A16 Manor, side hall.
Ge Leige was just about to open his mouth when an extremely dazzling light suddenly flashed outside the window, followed by a loud noise and violent tremors.
"Boom — Boom —"
In an instant, it was as if the ground was collapsing, and the manor's buildings tilted down a little.
Ge Leige froze in place. Before he could react, he was pulled by inertia and fell directly to the ground. The servants and guards who followed closely behind all rushed in and were thrown into disorder. In the panic, the butler was awakened by the fall. He got up and shouted in an attempt to maintain order. The scene was chaotic.
"Calm down, calm down! Master, master, are you okay?! What's going on outside … "
The loyal steward wiped the blood off his face and rushed over to support his master.
Ji Bonong was a little speechless as he looked at the butler who was more flustered than him. He couldn't help but shake his head, patted the butler's hand, and said in a low voice, "It's okay. It's probably an earthquake."
He looked at the gradually subsiding light outside, and his spiritual sense was still beating faintly as if in pain.
Although his thoughts were still a little chaotic, he looked at the clock-wheel worm in Boss Lin's hand and roughly understood what had happened just now.
Time had been reset, and the entire time had begun to flow again like an hourglass in reverse. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Although it looked no different from before, the sand flowing down was no longer in the original order of the sand. In other words, the explosion, flash, and shaking in front of them seemed to be seamlessly connected with the scene a few seconds ago, but in fact, they were already in the reset timeline.
Ji Zhixu's face was full of confusion. The subtle feeling of dizziness was as if she had just finished riding a roller coaster. She felt that everything in front of her seemed to be the same, but also seemed to be different.
She looked up at the shaking crystal chandelier, and the rotating field of vision became solid again.
The memory before the time reversal began to gradually return to her brain along with the shaking crystal chandelier. Miss Ji widened her eyes — time reversal?!
She suddenly turned her head and met Ji Bonong's gaze.
The father and daughter looked at each other and tacitly felt a chill on their scalps.
Time … Isn't that the rule mastered by the God-level who was caught and almost eaten by Boss Lin?
Otherwise, if Boss Lin wanted to kill that God-level expert directly, he would never have let him go.
Judging from the fact that the intruder was a disciple of the Yue Sefu, Ge Leige, as well as the former's reaction, this chess piece was influencing the decisive battle between the Corpse Food Cult and the Mystic Cult thousands of miles away!
What kind of boldness and power was this? Using the deities as chess pieces, playing a game of chess with the whole of Nuo Jin as the chessboard.
Ji Zhixu's breathing quickened. Her hands and feet were numb, and she found it difficult to calm down.
The earthquake waves calmed down after about ten seconds, and the outside returned to darkness.
Lin Jie almost wanted to find a chair and hide in it. Fortunately, the earthquake stopped quickly enough to save his face. After supporting himself on the table, his first reaction was to check if the table clock that he had been holding was still intact.
"Phew …"
Lin Jie looked at the clock wheel that was slowly turning again in his hand, as well as the cute little squirming bug. He heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not broken. This thing is probably enough to buy a few of me …
"What? So it's an earthquake."
Lin Jie left the table very naturally and patted the dust off his body casually. His expression was calm and at ease, as if he wasn't the one who almost hid in the table just now. He sighed and said, "I thought it was something serious. As the saying goes, a big earthquake can't run away, but a small one doesn't have to run away. You guys are still inexperienced in life."
"Sigh." He sighed and turned his head to look at Ge Leige who had fallen to the ground. He stretched out his hand and smiled. "Are you okay? Why are you so impatient? Young people are still too childish. If you want to find me, then come find me. Why are you in such a hurry? I won't run away. "
"I'm fine, I'm fine …"
Ge Leige saw the smile and subconsciously trembled. He shook his head desperately and quickly stood up.
"It's good that you're fine." Lin Jie shook his head. "By the way, what did you want to say just now?"
Ge Leige opened his mouth. The housekeeper saw him and immediately became alert. He blocked in front of Ji Bonong and said in horror, "It's him. Stop him, don't let him come over. He just threatened me with a knife and knocked me out. Master, he might not be the real Ge Leige, but an assassin!"
The servants who had fallen to the ground heard this and immediately ran over to subdue Ge Leige. The scene became chaotic again.
Ge Leige still hadn't recovered and didn't know what to do. Although Lin Jie didn't know what Ge Leige had done just now, he knew that this was probably a misunderstanding. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he explained, "Mr. Housekeeper, you might have misunderstood. He came to find me. Moreover, he's just a child. How could he knock you out?"
The housekeeper was quite frightened before, but he was still very clear about the person who had almost put a knife to his neck. He said firmly, "No! I'm very clear! It's him! Mr. Lin, don't be fooled by him! "
Lin Jie spread his hands and had no choice but to look at the real owner of this side hall for help.
Ji Bonong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's enough. These two are our esteemed guests. This is definitely just a misunderstanding. Abbott, you must be seeing things. You should go to the banquet venue and appease our guests."
Housekeeper Ebert naturally couldn't go against the will of his sect leader. He could only glance at Ge Leige and bow in a stubborn manner. "Yes, Master, but … a wise man doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. I beg you with my loyalty that you don't stay in the same room as the man with the knife."
There were indeed cries of surprise coming from the guests outside. It appeared that the sudden earthquake had given many people a fright.
The banquet was forced to come to a temporary halt.
Ji Zhixu made her way over to Ji Bonong, and said in a quiet voice, "Father … Let's go out as well. We still have to take care of the guests outside."
Ji Bonong looked at the anxious Ge Leige and nodded in understanding. "My apologies, Mr. Lin. Forgive me for not being able to accompany you any longer."
Lin Jie expressed his understanding. "Please go ahead. It would be even better if you could come back and tell me what happened."
Aren't you the one who knows best what happened?
Ji Bonong couldn't help but grumble internally. However, he still maintained a humble smile on his face. "I'll find someone to confirm the exact situation. I'll be sure to inform you as soon as you're done chatting with Ge Leige."
Following the departure of the Ji family's father-daughter duo and the housekeeper, the servants also followed in succession. Only Ge Leige and Lin Jie remained in the room.
Lin Jie heaved a long sigh and sat down again. He then reflexively wiped away the dust on the small clock in his hand.
"Alright, tell me. What made you so flustered? Even the housekeeper was scared to this extent."
Lin Jie felt that as an adult, he couldn't show his fear in front of a child. He cleared his throat and pretended to be very calm as he said in a gentle voice, "No matter what happens, don't panic. Everything can be turned around. Being calm might not work, but being flustered definitely won't work. I've told you before that if you encounter any difficulties or problems, you can tell me.
"As the saying goes, everything will turn out fine in the end, right? I'll definitely help if I can. "
Lin Jie looked at Ge Leige with a serious expression.
The young nobleman completely recovered at this time, but he was even more confused. He looked out of the window and thought of the seemingly changed time and his teacher who was still in an unknown state. He stammered and gesticulated, not knowing what to say. "Yes … But … I, you … Just now … I'm sorry … Why …"
Lin Jie comforted him. "Don't panic. Speak slowly."
Ge Leige took a deep breath. Just as he opened his mouth, a vibrating sound came from his palm. Only then did he realize that his sweaty palm was still tightly holding onto the communication device. He was shocked. He looked down and realized that the caller ID was actually "Tower".
It was the person from the Miyi Tower who specialized in emergency notifications!
Could it be that his teacher's battle had finally ended?!
"Sorry!"
Ge Leige was so excited that he jumped up and bowed to Lin Jie. After the latter nodded, he anxiously walked out of the side hall through a small door on the other side and hurriedly answered the call not far from the door.
"Trainee Knight, Sir Ge Leige."
An unfamiliar voice came from the other side.
It wasn't Chief Winston.
Ge Leige's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The young man said in a low voice, "It's me."
"Your mission has been canceled."
"What? Why?! "
The cold voice seemed to announce some kind of result. Ge Leige felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He said in a trembling voice, "Elder Yue Sefu … How is the Radiant Knight now?"
"Currently, the entire battlefield is covered by a huge amount of aether. Our personnel can't enter or leave. We can't give you an accurate answer."
Ge Leige was stunned. He looked at the window and lifted the curtains to look into the distance. He saw the gap in the sky and his heart sank. He said again, "Then what's the result of their battle?"
"From the final result of the aether monitor, it should be mutual destruction. We'll have to wait for the feedback from the logistics department who's investigating the scene."
Ge Leige didn't speak for a long time, as if he was frozen in place.
Should?
"What … What about Chief Winston?" After a long while, Ge Leige took two deep breaths to adjust his breathing so that he wouldn't completely lose his composure. "He was the one who kept contacting me. Why …"
"He was located in the center of the battlefield and was probably affected. His current whereabouts are unknown." There was no fluctuation in the voice on the other end. "Alright, Trainee Knight, you've asked enough. As a disciple of Yue Sefu, if there's any news from Yue Sefu, we'll inform you immediately. But now, in order to stop Wang Erde's possible conspiracy, please end your mission and take on a new one —"
"Kill Charlotte."
Ge Leige hung up the communication device.
A strong suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.
Impossible … Impossible. Since Boss Lin had intervened, it meant that he must have responded to their request and saved Yue Sefu. It couldn't have been a case of mutual destruction.
But the biggest problem was that in order to stop Wang Erde's uncertain life and death, Yue Sefu had allowed his disciple to continue with an even more dangerous mission when the situation was still unclear.
This was simply … taking advantage of his hatred.
— —
Too terrifying … After receiving the latest information and reviewing everything that had just happened, Ji Zhixu trembled all over. She didn't know whether it was because of excitement or fear. She couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand.
Although she hadn't been there to witness the battle between the gods, she had seen Boss Lin move the needle of the clock-wheel worm with her own eyes.
Judging from Ge Leige's anxious expression when he rushed in, she could tell that Yue Sefu was definitely at a disadvantage in the battle, at least before time was turned back. It was very likely that he would die soon.
But now, the situation had become unknown.
Just like what they had witnessed before, when that god-level manipulated time to turn back, it was simply turning back time. If there was no external interference, everything would just return to its original position.
In other words, if Boss Lin wanted to influence the battle, simply turning back time wouldn't be able to completely change the outcome.
Therefore, Boss Lin had purposely let that god-level extraordinaire go. It was so that at this specific time, he could use the enormous rule power leaked from his death to push the wheel of fate, just like a tiny butterfly causing a storm.
And during this process, the most frightening thing was that Boss Lin had actually calculated the opponent's movements clearly. Not only did he completely eliminate the opponent, but he also conveniently manipulated the fates of Wang Erde and Yue Sefu.
From the very beginning, from the moment he walked out of the bookstore … No, from the moment Ji Zhixu had selfishly decided to invite him to the banquet, or even before that, from the moment Andrew had sent out the clock-wheel worm, or from his acquaintance with Wang Erde and Yue Sefu? In short, all of this was already within Boss Lin's plan!
How terrifying! Just thinking about it was enough to make one fearful of the thoughts of a high-level being. It couldn't be guessed using the thoughts of a mortal.
"Miss Ji?"
The familiar greeting gave Ji Zhixu a fright. She immediately turned around and saw Lin Jie coming out of the side hall with the clock-wheel worm in his hand. He was even greeting her.
"Boss, Boss Lin …" Ji Zhixu had a guilty conscience, as if she had been caught red-handed doing something bad. She nervously put down the hand that was covering her face and tried hard to suppress the curve at the corners of her mouth. "Why have you come out? Do you have any orders for me?"
Her gaze involuntarily shifted to the clock-wheel worm, and her body trembled slightly.
"Nothing … I just suddenly remembered that you forgot to take the gift just now. Seriously, you've already given it away. How could it still be in my hands?"
Lin Jie took Ji Zhixu's hand and stuffed the clock-wheel worm into Ji Zhixu's cold little hand. He smiled and said, "After seeing my demonstration just now, you shouldn't be afraid anymore, right? You see, it really isn't scary at all. It's even quite obedient. "
