The Nameless Saint (Part 3)
*
Somewhere in the city
"These enemies are really everywhere. Even I would get bored facing such endless guys who can't feel pain." The young man sighed softly.
"Something is not right." The white-haired general said, "Too many people died this time." He had also experienced the alienation wave decades ago and was keenly aware of the same thing.
"Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of now." Ye Jian just smiled: "General, I have to go back to the imperial city. I have been summoned and should leave tonight. I wish you good luck in military affairs." He looked at him with a smile.
"Be careful," the general said, "Maybe it's just my illusion... The Imperial City may be even less safe."
"It doesn't matter," Ye Jian smiled confidently, "After all, I'm the invincible one."
The Sword Master said goodbye to his old friend.
He never thought that this would be the last time they would see each other.
The gears of fate began to turn.
The teleportation array here cannot reach the imperial city directly, but his spiritual power has long surpassed that of ordinary people, and he has extraordinary abilities that others cannot match. When he arrived at the imperial city, it was still early morning.
The guards were patrolling the deserted streets. He stood on the top of the city tower, looking down, and saw only a superficial peace.
At this moment, Li Yuebai was woken up. From just now, the game system had been making continuous "ding ding" sounds, and he was woken up.
He got up impatiently and complained, "It's so annoying, really."
The angel came over silently and stroked his head with his hand.
His palms feel warm and comfortable to the touch.
There was an imperceptible tenderness in his pale pupils that made people feel calm.
Li Yuebai looked at him for a while before he calmed down and opened the system prompts.
[Key target detected arriving at the Imperial City.]
[The game Destiny is officially launched.]
[All card information will be updated soon.]
[The game system is being fully upgraded. It will take another 6 hours. Please wait patiently.]
[——Ten years until the mass extinction begins.]
After reading the message, Li Yuebai looked for the place to turn off the system notification sound with an expressionless face for a long time, but couldn't find it.
So he covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.

"The game may be postponed for a few days, but it shouldn't be long," he said leisurely.
"Every country has an unwritten rule. That is - any disturbance will not affect the students of the academy. Therefore, no matter what the situation is outside, the academy will maintain the final peace. After all, the youth are the last hope. But even so, the major families will let their heirs go out to be baptized."
"The Capet family also has such a tradition. And the one who greeted you before, the one from the Mori family with black hair. And including your roommates, the ancient red dragon bloodline - the Spencer family. I think you haven't seen them recently, right?"
Cedric was reading an unknown book. He turned a page while talking to him. "There may be some important battles these days, so the students in the academy have no intention of competing. After all, how can playing house in a greenhouse compare to a real battle?"
Li Yuebai asked curiously: "What about you? Aren't you from a big family too?" Forget about him, he is just an illegitimate child who no one cares about and he doesn't usually live at home.
He suspected that the game system deliberately gave him this identity with no sense of existence so that he could enjoy the game without any worries.
Although the face-slapping plot lines of "Don't bully the poor young man" and "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west" are also very interesting, he still prefers the brainless card drawing games.
Cedric was both amused and annoyed: "Look at me, I look so weak, am I fit to go to the battlefield? I went back home a few days ago, but they just wanted me to stay away from them, so it didn't matter where I went."
The bookshelf cast a shadow on his face, and his expression was in the dark, making it difficult to see clearly. Li Yuebai could only see the corners of his lips raised.
He always spoke calmly and leisurely: "After all, I only have a special, tiny ability, and I have no ability to protect myself on the battlefield."
I really believed your lies, Li Yuebai curled his lips and didn't believe it. He has always been a person who only trusts his own intuition and is not easily influenced by the words of others.
Li Yuebai said: "Anyway, the qualifiers are delayed, right? Then I'm going to go back and play games. I have an appointment with my online friends. See you later."
He waved to him nonchalantly, then walked away heartlessly, as if he was completely uninterested in what he said.
The young man who stayed put down the book, was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "No matter how hard you try, you can't see your destiny line, Yuebai."
Really interesting.
Li Yuebai returned to the dormitory, opened Star Network, and agreed with Fu Ge's netizen on the time to launch the new game.
He opened the door of the dormitory, but a hairy head suddenly popped out, and then someone patted his shoulder lightly.
Li Yuebai subconsciously looked up at people.
A slender young man who was half a head taller than him was looking at him with a smile: "Little Elvis - ah," he opened his eyes wide in surprise: "So it's not Elvis."
It's a bit... a bit fake.
Li Yuebai raised an eyebrow: "There's a big difference between his and my appearance, right? Is it easy to make a mistake?"
He seemed to be a frivolous and unreliable young man, but he apologized quickly: "Sorry, sorry, it's my fault! I thought Elvis was back. Are you his roommate?"
Ye Jian said casually: "I am a good friend of Elvis."
Li Yuebai nodded coldly and said, "Oh, then you move to the side a few steps."
Ye Jian: “?”
Li Yuebai: "Make way, I want to go back to the dormitory."
As expected, this guy Elvis can't make friends. It is even very difficult to find out about his current situation from his roommates, let alone solve his problems.
Although thinking this, the teacher, who is very responsible, still tried his best: "Did I scare you just now? I'm so sorry. It's almost lunch time. Can I treat you to a meal?"
Anyone want to treat me to a meal?
DNA moves!
Li Yuebai subconsciously stopped and said, "Okay, let's go."
His attitude changed so suddenly that even the Sword Master, who was extremely fast at drawing his sword, was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Okay."
Li Yuebai: "I'll choose the restaurant. I want to eat something expensive!"
Ye Jian touched his nose: "...Okay."
This rude look made him think of someone.
By the way, Tutu is also in the Imperial City, right? And is she also a student of the Academy?
Although she did not reveal her personal privacy, Ye Jian, who was very familiar with the Imperial City, still unconsciously deduced her location through various casual conversations.
Although he was a little curious, and it would be easy for him to find out her identity if he wanted to, he would not do so.
"What does he usually do in the dormitory?"
"Who knows? He's in the bedroom and I can't get in."
"Will he attend some of the college's activities?"
"Don't participate. I haven't seen him except in the dormitory."
"What do you think of his character?"
"Silly...quite murderous...uh, cooler, right?" It was a close call, I almost called out "sb".
Eat, eat, eat. He eats like crazy.
Li Yuebai ate contentedly at the expensive restaurant in the imperial city, while perfunctorily answering the census of suspicious people who came from nowhere.
Although he didn't know where this sucker came from, his attitude of spending money like water was very similar to that of his rich netizens. After all, most of the time, when he needed skill books and weapons, his rich netizens would often buy them for him.
Hmm, it seems that Xiao Li likes eating very much. Maybe I can bribe him with delicious and expensive things in the future?
Anyway, he doesn't have to pay for meals no matter where he eats in the imperial city.
Although Li Yuebai's answer was perfunctory, Ye Jian noticed something unusual: unlike other classmates, the handsome and lovely young man in front of him had no fear or disgust towards Elvis, and there was a suspicious casualness and familiarity in his words.
Ah, so suspicious.
It’s so suspicious, but let’s eat first. Xiao Li has almost finished his food. Doesn’t he feel full?
Ye Jian quickly took a piece of crystal cake from under Li Yuebai's chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
Facing classmate Xiao Li who glared at him, he narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly: "It's delicious."
Li Yuebai quickly picked up the next dish, and Ye Jian also grabbed the dish from him without any hesitation.
Well, anyway, when he was traveling as the Sword Master, he usually covered his face, so others couldn't tell that he was actually the elder.
So he can "bully" the classmates who have a close relationship with little Elvis without restraint!
Li Yuebai was actually a little full, but it was his first time in this restaurant, so he wanted to eat a little longer.
He sent a message to his online friend Fu Ge, but he probably won’t be able to reply after 20 minutes, so he might come online later.
Unexpectedly, just after he sent the message, the terminal of the young man opposite him started beeping, and then he lowered his head and started typing a message.
Li Yuebai received a reply very quickly, accompanied by a familiar reminder voice: "It's okay, Bunny, I'll be waiting for you anytime."
Li Yuebai replied: "Okay! Send out love.jpg"
He sent a message, accompanied by a beeping sound from the other end.
Li Yuebai: ...
They raised their heads at the same time and gave each other a strange look.
The young man's eyes subconsciously fell on his terminal, but Li Yuebai was holding it very far away and the screen went out very quickly (0.1 seconds), so he probably couldn't see anything.
Then they picked up the cutlery in tacit understanding and continued eating.
While fighting over a dish, he accidentally touched his finger.
Ye Jian had clearly tapped Li Yuebai's shoulder before and there was nothing unusual, but this time it was just a touch of his fingers, but it was like an electric current that made people shudder.
...This feeling seems to have never happened before.
It was like some unique inspiration that suddenly attacked my calm mind.
It is impossible to ignore or not care about it.
It was a fateful omen that struck the soul.
At that moment, he suddenly felt some unknown emotion.
The cynical smile on the sword master's face froze.
[System update has been completed. Players are requested to open the panel to view the updated content.]
[Initial contact with the card body detected, the card aura has been activated]
The moment he touched his hand, Li Yuebai just looked up at him.
He saw the stunned and surprised expression on the face of the frivolous guy opposite him, and then saw a scarred, ghostly figure gradually emerging behind him.
He seemed to have experienced a long and very brutal battle, so his body was covered with scars, and his black pupils revealed signals of extreme fatigue.
Unlike the guy in front of him who had no aura and was only concerned about snatching food from him, the ghost-like man was full of fascinating and extremely sharp aura. The moment he appeared, Li Yuebai felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, but this inexplicable aura was quickly restrained.
The ghost's face was exactly the same as the guy staring at him. He looked at Li Yuebai and gave the same brilliant smile.
Li Yuebai's brain was working frantically, but he naturally took another bite of rice.
"Why are you staring at me all of a sudden?" he said. "You've made me lose my appetite."
"Sorry, sorry," Ye Jian apologized subconsciously, "I just..."
The usually eloquent Sword Master seemed to be at a loss.
This special feeling... this strange emotion...
He...did he fall in love at first sight for the first time in history?
To Elvis' roommate...? Elvis's crush? Or... the bunny who likes to pretend?
The Sword Master stood up very unnaturally and said quickly: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Li Yuebai: ...
What a lame man, this is just the power of the game, don't think too much, okay?

Li Yuebai sat in his seat, calmly opened the game panel, and was the first to see the latest card information.
The character experience of [The Nameless Saint] changed from ??? to a paragraph:
[In the original destiny, when the first mass extinction came, Ye Jian, the strongest man at that time, threw his flesh and blood into the deep sea gate. He disappeared from the world and fought a long battle with unknown existence on the seabed, thus extending the mass extinction by ten years. During the ten years, countless young heroes emerged and threw themselves into the endless battle. But things are irreversible. Three years after Ye Jian's death, the Blue Continent still fell into destruction.]
[System mainline mission update: Prevent the Sword Master from falling into the deep sea. Reward: 30 gold obsidian.]
