Xero had always been afraid to meet Old Yu, because if he told him his true age, he would immediately start questioning him.
But if he didn't clear the matter, and the misunderstanding persisted, then he would be treated as a criminal!
Not to mention that if the teachers find out, Xero would be the center of attention.
Based on Old Yu's perception, there were only two reasons as to why this divine boy had come to the world.
1: To save the world.
2: To claim his throne.
This is all he could think of. With the kind of power he possessed, he could rule the world if he wanted to.
Then he thought of the Grand Paradise incident, it must've been him who had saved her!
It was as if the fog finally cleared. In a blink of light, he understood everything.
He stared at Xero, as if he was looking through him. "May I ask, Counselor Zhang. were you the one that defeated the assassins."
Although this question caught him off-guard, he trusted Old Yu deeply, though he acts gay most of the time…
"Mm." A simple response from Xero.
"What about Miss Aoi, are you two actually together?"
"Just friends."
Xero was prudent as always.
Old Yu looked at him with slight suspicion, could it be that Counselor Zhang likes men?!
"…" Xero didn't want the old man's imagination to run wild.
Exactly why would the head of the Special Forces retire and come here years later?
Xero was very curious about this. According to his ramifications there must've been a good reason for that. Xero thought that such a position that he had possessed, would only require him to show up once a week, and just to pass character judgment. And that fitted his character very well.
"Did you have an internal injury?" Very quickly, Xero had figured it out.
Even without use of Buddha's Divine Eye, his eyes were a million times more powerful than any of the most advanced instruments worldwide.
Old Yu was kind of surprised he figured it out that fast, "Yes… I had brain damage and had to undergo surgery."
Old Yu despite that, smiled bitterly. "After the Dimensional Seal Between Worlds incident, I was rushed to the hospital for surgery. And of course, it was a success. Afterwards, I wanted to find you, Counselor Zhang. And thank you, for your help. If it weren't for you, I don't think I would be alive right now…"
"The second time, when I had been discharged from the hospital, my boss had walked in. Without hearing me out, he used the Dragon Cursing Spell on me. I struggled mightily, even my balls were anxious. But in the end, I was caught and taken back to recuperate."
"…" F*ck! What a sh*tty boss.
"The third time, I wanted to escape with my flying sword," Old Yu covered his face in embarrassment, "And since I was the clumsy asshole, I accidentally slipped and fell from the twelfth floor."
"…" Goddamn! How is he even alive right now?!
"As such, I hadn't been able to recover until now. And I had been in the hospital for an additional three years."
Xero saw that the internal injury in his head, was the fracture of his skull. Though it wasn't that severe, it still caused excruciating pain for Old Yu.
Listening to Old Yu explaining himself, Xero heaved a deep sigh. As the head of the Special Forces… He sure had went through a lot.
With Old Yu's current state, he could only play card games at most!
Xero opened his palm, and a divine light enveloped his hand.
Among the Seven Thousand Grand Holy Spells, was the Grand Sanctification Spell could pure all evil. The first stage of the spell could remove toxins or poisons from the body, the second spell could heal entire wounds or fatal injuries, and the third stage could purify the mind.
Given his current stage with this spell, he could turn those perverts that have the audacity to grope women in public into stoic Shaolin monks.
When Old Yu saw the light, he was shocked!
He obviously never saw the spell before. But the way it was glowing signaled something more!
His eyes were fixed on his glowing palm as he praised Xero, "Counselor Zhang, you are the savior of our world!" He felt that One Hundred Grand Spells was the limit to the human capacity, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but wonder if he had limits at all!
"This ability will heal your wounds completely, including the brain." Xero didn't say much before he placed his palm on Old Yu's forehead. The warm and gentle light was slowly absorbed.
Old Yu felt something warm, but cool fill his brain. It was as if the toxins were being melted and destroyed.
"Wow!" He said in a girlish tone. Ok, now I'm convinced this man likes d*ck!
Xero: —_—
After the toxins that had been in his body for four whole years dissolved, he felt younger! Even his body was much lighter, and he could think clearly. He realized all the magical energy in his body was flowing smoothly throughout.
"Counselor Zhang… You truly are a King!" Old Yu was undeniably happy, because not even the doctors he visited at Qinghai could remove the stubborn toxins, but Xero healed it in an instant! Not even the most advanced medicines or vaccines in the world can compare to the miraculous effects from Xero's spell.
"From now on at school, call me Classmate Zhang not Counselor." Xero corrected him.
"Oh. Alright, Classmate Zhang."
Xero merely looked back at him, and now that the toxins in Old Yu's brain had dissolved, he could see the intention in his eyes.
He wanted him to handle this. Obviously, if word ever got out that Xero had killed a Golden Badge Master Assassin, not only would it spread around the school, but also at the news! And it would be a major topic for months! And that contradicts Xero's low-key life.
Xero didn't erase Old Yu's memories this time, after giving it some thought. Old Yu could help cover up for him, to help his true identity and power stay hidden.
As for the misunderstanding of his true age… Xero had already made that mistake before, so he might as well embrace it.
A breeze brushed past them, Xero's ears twitched, he could hear somebody walking to their area.
In an instant, poof! He disappeared from existence, leaving Old Yu and the lifeless body.
Seeing Xero disappear in an instant. He couldn't help but sigh at the gap in power… "Too powerful… too powerful…"
Whatever the reason they even came to the school, with such a Grand Master by him, he for sure wanted to make him his teacher!
While he was sighing, a group of school guards rushed to the scene.
"Sir! It's you!"
Old Yu turned, hands clasped behind his back. "I just killed this assassin. Make sure to bury it deep underground."
The guards gaze went to the lifeless body. And my god! All the bones were broken, and it looked like a human crumpled!
The guards nodded and took the lifeless body.
