Chapter 20 Sister, are you sure this is a surprise?
When Tang Yuan woke up from his coma, he found himself tied up and thrown on the balcony.
He vaguely heard a slight sound behind him and turned his head to look.
A young man was leaning on the sofa leisurely reading a book, with a gentle face and a relaxed look.
"You... who are you?" Tang Yuan asked in a very deep voice.
"You're awake."
Yu Ze asked with a smile: "Who gave you the Soul Locking Mirror? The Holy See Church should not give such an important thing to a rookie who has been a monk for less than a few months."
The Holy See Church does not only exist in this world, there is also a force called the 'Holy See Church' in heaven.
But most people are not sure whether the two are the same force.
Tang Yuan sneered: "Do you really think I will tell you... I found it by accident on a battlefield in the Shangcangxi Continent."
Looking at the young man who stood up and silently picked up the stick just after finishing the first half of the sentence, Tang Yuan immediately added another sentence.
A man of insight is a wise man. If he refused to answer, the unconscious priest next to him would probably have suffered the same fate.
Yu Ze put down his stick and asked directly, "If I remember correctly, even if our people traveled to the heavens, they should appear in the East Continent, right? Why did you go to the West Continent?"
Holy objects like the Soul-Locking Mirror are actually rare even in the Holy See Church. To be able to pick up such a holy object on a battlefield... this person's luck is really too good.
"A month ago, when I traveled to the East Continent, I accidentally stepped on a teleportation formation and was eventually sent to a battlefield in the West Continent... That battlefield was completely desolate, with piles of dead bones buried under the loess..."
Tang Yuan recalled what happened after he traveled to the heavens and began to tell about his experiences.
After he traveled to the heavens, he first accidentally came to the Western Continent through a teleportation array, and then accidentally picked up the Soul-Locking Mirror of the Holy See Church in a battlefield full of corpses.
Not long after that, members of the Holy See Church who were purifying the souls of corpses happened to pass by.
When they saw the soul-locking mirror in Tang Yuan's hand, they brought him back to the church.
Since then, Tang Yuan has become a member of the Holy See Church.
“I see… I was wondering why the Holy See Church would even accept rookies as its members. It seems like they took you in because of your connection with the Soul-Locking Mirror?” Yu Ze had a thoughtful look on his face.
Tang Yuan hesitated for a moment, wondering why this guy seemed to know so much about the Holy See Church.
"What do you mean when you say that I have a connection with the Soul-Locking Mirror?" He finally couldn't help but ask.
"The holy object has a spirit. If you are not destined to have it, your soul will be devoured by it the moment you touch it." Yu Ze said lightly.
Tang Yuan's expression changed slightly.
No wonder no one in the Holy See Church has ever taken the holy object from him. It turns out that the Holy See Church is sacred and does not do evil.
But perhaps because there were not many people in his Holy See Church who could control the Soul-Locking Mirror, he was allowed to hold it.
The same goes for that hypocritical priest Newman... He never took the holy object away because he was afraid that his soul would be sucked away by the Soul-Locking Mirror.
After sorting out this matter, Tang Yuan was silent for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "Who are you?"
Yu Ze thought for a moment, then silently picked up the iron rod.
"I feel like you talk too much, why don't you take a nap."
Tang Yuan's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously said, "Wait—"
Before he could finish his words, a stick hit him and the vision fell into darkness.
……
This Sect Leader Ji is much easier to get along with than I thought.
It was late at night and Lu Ya was sitting on the balcony of a high-rise building, looking at the brightly lit city night view outside through the glass curtain wall. In her heart, she was sighing about the feelings she had after talking with Ji Ningshuang today.
As the leader of Guiyi Sect who has already entered the second-grade saint realm, Ji Ningshuang's strength and even background are undoubtedly top-notch.
It was rumored that this person had a cold and unkind personality, but after a day, Lu Ya discovered that Ji Ningshuang seemed different from the description in the rumors.
However, judging from the words of the maid beside Ji Ningshuang today, the reason why her attitude was so good was because of the gentian flowers at today's welcome ceremony.
In today's heaven, the abundant spiritual energy makes it difficult for many ordinary people who are not cultivators to survive. Many plants cannot be cultivated because the revived spiritual energy is too rich, and gentian is no exception.
For ordinary people, breathing air is a must, but the rich spiritual energy in the sky now makes it difficult for many ordinary people who are not cultivators to breathe, because they cannot withstand such surging and rich spiritual energy.
In short, the revival of spiritual energy is a good thing for monks, but for ordinary people, the revival of spiritual energy is compressing their living environment.
Unless ordinary people can open their genetic lock and officially embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
When Lu Yan thought of this, her eyes quickly fell on a name on the phone screen.
'Yu Ze'.
"Is it a coincidence, or...he has met Ji Ningshuang before, so he knows that she prefers Platycodon flowers?"
Lu Ya was whispering to herself when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She walked to the balcony and answered the phone: "Hello? Can't you let me rest at this late hour? Let me make it clear first, I don't plan to work overtime today——"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a woman's gentle voice on the other end of the phone:
"Emergency. The murderer who killed and looted the manuscript fragments has been found."
Lu Ya was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "How did you catch him? Didn't the case handling team say that the guy was as cunning as a loach and that it might be impossible to catch him in a short time?"
"I don't know who threw it in front of our building. A person from the Northern Alliance was also thrown in with it. I checked his information. He is Spencer Newman, a priest of the Holy See Church and a fifth-rank priest."
Lu Ya narrowed her beautiful eyes: "Fifth rank?"
The woman with a curvy figure was silent for a long time, then said faintly, "It seems that there are quite a lot of masters in Pingcheng."
A fifth-rank priest was unexpectedly thrown in front of them after being knocked unconscious and tied up... This meant that the person who dealt with this priest must have been completely overwhelming.
"Do you need me to go there?" Lu Ya asked.
A woman sighed from the other end of the phone: "No need, Newman woke up once just now, but he doesn't remember what happened to him. It seems that his memory has been tampered with. We may need to investigate further."
"I'm looking for you for another matter this time."
Lu Ya picked up the water cup, took a sip of warm water with her beautiful red lips, and said, "Where is the three-day vacation you promised me after Ji Ningshuang's arrival?"
After another moment of silence, he sighed and said, "You speak first."
"Ji Ningshuang's maid just came over. She said that the sect master hopes to hold a spiritual energy test in Pingcheng in three days. Those who pass the test can be directly promoted to disciples of Guiyi Sect in the future."
"When the time comes, Sect Master Ji will also personally come to the assessment site."
"How about it? Are you interested in accepting this job? It wouldn't be a problem to secretly do something to your mistress and let her take part in the spiritual energy test, right?"
Having the opportunity to become a disciple of Guiyi Sect is something that countless time travelers in the world today dream of.
And now this opportunity is at hand.
Everyone must consider whether this may be the only chance in their life.
"Go away, do I look like someone who would sneak a backdoor into that kid's life?"
"Besides, he may not be able to pass the spiritual energy test."
“If he fails at that time, Ji Ningshuang will not accept him as a disciple even if I want to.”
Lu Ya curled her lips and continued, "Also, he and I are almost six years apart in age. Mom, do you really think I have some weird hobby of being younger than me, like driving small cars?"
The woman on the other end of the phone said in a nonchalant tone: "It depends on whether you are interested or not."
Lu Ya was silent for a while, playing with a strand of hair with her fingertips, with an unconcealable charm between her eyebrows.
He raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget it, leave this matter to me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, Lu Ya clicked on the name "Yu Ze" and sent a text message.
"Come to Chenghua Building to find me in three days. Then, I will give you a surprise."
Chapter 21 You Shouldn't Have Come
"It seems that Pingcheng has never been as lively as it is today."
At this moment, Yu Ze was lazily lying on the old sofa. Even now, when he recalled what happened today, he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart.
God doesn’t know how many time travelers have come to the world today, and how many eyes are staring at Pingcheng.
Ji Ningshuang's every move now will be watched by countless people.
Pingcheng will probably become more lively in the period after this...
At this moment, a text message ringtone suddenly came from the mobile phone, and Yu Ze took a look at the message.
"A surprise for me?"
The message from Lu Ya aroused Yu Ze's interest. He edited the message and replied, "What surprise?"
After waiting for a while, he soon saw the reply to the text message: "You will know in three days~"
Why keep it so secretive... Yu Ze muttered silently in his heart.
Just as I was thinking about what was happening over there with Lu Ya, I heard a slight sound of a door opening from the bathroom.
Baiyin had finished her bath. She was obviously in a good mood today. She did not use any magic to dry the water on her body. Her silver-white hair was draped over her back without any decoration, and her face was rosy after being soaked in the warm water.
Pure yet charming.
She walked to the sofa holding the notebook and handed it to Yu Ze to read.
"Where did the master send them?"
Yu Ze dealt with the priest and Tang Yuan just now, while Bai Yin went to the bathroom to take a bath, and now she exuded a faint scent of bath water.
For a third-rank powerful being, it is actually no problem to evaporate the water on his body or to stay awake all night.
It’s just a matter of whether you want to do it or not.
"Send them to where they should go."
Yu Ze smiled and said, "The memory is also shielded, so they won't remember anything about us."
After saying this, he stayed on Baiyin for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh at the girl's appearance again.
Although many people in Pingcheng now think that Ji Ningshuang is extremely beautiful and charming, and no one in the world can match her, even her classmates regard her as a goddess.
After all, she is a cold and aloof empress and a mature queen, and everyone likes her.
Especially the various scenes that appeared in the live broadcast when she arrived today were so amazing.
So much so that what you can see most on short video platforms today are video clips of Ji Ningshuang walking down to the mortal world step by step like a goddess.
But if we have to compare Bai Yin and Ji Ningshuang to see who is prettier, it is actually impossible to tell who is better.
Ji Ningshuang was a noble, cold, elegant and otherworldly beauty, but he just wanted to see her look shy and embarrassed in his arms.
Baiyin is of a different style, she is pure and sympathetic, has only a vague understanding of the relationship between men and women, and what she knows was all 'taught' to her by Su Dieying.
Even if Baiyin were to change into a school uniform and go out now, people probably wouldn't think that she was the owner of the cave ruins in Pingcheng.
For a girl like this, sometimes you would want to hold her in your hands and protect her, but sometimes you would also think that it would be nice if you could dye this piece of white paper with your own color.
Just imagine, taking a girl who knows nothing and teaching her how to do things little by little... This sense of accomplishment makes people happy just thinking about it.
While thinking about these messy things in his mind, Bai Yin frowned slightly and gently poked Yu Ze's waist.
"Don't do bad things." She wrote in the small notebook, looking at Yu Ze with her red eyes.
Obviously, she just felt that Yu Ze had bad intentions towards her.
Yu Ze was not embarrassed, but smiled faintly and said softly: "I remember you always said that Bai Yin would listen to me no matter what I asked her to do?"
"If I wanted to do something bad now, would you be unhappy?"
Bai Yin blushed, hiding half of her face behind the notebook, and looked at him shyly: "Don't do bad things."
At this moment, Yu Ze felt both relieved and lost.
The relief is that this innocent and cute girl finally learned to say no to others, but the sadness is that she said no to herself.
Why does he have the mentality of an old father? I feel both happy and a little disappointed watching her grow up.
