The two settled down beside a sandalwood incense table.
Yun Wei lifted the celadon pot on the table, scooped out some thin tea leaves with a silver spoon, and brewed a pot of fragrant tea.
Isaac found his extremely careful movements amusing and laughed, "Why are you being so cautious? Even if you break it, we can afford to pay for it."
Yun Wei glanced at him, pushed the teacup onto the table, and said, "You don't understand, these are all antiques."
He laughed as he said this.
Isaac, however, was somewhat puzzled.
In his view, the porcelain on the table, though crystal clear and elegant, was distinctly trendy and bold in style.
Seeing that Isaac was still puzzled, Yun Wei explained, "The era I lived in was almost two thousand years later than the current era of the Bili people... So, everything in Bili City is also very new to me."
Perhaps due to its encounter with a magical civilization, the development of Bili City took a completely different direction from Yun Wei's previous life.
Like an arc moving along the coordinate system of real numbers, it leaps into the realm of imaginary numbers to continue its progress.
Just as the horizon at the end of the ocean appears so straight to a looker on a ship's mast, it looks like a gentle edge from space.
Such distortions are no different to the Azure People within the coordinate system, but to those outside the frame of reference, the changes are clearly perceptible.
The past seems to have been frozen in time.
And now, they are as if they have stepped into a painting.
Isaac looked at Yun Wei tenderly, then smiled upon hearing this, "That's wonderful! Let's sneak out for a stroll in the streets later!"
He was extremely curious about the Jade City.
But if Yun Wei isn't in the mood, he naturally won't go out for a stroll alone.
Otherwise, wouldn't it just be like Yunwei said, wandering around "only leads to loneliness"?
“Sure,” Yun Wei nodded in agreement, seeing how interested Isaac was.
But in his heart he thought, "With your size, you'll attract attention wherever you go. Wherever the two of you go, it'll be the talk of the town tomorrow."
wrong.
It's not "maybe".
If the power of the abyss has already secretly infiltrated Bili City, their every move now may well be under the gaze of the abyss.
As the aroma of tea rose in the air, Yun Wei lowered his head and sipped his tea.
His expression was indistinct, only his thick eyelashes were vaguely visible.
The amber-colored tea soup was clear and bright, but when it went down my throat, it felt soothingly to my very core.
He put down his teacup, then changed the subject, looking directly at Isaac: "Was the contract that Qin Lushu mentioned earlier signed between the Temu Brown family and the ancestors of Bili City?"
This contract, which imprisoned the Azure People in a small space, seems somewhat laughable a thousand years later.
Admittedly, the Zhuyuan Continent has an owner, but the Wanli Mudflats do not.
He finally understood why the City of Jade meant everything to the people of Jade.
If the Four Swords lose the duel, they will be giving up more than just a city.
Rather, it is the spiritual pillar that has sustained us through thousands of years of arduous pioneering efforts.
It was also the only place I was promised a home after wandering for thousands of miles.
If they lose, all hope for the future will be lost, and all that awaits the Azure People is the endless, dark enslavement of the abyss.
Yun Wei thought that if the Bili people could break the shackles of the contract, even if they lost the Four Battles Sword Agreement, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
Yes, perhaps it's his personality, but he started thinking about his options from the very beginning.
As Isaac once said, all contracts have loopholes.
The caravans sent by Bili City, including Brother Xie who appeared in Yuehua City, must have also taken advantage of the loopholes in the contract from back then.
Isaac's smile faded, and he replied seriously, "I've been trying to think about it. But I have no recollection of it. Eight hundred years ago... according to Mr. Qin, the city of Bili was not as large as it is now."
"Sigh." Yun Wei couldn't help but sigh, "If it were signed by the Temu Browne family, that would be fine, at least there's room for negotiation. But if it were signed by the Starr family..."
Alch has already "flown" out.
They went to talk to the ghosts.
Oh, he is indeed a necromancer, but where is the Star family's mausoleum?
We can't possibly resurrect every single dead person on the continent of Zhuyuan and ask them one by one, "Are you from the Star family?"
He's not that crazy.
"Relax, Yun." Isaac squeezed Yun Wei's fingers, trying to comfort him. "Maybe things aren't as bad as you think. You should trust Xie Mulang."
The other party's callus was indeed too hard.
Yunwei's fingertips were very sensitive.
The subtle itch from his fingertips reached his heart, causing him to involuntarily curl his fingers.
He flicked Isaac's unruly finger with his finger.
The expression on the other person's face, a mixture of three parts grievance and seven parts bewilderment, pleased him.
“Indeed, I have great confidence in Brother Xie. But I may not have the same confidence in others,” Yun Wei said with a sigh. “As you can see, Bili Ren speaks very tactfully, but Brother Qin’s words just now made me feel uneasy.”
He didn't miss the slight, cold mockery in the other person's eyes when they mentioned Tianji Mansion.
He's an outsider, so he sees things more clearly.
The fact that Bilicheng was able to rise from the mudflats, where neither the sky nor the ground is possible, is inseparable from the concerted efforts of its ancestors.
In a time of life and death, the ancestors of Bili City united as one and built a high city from the ground.
A thousand years later, another time of life and death arrives. The descendants, who have enjoyed peace for so long, are now harboring treacherous undercurrents and their own hidden agendas.
Isaac didn't reply, but simply sat quietly beside him.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore." Yun Wei raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then stood up. "If Qin Lushu isn't worried, why should I be?"
He is already a seventh-level archmage.
If all else fails, then he should step forward and "uphold justice."
So what if I'm seen as a brute? In any case, the Continent of Zhuyuan is a world where strength speaks for itself.
Isaac stood up as well, and seeing the cold smile on his master's face, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to..."
Yun Wei nodded quietly.
Isaac suddenly laughed, and Yun Wei noticed that the other man's gaze was fixed on him, making him feel a little creeped out.
He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"
The words were on the tip of Yun Wei's tongue, but he didn't finish them.
Those involved are stubbornly marching towards the abyss, while outsiders who remain silent while observing the game are truly despicable.
Now that things have come to this, he can only act unreasonably and with a clear conscience.
However, Isaac suddenly leaned close to his ear.
The other person's voice was still pleasant to hear, but the words they spoke were very wet and cloying.
Isaac said, "That's right, Cloud. I think you're very handsome."
Yun Wei never imagined that he would one day be associated with the word "handsome".
The praise came from his beloved, whom he had been longing for day and night, which made him overjoyed.
"Hey! Isaac, how come you've become so glib..." Although he was secretly overjoyed, Yun Wei said it with utter disgust.
He took two steps away from the ramrod straight knight to dispel the burning heat in his heart.
“Oil, mouth, slippery, tongue,” Isaac repeated slowly and deliberately, his expression quite amused.
Is there anything Yun Wei doesn't understand?
"Pervert Issa," he cursed inwardly.
But he remained outwardly calm and changed the subject, "Alright, Issa, didn't you say you were going out for a stroll? Let me see if I can find a suitable hood..."
Isaac was so tall, and with that cool and handsome face, they would be the center of attention wherever they went.
Then there's no way to have fun.
He raised his hand, intending to search the space, but was suddenly pressed down on the back of his hand by the other person.
“No need, Cloud. I have a good idea.” His knight lowered his head and stared intently at him.
