Chapter 339 Leaving the Tower - The Destined Savior
For the next forty-odd days, Yu Xunge kept an extremely low profile, not even bothering to cut the moonlight, and at most inquiring about the news of the traitor.
They discovered that only one organization remained outside, named "Kill Your Colleagues".
Yu Xunge & Tu Lan: ...
I really want to know who the leader of this organization is... It can't be Zhao Shuying, right? Hahaha.
The two, one human and one dragon, had been holding back for a long time, but Tu Lan finally couldn't take it anymore. Since she could return to her pet space at any time, after Yu Xun Ge told her that she had obtained a divinely bestowed talent skill that could save her life, Tu Lan flew to find this organization.
A few days later, she returned through the pet space, looking horrified: "It really seems to be Zhao Shuying."
Yu Xunge: ?
What does "seems like" mean?
Tu Lan took out a photo taken with her phone, pointed to the owl in the picture, and said, "I asked her who she was, and she said she was Zhao Shuying."
Yu Xunge leaned closer for a look and saw that the oak owl had a detached and natural smile on his face, exuding an aura of "emptiness of all things" and "I've come to terms with it"...
It looks just like that meme of someone wearing a cotton-padded coat, holding a lotus flower, smiling, and looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. It looks particularly kind and gentle, embodying a peaceful and serene attitude.
Yu Xunge was starting to worry about Zhao Shuying's mental state... Surely she hadn't been working for three hundred years.
Tu Lan shook her finger: "I asked her, and she said she's not that crazy. Apart from the organization she formed with you and Liang Yuchuan, she usually works 10 years out of every 40 years. She spends 40 years cultivating and 10 years gathering intelligence. She won't work a single day more."
Cultivation... cultivation has even come up in this context.
If I do the math, I've been working for at least 50 years.
Oh no, her secretary Zhao has gone mad.
Yu Xunge asked worriedly, "How many people are in that organization she's in now, called 'Kill Your Colleagues'?"
Tu Lan: "It's just her and Liang Yuchuan."
She took out her phone again and showed her a photo. This time, the owl in the photo didn't look so calm, but it looked very depressed... The owl, wearing skis, was sitting under a tree with its legs spread apart, shaving its nails with a dagger. The moment the photo was captured, it lazily looked up at the camera, with a "I've had enough of living" look on its face.
These are clearly the skis that Ryōyōkawa will need after getting used to them once he leaves the tower.
Yu Xunge exclaimed in surprise, "This is Liang Yuchuan?!"
Tu Lan put away her phone and started chattering about the gossip she'd heard: "She always draws pretty good identities, but every time she kills those with better identities than her for various reasons. Then her 'family owls' will step in to protect her from death, and she gets arrested and thrown in jail. Sometimes she manages to escape, sometimes she doesn't. She says she spends at least half her time in jail, in all the different cells of Peach, Maple, and Pine."
The identity of [Xin Cu] that Liang Yuchuan obtained back then was not simple. Although she did not belong to the three major forces of Feng, Tao, and Song, the Oak Owl of the Xin lineage was also a large family and was the first family to follow Song Gui.
He's been in prison for over 150 years!
However, she didn't think Liang Yuchuan's time was being wasted. She remembered that there were actually quite a few experts in the prison. Feng Mu and Feng Tang had even discussed whether to let them out to redeem themselves, but Feng Cang said that these Oak Owls were all unstable factors and wouldn't obey orders. Moreover, their identities were not simple, so it was better to keep them locked up and let their families use their merits to redeem them when the situation stabilized.
Given Liang Yuchuan's personality—provoking wherever she goes—she's never idle.
Tu Lan hugged Yu Xunge's head tightly and said with relief, "Thank goodness you're not crazy."
Yu Xunge: "..."
Tu Lan asked doubtfully, "You know, in those cultivation novels, people often seclude themselves in one place for decades or even centuries without communicating with anyone. How do they manage that? If a modern person transmigrates there, can they live a life where they can't use a phone or play games?"
Yu Xunge casually replied, "Maybe it's because I'm slacking off in there that it takes decades. The actual time spent on breaking through might only be a few days. When I'm done playing and look at the time, I'll think, 'Oh my god, I've been in seclusion for a hundred years! I can't delay any longer. My disciple is almost dead from old age. I have to break through."
Tulan was amused by her and rolled around in her arms.
That's what she said, but now she understands that feeling a bit. Once you set a goal for yourself, you feel like time flies by, just like high school, which goes by in a flash. She set a goal for herself to make a 95-point dish, and by the time she achieved it, half the days had already passed.
The forty-odd days before leaving the tower were probably even more difficult than the previous two hundred years. Yu Xunge practically counted the days, and every morning after getting up, he would make a vertical line on the wooden wall next to his bed.
Oak Owl, who slept in the bed next to her, looked at her with increasingly strange eyes, and finally couldn't help but muster up the courage to ask her if she had just been released from prison.
Yu Xunge stared at her for a while, and finally sighed with a look of vicissitude: "I have many stories. Give me a skill book, and I will tell you them."
The oak owl: "Get lost!!!"
When the day finally came for her to leave the tower, Yu Xunge was actually a little nervous. She told Tu Lan to go back to her space first and not to come out unless she called her.
When the time on the "Master of Slacking Off" finally reached 300 years, Yu Xunge truly felt like he had been released from prison.
There was a slight difference between when she entered the tower and when she came out. It was as if she had stepped naked into a hot spring in winter. The warmth that came from the depths of her soul made her realize just how cold she had been, and she hadn't even noticed it before.
She slowly felt her body and her power. She had the illusion of entering a temple and finding peace of mind and body. Then a bell rang, and her soul was shaken.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the sky of Polar Night City, and the war song was already ringing in her ears—a war song she had heard countless times on the Oak Owl battlefield.
She looked around and saw that tens of thousands of oak owls had gathered there. Opposite her was an "Owl King" who was smiling and watching her, and next to that "Owl King" was another oak owl—Feng Cang?!
Feng Cang's eyes swept over the pile of... this pile of furry wind sickles, searching for something.
Yu Xunge immediately looked at the [Unpredictable Fate] at the top of the tower, only to find that all the Moon Sand had disappeared. This discovery made her overjoyed. This was the best outcome. All the Moon Sand had fallen into her hands, and the mission on Blue Star had been completed. However, she wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the moon above Polar Night City was not as bright as before.
Only then did she have the mind to look around. 1, 2, 3... 6, there were only 6 wind sickles.
Six meerkats floated in the air, and moonlight fell on everyone. Although they did not use their flying abilities, everyone was "flying".
She and S team were the last to enter the tower. This should be the place where all the people who came out of the tower came out. There were 51 people who came in, but only 6 came out?
Before she could figure out who those wind sickles belonged to, a notification sounded in her ear.
