Jiang Ziya had just taken a few steps when a figure turned into the night and quickly came in front of him.
Lin Qiye was wearing a crimson cloak, and he bowed with both hands, saying solemnly: "Junior Lin Qiye, I greet Master Jiang."
Jiang Ziya stopped.
He looked away from An Qingyu and towards Lin Qiye in front of him, with a complicated expression:
"No need to be polite."
"May I ask why you are here, Grandpa?"
“… Lin Qiye, why am I here? Can’t you guess?” Jiang Ziya did not answer, but sighed and asked Lin Qiye instead.
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, stood up straight, and slowly said:
"Tai Gong's transformation skills are really great. When we first met you that day, we didn't notice anything unusual... But I boldly guess that Tai Gong turned into a mortal and stayed in Shangjing University secretly. I'm afraid he was trying to monitor us?"
Jiang Ziya and Lin Qiye stared at each other for a long time, then shook their heads and said:
"I'll be frank with you. Today, An Qingyu wants to go back to the Heaven with me."
"Go back to heaven?" Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Ziya sighed, "Lin Qiye, it's not that I didn't tell you about this... I'm sure you've guessed that An Qingyu is special. After observing him for a while, I can determine that he is no longer suitable to stay in the human world, but I have no right to decide how to deal with him...
Everything depends on the will of the Heavenly Lord."
Lin Qiye stood there in a daze.
Jiang Ziya bypassed Lin Qiye and went straight towards An Qingyu. Before he could take a few steps, Lin Qiye blocked him again.
"Grandpa, can we go together?"
"… No." Jiang Ziya shook his head. "If it were a normal day, you could go to the Heavenly Palace anytime you wanted, but now is an extraordinary period and the matter is of great importance. The [Nightfall] team should avoid suspicion."
Jiang Ziya did not go around anymore, but flashed across the space and came in front of An Qingyu who was surrounded by many caregivers.
An Qingyu looked up at him. There was not much emotion on her pale face, only a hint of bitterness in her eyes.
"An Qingyu, follow me back to heaven." Jiang Ziya spoke slowly.
"I'll go with you!" Jiang Er floated out from underground, his voice came from the speakers, his eyes were extremely determined.
An Qingyu hesitated for a moment, pointed at Jiang Er and said:
"She has to go with me. If she stays away from me for too long, she will die."
Jiang Ziya stared at Jiang Er for a moment and nodded.
"good."
Jiang Ziya hooked his fingertips, and a black coffin broke out of the ground and floated beside An Qingyu. Then, he used the magic whip to draw in the void, and an illusory light and shadow portal appeared behind the two of them.
The door exuded a strong spatial fluctuation. Although the scene behind the door could not be seen clearly under the interlaced light and shadow, from the spiritual energy flowing out, it could be seen that behind the door was the Great Summer Palace.
Jiang Ziya, holding the divine whip in his hand, walked into the gate first. An Qingyu put his hands on the edge of the wheelchair, looking at Lin Qiye not far away with an extremely complicated expression.
Lin Qiye opened his mouth and was about to say something, but An Qingyu gently shook his head at him.
"Nanaye, don't worry about me. I'll be back once I figure out what's going on."
An Qingyu pushed the wheelchair and his figure disappeared into the door of light and shadow. Jiang Er's black coffin floated beside him and followed closely behind.
Lin Qiye stared blankly at the figure that disappeared through the door, countless thoughts flooding his mind. He gritted his teeth, and his body turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the door quickly!
However, just as he was about to touch the door, the light and shadow gradually faded in the air, and he ended up touching nothing.
The empty conference hall fell into silence again.
Lin Qiye stood blankly at the place where the door disappeared, the cold wind brushed his cheeks. For some reason, with the disappearance of An Qingyu, he always had a bad premonition in his heart...
"Qi Ye..." Cao Yuan walked forward, his brows full of confusion, "What happened? Why did Tai Gong take Qing Yu away?"
"Qingyu... I'm afraid it's related to the Ke system."
"Ke Xi?" Cao Yuan was stunned, then frowned, "You mean, he is a traitor? How is that possible?"
"Qing Yu is definitely not a traitor. There must be something hidden that we don't know..." Lin Qiye's brain was working rapidly. After a moment, a firm look appeared in his eyes.
"Cao Yuan, let's go."
"Where are you going?"
"To Heaven."
"Maybe the matter is not as serious as you think... Qingyu just saved the gods of Daxia not long ago. They will definitely not harm him. Maybe they will just take him over to ask some questions."
"I believe in Daxia God and Qingyu, but I always have a bad feeling about this matter... Maybe it has something to do with the scene I saw in hell at that time." Lin Qiye's mind flashed with the image of An Qingyu, wearing a gray robe and walking in the mist. He spoke in a deep voice,
"I will feel uneasy if I don't figure out Qingyu's situation. Since Jiang Taigong won't take us to heaven, we have to find a way to get there on our own."
Seeing this, Cao Yuan nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
Lin Qiye walked quickly toward the outside of the venue. Just as Cao Yuan was about to catch up, a voice came from behind him:
"Where are you going?"
Cao Yuan looked back and saw Lu Menglei's face full of worry.
"Don't worry, we're not going to any dangerous place." Cao Yuan walked up to her, gently stroked her head, and said, "I'm going to find my brother. When I come back, I'll go to the Kendo Club to find you."
After Cao Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned back again:
"By the way, I'll owe you that request for now, and wait for me to come back. Don't cheat me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yuan quickly followed Lin Qiye, holding the black box.
In the silent night, the slender lavender figure standing in the center of the venue gradually disappeared in Cao Yuan's afterglow.
"Actually, you can stay and accompany her." Lin Qiye said as he galloped, "It's just to the Heavenly Palace. I can do it alone."
"Didn't you say you had a bad feeling? Besides... it's not reasonable for the captain to go out on his own and let the team members stay behind to have a romantic relationship." Cao Yuan shook his head, "Qing Yu is also my brother, I can't just sit there and watch."
When Lin Qiye heard Cao Yuan say this, he did not try to persuade him further, but silently increased his speed to the maximum.
Under the dim starlight, Cao Yuan looked at Lin Qiye's anxious profile. After a moment of silence, he spoke again:
"Seven nights."
"What's wrong?"
Cao Yuan said slowly, "We are [Nightfall], you are our captain, no matter what you plan to do in the future, we will support you...
Even if one day you want to make the whole world your enemy, we will stand by you."
