Zong Lizi was a smart girl. She knew that the story about the Path toward Heaven was true, so she had figured out many things, such as why her Teacher thought Jing Jiu was the new god, why so many important figures had come to the mansion of the priest clan lately, why the capital city had been cordoned off that day, and why so many things had happened.
The praying hall and those ascendants were competing for Jing Jiu. Jing Jiu had already made his choice.
He and those ascendants came from the same place; in other words, they were from the same hometown.
Jing Jiu had told her about being a guest in a strange place and the anchor point.
She understood his decision, but she was still worried. "Don't trust those people," she said.
"I won't trust anybody," said Jing Jiu.
Zong Lizi didn't feel disappointed by what he said. She asked nervously, "Can I go with you?"
"No, you can't. Put away the paper crane I gave you. Tear it up or burn it when you are in danger. "
Having said that, Jing Jiu came to the deck.
Zong Lizi knew that she couldn't change his decision, so she pouted her mouth indignantly.
In the next moment, she came to his side with a cup of tea in her hand and handed it to him.
Jing Jiu took the teacup and took a sip, looking at the tree in the courtyard.
Following his line of sight, Zong Lizi saw Jiang Yuxia and Hua Xi sitting under the tree.
Jiang Yuxia was in a bad mood, saying something in a low voice.
Hua Xi's eyes were wide open, showing an innocent expression. It seemed that she didn't understand what Jiang Yuxia had said.
The lawn outside the courtyard was like a carpet, and the green trees formed a forest.
All of a sudden, a gust of wind arose from the deep part of the garden, ruffling the treetops. It was thought that a floating train had arrived from the underground.
In the next moment, a few floating cars and even two spaceships arrived at the manor.
Ran Handong walked down from one of the spaceships and stood on the lawn, welcoming the important figures who had come from all over the place.
The main preachers of the praying hall, the high-ranking officials of the government, the councilors of the Management Committee, the heads of various clans, and even Ran Donglou had come in person.
"Take Major Ran with you. She can help you, and you need someone to take care of your life," said Zong Lizi.
Jing Jiu didn't heed those important figures who had come to the manor. "I'll take Hua Xi with me," he said while looking at the two girls under the tree.
Zong Lizi was startled, wondering why it was Hua Xi.
If Ran Handong's identity was inconvenient, Jiang Yuxia was also a good choice.
Hua Xi was a cute and ignorant child. Even if she was a distant relative of the Hua family, how could she help you?
…
…
"What's going on? Who did he meet today? "
"General Li? This is impossible! "
"That person met him a few days ago. Don't tell me he doesn't even have this much patience?"
"This is betrayal!"
It was because Ran Handong told them what had happened that day that those important figures came to the mansion of the female priest.
They wanted to know the truth of the matter, and they also wanted to change the direction of this story.
Jing Jiu didn't see them, not even Ran Donglou.
However, no one dared to barge upstairs. Even the voices of questioning and reprimanding were very soft. That day in the building of the Military Headquarters, even Shen Yunmai was almost incapacitated. Therefore, nobody dared to do anything to Jing Jiu, not even to sound him out.
Faced with an emotionless alloy wall, their fists had no choice but to pull back since they didn't dare touch it.
The discussions in the grand hall grew quieter and quieter until it became absolutely quiet. The atmosphere was rather depressing.
Dozens of gazes fell on Ran Donglou, hoping that this old man would say something.
Ran Donglou didn't say anything, sitting in the chair expressionlessly.
"In fact, we can't blame him. The female priest didn't say anything to him after meeting him that day, and she didn't express her attitude. What could he do?"
Hua Xi said this to Jiang Yuxia in a low voice after taking a look at the scene downstairs.
Jiang Yuxia let out a bitter smile, saying nothing.
It was then that the door of the room was pushed open. Zong Lizi motioned for them to come in.
What was happening in the room was not the farewell ceremony, but the preparation for the departure, like packing the luggage.
Jing Jiu didn't have much luggage, so it was easy for him to pack.
He liked the tea boiled in the iron kettle, but it was impossible for him to bring the kettle with him. All he needed were a few pieces of clothing.
It didn't take long for Ran Handong to fold the blue hoodies neatly and put them into the black backpack.
At this time, she was still playing the role of a secretary perfectly.
She asked after some hesitation, "Do you need me to go with you?"
Jing Jiu shot a glance at Hua Xi who had just walked into the room and said, "I'll take her with me."
Ran Handong felt surprised. Jiang Yuxia was quite surprised, wondering why he wanted to take her with him.
Hua Xi was even more surprised. "Me?" she asked innocently while pointing at her own nose.
Jing Jiu didn't explain the reason.
Hua Xi looked at Zong Lizi with a pitiful expression.
She was Zong Lizi's personal attendant.
Zong Lizi said apologetically, "He said he would ensure your safety."
Hua Xi said nervously, "Can I not? I … I … I have to ask my family for their opinion. "
"I'll ask them," said Jing Jiu.
What he said had a hidden meaning, but Zong Lizi, Jiang Yuxia and Ran Handong didn't figure it out.
Hua Xi glanced at him angrily. It was unclear if it was because she was angry, but she wasn't as scared as before.
She took the black backpack with a grunt and put it on her back. She turned around and walked out of the room after tying the two shoulder straps together.
… …
… …
When Jing Jiu arrived on the Scorching-Sun Battleship on the Scorching-Sun Battleship, he attracted the attention of the whole world.
The whole of the Federation of the Milky Way and the humans on hundreds of planets were amazed by his handsome appearance and guessed his origin.
Yet, he kept a low profile when he left the Main Planet that day.
It was not broadcasted live on TV, and no populace knew about it.
Jing Jiu and Zong Lizi walked to the other end of the lawn, and Hua Xi followed behind them with the backpack on her back.
Only a few dozen people witnessed the scene, and they were all important figures in the Federation of the Milky Way.
When they parted in the icy land of the South Pole, General Li said that he would send someone to pick him up.
As the leader of the humans, he didn't lie, and he was very punctual.
A dozen floating cars with the military insignia were parked on the other side of the lawn noiselessly. Dozens of soldiers of the special forces in full armor and mechanical armor were waiting for him.
There were many trees in the middle of the lawn, some of which formed a forest and some of which stood alone.
Jing Jiu and Zong Lizi stopped short. They happened to be under a tree.
It seemed that the young girl Hua Xi had a bad temper. She didn't heed them and walked into the floating car. She took off the backpack and tossed it carelessly at the end of the seat.
The shade of the tree shone on Jing Jiu and Zong Lizi, and the breeze blew over, making them feel very cool.
It was a pity that it was not raining at the moment; otherwise, it would be more similar to the University of Stargate.
All the gazes, including the important figures of the government and the soldiers who came to pick up Jing Jiu, were fixed on this young man and woman.
The first female priest of a commoner and the handsome youth who had a mysterious background but was also highly regarded by that person and General Li at the same time were a perfect match for each other.
If there were a story in this world, the male and female protagonists of the story should be like this.
"In fact … I like the novel you wrote very much."
Zong Lizi lifted her head and stared into Jing Jiu's eyes, saying earnestly, "I like Lian Sanyue, Zhao Layue, and the Immortal Jingyang."
"I know."
Jing Jiu reached out his hand and rubbed her head.
…
…
A dozen floating cars left the lawn and headed toward the outside of the manor house noiselessly, soon disappearing without a trace. It seemed that they were heading toward Capital City. The important figures had a complicated emotion, but they somehow felt more relaxed.
The situation was still the same as before, but there was at least one benefit: peace.
Many of them even thought that Jing Jiu had accepted General Li's invitation because of this word.
The Main Preacher Tai Yang, the preachers from the Stargate Base, and the Councilor Sha Yu maintained their bowing posture.
Their way of thinking was different from those people. They still believed in Jing Jiu, thinking that this was a test from god.
The path of life was long, like the passage between the stars and the ocean. Who could predict what would happen in the future?
…
…
A dozen floating cars entered Capital City at a low altitude. The streets had been cleared out a long time ago, and the soldiers responsible for guarding the streets could be seen everywhere.
The closer they got to the center of Capital City, the tighter the security became, and the more solemn the atmosphere became.
The battleships outside the atmosphere could be seen clearly, and the platforms of the laser cannons could even be seen.
Hundreds of combat mechas were hovering in the sky in Silence, their weapons aimed at the building of the military headquarters.
The internal structure of the building of the military headquarters had been repaired, but the traces of that day's battle could still be seen on the outer wall.
The atmosphere in Capital City didn't become a bit more relaxed until the dozen floating cars entered the underground parking lot of the building one after another.
The elevator arrived at the top floor of the building from the underground parking lot.
Ding!!! The door of the elevator was opened.
The middle-aged female officer by the surname of Chen was waiting outside. "General Li is waiting for you," she said softly.
She was even more polite than that day.
Jing Jiu motioned for Hua Xi to wait for him outside, and walked toward the office at the end of the metal corridor.
Hua Xi felt restless, looking around curiously.
It was unclear whether it was because the metal surface of the chair was too smooth and cold, or because she was nervous.
There were books everywhere in the office, like the library of scripts on Shiyue Peak.
General Li was reading a book while standing in front of a bookshelf.
Hearing Jing Jiu's footsteps, he asked without raising his head, "The kid of the Hua family?"
Jing Jiu uttered "hmm".
General Li said, "It's an interesting choice."
