Chapter 1231  Yu Shun - Part 1

Yu Shun sat next to the window of his room, looking at the three buildings where the Tang Empire operated. Before Antorias took over his mind and body, that was his home, he lived there. After that incident, he gave up his authority and position in the Tang Empire even though The Emperor did not take them from him. Despite his betrayal, The Emperor still trusted him and wanted him to continue.

However, Yu Shun was aware of what The Emperor would have gone through if he remained. His Majesty would face heavy criticism from the people and also the other officers. He was a traitor, and he was supposed to be executed.

”Itʼs time for lunch, Honey,” A sweet womanʼs voice entered his ear, calling him out from his deep thoughts. He turned toward the voice, a woman with a white apron, standing at the door with a sweet smile. She was the reason he was still alive. If not for her, he would kill himself, getting what he deserved for betraying His Majestyʼs trust in him.

”Coming right away,” Yu Shun got from the chair. Another reason he did not want to remain was that he still could hear Antorias whisper in his head. That was the main reason. He was afraid that Antorias would get him again, and he would do something more terrible than what he had done before.

The whisper was still strong, and Antorias kept telling him that His Majesty was dead. He did not know why Antorias kept saying that in his head while His Majestyʼs name was still on the member list. Of course, he did not respond to the whisper, totally ignoring the whisper.

Yu Shun put on a smile as he got closer to the dining table, ”What we got for today…” He forced himself to act happy in front of his wife, making sure he was not burdening her with his negative emotions. In his fifth spoon, someone knocked on their apartment room. Yu Shun and his wife exchanged glances. It was rare for people to visit them, especially after the war started in the Dimensional Tower.

Usually, Kang Xue or Zhang Mengyao would come to visit them. His friends in the Tarrior would come to him to check on him, but this was the busiest moment for the Tarrior. The last person that came to visit them was Elinova, three days ago, and Elin was the only one who visited them this month. Both were sure it was not Elin as she was just here three days ago.

Yu Shun got up from the chair, ”Let me welcome the guest.” Luo Lan got the clue and was slightly worried. There were many people holding a grudge against Yu Shun, and she was worried that people would come for the grudge.

Yu Shun opened the door and was surprised to see his friend, Lu An. He was not expecting a visit from Lu An, the busiest person in the Tang Empire right now. He was the head of TEID, the person who controlled the information for the Tang Empire.

”Yo, long time no see,” Lu An grinned, waving his hand. Yeon Hee was next to him, slapping his hand away, ”You look silly, stop it,” then she turned toward Yu Shun, ”Are we disturbing you? Should we come later?”

Yu Shun snapped out of his surprise and shook his head, ”Oh, no. Come in. Come in,”

Lu An and Yeon Hee entered the small apartment. Lu An furrowed his brow at how small the apartment was, ”Why did you leave your old apartment to stay in this small apartment? Look, your summonerʼs head almost touches the ceiling with how small the apartment is.”

In the corner of the room, Yu Shunʼs undead was standing still. After the incident, he was left with one undead, and he did not plan to take more undead with him. One was enough, he just needed one to guard his wife. The last undead was the swordsman undead, the undead with sword-hand.

Luo Lan was worried when she saw the guest. Not because he was afraid of Lu An, but because she was afraid that Lu An would bring her husband back to the Tang Empire. She was satisfied with what they had right now and hoped to continue with their current life. She no longer worried that her husband would die in the battle somewhere, in a foreign land. They had enough to fill their belly and pay the rent with her job as well. This was good, and she did not want to change it.

Yu Shun smiled and shook his head, ”You know, I donʼt deserve to live there anymore after what I did.” He could not mask the guilt and the sadness in his tone.

”Who will judge you? If Brother Shaoyang says thatʼs your home, then thatʼs your home. It does not matter what other people have to say. Thatʼs your home, and how can you not deserve to stay at your home? It made no sense, at all,” Lu An rolled his eyes.

He called The Emperor casually with Brother Shaoyang because he and Yu Shun were used to calling The Emperor Brother Shaoyang. The only two people who had the privilege to call him that.

Yu Shun just shook his head, ”What are you doing here? I thought you were busy with the current war.” No one informed Yu Shun, but he was still in the same core group of the Communication System. He could tell what happened in the frontline even though he was not with them.

”I am busy, but I have decided to take three days off. A little bit refreshing vacation to relieve my stress,” Lu An grinned, then he looked Yu Shun in the eyes, ”Of course, I am joking. I am still on duty…. Oh, you donʼt know?” Yu Shun frowned.

”We have pulled back from the Dimensional Tower. The situation is not good, and we have to focus our force back to Earth….” Lu An updated the situation about the other factions who just arrived on the eleventh floor and brought back mercenaries from the Federation of Allurion, ”We decide to change our battlefield back on Earth, and thereʼs a chance that the people on the same level as Antorias will invade Earth. We arenʼt sure if it will happen, but The Federation of Allurion and The Divine Church have conquered a few worlds, and their next target is Earth.”
