The surface of the ocean emitted a silvery glow, looking like countless eyes.
Who's looking at me? Liu Shisui's face was a bit pale.
The sword light broke out from his body, drawing a rainbow in the darkness of the night in front of the cliff and landing on the surface of the ocean, cutting those silvery eyes into pieces.
Yet, everything returned to normal a moment later.
Liu Shisui took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it. He walked back to his room and started reading the files at the desk. … …
His life in the Cloud Platform was actually not so different from his life in Aoyama.
He spent most of his time practicing the sword work, and he spent the rest of his time copying and organizing the materials related to Bulao Lin.
He read all kinds of files and jade booklets quietly and attentively.
All of a sudden, his eyelashes blinked once.
There were a few transfer orders that didn't seem to be problematic on the surface, and they were ordinary transfers that didn't involve a high level of authority; but he felt something was wrong.
The light of the luminous pearl shone on the paper, making those inky words look even darker, like the darkness of the night.
He lifted his head and looked at the sea of stars outside the window. After a moment of silence, he took out a pen and paper and started writing.
The words on the paper were quite simple, and only he could understand the hidden rules in them. They were all organized and analyzed.
He wasn't the child in the small village anymore. Though he was still innocent at heart, he had learned to conceal himself and view the world in a different way.
The seemingly simple transfer orders and some related information formed a blurry and complicated pattern when combined together.
It took him an hour to figure out that Bulao Lin would do something significant in the near future, but what was it?
It took him a long time to figure out.
For the next day and night, he sat in front of the table, flipping through the files and analyzing them with strange symbols.
He would drink some water when he was thirsty, and he told himself that he would go to the pub to eat something good later when he was hungry.
As the wisps of blood appeared in his eyes, he had finally come to a conclusion.
Though he couldn't ascertain what Xiwang Sun intended to do, he was certain that his target was the Fiend Prison in Zhaoge City.
What did Bulao Lin intend to do? Did they really collude with the Underworld?
Liu Shisui picked up the piece of paper filled with words and crushed it into ashes with his hands. He got up and walked to the window. He rubbed his face with the remaining warmth of his palms and felt a little better.
Outside the window was a new starry night, but it was no different from last night.
He wanted to pace, but he didn't dare.
He didn't know whether Xiwang Sun had sent someone to spy on him or not. More importantly, even though Xiwang Sun had trusted him, he still felt that someone was watching him.
He was a little anxious.
For this matter, he had already sacrificed more than ten years of his youth and endured endless infamy and danger.
What was even more painful was the inner struggle and entanglement that tormented him day and night.
He watched as Bulao Lin killed people and did evil. Even though he knew in advance who Bulao Lin wanted to assassinate, he did not send any information to the outside world.
Last night, he had already made a decision. He would continue to lurk until he found the names that were hidden the most and found the evidence of them colluding with the Underworld.
Yet, this time Bulao Lin's target was the Fiend Prison.
Did he have to wait any longer?
No, the human race couldn't withstand such a risk. Moreover, Bulao Lin had set the Fiend Prison as his target, which was tantamount to colluding with the Underworld. There was no need for other evidence.
Looking at the ocean of stars in the darkness of the night, Liu Shisui remained silent for a long time. "So, this is it," he said in his mind.
He walked to the stone wall and dismantled the formation. He took out those jade booklets and put them on the table.
Based on some details, he had determined that these jade booklets couldn't be taken out of the room, but he had never tried to do so.
He opened those jade booklets and started reading them for the last time.
After the last name entered his mind, he closed the jade booklets and put them back in their original positions, walking toward the outside of the room.
He didn't bring anything with him.
Breaking through the clouds and fog, he landed on the island with the booming sound of ocean waves. Liu Shisui walked into the ruined Sea-God Temple and arrived in Haizhou City through the underground tunnel.
He walked through the bustling market along with the crowd, and then walked into the restaurant.
Xiao He had prepared the meal and was waiting for him.
Liu Shisui thanked her and started eating the meal after taking the chopsticks. He didn't say anything during the meal.
Xiao He looked at him with a faint smile. The expression in her eyes was calm, but her mood was complicated.
She was certain that he didn't bring anything out from the Cloud Platform.
But why did she think he came here to bid farewell to her?
Was he going to leave like this, without even taking a piece of cloud with him?
The food was eaten up quickly. Liu Shisui thanked her sincerely and got up to leave after chatting with her for a while.
Seeing his figure disappear into the crowd, Xiao He felt a sense of loss.
Different from what she had imagined, Liu Shisui didn't leave Haizhou City.
He returned to the ruined Sea-God Temple through the underground tunnel, and then returned to the Cloud Platform through the formation in the darkness of the night, and returned to that quiet room.
Standing by the window, he looked at the starry night, which was no different from the night before. He rubbed his slightly bulging belly, revealing a faint smile on his face, looking relaxed and contented.
It was unclear if it was because of the smell of Xiao He, the taste of the food, or something else.
…
…
Chaonan City was the capital of Nanhezhou, as well as the most populous city in the south of Chaotian. Moreover, it was close to Aoyama, so a great deal of wealth had been accumulated there.
It was impossible for the Precious-Tree House to consume all of the wealth. In fact, the Precious-Tree House had never occupied a very high position in this feast of wealth since the ancient times.
It was a dozen clans that had close connections with the nine peaks of Aoyama, and one of them had the family name of Gu.
The Gu Clan owned too many properties, so many that the clansmen sometimes couldn't even tell which shops belonged to the Gu Clan.
For instance, there was a trading company in the west of the city that specialized in selling marine products.
One early morning, the trading company delivered a cart of marine fish to the old house of the Gu Clan, and a large fish was delivered to the small kitchen.
Strangely enough, this fish wasn't steamed, braised, or cooked; it was delivered to the dining table of the Grandmaster of the Gu Clan as it was.
The Grandmaster of the Gu Clan took a small silver knife from the hands of the current clan master, cut open the belly of the fish, and took out a pearl the size of a fist.
Sensing the faint spiritual energy in the pearl, the clan master said in surprise, "Even if this Source Pearl is not bad, why is it necessary to be so cautious?"
The eyes of the Grandmaster of the Gu Clan were a bit cloudy. He glanced at the clan master and said, "The way the immortal masters handle things is not something you and I can comment on. Seal it up and send it to the mountain. "
…
…
Three days later, a case from Chaonan City was delivered to Liangwang Peak.
Seeing the inscription on the case, Gu Han's expression changed abruptly, and he informed Guo Nanshan as quickly as possible.
The disciples of Liangwang Peak arrived quickly and activated the forbidding formation to seal the cave entrance.
All gazes were fixed on the case.
"This is the inscription of our clan. It was delivered from the west."
Gu Han looked at Guo Nanshan and said, "You know what I mean."
Looking at the case, Guo Nanshan asked, "But what does he mean?"
"The pearl is inside," said Gu Han.
