Chapter 235 - Meeting With Lashar

Chapter 235: Meeting With Lashar

“Wait! Let Herken lead your way. It would be a problem if someone offended you due to not knowing your identity.”

When Yale was about to leave, Lar’s grandfather suddenly thought about that. If someone offended Yale, it would only end with that person crippled or dead; if that happened to a traitor was alright, but if it were a proper member who just didn’t know who Yale was, there would be a tragedy.

“Alright, but our conversation will be private. Herken will just lead the way and then turn back.”

Lar’s grandfather sighed in relief after hearing Yale’s words.

“Lar, you stay here and help my new disciple.”

Yale knew that Lar would also want to go, but he thought that with her current personality it was better if she stayed behind.

Lar just nodded in reply; she wanted to go with Yale, but she also knew that Liye had given a lot of importance to his disciples, so the fact that Yale was asking her to take care of his newest disciple wasn’t that bad and showed that he trusted her.

Yale didn’t stop in all his way towards the center of Larken City, and luckily Herken was with him because an outsider walking by the streets like if he was in his own house attracted too much attention.

Herken had received a special token from Lar’s grandfather indicating that he was in an important mission to the clan and shouldn’t be interrupted, so as long he was with Yale, no one would dare to stop them. Any elder who was at the Grandmaster Rank could give one of those tokens every ten years, and they indicated how much importance such elder put into the mission.

In fact, those traitors used the same token to force those in the outside clan to that mission-disguised trap. Everyone trusted the mission blindly thanks to that token. After all, no one would expect that an elder at the Grandmaster Rank would be a traitor.

All elders were far too stingy in using such tokens because the limit they had in using them. Usually, unless it a matter of extreme importance happened, they wouldn’t use them. However, Lar’s grandfather used it without a second thought since even the clan head had given so much importance to Yale.

Lar’s grandfather didn’t know who was that Sword God mentioned by the clan head. However, he was sure that Yale obtained a powerful legacy and by the words of the clan head, it was related to the Sword God that at the same time had some relationship with the clan founder.

After two hours, Yale finally reached the restricted area where only the clan head and those with her permission could enter.

Yale crossed the barrier without any problem entering the outer garden of the mansion, but Herken was unable to do it. All the members of the Larken Clan had an identification token, and only the authorized tokens could pass the barrier.

However, Yale wasn’t affected by the barrier despite not owning a token, and it wasn’t due to Lashar’s orders to the barrier. That barrier had been put by Lar in her past life; she made sure that she and Yale could enter at any time, and that the barrier couldn’t stop them no matter the reason.

In fact, if it weren’t because Revgen also had the authorization to enter freely and he gave the clan head permissions to Lashar after the internal war of the Larken Clan, that area would have been impossible to access after Lar’s death.

Herken didn’t turn back after being stopped by the barrier; he just sat in a nearby place waiting until Yale exited.

Yale quickly walked across the garden and opened the door of the mansion.

“You came quicker than expected.”

Lashar was just at the entrance of the mansion when Yale crossed the door.

“Come with me, let’s sit and speak with calm.”

Yale followed her in silence until a well-decorated room with some chairs that looked very expensive.

“You already have some knowledge about those traitors, right?”

Lashar wasn’t overly surprised when she saw the previous scene with some members of the Larken Clan attacking others, so Yale thought that she already had some information about the topic.

“I knew that there were traitors inside Imperial City, but I only learned about them inside our clan when the man who came with you explained it to the elder who is in charge of him.”

Lashar didn’t know the names of most members of the Larken Clan; unless they had reached the Sage Rank or accomplished some incredible merit for the clan, she wouldn’t bother to learn their names.

“Then you should know that all the factions of the three guys of our group that didn’t return are traitors. Moreover, I doubt that they are the only ones. I can detect the others, but I need to be near them. I will need your help to do it.”

Cleaning the Larken Clan of traitors was the first step in Yale’s plan. After all, he wouldn’t be able to relax in a place surrounded by traitors that might try to kill him at any moment.

“Wait. Before saying anything else, I still want you to reply to my previous question about the Sword God. I understand that you didn’t reply to the question in public, but here we are alone.”

Lashar was very curious about that topic; she wondered why the Sword god had chosen a member of the Zhan Clan instead of one of the Larken Clan as inheritor.

Yale sighed as he knew that hiding the truth wouldn’t benefit him in that situation.

“This shall be our secret. I really don’t want to reveal this too much, but Revgen already knows it, and I will also need your help from now on. This sword is a soul-bound item; there is no way to be used by anyone who doesn’t have the original owner’s soul.”

Lashar knew about soul-bound items, so she was completely frozen when hearing Yale’s words. She was extremely good seeing through lies, and she could ensure that Yale was telling the truth or was the best liar in the world.

“You are…”

Before she could say anything else, Yale interrupted her.

“Don’t need to say it. I feel that is alright as long you understood the meaning of that. Now, do you understand why should I be treated as the founder?”

Lashar nodded; she might be a Law Master, but she had deep veneration towards the founders of the clan.

Before, she still had problems to treat Yale truly as the clan founder; given her status and power she wouldn’t bow or kneel in front of a young man like Yale, but after learning his true identity, her disposition changed completely.

She stood up from her chair and then kneeled in front of Yale.

“Following the orders of my ancestors, I recognize you as someone with the same status of the Larken Clan founder.”

She was an extremely prideful woman, but she was also someone with a huge sense of honor and felt ashamed because she hadn’t paid her respects earlier. If Yale had truly been just a legacy inheritor it would have been alright, but Yale was the reincarnation of her own ancestor, so she regretted her lack of modals before.

“Stand up. People will start to think that there happens something strange if they saw you.”

No matter if those were orders from the clan founder, no one would believe that Lashar kneeled towards a member of the younger generation for such reason; treating him better than the elders was already a lot.

There wasn’t anyone else in that mansion, but Yale felt that if that turned into a custom, someone would discover it someday.

“Understood. If I am allowed to ask, what relationship the Sword God had with the Zhan Clan?”

Even if Yale was a reincarnation and not a legacy inheritor, she still wanted to know why he was in the Zhan Clan instead of the Larken Clan. As for the fact that she learned that his soul was dissipating, she thought it was fake information to protect the secret of the reincarnation.

“The Sword God is the ancestor of the Larken Clan, the Zhan Clan, and the Kurk Clan.”

Lashar was surprised about that, but after thinking it a bit, it wasn’t that strange. Even herself had children with a lot of different powerful men and had her own harem, so the fact that the Sword God had three different lines of descendants didn’t seem too weird.

“I understand, the Sword God is really amazing. It is sad that all your women died with their souls dissipated. If you feel lonely I am ready to give my body to you; I am sure our children will have powerful bloodlines, and the Larken Clan will be benefited by it.”

Most men would have been tempted by a cold beauty starting to act in an alluring way, but Yale ignored her.

“Forget it. I am not interested. Moreover, although the other two are really dead, the founder of the Larken Clan is alive.”

Yale wanted to divert her attention quickly; he didn’t want to have any special relationship with a woman like Lashar. To her, Yale was the ancestor who helped the founder to create the Larken Clan, so she thought that if she managed to have some children with him, the Larken Clan would have another golden era.
