Jun Weihe was stunned for a moment before realizing what she wanted and placed the imperial edict in her hands.
Lan Zhi said, "You didn't sleep very late last night, did you? Why are you here so early today? Aren't you sleepy?"
Jun Weihe said, "I went to verify the news of Prince Rui's death last night, and then went to the palace..."
Lan Zhi yawned again and said, "I was planning to tell you the news of Prince Rui's death in two days, but I didn't expect you to find out so quickly."
"Okay, go back to sleep." Jun Weihe was a little annoyed that he had not thought it through. He knew that Lan Zhi went to bed late last night, but he still came to disturb her so early today. It was really inappropriate.
"Well, I won't keep you for dinner today. You should go back and rest early..." Lan Zhi turned around, took a step, and stopped again. She turned back and asked, "Have you set a date for the wedding?"
Jun Weihe said, "The imperial edict didn't specify a specific date, it just said [choose a day for the wedding]. I think five days from now would be quite auspicious..."
"That... is fine. I'll tell my brothers." Lan Zhi nodded. The only regret she had was that her eldest brother was not around. Now that Prince Rui was dead, there was no need for her eldest brother to take risks outside. However, she did not leave any contact information before he left. Lan Zhi didn't know how to call him back, nor did she know if he was safe. Moreover, she was pregnant now. There were so many people in this vast sea of people. Where could she find him?
Wait, she can’t find it… maybe a stargazer can?
There is a ready-made stargazer living in the house.
Lan Zhi went to Shangguan Jianxing's yard. He was having breakfast and the table was full of food.
Lan Zhi asked in surprise: "How can you eat so much by yourself?"
Then he remembered that Shangguan Jianxing had been poisoned by a Gu, and his appetite had increased. Not to mention one table of food, he could even eat ten tables of food.
Lan Zhi continued, "I remember you said last time that eating spirit stones can also fill your stomach."
Shangguan Jianxing smiled and said, "It's too monotonous to always eat spirit stones. I want to change the taste occasionally... Have you eaten yet? Sit down and eat something together."
Lan Zhi sat down opposite him and said, "No, I have something I want to ask you for help."
"What's up?"
Lan Zhi said, "My eldest brother is missing, and I want to find his whereabouts."
"No problem, give me a piece of clothing worn by your eldest brother, or take me to his room." Shangguan Jianxing put down his chopsticks and stood up from the wheelchair.
Lan Zhi said, "Don't worry, eat first and then go after you finish eating, otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good."
Another reason is that Shangguan Jianxing is often blind. Lan Zhi is worried that when he uses astrology, he might accidentally follow the cause and effect of blood relationship and "observe the stars" from his elder brother to her. If he becomes blind again, how will he eat?
"Okay then, wait for me for a moment." Shangguan Jianxing ate very quickly, one chopstick after another, almost without chewing, and swallowed it directly. Lan Zhi had seen his eating speed before, and she was still very moved when she saw it now. She stared at Shangguan Jianxing. Shangguan Jianxing had been often stared at by people since he was a child because of his good looks. He had long been used to it and didn't feel embarrassed at all. He continued to eat as if no one was around.
Lan Zhi said, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but your skin seems to have become more delicate?"
After she finished speaking, she felt that it seemed a bit strange for her to say that men have delicate skin, so she waved her hand and said, "Just pretend I didn't say that."
Shangguan Jianxing swallowed the last bite of food and replied, "Your feeling is correct. I feel the same way... Not only that, I've actually grown taller, my vision and hearing have greatly improved, my body's flexibility has increased, and my wound healing speed has accelerated... The transparent Gu you gave me was really a good thing."
Lan Zhi said, "Stop talking. If you keep talking, I can't help but cultivate more poisonous insects to poison my brothers."
Shangguan Jianxing said, "Grow more of them. These poisonous insects are good for your health, and you grew them yourself, so you don't have to worry about them harming your brothers."
Lan Zhi shook her head, "The problem is that I eat too much..."
Shangguan Jianxing asked, "Are you afraid they'll bankrupt your family?"
Lan Zhi said: "No, I'm worried that they will be hungry in the middle of the night."
"When you're hungry, get up and eat, then go back to sleep. Always have some steamed buns and dry food with you. What's there to worry about?"
Lan Zhi did not respond, mainly because her two brothers were soul masters, and their souls left their bodies in the middle of the night. What if their bodies suddenly became hungry, but their souls were gone and their bodies became hungry?
Shangguan Jianxing stood up and said, "I'm done eating, let's go."
The two went to the room of the eldest brother Lan Tiao together. An ancient rune appeared in each of Shangguan Jianxing's pupils, and pictures quickly appeared in his eyes. He saw Lan Tiao walk into the "living city", saw Lan Tiao hiding everywhere after killing people, and finally entered a forest filled with green miasma, and saw Lan Tiao kneeling at the altar.
Atop the altar stood a white jade statue. Its eyes were inlaid with an unknown material, a tea-green base with a hazy, light gray hue. These green pupils gave the impression of being ready to burst into tears, as if pitying the suffering of the world...
Suddenly, the white statue noticed something, and its tea-green pupils emitted two green lights, reflecting into Shangguan Jianxing's eyes.
"hiss--"
Shangguan Jianxing gasped, covered his eyes, his face full of pain, and bright red blood seeped out from between his fingers, but the blood quickly turned into a thick green, which looked very strange.
"What's wrong with you?" Lan Zhi hurried forward and held his arm.
Shangguan Jianxing's body was shaky, and he murmured, "I regret not bringing the wheelchair..."
"There is a chair in the room. Please sit down first and I will get you a wheelchair." Lan Zhi helped him to the chair.
Shangguan Jianxing seemed a little dazed. He said, "I saw the Living City. It's part of the Abandoned City. Your brother killed someone there, then entered a forest filled with green miasma... Walking through the forest, there's a mountain with a statue on it... The statue has a pair of tea-green eyes... It glanced at me... I have a feeling I'm being watched..."
"Tea-green eyes?" Lan Zhi immediately thought of the ferocious beast Songhe, though Songhe was probably still in the secret realm. But she still asked, "What does the statue's face look like? Is it particularly beautiful? Is there a tea-green mole under the corner of its eye?"
"I don't know. The statue's features were shrouded in a pale green miasma, blurry and indistinct. I only remember those eyes... they were incredibly beautiful. When they looked at me, I instantly knew their name. They were the great Lord of All Evil, the immortal deity with compassion for all living things, the undying hope, the eternal light..."
