Chapter 1029: Chapter 1025: A Sudden Revelation!
While Ye Tian was at a loss due to the Black Hole Clan matter, Tian Qi quietly slipped into Ye Tian’s room. To avoid being discovered by Ye Tian, she deliberately concealed herself using the method Ye Tian had taught her, making it impossible for Ye Tian to notice her presence for a moment.
However, the sound of Tian Qi’s footsteps while entering the room could not be hidden…
Ye Tian immediately noticed Tian Qi and bitterly smiled, asking, “Qiqi, are you here to comfort me?”
Tian Qi glanced at Ye Tian with her beautiful eyes and said lightly, “Ye Tian, I don’t know what to say. I just wanted to see you because you seem so lost! It seems you really love your wife, don’t you?”
“Of course, just like the moon in the sky, without the moon, my life would be dull and lackluster!”
Ye Tian unabashedly expressed his admiration for Yun Xinyan, and after hearing this, Tian Qi immediately showed a bitter smile.
“Is it my fault?”
Tian Qi suddenly asked, and Ye Tian glanced at her, not understanding what was going through this woman’s mind to ask such a perplexing question.
“It’s no one’s fault, as they say, good things take time. Maybe it’s something that Xinyan and I need to test ourselves against!”
Ye Tian sighed as he spoke, thinking that Tian Qi’s way of blaming herself was rather rash, and he didn’t understand why she would say such things.
However, even as Ye Tian said this, Tian Qi still felt immensely guilty in her heart…
“Ye Tian, if it was really the Black Hole Clan that kidnapped your wife, then as a traitor to the Black Hole Clan, I naturally have to take some responsibility. Perhaps the elders did this as a warning to me!”
Tian Qi added, her words tinged with a hint of bitterness.
Ye Tian patted Tian Qi’s back and said, “Qiqi, don’t worry. This is fate, even without you, those elders would still target me. Didn’t you say that the Black Hole Clan’s aim is to create a god? If so, wouldn’t I, with my Divine Race bloodline, be the most fitting target?”
“…”
Ye Tian’s words made Tian Qi less self-reproaching, and as Ye Tian looked at Tian Qi, he naturally thought of the Black Hole Clan.
“Qiqi, with Black Hole Clan’s advanced technology, why do they always hide underground? Why don’t they come to the surface, live, and enjoy the sunlight and rain?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, and his question left Tian Qi with her mouth agape, unsure of how to respond.
“Ye Tian, I don’t know why you’re asking such a question, but our Black Hole Clan people have lived for generations in the black hole, isn’t that only natural? My clansmen have never thought about living on the surface; they simply don’t have that awareness.”
Tian Qi said sincerely, but her words led Ye Tian into deep thought once again.
“With the Black Hole Clan’s technology, building a modern city should be easy. Why are they holding onto such a strange mindset? Is it a custom or are they afraid of something?”
Ye Tian continued, and after hearing this, Tian Qi pouted her lips.
“I don’t know either… However, I seem to have heard the elders mention that they have plans to build a city…”
“What!?”
Tian Qi’s words instantly excited Ye Tian.
“Qiqi, are you serious? Do the Black Hole Clan elders really have plans to build a city?”
Ye Tian impatiently asked, his demeanor again surprising Tian Qi…
“Indeed, this was something a senior elder mentioned when I was little, but that’s something from a long time ago. Since then, interactions between our clansmen and the elders have been quite limited. Those elders are always so mysterious that even as the thirteenth guardian, I have no communication with them!”
“When you were young… in that case, it’s twenty years ago…”
Upon hearing Tian Qi’s response, Ye Tian’s eyes suddenly shone brightly.
The city renovation in South City, the Black Hole Clan, Tian Liu’s tracking, finding nothing in the suburbs…
Everything he encountered in the South City unknowingly connected, like connecting countless dots into lines, enlightening Ye Tian!
Suddenly, Ye Tian figured it out!
He finally understood why he felt something was odd!
“I got it! I got it!”
Ye Tian shouted excitedly, and beside him, Tian Qi was immediately taken aback, not knowing why Ye Tian’s emotions fluctuated so dramatically.
After Ye Tian’s shouting ceased, Tian Qi cautiously asked, “Ye Tian, what are you talking about? What exactly did you figure out?”
Ye Tian glanced at Tian Qi again and said, “I figured it out, I figured everything out!”
“What? You’ve figured it all out?”
Tian Qi was utterly astonished. After just a few words with Ye Tian, he figured it all out. What exactly had he figured out?
“Qiqi, I know everything now! I’ve felt something strange ever since I arrived in South City, and now I understand why!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian took out a map of South City and handed it over to Tian Qi.
This map, Tian Qi had looked at countless times since arriving in South City. She didn’t understand the purpose of Ye Tian showing her the map.
“Ye Tian, what exactly is this…”
Feeling puzzled, Tian Qi asked, and Ye Tian immediately pointed to the map of South City, saying, “Qiqi, South City is just a border city. Generally speaking, border cities can’t be too large, right?”
“That’s actually true!”
Tian Qi nodded. It’s the same across all countries. Big cities are concentrated in the core areas of the country, whereas border areas have relatively small cities.
Ye Tian then explained, “This stems from wartime traditions. If a country’s border city is too large and holds the economic, political, and cultural lifelines of the nation, the losses would be tremendous if the enemy occupied it during wartime!”
“Mm! Mm…”
Ye Tian’s words made Tian Qi keep nodding.
Coming from the Black Hole Clan, Tian Qi was clueless about military affairs, so when Ye Tian explained why border cities are generally small, she suddenly understood.
Ye Tian continued, “So, border cities are always small, and South City was the same. But since over ten years ago, South City suddenly became prosperous!”
“…”
Ye Tian kept talking, and Tian Qi listened quietly, the most devoted listener to Ye Tian, also wanting to hear what exactly Ye Tian had figured out earlier.
“For a border city like South City, this is simply unbelievable. The transport in South City isn’t particularly convenient, and the economy isn’t very developed. Why would these multinational companies set up here? Why has the urban redevelopment been happening wave after wave? Why have the property prices in this city kept soaring? There must be deeper reasons behind this!”
“What reasons?”
Tian Qi eagerly asked, to which Ye Tian replied, “At first, I couldn’t figure it out at all, my mind was a mess. But later, I slowly understood the situation! Because you told me that the Black Hole Clan elders have a city-building ideology!
After you and Ye Xuong came to South City, the Black Hole Clan noticed your presence from the start but hadn’t made a move against you. It’s not out of compassion from the clan elders, but for another more important reason!”
“A more important reason?”
Tian Qi was stunned. Could it be that Tian Liu didn’t make a move against her and Ye Xuong due to another hidden reason?
“Exactly!” Ye Tian nodded heavily. “That’s because the Black Hole Clan is afraid that the city of South City couldn’t withstand the damage from battles with masters!”
“Afraid of the city’s destruction?”
Tian Qi grew increasingly puzzled. As Ye Tian said, if someone of Tian Qi’s martial level fought with full force, even a modern city would suffer damage.
Seeing Tian Qi bewildered, Ye Tian continued, “Yes, that’s exactly the case! Whether it’s Tian Liu’s actions or the unsuccessful search for the Black Hole Clan by the Night King Hall’s martial artists, there can only be one reason!
That is, South City is truly the base of the Black Hole Clan; their stronghold; the clan elders hide within the city, and to prevent exposure, the Black Hole Clan doesn’t allow anyone to damage the city!”
“Oh my god!?”
Ye Tian’s words left Tian Qi speechless.
Such an outlandish idea, yet there are logical bases that one couldn’t find any words to refute his deduction…
Even though the final conclusion was incredible, the series of evidence Ye Tian used to derive it was reasonable, and the reasoning process was flawless.
If it were someone else, they might not believe Ye Tian’s claims, but Tian Qi was a former member of the Black Hole Clan, and Ye Tian’s hypothesis led her into deep thought.
She came to South City with Ye Xuong only to investigate the whereabouts of the meat fragments with the Rakshasa Queen’s aura, but in South City, Tian Qi always smelled something familiar.
These scents made Tian Qi feel as if she had returned to her homeland…
Initially, Tian Qi thought it was because she missed her clansmen too much, but now it seems, perhaps this city of South City was built by the Black Hole Clan!
“Ye Tian, I also think you’re right, but how can we prove it? What you’ve said would just be nonsense without evidence!”
To Tian Qi’s questioning, Ye Tian just smiled faintly and said, “Evidence? Isn’t it easy to get evidence?”
Saying this, Ye Tian brought his lips close to Tian Qi’s ear, whispering softly, and she was immediately surprised by what she heard!
