In the endless galaxy, where the starlight gathered, a huge purple-gold star appeared, surrounded by a tremendous colorful aura and enormous imperial power.
"Purple air comes from the east, purple myrtle appears in the world, hiss, someone is actually trying to take away the luck and tamper with the fate!"
Chapter 87: The Bet One Year Ago
2023-11-10
After Han Mo figured out the situation, he was still a little confused. He really didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
I didn't expect that in addition to providing strategies, notes also have the ability to control time.
But he changed his mind and remembered that the notes could compress a perfect foundation building that would take a hundred years to achieve into just one day, and compress the foundation building fire sword that would take ten years to master into one hour.
Being able to speed up cultivation and shorten cultivation time, isn’t this also a kind of ability to control time?
Since we can compress time, it is not so outrageous to be able to travel through time and go back to the past.
Perhaps this notebook itself is a time-related treasure, just like Han Tianzun's small green bottle.
Thinking of this, Han Mo quickly felt relieved and gained a new understanding of the ability of note-taking.
In any case, now that it has happened, there is no help in thinking about anything else.
We can only take one step at a time!
According to the notes, the devastating ending triggered this time requires one to safely spend three days in the past before returning to the other world.
So, for safety reasons, it is best to stay with the family during these three days.
After all, there are so many Jindan strong men in the Marquis' Mansion, so it is not easy to protect him.
Han Mo originally thought so, however...
"Prince, didn't you leave home for Suzaku Street early in the morning? Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you have enough fun?"
The Han family member next to him seemed to think of what he saw in the morning and suddenly asked.
Han Mo was stunned for a moment.
"If you don't have enough fun, I know a fun place. I guarantee you will be satisfied..."
It seemed that Brother Passerby asked this question out of his desire to please Han Mo, and he even recommended a fun place at the end.
As for what kind of fun place it was, Han Mo knew with just a thought that it must be a place of entertainment such as brothels or theaters.
However, thanks to the reminder from this passerby, Han Mo thought of a very serious problem - at this point in time, there is another him, that is, himself a year ago.
From what this person said, it seemed that the other him went to Suzaku Street to look for prostitutes and was not in the Marquis' Mansion for the time being.
However, if he continued to hide in the Marquis' Mansion, he would inevitably meet another self.
In this case, let alone ensuring his safety, once the Han family’s top management discovered that there were two Han Mos, he would have no way to defend himself.
Could it be that a real and fake Monkey King was being performed on the spot?
Besides, he had seen a lot of things like traveling through time to the past in novels and movies.
Who knows if meeting your past self will cause some strange butterfly effect or change the timeline, thus affecting the future?
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he must not stay in the Marquis' Mansion, and it would be even better for him to leave Yifeng City, because if he wandered around in the city, he might run into the other party.
Thinking of this, Han Mo came up with an idea in his mind. He turned around and left the mansion without hesitation and headed out of the city.
As Han Mo's figure gradually disappeared in the endless stream of people, a red sun rose slowly, bringing clear and good weather.
There is a constant stream of people at the north gate of Yifeng City. As the largest main city in Tianhai Prefecture, there are naturally quite a lot of people coming in and out every day.
As the saying goes, a day's plan begins in the morning. All the monks who leave the city in the morning are full of energy.
They either went out of the city to collect herbs, or traveled together, or invited each other to hunt monsters together. They talked and laughed all the way, creating a very happy scene.
This is also the most common scene in the world of cultivating immortals.
“Gee, gee! Get out of the way, get out of the way!”
However, a bell-like cry suddenly interrupted this beautiful picture.
But then I saw a young woman riding a swift horse, galloping out of Yifeng City quickly, whizzing past like a whirlwind, raising a cloud of dust along the way.
The passers-by who were choked by the smoke and dust and coughed continuously were all angry. Just as they were about to shout, the moment they looked up, they were all stunned where they were, staring at the girl on the horse as if they had lost their souls, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
Oh my god, what a gorgeous fairy this is!
It may not be quite accurate to call her a fairy. It should be said that she is a stunning beauty with the potential to bring disaster to the country and the people in the future.
Her face was as delicate and flawless as ice and snow, with clear and bright light red eyes, emerald eyebrows, white teeth, skin as white as cream, and long, bright silver hair tied into a neat ponytail that swung up and down as the horse ran.
She looks young and is relatively small in stature.
However, if she is given a few more years, she will probably grow into a peerless beauty who is so stunning that she can overwhelm the whole country.
"What a beautiful girl! Whose unmarried girl is this?"
"Brother, quickly restrain your gaze, don't risk your life, this is Miss Su Mengyao, the daughter of Yifeng Marquis Mansion.
She is famous throughout Yifeng City for her peerless beauty, rare silver hair, and heterochromatic red eyes. The only two sisters from the Jun family who can rival her in beauty are the three sisters from the Jun family. The three girls are collectively known as the Three Beauties of Yifeng City!"
"It's actually her!"
"This Miss Su is usually very arrogant and has a bad temper. If she finds you staring at her like this, she will definitely dig your eyes out."
"Hi~!"
"Although Miss Su is a girl, she has a man's temper. Gouging your eyes is too small a thing to do. She might even cut off your bottom!"
"Hey~!"
Su Mengyao heard all the discussions of passers-by. Under normal circumstances, with her proud personality, she would definitely pull out the whip without saying a word and severely beat the person who said she had a bad temper.
Unfortunately, she was not in the mood for that at all. She was extremely anxious at the moment, and she rode the monster horse quickly towards the northern suburbs of the city.
After traveling ten miles at a fast pace, Su Mengyao suddenly pulled the reins to stop the horse, and said to the person behind her without even turning her head:
"Han Qi, you don't have to follow me. I'm in a bad mood today and want to go for a drive in the northern suburbs of the city."
There was no one behind him and no response for a long time.
Su Mengyao raised her eyebrows and said in a serious tone:
"Han Qi, are you deaf?"
When Su Mengyao got angry, a hoarse voice came from the empty space behind her.
"Miss, I have been ordered by the old marquis to protect you every step of the way. I dare not leave without permission, for fear of being punished by the old marquis. Please understand my difficulties."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Grandpa.
But if you don't leave, I will tell Grandpa that you went to Jiyue Tower to secretly meet your old lover while I was playing with Hu Mei'er last time."
Su Mengyao frowned and warned in a serious tone.
"How did the young lady know about this?!!"
The voice from the back suddenly became a little stumbling. It was already hoarse, and the stuttering made it even harder to hear.
"Don't worry about how I found out. I just want to ask you one question: are you leaving or not?"
There was silence at the back for a long time, and then a helpless sigh was heard after a while.
"Got it, Miss, but please don't run too far. I will wait for you outside Yifeng City."
As he spoke, his voice gradually faded away, and the last sentence was almost inaudible.
Seeing that Han Qi left honestly, Su Mengyao nodded with satisfaction, whipped the horse whip, and continued to head north.
After riding for another three or four miles, Su Mengyao finally stopped outside a bush.
After dismounting and tying the reins, she sat on a large bluestone outside the bushes, staring anxiously in the direction of Wingwind City, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves soon came from the distance. Su Mengyao's eyes lit up and she jumped up from the stone in an instant.
"Here, Sister Mei'er, I'm here!"
She stood up and waved quickly.
Not long after, another swift horse came running towards the bushes, with a young woman sitting on the horse.
This girl is Hu Meir, Su Mengyao's best friend since childhood. She is also the youngest daughter of the Hu family, a family of sword cultivators, and the younger sister of Hu Zhuo, whom Han Mo defeated at the Ascension Conference.
Soon, Hu Meir came out of the bushes, dismounted and came to Su Mengyao's side.
"How is it, Sister Mei'er, is there any news?" Su Mengyao asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, Mengyao. I've already gotten the news. The Dingfeng Flower is in the Thunder Valley outside the northern suburbs of the city."
"That's great, let's go quickly!" Su Mengyao cheered and prepared to leave immediately.
Hu Meir pulled her back and said with a smile:
"Hey, wait, my dear Mengyao, now you should tell me the reason. Why did you come here alone to look for this Dingfeng Flower?"
Su Mengyao finally realized that she had kept the secret before and promised Hu Meir that she would tell her the reason after she helped her find out the news.
“Oh, I almost forgot, actually I successfully broke through to the tenth level of Qi Refining a few days ago, and became the youngest cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining in the Marquis’ Mansion.
Grandpa was very happy when he found out, so I took advantage of his good mood and proposed that condition to him again - I don't want to join the same sect as that stinky Han Mo at the Ascension Conference next year."
When Su Mengyao mentioned that she had broken through the tenth level of Qi Refining, Hu Meir's expression paused and the smile on her face seemed to freeze for a second, but returned to normal in an instant.
"Han Mo? Isn't that your dandy cousin? I remember you hated him very much.
Don't want to be in the same sect with him? Mengyao, I remember you have water spirit roots, so you should join the Xinghe Sword Sect. Why does your cousin also want to join the Sword Sect?"
Su Mengyao said with some distress:
"That's right, everyone in the entire Marquis' Mansion knows that the person I hate the most is Han Mo.
I try to avoid this annoying guy almost every day, but even so, he is like a sticky candy that I can't get rid of. He always comes up with excuses to compete with me to annoy me, but he can't beat me every time.
That's why I want to join the Sword Sect as soon as possible, stay away from him, and concentrate on my practice.
But I don’t know what grandpa was thinking. He insisted on letting Han Mo join the Sword Sect, and the head of the family did the same.
I have discussed with them more than once that I don’t want to stay in the same sect with Han Mo, but he rejected it every time. "
"Then why this time..."
