Above Destiny

Chapter 464 Thank you
In a daze, in darkness, my consciousness was blurred.

Head hurts.

Like hitting something.

I couldn't remember where this place was, nor did I remember who I was or what had happened. I just felt sleepy and tired and wanted to sleep forever.

It seemed like I heard some sounds, intermittent and without beginning or end.

Gradually becoming clear.

"...Well, this one, you can consider him as my junior brother. Although his talent and ability are not even one ten-thousandth of mine, he is still barely acceptable. Leave the swordsmithing and other things to him. I will rely on you to take care of him in the future."

"No wonder!"

Another voice suddenly sighed: "I was wondering, it's been hundreds of years, my Eternal Empire is gone, how come there's still a Mohist who comes down to assassinate the king.

It's only been a few hundred years since the two families merged?

It’s amazing! "

"Ah, it's actually quite complicated, but let's just leave it at that...just, you won't blame me, right?"

"Why? Knowing people and assigning them to the right positions is a rare virtue. I can't praise you enough."

"You think highly of me again."

Ye Chun sighed, "I just like to escape."

Then the voice laughed, slapped the armrests, and said happily: "If you want to escape, why do you come back to me?"

Ye Chun remained silent and did not answer. After a long time, he sighed.

Ji Jue suddenly felt a hand grabbing his hair, pulling him up, and carrying him on the back, panting.

Unfortunately, it was upside down and my head was hanging at the bottom, which was a bit painful.

And hit something.

Hit twice!

Just like that, half dragging and half carrying the overly heavy burden, like dragging a dead dog, panting, he turned back and said goodbye: "Well, please excuse me, then."

"Do you want me to give you a ride?" asked the voice that sounded like an enthusiastic uncle.

"No, I can handle it."

"I'll send you to the door. It's not far... It's only a few steps away. You must be so tired. Take care of yourself. Have you eaten well?"

The chatterbox sighed and sighed, as if he was even gesticulating: "I remember when that woman who gave up her position as a swordsmith brought you here, you were still skinny and small, as if you would die in the blink of an eye. I was worried for a long time.

As a result, I didn’t realize it had grown so big.”

"...Thanks to your care, I am still healthy and can live a good life."

"Since you've already found a son-in-law, let's have a baby as soon as possible!"

The uncle urged, "Bring it to me when the time comes. Don't be shy about it. It doesn't matter if it's Ye or not, or if it's a man or a woman. I'm not an old-fashioned person who doesn't change."

Bang!
In a daze, Ji Jue felt a pain in his head again, as if he had fallen to the ground again...

Eh? Why do you say again?
"I've already told you, I'm not a son-in-law!"

"Ah? Isn't it popular to marry a son-in-law now? Never mind, marrying down is fine, but there should be a wedding letter, right? What is the family background of this kid? Let me be frank, it's okay to marry a poor Mohist who can only live as a trouser crotch, but no matter how open-minded I am, I can't accept my juniors eloping..."

"…So, you didn't listen to me at all?"

Ye Chun sighed resentfully: "Also, in today's world, it's really annoying for elders to urge you to get married!"

"Well, we were annoying back then too."

The voice became more and more proud: "But I like it!"

"..."

Amid the roar, there seemed to be the sound of a door opening.

"Okay, let's go."

The uncle sighed: "If you can't hold on any longer, don't force yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, go back quickly. There is not even a servant here. If you vomit here, I will have to catch you myself.

Also, next time, don’t bring a robot vacuum cleaner. You can’t use it, and you can’t repair it. It just adds to the trouble.”

"Please do some housework, Your Majesty..."

Ye Chun sighed, carried Ji Jue, and finally bowed: "Thank you for taking care of me. See you next time."

"Hey!"

The voice behind the door laughed, "Shouldn't this be a farewell forever?"

No one responded.

In silence, the door closed.

From now on, it’s a long road.

Amidst countless confused thoughts, Ji Jue was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. More often than not, he seemed to be in a trance, falling into one illogical dream after another.

I fell into the sea and was chased by a shark. The shark caught up with me on a tricycle. Don't be afraid, I have a plane. But it was dark and the plane couldn't be used. It was a close call that I escaped from danger.

I smell citrus and lime, very sweet. Is summer here?
I’m too tired. I won’t do any homework today. I’ll take a rest and sleep a little longer. I’m so sleepy. The oranges are so sweet. I want to eat more.

I heard tired breathing and complaints.

It seems like he is scolding Ji Jue.

Who is Ji Jue? What is Juan Gou?
He opened his eyes with difficulty.

In a trance, I saw a sky full of rainbow light. In the darkness, there seemed to be stars shining, and there was a blurry face covered with dust.

Carrying him on my back, I moved forward step by step.

"Mother……"

Ji Jue murmured dully.

In the silence, she turned back in surprise, the expression on her face seemed to soften for a moment, she sighed, reached out her hand helplessly, and pinched his face.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you."

"...From now on, you must remember your sister's kindness, understand?"

elder sister?

In a trance and confusion, Ji Jue's eyes moved slightly, as if he finally recognized her appearance, and his lips moved, opening and closing with difficulty.

Ye Chun came closer in surprise, listened, and heard doubtful mumblings.

"...Salted fish?"

【? 】

“Hehe… the paper… is almost done…” Ji Jue smiled smugly in a trance: “I’m hungry… go cook me two dishes, add more… spicy food…”

Bang!
Ye Chun withdrew his fist expressionlessly.

Then he threw another punch.

After thinking about it for a while, he still felt unsatisfied, so he punched him again and kicked him a few more times!

After putting Ji Jue on the ground, he took two steps back, took a sprint, jumped up and kicked!
You bastard, I'm just trying to save you for no reason!

Next time, you will just rot to death in the whirlpool by yourself! Even if you fall into the hands of an old man and become a slave, no one will pay attention to you even if you kowtow and cry and say you know you are wrong!

Just like that, Ye Chun made his belated decision.

Then, he pulled up his legs with great effort, as if he was dragging a dead dog, and set off again angrily.

The journey home is long.

A beautiful day, with a beautiful morning, a beautiful noon, and a beautiful afternoon.

When the afternoon bells of the dilapidated church ring, believers sing hymns passionately, and the old priest holds up a cup of black tea, he often sighs and laments that on that day half a year ago...

It's really thrilling and exciting.

Fortunately, I ran away early!

Otherwise, how can we get such beautiful sunshine?

How could he start from scratch and build such a huge fortune?

Ziliu~

A pleasant moan came from his throat.

As the saying goes, the years are quiet and good.

Until hurried footsteps were heard from outside, and someone ran in with sweat all over his body and a look of joy on his face: "Master Priest, great joy, great joy, great joy!"

"Ah?" The chief priest was surprised and stood up subconsciously: "Someone came to donate money? Quick, take me to receive them..."

"No, not those... No, no!"

The followers were out of breath, their eyebrows were dancing with joy, and they shouted excitedly: "I, I just heard in Huangji that it was Lu, Lu, Lu Changsheng... The chief saint has been resurrected! Resurrected!

Resurrection after death is truly a sacrament!"

"What the hell?!"

The chief priest widened his eyes in a daze and screamed, "What the hell did you say?!"

"Yesterday, yesterday!"

The follower Ton Ton Ton picked up the teapot and drank it. He wiped his mouth and grinned and said, "The chief saint, he suddenly appeared in the temple and killed a bunch of chickens and dogs such as Tianxinhui, Wulou Temple, Xueyan, Xiufeng, etc. in seconds. He also killed a tyrant and severely damaged Changle and Anguo..." "Ah?"

The officiant was stunned: "What the hell?"

Are you talking to me about a Lu Changsheng?
"Not only that, but they also seized the Seal of the Nation! The Seal of the Nation is the great inheritance of the Eternal Empire, and Chi Xiao also appeared!"

In a daze, the chief priest shuddered and his hair and beard trembled.

Shrink.

"And he said it in public... a clay chicken and a clay dog... a bid to sell his head... an old dog from Tianlu..."

The followers recounted what they had heard incoherently, finding it increasingly difficult to contain their joy, but they saw that the old high priest seemed to be gradually beginning to tremble.

He must be as excited as I am, right?

"The Lord of Sacrifices also said at the end that when I establish the Holy Dynasty of Transforming Evil, I will transform evil into good and restore order. By then, all my followers will be granted titles..."

Bang!
The teapot fell into pieces from the hands of the chief priest.

Shivering, sweating, and with a dazed look in his eyes.

Unable to bear it any longer, he screamed as if he had lost his parents.

“——Lu Changsheng, I’m a f**k!!!”

God’s fucking seal of the country, God’s fucking clay chicken and clay dog, God’s fucking old dog Tianlu... You’ve done such a big thing, you’re awesome, you’re noble, you’re great!
But what should I do? !
I, I...

"It's no use, pack up your things now!" The chief priest stood up in fear, "We can't stay here any longer, hurry up, let's go to the middle..."

boom! ! !
At that moment, the wall collapsed, countless bricks and stones exploded, whizzing past, and instantly crushed the stunned followers in front of the high priest into meat paste and blood foam.

splash.

Amid the rustling dust, sunlight shone in, illuminating the figure walking in from outside the wall.

Look at him.

"The evil cult, huh?"

The chief priest stood there in a daze, trembling, and nodded with difficulty.

"Okay, keep this. Take it back and slice it up for research." The intruder nodded and said to the people behind him, "Kill all the others who are involved. Don't leave any alive."

The sound of swords being drawn was heard.

The hymns stopped, the temple was stained with blood, and soon everything was shrouded in flames and turned into thick smoke that rose into the sky.

Such raging fire and thick smoke have been rising continuously from all over the world since yesterday, one after another, place after place, piece by piece.

From the Federal Security Bureau to the Imperial Security Bureau, from the Four Kings of Middle-earth to the countless monsters and demons of the Thousand Islands, and even the Tianxin Society, Xiufeng, Blood Eye, and Wulou Temple...

All the people with red eyes began to sharpen their knives, chasing all clues of the evil cult, and started a vigorous sweep. Then, they pulled them out one by one, tortured them, and interrogated them.

What's your last name? How old are you? How many acres of land do you have? What did your ancestors do for three generations?

And, most importantly, where on earth did that damn Lu Changsheng go!!!

From the sky up to the underworld.

Unfortunately, both places are nowhere to be seen.

Lu Changsheng seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, hiding in the darkness... watching their actions with mockery, silently incubating the next offensive and frenzy.

I don't know how many people were defeated, how many got angry, and how many shed tears. In the chaos, it was a life-and-death struggle.

At the same time, compared to the appearance of the Seal of the Nation and the heavy damage to the Sower, a "little thing" happened on the same day that was beyond everyone's expectations.

Just as the ground guard Ellis was leaving with a sword in hand, in the imperial capital, the honorable Emperor was assassinated while enjoying afternoon tea in his palace.

He was shot in the heart and his life was in danger.

Three minutes later, the capital was under martial law. Within an hour, the Secret Service searched the area within a thousand miles. Finally, three hours later, they finally located the crime scene - just outside a small town on the edge of the empire, on top of the highest snow-capped mountain in the world.

It is 6,106 kilometers away from the palace.

In the midst of the snow, wind and frost, the attacker had long disappeared. On the velvet cloth on the rock was left an old-fashioned hunting rifle and a bullet shell.

There is also a white owl feather swaying in the wind.

Nirvana!

Before one wave subsides, another wave arises, and then another and another.

Time seemed to become strange all of a sudden. Everyone was watching the news, stunned and looking at each other.

He looked up blankly at the sky.

Is this still the world that I was familiar with?
In confusion and hesitation, I couldn't help but start thinking.

Where will everything go from now on?

A week later.

The same afternoon, the same sunshine.

Xinxiang Sanatorium.

The bougainvillea beside the flower bed hangs down beautifully, swaying in the wind.

Ji Jue sat in a wheelchair with the phone in his hand. After hesitating for so many days, he finally made up his mind and dialed the number.

A short busy tone came from the receiver.

Was quickly connected.

A warm and calm voice came from the other end, "Ji Jue? It's rare that you contacted me on your own initiative. What's the matter?"

After hesitating for a long time, Ji Jue finally spoke:
"Lu...guard."

"Ok?"

Lu Yingyue was puzzled.

Ji Jue said, "Thank you."

"Hmm? Have I done anything good again?"

The voice on the other end seemed to laugh, and asked curiously: "I heard that your teacher broke your legs again recently, several times... It's rare to see her so angry, you are unlucky. No matter how much you praise me, I can't plead for you, I can't help you."

"I……"

Ji Jue opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.

In this too long silence, he finally made up his mind and told her: "Besides me, this is what another person wants me to tell you."

"Thank you."

He repeated, "Thank you."

Silence comes again.

It was like being stunned.

But I can't tell whether I understand it or not.

All I could hear were faint breathing sounds, slight noises in the office, and typing sounds on the keyboard.

For a long time, until the memories that were too long came to an end.

A sigh.

"…Thank you for telling me, Ji Jue."

Lu Yingyue said: "You don't have to care about anything. I should be the one thanking her. It's been so long. I originally thought, no... it's nothing."

She didn't speak for a long time.

But this time, a gentle laugh seemed to be heard in the silence.

"You did a great job, Ji Jue."

Lu Yingyue said, "She will be proud of you."

"I know."

Ji Jue also laughed.

Just like that, after a brief greeting, we said goodbye and the phone was hung up.

It's like nothing happened.

But in the silence, he leaned on his wheelchair and couldn't help but look up and stare at the afternoon sky.

As relieved.

Among the green leaves, birds spread their wings in the amber sunlight, soared into the sky, and flew into the endless blue.

A gentle breeze blew from afar.

"What a nice day."

The long-lost fatigue resurfaced, like warm sea water, covering him little by little.

Ji Jue closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

There is no darkness and fire in dreams.

sunny.
