Chapter 390: Side Story 10: Naive and Arrogant Youths!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the past two days, there was a strange atmosphere that encapsulated the entire capital. All of a sudden, high and mighty figures started appearing in public.

It seemed that nearly everyone who held significant power in this world had gathered here within this city.

Apart from a handful of people, the majority were unaware of the fact that these figures were here to meet one single individual only!

The Wen family finally found an opportunity to entertain these distinguished guests but throughout their entire interaction, there was little to no verbal exchange. In fact, they could only see the back of the elusive yet legendary leader of the supernatural world.

Still, that was more than enough to satisfy them.

“Father, do you know who these people are?” Wen Qing asked her father quietly.

Madam Wen sat next to Wen Qing; she overheard her daughter’s question and she glanced at her husband, curiously awaiting his reply.

Wen Qing’s father looked around him and gestured for his servants to back off before whispering to his daughter and wife, “I don’t know the rest of them but I do know that today, we’ll be expecting the leader of the American supernatural world to drop by.”

Madam Wen’s hands trembled upon hearing that. Her teacup slipped out from her fingers, splashing steaming hot liquid all over her legs but she was too shocked to feel the pain.

“The American supernatural world?” Wen Qing was puzzled. “And who is that?”

Her father raised his teacup to his lips and sipped from a cup that he held with his trembling hand. He smiled upon hearing his daughter’s question but that smile of his was as stiff as it could get. “Qing Qing, I won’t blame you if you don’t know who that person is. After all, history had been deliberately re-written twenty years ago. Your generation obviously doesn’t know about this. Back then, the earth almost got wiped out.”

“What?!” Wen Qing’s face seemed drained of color. “How is that even possible?!”

This sounds like something ripped out of an apocalyptic sci-fi novel!

However, the look on her father’s face didn’t seem to indicate that he was joking around. Slowly, she straightened her back and she asked, “What happened then?”

“Here comes the almost-mythical part. The people of the world united…the ancient martial arts world, the Peacekeepers, and the people whom humanity looked up to as their final bastion of hope came into the picture. You should at least know about the existence of the ancient martial arts world. They have merged with similar groups abroad into what we know today as the supernatural world. And the person I was referring to, is the spiritual leader of the entire supernatural world! You probably don’t know this but back then, her name was all the rage! However, she vanished from the face of the Earth after one final battle. Some say that she has died.”

“Died?” Wen Qing was visibly surprised to hear this.

“The scenic spot in the desert wasteland that only accepts a hundred visitors daily,” A glow appeared in her father’s eyes. “That location is where she had allegedly fallen.”

“What happened after her death?” asked Wen Qing excitedly.

Her father shook her head. “Well, she resurfaced three years later and updated her status on Weibo, causing a huge uproar on the internet but that was the final time we ever heard of her again.”
