Chapter 1306: Ashley's Purple Card
Chapter 1306: Ashley's Purple Card
2024-02-27
Ashley didn’t give Su Yu any prior notice or make an appointment; she simply showed up at the headquarters of the Blue Star Adventurers Guild.
Earlier, when the Stellar Rank leaders met with Su Yu, Ashley was there too. However, most of the conversation was led by Acting Chairman Lemor and Commander Dalandor, while Ashley remained mostly silent.
Now, she had come directly to see Su Yu.
Looking at him, Ashley offered a faint smile. "Su Yu, you've become the center of attention in the Nexus. Almost everyone is talking about you."
Su Yu chuckled. "That's to be expected."
He hadn’t checked the public network, but he was sure it was buzzing with discussions about him.
Su Yu asked, "So, what brings you here today?"
Ashley crossed her arms and laughed. "Can’t I just come to visit you without a specific reason?"
"Uh, well..." Su Yu was momentarily at a loss for words.
The high-ranking Blue Star members standing beside him also looked at Ashley with serious expressions. After all, she was a Stellar Rank being!
However, everyone remained relatively friendly.
From the last time Ashley paid a high price to acquire Dalak’s corpse, everyone had concluded that she was an ally.
Ashley continued to scrutinize Su Yu.
Honestly, she hadn’t planned to do anything in particular; she had no specific goal in mind.
Ashley was always a spontaneous person. She never acted with a clear purpose, never doing something just to achieve a goal.
Her decision to visit Su Yu this time was primarily due to a divination.
After the Stellar Rank leaders dispersed, Ashley performed a divination. She had done countless such divinations, but very few had yielded clear results.
She was trying to divine the future of the Holy Silver Federation.
Since the disappearance of the Hymn, she had performed the divination tens of thousands of times, hoping to understand the federation’s future.
But most of the time, her efforts were in vain. Only a handful of divinations provided clear and precise answers.
However, during this particular divination, she suddenly caught a thread of "connection."
"Connection" was a specialized term in divination. When a diviner captured a "connection," it meant that the answer to the divination was closely linked to something the diviner had experienced that day.
In other words, something Ashley experienced today was connected to the future of the Holy Silver Federation, though the connection might be very subtle.
Recalling her day, Ashley realized that the only significant event was her visit to the 170th Star Region to meet Su Yu.
Therefore, she concluded that Su Yu and the future of the Holy Silver Federation were somehow connected.
This realization prompted her to appear before Su Yu without any prior notice or appointment.
...
Now, as she observed Su Yu, Ashley felt a sense of wonder.
Su Yu’s bone age was shockingly low, as if he were a newborn human infant.
Ordinary Holy Silver citizens were still in school learning basic knowledge at the age of twenty to thirty, with most not exceeding the third tier in strength.
Yet, Su Yu was already a Planetary Rank being, a significant leader in his own right.
If not for the "Ascension War," such a miracle would have been impossible.
However, Ashley realized that it would be inappropriate to visit without doing anything.
She thought for a moment, then flicked her finger, and a purple card flew from her hand, slowly drifting into Su Yu’s.
She smiled and said, "As a gift, I’ll give you this card."
"Thank you, what is this card?" Su Yu asked, taking the card.
The card was about the size of a palm, rectangular in shape, and as clear as crystal. However, it contained a hazy, purple magical energy that seemed to carry an aura of destiny's unpredictability.
Su Yu sensed this faintly, but he wasn't a seer, so he could only get a vague feeling.
"Ashley, you are already a Planetary-level being, but that's not enough," Ashley said slowly. "At your current Planetary First Rank, you can't guarantee your own safety. Even within the Hub, there are many who could kill you, not to mention the threats from the Holy Silver Federation."
"True, that's a valid point," Su Yu agreed.
He had just ascended to the Planetary level and hadn't learned any Planetary-level spells or acquired any matching equipment. His strength was among the weakest at the Planetary level. Right now, he could only bully Eighth-Rank cultivators; any Planetary-level opponent would likely overpower him, leaving his safety uncertain.
But Su Yu wasn't worried.
After all, he had the AI Blue Whale, which was the best defensive tool, surpassing any Planetary-level defensive equipment!
If he encountered someone with ill intentions, he could just teleport away, ensuring his safety.
"As for this card, you can use it to contact me," Ashley said calmly. "If you encounter any problems you can't handle, just crush the card, and I will come to your side as quickly as possible. In the Figer Hub, I can be your backup."
"Ah, that's really—"
Su Yu was about to thank her, but Ashley interrupted him, "No need to thank me. This is also an investment in the 'future.' Goodbye, Su Yu. I believe the future you will create miracles!"
With that, a hazy purple light flashed, and Ashley vanished from the spot, leaving no trace.
She left with the same grace and speed with which she had arrived, the purple light dissipating as if she had never been there.
...
Seeing Ashley leave so abruptly, Su Yu and the other high-ranking Blue Star cultivators were momentarily stunned.
She had come and gone just as quickly.
However, one thing was certain: she was willing to be Su Yu's support and had given him a form of protection.
"Lady Ashley is really good to us!" After a moment, Aijie exclaimed. "I remember that during the last auction, she offered the highest bid for the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse."
"That's right, it was Lady Ashley who offered the highest bid," Yun Zhongmudi added. "And there's more to the story. About three Figer months later, Lady Ashley resold the Dark Thunder Dragon's corpse to the Lemo Mercenary Group."
"Oh? Really?" Su Yu looked at him.
He hadn't known this follow-up. So, Ashley hadn't kept the dragon's corpse?
"Of course, it's true," Yun Zhongmudi replied. "Lady Ashley resold the dragon's corpse to the Lemo Mercenary Group, but at a lower price than the auction. It's said she sold it for 450 billion, resulting in a loss of 100 billion."
"A loss of 100 billion?" Su Yu's lips twitched.
Ashley had auctioned the dragon's corpse not to keep it for herself but to support him.
And now, she had even come to offer her backing.
It seemed they could now consider Ashley an ally, and currently, their only one.
Of course, the Figer New Star Adventure Team was not included.
"Xiao Tian," at that moment, Xu Xiaotian tugged at his sleeve. "Lady Ashley has shown such sincerity. Shouldn't we also give her something to show our sincerity?"
