World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 238 - 123 Forgotten Too Much

As Dane spoke, everyone present looked at him with some surprise.

Zhang Xiaoman needn’t be mentioned; after Lin Sisi carried out her probe, she had thought that he knew nothing about the brother identity granted by the System and had prepared herself for a long haul.

But now, unexpectedly, the situation had taken a turn, and he seemed to indeed know something.

By his side, Sam was looking at his own brother with a bewildered expression. What on earth was he talking about? Guardian? How could he know anything about a Guardian?

For him, all of this was shrouded in an inexplicable strangeness.

Peculiarly garbed people, baffling conversations, voices like auditory hallucinations, and his brother’s somewhat neurotic reactions—all these things seemed so abnormal.

"Dane, that joke’s not the least bit funny. Do you think that finding two people to act in your play would deceive me? This trick of yours is just too childish!"

Sam felt like he had guessed something and spoke with some displeasure.

However, Dane paid him no mind, his gaze still fixed on the robed man opposite, hoping to see the result he anticipated from the other’s reaction.

Finally, Zhang Xiaoman turned back, seemingly having temporarily abandoned the idea of leaving.

Seeing this, Dane couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"So, tell me, what do you still know about the Guardian?"

Zhang Xiaoman’s voice rose again, unhurried as ever, still using the Huaxia language, but oddly enough, its content registered directly in the mind like a psychic Engraving, making the meaning clear.

In response to this, Dane’s own guess became even more firm.

"Sir, I think the Guardian you are looking for is our Wencheen family!"

Next to him, Sam was still reeling from the peculiar psychic language. Hearing Dane’s words suddenly, he looked at him again, his eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.

Guardian?

The Wencheen family?

Why don’t I know anything about this?

Where did he hear about it?

Suddenly, Sam thought of a possibility.

Could it be related to something our father was involved in? Did father tell him?

But those supernatural things, weren’t they all fake?

Not far away, Zhang Xiaoman showed an interested expression when he heard the other’s words. It seemed that the Wencheen family did know a bit about the Guardian.

He stepped forward, heading back, and as the distance between them narrowed, Dane seemed to see a flash of silver under the cover of the other’s hooded cloak...

This discovery shook both of them to their core, the scene before them was like something out of the legends about Mages, filling them with astonishment.

Dane took a deep breath and started to recall the contents of the diary left by his father, speaking out loud:

"900 years ago, the Wencheen family was just an ordinary household. Due to the impact of the wars at the time, our ancestors wandered far and wide, with no stable home."

"Afterwards, 20 years later, an ancestor, Quinn Winchester, swore an oath to join an organization and was given a mission to guard something, and since then, our family began to prosper..."

"It’s just a pity that the Wencheen family suffered a great fire 300 years ago, and it seems that in that disaster, we lost some important inheritances. Since then, our family has never recovered, going downhill to what it is today..."

He spoke with a touch of melancholy, "I am very sorry, sir... Due to the missing records in the family, my understanding of past events is limited. This is all the information I could find... However, I believe that the Guardian you mentioned should indeed be the Wencheen family..."

Dane finished speaking and looked towards the person in front of him with trepidation, fearing that they would be unsatisfied with his answer and leave in dissatisfaction.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaoman found the other’s demeanor somewhat speechless.

How could he know anything else? The System had only provided the name and address of this younger brother. As for family history or legacy, there was absolutely no description.

Thus, regarding what Dane had just shared, it was also Xiao Man’s first time hearing about it. How could he blame the other for telling a story that was too short?

After all, he was here to gain benefits, not to conduct an archaeological dig.

However, he still needed to maintain appearances. His eyes, glowing with a silver light, watched Dane for a long while before he finally nodded slightly and said,

"Not bad, although you have forgotten much about the past, you still remember your identity. I am quite relieved."

As his voice fell, Dane unconsciously exhaled a sigh of relief, and the immense pressure on him seemed to lift somewhat. Even Sam at his side felt inexplicably a bit more at ease.

"So, may I know the purpose of your visit? Is there anything that the Wencheen family needs to do?" Dane asked. Though his words were casual, his eyes betrayed a glimmer of anticipation.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him, then said, "The Fusion has started anew, Alien Species are invading our world, and the Star Alliance needs the Guardians to return..."

His voice was soft, but it managed to reach the ears of everyone present, carrying a ripple of emotion that seemed to intertwine with a tinge of worry. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Although Zhang Xiaoman’s voice wasn’t loud, to Dane’s ears, it sounded like a thunderclap on a dry day.

Fusion?

Alien Species?

Star Alliance?

These words alone were enough to trigger endless speculation.

Just a short sentence, yet in Dane’s mind, it seemed to conjure up a series of fantastical and mystical scenes, flashing images causing his heart to beat faster involuntarily.

"Then, may I ask... do you seek us out? What can the Wencheen family do for this cause?"

His tone was filled with apprehension, like that of a child waiting for college entrance examination results.

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him but slowly shook his head.

"I indeed came for you, but it seems now that the Wencheen family has forgotten too much, and you have yet to meet my requirements..."

His words struck Dane like a bolt from the blue, leaving him standing dumbfounded, like a marionette without its strings, silent for a long time.

After a while, Dane came back to his senses. He looked at the mysterious man before him, his eyes brimming with anxiety and unwillingness.

"But, sir... I, I have been preparing for this day for twenty years! I cannot give up just like that! Please, give me a chance! I believe I can meet your requirements!"

Zhang Xiaoman looked at him in surprise.

"You say you’ve been preparing for twenty years?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

A trace of sadness appeared on Dane’s face as he spoke,

"Back then, I was still a child, and Sam was only a few months old. I can never forget the night our mother’s figure was buried in the sea of flames..."
