Chapter Twenty-Eight: Is This World True or False?
"We?" Warm Yang said in unison, "Our fruit is there." β
With that, they pulled Ruan Qiao to the edge of the woods, and stopped in front of a small tree less than a meter away.
There are already two fruits on the tree, both of which are clean and white, and there is no pattern in sight.
"The next ushers are about to be born." Nuan stepped forward and gently touched the fruit, covered her face and rubbed it.
"Introducer?"
"We are the primers." Yang Dao, "After the birth of the next usher, we can teach them for three years, until we reach the end of our life when we reach the age of eighteen. β
Yang looked out of the woods as she spoke, just in time to see the long yellow sand in the distance, her dark eyes blinked, revealing a light smile.
"Do you only have to live to be eighteen?" Ruan Qiao was stunned.
Yang nodded, looked at Ruan Qiao and said, "The meaning of our survival is to manage the Tree of Life, eighteen years is already a long time. β
......
Next, Nuan Heyang took Ruan Qiao around twice more before sending her away.
From a distance, he saw Ji Rong standing in place and raised his hand at them and beckoned. Ruan Qiao looked back at the forest of life with a little glimmer, pursed the corners of his lips and walked towards Ji Rong.
"How?" Ji Rong asked.
"It's beautiful." Raising his eyes to look at Ji Rong's real eyes, Ruan Qiao looked at Nuan Heyang who was standing beside him.
"Thank you." She laughed.
Nuan shook her head, and when she laughed, she showed two small tiger teeth.
Seeing Nuan Heyang go back, Ruan Qiao gently touched his chin, and was a little silent for a while.
Noticing that Ruan Qiao's mood was a little wrong, Ji Rong couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" β
"I just think you're real." Ruan Qiao was in a trance, and when he heard the words, he spoke directly.
"We all exist, of course it's true." Ji Rong smiled, not understanding why Ruan Qiao suddenly said this.
Ruan Qiao bowed his head, and suddenly felt that he was really thinking too much.
No matter how real they are, they are just characters in a scene.
"Let's go." She looked back and smiled, "Go to the slave." "Keep doing what she's supposed to do.
Ji Rong naturally gladly agreed.
Riding on the beast, they soon joined up with the guards holding Xu Cheng'an.
Xu Chengan was unusually afraid of these monsters, and hugged the guard in front of him with a pale face, and gave the guard goosebumps all over his body.
"You loosen up!" The guard shouted angrily, "Strangled me." β
Xu Chengan completely ignored it, and shook it into a sieve pitifully.
Fortunately, the slaves were not very far from their lodgings, and they arrived at their destination by noon.
The slaves' quarters were much more modest than those of Jirong, with potholed roads and dilapidated brick houses as far as the eye could see.
The shouts of several guards could be heard in the cacophony of voices, with the occasional sound of whips falling to the ground.
When many slaves saw Ji Rong for the first time, they surrounded them with some novelty, but they were quickly dispersed by the guards with whips.
"Chief."
The guard, who had already received the news, hurriedly greeted him, bowed to Ji Rong and said, "Do you want to rest first?" β
He looked nervous, his hands hanging at his side clutching at the corners of his clothes or the seams of his trousers.
Ji Rong bowed his head, but said to the guards holding Xu Chengan, "Take him inside and go around, if you can't find anyone, you won't be allowed to eat." β
Xu Cheng'an's pale face was bitter, and before he could say anything, he was dragged away by the guard's arm.
Silently watching Xu Chengan disappear into the crowd, Ruan Qiao spread his hands unkindly, saying that he couldn't help.
"Aren't we going in?" She asked.
Ji Rong frowned, glanced at the slave in disgust, and shook his head.
Ruan Qiao also simply gave up.
She glanced at the dirty and crowded slave place, she didn't dislike it, but she definitely wouldn't like it, if it wasn't for Ji Rong taking her away halfway, would she have to stay here now?
Obviously, they are all fruits of the same tree, but their identities are very different.
"Gone." Seeing that Ruan Qiao didn't move, Ji Rong frowned.
"Got it." Hurriedly walked by Ji Rong's side, Ruan Qiao glanced back, hoping that Xu Chengan could find the person she was looking for.
Xu Chengan really found it.
When the sun was at its strongest, Ruan Qiao hid in a shady room and ate lunch, Ji Rong sat next to her, holding his chin and looking at her while eating, looking at the monkey's eyes alive.
At least that's what Ruan Qiao thought.
Ruan Qiao raised his eyes and looked at Ji Rong and said, "Aren't you locking me?" β
"You can't leave here anyway." Ji Rong said with a smile.
Ruan Qiao pursed his lips, and just as he put down the dishes and chopsticks to speak, a guard strode in outside the door and said, "Leader, Xu Chengan has found the person you are looking for and has already brought it over." β
"Bring it in and have a look." Glancing at the surprise on Ruan Qiao's face, Ji Rong lowered his eyes and said gently.
Soon the guard walked in with a man dressed as a slave and forced him to kneel on the ground.
Xu Chengan was also brought in, holding a piece of bread pitifully in his hand.
I didn't expect Xu Chengan to find other players so quickly, Ruan Qiao was in a good mood, and gave Xu Chengan a thumbs up with a smile.
It's a pity that Xu Cheng'an only has food in his eyes at this time.
The slave who was kneeling on the ground had his eyes obviously wide when he saw Ji Rong, and Ruan Qiao clearly saw the killing intent and tension in his eyes.
"Can I talk to him alone?" Seeing this, Ruan Qiao was basically sure that this guy was the same group as the one who assassinated Ji Rong before, she thought about it, and looked sideways at Ji Rong who had finished eating.
Ji Rong was unexpectedly easy to talk at this time, nodded and went out.
The slave was tied to Ruan Qiao's opposite, unable to struggle at all.
Of course, Ruan Qiao wouldn't think that he would be safe in this way, the person who killed Ji Rong last time would still have the ability to teleport, who knows if this person will do anything to her remotely.
She rested her hands naturally on the table, leaning back in her chair to make a casual appearance.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Ruan Qiao." Ruan Qiao said, "What about you, what should I call you?" β
This slave looks very white, and his facial features belong to a more cheerful type, except for a pair of eyes that are a little godless. Seeing Ruan Qiao speak, an inexplicable flash flashed in his eyes, and his hands were squeezed together a little nervously, "My name is Amu." β
Seeing that Amu was willing to talk to him, Ruan Qiao continued, "You're a player, right? β
Amu's eyes immediately widened, staring at Ruan Qiao dangerously, and the sound of his teeth rubbing could be faintly heard.
Ruan Qiao felt that if he hadn't tied Amu at this time, he would definitely pounce over and break his neck, "You should know that your companion didn't succeed in assassinating Ji Rong, but was killed by Ji Rong." β
Amu's breathing was much heavier, and he stared at Ruan Qiao without making a sound.
