Chapter 92 Star Fixing Technique

"Uh...wait!!!!"

As dawn broke, a ray of golden sunlight pierced through the thin mist and fell on Xu Yunhan's open collar.

That chest, which should have been as flat as a rock, now revealed a little bit of its shape due to the looseness of its clothes.

Xu Yunhan's face instantly turned red, and the redness quickly spread from his neck to his ears, as if he were enveloped in steam.

Shake~ shake~

"I—I—"

Xiang Yu didn't expose the other party, but simply shook his head: "Brother Xu, you've really gone to great lengths to make yourself look more virile."

"Huh?" Xu Yunhan's hand, which was adjusting his clothes, froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with astonishment. "Male virility?"

"Oh? Could it be that Brother Xu isn't just trying to pad himself up to look more imposing?" Xiang Yu patted his chest, showing off his pectoral muscles through his clothes. "After all, when you're out in the world, you can't afford to lose in terms of presence."

"Ah—ah, yes, yes, I'm new here, and I'm quite thin, so naturally I have to put on a brave face." Seeing that Xiang Yu hadn't noticed, Xu Yunhan quickly went along with it, "Please excuse my poor appearance."

Xiang Yu shook his head. The other party was determined to leave, so there was no point in him having this information. It was better to let the other party feel at ease.

Be more realistic.

So he clasped his hands in a fist salute: "It's alright. Since Brother Xu has no intention of staying here, then we shall part ways here—"

[Congratulations on completing Main Quest 1: Find the Child of the World.]

[Gained 15 points!]

Main Quest 2 unlocked: Help the Child of the World achieve his goal.

Holy crap?!

You're the son of the world, you freaking!

Only then did Xiang Yu realize that what he knew before was just a fabricated identity, and that he had just seen the other party's true identity.

In other words, a fake identity cannot trigger system tasks?

Realizing this, Xiang Yu changed the subject: "Farewell—don't go!"

Xu Yunhan, who had already clasped her hands in a fist and turned away, was stopped by this sentence. She turned her head in confusion: "W-what's wrong?"

"Brother Xu, what is the purpose of your trip to the capital?"

"What is my purpose in coming to the capital?" Xu Yunhan paused for a moment, then replied, "Naturally, it is to promote the name of my family—and incidentally, to collect some money for food and drinks."

"Really?" Xiang Yu was a little skeptical. "Just for this, you risked your life, knowing there were strange things happening in the capital?"

"————This is it, of course!" Xu Yunhan said again.

Xiang Yu knew the other party was unwilling to tell him the truth, and since that was the case, there was no point in pressing him for an answer.

"Brother Xu, are you really just going to give up halfway through?"

"————I didn't want to, but I have no choice now." Xu Yunhan turned his back. "Before, I thought that although the capital was dangerous, since there was no rebel riot, most people should be safe.————But I didn't expect that after only a few days in the capital, I would be imprisoned and witness strange things happening."

"I'll wait until things calm down before making any plans," she continued.

"The storm is not going to be calmed down," Xiang Yu said.

"Huh?" Xu Yunhan was taken aback and turned around. "What does this mean?"

"Although Brother Xu is unwilling to be frank, I am going to be open and honest." Xiang Yu sat directly in front of Xu Yunhan. "My purpose in coming to the capital is that I have received guidance from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and have come to the mortal world to help those in distress."

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden————"

Xu Yunhan had never heard of it before, but it seemed a bit mysterious, so he continued listening.

"That's right. The world is on the verge of collapse. Although the Han Dynasty seems to be at its zenith, it is actually on the verge of collapse." Xiang Yu shook his head, looking heartbroken. "If we don't save it, then the Han Dynasty will have no future."

"This, this is that serious?" Xu Yunhan was dumbfounded.

"Is it that serious?"

"But—but my master never said anything like that—he's a powerful being who has mastered the ability to immobilize people, he couldn't possibly not know these things—"

Seeing that Xu Yunhan hesitated, Xiang Yu took out his ultimate magic weapon.

Mini laptop!

Under Xu Yunhan's shocked gaze, he pulled the thin, black square panel from his pocket, flipped it open, and connected the battery. When the screen lit up, Xu Yunhan instinctively took a step back.

I searched my local resources and found the movie.

He clicked on "2012," quickly scrolled through the progress bar, and then played it in front of Xu Yunhan.

The image is frozen on the Himalayas.

A monk struck a bell atop a snow-capped mountain, its melodious sound echoing far and wide. Suddenly, a black line appeared on the horizon. The black line rapidly expanded, transforming into a colossal wave that blotted out the sun, like a gaping maw ready to devour the world, hurtling towards the snow-capped mountain with the force to destroy everything.

The mountain peaks are as small as grains of sand in the face of the giant waves.

The monk stopped striking the bell, looked up at the tsunami that stretched like the sky, slowly sat down cross-legged, and put his hands together in prayer.

The next second, the giant wave engulfed the entire snow-capped mountain.

Xu Yunhan's pupils suddenly contracted.

She had no idea what this computer was, but the images displayed on it were truly stunning.

The scenes were so vivid, as if they were real. The textures of the mountains, the feel of the water, and even the calmness on the monks' faces were frighteningly clear.

While Xu Yunhan was speechless with shock at the scene on the computer, Xiang Yu took the computer away and said to her, "If we don't intervene in this world, it will become like this in the future."

"You—how did you know this was a scene from the future? And what kind of magic is this?" Xu Yunhan was so shocked he couldn't speak.

"Just like your immobilization technique, my magic weapon is also like that."

"Your magic weapon can also access the past?"

"No, my magic weapon determines the past and the future!" Xiang Yu boasted without batting an eye. "Moreover, my magic weapon doesn't determine people—it determines heaven and earth!"

"The legendary 'Heaven-Stabilizing'?!" Xu Yunhan covered his mouth. "Then we're—"

"That's right, everything I just said is true." Xiang Yu shook his head helplessly. "This is our future."

Xu Yunhan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

A long silence fell over the air. A gust of wind blew across the haystack, carrying a few dry grass stalks that fluttered in the sunlight.

After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "As expected—"

What? Sure enough?

Xiang Yu felt that the other party was about to tell the truth, so he quickly breathed a sigh of relief, turned off the movie on his computer, and started the AI.

He wanted to search to see if this Wei Shao'er had ever left his name in history.

At this moment, Xu Yunhan said, "I did come to the capital with one purpose, which is to find the lost techniques of our Xiang family."

The art of astrology.

"Master said that great chaos is coming. Our Xiang Sect must rely on the Star-Fixing Technique for guidance and use the stars as an array in order to have a chance of survival."

"But—I don't know where this star-fixing technique is located."

Xu Yunhan spoke sincerely, and Xiang Yu also wrote down what he said.

—The Art of Fixing Stars.

Hmm, that sounds like something really awesome.

As soon as Xu Yunhan finished speaking, the AI ​​in Xiangyu's computer finished its thought process and began to output its answer.

"Wei Shao'er was from Pingyang, Hedong (present-day Linfen, Shanxi). She was the second elder sister of Empress Wei Zifu and General Wei Qing of the Western Han Dynasty, and the mother of General Huo Qubing."

wait?

Xiang Yu stared wide-eyed.

Huo Qubing's mother?
