The Geared Immortal

Chapter 516

/*unedited*/

Two hours have passed since Qian Li began crying. And now Shin Jiao is currently sitting on a sofa with a beautiful figure lying on the sofa with her head on his leg. Her hand is still grasping his hand unwilling to let go even though she is already fast asleep.

He slowly caresses her long silver hair while looking at the window outside.

He felt helpless with Qian Li's condition as he could not just leave her. If he does, he knew that she would suddenly breakdown.

But now as he carefully took a glance at her expression, he noticed that she is smiling a bit while calmly asleep she was not on guard on anything as if she didn't care about anything in the world as long as she is with him.

Shin Jiao felt a bit sorry for her, but he could not take back the time. All he can do now is to calm her and think about what would be his next step.

He carefully caresses her soft silver hair and heaves a sigh.

…

Yi City Zone 6, Park area

In the middle of the park, several men can be seen without any clothing on them lying at the side of the fountain. The protectors of the city have already been called and reached the area where many people are currently taking pictures of the shameful scene in front of them.

Some recognize one of them as the 12th prince of Wu kingdom.

The protectors of the city wearing their green uniforms took the people who are still drowsy and seem to be out of their wits.

The head of the protectors is a tall young man with handsome features and tan skin. His muscular body is just enough to make him look very attractive to some of the women in the area.

"That's Captain Jiang… I always see him on the news… He is so handsome."

"I heard he is still single… if I could get such a man, then I'm set for life… Hihi…"

"But I think I heard that he has his eyes on the young mistress of the Lei clan."

"Lei Clan? You mean those traitors that align themselves with the traitorous prince Jiao Long Xi?"

"Yeah, one of my relatives was killed in that war… I really hate that clan even though they were pardoned by the emperor."

"I hope that my handsome Captain Jiang won't fall in the hands of that seductress…"

"Well, who knows… I heard that she is a rare beauty. She is the daughter of the famous seductress Lyn Lei after all…"

The women began to gossip as they watch the handsome young officer take on the case. The young man meticulously checks the ground and a glint of surprise appear on his handsome face.

"This is not right… I… I knew this slight trace of energy signature. The person who did this can use… domain… This… this would be a difficult case." He muttered as he continues checking the area carefully.

After a day of investigation, they found out that the prince seems to have been mugged by some local thugs and his clothes along with his guards were stolen. And from the way everything was handled, the evidence is pointing to a single person, and that is the 3rd prince, Linguang Xingu.

Almost everyone in zone 6 knew that only the third prince has the ability to do this. Hence they suspected as such, but the problem is the 3rd prince is currently in hiding as he just suffered a great setback yesterday.

…

A famous restaurant somewhere in Zone 6

Meanwhile, two figures can be seen eating inside a private box of a famous restaurant. These two are Shin Jiao and Qian Li.

Qian Li has her complexion looking good after resting for the whole night after crying. She didn't let go of Shin Jiao's hand for the whole night and just slept on his leg. This made him feel helpless but still let the woman did what she wanted as his heart feels guilty for her.

And now the two are currently having a sumptuous breakfast.

"Master… I truly can't believe that you came from that other world. I mean… you are very strong, but it seems that those people that I have met are not that strong. So after hearing about your story, I was still not convinced."

"Well, yes… I really came from that world. I came back here to see you guys actually and also help those friends of mine." Shin Jiao explained.

"I see… so all the things that you taught us really came from that place, huh…"

"Yes… but I was really surprised that you guys have advanced this much in just 13 years."

"Hehe… Master, you didn't know? It was due to the Time Plate that we accidentally got. However, two years after you… died… the Time Plate suddenly disappear. So the advancement of Shin City has slowed. But it is already enough. As you can see, people are now living a good life. And the oppression stopped... At least in the open, that is."

"I see… Anyway… Qian... Can you tell me where my friends are?"

"Oh… right, right… Well, it's a bit complicated… they too were supposed to be looking for you. But the woman, who has a face that is the same as Sister Qin Lou,… Miss Susan Tang… she… she said she wanted to see your accomplishments, so we went to Shin City."

"So, they are in Shin City now?"

"Umm… the others… yes. But… Miss Tang… she… she is missing." Qian Li said with hesitation.

Upon hearing her words, Shin Jiao's expression suddenly changes. Anger can be seen on his handsome face, but she can see that he is trying to control himself.

"What happened?…" Shin Jiao asked in a cold tone.

Qian Li immediately felt her body feeling a heavy pressure that her mind almost went blank. She can even find herself unable to breathe normally.

"Mas… Master… Ple… please… please spare me." Qian Li pleaded in between her heavy breathing.

Shin Jiao noticed that he is unconsciously releasing too much pressure. So he immediately controlled his emotion and calmed down.

"I'm sorry… Tell me what happened." Shin Jiao said without letting Qian Li recover.

"That… actually, you came… back." Qian Li said while biting her lower lips.

"I did what?"

"We… we thought you came back. But then Miss Tang suddenly came running towards you and at that time, we were too late. That man… that man who looks like you. He took her… Master… I'm sorry… We are unable to find Miss Tang no matter how hard our agents look… That man… he has access to our technology and is able to block any scan we use."

"Shin Jiao… Aye Muyan's son?…" Shin Jiao muttered.

When Qian Li heard this, she was a bit surprised.

"How long did this happened?"

"About 1 week ago…"

Shin Jiao thought for a while. Although the memory is unclear, he is sure that the person who looks like him would be that man. His mind would open a memory he needed to remember, but the feeling is vague and distant. So it's all just information.

"I think… they will be going to the Wu Empire… I have to get there fast." Shin Jiao said as he immediately decided.

"Master you should not worry too much… Miss… Miss Tang should be fine. And… and we found out that she... she is pregnant... master."

When Shin Jiao heard this he was a bit taken aback and his emotion was immediately riled up. Killing intent immediately filled his heart as he now wanted to kill the person who took the woman he loves. This unconscious aura coming from Shin Jiao has already made the customers in the restaurant felt fear. Some of them already called the protectors and outside of the restaurant, a few hover vehicle has already arrived.

"What is happening?" a tall young man asked.

The young man is the same as the person who just investigated the case of the 12th prince form Wu kingdom, Captain Jiang.

"Sir, there is a powerful cultivator inside the restaurant and he is releasing strong killing aura. Some of the guests have fainted but there are still others inside." A petite woman in green reported.

"Any casualties?���

"None sir…"

"Good, I will go inside…" the young captain said as he walked towards the restaurant.

Meanwhile, inside the private box, Qian Li's forehead is already filled with beads of sweat as she tries to regulate her oh aura while resisting Shin Jiao's killing intent.

If not for her strong will, she would have already fainted at this moment.

"Master!"

Shin Jiao was once again pulled back to the present and saw the sorry look on Qian Li.

"Ugh… Sorry… sorry…" he said as he supported Qian Li.

Bang!

Suddenly the door on the box swung open and two young men in green enter while holding their guns.

"Don't move!" one of them shouted while pointing his gun at Shin Jiao who is currently supporting Qian Li.

When Shin Jiao saw them, he didn't bother as he carefully caresses her back.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes… Thank you, master…"

"I'm really sorry. But I must leave… I must save her…" Shin Jiao said with a faint smile on his face while patting her head.

Qian Li just nodded her head calmly with a single tear escaping her eyes.

Then in a blink of an eye, Shin Jiao's figure vanished leaving behind the stunned men in green and the sorrowful Qian Li.

When Captain Jiang turned his sight on the silver-haired woman on the table, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. This is because he is familiar with the woman as she is very famous. However, this is the first time he has met and saw her personally.

"Miss… miss… Li, right. I… I am Captain Jiang of the zone 6 protection unit.. Can I ask you what happened here?" He asked with a bit of hesitation.
