RETURN OF THE EMPEROR

CHAPTER 35: ARIES EXPLANATION

Myro and the others had already returned to the patriarchal room of Myro, however this was an important matter of the Zodiac Sect so it was not good to resolve it in front of everyone.

Therefore, Myro allowed Sun Wu to clear all those useless elders along with letting the other elders start recruiting again. But this time the recruitment of disciples was further strengthened, each recruitment of disciples would be stared at by the ant warriors of the fire ant queen belonging to Zhi Li. Although these ants could not speak, they could use telepathy to talk to Zhi Li so that as long as there was another incident before then these fire ant warriors would report.

The whole room where they were gathered was very silent now, no one dared to speak out for fear of Myro's anger.

Not long after, the figure of Aries appeared. Aries face is now as white as paper and looks very tired, it looks like Scorpio has taught him a good lesson for these few days, Aries who was previously very active became a little more silent.

"Aries, give me enough explanation" said Myro styling Aries coldly "Didn't I have told you a few times? Even if you are my spirit, you must not participate in the sect government without my permission. But this time you dare to recruit elders when I do not give you permission, not to mention that all these elders are the worst, they have neither talent nor honesty. So give me your excuse, otherwise I'll let you spend another year with Scorpio".

"Master, no! It's misunderstanding! I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here!", said Aries kneeling on the ground "I am Aries indeed often acting alone without master's permission, but I know where my limits should be. So I cannot possibly follow the sect government without the permission of the master, the one who recruited these elders is not me! Aries will never break the word of master!".

Myro was a little surprised because he knew that Aries often acted foolishly, but as long as Myro asked him angrily then Aries would never lie. More precisely, all Myro zodiac spirits will not dare to lie when Myro is angry.

Myro does not blame Aries anymore, he believes in the spirit that has accompanied him for thousands of years in this previous life "Feka, are you sure the person who was with you at that time was Aries? Not someone else who is almost the same as Aries?".

"Sir, I would not dare to lie", Feka also knelt "If you do not believe, you can ask the other elders, as long as Feka lies then Feka is ready to receive the death penalty".

Myro looked towards the other Zhi Li, they actually nodded indicating that the person recruiting the elders was indeed Aries.

"What is really going on here?", asked Myro strangely, Aries did not admit wrong while others said that the culprit was Aries.

When Myro was thinking, Scorpio appeared before Myro's eyes with his spirit form "Master, I know that Aries does often act foolishly, but he will never go along on the affairs of the Zodiac Sect. I may often punish Aries for his reckless behavior, even though Aries never broke the rules of the master, even Aries never refused punishment from me due to the words of the master. I'm just here to say, I trust Aries".

The figure of Libra also appears "Master, I did not find any lies from Aries".

In addition to those 2 people, other zodiacs also give their support to Aries.

Myro also nodded, since Aries said that he was not the culprit then Myro believed him, but the problem now is who the real culprit is

"Is there a spirit belonging to someone else disguised as an Aries?" Myro said doubtfully.

Everyone became silent again, they did not know how to answer Myro's question.

Shi Yan held his head full of confusion "Then, what is strange about it?".

"Have you forgotten?" said Zhi Li staring at everyone "Aries was very quiet at the time, but Aries was always active and talkative, but Aries that day said almost nothing but to give a list of the elders he recruited. Isn't this weird? Aries who should have talked a lot turned silent that day?".

Everyone's eyes widened, they remembered that Aries that day did not talk too much, they had previously only thought that Aries was busy which made him not talk too much with them.

"The day after I went to the mine? Aries, aren't you supposed to guard the sect on that day? Why can't you realize that there is a spirit disguised as you coming to this sect?", Myro asked the still kneeling Aries, after all Myro knows that Aries has a sharp detection and observation ability, otherwise Aries cannot possibly know the secret of Cristi.

"The day after you went to the mine? Especially at night?", said Aries while thinking, he suddenly shouted "I remember! That day Cancer came to me at night carrying coffee, he said that Libra told him to come with me to guard the sect so that I wouldn't act recklessly!".

"Cancer?" said Myro.

Cancer's spirit figure had already appeared before Myro's eyes from earlier, he shook his head full of panic "Master, I never did that! The other zodiac spirits can prove it, we kept the master together on that day".

Libra goes along with the nod "I never let Cancer meet Aries, all the zodiac signs always look after the cultivating master except Aries".

"Is this also a Cancer in disguise?", Myro said back to looking at Aries "Why can't you realize a fake Cancer? Cancer says that he never met you to give coffee, this means that it was a fake Cancer. As part of the spirit of the zodiac, you should be able to distinguish between fake and genuine zodiac spirits even though the ability to disguise the enemy is very strong, right?".

"Sir, I believe Cancer is 100% genuine, the person who came to me that day must be Cancer!", said Aries confidently, he was sure that he was not wrong "At first Cancer was a little strange, he did not wear sunglasses or objects that fit his strange style, he only wore a white mask that covered his mouth. This certainly makes me suspicious too, after all Cancer never let go of his strange style of sunglasses".

"But I've confirmed it hundreds of times, even I told Cancer to remove the mask or try to attack Cancer to ensure its authenticity through force. After doing all that, I'm sure this Cancer is genuine, there's no doubt. Therefore, I was unsuspecting and talked to Cancer while drinking the coffee he was carrying".

Hearing everyone's explanation, Myro felt himself covered in smoke without knowing which was right or wrong.

The zodiacs will never misidentify the other zodiacs, even though the person in disguise is the spirit of the 5 Emperors. So it is almost impossible for Aries to misidentify Cancer.

The problem is that Cancer and the other zodiac spirits claim that during that time guarding Myro, Cancer never leaves the mine.

It seemed that the matter of the elder in the recruitment of this disciple was no small matter, perhaps this was a trap belonging to others for their Zodiac Sect or their target might be heading straight for Myro.
