Chapter 112 The Holy Maiden's Predicament
[Seeing Hong De and Lian Yun together and the fact that they were ganging up against the Holy Maiden, you felt that it was the best opportunity to return the favor and bully them instead.]
[It was worth noting that Hong De was at twenty-four years old and his star cultivation base was at Level 76 Star Saint. On the other hand, the Holy Maiden was twenty-two years old and her star cultivation base was at Level 73 Star Saint.]
[From that alone, Hong De might be a genius star master, but the Holy Maiden was a lot more talented than him. However, the Holy Maiden was two years younger than Hong De so it was inevitable for Hong De to be a lot stronger than her. But with just a two-year gap, the Holy Maiden was only three levels below Hong De and although that gap was slightly huge in terms of strength, just several months could allow the Holy Maiden to surpass that level.]
[On the other hand, Lian Yun who was eighteen years old was at Level 69 Star Emperor. Her star cultivation base might be quite low when compared to the Holy Maiden and Hong De, but her talent far surpassed the two of them. After all, she was a lot younger than them yet if she was the same age as them, she would at least be a few levels stronger.]
[There was a reason why Lian Yun was so hellbent on being independent and she indeed had the talent and strength to back it up. But since you were no longer related to her and she didn't even have any memories of you, you only intended to interfere in this incident just to stand up for the Holy Maiden.]
[As World Master Alister Wright, you could care less about the Holy Maiden. However, your current identity was now Holy Son Shenhong Zhiye. Even if you wanted to turn a blind eye to the current predicament of the Holy Maiden, you couldn't as it was also part of your responsibility to help the members of the Star Hall.]
[If you didn't witness this incident, then you could make an excuse that you weren't present and that it wasn't your obligation to protect the Holy Maiden every day and everywhere. But since you witnessed it, it would be quite troublesome if the Star Hall Pope discovered that you didn't assist his daughter.]
[You know very well that with the personality of the Holy Maiden, she wouldn't make trouble and even bother others as nothing was more important to her than star cultivation. If Lian Yun was obsessed with independence, then the Holy Maiden was obsessed with getting stronger. In other words, she was power hungry.]
[You didn't know the reason why she was like that. After all, even Lian Yun had her own reasons for being obsessed with independence and that was due to her lack of freedom in the Lian Clan when it came to her love life. But that was the least of your worries so you didn't bother to know.]
[All you need to know was that if ever Hong De decided to harass the Holy Maiden and attack her, the Holy Maiden wouldn't be powerful enough to resist Hong De. At most, if it was a life and death battle, the Holy Maiden would undoubtedly lose if Hong De went full power and even asked Lian Yun for assistance.]
[From what you could notice, Lian Yun and Hong De's relationship wasn't good enough to perform star fusion. After all, even if you weren't present in the Hong Clan, Lian Yun's engagement wasn't passed on to Hong De. Lian Yun was only the second young miss of the Lian Clan and the one who was engaged to Hong De was the first young miss of the Lian Clan.]
[Since the Star Master Youth Competition has four participation slots in one team, Hong De and his fiancee will be in the same team along with Lian Yun and her fiance. You could already guess that in this timeline, Lian Yun's fiance was likely the third young master of the Hong Clan.]
[If you still included yourself in the Hong Clan, you were the first young master while Hong De was the second young master so the only possible candidate for Lian Yun's fiance was the third young master of the Hong Clan.]
[But since the Hong Clan and Lian Clan offended the Holy Maiden who came from the top force that was backing you, you have already forgotten about the support that the Hong Clan had given you in the previous timeline.]
[It was not that you were heartless. Well, you are but not completely. However, you and the Hong Clan no longer have any relations with each other and are nothing but strangers.] nOve-lb(In
[Furthermore, you didn't owe the Hong Clan any favor since you had also guarded the Hong Clan while you were present there. All in all, you won't actively seek trouble for the Hong Clan since that was the least you could do but if they actively provoke you or the force behind you, then that was no longer your problem but theirs.]
['The Holy Maiden can't win against Hong De and Lian Yun since even if Lian Yun couldn't perform star fusion with Hong De, she could still assist him in battle. Even if she is only a Star Emperor, the Holy Maiden isn't a relatively powerful Star Saint so Lian Yun's high defensive capabilities due to her Void Dragon Armor are enough to at least withstand the Holy Maiden's attacks and provide support for Hong De.']
['Just one fatal disadvantage or mistake in a battle can cost defeat. Even if Lian Yun was thrown out of the picture and only Hong De and the Holy Maiden were fighting against each other, the Holy Maiden would still lose. And since it's prohibited for seniors to fight against juniors, the protectors of the Holy Maiden who were lurking in the dark would be attacked by the protectors of Lian Yun and Hong De if they dared to make a move.']
[When you thought of that, you sighed. It seems that you can only assist the Holy Maiden since it was one of your responsibilities as the Holy Son.]
