"On June 7, the Minister of Education visited the Junior College Association and gave guidance. He emphasized four principles of work, especially for the primary education of "outsiders", which should be implemented in a practical and detailed manner..."
Celis was writing these dull manuscripts with lifeless eyes, while the team leader Sissi beside her was also writing furiously, very busy.
After the previous incident at the ruins of the ground tower, both Celis and Sissi were transferred to the news department, which was considered a stable job.
Although Celis felt that this iron rice bowl was very uncomfortable... everything written was something she didn't like.
Especially three months ago, when several planets inexplicably appeared above the airspace and a large number of visitors from other worlds appeared, not to mention the News Department, the entire High Tower Civilization has not had a moment of leisure.
If Ling Ling had not appeared in time, the Tower Civilization would have already brought several war fortresses to prepare for the battle.
Then the two worlds began to gradually merge. Although the immortal cultivators were powerful, due to the thin spiritual energy in this world, the saints could only save their energy as much as possible in this world and rarely experience the life of mortals.
After Luo Huaxin came here, she started to play badly. Feng Zun and Huang Zun were also missing. Only Ling Ling, Su Yiyao, Bai Zhanying and others were busy trying to integrate the two worlds.
All the cultivators in the universe know very well that after leaving their original world, they are like rootless wandering duckweed, and can only live with their tails between their legs in this strange world.
In addition, they could also sense that the evil demons from outside the domain that they feared the most came from this world, so they did not dare to act recklessly, and therefore no trouble occurred.
Not to mention the post-apocalyptic world, Ling Ling's prestige just reached its peak some time ago. No one will object to anything he says, or no one dares to object.
"Ding-ling-ling..."
At this moment, a quick ring rang. Celis picked up the communicator feebly and answered it.
"Sister Ling..."
"Why do you sound half dead?"
"Nothing... just..."
"Haha, it seems like you're very busy at work. Am I disturbing you?"
"Woo woo, Sister Ling, I don't want to work anymore, you should continue to support me..."
"That won't do. What about your dream?"
"No Liao..."
"Haha," Ling Ling's voice became more serious after a mocking laugh, "Come back for dinner tonight. Your sister Su is back."
"Wow, she's back!"
Celis instantly became more energetic, and even her body straightened up a lot.
"Look at you like this, I'm going to be jealous." Lingling smiled, "Just remember to come back."
"Um!"
Celis immediately perked up, and after hanging up the phone, she began writing furiously with great enthusiasm.
... ...
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, the smile on Lingling's face gradually faded, and finally she sighed softly.
She looked up out the window. Not far away in the sky were a few broken planets hanging low. They were all fragments of another world that had escaped.
Three months ago, all those who were still waiting for the outcome of the final battle appeared in this world after an inexplicable storm.
When the remnants of the world were still wondering what had happened, Ling Ling and Su Yiyao were the first to react and realized where they had come to.
Because the post-apocalyptic world is very familiar to them.
This also means that it was Sister Xueer who sent them to this world. Although I don’t know how Sister Xueer did it, the only thing that is certain is... Sister Xueer must have made such a choice because she didn’t want them to fall into danger with her.
Even though Ling Ling and the others had wandered in deep space for more than three hundred years and had wasted some time in the great universe, due to the disordered flow of time, only a few days had passed in the post-apocalyptic world, and even Celis did not realize that Ling Ling and the others had left this world.
The work of integrating the two civilizations in the next two worlds is quite busy and Ling Ling cannot get away, but she is also concerned about Luo Xue's situation.
The same went for Su Yiyao, so the two of them agreed to let Ling Ling plan the affairs of the two worlds with peace of mind, while Su Yiyao would go into deep space to try to find Luo Xue's trace, or a way to go back.
After searching for three months, there was still no information.
However, before they knew it, the two of them were no longer as confrontational as they were at the beginning, and the relationship between them had become much more peaceful.
After all, they are all fellow people who have been let down by the unfaithful sister, so they sympathize with each other.
After a while, a petite figure pushed the door open outside the cottage. There was a cold indifference in her familiar and beautiful face. No matter how many times Ling Ling had seen her, she would be amazed.
"Xiaoyao..."
Before Ling Ling could ask, Su Yiyao shook her head and said calmly,
"No, there is no breath at all."
"I see."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Lingling's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
She had experienced such days for three thousand years and had become accustomed to them.
... What a sad hope.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Lingling asked.
Su Yiyao was originally a cultivator who practiced fasting, but during this period of time she unknowingly developed the habit of eating three meals a day.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ah Ling, what did you and Ah Chou eat when you were little?"
"Sometimes it's wild vegetables, sometimes it's wild animals, let's see what we can get." Ling Ling replied, she looked at Su Yiyao and asked in surprise, "Do you want to try?"
Su Yiyao nodded.
During these three months, Lingling had had several heart-to-heart talks with her. They shared each other's pasts with Luo Xue and gradually developed a resonance.
Lingling knew about the unforgettable and thrilling experiences that Su Yiyao and Luo Xue had had. Su Yiyao also understood the friendship between Lingling and Luo Xue since childhood. They finally understood each other, and therefore became more determined to wait for Luo Xue.
"This is not easy. The ground tower project is halfway done, and most of the wasteland has been reclaimed. There are not many wild vegetables and beasts left." Ling Ling smiled, with some memories flashing in her eyes, "But... there is still one place."
This was the gathering place of barbarians where she and her sister Xueer once lived. For some unknown reason, Lingling avoided this place in the planning of all the ground towers.
Perhaps, she was afraid that she would lose her memories with Sister Xueer.
"I see."
As soon as Su Yiyao saw Ling Ling's eyes, she knew where she was referring to.
"It seems that I have to disappoint little Celis today." Lingling's mouth curled up slightly with a smile.
... ...
"The wild vegetables here can only be harvested after the snow thins out. There is a place in front where you can dig deep for wild vegetables... Haha, I was responsible for digging wild vegetables back then. Sister Xueer led the team to go hunting. I was clumsy and couldn't keep up."
In an old and dilapidated camp, two beautiful figures were walking side by side. Ling Ling could tell some stories wherever they passed by. Su Yiyao pricked up her ears and listened, with unspeakable envy flashing in her eyes.
When she was with Ah Chou, it seemed like they always encountered a lot of dangers... and never had the time to enjoy these ordinary and happy days.
Thinking of this, Su Yiyao felt a little depressed again.
"What if..." At this moment, Ling Ling's voice suddenly sounded, "What if Sister Xue'er never comes back... What should I do?"
Su Yiyao froze when she heard that. When she raised her head, she saw that Ling Li, who was always calm and composed in the past, was actually sobbing slightly.
"We'll just wait for her."
"What if I can't wait any longer?"
"Then let's go find her," Su Yiyao clenched her fists, "No matter where in the world, no matter which world... we will definitely find her! Find this big liar who loves to lie!"
Lingling stared at Su Yiyao's serious face and burst out laughing.
Before Su Yiyao could respond with a blushing face, Ling Ling raised her head and said loudly,
"That's right, we must settle accounts with this guy who abandoned his wife and daughter!"
"Unfaithful woman!"
"Forget the mistress!"
"A scumbag who can only say nice things to coax people!"
"The sea queen who flirts with other women everywhere!"
"... ..."
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and they even stood up, pointed to the sky and poured out all their resentment.
Just as they were getting excited, a weak voice sounded behind them with a helpless tone.
"... Stop scolding me, I'm not as bad as you say, am I?"
Hearing this familiar voice, the two of them froze and turned around stiffly.
I saw a petite silver-white figure standing not far away, still looking the same as when we parted, the only difference might be the expression of helpless eyes.
"Xue'er... Sister?"
"Ah Chou!"
Su Yiyao and Ling Ling exclaimed, they looked at Luo Xue in disbelief, because they didn't sense any aura from Luo Xue.
Could this be false
"It's me."
Luo Xue knew what they were thinking. There was certainly a reason why she had no breath now.
But it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that she is back.
Not returning to this world, but returning to them.
"Long time no see - maybe for you, it's not that long." Luo Xue stood there, the vicissitudes in her eyes meant that the years she had spent were immeasurable.
She opened her mouth, wanting to pour out all her thoughts, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she just whispered, "I... miss you guys very much, very much."
No matter the countless years wasted, or the sinking and struggle within the absolute rules, Luo Xue never regretted it.
Even in the worst possible ending, she still found the last glimmer of hope.
—Just for this reunion at this moment.
That's enough.
