It was as if the last layer of fig leaf had been lifted, and Wan Mi's face, which had lost all its color, was instantly filled with bright red.
Her lips trembled as she tried to explain herself, but Si Qingyun didn't give her the chance, or rather, he didn't care at all.
After saying this, he turned his head and continued walking forward.
Wan Mi stared at his back intently, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
Si Qingyun went straight back to the room where he had rested before, and saw Zhongli Qianqian, who seemed like a completely different person.
The twin ponytails were untied, and the long, smooth black hair slid down along the shoulders, and then was tied up on the top of the head into a bun with the girl's bare hands.
Zhongli Qianqian tied up all her scattered long hair in front of the mirror, and quickly applied makeup on her face. When she stood up, her little face was no longer as cute as before, but now looked charming and beautiful.
From Si Qingyun's perspective, he could just see the girl's side profile bent into an S shape, with a slender neck and delicate red lips. When she looked back, her eyes sparkled, and she was captivating and charming.
Si Qingyun's Adam's apple rolled and his throat felt dry.
Zhongli Qianqian also noticed his arrival and immediately smiled broadly at him. She swung her backpack over her shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm going out to play for a few days. You work hard to earn money."
Si Qingyun: “…”
He grabbed the girl's arm before she could run away, and said with a headache, "Don't tell me you really want to go and spar with Xie Xihe?"
Zhongli Qianqian blinked: "Is there a problem?"
Si Qingyun: "...Is it okay?"
Zhongli Qianqian looked at him with confusion, as if asking: What's the problem?
Si Qingyun was truly impressed by her and pointed out directly, "Don't listen to that Wan Mi's nonsense. She's just jealous of Xie Xihe and mad that the company signed an A agreement with Xie Xihe, so she wants you to help her deal with Xie Xihe."
Zhongli Qianqian: "I know."
Si Qingyun: "...you know this and you're still acting stupid?"
Zhongli Qianqian looked at him as if he was a fool, then casually took out her cell phone, which displayed the information she had just searched for.
Zhongli Qianqian shoved her phone in front of Si Qingyun and said, "She's the top scorer in the Kyoto exam. She can write gilded flying calligraphy, wield a sword, assemble guns, and write code. She's also good at playing the guqin, medicine, and Go."
"Wan Mi wants to use me as a pawn, that's her business, but she didn't lie to me. Xie Xihe is indeed very powerful, so is there any problem with me going to compete with her?"
"I do what I want to do. What does it have to do with whether she wants to use me as a tool?"
Si Qingyun: ...How come I think what she said makes some sense?
Zhongli Qianqian chuckled twice: "Don't worry, I was just curious and went to take a look. At most, I just wanted to test her skills. I won't conflict with anyone."
Si Qingyun: ...Isn't it considered a conflict if we've already tested our skills? Then does it count as a conflict only if we fight to the death?
Si Qingyun was completely convinced by her and couldn't stop her. He could only call his assistant to send over some essential items for her trip. He took this opportunity to ask her, "From what I heard, Xie Xihe left Kyoto half a month ago and her whereabouts are unknown. Where are you going to find her?"
Zhongli Qianqian shoved the phone in front of him again: "Antarctica."
Si Qingyun looked at the Seek background interface on the mobile phone screen and was speechless for a while.
In just a short time, she even found out this. It shows that she has made a great determination.
Si Qingyun cursed Wan Mi in his heart, but his mind quickly calculated and finally made a decision: "Wait a moment, I will go with you after I finish the things at hand."
Zhongli Qianqian quickly waved her hand: "Don't bother, I can go by myself. It's just Antarctica, it's not like I haven't been there before. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and won't lose a single hair."
Si Qingyun insisted: "This time is different from last time. The Abyss Realm is about to open."
"Also," Si Qingyun's expression faded, his brows heavy with seriousness. "If I'm not mistaken, Sheng Shijing should be there too."
Zhongli Qianqian's words of rejection were about to come out of her mouth, and her face wrinkled into a ball: "Ah, why did he run off there too?"
Si Qingyun had been getting a lot of news lately and had probably guessed the relationship between Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe, but he wasn't ready to tell Zhongli Qianqian at the moment. He just casually said, "The Abyss Realm has been opened, so isn't it normal for him to be there?"
Zhongli Qianqian was immediately speechless.
But her face became even more bitter. After careful consideration, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, then, hurry up."
A smile flashed across Si Qingyun's eyes. He gave her a few more instructions before turning around and going out to prepare.
Zhongli Qianqian grabbed the table with her head.
Alas, I thought I could take the opportunity to go out for some fresh air and live a quiet life without anyone bothering me for a few days, but I didn’t expect that it would be a failure in the end.
Why am I so unlucky?
It would be fine if only the Abyss was opened. Anywhere with water is her home turf. Not to mention the Abyss, even if a god came, he might not be able to do anything to her.
But Sheng Shijing... forget it.
Zhongli Qianqian's mind flashed back to the scene a few years ago when she had impulsively sought out Sheng Shijing for a sparring match, but was beaten so badly by the other party that even Si Qingyun could hardly recognize her. She shuddered suddenly.
Woo woo woo, this is so scary, the child is scared!
*
Xie Xihe, who was far away in the polar regions, had no idea that he was being targeted for no apparent reason.
After resting in the cave for ten days, Sheng Shijing's injuries were finally healed, and Duan Chengxian also recovered his strength.
And on this day, the polar region, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became lively.
There was a sound of earth-shaking, and countless pieces of rubble rolled down from the top of the mountain. Polar animals ran out of their nests, jumping around randomly, and howling one after another.
At the same time, groups of teams appeared in the center of the polar region from nowhere, all eagerly waiting.
Xie Xihe followed Sheng Shijing out of the cave and immediately saw the ancient martial arts team of the Xie family across an open space. His expression paused slightly.
As if sensing something, Xie Chujun turned his head and immediately looked into the girl's eyes that reflected the polar ice and snow, and his heart trembled violently.
Just as he was about to move forward, the ground beneath his feet shook violently again. The next moment, an aurora that seemed to have condensed all the brilliant colors in the world appeared at the end of the sky, and then suddenly fell down the next moment, breaking the endless darkness and illuminating the world before him.
The aurora falls and the abyss opens.
After fifteen years, the legendary Abyss leading to the end of the world has finally opened again.
The feeling of weightlessness came, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.
