Your Health Is My Greatest Wealth

Chapter 8: Your Health is My Greatest Wealth

The Divine Grace of Evolution was such a BUG skill, and it came from a Tier 1 extract. Su Ze found it hard to believe.

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

He continued to sift through the memories in his mind...

Zhao Lingxiao was ecstatic upon obtaining the Divine Grace of Evolution skill. Only then did he tell Zhao Yuanyi the whole story, acting first and reporting later. At that time, he was already wanted nationwide, but he knew his minister dad would surely save him.

With things as they were, Zhao Yuanyi had no choice. He devised a plan to use a clone as a scapegoat and fake his death to escape.

Zhao Yuanyi's arrangement for Zhao Lingxiao was for him to hide, quickly digest Princess Zhuzhi's extract, and intensify his training to improve his physique so he could absorb the fourth vial 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 were trivial matters, so Su Ze stopped sorting through them and picked up his handbag, taking out the documents.

An ID card, with a photo that bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to Zhao Lingxiao, but the name was not Zhao Lingxiao. It read Chen Kun.

Well, well, the Peerless Thunderbolt Hand?

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

Besides that, there was a passport, also under the name Chen Kun, with a visa for the neighboring Luofan Kingdom endorsed on it.

It seemed Zhao Yuanyi intended to send Zhao Lingxiao to the Luofan Kingdom, next to the Mu Kingdom, and all the paperwork was ready.

Su Ze put away the documents and looked out at the changing night scenery. Suddenly, he remembered something extremely important!

This clone body of his was born half a month ago, so it did not have Zhao Lingxiao's memories from the past half month.

During this half month, had Zhao Lingxiao absorbed the fourth vial of extract? Had he completed his first evolution?

If Zhao Lingxiao had already completed his first evolution, then his impersonation would be flawed and have a fatal weakness.

If he hadn't completed his evolution, he wouldn't possess Zhao Lingxiao's fourth skill either. It would only be a matter of time before he was exposed.

Just as he feared, Zhang Fantie, who was driving, saw Su Ze's worried expression in the rearview mirror and offered a rare word of comfort: "Don't worry. At your age of seventeen, to already be an Evolver in the Pupal stage, with all your skills being top-tier Tier 1, you're a genius anywhere. Even in Luofan Kingdom, you'll be treated well."

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

The first three evolutionary stages were collectively known as Extraordinary Lifeforms, named after the three stages of a butterfly's metamorphosis: Pupa, Emergence, and Metamorphosis. Experts who evolved four or more times were collectively known as Saint-level lifeforms.

As for those like Su Ze who hadn't evolved even once, they were called Mortal Lifeforms.

The gap between a Mortal Lifeform and a lifeform in the Pupal stage was quite significant. If he were to fight anyone in front of Zhang Fantie or Zhao Yuanyi, he would surely be discovered.

Now, he could only hope that Zhao Yuanyi would arrange for him to go abroad soon. Once he reached the Luofan Kingdom and was out of Zhao Yuanyi's sight, he wouldn't have to fear exposure... Su Ze calmed himself, thinking that he should also find an opportunity to complete his first evolution as soon as possible.

The car drove through the streets of Qinggu City in the early morning. After entering the city, it became noticeably livelier. Neon lights flickered outside the car windows, and groups of drunk youths and scantily clad women in black stockings could be seen from time to time.

As the capital of the Mu Kingdom, Qinggu City had a vibrant nightlife.

The Zhao Family had numerous businesses, both overt and covert, in Qinggu City. Zhang Fantie drove the car into an alley, at the end of which stood a quiet courtyard.

Zhang Fantie parked the car in the courtyard. Just as Su Ze was about to get out, he noticed that Zhang Fantie hadn't unlocked the car door. Instead, he rolled down the window for him.

He looked out the car window and saw an older handsome man with streaks of white at his temples walking towards him. It was Zhao Yuanyi.

"The warden of Pebble Prison called to question me, saying you caused quite a stir?" Zhao Yuanyi asked, standing outside the car door.

"There was a bit of an accident, but I've eliminated a potential problem," Su Ze replied.

Zhao Yuanyi nodded, not taking the matter too seriously. A few more executed criminals had died, that's all. He had already appeased the warden of Pebble Prison by increasing the prison's financial allocation for the next year and promised to use his connections to help the prison cover up the incident.

"I've arranged for a private jet at Qinggu Airport to take you to Black Rock City. From Black Rock City, you'll travel to Luofan Kingdom by car. Once you arrive in Luofan Kingdom, find General Ye Muni. He's an old friend of mine and will arrange your studies and life there."

Zhao Yuanyi paused and continued, "Work hard there and strive to become a Saint-level lifeform as soon as possible. With your Divine Grace of Evolution skill, you won't have to fear King Mu, and you can return to the Mu Kingdom openly."

Su Ze's heart leaped with joy. What did he mean? Sending him away now?

That would be wonderful!

As long as he left the Zhao Family, he wouldn't have to worry about his identity being exposed.

Su Ze nodded repeatedly, "I will definitely not slack off and will become a Saint-level lifeform as quickly as possible!"

In reality, given Zhao Lingxiao's personality, at a time like this, he would definitely not forget to consolidate his father-son relationship, showering him with affectionate greetings. But Su Ze couldn't do that.

Although he shared the Zhao Family's blood, Zhao Yuanyi had neither given birth to him nor raised him. He had even intended for him to be a scapegoat for Zhao Lingxiao. He could never acknowledge such a person as his father.

Su Ze believed that what made a person human was their dignity and bottom line.

At this moment, Zhao Yuanyi suddenly took out a bank card and handed it to Su Ze. "You'll need money everywhere when you're out on your own. I've deposited two hundred million yuan on this card. The password is your birthday. Ask me again when you've used it up."

"Thank you, Dad!"

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

Su Ze said this with genuine sincerity.

He was a clone, without parents. It wasn't too much to acknowledge a father, was it?

"Alright, don't waste any more time. Hurry up and go."

Zhao Yuanyi waved his hand. He turned to Zhang Fantie in the driver's seat and said, "Fantie, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Lingxiao from now on."

"The Minister's kindness to me is immense; this is all I should do," Zhang Fantie said earnestly.

Su Ze, standing nearby, suddenly realized something.

Wait!

Something's not right here!

Judging by his words, Zhang Fantie was also going to escort him to the Luofan Kingdom?

And he would continue to protect him even after they arrived in the Luofan Kingdom?

In an instant, the tension Su Ze had just relaxed returned.

Zhang Fantie could not only protect him but also kill him. If he ever exposed that he wasn't Zhao Lingxiao, he wouldn't even have a chance to run.

Moreover, exposure was only a matter of time. He couldn't possibly avoid using his powers in front of Zhang Fantie forever.

This is bad, this is really bad!

He had just escaped one danger only to fall into another.

PS: During the new book period, I'll try my best to update two chapters at once around this time. This way, those staying up late can see them immediately, and those waking up early tomorrow can see them as soon as they wake up.
