8 Stones of Eternity
Confession From Yuan Zhen.

Chapter 64. Yuan Zhen's Confession.

Cao Tian Jun finally relented as the transport ship was about to depart, he followed Yuan Zhen who had already boarded after the ticket inspection.

While on the deck of the ship, there were already many people who had boarded, among them there was not a single soldier from the Xia Empire nor from the Nine Heavens Kingdom, there were only passengers and crew on board. While the disciples and teachers of the Ninth Heaven School, rode on the ship belonging to the Nine Heavens Kingdom.

Yuan Zhen spoke in a soft voice with his lips close to Cao Tian Jun's ears, "you will sleep outside because we are not a couple!"

"Just kid! You're the one who's supposed to sleep outside, that's my ticket!" reject Cao Tian Jun who is obviously unwilling.

"Huuu...! Don't say it out loud, fool!" angered Yuan Zhen who was worried about being discovered if they were not a married couple. If caught, then the two of them will be expelled from the transport ship.

"You are stupid! You're very cunning and a liar!" reply Cao Tian Jun who did not accept.

Not wanting Cao Tian Jun's voice to be heard by the passengers, Yuan Zhen immediately shut the irritating man's mouth, then he said forcefully, "alright, you can stay in my room!"

Because the journey to Mount Kapur is very far away, each passenger is given a room according to the ticket price. Therefore, the ticket that Cao Tian Jun bought was more expensive than the economy class ticket.

Cao Tian Jun released Yuan Zhen's right hand which smothered his mouth, he glared but did not reply to his words. He followed Yuan Zhen who entered the transport cabin.

The passengers smiled at the behavior of two couples who quarreled, they felt if it was a common thing experienced by young married couples.

When he entered the transport ship's room, Cao Tian Jun saw that there was only one bed, and two seats with one table, then there was another facility in the form of a bathroom. Then he saw Yuan Zhen casually laying down his body on the iron bed.

Cao Tian Jun could only let out a long sigh, then he sat down by the window of the room. He saw the fleet of spacecraft move first.

"How long do we get to our destination?" cao Tian Jun asked as he looked at Yuan Zhen who was taking off his disguise.

After the layered clothes were removed, Cao Tian Jun was slightly surprised, his article Yuan Zhen was wearing the core disciple uniform from the center of the White Dove Academy, the official said, he was not careful when he checked on Yuan Zhen while he was in the shop.

"So you're a student! Definitely, you came out of the academy without permission, right?" cao Tian Jun's guess with his eyes noticed Yuan Zhen's beautiful face.

Yuan Zhen sighed heavily, folding his disguise, then he stared at the window of the room while speaking, "my family is in danger, how can I keep quiet!"

Cao Tian Jun nodded in understanding of Yuan Zhen's feelings. Had he been in his position, obviously would have done the same, family to anyone is more valuable than anything.

"If there are no obstacles, we will arrive at the Lou Flower Pier within one and a half days," said Yuan Zhen who answered Cao Tian Jun's question a moment ago.

"Rest, you need full energy in order to meet your family" said Cao Tian Jun who wanted Yuan Zhen to sleep quietly in his absence.

"Wait!" prevent Yuan Zhen before Cao Tian Jun stands up.

"What's wrong?" cao Tian Jun's astonished question, already given the chance to sleep by himself still prevented it.

"Can I ask for your help?" please Yuan Zhen.

"What help? If I am able and do not cross the line of tolerance, I will accept it!"

Yuan Zhen developed a warm smile, then he saw Cao Tian Jun sitting back down. "Will you deliver until you meet my family!" the door with hope.

Yes, Yuan Zhen was unlikely to travel far into Star Sea Kingdom alone, whether she was a woman.

Other than the journey still far away and the many obstacles, the greatest danger came from the mystic beasts and the bandits.

After the transport ship arrived at the Lou Flower Pier, then Yuan Zhen had to continue the journey that was still very far away, he had to pass through the Limestone Mountain, which was the only one in the world, Dead Wood Forest (Dead Wood Forest) is very broad and dense, and Misty Gorge (Misty Abyss) which became the base of the bandits, and after that only arrived at the nearest city.

"Don't you better join the army?" investigate Cao Tian Jun who was astonished why Yuan Zhen asked him to accompany the trip, even though his goal was the same as that of the imperial army.

Yuan Zhen again sighed heavily due to Cao Tian Jun's question, there was a heavy burden that stuck up his heart. There is something that is reluctant to be said to others, something that is very secret.

"The land of the Middle East Continent has been fighting mystic beasts for these few days, whereas the message of help from King Yuan should have been received by Emperor Xia. But in fact, Emperor Xia sent troops very, very late. Are you not suspicious of Emperor Xia's late goal of sending help?" Yuan Zhen explained briefly, and asked Cao Tian Jun back.

Obviously Cao Tian Jun was confused, he had only been at Bai Ma Pier for the first time, being a disciple was also still new, and had already been asked about political matters, it was clear he knew nothing, especially the plan of the rulers.

Looking at his face, Yuan Zhen was blown away at the good looks of this obnoxious man, his annoyance that was buried in the heart in an instant evaporated.

"I got dizzy thinking about something far from my insight! My real goal is to go to the Eye of God College. If I were to take you all the way to the capital of the Star Sea Kingdom, it would be the same if I were to travel twice as far. But, if you want to follow me first until my business is in order, then I will take you to your destination!" said Cao Tian Jun who subtly rejected Yuan Zhen's request, then he looked at him like a gawking fool looking at him.

Hearing Cao Tian Jun's refusal, Yuan Zhen instantly turned red in annoyance. The handsome face in his eyes instantly disappeared, he seemed to see a man who did not care about beauty.

"Men today are hard to ask for help. They only want to help if there are frills!" the insinuations of Yuan Zhen who thought Cao Tian Jun refused because there was no charge.

The enraged Cao Tian Jun instantly stood up, he walked out of the room. He was lazy to argue with Yuan Zhen whom he considered arrogant.

"Where are you, wait... Don't go!" prevent Yuan Zhen from immediately blocking the door before Cao Tian Jun came out.

"What the hell! Move over!" cao Tian Jun's new first snarl was rude to women.

"I am a princess of the king, only this time it is necessary to be bad and disrespected by others. King Yuan is my father, you should have followed all my wishes!" yuan Zhen said in a proud and arrogant tone.

Cao Tian Jun clenched his jaw until the sound of teeth grinding rang out, he was already furious this time. Before slapping Yuan Zhen's cheek, he recalled the teacher's message.

"Whatever women are, they remain weak. Women use their feelings in the face of everything. And, if you hit him, it's very easy. Therefore, treat all women like your mother."

Cao Tian Jun took a deep breath to temper his emotions. Then he sat down and looked out the window. Outside the window, there were two warships flanking the ship he was aboard.

"Yes, you should have been like this. Subject to a king's daughter!" yuan Zhen said in a proud tone as he watched Cao Tian Jun follow his orders, "after you deliver me, King Yuan will definitely give a very generous reward."

Cao Tian Jun had indeed heard Yuan Zhen's words clearly, but he ignored them. In his mind, what if a princess of the king had to sneak out of the academy?

If it was indeed a princess of the king, there should have been her bodyguards, it would be impossible to travel alone, let alone travel very far and many dangers, strangely he thought.

Yuan Zhen was again upset that Cao Tian Jun had ignored him. Before he was angry, there was the sound of the soldiers screaming for someone very important.

Cao Tian Jun glanced at Yuan Zhen as the soldiers who were looking for someone called out the name of King Yuan's daughter. He saw Yuan Zhen was extremely panicked and hurriedly put on a disguise outfit.

"You're looking for them, do I need to go out and tell them?" said Cao Tian Jun innocently.

"Please, no. I beg!" Yuan Zhen immediately replied that he did not want Cao Tian Jun to reveal his whereabouts.

Cao Tian Jun smiled faintly, after which he asked, "talk honestly. Something actually happened between the Star Sea Kingdom and the Xia Empire? Why are you so scared?"

Yuan Zhen who was asked was walking back and forth in the small room, he was very frightened and panicked because he was being sought by the soldiers. He immediately racked his brain to find a way to escape the pursuit.

"If I tell you the truth, will you help me?" please Yuan Zhen in a gentle tone, worthy of a king's daughter.

Cao Tian Jun shook his head as women's emotions quickly changed. A moment ago like a demon, a second later it had already turned into an angel.

"Yes!" Cao Tian Jun replied briefly.

Yuan Zhen sat back down but was still unsettled as the soldiers got closer to his room.

"Actually, the Star Sea Kingdom and the Xia Empire are not in a situation that is fine! Although the Star Sea Kingdom was taken by Emperor Xia, my father did not immediately submit because the natural results of the Mainland of the Middle East Continent were always exploited by them. Father wanted to be separated from imperial power, but because he lost his support and wealth," Yuan Zhen told Cao Tian Jun in haste.

In essence, King Yuan did not want to obey the rules of the imperial government, because all this time it had only been utilized. During this time, the empire requested taxes beyond the normal limits, and during that time King Yuan was still able to pay them thanks to the abundant natural resources.

However, when King Yuan was in trouble, the Xia Empire always turned a blind eye, one of which had recently occurred. Therefore, King Yuan wanted to separate himself from Emperor Xia's grip.

"... If I get caught... You already know what's gonna happen to me." Yuan Zhen finished telling the truth.

Yuan Zhen fled from the center of the White Dove Academy upon hearing of the collapse of the Star Sea Kingdom. Still in fact, he escaped not because he wanted to help his family, but was being chased by Emperor Xia to be taken hostage.

Due to the collapse of the Star Sea Kingdom, then the Xia Empire would easily exploit its natural wealth. And, this was the goal of Emperor Xia who deliberately overdue sent reinforcements.
