Chapter 18: Where Did the Little Girl Come From?
In the early morning, the sun has just come out, the clouds have just woken up, and the world is so quiet that there is no sound at all. Chu Baicheng, who took care of everything, looked out from afar by the railing, and his cold eyes were so incapable of eating the fireworks of the world. The street under the inn is full of pedestrians, and it is a small town after all, not as prosperous as the City of Light, where the tide of people never stops day and night.
The sudden breeze blew up his white clothes, he leaned on the railing, and suddenly closed his eyes slightly, and that slightly solemn expression was rarely revealed by him.
Soon, there was a small sound in the room, followed by the light footsteps of a woman. Chu Baicheng knew that she was awake. The wind suddenly became stronger, Chu Baicheng turned around, it was time for him to leave.
"Xiaocheng, where are you, Xiaocheng?"
Her voice suddenly rang out, shaking his heart violently. There was a momentary pause in his footsteps, and his eyes clearly wanted to look behind him. His light blue eyes were clearly stained with red dust, and even such a faint wisp could grow over the years and bloom a pink peach blossom.
He felt a sour ache at the tip of his heart, he didn't respond, and he couldn't bear to look back. After a short stay, he finally walked downstairs, his white figure gradually blurring in the wind.
Parting is painful, let alone with you......
In the unusually quiet room, Tang Jue walked to the room where Chu Baicheng had rested last night, and his eyes caught a glimpse of three things neatly placed on the table—two golden-veined irises, a crystal silver bell pendant, and a note pressed underneath.
An inexplicable sense of loss swept over her, and she guessed that he was gone. She walked over and picked up the note. There is a temperature between the handwriting and the pen, and it turns out that his handwriting is so good, so good that it has his demeanor and atmosphere.
It reads:
Tang Jue:
Good morning. When you read this letter, I had already left first, and my matter was a bit urgent, so I said goodbye, and I hope you can understand. This pendant, I hope you can accept it, cherish, those two golden vein iris, can alleviate your new illness yesterday. I will personally return your silk clothes in the future. In addition, my real name is Chu Baicheng, I'm sorry I had to deceive you before, don't take it to heart. You said you were going to the City of Light too, and if we had a chance, we would meet again.
Have a safe trip.
Chu Baicheng
It turned out that he ......
Tang Jue lowered her eyes slightly, and her lilac eyes were distracted for a moment.
It turned out that he was the only son of light in the entire Elemental Continent at present, Chu Baicheng, the prince of the Winged Elemental Country, in people's mouths......
It is rumored that although Chu Baicheng is a child of light, he, like all the children of light before him, only had this element at the beginning, and he must rely on his own efforts to fully awaken and become a true child of light who can master eleven elements except darkness. And there is a great possibility of becoming the god of light, and his innate six-winged holy feather is the best gift of God.
Legend has it that the Children of Light may be able to awaken by finding god-level spirit trees or spirit beasts, and if they approve of them. Then he should have come to find a god-level Lingmu Qilin, right? Wouldn't I...... Wouldn't it rob him of the opportunity to awaken......
When Tang Jue thought of this, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt and guilt. Although it is not up to her or him to decide to get Qilin's approval, it can even be said that she can even be said to have obtained it easily by mistake, which is too unfair to him, he must have been looking for Qilin for a long time......
Tang Jue felt more and more sorry for him, he was the son of light, the hope of the entire Elemental Continent, how could she be a stumbling block on his way to becoming a god?
And she actually agreed to let him take his damaged Yan Silk Yi back to repair it, Tang Jue's face turned red with shame, and she couldn't wait to find him immediately to get the Yan Silk Yi back......
Oh my...... Is this a blessing or a curse for me......
Yes, it stands to reason that she should be very happy to meet Chu Baicheng.
After all, it is also rumored that when Chu Baicheng came to study at the Guangming Academy, the highest school in the City of Light, when he was twelve years old, the women of the city were impressed by his peerless appearance and immortal temperament, and even deeply admired him. So much so that for a long time after that, almost all the after-dinner chats of people in the streets and alleys were about what kind of clothes Chu Baicheng was wearing today, and what kind of scarf he was wearing. The women dressed up like crazy, and they wanted to go to the Bright Academy to see Chu Baicheng even if they were crazy. Not only the women were crazy, but his style of dressing and even his casual every move was imitated by all the young men of the upper class, because they all regarded him as a model of nobility and elegance.
Later, Chu Baicheng had been studying at the Bright Academy, so he had the title of "Prince of the Iceberg". It is said that because he only politely refuses all suitors, his smile is rarely seen, his eyes are always cold and very deep, and he loves to wear white clothes, which gives him the title of "Prince of Icebergs".
In the final analysis, it's because he is very cold to girls, thinking of this, Tang Jue can't help but want to laugh, after all, this title must be given by girls. But...... Tang Jue thought about it again, but in the past few days, when he was with me, I didn't see how cold he was, but always saw him laughing from time to time. The eyes don't seem to be so cold, but they are very gentle...... Perhaps, maybe this rumor is not true! Tang Jue came to this conclusion.
Forget it, I still don't want him, I still have business to do.
After sorting out his thoughts, Tang Jue got a ride to the City of Light. A day and a half later, Tang Jue finally arrived at the City of Light on the evening of May 26.
Tang Jue couldn't help but sigh with relief: Finally, nothing went wrong...... However, it's good to meet him by chance.
Night may have fallen, but the City of Lights, as its name suggests, is still filled with colorful lights. The entire city is centered on the Bright Castle in the center, radiating into a huge capital city in all directions. Even at night, every street of the City of Light is lit up in various colors, and there are as many pedestrians as a river, rushing in and out of the way.
It's really big, it's so beautiful!
Tang Jue looked at the dazzling scenery around him, and was carried by the crowd through one street after another. Of course, she hadn't forgotten where she was going, and she was getting closer and closer to the Castle of Light. Because when the envoys arrive in the City of Light, they will first report to the Castle of Light, and then stay nearby. She should be able to find them, or meet them.
Maybe we can meet them, right? But what if they haven't arrived because they're looking for me? Tang Jue is really worried that his sudden disappearance will affect this tribute, although things have already happened like this, Tang Jue still hopes that they can arrive on time and be able to adapt to the situation.
Just thinking about this, Tang Jue suddenly saw that there seemed to be two familiar figures in the crowd in front of him.
Hey, those two seem to be ......
When the two of them turned their heads slightly, and Tang Jue saw their side faces, she was very surprised.
Because...... It was the lime, the lime she was looking for, but the woman beside her was a pearl!
Tang Jue's mood suddenly deteriorated, and the appearance of Jiangzhu made her sure of something, if she didn't guess wrong.
She was in a hurry, and she was going to catch up with them!
So Tang Jue tried to squeeze in front of the crowd, but the two of them walked quickly. There were many fewer people in front of him, and Tang Jue quickened his pace. And seeing that there was a corner in front of them, they were about to walk into the corner and couldn't see it, Tang Jue walked faster again, but she didn't pay attention to the road and suddenly knocked down and seemed to be a person......
"Oops, who's going to hit me?" A man's voice came from Tang Jue's side, and his tone was full of annoyance.
Tang Jue turned his head to look and found that a snow-white man dressed in gorgeous black clothes was sitting on the fifth-level stone steps on the ground.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'll pull you up. Tang Jue realized that she had knocked him down, and she felt very sorry, so she hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull him up. She looked ahead again anxiously, and the lime and the pearl were gone......
"I'm still absent-minded when I knocked it down, what, so anxious to leave?" This man named Qin Yun naturally saw Tang Jue's eyes looking ahead, he was already very unhappy when he was knocked down, and now he was even more unhappy.
"No, there's someone I'm looking for. I'm sorry, I'll pull you up. Tang Jue saw that he had misunderstood himself, so he explained.
Hearing this, Qin Yun tilted his head to look at her, he habitually stretched out his slender fingers and flicked his short silver-gray hair, and the black lacquer gold pattern cross sword earring on his right ear shook with it.
"You're looking for someone, what's the matter with me. Qin Yun said coldly, could it be that she could knock me down in order to find someone?
He stood up on his own, and he rejected Tang Jue's kindness to pull him.
Tang Jue withdrew his hand, looking at him, who was a head and a half taller than her, and didn't know what to say. He didn't accept the apology, and he didn't want to pull him up. Really......
"Then take your leave. Tang Jue felt that maybe he would be less angry when she left.
"I'm going to leave without even apologizing if I knock me down?" Qin Yun looked at her coldly.
"I've said it a few times. Tang Jue glared at him back.
"I didn't accept your apology. Qin Yun's eyes widened.
"Okay, I just accidentally knocked you down blind, I'm really sorry, okay!" Tang Jue was also a little angry, she said this deliberately, thinking about how this person was unreasonable.
"You also call it an apology?"
"Apologies, of course. Tang Jue didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he turned around and left.
Tang Jue had just taken two steps before Qin Yun pulled her sleeve, and he was about to pull her back. Tang Jue was completely enraged at this time, but in line with the principle of trying not to cause trouble when going out, Tang Jue just shook off his hand angrily.
"What the hell do you want to do?" Tang Jue glared at her, and there was anger burning in his eyes.
"What the hell do I want to do, it's obviously rude that you bumped into me!" Qin Yun said quite righteously.
Tang Jue was very upset, she had never met such a stingy, unreasonable and calculating person when she grew so big!
People will always do some impulsive things when they are angry, and Tang Jue is no exception. She didn't say a word, jumped directly onto the eaves, stepped on pieces of green tiles, and left.
An exclamation echoed in the streets.
"Wow, which girl's doll is that, don't you know that the City of Light can't just fly off the wall?"
"Hey, hey, rules are dead, people are alive. It's good to be a little energetic, young man, it seems that our City of Light is really full of talents!"
"Look, you see, that girl doll is still very good-looking, why haven't you seen it before?"
......
Qin Yun looked at Tang Jue's figure running away, but the anger he was just now was inexplicable, in fact, he was not so angry, he was always angry and fast. He looked up slightly in the direction she had run away, and a hint of worry flashed in his crystal red eyes.
Is she a fool? How can she run there? Qin Yun glanced at it again with disdain.
"Where did the little woman come from, it's really troublesome. Qin Yun complained in a low voice, and then jumped onto the eaves and went straight to chase Tang Jue.
Tang Jue didn't run too fast, so when she turned around, she still saw Qin Yun chasing after her. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's even more incomprehensible when you look at her, why this person not only can't be reasonable, but also can't even hide, it's really nerve-wracking!
Tang Jue then sped up, and her anger made her run forward without even choosing a path. Running and running, the lights around her were much dimmer than before, Tang Jue couldn't help but wonder if she had run to the edge of the City of Light? She was about to stop and take a good look at the road, but at this time, Qin Yun's voice came from behind-
"Hey, don't you run, okay, you can't go to the front!" Qin Yun couldn't help but worry as he watched her get closer and closer to that dangerous place.
But Tang Jue didn't understand what Qin Yun meant, she just wanted to get rid of him quickly, and where she ran was secondary.
Tang Jue ran faster, and she soon ran to the end of the alley. She stood on the eaves, and below was a relatively wide river, Tang Jue felt that the river was full of cold air, and on the opposite side was a black and oppressive forest, which did not look like a good place.
Tang Jue hesitated, she didn't want to continue running, her intuition told her that it was not a good place.
"Hey, don't run, don't cross that river!" Qin Yun shouted anxiously. Because the river is a slump full of cold air, and on the other side of the river is the extremely terrifying Deadpool Forest, no one knows what terrifying spirit beasts and dead souls are in it!
Qin Yun's shout made Tang Jue, who didn't want to run anymore, suddenly angry again, and without thinking about it, he jumped up from the cornices and wanted to jump over the river.
"Hey!"
In a hurry, Qin Yun used harmless magic to accurately hit Tang Jue's back, Tang Jue instantly lost his center of gravity and fell into the river from mid-air......
The cold and biting river water instantly submerged Tang Jue, and Tang Jue struggled to float to the surface, but the cold air in the river water had quickly invaded every inch of Tang Jue's skin from the river.
The cold air hit her heart, Tang Jue gradually felt weak in her limbs, and there were bursts of tingling and paralysis in her heart, which was a sign of the recurrence of her cold illness, and it was also the beginning of her consciousness that was about to be blurred.
She felt her body slowly sink uncontrollably...... Until one arm wrapped around her waist, and the other took her weaker hand and rescued her from the cold abyss.
Under the eaves, the innocent moonlight sprinkled on Qin Yun and Tang Jue's soaked bodies, adding a bit of coldness.
Qin Yun looked at Tang Jue, who was pale in his arms, showing a trace of panic, he didn't understand how she could be cold all over, it stands to reason that falling into this swimming water should be fine.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Qin Yun asked her worriedly.
Tang Jue seemed to have no strength to speak anymore at this time, she vaguely felt that Qin Yun was hugging her, so she subconsciously used her last bit of strength to push him away. But as soon as her hand touched Qin Yun's chest, before she could push him away, she had already fainted.
"Hey, what's wrong with you! Wake up!"
Qin Yun was really anxious, he didn't expect it to be like this. He hugged Tang Jue and ran to his Yunya Mansion anxiously......
