Chapter 1913: Chapter 1594: A Great General (Double Chapters Combined)

“Senior, doing this is a three-thousand-year commitment; it may not be quite appropriate.”

Su Ran didn’t want Granny Blind to live such a lonely life. Convincing her to return to his territory would be much better, wouldn’t it? He could only try his best to persuade, and even if it still didn’t work, he wouldn’t regret it in the future. Thinking of this, Su Ran hesitantly asked, “Why don’t you just destroy the transmission array directly; that way, you wouldn’t have to worry about him for three thousand years, not even thirty thousand!”

“Completely destroy the transmission array? It’s not as simple as you think!”

Granny Blind put away the silk cloth and shook her head gently, “If the array base is destroyed, the transmission channel will lose all its restraints, and the Nine Nether Wasteland Ridge would appear in the world, causing chaos on the God-Demon Continent!”

“Whoa, the consequences are that severe?!”

Su Ran was startled; only then did he realize the gravity of the situation. But he wasn’t ready to give up, deploying another strategy, he asked persistently, “Senior, my territory has a transmission array. Can the array stone be transferred to mine, guarded by my heavy troops? If anything happens, you could help. It would save you a lot of trouble and let you enjoy life. Why not?”

“Transfer the array stone to your transmission array?”

Granny Blind was somewhat tempted by Su Ran’s words, nodding slightly, “This method might work, but… the array stone has already been destroyed by me. Restoring the array stone is not a simple task. Besides, don’t trouble yourself; I won’t go to the territory of the Human Race.”

“Senior, a word in private.”

Su Ran discreetly glanced at the drizzle in the distance, leaned closer to Granny Blind, and whispered, “My Human Race identity is just a disguise. My true identity is actually that of an Undead Skeleton.”

“Impossible! How could an Undead Skeleton be as sneaky as you?”

Granny Blind blurted out her thoughts without hesitation, but then quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand, I meant you’re much sneakier than humans…”

The Bloodsucker Venerable nodded in strong agreement with Granny Blind’s statement.

“…”

Su Ran’s face was full of black lines. How could he be so ill-reputed when he didn’t steal, rob or molest good women, perfectly embodying the five virtues of modern youth?

“Senior, a little bit of respect goes a long way, can you spare me some face?”

“Aren’t you an Undead Skeleton, where’s the face? Or are you purposely deceiving me, not really an Undead Skeleton?”

Granny Blind scrutinized Su Ran’s disguise but couldn’t find any trace of him resembling a skeleton, which made her doubtful, “You boy, are you teasing this old blind woman?”

“How could I, your eyes were treated by me. How could I bully you? At this point, I can only reveal my skeleton face to prove my innocence.”

Su Ran adjusted the angle to ensure the drizzle in the background couldn’t see, then revealed his face mask, while reminding, “Senior, please remember to keep this a secret. My Human Race identity is still very useful, so it cannot be revealed to anyone, including the person behind you.”

“Undead, you’re really cautious, even wary of your companion, quite amusing.”

The Bloodsucker Venerable’s voice carried a bit of sarcasm; it seemed Su Ran’s earlier rejection had been noted by this Venerable.

“Undead Skeleton, you’re well-hidden. Even this close, I couldn’t see your true identity. Looks like this old lady really is blind.”

Granny Blind sighed, “Put the mask back on; I believe you.”

“Senior, even the Ghost Venerable didn’t notice; why blame yourself? I’ve a skill to hide my identity, and it’s normal that you couldn’t tell.”

Su Ran quickly comforted her, worried about hurting her pride.

“Why drag me into this, ridiculous!”

The Bloodsucker Venerable looked displeased, not satisfied with Su Ran’s analogy. However, since it was a fact, the Venerable couldn’t argue, and could only glare sulkily at Su Ran.

“Undead, since you don’t mind me, an old woman, following you, it’s not impossible. But…”

Hearing Granny Blind’s “but,” Su Ran felt a jolt in his heart. Apparently, recruiting a high-level NPC wasn’t just about chatting; completing tasks assigned by the NPC was necessary. The revolution was not yet successful, so brothers still needed to work hard!

“Senior, please speak freely, I’m all ears.”

Su Ran lowered his posture, awaiting Granny Blind’s supposed task, hoping it wouldn’t be too outrageous. If she asked him to pluck stars from the sky, he’d just have to say goodbye.

“I want you to restore the destroyed array stone to its original state. Only then can the transmission array be moved. Once you restore the array stone, I will follow you!”

Granny Blind had long been weary of this Sand Cave Space. Su Ran’s suggestion was highly tempting; without the array stone, she might have already agreed.

“Repair the array stone…”

Su Ran couldn’t help but squint, feeling that the task was both challenging and straightforward. With a tool to repair the array stone, he could acquire an invaluable ally in no time. Yet, currently, he had no clue or means, struggling even to mend a broken mirror, let alone this stone.

“Undead, you’re in luck. I have a way to repair this array stone.”
