Chapter 208: Scene 33 (Inverted V) Starting tomorrow, we...
On the street across the wall, there are the laughter of young girls and boys, and occasionally the quarrels between children and their families. The passing vendors are always tirelessly selling their new and interesting things.
On the wall of the not-so-big courtyard, a few delicate flowers peek out, wrapped in new green leaves, and a faint fragrance wafts out.
Shi Jiyu held the little crow in her hands and gently stroked its soft body with her fingers. The feathers that had not yet grown pricked her hands.
"Miss He," Shi Jiyu looked at He Yuezhe and nodded slightly, "Thank you very much."
"..." He Yuezhe also looked at her, but his heart remained calm. "This is Awu's own choice."
She seemed to be unable to feel any emotions, whether it was sadness, pain, or...
"Really?" Shi Jiyu chuckled.
"Yeah." He Yuezhe nodded affirmatively.
"Then Awu really made a good choice." Shi Jiyu pushed the wheelchair. "Let's go, Miss He, back to my yard. Let's talk."
"Okay." He Yuezhe followed her.
The two went to Shi Jiyu's yard.
"Miss He, I'm very curious, will you treat me as your friend?" Shi Jiyu asked.
"Of course." He Yuezhe replied.
"Then, can you tell me the truth about this world? I don't want to be kept in the dark and just accept it blindly."
"What do you want to know?"
"Awu, must she die?"
"Not necessarily, so she didn't die."
"...Hmm. So, what is the end of this world? Or, Miss He, what is your purpose in coming here? What do you want to accomplish?"
"At first, it was for revenge."
"And what happened next?"
“…”
"It seems that even Miss He herself doesn't know the answer to this question."
“…”
"Then let me change the question. Miss He, how long will you stay here? Is there anything we can help you with?"
“Whoosh!”
An arrow suddenly shot from a certain direction, heading straight towards Shi Jiyu!
"Sizzle..."
He Yuezhe quickly grabbed the arrow and looked closely. Sure enough, there was a piece of cloth tied to the arrow shaft that she was very familiar with.
"Miss He?" Shi Jiyu heard the voice and turned around.
He Yuezhe looked in the direction the arrow came from, but only saw a black shadow quickly disappearing from the top of the wall.
It was her. She seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and came to push the progress forward.
She is really my good "sister"...
"Nothing," He Yuezhe waved the arrow in his hand towards Shi Jiyu and said, "I'm just delivering a letter."
"Oh, I see." Shi Jiyu nodded, "Miss He, are you not going to answer my question?"
"..." He Yuezhe put away the arrow and replied, "I will go look for a fairy statue later. Once I find it, I should be able to leave."
"Master Lian's?"
"Um."
"It seems I was right." Shi Jiyu laughed, "Miss He, I specially called Miss Tang and the others back. You can come with me. I have also prepared food and water for the journey, as well as money."
"...You know her."
"It's just a partnership. We have a common goal."
“…”
"Ms. He, I'm actually not interested in the truth of this world. I also know you won't tell me. I just want the people around me to be safe and happy, and you will undoubtedly bring disaster to them."
“…”
"Although it may be a bit hurtful to say this, Miss He, I will help you. As long as you can leave here as soon as possible and give us peace, I can help you with anything."
“…”
"Miss He, please don't tell Ji Huai about these things. She is innocent."
"……I see."
"——Boss, we're back!"
"I've told you many times, don't call me Boss, just call me Miss Shi."
"But you are our leader! Leader, this trip to Baiyujing has been quite a sight. Baiyujing, which used to be so prosperous, is now as ordinary as a small village. My jaw is about to drop!"
"Oh, right, Boss, before the war started, we took the opportunity to look for traces of our target in Baiyujing, but found nothing."
"Well, no problem. You don't need to carry out that mission anymore anyway."
"What, wait, why?!"
"Boss, you're not going to dismiss us, are you?!"
"Sister Tang, Brother Ban, calm down. Maybe the boss has another task for us..."
"Well, Xiaoshu has a point. You two should calm down."
"snort."
"Uh, hey."
"Okay, I do have another task for you. Let's go inside and talk."
"good!"
"good."
"Squeak."
"Boss, let me push you!"
"good."
"Boss, why has your wheelchair changed again?"
"I drew some patterns and dressed it up. Not bad, huh?"
"It looks great! Boss, it looks great!"
"Thank you, Xiaoshu."
"Boss, I've developed some new devices. Do you want to try them out?"
"Can."
“Boss!” “Boss.” “Boss…”
Pushing open the gate, several people came into Shi Jiyu's yard with a loud and noisy voice.
"Okay, okay, sit down first." Shi Jiyu rubbed his brows helplessly, pushed the wheelchair to the table, put the little crow on the table, and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Crow? Boss, when did you start raising birds?" Ban Weile, wearing a red scarf with the word "struggle" on his head, sat down and put his finger in front of the little crow. "It's asleep, it's quite cute."
"It does fit the boss's temperament." Tang Xiqin thought for a moment and said.
"Hey, boss, who is this person...?" Chen Shu was the first to notice He Yuezhe and asked curiously.
"This girl looks a bit like our target?" Yuan Yang also had a red scarf with the word "struggle" on his forehead. He squinted his eyes and said curiously.
"What?! Wait, Brother Yuan, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit similar!" Ban Weile shouted.
"..." Tang Xiqin looked at Ban Weile with disgust and moved in the opposite direction of him.
"Well, this girl is indeed your target..."
"What?!!!! She is really Shi Lian?!!!!"
"Ban Wei Le!! Can you please be quiet and listen to what I'm saying?!!"
“Ouch!!”
"But it was my mistake to treat her as our target before. Although Shi Lian is a member of the immortal sect and knows some immortal arts, she does not believe in the immortal sect. She only practices immortal arts to protect her companions. In this way, she is not our enemy."
Shi Jiyu sat upright in a wheelchair, a smile on his face as he said, "I've already discussed this with her in detail. I feel her ideas are very much in line with mine, so I consider her a close friend."
"It just so happens that my confidant is currently searching for a statue of an immortal. I'd like you to join her."
"But boss, didn't you say that she doesn't believe in immortals? Then why is she looking for the immortal statue?" Ban Weile asked.
"She is looking for her own immortal statue." Shi Jiyu replied.
"Looking for my own immortal statue, oh my god, oh my god, so awesome!!" Ban Weile's eyes sparkled.
"Brother Ban, can you please stop shaking me?" Yuan Yang's arm was grabbed by him and shaken back and forth.
"No, no, no, Brother Yuan, Miss Tang, and Xiao Shu, can you imagine that one day I, Ban Weile, will also become an immortal? At that time, people will build temples for me. No matter where you go, you will be able to see my ethereal and handsome statue. Wouldn't that be beautiful?!"
"When your young master Ban becomes an immortal, we will chase you to the ends of the earth. You can just dream about temples and immortal statues." Tang Xiqin laughed.
"Yes, pursuing immortality and immortality is not a good idea. Brother Ban, you'd better hone yourself more and strive to be able to solve everything on your own in the future." Yuan Yang also nodded and said.
"Well, what Brother Yuan said is indeed reasonable. I really should hone myself more!" Ban Weile said with a dignified manner, "Xiao Shu, Brother Yuan, Miss Tang, let me protect you from now on!"
"Hey, hey..." Chen Shu stepped back in fear. "Then do I not need to ask Brother Ban anymore..."
"Of course! But now, Miss Xiaoshu, Mr. Xiaoshu, Chief Xiaoshu! Xiaoban is still an outsider, so I can only beg you for food!"
"Alright, be quiet for a moment." Tang Xiqin looked at He Yuezhe and asked, "Miss, where is the immortal statue you are looking for?"
“…”
Looking at the banner that read [Come on, you'll have to find the last statue on your own—I'll always love you, my sister ^ ^], He Yuezhe was silent for a long time before finally saying, "I don't know either."
"Well, it seems this mission is not easy." Tang Xiqin held her chin and said seriously, "In that case, let's set off tomorrow."
"Just decide for yourselves," said Shi Jiyu.
Seeing that no one had any objection, He Yuezhe nodded and agreed.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk and you guys chat." Shi Jiyu pushed the wheelchair out the door.
"Okay, boss, take care!"
"Miss Shi Lian, my name is Tang Xiqin, nice to meet you."
"Well, you can just call me He Yuezhe."
"Okay, Miss He."
"Miss He, my name is Ban Weile! Hello! Starting tomorrow, we're partners!"
"A guy who's very familiar with people."
"Oh, um, okay."
"Hello, Miss He. My name is Chen Shu. You can call me Xiao Shu..."
"Okay, Xiaoshu, hello."
"I'm Yuan Yang, Miss He, nice to meet you."
"Well, nice to meet you."
"Miss He, even though we may not be very consistent at ordinary times, we will still deliver at the critical moment," Tang Xiqin said seriously, "so we won't hold you back, just rest assured."
"Of course, I believe you." He Yuezhe looked at her and nodded.
"Well, does Miss He have any idea about the location of the immortal statue?"
“No.”
"It's a bit difficult, but it doesn't matter. We prepared detailed maps of all the places on the way here," Tang Xiqin took out a large roll of paper from her cloth bag. "We'll go one by one and we'll find it!"
"Oh, isn't that a trip around the world!"
"Travel around the world..."
"That sounds interesting."
"Well, traveling around the world is a good idea," He Yuezhe said with a smile, looking at his old friend. "Even if we don't find the immortal statue right away, we can still explore different places."
"That's pretty good. Then, our first stop is—"
"Bai Yujing!"
"New Lion!"
"Pearl Harbor!"
