Chapter 368 The Forgotten Key
“What is it?” Fleeting Ti was anxious as he stared at Ye Ci.
“What happened in your past has nothing to do with .” Ye Ci’s mood lifted when the words left her mouth. So things felt impossible before they were spoken, but once they have finally left one’s mouth, one would realise that it was very simple.
Fleeting Ti’s heart sank. He did not know how to respond to Ye Ci’s words. He stared at her silently as she continued, “What matters to is your future.”
“Huh?” Fleeting Ti was stunned. His brains had completely shut down,and all forms of logical thoughts in his mind ceased. What does she an by that?
He looked at Ye Ci with a troubled expression. Not as smart as you usually are, aren’t you? Ye Ci glanced at him. She did not speak, but a smile appeared on her lips. Has he suddenly beco dumb?
Fleeting Ti finally understood the aning behind Ye Ci’s words after a long mont of thought. But a frown was quick to appear on his face. Absalom had once told him that convincing a woman is about as easy as walking to the moon, and before he could even begin, things had already taken such a turn. Wait, haven’t I literally skipped to the last part before I even begin the process of convincing her of my innocence?
“So you an to tell that...” Fleeting Ti continued carefully after a long silence, “You were not angry just now?”
Ye Ci rolled her eyes at Fleeting Ti. Isn’t he supposed to be smart? Why is his comprehension in certain matters so bad? But Ye Ci did not plan to allow Fleeting Ti to think about the aning behind her words on his own. So things must be said clearly to prevent any misunderstanding.
“Didn’t you say that you like ? Are you going back on your words?”
“No!” Fleeting Ti shook his head. He could feel his heart in his mouth. It had been a very thrilling day.
“I still do not know how to reciprocate your feelings, but... I think I’m willing to try.” Ye Ci smiled at Fleeting Ti.
“Try?” Fleeting Ti’s thoughts were once again thrown into disarray. He had always been smart, but right at this mont, he had a feeling that he was the dumbest human being in the entire world, “What are you trying to do?”
Fleeting Ti was repeating each of Ye Ci’s words with anxiety written all over his face. He was like a child who did sothing wrong as was waiting for judgent from his parents. Ye Ci wanted to laugh, but she held back the urge due to how appropriate it was in a situation like this, “To try liking you back.”
He blinked, and blinked again. His heart and his breathing stopped. He stared at Ye Ci with disbelief, as if it was all a dream. It took him quite a mont to recover from the daze. He took in a deep breath and lifted his head after reflecting upon his stupidity, “I have a question for you, LIttle Gongzi.”
“What is it?” Ye Ci was in a good mood. The big boulder that had been waiting her heart down was finally removed. She was now looking at life with a renewed perspective. I want to live out the mont! Who cares what happens tomorrow!
“Haven’t you always disliked ? And even hated ? Why the sudden change of heart?” a wave of dizziness washed over Fleeting Ti. He had always thought that he had a long way to go in his journey into Gongzi You’s heart, but a good ending was already served to him on a platter. Even he was caught off guard by sothing like this.
Ye Ci began pondering his question. He’s right. Why am I changing my mind? Just because I want to live in the present? No, I don’t think so. She stared at Fleeting Ti’s handso face. Everything felt like it happened a lifeti ago. They were so close and yet so far apart from one another in her last life. His skillful play was sothing that she could never forget. And that was why he beca a target that she must surpass. But the distance between them shrunk without her even realising it.
And that was why Ye Ci responded with a laugh, “Because you’re Fleeting Ti.”
Fleeting Ti returned when Ye Ci was at the border of the Western Continent. He wanted to escort her all the way to the Middle Continent, but Ye Ci knew that there were still a lot of things that must be done when Genesis’s fort was freshly constructed. The guild needed manpower, and Absalom needed Fleeting Ti’s presence at the fort.
But Fleeting Ti was reluctant to part with Ye Ci so quickly, and his displeasure was written all over his face. Ye Ci looked at his expression, and a wide smile lit up her face when she thought of the misfortune that will surely befall Absalom soon.
Naga’s minions have stopped appearing. Ye Ci did not know when their next attack would begin, but it would be a waste of ti to simply wait for their arrival. She thought of the cetery hidden behind the cathedral. A bow was required to unlock the cenotaph of Dau’er, but she did not know where the bow could be found. Two NPCs ca into mind: Natasha and the spirit of Andriel.
But it was not a good idea to head straight to the Middle Continent. From where she was, returning to the Red Lake City for supplies would be a wiser choice, and she could look for Natasha in the newbie village.
She summoned Ol’ Four when she was nearing the newbie village, as a Dragon would simply attract too much unwanted attention. But her red na ant that she was shunned by the new players on her way to the village.
She was able to quickly locate Natasha, and the NPC began thinking long and hard for an answer once Ye Ci stated her purpose of visiting. Ye Ci did not disturb the NPC. She stood by silently, and Natasha finally gave her the answer, “There is a temple at the Kira Mountain Range, where our race was born. It’s probably already in ruins, but there is an ancestry bow deep within the temple. Perhaps it is what you’re looking for.”
Ye Ci bade her farewell with Natasha after receiving her answer, and left for Red Lake City.
The Kira Mountain Range was situated in the Southern Continent. The four continents were one in ancient tis, and the Elves originated from the Kira mountain range. The race was only spread across the four continents when the lands began drifting apart. Ye Ci would have to replenish her supplies before heading to the Southern Continent.
She imdiately visited the warehouse upon her arrival in Red Lake City and sorted out her items. She spotted a key in her warehouse. It was sothing that she had forgotten a long ti ago.
Red Monastery Secret Chamber Key.
Ye Ci had never entered the sacred chamber in her last life. She did not know what it contained, and in her current life, her curiosity was piqued by the key. She wanted to have a look. The key was obtained when she was lvl40, and due to how busy she was, she had forgotten all about it.
The Red Monastery was a lvl40 dungeon. It was sothing that Ye Ci could easily handle solo. She imdiately headed to the Red Monastery after replenishing her supplies in Red Lake City.
The dungeon was frequented by lvl40 players, but Ye Ci had never visited the place along with her guild as she had been busy exploring the world of Fate. This was the first ti in her current life going into the dungeon, but she still knew the dungeon like the back of her hand due to her past life experience. She could clear the dungeon with her eyes closed.
Level was the best equipnt of the ga. Ye Ci had difficulties clearing the dungeon even with a strong party during her last life, but she was able to clear the dungeon solo within thirty minutes.
When the final BOSS fell dead by her feet, Ye Ci pulled out the key and opened the door to his left. The hidden chamber was hidden within the room.
