"I was just guessing." Xu Yourong gazed at the distant horizon, where the twilight and snowflakes mingled, her beautiful face revealing a faint yearning. "Since people like Teacher and Martial Uncle Su have decided to leave this world, besides a place of legend like the Sacred Light Continent, where else would they go?"
Chen Changsheng was quiet for a while, then asked, "How do I get to the Sacred Light Continent?"
How do I get to the Fortune Peace Road? How do I get to the Bridge of Helplessness? How do I get to the Orthodox Academy? How do I get to the Li Palace? How do I get to that place of legend?
This question was actually rather absurd, but his expression was very serious.
Xu Yourong was also very serious, carefully recalling the conversation between the Divine Empress and her teacher when they were small.
After a very long time, she uncertainly said two words, "Cloud Grave?"
Chen Changsheng fell silent once more, but this silence lasted much longer than before.
The Cloud Grave was the grave of all the clouds in this world, the most remote place of the continent. That place never saw the sun, making it incomparably mysterious and unknown. But he was very familiar with the Cloud Grave. He knew that in those countless clouds, there was an incomparably tall mountain. The mountain pierced through the clouds, leading to some unknown place. Because that mountain was three hundred li behind Xining Village, he had been there before. He knew that in the wetlands of the mountain peak shrouded in clouds and mist hid countless ferocious monsters, countless dangerous cultivators, as well as some bitter survivors of the previous dynasty.
Only today did he know that this mountain peak might have been a path to another world.
"In the future, let's go to the Sacred Light Continent together and take a look?" he very seriously asked Xu Yourong.
Even if the legend was true, that there really was a place called the Sacred Light Continent on the other side of the sea of stars, since no one had ever known of it, it meant that no one had ever succeeded in breaking through the barrier of space and finding that world. He and Xu Yourong were both cultivating geniuses, but they were still very far from the Divine Domain. To them, the Sacred Light Continent was just an illusory name and a guess. Yet he had very seriously sent out his invitation, perhaps several hundred years in advance.
At this moment, he had long ago forgotten that he might not live past twenty.
Xu Yourong smiled. "Okay."
Chen Changsheng thought, really good.
… …
… …
Upon returning to the Orthodox Academy and entering the first floor, he was somewhat surprised to discover that Zhexiu's room was open and that Su Moyu and the others were inside.
"What are you talking about?" He walked in curiously.
Su Mo Yu said, "Since this morning, Tang Tang has been asking people if love at first sight really exists in this world."
Tang Thirty Six looked at Chen Chang Sheng and sneered.
Chen Chang Sheng became nervous and asked, "Why did you suddenly mention this?"
"Who knows what happened to him today," Xuanyuan Po said with some grievance, "I answered him seriously, but he scolded me instead."
Zhexiu stood by the window and suddenly said, "Su Li has left. She should still be at Mount Li, right?"
Chen Chang Sheng was shocked. He thought that he had been found out that he was with Xu You Rong, but in the next moment, he realized that he was actually trying to confirm the answer.
"The information brought by the Southern Ambassadors should be accurate."
When Tang Thirty Six said this, he glanced at Chen Chang Sheng again.
Chen Chang Sheng ignored him and asked Zhexiu with concern, "What do you plan to do?"
In the current Orthodox Academy, from the principal to the director to the head of logistics to the instructors, they were all extremely young. Not a single one was over twenty. They were all young, and what they cared about the most was the bone-deep beauty and sorrow of young people — besides the engagement and battle between Chen Chang Sheng and Xu Yourong, there was also the story of Zhexiu and Qi Jian.
Zhexiu looked at the snow outside the window, a hint of viciousness flashing across his face that still carried a hint of inexperience despite being weathered by wind and snow.
"Once I finish my business in the capital, I'll go to Mount Li to pick her up."
Chen Chang Sheng and the others looked at each other. They had heard very clearly that Zhexiu had not used the word "look," but "pick up."
They seemed to be able to see the countless battles that would take place on Mount Li in the future, those mottled wolf blood.
Zhexiu was seeking death, but the problem was that no one in this world could stop him from seeking death.
Tang Thirty Six did not want Zhexiu to enter a crazed state of mind, so he shot a glance at Su Mo Yu and asked, "What business do you want to take care of in the capital?"
Su Mo Yu understood, thinking, no matter how Zhexiu answers, we have to make this matter a little more difficult. Only in this way can we delay Zhexiu from going to Mount Li to throw away his life.
"I want to kill Zhou Tong." Zhexiu turned around and expressionlessly said to them.
The room was very quiet.
After a moment of silence, Tang Thirty Six said, "Then let's all disperse. In any case, this isn't something that can be settled in eight or ten years."
Not long after the crowd dispersed, he came to Chen Chang Sheng's room. Not minding that he was covered in snow and mud, he bluntly sat down on the bed that was so clean that not even a single strand of hair could be found. He then pointed at Chen Chang Sheng and said with absolute certainty, "There is no such thing as love at first sight in this world."
Chen Chang Sheng glanced at the muddy water dripping from the hem of his clothes, controlled his emotions, and said, "Just what are you trying to say?"
"Oh, I wasn't precise enough. Of course it's possible that you fell in love with Xu You Rong at first sight. Even someone as perfect as Qiushan Jun, someone that even I am somewhat envious of, had such a deep love for her, let alone a little boy like you who has never experienced the matters between a man and a woman."
Tang Thirty Six looked at him and said, "But it's absolutely impossible for her to fall in love with you at first sight, so there's a problem with this matter."
Chen Chang Sheng didn't really care about this problem, but he was rather curious, so he asked, "Why can't she?"
Tang Thirty Six pointed at the dressing table by the wall and said, "Go look in the mirror."
Chen Chang Sheng really did as he was told and walked over. Looking at himself in the mirror, he said, "I'm not ugly."
Tang Thirty Six opened his mouth, but he was completely speechless.
He once again confirmed that Xu You Rong and Chen Chang Sheng really were both people that made people speechless.
Chen Chang Sheng looked at himself in the mirror and began to chuckle.
Tang Thirty Six angrily yelled, "In any case, it's impossible for her to fall in love with you at first sight on the Bridge of Helplessness! Even if it's because of the engagement that she's imagined you many times, it's still impossible, because you're just not ugly. You're far from being good-looking, and you're definitely not as good-looking as me! "
Chen Chang Sheng turned to look at him and asked, "And then?"
Tang Thirty Six stood up and walked in front of him. Staring into his eyes, he said, "I'm worried that she has some sort of plan for you."
No matter who it was, as long as they didn't know the story of the Garden of Zhou, once they discovered that Xu You Rong and Chen Chang Sheng were dating, they would definitely feel that there was a problem.
Chen Chang Sheng understood, so he didn't have any resistance, much less anger. He comforted, "Relax, it's fine."
His words were very natural, but very firm.
Seeing his expression, Tang Thirty Six fell silent for a while, then suddenly said, "You've met before."
Chen Chang Sheng thought about Xu You Rong's orders and shook his head.
Tang Thirty Six sneered, "She wouldn't have fallen in love with you at first sight, but she did. This means that it wasn't the first time you've met."
This reasoning could be said to be full of flaws, but it was also impeccable. Chen Chang Sheng didn't know what to do, so he explained, "When we were young, we exchanged letters, so we can't be considered strangers."
"Lie, keep lying." Tang Thirty Six expressionlessly said to him.
Chen Chang Sheng really had no other choice. He looked at him and earnestly pleaded, "Then you have to keep this a secret. You can't tell anyone."
Tang Thirty Six's expression instantly relaxed. He walked up and put his arm around Chen Chang Sheng's shoulder, not forgetting to close the window. Arching his brows, he said, "Who am I? You still can't relax with me? "
If he really were to tell this story, big and small, again and again, how long would it take, how many words, how many …
After hearing what had happened in the Garden of Zhou, Tang Thirty Six was so shocked that he didn't speak for a very long time.
Finally, he looked at Chen Chang Sheng and let out the same sigh, "Are you a pig?"
Chen Chang Sheng was very ashamed. He didn't have the confidence to refute those words. He thought of another matter and asked, "I don't understand why she doesn't want me to tell anyone else."
Tang Thirty Six was very speechless. "You don't even understand? You really are a pig. "
After being scolded twice, Chen Chang Sheng still felt somewhat uncomfortable. He said, "Didn't she also not recognize me in the Garden of Zhou?"
"That's why it's said that fate is preordained by the heavens. The two of you are called fate made by the heavens."
Tang Thirty Six opened the window and gazed at the starry sky after the snow had stopped and the clouds had dispersed. He was deeply moved.
Chen Chang Sheng was very happy to hear these words. "Thank you for your blessing."
Tang Thirty Six turned around and sternly said, "You and Xu You Rong are like a male pig and a female pig. Of course you're very compatible."
… …
… …
Su Li's two letters were very strange. The moment he took the letters, Chen Chang Sheng was sure of this fact. So he did not open them in front of Xu You Rong. Instead, he waited until the dead of night and then walked alone to the kitchen across the lake. After making all sorts of preparations, he used the Stainless Sword to cut them open.
The Stainless Sword could be said to be the sharpest sword in the world. It very easily cut a thin line out of the yellow envelope.
But his brow creased, because he could clearly sense that when the Stainless Sword's edge had traveled through the envelope, it had encountered countless extremely thin and tenacious strands of Qi. These strands of Qi were like tough iron bars. If the Stainless Sword had not been sharp enough, then with his current level of cultivation, it would have been impossible for him to cut open the envelope.
He took a few deep breaths, calmed his mind, and then took the letter out of the envelope.
It was a thin, ordinary letter, but when he unfolded it and used the dim light of the firewood to read it, countless tiny strands of sword intent gushed out of the letter, transforming into countless snowflakes outside the house, or like willow leaves falling from the Luo River at the end of summer.
Swishswishswishswish! Countless sharp and even somewhat mournful noises resounded around him.
These were all sword intents. The iron pot on the stove was instantly chopped into countless pieces, the ceramic tiles on the stove were chopped into pieces, and soon after, the firewood by the stove was also chopped into pieces. The firewood burning in the stove was also chopped into pieces, sparks flying in all directions. Even the burning embers seemed to be chopped into pieces by those sword intents.
Chen Chang Sheng stood amidst the drifting sword intents, his expression solemn, not daring to move.
