarks, she was silent for a while, and then she realized that the time between her encounter with the clone Long and the time when her sister was kidnapped was too short.

"You were attacked, and then your sister was kidnapped."

Luo Shu added, "Do you remember how long it took you and I to rush to the place where your sister disappeared?"

"It seems like less than half an hour?"

"Is it really less than half an hour?"

Luo Shu asked back, "Don't forget, I provided you with the convenience of aerial maneuvering. Otherwise, by the time we arrived at the scene, your sister might have already been subjected to the same demonic transformation as your fiancé."

"Is there a time difference?"

"Ms. Jinghe should have realized she'd been tricked." Luo Shu looked at Jinghe Ashaji, lost in thought. "Now, you should understand the problem. That's the time it takes to transform your body into a demon. Remember the Nomad facility we discovered when we rescued your sister?"

"Are you saying that my sister is fine because the incident happened so suddenly that Nomad didn't have time to take action?"

"After all, your sister and you share the same bloodline," Luo Shu shrugged. "I guess Nomad had two plans. The first one was aimed at you, and the executor was Long, the clone who first kidnapped your fiancé."

"What about the second plan?"

"The second plan was probably passed on to your sister by the real insider after they discovered Princess Alice had sealed off Jinghe Mansion. To avoid any accidents, this insider was the mastermind behind it. This mastermind was most likely the one who moved your sister away from Jinghe Mansion that night, causing the security around your fiancé to be compromised."

"But how can the other party be sure that I will act on my own?"

"It's simple, because they understand you." Luo Shu mercilessly pierced Jinghe Asaki's last shred of fantasy. "You yourself said that you retired from Taimanin for a while, and the reason was when your fiancé proposed to you and the Nomad forces were expelled from Fuso, right?"

"That's true, but what does this have to do with Kyousuke being kidnapped?"

"Ms. Jinghe, think carefully. You agreed to return to the Taimanin Squadron and serve as the captain. Who should be the most anxious?"

Luo Shu asked a question that Jinghe Ashaji had not realized, which made her confused for a moment.

"Not to mention, Miss Jinghe's universally recognized title of the strongest Taimanin is the key to maintaining the Taimanin's external deterrent power. And why did Nomad lie dormant for so long that he deliberately chose to launch a surprise attack against you so soon after you gave up your retirement?"

"Mr. Luo, is it because Nomad didn't choose to take action during my retirement that there was another reason?"

"Of course, Ms. Jinghe, the title of the strongest Taimanin is only effective if you are still serving in the Mannin Squadron."

Luo Shu looked at Jinghe Ashaji, who seemed to have not yet realized the true nature of the matter. He could only explain in as much detail as possible, "And once the fact that you, the strongest Taimanin, have been captured by Nomad is revealed, what do you think will happen to the Taimanin Squadron?"

"The Fuso government will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble."

"That's right. Your existence is the key to the Taimanin Squadron's control. If you give up retirement and return to the Taimanin Squadron to serve as captain again, but encounter Nomad's plan and fail, do you think you can still regain control of the Taimanin headquarters in Aokigahara Forest?"

"Mr. Luo, what you're saying is that the real intention of the inner demon is to deprive the Taimanin Headquarters of their independence from the constraints of secular law?"

"I think that when Nomad voluntarily withdrew from Fuso and fled to the Lighthouse Nation, it wasn't to avoid its attack. On the contrary, it was to gain a greater advantage in the secular world. The Fuso government at the time seemed more willing to win over the Taimanin Squadron."

"But……"

"Ms. Jinghe, the truly terrifying thing about Nomad isn't their hidden power. When the Demon Realm passage in the Aokigahara Forest was always controlled by the Taimanin Squadron, and when the Fuso government and the Taimanin Squadron reached a cooperation agreement, the Demon Realm was at a disadvantage. The best strategy was naturally to preserve the manpower that had so hard to infiltrate the New World."

"Preserve the living forces?" Jinghe Ashaji was completely stunned when she heard this. "In other words, when Nomad found that he couldn't gain a foothold in the mysterious side of Fusang, he chose to start from the secular side?"

"You must know the relationship between the Lighthouse Country and Fuso."

"I see."

Jinghe Ashaji said nothing more after hearing this. She seemed to feel that the fog that had shrouded her eyes had dissipated.

Chapter 69: Knocking

"Okay, now please ask Miss Jinghe to go upstairs and invite your sister down."

Luo Shu didn't care whether Jinghe Ashaji really understood or not, and said, "I should take you back."

"I understand." Jinghe Ashaji understood that Luo Shu felt disgusted because of her sister's reckless behavior, so she didn't continue to ask.

Luo Shu watched the slender figure of the strongest Taimanin disappear around the corner of the stairs, then shifted his gaze to Yotsuba Miyuki. "Miyuki, since you noticed what Igawa Sakura was doing, why didn't you just warn me?"

"Master, I was wrong."

"Forget it, since you've frightened them, you might as well take advantage of the situation and put some pressure on them."

Luo Shu rubbed his brows with a headache, "After all, I didn't expect that she would even dare to deceive her own sister."

"In that case, why doesn't the master just lock them up in this world?"

"The Jinghe sisters are at least the top fighters of the Taimanin Squadron. If anything happens to them, the Taimanin Squadron will most likely become a mess."

Luo Shu accepted the tea that Yotsuba Miyuki had brewed and stated his plan, "I don't want a sword like the Taimanin Squadron to fall into the control of the Fuso government or Princess Alice and the others."

"Hasn't the relationship between Master and Princess Alice already progressed?" Yotsuba Miyuki still lacked a sense of the overall situation, so she couldn't quite understand Luo Shu's actions. "Wouldn't it be better to just do her a favor?"

"Alice is Alice, and Princess Alice is Princess Alice. The two identities are different."

"I see."

While the master and servant, Luo Shu and Yotsuba Miyuki, were whispering to each other, Jinghe Asaki went upstairs and met her sister who had already woken up.

"elder sister."

"Sakura, why are you doing this?"

"I..." Jinghe Yinghua was unable to defend herself, "I'm just curious."

"So what's the result?"

"I was wrong." Jinghe Yinghua sighed, "I didn't expect this building to have a barrier."

"Let's go."

Jinghe Ashaji sighed helplessly when she heard this, "Come with me to meet my savior."

Jinghe Yinghua stopped talking and followed her sister silently.

By the time the Jinghe sisters returned to the living room, Luo Shu and Yotsuba Miyuki had also finished their conversation.

"Please take a seat, both of you." Luo Shu looked at the two sisters coming together and nodded to Yotsuba Miyuki. "Miyuki, serve the tea."

After hearing what Luo Shu said, the Jinghe sisters could only find a place to sit down nervously.

After Yotsuba Miyuki had served tea to both of them, Luo Shu spoke softly, "You two, don't you want to say anything?"

"Sakura..." Jinghe Asaji naturally understood that Luo Shu said this to give her and her sister a way out, but she found that her sister had not yet realized his intention, so she quickly reminded her, "You should thank Mr. Luo quickly."

Luo Shu didn't expect Jinghe Ashaji to have such high EQ, and his eyebrows raised slightly.

Jinghe Yinghua quickly followed her sister's instructions and said, "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for saving me."

"I thought you would say sorry." Luo Shu said with a hint of meaning. Seeing the two women's embarrassed faces, he sighed, "Forget it, Ashaji, since your sister has woken up, I will send you back first."

"I understand." Jinghe Ashaji knew that Luo Shu had ordered them to leave. "Then Yinghua and I will not bother Mr. Luo anymore."

"Yeah." Luo Shu was no longer interested in conquering the Jinghe sisters. He took out two wooden plaques from his pocket and said, "Here."

"This is?"

Jinghe Sakura subconsciously took the wooden sign and subconsciously wanted to ask, but was stopped by Jinghe Ashaji's eyes.

"Send the certificate." Luo Shu had no intention of explaining. "Close your eyes and count down to ten."

"I understand." Jinghe Yinghua knew that her previous actions had completely annoyed Luo Shu, "I will be obedient."

"Miyuki, I'll take them back first. I'll leave this place to you."

"I understand." Yotsuba Miyuki nodded slightly when she heard that.

"You two, hold onto my arms." Luo Shu stood up from the sofa and walked to the center of the living room. "Then, remember what I said and count silently for ten seconds before opening your eyes."

Upon hearing this, the Jinghe sisters looked at each other and chose to follow Luo Shu's instructions.

After sending the two sisters back to the derivative world, he deliberately chose to send them directly back to the vicinity of Jinghe Mansion.

When Jinghe Ashaji discovered that Luo Shu actually sent them directly back to Jinghe Mansion, although she was full of curiosity, she finally gave up asking questions when she saw that Luo Shu was in a bad mood.

Jinghe Yinghua had never experienced traveling through time and space, so she was completely unaware of her sister's abnormality.

Luo Shu discovered that the two sisters seemed to have developed a sense of awe towards him, and he felt a little secretly happy in his heart.

However, his face remained expressionless and cold, and he turned and left without saying a word.

When Luo Shu disappeared into the dark night, Jinghe Yinghua saw that her sister was silent. She finally couldn't help but speak out of curiosity, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, let's go back and rest."

"But what about those elves outside?"

"Don't worry about them." Jinghe Asaji thought of Luo Shu's previous action of escorting her to Yunqu Mountain, and seemed to have realized something.

However, she knew that she could not tell her sister about her discovery for the time being.

Because Jinghe Ashaji discovered that when Luo Shu met her sister, she only asked her to say thank you, not to apologize, and did not expose the fact that the other party was a traitor. Even if this traitor was fake and was calculated by the real traitor, it could not cover up the fact that her sister betrayed her.

Hey, Sakura, I hope you won’t take any chances.

Jinghe Ashaji has already understood why Luo Shu did not reveal the fact that he had discovered that Jinghe Sakura was a "traitor".

Fishing always requires bait.

Of course, more importantly, she also wanted to see when her sister would come to her senses.

After Luo Shu confirmed that he would not be witnessed by the two sisters, he immediately teleported back to the Sky Island world.

He originally thought he could eat a lot of meat tonight, but because of Jinghe Yinghua's sudden situation, he had to give up.

"Miyuki, come back with me to the apartment in the other world."

"Master, won't you sleep here?"

"Sky Island World currently doesn't have a day-night cycle system, and I have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."

Of course Luo Shu also wanted to rest like this, but he was worried that he would not be able to get up tomorrow morning.

"Going to school?" Yotsuba Miyuki was stunned for a moment. "Master, do you have this hobby?"

"Isn't it possible?" Luo Shu walked up to Yotsuba Miyuki in a bad mood, looking down at her. "Don't you want to experience school life?"

"If it means going to school with the master, of course I would like to."

"That's fine. I'll let Alice arrange it for you later." Luo Shu said, lowering his head and kissing the girl's delicate and tempting lips. After a few minutes, he was satisfied and took her back to Qianying Apartment in the derivative world.

Chapter 70: Yotsuba Miyuki Becomes a Woman

Luo Shu returned to Qianying Apartment, looked at the time, and found that there were only more than four hours left before dawn.

"Miyuki?"

"Master, I am here."
