Chapter 964: Chapter 568: (Refreshed at 2 A.M.) (Part 2)
“So, she was never worried about the Fengchan Grand Ceremony failing from the start, because with the help of the Li Clan’s nobles, there would definitely be auspicious ons from the bright moon…
“Ha, so at the last mont before the Fengchan, she privately asked to conduct the grand ceremony properly, not to deliberately ss it up, otherwise, if I, under ng Zhengjun’s nose, did things randomly and still had the auspicious ons from the bright moon, wouldn’t the Academy beco suspicious? It all makes sense now… but it’s also hard on her, putting on so many acts that I’m starting to wonder… is she truly the Empress Dowager of the Great Li? Could it be that…”
The man rubbed his face, “Is she really the biggest ‘Great Thief’ of the Great Li Dynasty…”
Under the Glazed Do, Zhao Rong silently reviewed, and the transparent woman beside him quietly watched, not urging him.
It seed that being able to linger for a while was good enough.
Whether it was just sending gifts earlier, or now.
While reviewing this trip to the Great Li, Zhao Rong suddenly laughed.
He didn’t care whether the transparent woman could understand or not, he softly said to her:
“Before I ca, I actually thought that the undercurrents beneath the surface of this Great Li Dynasty were not shallow, but I didn’t expect the water to be this deep. Even our Linlu Academy has beco a pawn being used, borrowing people and influence, yet still kept in the dark.”
At that mont, Zhao Rong’s thoughts flowed smoothly, and he smiled with so sentint:
“Moreover, the most important thing is that this Duguxi has a seemingly powerful Li Clan backing her, yet she still openly seeks aid from our Linlu Academy. Can’t the Li Clan reveal themselves? Or could it be… that they too have enemies they fear? Cannot be discovered by the other party, so who is this enemy?
“Is it the Tianya Sword Pavilion maintaining order in Wangque Continent’s mountains, or… the Youwang Family that once took over Wangque Continent from the Human Clan and sent away the Li Clan, or so other formidable forces? Are they also ddling in the matters of Great Li? They’ve hidden well enough, not a trace to be seen.
“No.”
He suddenly denied: “This ti, who exactly is the one behind Qin Jianfu’s ambush? Is it them? Or are they related.”
Zhao Rong’s starry eyes slightly narrowed.
This enmity, he is determined to avenge, but he must find those rats hiding behind.
Yet, those people seem very cautious, using Qin Jianfu to kill by proxy…
Zhao Rong shook his head, “Besides all this, the most crucial and fundantal thing is… what is the Li Clan’s purpose for returning to Wangque Continent…”
Zhao Rong suddenly turned his head, asking the transparent woman: “Do you know?”
The air fell silent.
…
——————
The smile on Zhao Rong’s face finally lightened a bit.
The transparent woman suddenly extended her hand, pointing at his chest.
Zhao Rong looked down and realized, “Are you talking about that little red flower you gave ?”
That very strange blood-red Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flower, which he’d kept in his chest pocket.
The transparent woman nodded.
Zhao Rong thought for a bit, “Do you an to use this little red flower as a token, and next ti, when we et, I’ll bring it along?”
The transparent woman nodded vigorously.
Then she seed to beco joyful and started to float around Zhao Rong, spinning and dancing.
In the autumn wind, her sleeves fluttered, reminiscent of the Goddess in departing murals.
Zhao Rong also smiled and spun around, clasping her hands with his own two fingers, facing each other, floating and spinning in the air…
He was quite familiar with this weightless floating under the moonlight.
Soon after, the two played and spun all the way back to the center of the Wangque City ruins, next to the Crystal Pavilion where they first t.
The two passed through the hot spring filled with Nine Heavens Cold Palace Flowers, arriving outside the Great Hall that Xiaoyu once pointed out to Zhao Rong.
At this mont, the transparent woman turned to glance at the do, as if recalling sothing, and suddenly halted.
She tugged on Zhao Rong’s sleeve, pointing upwards at the do.
Zhao Rong looked back, curious, “What is it?”
This place, nad Wangque Ruins, is located within an enormous stone cave.
Zhao Rong previously speculated that it must be inside Sacrificial Moon Mountain, or an underground cavern, or perhaps a hollowed-out mountain.
And the do of this stone cave is very peculiar.
Half of it is rock, while the other half is made of glazed material, shaped like a crescent moon.
So when you look up, it resembles a huge bright moon.
Moreover, this glazed crescent do emits a blue glow, and upon closer inspection, a certain kind of flowing liquid seems to be on the upper side of the glazed do.
The blue light emanates from these.
Through the glazed view, there are so unknown pale blue lines in the flowing liquid, like serpents of unknown trajectory, varying in intensity and form…
This place reminds Zhao Rong sowhat of the underwater aquarium he visited in his previous life, resembling sunlight penetrating glass, only the colors are different.
Unsure of what liquid it is above.
Additionally, the glazed material of this world is not as translucent as the glass of the previous life, but more hazy…
At this mont, the transparent woman pulled Zhao Rong, heading for the glazed crescent do overhead.
Zhao Rong said nothing more, following her lead.
Soon, the pair flew in front of the glazed do.
Only then, upon close observation, did Zhao Rong truly confirm that there was indeed water above the cave, seemingly… a lake.
Connecting this to the location being Sacrificial Moon Mountain…
He suddenly had a faint speculation rising within him.
The transparent woman looked up at the glazed crescent do before her, seemingly able to see things within the lake beyond the glaze.
