No sooner had Li Shuo mentioned the words "you've awakened" than Lanlan turned back to normal. She looked at Li Shuo who was staring in shock, surprise and scared.
Lanlan start motioning his hands before Li Shuo so that he would stop getting distracted.
"Can I ask for a favor?" Chu Lanlan asked Li Shuo.
She then requested in a calm tone sincerely " Remove my memories from the time we met 3 years ago. Next time act as if you never knew me."
Li responded at Lanlan telling her he couldn't do the favor because overlords couldn't have more power over another during spellcasting.
Lanlan finally spoke out the question she'd been waiting to ask Li Shuo "What is an overlord and how am I related to her?
Li Shuo didn't say anything for a long time but finally spoke out.
In the Chu manor everyone was looking for Li Shuo and Lanlan who had been missing for hours.
Everyone was worried and scared for the prince except Li NanYi who looked happy as if he had gambled and won.
Li NanYi's relationship with his brother Li Shuo wasn't good because they were both against each other for the throne.
At that time a hooded man who was a taoist dressed in black caught the attention of everyone in the Chu household especially Chu QingQing, Li NanYi and Lian Xi.
Li NanYi was about to leave but before leaving he told Chu QingQing to pass on a message to his brother if he came back.
"By the way what's the little maid's name?" He asked Chu QingQing.
Chu QingQing said as she responded "Lian Xi was a beggar on the street that was brought home by Chu Lanlan 5 years ago."
"Lian Xi, interesting." He said to himself as he was leaving Chu manor.
Baili Yi went to alert his husband Chu Haoli who was currently in the study about the arrival of the taoist.
After hearing the description of the taoist he got surprised and immediately headed to the main hall with Baili Yi.
Lian Xi and Chu QingQing followed the taoist and the maid who were heading for the main hall.
Every Chu family member was present whether close or far relatives. The only ones that weren't present was Chu Lanlan and brother Chu Jianling who was guarding the border on punishment.
Every Chu family member was either scared or prayed.
After a long time of silence he finally spoke up in a ruthless voice"Good, everyone is here. Time to pay up old debts."
Lanlan waited eagerly for Li Shuo to talk.
He finally said "The heavenly empire and demon empire both each had 3 realms that is to say The mortal realm, The immortal realm and the deity realm. To reach to a higher realm one needed to go through ascension.
The 3 realms of both empires each had one leader who was called an overlord. The heavenly overlord was called the light overlord while the demon empire overlord was called a dark overlord. Both of them were the worst enemies and evenly matched.
After they disappeared into ashes it is said that they will both find their purpose to live as fate stars."
Lanlan walked around analyzing everything she just heard but still couldn't understand but Li Shuo told her not to force herself to understand things that would cause trouble for her.
Li Shuo looked at Chu Lanlan's forehead, patted her head and told her "Be alert, everything that you do from now will be predestined."
They both teleported back to Chu manor but surprisingly it was already morning.
When they heard a commotion by the imperial guards, they both went to check it out and they found out that the whole Chu manor was murder overnight.
When the imperial guards saw they were shocked and surprised.
"Your highness, what are you doing with the murderer?" The head of imperial guards Dian Xing asked Li Shuo.
Dian Xing looked at Li Shuo with an unreadable expression in his eyes.
