Your Health Is My Greatest Wealth

Your Health Is My Greatest Wealth

Su Ze found it hard to believe that a skill as broken as Divine Grace of Evolution had come from a Tier 1 extract.

He knew there had to be many secrets behind it, but he was too weak right now to investigate them.

He continued sorting through the memories in his mind...

After obtaining the Divine Grace of Evolution skill, Zhao Lingxiao had been overjoyed. Only then did he tell Zhao Yuanyi the full story, forcing his hand after the fact. By then, he had already been wanted across the country, but he knew his minister father would definitely be able to save him.

With things having reached this point, Zhao Yuanyi had no choice. He came up with a plan to use a Clone as a scapegoat and fake Zhao Lingxiao's death.

As for Zhao Lingxiao, Zhao Yuanyi arranged for him to hide first, focus on digesting Princess Zhuzhi's extract, intensify his training, and improve his physical condition so he could absorb the fourth tube of extract and complete his first evolution.

Zhao Yuanyi planned to send Zhao Lingxiao abroad after the clone was executed.

The memories ended there. The rest was insignificant trivia, so Su Ze stopped sorting through them, picked up the briefcase, and rummaged through the documents inside.

There was an ID card. The photo looked seventy to eighty percent like Zhao Lingxiao, but the name was not Zhao Lingxiao. It was Chen Kun.

Well, damn. Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand?

Clearly, this was the new identity Zhao Yuanyi had arranged for Zhao Lingxiao.

There was also a passport under the name Chen Kun, complete with a visa for the neighboring Luofan Kingdom.

It seemed Zhao Yuanyi intended to send Zhao Lingxiao to the Luofan Kingdom beside Mu Kingdom. All the paperwork had already been handled.

Su Ze put away the documents and watched the changing night scenery outside the window when an extremely important matter suddenly came to mind!

This clone body of his had been born half a month ago, so he did not possess Zhao Lingxiao's memories from the past half month.

During those half months, had Zhao Lingxiao absorbed the fourth tube of extract? Had he completed his first evolution?

If Zhao Lingxiao had already completed his first evolution, then Su Ze's attempt to impersonate him would not work. There would be a fatal flaw.

He had neither completed an evolution nor possessed Zhao Lingxiao's fourth skill. Given enough time, he would inevitably be exposed.

Just as he feared, Zhang Fantie, who was driving, noticed Su Ze's tense expression in the rearview mirror and rarefied himself to offer a word of comfort. "Don't worry. Becoming a Pupal stage evolver at seventeen, with all your skills being top-tier among Tier 1 skills, makes you a genius anywhere. Even in the Luofan Kingdom, you'll receive preferential treatment."

Su Ze's heart skipped a beat. Zhao Lingxiao really had evolved to the Pupal stage!

The first three evolutionary stages were collectively known as Extraordinary Lifeforms. They were named after the three stages of an insect turning into a butterfly: pupation, breaking the cocoon, and becoming a butterfly. Experts who had evolved four times or more were collectively known as Saint-level lifeforms.

As for those like Su Ze, who had never evolved even once, they were called Mortal Lifeforms.

There was still quite a gap between a Mortal Lifeform and a Pupal stage lifeform. If he fought someone in front of Zhang Fantie or Zhao Yuanyi, they would definitely see through him.

All he could do now was hope Zhao Yuanyi would arrange for him to leave the country as soon as possible. Once he reached the Luofan Kingdom and left Zhao Yuanyi's field of vision, he would no longer need to fear being exposed... Su Ze calmed down, thinking that he should find an opportunity to complete his first evolution as soon as possible.

The car drove through Qinggu City's streets in the early hours of the morning. After entering the urban district, the streets visibly became livelier. Neon lights flashed outside the windows, and from time to time, he saw groups of drunken young men and women in skimpy outfits and black stockings.

As the capital of Mu Kingdom, Qinggu City's nightlife was quite vibrant.

The Zhao Family had many businesses in Qinggu City, both aboveboard and under the table. Zhang Fantie drove into an alley, at the end of which stood a quiet courtyard amid the bustle.

After Zhang Fantie parked in the courtyard, Su Ze was about to get out, only to discover that Zhang Fantie had not unlocked the door. Instead, he rolled down the window for him.

Su Ze looked outside and saw a handsome older man with graying temples walking toward him. It was Zhao Yuanyi.

"The Pebble Prison Warden called to question me. He said you caused quite a commotion?" Zhao Yuanyi asked from outside the car door.

"There was a small accident, but I also eliminated the loose ends," Su Ze said.

Zhao Yuanyi nodded, not taking the matter too seriously. It was only a few more death-row prisoners dead. He had already placated the Pebble Prison Warden by offering to increase Pebble Prison's budget allocation next year and promising to use his connections to help Pebble Prison cover up the incident.

"I've arranged a private plane at Qinggu Airport. It will take you to Black Rock City. From there, you'll travel by car to the Luofan Kingdom. Once you're there, go find General Ye Muni. He's been a close friend of mine for many years and will arrange your studies and life over there."

Zhao Yuanyi paused before continuing, "Work hard there and strive to become a Saint-level lifeform as soon as possible. By then, with your Divine Grace of Evolution skill, you won't need to fear King Mu. You can return to Mu Kingdom openly and honorably."

Su Ze was delighted. What did that mean? Zhao Yuanyi was sending him away now?

That was wonderful!

As long as he left the Zhao Family, he would no longer need to worry about his identity being exposed.

Su Ze nodded repeatedly. "I definitely won't slack off. I'll become a Saint-level lifeform as quickly as possible!"

Given Zhao Lingxiao's personality, he definitely would not forget to strengthen the bond between father and son at a time like this. He would have called him Dad over and over, asking after his well-being. But Su Ze could not do that.

Though Zhao blood ran through his body as well, Zhao Yuanyi had neither given birth to him nor raised him. He had even wanted to use him as Zhao Lingxiao's substitute to die in his place. Su Ze could never acknowledge such a man as his father.

Su Ze believed that what made a person human was having one's own dignity and principles.

At that moment, Zhao Yuanyi suddenly took out a bank card and handed it to Su Ze. "You'll need money everywhere when you're away from home. I've put two hundred million in this card. The password is your birthday. Ask me for more after you've spent it."

"Thanks, Dad!"

Su Ze accepted the bank card and said emotionally, "Please take good care of yourself. Your health is my greatest wealth!"

Su Ze said those words with complete sincerity.

He was a Clone with no father or mother. Was it really too much to acknowledge a dad?

"Enough. Don't waste time. Get moving."

Zhao Yuanyi waved a hand, then turned toward Zhang Fantie in the driver's seat. "Fantie, I'll have to trouble you with looking after Lingxiao from now on."

"The minister has shown me immense kindness. This is simply what I ought to do," Zhang Fantie said seriously.

Su Ze, standing nearby, suddenly realized something.

Wait!

Something was wrong!

Did that mean Zhang Fantie was coming with him to escort him to the Luofan Kingdom?

Would he even continue protecting him after they arrived in the Luofan Kingdom?

In an instant, the nerves Su Ze had just relaxed tightened once more.

Zhang Fantie could protect him, but he could also kill him. If he discovered that Su Ze was not Zhao Lingxiao, Su Ze would not even have a chance to run.

And it was only a matter of time before he was exposed. He could not possibly refrain from fighting forever in front of Zhang Fantie.

It was over, it was over!

He had just escaped the wolf's den, only to enter the tiger's lair.

PS: During the new book period, I'll try to release two chapters at once around this time so that brothers staying up late can read them immediately, while those getting up early can see them as soon as they wake up.
