Chapter 699: Chapter 699 Princess Gao Yang_1
Leaving the teahouse, the sky was getting dark.
The old man was heading back to the inn for a rest, and Qin Sisi had her own affairs to attend to, so they said their goodbyes.
As she was leaving, Qin Sisi hesitated before advising the old man: "Sir, your knowledge is vast and I greatly respect you, but you’re alone out and about. Your safety should be your utmost concern. Please be more careful in the future."
The unscrupulous businessman who got his business interrupted by the old man had planned to attack the old man. Although Qin Sisi had helped him once, she was worried about the old man being forthright and attracting trouble in the future.
The old man’s face ward into a smile as he looked at Qin Sisi with thoughtful eyes and slowly said, "Miss, having seen your skills, I know you are extraordinary. I won’t ask for your na, background or reasons. Today’s encounter will be as if we never t. As for , although I am not remarkable like you, I do have the ability to protect myself. Please, don’t worry for . But I am thankful for your kind intentions. May you be forever fortunate. Farewell."
As his words fell, he turned to leave. His thin silhouette soon disappeared into the inn.
Chance etings, imdiate connections, brief encounters and then, a refrain from any further contact.
The old man’s aloofness left Qin Sisi slightly stunned.
She stood in place for a while, a thought suddenly crossing her mind, was her assistance to the old man completely unnecessary? Perhaps he was capable of protecting himself.
Thinking of this possibility had Qin Sisi biting her lip in embarrassnt. But her attention soon refocused on the Lovesick Jade Pillow in her hand, she shook her head to clear her thoughts.
Holding the Lovesick Jade Pillow close and carrying the backpack with Ye You hidden inside, Qin Sisi walked to a relatively quiet corner. She then released Ye You and whispered, "You’ve heard it all, haven’t you? What do we do now? Return to the inn?"
Ye You nodded, then shook his head and said, "I heard it all. We shouldn’t go back to the inn. The place is cramped and bustling with people. This ghost has been idle for over a thousand years, it might not be easy to deal with. If a fight breaks out, it may attract quite a crowd."
Qin Sisi nodded quietly, fully agreeing with Ye You. She paused for a mont before suggesting, "Let’s go to the Daming Palace. The place is spacious and calm after closing ti. Furthermore, if the ghost is her, she grew up in the Daming Palace and may still foster so emotions towards it."
Ye You contemplated for a brief mont before agreeing with Qin Sisi’s suggestion.
Qin Sisi handed all of her belongings to Ye You who stored them in a portable space. She then held Ye You and walked a distance before they arrived at a deserted alley. Ye You launched the Invisible Bubble, and Qin Sisi imdiately summoned the Wings of Rainbow, taking Ye You towards Daming Palace.
The Daming Palace, with its long history and signs of wear and tear, stood calmly in the night. The elusive moonlight cast faint silhouettes, like a black ink painting.
Without the day’s hustle and bustle of tourists, the palace shed its semblance of prosperity, returning to its original desolation and darkness.
It was like an old man who had weathered countless storms, having seen both glory and bloodshed amidst conspiracy and conflict.
Countless talents and infinite landscapes, driven desires and internal conflict, all reduced to specks of dust in this palace, buried in the courtyard of ti.
Qin Sisi had visited the place the day before. Motivated by her curiosity, she had observed it closely.
Finally, she stopped at a vacant space near the edges of Daming Palace.
It seed like a small garden with a deserted palace nearby. Compared to the central palace, this one was shorter and simpler, like a disgraced concubine cast out of the monarch’s favor.
The depth of night spread, and Ye You placed the Lovesick Jade Pillow on the ground. He gently lifted his claw and drew a semi-circular arch above his head. With a toss, a large barrier silently engulfed the empty space.
Ye You directed Qin Sisi to retreat about 20 ters, then once again lifted his claw, channeled magic power, and roared, "Lightning Light Blade!"
A zap of the blue light akin to lightning shot from his hand, casting an incredibly dazzling scene as it danced like a wild snake of light against the nightti darkness, striking the Lovesick Jade Pillow on the ground.
