Hero No. 1's Panic: You Are Her Uncle

Long Xingyu took a step forward, and the power of his domain silently spread out at that very moment.

At that instant, Hero No. 1 keenly sensed the aura as well.

"A domain?"

"Is a Ninth Tier Level 2 expert slowly approaching this place?"

A trace of anxiety flashed across Hero No. 1's impassive face. Normally, no powerful experts would come to a place like Odin Town.

If one had come, then given the current circumstances, it might mean Cai'er's identity had been exposed. A God's Chosen like the Reincarnation Saintess had many people eyeing her greedily!

Thus, Hero No. 1 immediately began searching for the nearby expert, looking for an opportunity to call for help. He knew that before a Domain Level existence, he had absolutely no chance of escaping!

However, Long Xingyu paid him no attention. Instead, he slowly walked over to Long Haochen. Looking at that devilishly handsome face, he activated his spiritual energy and lifted him into the air.

"The battle with the Wolf Demon just now broke quite a few bones in his body. Although Hero No. 1 cleared his twelve regular meridians, he has not fully recovered." Long Xingyu saw through everything at a glance.

Then, a dazzling power of light emerged from Long Xingyu's hand and was slowly injected into Long Haochen's body, healing his internal injuries.

Only then did Hero No. 1 recognize who the man was.

"Long Xingyu?"

"He is Long Xingyu?"

"The Knight Temple Master, wielder of the Doomsday and Slaughter Divine Seal Throne, the Godly Seal Knight of Judgment and Trial, Long Xingyu!"

"Why is he here?"

Hero No. 1 was utterly confused. He had never expected Long Xingyu to appear in a tiny place like Odin Town instead of remaining at Dragon Control Pass or seeking out Ananda for battle.

What was he planning to do here?

However, after realizing it was Long Xingyu, Hero No. 1 gradually relaxed.

He could be said to have watched Long Xingyu grow stronger. Although they were not particularly close, he understood Long Xingyu's character very well.

Moreover, the Knight Temple and Assassin Temple had always been on good terms.

Under such circumstances, Long Xingyu would be even less likely to learn of a genius from his temple and then secretly come to hunt and kill her!

That was not the Long Xingyu he knew.

There had to be some hidden reason!

Soon, after finishing Long Haochen's treatment, Long Xingyu gently lowered him. By then, Long Haochen had already fallen into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

Long Xingyu then turned toward Hero No. 1 and Cai'er.

"Xingyu... Temple Master Xingyu, why are you here?" Hero No. 1 asked uneasily. Then, looking at Long Haochen, he suddenly asked in confusion, "What is your relationship with this child?"

"I am his father." Long Xingyu did not evade the question and merely explained calmly.

"What?" Hero No. 1 was dumbfounded.

He knew that Long Xingyu had a spouse, but she had always remained secluded within the Knight Temple and had never appeared outside. There had been endless speculation about it, and while Hero No. 1 had not deliberately looked into the matter, he had still learned a little from all the talk.

But he had never expected Long Xingyu to have a son, and for that son to be in a backwater place like Odin Town.

In that instant, countless dramatic scenarios played out in Hero No. 1's mind.

Long Xingyu, however, did not care about his reaction.

Instead, he turned to Cai'er. After watching her for a moment, he softly said, "Reincarnation."

This made Hero No. 1's scalp tingle. He knew!

So he knew that Cai'er was the Reincarnation Saintess?

This...

Hero No. 1 suddenly did not know how to put it into words.

What he least expected was for Long Xingyu to slowly walk toward them. And his target truly was not Hero No. 1, but Saint Cai'er behind him.

This made Hero No. 1's scalp tingle even more.

He realized that he could not move.

Even though Long Xingyu was not targeting him, it was still the same.

Soon, Long Xingyu arrived before Cai'er. He reached out and patted her head, asking, "This child is that brat Lingxin's daughter, isn't she?"

Normally, whenever someone touched Cai'er, she would immediately resist. And the Reincarnation Qi of a Reincarnation God's Chosen allowed her to fear no imposing presence.

That was why Hero No. 1 was startled. He was somewhat afraid that Cai'er might suddenly fight back.

But Cai'er did not resist. She stood there blankly without any reluctance. For some reason, she felt no dislike toward Long Xingyu. She did not know whether it was because of Saint Spirit Heart or because of Long Haochen.

"She is indeed the daughter of Lingxin and Lan Yanyu."

"Based on your relationship with Lingxin, this child should call you Uncle."

Hero No. 1 explained.

Then, as though he had suddenly remembered something, he said somewhat nervously, "However, Temple Master Xingyu, the matter of the Reincarnation Saintess is of great importance. I hope you can keep it confidential from now on and not reveal it."

"After all, she is the hope of our Assassin Temple, as well as a vital hope for humanity's future battle against the demons. Likewise, she has paid far too much for the awakening of her Reincarnation physique."

Hearing this, Long Xingyu turned to look at him. "Does that even need to be said?"

"The emergence of a Reincarnation Physique is a major matter for the Temple Alliance and for all humanity. It is an absolute secret. You know what takes priority, so there is no need to worry. I will keep it confidential."

With that, he looked once more toward where Cai'er was.

Thinking of everything she would go through with Long Haochen in the future, Long Xingyu, as a father, could not help but soften his gaze with kindness.

Hearing this, Hero No. 1 let out a long breath.

That was good. Very good!

There was no need to say much about Cai'er's importance to the Assassin Temple. She was the great-granddaughter of Saint Moon, the current head of the Assassin Temple, and the only daughter of Saint Spirit Heart, the military chief.

Moreover, she was the Reincarnation Saintess, possessing the rare Reincarnation Physique seen only once in three thousand years, with Innate Inner Spiritual Power at its maximum!

One had to know that the previous owner of a Reincarnation Physique had been that Reincarnation Saint Son, who had even gravely wounded and nearly killed the Demon God Emperor of that time while only at Ninth Tier Level Three.

If she were allowed to grow—

Wouldn't that be incredible?

She might become the one to end the struggle between humanity and the demon race!

For all this, they had paid far, far too much over the past few years. Naturally, they could not allow Cai'er to be exposed.

If Long Xingyu insisted, Hero No. 1 truly had no way to stop him.

Fortunately, he had agreed to keep it hidden!

However, he soon turned to look toward Long Xingyu.

He had originally intended to say something.

But suddenly, he froze.

Because Long Xingyu's gaze was strange.

Truly strange.

It was not the look one gave a genius.

Rather, it was a...

Very... kindly gaze. Yes, kindly.

At that moment, Hero No. 1 was utterly baffled.
