Huaiqing took a deep look at Heaven Gu Granny. Her originally relaxed and happy mood turned heavy.
She grabbed the fragment of the Earth Book and sent a message to Number 3.
[Ning Yan, return to the capital quickly.]
Huaiqing was no longer the illiterate Huaiqing from before. Since they were already husband and wife, she did not hide it anymore. Calling Xu Yinluo sounded distant, but it was definitely not to anger the Flying Sparrow Heroine.
[Three: What's the matter? I'll be in Leizhou soon.]
[One: Heaven Gu Granny has foreseen the future and insists on seeing you. Judging from her expression, it's probably not a good thing.]
Although Heaven Gu Granny did not say anything, Huaiqing still guessed the truth.
When the Buddha attacked the Central Plains, he still insisted on Xu Qi'an's return to inform him in person. This meant that the matter was more serious than the battle in Leizhou.
And the way Heaven Gu Granny obtained "information" was self-evident.
Heaven Gu!
Even though Xu Qi 'an was a crude martial artist, his brain was not crude. He understood what Huai Qing was thinking with just a thought.
It was definitely not normal for Heaven Gu Granny to rush to the capital through the town's teleportation array.
He immediately sent a reply.
[Wait for me!]
Xu Qi'an, who was less than 15 minutes away from Leizhou, turned around and returned the way he came.
Under the night sky, a black shadow flashed by. His flight caused a deafening sonic boom, causing the people in the cities and towns along the way to mistakenly think that a thunderstorm was coming.
But when they looked up, the full moon shone brightly and the night sky was clear. There was clearly not a single raincloud.
In the palace, Heaven Gu Granny paced back and forth anxiously, coughing from time to time. Her face was ashen, and people were worried that she would fall sick at any moment.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the imperial study was heavy. Chu Caiwei pursed her lips. As a Supervisor, she did not dare to eat.
Song Qing's eyes were closed, and his body was swaying slightly as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
In the past three days, he had only slept for four hours. When facing the refining equipment, he could always burst out with energy that even the Son of Saint envied.
But once he left the alchemy laboratory, he could not help but doze off.
The eunuchs in the imperial study lowered their heads and did not say a word. Even though it was already past dinner time, they could only order the imperial kitchen to heat the dishes and keep them warm, not daring to disturb them.
Finally, a figure flashed in the hall. and Xu Qi'an returned.
Seeing him return, Granny Heavenly Gu's eyes lit up, and she visibly relaxed. Leaning on the crutch, she staggered to the big chair beside her and sat down.
"Granny!"
Xu Qi 'an strode over, held her hand, and transferred his Qi into her body as he asked,
"Qi'an". "Xu Gu Qi'an"
Granny Heavenly Gu glanced at Chu Caiwei, Song Qing, and Huai Qing, who was behind the table.
"Master" Gu, she "Gu" at.
Huai Qing looked at Xu Qi 'an and saw him nod.
Huaiqing looked at Xu Qi'an and led Chu Caiwei and the others out of the Stargazing Tower.
When only Xu Qi'an and the Gu Gu Ancestor were left in the imperial study, he raised his palm and erected a Qi barrier, completely isolating himself from the outside world.
When there were only Xu Qi 'an and the Heavenly Voodoo Grandma left in the imperial study, he raised his palm high and propped up a Qi dynamic barrier, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
Only then did Granny Heavenly Gu feel relieved. She took a deep breath and said,
"I peered into the future and saw your fall. I saw the transcendent-grade beings devour the destiny of the Nine States. The living beings of the Nine States turned to ashes, and not even one in ten survived."
"In the future you saw, I can't become an Einherjar?"
"In the future you saw, I can't become an Einherjar?"
The Gu Gu Ancestor nodded.
If I can't become an Einherjar in the future, what's wrong? "One premise and two conditions. After cultivating with Huaiqing, my providence will be prosperous, which should be enough … Not recognized by the world? "But the carving knife said that I've already achieved this achievement …" Xu Qi'an thought.
"The last condition is to be recognized by the world!"
If he really couldn't become an Einherjar in the future, there must be something wrong with this step.
"Granny, you didn't call me back just to tell me the bad news, right?"
Xu Qi'an stopped thinking and looked at the wrinkled old lady.
The Gu Gu Ancestor nodded.
"The abnormalities of the Poison God and the Buddha are like a fishbone stuck in my throat. I can't ignore them. After the juniors went to Thunder State, I took the initiative to peep into the future. I finally know why the Poison God went to sea. "
Xu Qi'an held his breath subconsciously.
The Gu Gu Ancestor paused. When she spoke again, her voice had become hoarse and weak.
"He wants to kill the Supervisor."
Kill the Supervisor?!
The Poison God went to sea to kill the Supervisor. Now, the Supervisor was just a Destiny Master. Why did he choose to go to sea to kill the Supervisor?
This answer was unbelievable to Xu Qi'an. He had never thought of it.
He thought about it and said,
"As long as the Daibun Dynasty is alive, the Supervisor will not die."
The Destiny Master was the same age as the country. As long as the Daibun Dynasty was alive, the Supervisor would not die. Desolation, who was half a step away from the Supreme Grade, could not kill the Supervisor and could only choose to seal him.
Of course, Xu Qi'an could not guarantee that the Supreme Grade could not kill the Supervisor.
After all, the warlock system had only existed for six hundred years. During these six hundred years, the Supreme Grade had never attacked the Destiny Master.
The Gu Gu Ancestor shook her head.
"I can't give you a detailed answer because I can only peep into the future. But the Supervisor is indeed dead. His death made everything irreversible."
Xu Qi 'an replied with a "hmm". His expression was solemn, and his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.
"If this is the case, the Poison God's action of going to sea and the Buddha's restraint have a reasonable explanation."
But why would killing the supervisor push the situation into an irreversible abyss?
In addition, Xu Qi'an thought of another point. The Supervisor could not be killed by the Supreme Grade.
The reason was simple. Once Desolation returned to the Supreme Grade, he would not let the Supervisor go. So there was no need for the Poison God to go to sea.
But there was a logical paradox here. If Desolation couldn't kill the Supervisor, what was the point of the Poison God going to sea?
No one could give him an answer to these questions.
The Gu Gu Ancestor held Xu Qi'an's hand and said word by word,
"What you have to do is to go to sea and save the Supervisor. Otherwise, everything will be over."
Xu Qi'an nodded silently. He stared at the Gu Gu Ancestor's face which was full of age spots and said softly,
"What else do you want to say to me, Grandma?"
The Gu Gu Ancestor's eyes turned soft and she smiled.
"After the great calamity, I don't know how many of the leaders will survive.
"I hope Xu Yinluo can treat the Gu Clan and Luan Yu well.
"In the future, if the Gu Clan wants to leave Daibun and return to Nanjiang, just let them be. Don't make things difficult for them.
"If they are willing to integrate into Daibun, please give them some sovereignty. Don't let the imperial court oppress them.
"If the catastrophe is difficult, just let them be."
The Gu Gu Ancestor propped up her old body and stood firm. She put down her walking stick and solemnly bowed to Xu Qi'an.
"The journey overseas is dangerous and unpredictable. I thank Xu Yinluo on behalf of the people of Jiuzhou."
Xu Qi'an did not dodge but nodded silently.
After bowing, the Gu Gu Ancestor sat back in the chair, leaned back, and closed her eyes peacefully.
Xu Qi'an took three steps back, bowed, and said,
"Take care, Grandma!"
…
"Creak …"
The door of the imperial study opened slowly. Huaiqing, who was waiting under the eaves, suddenly turned around. She first glanced at Xu Qi'an, then glanced over his shoulder and looked at the Gu Gu Ancestor who was sitting in the chair with her head down.
The empress, who was already mentally prepared, sighed in her heart as her eyes dimmed.
"What did she say?"
She asked because there were maids and eunuchs next to her.
Xu Qi'an told Huaiqing about the future that the Gu Gu Ancestor had seen.
Those who revealed the secret would be attacked by the Heavenly Dao.
The reason why the Gu Gu Ancestor asked everyone to leave and only Xu Qi'an was that if there were too many people, she might die of the attack before she could reveal the secret.
"This …" The Empress's pupils shrank and she stood still like a puppet.
Ten seconds later, a strong sense of despair surged in her heart.
Xu Qi'an was no match for the Gu God, not to mention there was Desolation. If a half-step Martial God faced two supreme masters, the result would be obvious.
Shen Shu's past was Xu Qi'an's future.
No, with Huang's ability to devour heaven and earth, together with the Poison God, Xu Qi 'an wouldn't even get special treatment.
It was a dead end.
As for the Central Plains, without Xu Qi'an, Shen Shu couldn't do anything alone. How could he resist the pressure of Buddha?
Besides, the Sorcerer God was about to break the seal.
"Ning Yan …"
Huai Qing's face was deathly pale as he let out a cry of despair.
"Saving the Supervisor doesn't mean I have to fight with the Gu God and Desolation. I'll come back as soon as possible. Before that, the Central Plains is in your hands.
"Your Majesty, please inform the Heaven & Earth Society and Duke Wei about what happened here."
After Xu Qi 'an finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to teleport away.
Huai Qing's back was suddenly hugged, followed by Huai Qing's trembling voice.
"You must come back."
The maids and eunuchs were dumbfounded and stood still.
Xu Qi'an answered in a low voice and disappeared from the arms of the Female Empress.
At this moment, Chu Caiwei saw the tears in the Female Empress's eyes.
"Caiwei, Song Qing, follow me."
Huaiqing asked the maids and eunuchs to stay outside the Imperial Study.
She strode forward and passed through the corridor that was covered with expensive lichen. When she returned to her seat, her gaze became sharp again, and her expression became cold. The weakness that she had shown in front of Xu Qi 'an was nowhere to be seen.
She was the monarch of a country again.
"Do you know how to gather fate as an emperor?"
Huaiqing asked slowly.
…
In the Xu Mansion.
When Xu Qi'an returned to the mansion, the banquet was over and the lights in the inner hall were off. Everyone in the mansion was talking or sleeping in the room.
In the bridal room, Lin An was wearing thin pajamas and was playing Gomoku with her personal maid. There was a bowl of soup in her hand.
During the period when she first became a wife, the dog servant asked for too much day and night. Lin 'an blindly read a few medical books. She was deeply afraid that his energy would be seriously exhausted and his body would suffer, so every night, she would ask the palace maids to secretly boil the kidney tonic soup.
Now, she understood that she was too young at that time and didn't know how strong and terrifying a First Grade Warrior was.
However, she still asked the palace maids to brew the kidney-nourishing soup at night, because it was not prepared for Xu Qi 'an, but for herself.
"Lin An!"
The ghostly appearance of Xu Qi'an startled both of them.
Lin An patted her chest, which was far smaller than her sister's, and said,
"What are you doing? Don't you know how to knock and come in?"
Xu Qi'an waved his hand and sent the maid away. He then carried his wife to the bed and put her on his lap. He buried his face in her hair and whispered,
"I'm going to sea again. This time it won't be long, but it may be a long time."
"Going to sea again!" Lin An glared at him and suddenly found that her husband's eyes and expression were different from usual.
Indescribably different.
For some reason, she couldn't help but feel lost and perplexed.
She stammered,
"What are you going to do?"
Xu Qi'an didn't answer. Lin An was a heartless sparrow. She only needed to peck people. The national affairs and the rise and fall of the world shouldn't be her trouble.
He hugged Lin An silently for a moment until she fell asleep under the influence of the hypnotic gas.
Xu Qi'an then teleported to Second Uncle and Aunt's room. Aunt's voice came from the room,
"Let me tell you, I found a secret of Sister Mu. It was the little fox who told me."
Then Second Uncle's voice came,
"What secret?"
"The little fox said that Sister Mu was very beautiful, but the Bodhi bracelet on her wrist changed her appearance." Aunt said plausibly.
"What's so strange about that?" Second Uncle wasn't surprised at all. He said, "She must be a beauty."
"How do you know?" Aunt's tone changed.
"But she's having an affair with Ning Yan. How can a woman that your nephew likes be ugly?" The second Uncle Xu also said plausibly.
"Oh, I just suspect that they're having an affair." Aunt said.
"The whole family suspects it. That's for sure." The second Uncle Xu said.
"Alas, Ning Yan slept with so many women. Why didn't he give me a grandson?" Aunt sighed.
Outside the room, under the dimly lit eaves, Xu Qi'an knelt down and kowtowed toward the door.
…
In the little girl's room.
Xu Qi'an sat on the edge of the bed and touched his little sister's head. Xu Lingyin was lying on her back, sleeping soundly.
The maidservant who took care of her was very responsible. She knew that Miss Xu didn't sleep well, so she dressed her up very tightly. Other than her head, her hands and her two little feet were exposed.
Xu Qi'an pinched her chubby face, put his hands under Xu Lingyin's armpits, and picked her up.
He didn't say anything, nor did he continue. He just hugged her in silence for a while.
…
Xu Lingyue hadn't rested yet. Bright candlelight shone through the slightly opened window.
Beside the round table, a beautiful and refined girl was wearing an embroidered robe. In the candlelight, her eyes were bright and clear, and her delicate features were as gentle as jade.
After biting off the thread, she felt something and looked at the window.
It was dark outside. There was nothing.
