Chapter 65: The Last Two Days

Jialan Academy.

Jia Tianyang couldn’t help but be surprised as he watched Hun Tian sneak back.

“Hun Tian? Is the matter resolved?”

Hun Tian ignored Jia Tianyang and anxiously ran towards a courtyard.

At this moment, Jia Tianyang was furious and shouted loudly, “Hun Tian! Did you not hear this Sect Master’s call?”

Hun Tian froze on the spot as if he had lost his senses. He stammered in reply.

“S-sorry, Sect Master Jia, I was deaf just now…”

Jia Tianyang’s gaze locked onto Hun Tian’s shifting eyes and his hand clutching the corner of his clothes, making him instantly realize that something was wrong.

“Hun Tian, so many of you went to Anjin City. Could there have been a problem?”

“N-no, it’s… it’s… but… but.”

Jia Tianyang’s face sank, and he questioned again, “Explain it to me clearly!”

Hun Tian’s expression became agitated. He knelt on the ground, his face covered in tears, and cried out.

“Sect Master Jia… it was the Green Luan Sect and the Beast Taming Sect. The two sect masters, Lei Mingde and Hui Liyi, came. I’m afraid Elder Tang… he… he…”

“So it’s you, Green Luan Sect! So it’s you, Beast Taming Sect! Do you really think my Jialan Academy is an ant to be slaughtered at will?”

Jia Tianyang’s expression hardened, and the anger on his body shot up to the sky, causing the surrounding temperature to rise by several degrees.

Just then, two figures landed outside Jialan Academy.

Hui Ziying and Lei Zhentian, the two juniors, came before Jia Tianyang. They bowed respectfully and handed him the memory stone.

“Dean Jia, we have already dealt with a demon for Jialan Academy!”

…

Night fell.

Xu Lingqing lay alone on the cold bed. Her heart suddenly quickened, and her right eyelid couldn’t help but twitch wildly. She had a feeling that something big was about to happen to her.

She exhaled a breath of cold air, which actually condensed into a layer of frost in the night. Her fingers lightly touched the frost, turning it into a mist that dampened her sideburns.

She took off the violet-gold hairpin, and her beautiful hair fell down in a cascade. After combing her hair, she inserted the violet-gold hairpin back into her sideburns.

At this moment, a faint empress-like aura emanated from Xu Lingqing’s eyes. She pouted and mumbled.

“Senior, Lingqing misses you so much…”

Hoo… ruru… hoo… ruru…

Beside her, the little beast Violet Lightning lay on the ground with its four feet in the air. Its round belly rose and fell with a hint of joy.

Xu Lingqing covered her mouth and chuckled, the coldness in her beautiful eyes lessening slightly.

“So cute~”

…

Chen Anping woke up from the pain. He lay flat on the bed, his arms and legs spread out in a large character, facing the sky.

He took a long, deep breath with all his might and then exhaled. He looked withered, his face sallow without a trace of blood.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

A mouthful of white and red blood came out. His pupils began to grow dim, and his eyebrows furrowed tightly. Looking in the mirror by the bed, he could clearly feel that he had lost a lot of weight.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, soaking the white bedsheets.

“Baby Lingqing, my time is running out…”

The last two days.

The sky was just beginning to brighten. Chen Anping changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the hotel.

He ate a bowl of Saozi noodles and walked alone on a small path in the park, breathing in the fresh air. His complexion visibly reddened a little.

He often saw Xu Lingqing looking up at the sky, so he also tilted his head up to look.

The sky of Tianhai City was still so beautiful, so beautiful that it made people linger and forget to return, so beautiful that it was dazzling…

Hmm?

Chen Anping was indeed dazzled. He seemed to vaguely see a flying saucer streaking across the distant sky. It was just that the flying saucer looked somewhat similar to the Violet-Gold Cymbal.

He rubbed his hazy eyes again and laughed at himself.

“Heh!”

“Why can’t I see my baby Lingqing?”

Immediately, he closed his eyes tightly, his mind filled with every little detail of Xu Lingqing.

Even though it had only been a short ten days, Chen Anping’s heart had been completely moved by her.

At this moment, his fear of death had long since vanished.

In its place, a familiar scent drifted over. As the scent entered his nostrils, the crisp sound of footsteps grew closer and closer.

“Anping, long time no see!”

The person who came was Li Tianrui. After being treated by Chen Anping, he was full of spirit, as if he had been given a second spring in life.

“Old Li, why did you come today?”

“Hehehe, I pass by here every morning. It’s just that I haven’t seen you here for several days.”

Chen Anping asked with a slight choke in his voice, “Old Li, what are you saying? Just give me a call next time.”

Next time?

Will I have a next time?

Chen Anping asked himself and put a big question mark in his mind.

Li Tianrui smiled slightly, “Is something on your mind?”

“No!”

Li Tianrui patted Chen Anping’s shoulder.

“You are still young. The road ahead is long. There’s no need to waste the time to come for a moment of unhappiness.”

Chen Anping thought for a moment and nodded vigorously.

“Old Li, do you believe that there is another world outside of Tianhai City?”

Li Tianrui was slightly stunned, “Hmm? Have you discovered something?”

“No, I just feel like I can see different things before I die. Perhaps it’s my illusion!”

…

Xu Lingqing woke up from her dream with a start.

Her eyes were empty, her heart was empty, her lips were black, and an invisible loneliness hung in her heart.

The feeling was as if she had foreseen that someone was about to leave her.

“Hoo…”

Xu Lingqing exhaled a cold breath and changed into a violet-gold long dress. She wiped the old, worn-out pipa.

This pipa had been with her since she was born. She had always believed it was a relic left to her by her parents. For so many years, even when she was injured, she would not let this pipa suffer the slightest grievance.

Hugging the pipa, Xu Lingqing felt as if a pair of warm hands were embracing her.

“Dad… Mom…”

A muffled, soft call came from her mouth, but she found that a handsome and delicate shadow appeared before her eyes.

“Senior… are you by Lingqing’s side?”

Xu Lingqing’s heart ached. She released the pipa and reinserted the hairpin into her swept-up sideburns.

Unconsciously, her hair gradually turned pale, and a faint coldness seemed to emanate from her fair skin.

Walking outside Anjin City, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if the clouds were already pressing down on her head.

Xu Lingqing frowned and looked south. With her naked eye, she could see a divine light that pierced the sky.

Suddenly, the wind and clouds in the four directions changed color, and rolling thunderclouds surged and gathered.

A light rose from the ground, and ten thousand rays of divine light spread out from it, almost enveloping the entire area.

A figure stood in the light. All the spiritual rhyme frantically converged towards him, as if he was about to break the shackles of this world and break through to that supreme realm.

Rumble…

Countless thunderclaps sounded, and the space seemed to be torn open by a huge gash, swallowing all the lightning.

At this moment, the sky of the Firo Continent began to change.
