70: Chapter 69: Heaven and Earth 70: Chapter 69: Heaven and Earth Zhao Changhe no longer felt the impulse he had last ti to grab her, he asked very calmly, “What, is it not enough for you to spy on my every move, now you have co to openly watch bathe?
How big?
By the way, have you been watching my excrent and urine all along?
Does it sll good?”
The Blind Man said, “You were in a dream, where is there a bath?”
Zhao Changhe looked down and sure enough, he wasn’t in a bathtub.
He was wearing his modern clothes and standing in the room, not knowing where the bathtub had gone…
It was clearly a dream.
How ironic, now the real world could only appear in dreams.
He didn’t dwell on this and continued, “So you haven’t been spying on all the way?”
The Blind Man shook his head, “I have not.”
“Did you really not write the Chaotic World Book?” Zhao Changhe pressed, “I always feel that it seems serious on the surface, but deep down it’s filled with mocking, which really matches the impression you give .”
“…” The Blind Man actually pondered this for quite a while, seeming sowhat bewildered by his impression in Zhao Changhe’s mind.
He then said, “Chaotic World Book is just a na defined by the people, it has another grand na.”
“Oh?”
“The grand na is simple, it’s Heavenly Book.
Or to be more precise, it’s rely a page of the Heavenly Book dedicated to docunting the martial affairs of the human world.” The Blind Man sighed, “So it’s the record of the Heavenly Dao, not sothing I can control.
If I truly could control it, then I would indeed be the Heavenly Dao…
why would the Heavenly Dao from another realm co to do such tedious things with you?”
Zhao Changhe said coldly, “Then where is the Heavenly Dao?
Don’t give that nonsense about ‘this heaven has no Dao.'”
“The Heavenly Dao is dead.” The Blind Man answered nonchalantly, “Otherwise, its records wouldn’t have collapsed so freely to be seen by all…
So what’s wrong with saying ‘this heaven has no Dao’?”
Zhao Changhe was shocked, his eyes wide open.
The Heavenly Dao is dead?
What kind of concept was that!
“Do you think the Four Symbols Sect and Xia Longyuan are truly after the mountains and rivers of this world?” The Blind Man chuckled sarcastically, “Perhaps in comparison, the Cui Family’s thoughts are still more human-like.”
Zhao Changhe was silent for a mont before slowly saying, “You are the sa.”
“Aren’t you the sa?
Up till today, you still do not consider yourself a person of this world, constantly spewing your ‘Zhao Mansion dialect’.
How much of it is twisted language habit and how much is deliberately contrasting with this world?”
“… You said you didn’t spy on ?”
“You are the one I brought here, what’s odd about showing an interest in you?” The Blind Man sighed, “I also didn’t expect that within a few months, you would consecutively trigger the Heavenly Book, which did surprise .”
Zhao Changhe said lightly, “So you ca this ti because you think I am a talent to be cultivated, to grant more golden opportunities?”
The Blind Man didn’t reply, but instead said, “Soone has co to see you.”
After speaking, his figure disappeared and the night shattered.
Zhao Changhe opened his eyes, it was already bright outside the window, but he was still in the bathtub, the water had long turned cold.
He hurriedly got up from the tub to wipe himself dry, cursing at how he had spent the whole night soaking in the water.
If it weren’t for his advanced cultivation, he would definitely have caught a fever by now.
As for the purpose of the Blind Man’s visit, Zhao Changhe was sarcastically sure in his speech, but deep down he actually had an idea.
If the Chaotic World Book was just a page of the Heavenly Book, what about the other pages?
The Blind Man did not explicitly say, but anyone who heard it would probably be motivated to search for them.
Those were the true treasures, stronger than any golden opportunities…
also hinting that the thoughts of the Four Symbols Sect and Xia Longyuan were likely related to this.
If the Heavenly Dao is dead, who will rise to power?
That was the ultimate truth pursued by the heroes of this era, and also what the Blind Man was guiding Zhao Changhe towards this ti.
What was her objective?
As he was fully absorbed in his thoughts while wiping his body, there was a “click” sound, and the door was pushed open, Cui Yuanyang jumped in: “Brother Zhao…
uh…”
Zhao Changhe expressionlessly looked down at his unstoppable second brother, and then expressionlessly looked up at Cui Yuanyang.
Cui Yuanyang stepped back gradually and then tripped on the threshold, exclaiming “Ouch” as he fell backward and landed on his bottom.
Unable to contain himself, Zhao Changhe laughed out loud despite all his worries, “Hidden Dragon sequence two hundred and thirteen, to put it out there like that, it feels like the credibility of the Chaotic World Book is about to collapse.”
Cui Yuanyang covered his eyes, “Why aren’t you wearing clothes so early in the morning!”
Zhao Changhe leisurely began putting on his trousers, “There was also a morning where soone yelled in the room ‘I’m not dressed yet’~ who was that.”
Two maids’ heads poked out from the doorfras on either side, their eyes blinking.
Zhao Changhe: “…”
Washing away the suspicion was no longer possible.
“I shouldn’t have joked around with her like that…
but these days, we’ve grown too familiar…”
It seed that, no matter what, he couldn’t clear himself.
Cui Yuanyang, blushing from embarrassnt, scrambled up from the ground and scolded in a low voice, “What are you all staring at, go away.
I’ll bring the dishes in myself.”
The maids stifled their laughter and bowed slightly, “Yes.”
Cui Yuanyang took the tray from the maid’s hands and carefully stepped over the threshold; Zhao Changhe had already put on new clothes and watched her with a smile.
It was a brocade robe, touched with a hint of vermilion red, embroidered with mountains and rivers, grand and majestic.
The fabric was extrely luxurious, even the brocade looked like it was sewn with golden threads, extravagantly opulent.
Zhao Changhe had never worn such expensive clothes in either world…
and this garnt wasn’t even a samurai style but leaned more towards a literary air, which greatly softened his rough and bold charisma, giving him an aura of dignified calmness.
Cui Yuanyang’s eyes sparkled with interest, finding it amusing; she hadn’t thought Zhao Changhe could possess such a deanor, but finding it unexpectedly pleasing.
Similarly, Zhao Changhe’s eyes also shimred, for the present Cui Yuanyang…
was very beautiful.
Yes, not cute, but beautiful.
Gone was the fluffy rabbit hat or the tattered beggar appearance covered in mud…
Instead, lightly made up with a jade hairpin in her hair, she stood in a pale green dress, which seemingly elongated her figure subtly altering even her face shape to appear less round, more like an almond face, quite lovely.
Clearly, she was a beautiful young lady.
The only remnant from before was her neat, straight bangs making her look doll-like, adding an extra touch of cuteness.
As their eyes t, both harbored a feeling of “So this is what you actually look like…”
Then, they smiled at each other, as if a lifeti had passed.
“Co.
The good stuff!” Cui Yuanyang, delighted, set the plate on the table; when she turned around, her dirty backside from the fall was exposed, causing Zhao Changhe to burst out laughing.
There was no lifeti between them, things were still the sa.
“What are you laughing at?” Cui Yuanyang turned her head and scolded, “We haven’t had good food on our journey, why don’t you eat so?
This is where I should shine the most!”
Seeing the rich loli’s lingering frustration at not having successfully been taken into his care, Zhao Changhe’s dreamy concerns dissipated completely, and he cheerfully took a seat at the table.
“All right, all right.
What is this cake?”
“This is Jade Cake from Piaoxiang Workshop, this is Mandarin Duck Eight Treasures, this is Old Brand Zhi Rong Snow Jade Cake made by Zhang Family in the Capital…” Cui Yuanyang enthusiastically listed them, looking expectantly at him.
“See which one you like the best, and if our tastes are exactly the sa!”
She’s just like a child.
After all this bloody chaos along the way, she’s still so childlike.
Perhaps because she’s ho?
Well, actually Wei County wasn’t her Qinghe, it’s still a distance away.
Zhao Changhe tasted a bit of each and laughed, “This Jade Cake.”
Cui Yuanyang seed extrely happy, “I knew it would be the sa as !”
Zhao Changhe smiled and kept silent because that was the first one she had introduced.
He sipped fresh milk paired with delicate cakes, watched the brocade on his body, and thought that Cui Wenjing letting his daughter run to him early in the morning could indicate many things.
If what he wanted was this kind of life, perhaps just a few words would indeed be enough to have such a life forever.
With brocade robes and royal feasts, a cute wife, the ninth greatest father-in-law in the land, and a power that spans states and counties.
Yet, for so reason, he always felt sothing was missing.
Maybe it was the words of the blind man last night, always casting a shadow in his heart.
There are people constantly watching you, your every action is but a live drama in their eyes.
Another group seeks the secrets of the world, aiming at the heavens, putting themselves in place of the divine.
The setting sun’s afterglow lit up the river; the vastness of Worldly Society had just begun to unfold.
The steel blade brought out from Beimang had just been nicked; had the blade in his heart also been dulled?
“Zhao elder brother,” Cui Yuanyang’s voice ca, “Why do you space out while eating, there are no scheming boatwon here.”
Zhao Changhe snapped back to attention and chuckled, “I don’t know if there’s a scheming little rabbit.”
Cui Yuanyang blushed, lowering her head and muttered, “There isn’t.”
In that mont, the girl’s bashfulness lingered in his heart, almost shattering the glow of Worldly Society.
Zhao Changhe felt sowhat reluctant to see her flushed face, and spoke softly, looking down, “I’d like to et your father, I have matters to discuss.”
If anyone else had been there, they would imdiately think he was proposing.
But as Cui Yuanyang listened, the flush on her face slowly faded, and her big eyes stared unblinkingly at Zhao Changhe.
With Zhao elder brother’s bold and brave spirit, why would he speak so ekly if it were about a marriage proposal?
