Chapter 779
“The Master is here.” Feng Xiu twitched his eyebrows, put away his fishing rod and stood up, “I had thought that Master would be away for a long time.”
Ying Zidian paused, “Xiao Xiu, you-”
“Master, it is common for people to grow old and die.” Feng Xiu could naturally sense the changes in his body, and he interrupted her with a faint smile, “If you hadn’t appeared, how could I have lived for so long?”
He looked relieved, not complaining, “I’m lucky to have met you in this life.”
Ying Ziji was silent, and after a long time she spoke, “You might have been better off if you hadn’t met me.”
“It was the Master who saved me. Without him, I would have died young.” Feng Xiu smiled again, “Although I am approaching the end of my old age, I only have a few years left.”
“But as long as I am still around, this Ancient Martial World, I will be able to hold on to it and will not let your hard work be destroyed.”
He didn’t even think that there would be another day when he could see Ying Zigui again.
His wish had been fulfilled, and Feng Xiu had nothing to regret.
Ying Zidian looked at the turquoise lake and did not say anything.
Only a sage is close to immortality.
Both ancient martial arts and alchemy only developed the human body to its limits.
With a life span of five hundred years, it was indeed impossible to grow any further.
“Master, I will not accompany you to the City of Worlds.” Feng Xiu looked solemn, “According to you though your enemies are in the dark and very powerful, it is hard not to guarantee that the Ancient Martial World will not be invaded someday in the future.”
“Although I am no match for the combat type sages you mentioned, Master, but if I am a supporting type sage, I can still hold off for a while.”
Ying Zigui turned back, “That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
She took out a few medicine bottles from her pocket and handed them over, “Keep this.”
Feng Xiu naturally wouldn’t refuse and took them. He joked again, “I won’t be able to stay with Master for long, but Senior Sister still has a long time to live, and might even be able to help Master with the children.”
He paused and added, “Master, that matter of the Lin family, I heard from the Grand Elder just now, I will take care of it, so don’t worry about it.”
With hundreds of thousands of people in the Ancient Martial World, how could there not be a few retards?
If there weren’t, then they would be living in paradise.
“Good.” Ying Ziji nodded slightly, “I’ll make another trip to the Ancient Medical World to teach a new set of needle techniques.”
**
In just half a day’s time, the Ancient Martial Artists had all a*sembled, all of them Ancient Martial Arts Clerics.
There were 30,000 of them in total.
Almost all the ancient martial artists with more than a hundred years of cultivation had arrived.
If all these 30,000 people went out, they would walk across the seven continents and four oceans.
The Martial Alliance had the most people coming, followed by the Moon Family.
Ling Mianxi took a look and could not find Yue Fuyi, asking, “Where is Fuyi?”
Housekeeper Yue spoke with a smile, “Miss Fuyi is in seclusion, where she is secluded, we can’t find it either, when she comes out sometime, I will give her the word.”
“Not to mention that Miss Fuyi and Miss Mianxi are close friends, this kind of thing, with her nature, she will definitely go too.”
Ling Mianxi nodded.
Fu Shi stepped forward, respectfully, “Master.”
Ying Ziji brought out the gold and silver needles, “Let’s begin.”
Hundreds of ancient doctors began to administer needles to the ancient martial artists.
In a day’s time, they helped five thousand ancient martial artists make breakthroughs.
Ying Ziji pulled out the last needle, his forehead covered in sweat.
“Rest for a while.” Fu Yunshen took out a tissue and wiped it for her, “Continue tomorrow, don’t fight with your body.”
He handed her another bottle of juice.
Ying Ziji took it and took a sip.
The phone dripped at that moment, and two WeChats came in.
[Fifth Moon]: spinning in circles.jpg
[Fifth Moon]: Master, I’ve worked out your father’s whereabouts!
Ying Ziji’s eyes stared and he called straight away, “Hello?”
“Master, it’s in China.” Fifth Moon was a little bereft, “But I can’t be sure of the exact location yet, I guess I’ll just have to find it.”
“It’s alright, you’ve done a good job.” Ying Zigui smiled lightly, “The country of China, the scope is always smaller than the whole planet.”
Lu Yuan was a knot in Su Man’s heart.
If Lu Yuan could not be found, Su Man’s body would sooner or later collapse.
Ying Ziji held the phone and suddenly spoke, “Brother.”
Her voice was cold and her tone was smooth.
But it was so seductive that it struck her eardrums little by little.
Hearing this name again after a long time, Fu Yunshen’s expression paused and his back tensed up before he spoke, “What’s wrong?”
“Yue Yue has calculated the whereabouts of my father.” Ying said, “I need ibi for a face comparison.”
But Lu Yuan had no identity in China, and there was no record of it in ibi’s information database; it was a big job.
Fu Yunshen’s back then stretched: “Good.”
Inexplicably, there was some regret in his heart.
So that was all.
Ying Zidian’s eyes narrowed slightly and she suddenly leaned closer, thinking: “Sir, you’re blushing.”
“Yes, I’m blushing.” Fu Yunshen hugged her and put her on his lap, “Then scream again?”
“Or not.” Ying yawned and rested on his shoulder, “I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it and turn into a beast later.”
“……”
**
Three days later.
City of Worlds.
The House of the Magi.
The astrolabe spins once more and the Priestess gives a third warning.
The Sage Lovers, about to return!
Norton listened on, looking bemused, making no comment on it.
“Norton, you know, don’t you?” Sara turned her head, her voice cold, “The Lover was one of the culprits of the Holy War back then, she must never be allowed to return, it must be while she is still recovered
Norton laughed coldly, “How can you kill when you’re so wasted that you can’t even figure out who the Lovers are?”
“So it is better to kill ten thousand by mistake than to spare one.” Sara’s tone was stern, “Starting tonight, anyone who returns to the city from outside, all of them will be dealt with!”
Norton’s eyes narrowed abruptly, “You’re joking?”
“Not joking, the workload is huge.” Sara spoke, “I’ve asked the tower to come and work with you.”
“No need.” Norton turned, coldly, “Don’t let anyone bother me.”
He left the Sage’s House and returned to the villa.
He saw Su Man packing his bags and just coming out of the door.
Norton’s steps paused, “The First Lady is leaving?”
“Yes, Yoyo will be back soon, so I won’t cause you any trouble.” Su Wen smiled, “Yao Yao said she would be able to make it back this evening and I thought I would go back and cook her a meal again.”
Norton remembered what Sara had said and his eyes went slightly cold, “Tonight?”
It didn’t matter who the sage lover was.
What mattered was that he was only on Ying’s side.
“Right.” Soojung said, “It’s also really troublesome for you to look after little Sinai.”
Norton slouched, “You’re welcome, First Lady.”
Sinai grabbed Su Wen’s shirt, not wanting her to go: “Sister-in-law.”
“I’ll have Yoyo come over to see you.” Su Wen squatted down, “Don’t be afraid, look Mr. Francis can still cook, you are as picky as Yao Yao, so I won’t worry.”
Sinai: “……”
How long she’d been eating dark food, Soo asked, surely she didn’t know.
She was a tool person for Norton to hone his cooking skills.
Especially since she had to guard against Norton uncovering her.
Soo Man finished her explanation and left the villa with her escort.
“Don’t look away, go away.” Norton bent down, “What’s for dinner tonight?”
Sinai lifted her small head, “Will you make me what my heart desires when I say so?”
“As well.” Norton patted her head gently, “No.”
“……”
She knew it.
Sinai didn’t want to pay any attention to him and went back to the living room first by herself.
Norton took the ingredients out of the fridge and went into the kitchen.
Thirty minutes later, he came out with the dishes, “Kids, dinner is ready.”
There was no response.
Norton looked down, only to find the little girl crooked on the couch, in a large shape, with a few bottles of wine poured next to her.
There was beer, and white wine.
Sinai had pa*sed out completely and her cheeks were tinged with a few flushes.
“What kind of a drink does a kid have, not even a drinker, and he dares to drink a mix.” Norton tsked, “What a pain in the a*s.”
He lifted Sinai up with one hand and threw her upstairs into the bedroom.
Then he went back to the lab and began his experiments.
Ying had sent him a number of dissecting tools, just in time to use.
Norton frowned slightly.
But the cure for the antidote, he hadn’t been able to find the right one.
Nor did he know when the antidote could be invented.
“Snap-”
Something fell.
Norton’s ears twitched as he put down the potion bottle and went upstairs.
His sense of hearing was sensitive.
Even from this distance away, he was able to hear the sound of Sinai kicking the covers to the floor.
Children were children, and they didn’t sleep well.
Norton pushed the door in, bent down to pick up the quilt on the floor and turned back to it.
It was the same bed.
In it, the woman slept curled up in her nightgown.
The moonlight from the window fell on her platinum blonde hair, illuminating her features.
Chapter 780
From between the outlines, one can vaguely see what she looked like when she was six years old.
Instead of the good-natured sweetness of childhood, there was more than a little coldness.
Even when she had fallen asleep because she was drunk, Sinai’s body had not relaxed.
Her whole body was curled up like a baby’s, guarding against something.
Norton knew that Sinai was originally an adult, so he bought her clothes, the kind that automatically stretched according to her body.
This was convenient and she could wear them later when she had recovered.
The pyjamas outlined her perfectly shaped, slim waist.
Obviously Sinai was the kind that
But this was a scene that could be described as “luscious”.
The visual impact was enormous.
Norton’s hands were holding the blanket, and his eyes were slightly downcast.
Memory is a wonderful thing.
When you know someone and know them well, images of them come flooding back to you.
It was at this time that Norton remembered that he had saved a woman from running away in an alleyway.
It was a casual rescue at the time and he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Sinai hadn’t taken the temporary antidote that Ying had made, but still recovered, so it must have been because she had eaten something else.
Thinking of this, Norton covered the woman with the quilt and prepared to check everything she had eaten earlier.
But just as he turned around, his leg was suddenly hooked.
Norton’s body tensed in an instant, as if a wild animal had been invaded into the realm.
A pair of dark green eyes also narrowed abruptly and dangerously.
He turned around and realised that Sinai had almost rolled off the bed, but her legs were hooked tightly around his thighs.
The position was extremely ambiguous.
Norton bent down and frowned, “Growing up and not sleeping honestly?”
What a habit.
Sinai was obviously still drunk and all her reactions were subconscious.
Immediately afterwards, she rolled into his arms, as if she had found safe harbour.
“Mum ……”
Hearing those two words, Norton’s hand, ready to pull her away, stopped for a moment, was slightly silent for a moment, and finally covered her head.
He had vaguely heard Ying mention that the former Grand Master and First Lady of the Leingold family had gone early.
After giving birth to the twins, Sinai and Shilo, they pa*sed away not long afterwards.
Norton sat down and pushed her legs and arms down.
Then he squeezed her shoulders to stop her fussing.
He hooked his fingers under her chin, “Recognise me or not?”
Sinai’s eyes widened and she nodded obediently, “Daddy ……”
“……”
Naru.
Why would he talk to a drunk.
Sinai soon fell back to sleep.
After making sure she was asleep, Norton then exited the room.
He went to the couch in the living room, picked up the bottles of wine and the snacks that Sukwan had made, and went into the lab to begin his experiments.
An hour later, Norton took off his lab gloves and finally had a conclusion.
Ingeniously, when the beer, the white wine and the snacks brought by Su Man were mixed together, a wonderful chemical reaction occurred between some of the elements in them.
This chemical reaction gave birth to a new substance, and was the trigger that prompted Sinai to recover her body.
But it wasn’t stable, so it could only be recovered for a short time.
But it is completely different from the temporary antidote created by Ying Zigui, it is not harmful to the human body and it is not resistant to the drug.
It is a suitable medicine primer.
Norton kept the refined new substance in a reagent bottle, looked at the time, and went out the door.
He thought back for a moment.
Tsk.
The body was still good.
Wasted a lot of his ingredients for nothing.
**
The other side.
The Sage’s House.
Sara arrived at the seventeenth door.
Like the other doors, the door was carved with a pattern, in the shape of a tall tower.
“The chariot is used to being alone and has an eccentric nature.” Sara paused and spoke, not in a condescending manner as she did with Qin Lingyu, but in a level-headed manner, “Tower, it is better to ask you to settle this matter.”
The thick door slowly opened and a figure gradually emerged from the darkness.
It was a man with a tall, imposing figure.
He had long black hair, a fair face and a few cold and hostile eyebrows.
The sinking cold aura that came over him made even Sara take a step back.
Combat-type sages were the strongest existences.
“To kill a lover, they would not hesitate to take dozens or even thousands of lives as a price.” Tower spoke up, “Sara, do you really think it’s worth it?”
“Are you all forgetting that Lovers she and devil are together.” Sara took a deep breath, “How could I have done this if she hadn’t followed devil and started the holy war?”
The power of the Magi was too great.
Once the second holy war broke out, it would indeed be an extinction-level disaster as well.
Last time the sage devil tried to destroy the City of Worlds, how could one know if this time it would destroy the seven continents and four oceans?
“Good.” The tower smiled faintly, “I will take care of all the people who enter the city tonight.”
He finished and walked out.
Sara breathed a sigh of relief at this.
The astrolabe left behind by the Wheel of Fate could only determine the orientation of the auxiliary sages.
The astrolabe was, after all, only part of the Wheel of Fate’s power, not her own.
So the sage devil’s orientation was not something anyone could even calculate.
It was always impossible to raze the entire City of Worlds to the ground just to find the devil out.
As the ruler of the City of Worlds, it was naturally worth sacrificing a small part to save the majority.
Sara also exited the room and she walked to the very top of the floating building that was the Sage’s House.
She held her sceptre and looked down on the whole of the City of Worlds.
Not far away, outside the city.
“Rumble-”
The a*sembled 30,000 or so ancient martial artists all boarded the plane sent by ibi.
This was all new to the ancient martial arts clerics.
Ninety percent of the ancient martial arts patriarchs had not been out of the ancient martial arts world once since the late twentieth century, still maintaining their ancient habits of playing with their phones at best.
This kind of fighting fleet, that was something they hadn’t really seen before.
The Second Elder couldn’t resist touching one of the C*ckpit’s instrument trays and was blasted out by Anthony, the ibi air fleet commander, with a fierce look on his face.
Anthony was very unhappy.
He never expected that their chief had a group of subordinates in the ancient martial world that wanted to steal from him.
In the pa*senger cabin.
“Don’t rush.” Fu Yunshen looked sideways, “Uncle Lu Yuan doesn’t have any identity information in China, I had Anthony send out the drones, it will take a month at the earliest to match them up.”
“Hmm.” Ying Ziyi paused, “I’m just getting restless.”
Fu Yunshen didn’t say anything, still those two words, “I’m in.”
Behind the two of them, Jiang Yan had fallen asleep as a silly dog.
The phone rang at that moment, and Ying picked it up.
“Hello.” The man’s voice was a little hoarse, “It’s me. ”
Ying Zidian heard that something was wrong with his voice and pondered, “You’re a Sage and you still have a cold?”
“No.” Norton coughed and frowned coldly, “I don’t have a cold.”
Ying didn’t ask any more questions and nodded, “What is it?”
“I’ll have a word with you.” Norton said lightly, “The priestess looked at the Wheel of Fortune’s astrolabe and concluded that the Sage Lovers were on their way home.”
Ying Ziji’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, “The Sage Lovers?”
The plane was full of her own people, and Ying Zidian was on speakerphone.
After deciding to go to the World City, she had also told Ling Mianxi and the others about the existence of the twenty-two sage lovers.
“Yes, sage lovers.” Norton’s voice eased, “She was one of the three Sages who participated in the Holy War with the demons back then.”
“Sara was afraid that she would cause another holy war and wanted to kill her before her power and memories were restored.”
Hearing these words, Fu Yun Shen raised his head, his eyes deepening.
If a sage was killed before returning to the throne, her power would gradually weaken even after another reincarnation.
Until they fell completely.
This was the only way to kill a sage other than by responding to a disaster.
“She told me to get rid of all those who entered the city after tonight started.” Norton smiled coldly, “But I guess I’m still not sure and will ask the Tower to do it again.”
First there were the twenty-two Sages, before later there were the twenty-two Great Alcana in the Tarot.
And the Tower is the only card in the Tarot that signifies badly in both its positive and negative positions.
Then correspondingly, the power of the Tower of the Magi will become more and more enormous.
Ying slowly raised his eyes and looked through the window at a coalescing ink cloud in front of him, “You’re late.”
Norton’s eyes changed.
Ying stood up and opened the door next to her, “He’s already here.”
She and Fu Yunshen looked at each other and went straight out of the still-flying plane.
“Rumble!”
At this moment, the sound of thunder drowned out the sound of the plane, and the sound of the wind also rose up in a storm at this moment.
The sky and earth were dim, the wind was hunting, and blue and purple lightning was exchanged.
There was a great sense of the sky and the earth breaking up.
Twenty-two Sages, Tower.
Special ability, disaster!
