The night was getting late, and the snow was falling again. It was silently accumulating outside the window, like some kind of emotion.
Hua Xi had fallen asleep, and so had Jing Jiu, who was lying on the soft chair. Xue Gie was tightly held in his arms, as if this could make his frowning eyebrows relax a little.
Xue Gie's small round hand left his eyebrows, confirming that his headache was temporarily suppressed. She couldn't help but look at his wrist again.
The next moment, her small round hand held the green rope and tried to pull it.
Even a small planet should have been directly torn into pieces by her, but that green rope … Oh, she still couldn't pull it.
A touch of annoyance flashed through Xue Gie's black eyes. She snorted, raised her small round hand to pull her hair, and leaned into Jing Jiu's arms.
Her soft hair was naturally scattered on her shoulders, and no one knew where the hair clip was.
In the most high-end residential area of Fogshan City, a very strange scene appeared at this time.
A high-class looking black piano was walking on the road.
The sky was full of snowflakes, and no one could be seen around the piano. There was also no hanging rope. It seemed to be moving by itself, like a ship in a movie.
No one could see that there was a snow-white beetle under the piano.
It used two armored limbs to lift the heavy piano above its head, and its star-like eyes were full of determination and fearlessness.
In the early morning, the house in 720 woke up with the morning light. Hua Xi rubbed her shoulders and walked out. She took a hot shower and began to make breakfast.
Breakfast was still as simple as before. It was a big pot of porridge and the leftover pastries from yesterday.
Jing Jiu ate the porridge in a very short time, and turned the bowl into a bright and clean existence like a sword. Then he noticed that there was an extra piano by the window.
The black piano was really big, occupying one-third of the area of the living room.
The morning light shone on it, and the light snow made it look very beautiful.
He looked at it a little confusedly, and then he roughly understood what was going on.
He walked to the window, put his right hand on the piano key, and pressed it down a little clumsily.
Accompanied by the clear and moving sound of the piano, the corners of his mouth slightly tilted up, showing a happy smile.
…
…
If the space channel of the Scorpion Tail Nebula was opened, it would take more than forty days for the fastest light spaceship to pass through the channel to reach the main planet.
At this time, the sound of a guqin could also be heard from the main planet. It was very high up in the sky, passing through the protective shield and going far away. It was unknown how many people would hear it.
This was an atmospheric base platform, built about 20,000 meters above the ground, and maintained synchronized operations with the ground.
The light of the main star was too strong, and the temperature was too high. Humans needed the protection of a protective shield to live a suitable life. The height and temperature of this base were perfect. Of course, in order to make the environment of this base platform so perfect, similar to the best spring, there were still many technical means to ensure.
Not to mention that this pedestal had been transformed into a mountain peak. No matter how one looked at it, it was very extravagant and uneconomical.
The surface of the pedestal had been transformed into a peak that occupied an area of about three square miles. Outside the cliff was the sky, and occasionally, clouds would drift across the foot.
The peak was lush with trees and jagged rocks. There was a pavilion at the highest point of the peak, and the sound of the zither originated from there.
Standing in the pavilion, one could see the setting sun in the distance and countless stars when one turned around. The glistening space stations would fly past from time to time, and they were very close to each other.
Such a scene could not be seen on the ground, and it was quite different from those on the battleship.
Only the important figures in the Federation of the Milky Way were qualified to enjoy such a beautiful scene.
Standing by the cliff's edge, Zhao Layue remained silent while looking at the setting sun in the distance.
There was a large tree by the cliff's edge. To put it more precisely, this was the only tree on the peak in the sky. A white cat was crouching on the branch in front of it, lost in thought.
This place was similar to the stone platform on the Cloud-Dream Mountain, which was the one outside the manor cave of Bai Zao. There was also a large tree by the stone platform, and a boundless sea of clouds was below the platform.
Over the past hundreds of years, Bai Zao had been living overseas on the Penglai Island, unwilling to return to the Cloud-Dream Mountain. As such, Tong Yan often stood under the tree and looked at the distance in a daze.
It was Tong Yan who told Zhao Layue all this. She also knew that the Immortal Tan and Bai Yuan would have a meal with her daughter on that stone platform every New Year's Day many years ago. Now that Bai Yuan was dead, where was the Immortal Tan? It was unclear if he missed her daughter, but he probably didn't miss his wife.
She pulled back her gaze and walked back to the pavilion, indicating that she didn't need to play the zither anymore.
Jiang Yuxia got up and bowed to Zong Lizi. She picked up the zither and put it on a distant rock. Then, she started serving the dishes together with Zong Lizi and Ran Handong. It didn't take long before the stone tables in the pavilion were filled with the famous delicacies from various planets. It was needless to say that any dish could be exchanged for three meals for ten thousand years for Jing Jiu and the others.
Sitting by the table, Zhao Layue took the wet towel and wiped her hands. Then, she took the chopsticks and started eating the dishes.
Jiang Yuxia served her by the side. Zong Lizi came to the foot of the tree and called Ada. Ran Handong stared at Zhao Layue's face intently. She looked like the three maidservants, except that they had different duties and dispositions.
Zhao Layue had been the master of the Shenmo Peak and the great sect master of the Aoyama Sect for hundreds of years, so she was quite used to such an environment and atmosphere. Yet, she thought it unnecessary to sit down and eat with them.
It had been some time since she came to the Main Planet. Zong Lizi took her to visit many places of interest. Ran Handong became her secretary. Jiang Yuxia finished her study at the College of Priests and came to Zhao Layue's side. Ran Donglou, the head of the Ran family, had resigned from his position as the chief executive of the Main Planet and the military a few days ago. He was a true swordsman in the Federation of the Milky Way and an important figure in the Heavenly Arrival State in Chaotian. In addition, he had accumulated a great deal of political influence over the years. As such, he was qualified to participate in the banquet for the ascendants.
This event had shocked the whole of the Federation of the Milky Way, and there were many political struggles and struggles behind it. The real issue was the arrival of Zhao Layue.
The secret of the cocoon breakers had gradually spread out. Ran Donglou had met Zhao Layue once before he resigned. It was unclear what Zhao Layue had said to him that made him change his mind and stand behind Zhao Layue. As such, he had no choice but to quit the political arena.
There were many important figures like Ran Donglou. Even Chen Ya was bewildered by the situation.
The young priest didn't respond, nor did the grandmaster of the Aoyama Sect. Zhao Layue hadn't done anything since she came to the Main Planet. How should this world treat her?
Regardless of what those ascendants thought, the Ran family had no choice but to treat her like their ancestor since they had made the decision.
For instance, this cliff platform in the high sky was actually the praying hall of the Ran family, but it had become her temporary residence.
After Ran Donglou learned of these secrets, he had studied the book called "The Path Toward Heaven" a few times and made the decision in the end.
In his eyes, this was the only place that was similar to the fairy sects in Chaotian.
The space laboratory of the Science Academy of the Federation of Milky Way flew past the distant horizon, leaving behind a trail of flames along with the light of the setting sun.
A moment later, another space station flew past not far away. As for the satellites that looked like fire spots, they had never disappeared from the scene.
Ran Handong was worried that Zhao Layue wouldn't like such a scene, so she asked, "Should we ask the military to adjust the orbit of the satellites?"
Zong Lizi walked back to the pavilion while holding Ada in her arms, waiting for Zhao Layue's decision.
Those satellites must be equipped with laser weapons and a high-precision monitoring device. If the military intended to harm Zhao Layue, it would be troublesome.
"Let's eat," said Zhao Layue.
She didn't care about all this. It was not because she was as self-confident as Jing Jiu, but because she knew what her grandmaster was thinking.
Ran Handong suddenly said, "You're different from him."
The person she referred to was Jing Jiu, her former client.
"I have many similarities with him, but there are also differences between us."
Zhao Layue put down the chopsticks and drank a cup of wine. "Back when he took me to travel around Chaotian, I quarreled with him many times … Of course, I was the one who did the talking, and he didn't like to talk much. In essence, we were different people. He wasn't afraid of killing people, but he didn't like killing people, because he thought it would cause too much karma. I told him that he thought too much and did too little because he was afraid of death … It turned out that he was indeed afraid of death. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of death, so I'm not afraid of killing people. "
Ran Handong's eyes were exceedingly bright. It was unclear whether it was the setting sun in the distance or the fire in her eyes. "He's really outstanding. I thought he was not as good as you," she said admiringly.
Zhao Layue didn't agree with what she said, saying, "No, it's a matter of the situation and position. He has a higher position than me."
Jiang Yuxia didn't understand what she meant. "What do you mean by the situation?" she asked Zong Lizi gingerly after filling her cup with wine.
"The reason I'm not afraid of death is because I know I'll most likely die. Even if I can ascend, I won't be able to live forever; but he is different," said Zhao Layue.
Zong Lizi suddenly asked an unexpected question, "Do you … like him?"
Ada in her bosom lifted his head abruptly and stared at her with wide eyes, wondering if this little girl was afraid of death.
Anyone who had read the book "The Path Toward Heaven" and played this game would be curious about Jing Jiu's love life. The majority of the comments on the forums were from the readers arguing about who was his official partner.
Most of the readers were on Lian Sanyue's side; it was because Jing Jiu had risked his life for her, and the relationship between Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu was a bit strange. It was hard to describe them as Cultivation partners, friends, master and disciple, or father and daughter.
Even if the relationship between Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue was different, what did Jing Jiu think of Zhao Layue? What did Zhao Layue think of Jing Jiu?
She was the first reader and writer of the book "The Path Toward Heaven", so she was eager to find out the answer.
Zhao Layue didn't get upset, saying, "They like each other, but they are more like comrades in arms."
That young priest described the relationship between her and the Grandmaster of Aoyama in the same way in the castle of the Hua clan the other day, and she also regarded the relationship between Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue in the same way.
Ran Handong said, "There was a state in ancient times where the strongest and bravest army was made up entirely of lovers."
Those lovers were of the same sex, so they were not only men and women, but also comrades in arms. As such, they were invincible when they were together. It was a bit strange to describe the relationship between Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue in this way, but it was quite appropriate if one thought about it.
…
…
Many readers had been asking about the relationship between Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue. In fact, it was hard to describe the intimate relationship between the Cultivation practitioners. I suddenly thought of the Biss Sacred Army one day, and then I thought of the role played by an older man in Plato's role as a guide. I found it was a good way to describe the relationship. Of course, it was not a complete description, and was merely a metaphor.
