"Concert?" Ying Zijin recalled, "The one Lingyu attended?"
Yu Xuesheng nodded, still smiling, "Yes."
Qin Lingyu doesn’t act, but she’s already famous worldwide due to her top-notch singing and dancing skills.
Her world tour concert has one stop in Jade Ice Cui.
Besides Qin Lingyu, there are several internationally renowned singers.
Tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale.
The cheapest ticket has been scalped up to 1000 US Dollars.
"Ah, I recognize you!" Sinai suddenly spoke, "You’re the second hypnotist who treated my sister-in-law!"
About eight years ago, the Leaangle Family took Madam Su Wen out of the City of the World, seeking a way to wake her up.
They found many strange and extraordinary people, including Yu Xuesheng.
Back then, Yu Xuesheng was only twenty years old but was already ranked second among hypnotists on the NOK forum.
Although he didn’t wake Su Wen, he did make her gain so consciousness.
Yu Xuesheng was slightly surprised, "She is your sister-in-law?"
He had a deep impression of that lady’s illness.
So he rembered that the lady had a sister, but she should have been an adult by now.
"Hmm—" Sinai glossed over the topic, "She indeed is my sister-in-law. We were discussing last year whether to invite you to see her again."
Yu Xuesheng smiled lightly, "I’m on vacation recently, I’m free anyti."
Ying Zijin took out her phone, "Mr. Yu, did you book a hotel?"
Yu Xuesheng clenched his fist and covered his mouth, coughed lightly, "Yunshen helped book it. He will be here shortly, no need to trouble Miss Ying."
Ying Zijin was silent for a mont.
She seed to have forgotten to tell Fu Yunshen that she would be staying in Jade Ice Cui for a few days.
Yu Xuesheng, "He’s here to catch soone."
Ying Zijin, "..."
She expressionlessly picked up Sinai and turned to leave.
Yu Xuesheng couldn’t help but laugh.
This ti Sinai didn’t struggle, "Ah Ying, you seem to know quite a lot of people, how co it seems like you know everyone."
She truly didn’t expect to run into Yu Xuesheng here with Ying Zijin.
"So-so." Ying Zijin lowered her head, "You haven’t finished talking about the Sages."
"Oh, there are twenty-two Sages in the Sage Academy." Sinai continued, "You should be familiar with their nas because I saw the Tarot Cards here with you."
Ying Zijin’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, "Related to the Tarot Cards?"
"Yes, these twenty-two Sages represent the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot Cards." Sinai added, "I have only seen Her Majesty the Empress."
"The Empress card is the fourth card of the Major Arcana, so Her Majesty the Empress is also known as Sage Four."
Ying Zijin pondered for a long ti, "I see, the Tarot Cards were created in your City of the World."
The origin of Tarot Cards is highly debated.
So say it originated in O Continent, so in The East, and so in ancient civilizations.
Regardless, the appearance of Tarot Cards has always been mysterious, still a mystery to this day.
But in the 18th century, scholars proposed that the term Tarot should derive from Egyptian words tar and ro.
Tar ans "path," ro signifies "king."
It refers to "king’s path."
So the original aning of "Tarot" is about being a king.
Looking at it now, it seems Tarot Cards also ca from the City of the World.
No one knows how many people like Simon Brand have co to Earth from the City of the World.
"Indeed, people from our City of the World use Tarot Cards too. Real Tarot Cards can indeed predict so things." Sinai continued, "The card faces are painted based on the images and characteristics of the twenty-two Sages."
"Without the twenty-two Sages, Tarot Cards wouldn’t have any supernatural abilities."
Ying Zijin raised her eyes, "Besides living long, what other features do Sages have?"
"They possess special abilities." Sinai thought for a mont, hesitated, "But I don’t know what their specific special abilities are, as Sages seldom appear."
"Sage Empress and Sage Pope occasionally travel, but we can only see them from far away, unable to approach their carriages."
"Furthermore, when they travel, no one is allowed to look up at them."
"Long-lived with special abilities." Ying Zijin pondered, "As long as these two points are t, it’s a Sage?"
Sinai touched her head, "Isn’t that impressive enough?"
Eternal life.
And abilities far beyond ordinary people.
It’s simply god-like.
All residents of the City of the World kneel before the Sages.
Including the Leaangle Family and the Yuh Family.
Even the heads of families must unconditionally obey orders when seeing a Sage.
All residents of the City of the World have their life and death controlled by the Sages.
"Hmm." Ying Zijin slowly nodded, "If these are the only features of Sages, then I should know a few."
Sinai couldn’t remain calm, "Know, know? And a few?"
The Leaangle Family represents absolute power in the City of the World because of their close ties to the Sage Academy.
The first ancestor of the Leaangle Family was a general under a Sage.
But that was over a thousand years ago.
The Leaangle Family has been passed down for so many generations, but their relationship with the Sages isn’t as close as before.
No one in the City of the World knows how long Sages can live.
Sinai was puzzled, "You haven’t been to the City of the World, how do you know Sages?"
Ying Zijin thought for two seconds, "t online before, now they’re kind of my online friends?"
Sinai, "..."
She almost believed it.
The last ti she saw Sage Empress was three years ago.
Other Sages haven’t appeared at all.
eting a Sage is already impressive.
Knowing?
No one from the Leaangle Family would dare to say they know the Sages.
The two returned to the hotel.
Sinai held up a pillow, looking sleepy, "Ah Ying, I’m going to sleep for a while."
Ying Zijin didn’t lift her head, "Go ahead, rember to take your dicine."
She had made so alchemical dicine for Sinai, but it could only temporarily stabilize Sinai’s condition, not cure it.
Ying Zijin opened her computer, logged into the NOK forum with her creator account.
However, in the friend list, the three avatars were all gray.
This was the first ti 10 was not online.
Previously, whenever she logged in, 10 would bombard her with ssages.
At the sa ti, Ying Zijin also knew the aning behind the nickna 10.
The tenth of the twenty-two Sages, Sage Hermit.
Special ability, absolute concealnt.
No one can find him.
Including her.
It was 10 who actively found her to establish the Hidden Alliance.
She didn’t et with 10 much, mostly it was him finding her.
He never ntioned his origin.
She always believed that so people on Earth could live a long ti.
Based on this reasoning, besides 10, the other two founders must also be Sages.
The "Hidden" in Hidden Alliance not only ans hidden in the world but also represents Hermit.
That’s why the NOK forum’s login icon matches the Major Arcana’s Hermit card image perfectly.
Ying Zijin browsed through so posts before logging out from the NOK forum.
Sooner or later, they will et.
**
Jade Ice Cui Courtroom.
Ying Zijin’s kick wasn’t light; Elizabeth only woke up now.
She completely didn’t expect that waking up would an facing prison.
Attempted murder outside the airport, using guns, is a cri that can’t be washed away.
Elizabeth’s mind was still muddled.
She, after all, is from the Lorentz Family, trained in horseback riding and shooting from a young age.
At that close distance, it should be a hundred percent hit.
But why is Ying Zijin unhard?!
Moreover, it seed that she saw the bullet stop in mid-air.
"Dad." Elizabeth looked at the shackles on her hands, completely desperate, "What’s going on?"
"Elizabeth." Brule’s eyes were hollow, his voice wooden, "That Miss Ying, she’s the chief researcher, and our master even personally prepared dinner to invite her as a guest."
