After the flood incident, Xu Shenxing and the others returned to the Temple of the Earth.
Although the Lishui Dragon King said that it was fine even if they stayed in the Dragon Palace, Xu Shenxing reluctantly refused in consideration of the purpose of their trip.
Of course, whether it was the warm and hospitable Dragon King or the kelp soup that he was reluctant to part with was unknown.
After bidding farewell to Zhuo Xiangzhu on the official road from Jiang Jin to Shangjing, Xu Shenxing returned to his idle state.
"I say, is this really okay?"
Xiao Zhengyi paced back and forth in the living room of the Temple of the Earth. When Xu Shenxing was about to get dizzy, he asked with an uneasy expression, "If we don't go to Shangjing with the former Earth God, if something happens over there, we won't be able to do anything from here …"
"If you're so worried, you can go to Shangjing yourself. As for the travel expenses, you can just ask Breast Implants for reimbursement. I think he'll be very happy."
Xu Shenxing was focused on the work at hand and answered absent-mindedly.
"Then what if I accidentally mess things up?" Xiao Zhengyi seemed to be a little tempted — after all, not everyone had the opportunity to see the ancient capital of the Celestial Empire — but immediately asked anxiously.
"Kill yourself to atone for your sins."
"Hey, the punishment is so heavy!"
Xiao Zhengyi immediately gave up and sat down on the armchair. He looked at the things in Xu Shenxing's hands and asked curiously, "By the way, what have you been doing since just now?"
"Didn't Mo Li ask for a gem from Breast Implants before? This girl didn't have a place to put it, so I simply asked Breast Implants for some silver. I'm preparing to make a necklace purely by hand. " Xu Shenxing took the time to give Xiao Zhengyi a thumbs up, "I'm a friend who's good at handwork."
"Is there something wrong with my view of the world? Why do I feel like there's a difference between handmade crafting and your actions, which are like playing with clay … "Xiao Zhengyi complained with an embarrassed expression.
"That's true." Xu Shenxing threw the half-finished product on the table with a pained expression. "Damn, it's too difficult to make every link of the chain exactly the same …"
"So, the level of your behavior is no different from hand-knitting instant noodles …" Xiao Zhengyi picked up the half-finished product and found that the half-finished silver necklace was actually not much different from the modern mass-produced ones. He couldn't help but be amazed and feel that Xu Shenxing was really too boring.
Of course, Mo Li, who was eating watermelon while watching Xu Shenxing cook, was even more bored.
"Eh? Aren't instant noodles handmade? "Xu Shenxing was shocked.
"…"
"Cough, I saw that the atmosphere was too boring, so I was just joking. Don't look at me with that 'this alien really exposed a flaw' expression."
Xu Shenxing coughed and explained awkwardly.
"…"
"And don't look at me with pity!"
While the two big men were idly performing crosstalk in the living room, a small bell in the corner of the living room suddenly rang.
Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi couldn't help but look at each other.
After living here for so many days, they naturally knew that this thing was the secret signal used by the former Earth God to meet her lover.
But the problem was, whether it was the former Earth God girl or her lover, shouldn't they both be in Shangjing at this time?
Without waiting for them to take any action, the Earth God Loli, who had been depressed since Zhuo Xiangzhu left, stumbled out of the inner room with an excited expression on her face. "It must be the eldest miss! I knew that the eldest miss wouldn't really leave me alone! "
Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi looked at each other.
"What do you think?" Xiao Zhengyi asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid that the person who came is not the former Earth God." Xu Shenxing frowned and guessed.
The former Earth God should be the type who was very opinionated and stood by her words. Since she decided to go to Shangjing alone, it was impossible for her to give up halfway and suddenly run back.
No matter what, since the 'plot' had happened, Xu Shenxing and Xiao Zhengyi naturally couldn't turn a blind eye to it. Thus, the two of them, along with Mo Li, followed her out.
The crack in the sky was still there, which made the sky look a bit magical.
Although this scene attracted the attention of the world at first, human's ability to adapt was very strong. After the crack had been hanging in the sky for a long time without anything happening, most people's curiosity had passed and they began to get used to it. Their attention naturally shifted to other places — for example, occasionally seeing a lunar eclipse would be very impressive, but if a lunar eclipse happened every day 365 days in a year, people would treat it as a normal phenomenon and wouldn't pay attention to it …
"Why is it you!"
From afar, Xu Shenxing could hear the desperate cries of the Earth God Loli coming from the Earth God Temple.
After they entered the Earth God Temple, the situation inside was as expected. The person who rang the bell was the scholar.
"Greetings, Miss Yunyi. Is Miss Xiangzhu here?"
The scholar didn't feel uncomfortable with the Earth God Loli's disgust and only smiled faintly as he asked her.
"Miss Yunyi isn't at home and won't appear for a long time. You should give up!"
The Earth God Loli ruthlessly refused without hesitation.
The scholar seemed to have gotten used to the other party's harsh words and only revealed a bitter smile. "Don't make trouble. This time, I came to find Miss Xiangzhu for a proper matter."
"What matter? Just tell her directly! "
The Earth God Loli still didn't give him any face.
The scholar seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, someone who was dressed as an aide ran in and said in the scholar's ear, "Sir, the prefectural magistrate and the rest have all arrived. If you don't go, I'm afraid it will be rude. Once you become enemies with these local officials, the mission that the Emperor gave us will be somewhat troublesome …"
At this moment, Xu Shenxing realized that the scholar was wearing an official's robe. Furthermore, although Xu Shenxing wasn't sure how official's robe was categorized, he felt that the scholar's rank wasn't low.
It seemed that this fellow had some tricks up his sleeve. Not long after arriving in Tianjing, he became a high-ranking official and returned home in glory … In that case, could it be that he had coincidentally missed the previous Earth God Loli?
Perhaps he felt that he wouldn't be able to see Zhuo Xiangzhu if he continued to stay here today. Thus, the scholar cupped his fists towards Xu Shenxing with some regret. "If there's a chance, please tell Xiangzhu that I've returned. Thank you very much."
After saying that, he planned to leave.
"Wait a moment!" At this moment, the Earth God Loli suddenly called out to him. "Why did you return to Jiang Jin this time?"
From the girl's conflicted expression, Xu Shenxing could feel that the girl's heart was in a dilemma. If this scholar said that he had specially returned to pick up Zhuo Xiangzhu, the Earth God Loli would probably tell him about Zhuo Xiangzhu's whereabouts.
"Sir, you've received an imperial edict to return to do a great deed that will benefit the country and the people!" Before the scholar could speak, the aide beside him replied somewhat arrogantly.
"Actually, it's not a big deal." The scholar only smiled before continuing to explain. "I just want to dig up the Li River and change its course."
