On the way to the City of Polar Day, Song Gui kept replaying the divine talent words of Mist Blade, as well as the conversation between Zai Jiu Xun Ge and Mist Blade.
She knew just as much as Yu Xunge, but her understanding of the Fog Blade and the term itself was not as extensive as Yu Xunge's.
Yu Xunge was also thinking about all the conversations today, but what she was thinking about was how to persuade Maple Sugar to participate in this matter at the lowest cost—to comprehend the divine talent word.
"four seasons".
When past atrocities become a hope for life to continue.
Can the oak owl find the feeling it once had when it stood atop the clover tree, overlooking the sea of trees and waves?
When Yu Xunge and Song Gui arrived at the entrance of the Owl Emperor's Palace in Polar Day City, it was only 9 a.m.
After the bell rang, everyone seemed to be speaking and acting at three times the speed. Without waiting for an announcement, Yu Xunge followed Song Gui directly into the room, having already contacted Maple Sugar through the game before setting off.
"It's a deal, once we reach an agreement, you have to help me train."
"You promised... I may often flatter people, but I rarely lie, right?"
The two walked and talked. Song Gui wasn't disbelieving the idea of going out for drinks and songs, but she was mainly worried that the other party was playing word games.
So, unusually uncertain, she pressed further, "Are you sure? You have so much to do, do you have the time?"
Yu Xunge had to briefly explain one of her skills to Song Gui. She held a gold coin between her fingers and waved it in front of Song Gui's eyes. Watching the owl's eyes follow the gold coin from side to side, she smiled and said, "I'm sure."
But the next second, before she could even put away the gold coins in her hand, she turned her head to look ahead and sensed that an acquaintance had entered her golden rain curtain. To be precise, the other person had not moved at all, standing in place waiting for the golden rain curtain to fall.
The fiery wings swayed gently in the wind, and her long, wavy black hair seemed to hold beautiful eyes that were forever burning with ambition and discontent.
Su Yitong, dressed in full armor, stood not far in front of her, quietly watching her.
So much time has passed; she must have already figured out what she should and shouldn't have figured out.
But the look in her eyes as she looked at him now contained no hatred or resentment, only curiosity and nostalgia. There was even a smile on her face that looked like happiness, a smile that was clearly not for him.
Yu Xunge did not stop walking; she maintained her pace and quickly walked inside.
She couldn't help but keep looking at Su Yitong, since Su Yitong was looking at her.
The two looked close to each other, then simultaneously looked away as they brushed past each other.
Song Gui watched with a smile the whole time, until the sunlight falling on her was blocked by the eaves made of clover, and until Su Yitong continued to walk away in the distance, she asked softly, "I thought you would talk to each other."
Yu Xunge shook his head: "Silence is the best outcome."
Song Gui led Yu Xunge up the spiral staircase of the tree tower and said, "You always like to say things that will just slip through your fingers after you hear them."
Yu Xunge gave Song Gui a disdainful look: "...That's because your brain is too slippery."
Song Gui understood the look in his eyes. After stepping over a few steps, she suddenly realized: "Ah... have I been fooled by Tu Lan again? What she meant by saying that is that I think what you said is very profound."
Yu Xunge: "..."
She frowned and looked up along the middle of the staircase, only to see a dizzying array of stairs. She couldn't help but wonder, "Why can't we just fly up from the outside?"
Song Gui smiled and said, "This is what Maple Syrup meant. She said if you want her to make cookies for you, just go up the stairs. This is your way of showing your sincerity."
Yu Xunge's response was not to leave in a huff, but rather to stop walking slowly with Song Gui and rush straight up to her.
Song Gui smiled and didn't follow. Instead, she stopped by the window, crossed her arms, and leaned against the windowsill, gazing down at the city of polar day.
The smile on his face faded until it turned into melancholy.
