Xiche and Xingze finally arrived at the top floor of Ye Tower. Facing the crumbling door, Xiche silently made a gesture of invitation.
Xingze looked at the other party.
Xi Che smiled and said, "I won't go there, for fear of death."
Xingze nodded, then pushed the door open and entered.
The old man with white hair and white beard sat behind the door.
Ye Ye College has been reduced to ruins. I don’t know how many white towers have been knocked down, and I don’t know how many students have died, but the old man has been sitting in it without moving a step.
Xingze looked at the other party and said with a smile: "You are really hard-hearted."
Lin Xi looked at the other party: "I'm just leaving a glimmer of hope for the teacher's hard work."
Xingze smiled and said: "Is there a chance of survival?"
Lin Xi closed her eyes, considered it carefully, and then said: "Yes, more than a line."
Xingze looked at the old man's rogue face and couldn't help but laugh. Then he took two steps forward and said, "Want to give it a try?"
Lin Xi looked at him: "You can't beat me."
Xingze nodded: "So is Star Master your opponent?"
Lin Xi smiled innocently, without any embarrassment on her old face: "Then I can't beat him."
"Since you know this." Xingze looked at the old man who was the best in the world: "How can we still end up like this?"
Lin Xi spread her hands. The old man made so many small movements, but his expression was calm and decisive: "Because there is no way to retreat."
Xingze nodded and turned to leave. The moment he turned around, the white-haired old man instantly dissipated into a pool of clear water, and then the spring of the fourth year of Qingli who had been waiting outside the door.
Starting with these two people, the entire world began to collapse and disintegrate. The trees, soil, bricks, stones, gold and iron all dissipated and turned into a pool of clear water.
This is a mysterious world. When they unfolded, the fibers appeared to be more real than the real world. But when they collapsed, they eventually turned into a huge lake with no edges visible at a glance.
Xingze stood in the original world again, standing on the waves of the lake. Christie, with short dark chestnut hair, looked at him with a half-smile.
Lan Che stood there with a slightly confused expression, a little confused and a little enlightened.
Xingze bowed his hands to Christie without saying a word. Lan Che looked at Alaya Shi and asked, "Can I believe what I saw?"
"No." Christie replied with a smile: "Never take any of this seriously, and don't take any of this as fiction either."
Saying this, Lan Che once again felt a trance in front of him, and suddenly realized that he was still holding the cup of lavender juice in one hand, and the other hand was still against the cold and smooth crystal ball.
The wall of the cup is still cold to the bone.
…
…
Ye Ye's third examination ended like this. No matter how popular or thrilling it was, as the three major clubs finally collected outstanding students, this year's entrance examination was finally coming to an end.
Anyway, all this has nothing to do with Lan Che.
After all feasts, the music ends and everyone disperses, and the dishes are in a mess.
Lan Che stood there for a long time. When all the people coming and going had left, it was quiet again beside the leaf tower, with only the chirping of insects echoing in his ears.
In fact, she hasn't done this for a long time. Every day of her life is very fulfilling, whether it was a long time ago or not long ago.
She has been a true genius since she was a child, but she has worked harder than many geniuses, and even paid a more terrible price, to finally reach where she is today.
Therefore, she has never had the leisure she has now, nor has she had the half-free life she has now.
Lan Che looked up at the rising moonlight, as if looking at a pool of silver water. She looked at it again and again, but never moved.
Xingze left a long time ago. He either entered Ye Ye College or not. This is not a problem.
It has nothing to do with Lan Che either.
It wasn't until the bright moon finally reached the top of Ye Pagoda that Lan Che finally took the first step, and then came to Yao Pagoda step by step and walked towards Bei Luan's ward.
His Highness the Third Prince was still standing guard at the door. When he saw Lan Che approaching, he bowed his head slightly in greeting.
Lan Che nodded, then opened the door and walked in. The purple-haired girl was leaning on the bedside reading a book. The lamp on the table was dimly lit, and the candlelight was like a bean, but it quietly illuminated every corner of the room.
But excluding Lan Che's corner, the girl sat silently on the chair and retracted her body into the cloak. She was looking at him quietly, as if looking at the moon, with no guilt in her eyes. There was no hostility, just looking at her innocently and calmly. But Bei Luan never knew that the person who injured him was beside him and was watching him all the time.
Bei Luan looked at it for a long time, and finally sleepiness came over her. She closed the book, stood up and lit the light, then closed her eyes and fell asleep. The girl had always been so peaceful, even after being injured, but after a while she began to breathe evenly. sounded.
Lan Che couldn't help but smile, and then did some quiet work there, and then stood up. When he pushed the door open and walked out, His Highness the Third Highness still didn't leave.
Lan Che looked at the other person, speaking to him for the first time in so long.
"Why?"
His Highness the Third Prince looked at her quietly, his red eyes like a lake filled with sunset.
"Feel sorry."
Lan Che couldn't help but bend down and laugh, a bit hysterically. Then he stretched out his hand to rub His Highness's hair, but he retracted his hand halfway.
Lan Che looked at the girl and said, "Goodbye."
His Highness the Third nodded.
Lan Che walked faster this time than when she came, and she finally stirred up a slight wind as she walked. She did not return to Yeta, nor did she try to follow the path she had taken in the environment to Lanlan City to see the answer that only existed in the illusion.
Instead, she headed towards the Scarlet Heart Gym's warehouse.
The girl in the gap in the world can easily come to any place in the world, and this is naturally one of them, so she soon found what she wanted to find.
The third of Ye Ye's three tests was handled by Feixin Gym this time, so naturally, the crystal ball used in this test was also kept by Feixin Gym.
Lan Che found the crystal ball that she and Xingze used during the day. There was still a faint palm print of her on it, just like the mist on the glass. If it was there or not, it could not be wiped off no matter what.
Lan Che took a breath quietly and then exhaled slowly.
She closed her hands gently where she had pressed them during the day and closed her eyes.
The world moved away from her at that moment. When she opened her eyes, Christie was standing in front of her, wearing a shiny white coat and short dark chestnut hair full of ripe fruit charm.
"Welcome back." Christie looked at her and said with a smile.
Lan Che stared at Christie's expression for a long time before sighing: "As expected of Alaya Shi."
"Thank you for the compliment." Christie accepted the praise calmly, and then said with a smile: "But you are smart enough to detect my hints, aren't you?"
Lan Che looked at the other party: "I just want to know, is the reason why the young master took me into that illusion is one of your transaction conditions?"
Christie nodded and shook his head with a gentle smile: "Yes and no."
"I have never reached an agreement with him on some details of the transaction, so he took the initiative to put forward a bonus condition, and then I agreed." Christie said: "To put it simply, the young master took the initiative to release Good intentions, and I chose to accept them.”
"Your existence is an important chess piece for Dark Star to make up for the loss of weapons. If it were not for someone like the Young Master, I would never have included you in the transaction conditions. What's more, you have completed your tasks very well these days. "
Lan Che remained silent.
Christie smiled: "When we met here during the day, I said that if I were the person you came to see me, I could also help you solve the problem and the charge would be much cheaper."
"But that is in the past after all."
"But you understood what I didn't say, otherwise you wouldn't be here."
"That means you can still come to me now, and I can still help you solve your problems, with the same low-cost and high-quality services."
Lan Che looked at Christie's almost flawless expression and said quietly, "I don't like it."
"We can't always do what we like. If we only rely on likes and dislikes, being next to my sister-in-law may be the most comfortable thing in the world, isn't it?"
"She wants to be a child for the rest of her life, but you can't be a child for the rest of your life with her."
Lan Che continued to remain silent.
I really don’t know how Ge Sheng got along with this monster. This kind of negotiation method of always being one step ahead of you makes people very uncomfortable.
Of course, when I thought about it, Christie would definitely not show mercy to her sister-in-law, and I couldn't help but feel a lot better.
"By the way." Christie said lightly: "Since this is my home court, I can ensure that the conversation between us is as strong as the Star Lord and cannot be spied on."
"But again, the vast majority of people I'm talking to here don't have any privacy whatsoever."
Christie thought for a while and added: "Of course, monsters like Xingze or Xi Che are another matter, but Lan Che, you are still a little far behind."
Lan Che smiled: "If I could be on par with them, I wouldn't be reduced to asking you for help today."
Christie did not smile: "You are wrong, you are not the one who needs help."
"But me."
"Although I am indeed very active now, when the day comes, I can't do anything. Those guys saw this clearly and dared to act recklessly in front of me. I am also very unhappy."
"There are a lot of people here that I like and care about, so I don't want to watch them die one by one, but after all, I am not the person who can personally end the game. I can only try to place as many chess pieces as possible in advance to make the situation slightly more favorable."
"Whether it is the agreement with Xiche or the deal with Xingze, if you are not careful when dealing with such terrifying monsters, even the bones will be eaten away. The so-called seeking the skin of a tiger is nothing more than this."
"It's precisely because of this that when Xingze offered you the bargaining chip, I made a decisive decision and agreed."
"On the one hand, I am selling my sister-in-law a favor, but on the other hand, I think you have realized it."
"When that day comes soon, you will be a key chip that can determine the outcome of both sides."
"I hope you can come back to our side, just like you always have."
"For this reason, I am willing to protect you."
Lan Che looked at Christie who suddenly spoke sincerely, unable to tell whether this was her true thoughts or just her acting skills.
This girl who keeps calling others monsters is actually an out-and-out monster herself. It's really shockingly ironic.
"I'm not happy." Lan Che said slowly.
She was very unhappy.
She never thought that the future world would be like this. All the futures she had ever thought about were completely cut off from the intersection by others, leaving her with thorny roads.
She never thought about carrying the weight of the world, but there was always someone who put the future of the world in her hands.
She just wanted to be that girl who could eat apricots and walk down the street. But when she reached the end, she saw a magnificent palace in front of her. She had to reach out and push it down, or turn around and follow the original path. return.
But when I looked back, I couldn't see clearly how it led to here.
"I hope you still believe in such childish and ridiculous things as friendship, family affection, family, and love." Christie said: "Although I know that such talk is really weak, only what we are willing to believe Only then do these emotions have their true power.”
"But fortunately, my sister-in-law has always believed in this and has been practicing it. The longer I am with her, the more I feel silly and cute."
Lan Che did not answer, but turned and left.
She walked away step by step, withdrawing from the world step by step. Christie was here looking at her, watching her leave motionlessly.
Lan Che finally walked out of that world and returned to the warehouse of Feixin Gym. She wrapped her cloak around her body and then slowly showed a vague smile.
At the top of the tower, Christie slowly moved her hands away from the crystal ball in front of her.
"Thank you." Someone said behind her.
Christie did not look back, but smiled: "She didn't promise me."
Ye Qing shook his head, then reached out and touched the key in his pocket.
The key that Lan Che handed back was still waiting for the owner's return in the wooden house of the Snow Burial Society, but Ye Qing also had the same key. After all, it was the membership certificate of the Friends Society at the end of summer. The person who left finally saw the light of return. .
"Thank you." Ye Qing repeated.
Christie helplessly raised her hands in surrender, then turned back to look at Ye Qing: "By the way, have you forgotten about Ge Sheng?"
Ye Qing shook his head: "If you can figure it out so quickly, do you think you still have a chance to win over love?"
Christie smiled: "In fact, there is, after all, I am older than you."
"It's amazing how big it is!" Ye Qing looked at Christie's chest fiercely, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"But I still chose the simplest solution." Her Royal Highness the Princess said: "I decided to participate in this Lanliu Tournament and free martial arts."
"If I remember correctly, you participated in the last session," Christie said.
"I didn't win the championship last time." Ye Qing corrected.
"As you said, our affairs are ultimately decided by him. If he is indecisive, he won't be able to tell in a hundred years."
"If I win this Lan Liu meeting, I will confess my love to him on the battlefield."
"What happens next has nothing to do with you and me."
Christie smiled slightly, like a swaying flower tree.
"Actually, sometimes it's nice to think about the two of us being together."
Seeing Ye Qing's deflated expression, Christie reached out and took out a box: "I'll give you a chance to compete fairly, so that you won't have to take one bite at a time because you were the one who came first."
"If you get what you want, then you can open this box and there is something very magical inside. Even I feel very magical."
"But remember, just like those ancient myths say, opening it early will cause some very bad consequences. Curiosity is always a woman's biggest enemy."
"Although I would be very happy if you did this."
Ye Qing nodded, stretched out his hand and solemnly took the small metal box, with simple and exquisite patterns on it.
