Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System
Chapter 161: Change of Plan

"Why did  you need to do all this?"

"I just do what I need to do, Blaire. My mother wants to keep hiding, but my sister thinks there is just one road to the end. And I agree with her.

So I decided to help her reach her goal; this all happened before I met you."

Blaire turned silent as Aurora's words barely lingered in his mind. If he were a computer, his mind would now show a blue screen of death. It completely hanged.

In all his life, this was the first time he didn't know what to do or say. After some thought, he asked.

"Aurora, you say you won't leave me now. What if my existence becomes a danger to your sister then?"

Aurora's eyes flickered for a moment.

"That doesn't matter, you are here now. What can you do, Blaire?

Tomorrow, this kingdom will be turned upside down. And no one, not even the Sentinel or my mom, can change it.

They will have no choice but to do what my sister wants."

"You don't plan to kill the sentinel?"

Aurora chuckled. "There is no way we can kill him, and it's very stupid.

As we say, we don't want to keep hiding. But it doesn't mean hiding from the Felidaens; it means hiding from the war out there.

There are many things you don't know, Blaire, and it's better if you never know.

Let's just live our lives somewhere far away from everyone. I have made a plan for us to escape. Of course, not before I make sure you are mine."

A few hours passed by, and in the Blaire mansion, the atmosphere became tense.

Blaire hasn't returned nor responded to any of her messages, making her feel worried. She proposed for them to check the palace, but William fervently declined.

"It's not that I don't want to help him, but it's very dangerous to go there now.

There is a big change; the king already knows all of our plans. Going there is the same as suicide."

"You say that because you don't care about him!" Sasha turned her gaze to Alex, who had been deep in thought all this time and started begging him to help.

She knew, as he was the Sentinel envoy, his word carried the biggest weight. As long as he agreed, William wouldn't say anything.

Lily, meanwhile, felt conflicted. Despite what she knew of Blaire now, her hate didn't just magically disappear.

Hearing a story wasn't enough to erase all of those.

A small part of her felt relieved that her friend would be freed from Blaire if he was dead. But seeing how much pain Sasha was in, she couldn't bear it.

"Let me go, I will just fake the trip as checking on my family. They won't replace it weird.

Even if they know about our plan, I doubt they will do anything to me."

Sasha was conflicted. She didn't want her friend to go into danger, but it's not like there were other choices. She felt both guilty and helpless in the situation.

Alex, meanwhile, had two thoughts now.

His logic told him it was better to wait to confirm the situation. If the king still goes to the auction, that means Blaire is stuck because of a different reason.

He couldn't remove the possibility of Blaire betraying them. This made Alex regret not making him sign a slave contract. If he had done that, he would know the truth now.

But despite what his logic told him, his heart told him otherwise. Seeing Sasha reminded him of his own past. He empathized with her.

If there was someone capable of helping his father in the past but decided to stay still, he would resent them.

With a sigh, Alex then made a decision. He didn't want to do anything that would make him unable to sleep at night.

"I will look for him. Lily, you stay here.

If there is no news from me, follow our first plan, ambush him with all the guardian squad when the king goes to the auction."

"William, you and Sasha should bring Blaire's people and start rescuing the hostages."

He then turned his gaze towards Sasha. "I know you just woke up, but the situation won't let you rest now. We need every hand on deck.

You should be familiar with Blaire's men; help William in tracking the hostages and make a plan to rescue them."

Alex doesn't instruct Roxy since he knows she will follow William no matter where he goes. He then added, "Be careful. If things go awry, just escape. I will replace you later."

Before the others could respond, Alex left the premises. He already knew the palace's location.

He now was moving on foot. Using Qi to enhance his body and move at the maximum speed allowed him to reach the location quickly, not less than using the chariot.

But Alex did this on purpose. While he jumped from building to building, he tried to track if there was a fairy race hidden in the populace.

Before, from a chariot, he was moving too high in the sky to search the area carefully.

A fairy is different than a Feladine; they are not corrupted like them. So, even if they use something to disguise their presence, Alex will still be able to detect their life force.

But not all lifeforce means he found a fairy.

There are other possibilities what he found is a pet. Alex has seen some of the populace also take care of animals with heads like dogs, but all of them were small in size. Their size is like that of guinea pigs.

As he leaped in the air, Alex stopped in one of the tree branches. He turned his gaze downward to a nearby outdoor seating area.

There was a Felidaean sitting there on the bench, looking in a daze towards a nearby fountain. The man had bony ears and tails, but Alex could feel life force energy coming from him.

He put a thought, then asked Vesa to translate his language to the fairy. Approaching the man from behind, he asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is my next mission?"

"Ask the princess about it," the man replied without looking back.
