Shoujo Grand Summoning Chapter 803: Busted again? The questioning...

Jarl Ailu: Level 96

He's a level 96 demigod!

His shock slowly appeared on his face. Jarl thought Wu Yan was surprised by his movement speed. He chortled slightly.

"No need to be so shocked, it was just a simple manipulation of magical power. Travelling 500 kilometers in a breath is an easy feat, when you're a demigod..."

Jarl's encouraging words entered his ears. He bitterly laughed.

"Oops, you caught me with my pants down..."

"Wu Yan! Watch your tongue!"

Kate chastized him.

"Master Jarl is the guardian of Ailu empire, he's so much more powerful than me, I will not tolerate any rudeness in his presnce."

Kate is afraid that Wu Yan might make Jarl angry. Jarl waved his hand without minding it at all.

"Manners and formalities are a drag. In fact, I quite liked the term he used to refer to me."

Kate sighed in relief while Wu Yan wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry. Pretty sure Kate called him a youngster multiple times, it only seemed fair that he can snap back, right? Does he look so young to them?

Jarl turned his attention back towards Wu Yan. Ignoring Kate and Sylph, he stared intently at Wu Yan, making him uneasy and awkward. Suddenly, the old man spoke.

"Youngster..."

Jarl continued.

"You're not human are you?"

His calm assessment made his heart jump in no time at all. Wu Yan is stunned by his keen senses. Meanwhile, Kate had trouble believing his own ears.

Wu Yan kept his identity as a true ancestor hidden. The Beast King was the first one to figure his true identity out. However, the Beast king wasn't a human himself so it should be easy for him to tell Wu Yan apart from the humans around him. It also took the Beast King a while to notice this anomaly.

But, Jarl saw through him in almost no time at all.

This guy is scary.

"Not a human..."

Kate had a grim look.

"Master Jarl, what do you mean by that?"

Sylph also heard the Beast King refer to Wu Yan as a non-human entity. The fight was too intense so she didn't put much thought into it at the time. She recalled that Wu Yan somehow regenerated from lethal injuries in the blink of an eye.

He, isn't a human.

Jarl said nothing. He wanted Wu Yan to answer him. Wu Yan nodded after slight deliberation. Jarl laughed while Kate and Sylph froze up.

"Not a human, yet, I do not sense the demonic energy of demonic beasts, you, what are you?"

Jarl asked with honest curiosity. Wu Yan frowned as he pondered over his choices.

Is he going to tell them that he's a vampire?

Do they even know what a vampire is?

Jarl lightly laughed. He can see Wu Yan's in a bind right now.

"Don't have an answer? That's fine too..."

Wu Yan sighed in relief.

"Sorry, old man, little ol' me just don't know how to begin explaining, it's a really long story..."

"It's your secret. If you want to reveal it, I am all ears. If you don't then I won't press for it. I am not one for forcing answers out of people."

Jarl waved his hand, he didn't feel old when he openly gave Wu Yan a way out.

He glanced at Wu Yan.

"Look, I reckon you already guessed that I am the one who told Kate to exchange the Ring for treasures, right?"

Wu Yan scratched his cheek and he laughed.

"Yeah, this young one just wants to know why the old master went to the trouble to tell Kate to engage Sylph in order to facilitate the Ring trade?"

"Trouble?"

Jarl blinked his eyes.

"Trouble? I thought it would be fun."

Wu Yan started sweating. Kate and Sylph were at a loss of words, it's like they knew this was going to happen.

Jarl probably lived so long, his mentality started reverting to that of a child's.

Wu Yan concluded that must be the case. In any case, this engagement doesn't seem to have any downside.

"Alright, youngster, I wanted you to come here because I had a question for you."

Jarl started turning serious.

"I heard the little girl over there telling me about how you found this ring in a hidden place. Did you find anything other than the Ring of Authority?"

Wu Yan faked a look of confusion.

"What do you mean? You mean there's something else there aside this?"

Jarl knitted his brows.

"Am I correct to assume you found nothing else?"

Wu Yan looked at Jarl with a similarly serious look.

"Was there something else?"

The mood turned heavy as the two stared into each other's eyes. Jarl gave up and he turned around with disinterest.

"Nevermind, maybe it's my senile mind acting up. I don't like fussing over small details, that's not my style..."

Jarl sighed. He mocked himself.

"Man, I am really reverting to my younger self, huh..."

A gust blew and Jarl slowly disappeared, leaving the three by themselves.

"You might want to check out the inner region of the treasury, you should find something interesting there..."

Jarl disappeared after leaving that line. Wu Yan couldn't help but feel amazed by how he can appear and disappear as he wished.

Kate apologized.

"Don't blame Master Jarl. He's just a cultivator who wants to reach the top. He probably wanted to ask if there were any Power of God at the place where you found the Ring of Authority..."

Wu Yan nodded with a chuckle.

"He just asked me a few questions, no need to say sorry or anything. He didn't interrogate me."

"You're optimistic, that's for sure."

Kate nodded with a smile.

"Master Jarl gave you permission to enter the treasury, you should go in. Don't take or touch anything that you shouldn't!"

Wu Yan approached the entrance.

Stepping on the aged but shiny platform, he felt like the ground could use a few foothold, he had no trouble reaching the door.

A cold stream of air came from beyond the door, it wrapped around Wu Yan, however, Wu Yan was isolated from the cold. Looking forward, a dark pathway was laid out in front of him, without light, it looked like a creepy lane in a ghostly yard. There was also a mysterious charm that somehow caught Wu Yan's fancy.

Wu Yan raised his guard and he entered the dark pathway, disappearing from Kate and Sylph's vision.
