Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu received a notice from the Presbyterian Church the next day.

The water-walking ceremony is scheduled for three days later.

Will not change.

Exactly as he expected.

They could wait, but if the ceremony was forced to be interrupted and this happened twice in a row, it would cause great instability within the dragon clan.

Tao Rusu, who finally regained the Dragon Emperor's bloodline after a series of compromises, allowed the daughter of the tyrant who committed a serious crime to enter the Dragon Country.

The Elders had already endured enough humiliation, so they obviously would not allow the ceremony to be interrupted twice in a row.

In order to strictly enforce the rituals, a curfew was even imposed.

No one is allowed to go out after 8 o'clock, and the Elders' Council has also arranged for younger generations to patrol the Dragon Country.

However, Bai Yu had not originally planned to go out at night, as night was the time when demons were most active.

Even to ensure safety, Su Ruoli, Tao Rusu and he had to sleep in the same room with a curtain hanging in the middle as a partition.

When Long Jianquan comes back, Bai Yu will move out and live with him.

It’s quite awkward to think about it this way.

During breakfast, Long Mingcheng said that Ao Qinglian had been sent to Penglai College for treatment. As long as she had not turned into a demon, she should still be able to receive timely treatment.

Fortunately, the Dragon Clan is not short of money, and they should be able to ask the vice president of Danding College to take action by spending some money.

However, this matter was kept secret and not made public internally to avoid panic.

Anyone who hears that a high-level demon is hidden inside the Dragon Country would feel uneasy.

The atmosphere in Dragon Country also became tense during the day.

Bai Yu has to wait here for another three days.

His personal actions are not restricted, which is also a privilege granted by the Presbyterian Church.

He can continue to investigate Ao Xuanyue's disappearance.

In the following time, he contacted several people in succession and questioned them in person, including the guards who had guarded Longyuan at the time, but did not get any useful information.

He really wanted to go into Longyuan and take a look, but it had been sealed off for the preparations for the ceremony, so he had to wait until the ceremony was over before he could go in and take a look.

So after just half a day of visiting, Bai Yu gradually felt the difficulty of this disappearance case.

Because the entire information chain is very complete, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air no matter how you look at it.

Although the interior of Longyuan is not a completely sealed room, it has three thresholds.

Without the intervention of mysterious forces, it is impossible for a living person to walk out from under so much surveillance.

As for whether these people will collude with each other?

The probability is very low.

The guards were randomly selected, and the two priestesses were also decided a week before the ceremony.

Even if he could be bribed, it would be impossible to explain his motive. Did he disappear just to put on a performance?

The two of them couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Su Ruoli analyzed the notebook for a long time but could not come to a conclusion. Many possibilities he listed were overturned.

Bai Yu said that he wanted to go out and relax, so he took Su Ruoli, who was a little stubborn, to visit the wonder of the Dragon Country, the 'Yunlong Palace'.

It is called the Heavenly Palace, but in fact it is a huge building built beside the mountain. Its corridors are wrapped around the mountain wall, like a dragon, crossing three mountains in succession. The highest point of the building is located on the top of Yunshan Mountain.

It took one hundred and fifty years to build it, and another seven hundred years to expand and renovate it. It's a shame that such a grand wonder cannot become a tourist attraction... Oh, it hurts just thinking about it.

It would take an ordinary person at least three or four hours to climb up, just like climbing Mount Tai, but the two of them reached the top in less than ninety minutes without even breaking a sweat.

Su Ruoli accompanied Bai Yu to climb up to see the distant view. When they reached the top of the Heavenly Palace, their eyes lit up at the sight of the sea of clouds in the distance.

Bai Yu leaned on the railing and looked out.

"I just read on the stele that to the east of Penglai lies the Eastern Desolate Sea. This Yunlong Heavenly Palace is like a divine dragon perched on Penglai, looking towards the east."

"In ancient times, standing here, one could see the Golden Crow and the sacred Fusang tree."

"Unfortunately, ever since the sea was cut off by the dead tide, there have been no more miraculous sights on the desolate sea."

"The other side of the ocean has been replaced by a new continent that is invisible yet within reach."

"And looking southeast from here, less than a thousand miles away is the island nation of Fuso."

He raised his hands to face the sea breeze and murmured, "I never thought that the world outside Daxia is so close."

Su Ruoli held her long hair that swayed in the wind, her eyes fixed on the distance: "Do you want to see the outside world?"

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Yes, don't you?"

Su Ruoli thought for a while: "I don't know, because I haven't thought about these things... I am a person who goes with the flow."

"Sometimes those with heroic blood dream of their past lives."

"I know she's not me, but... I can't not be."

She spread out her palm, and a blue lotus blossomed at her fingertips. "This is her strength, her memory, her life. But the grandeur, the sorrow, the sadness, the heroism, the ridiculousness, have all become history. No trace of it can be found in this world. Only I am here."

"We will eventually return to reincarnation, and we will eventually disappear in the vastness of time."

"You asked me if I wanted to see the outside world."

"I think maybe I don't want to."

"Because..."

"I've touched the outside world."

Su Ruoli did not feel the melancholy of autumn, but just spoke calmly. She may have been knowledgeable and experienced in her dreams, so she could let go of many things.

Bai Yu thought about it, and suddenly came up with an extremely bold and even outrageous idea. He whispered in her ear, "Then will you allow me to marry a wife each in Rome and Fusang?"

A straight-forward statement from a scumbag.

It's absolutely despicable.

Or ask in person.

Even someone as strong as Miss Su almost had her CPU burnt out.

Miss Su, dressed in flowing clothes and looking like a fairy, was cast back to the mortal world. She glared at the boy fiercely: "How dare you!"

Bai Yu clasped his hands together and said, "Please! Aren't you well-informed?"

Su Ruoli stomped her foot in anger: "These are two completely different things!"

Bai Yu felt the pain but didn't flinch. Instead, he laughed to himself, "Look, you still can't let it go, right?"

He held the girl's shoulders and said, "If you really could let go, you wouldn't have come to Dragon Country. In the end, you're still unwilling to give up."

Su Ruoli was stunned for a moment, lowered her eyes, and put her forehead against his chin: "Well... maybe I'm not as good as I thought, or maybe I'm more greedy than I thought. I want to see my sister... I miss her very much."

Bai Yu promised: "You will see her, I promise."

Su Ruoli suddenly reached out and pinched the soft flesh on his waist: "Don't think that I will forgive your insolence just now because of what you said."

"I was just joking." Bai Yu immediately defended himself.

"So many truths are being tested through jokes—you even mentioned Fusang and Rome, so why not Tianzhu and Midwinter? Do you already have a target in mind?"

Damn, is this a woman’s intuition?

How precise!

Bai Yu was not good at sophistry and could only shout, "What is that!"

Childish way to divert her attention.

But when Su Ruoli turned around, a figure really walked out from behind the Hundred Dragon Wall of the Yunding Palace.

As soon as they met, the atmosphere became tense.

Bai Yu leaned on the railing, looked at the young man coming out, and sighed: "You came at such an unfortunate time."

"Isn't it just a coincidence? You're using me as a shield."

Long Jianquan is as majestic as ever, worthy of the name Haoyue.

Although he lost to Huang Qixia, it is well known that losing to Huang Qixia is not shameful. Instead, the more he loses, the higher his reputation will be.

The 'Wonderful Monk' in Haoyue had been defeated by Huang Qixia three times, but the more he lost, the more popular he became. In the third battle, he even 'lost' to Haoyue.

Bai Yu couldn't tell the danger level from Long Jianquan's head, so he wanted to test the other party's current realm.

"I'm still a hair's breadth away from becoming a Grandmaster." Long Jianquan walked to the Hundred Dragon Wall with his hands behind his back. "I haven't gained much from my retreat, so there's no need to ask."

It's a fine line away, not a fine line apart.

Bai Yu said, "Then I feel relieved."

"That's weird!"

"If you're not a master, you're not even qualified to be a bodyguard."

Long Jianquan said calmly: "I am already at the fourth level, which is more than enough to protect you."

"Really?" Bai Yu chuckled, "I don't believe it."

"What exactly makes you so afraid?" Long Jianquan asked, "A high-level demon?"

"I was just about to check next." Bai Yu tapped the railing with his fingers.

Long Jianquan sneered calmly: "No one can find out the truth about what happened three years ago."

"I heard that you were responsible for delivering the meal when Ao Xuanyue disappeared?" Bai Yu said straight to the point: "Tell me about it."

"..."

"Can't tell?" Bai Yu became interested: "Why can't I tell?"

"I don't like people who ask too many questions." Long Jianquan made it clear that he wouldn't be proactive or cooperative. "You're a guest, so I won't attack you or interfere. But if you want to know something, I'm not obligated to answer you."

...Agreeing to be a bodyguard even though he refused to cooperate.

...Are you here to cause trouble?

Su Ruoli frowned, and a streak of green light appeared on the ends of her black hair.

Bai Yu tried to comfort Su Ruoli. He knew the way people like Long Jianquan spoke too well, so he added, "Unless?"

Chapter 376 Siblings

"Do you still want to fight with Huang Qixia?"

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "I think you are a masochist, right?"

Long Jianquan asked calmly, "What is Dou Aimu?"

Bai Yu spread his hands and said, "That's Huang Gai."

Long Jianquan: “?”

"Gongjin, please whip me harder--!" Bai Yu deliberately changed to a theatrical voice.

"That's not wrong. I'm willing to fight and I'm willing to be beaten." Long Jianquan looked at the sea of clouds in front of the cloud top. "Huang Qixia is a treasure trove. Anyone who can fight her once will gain endless benefits."

Bai Yu complained, "But once she strikes, almost everyone is either dead or injured."

"As a transcendent, who would be afraid of getting hurt?" Long Jianquan said, "Will you help me?"

"You think I'm very familiar with Huang Qixia?" Bai Yu's mouth twitched: "I can't help at all."

Long Jianquan said coldly, "She doesn't know you well, so why would she travel all the way to Penglai to see you?"

"Did I bring you a gift?"

"And he stood in front of you and stood up for you?"

Bai Yu defended herself, "I said she was brave enough to do something righteous. Do you believe me?"

Why do people always misunderstand that there is some hidden relationship between him and Huang Qixia?

Oh my god, we just have a mutual understanding and can't help but fall in love, okay?
