My Exes Are Everywhere

Chapter 4: Heavenly Palace

Views:

Although Jiang Weiqing just had a sword qi in his hand, and didn't even draw the sword, but the sword qi was extremely fierce, rushing towards his face with an unstoppable meaning! Qiao Xuan concentrated all his energy, but it was not easy to block it, but Jiang Weiqing didn't give up on it, and even tried to test him with true energy!

Good guy!

If I don't know you well enough, and I have prepared for it, I will definitely fall here today!

Qiao Xuan was slandering in his heart, but his face showed a look of uneasiness, and he said in a daze: "Wan, what did this junior do wrong..."

Jiang Weiqing squeezed his wrist tightly, staring down at Qiao Xuan's face.

The young man was handsome and handsome, but at the moment he looked helpless and flustered, he stared at himself in a daze, not daring to move, his rosy lips were slightly pursed, a little aggrieved and a little dazed.

It seems that there is no problem.

After a while, Jiang Weiqing let go of his hand, and said in a gentle tone: "The sword moves are proficient, the true energy is unobstructed, and the basic skills are good, but the sword energy is not condensed enough, otherwise, you can resist the last move more easily."

Hehe, he really looks like he cares about his juniors.

Qiao Xuan showed gratitude, and said, "Thank you Jianjun for your guidance."

Jiang Weiqing nodded: "During this period of time, you can come to ask me for advice at any time."

Seeing Jiang Weiqing turn around, Qiao Xuan finally let go of his worries.

He looked at Jiang Weiqing's back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, now that the enemy is clear and we are dark, I don't believe that I can still be tempted out by you.

Anyway, I have been a Taoist couple with you for a lifetime, so I have to learn to think carefully, right? However, the most important thing to be able to successfully pass the test today is because of the exercises taught by the master, because he not only derived the true energy of Guiyuan Sword Sect, but also forged a fake sword pill at the dantian!

Being able to hide from Jiang Weiqing's temptation, it can be seen that it is enough to confuse the real with the fake... At this time, the fake is also the real and the fake, who can say that this is not the sword pill

This technique is so miraculous that it can imitate any kind of true energy and spiritual power in the world.

I don't know what the identity of the master is. Remembering that he blocked the catastrophe for him back then, he looked very relaxed. He must be a very powerful boss...

Just now that Jiang Weiqing passed the test, no one doubted Qiao Xuan anymore.

Qiao Xuan followed his disciples forward, although he got past this time, he still had a lot of dreams in the night, Guiyuan Sword Sect couldn't wait any longer.

When I go to Yunhai Tiangong, I should find the map of mountains and seas as soon as possible, and go to the world to be free!

As for what Jiang Weiqing said just now, Qiao Xuan didn't take it to heart, so it was impossible for him to ask Jiang Weiqing for advice again! One time was a fluke, and if you come a few more times, it will definitely reveal your truth, but Wu Zimo and other Guiyuan Sword Sect disciples are all very envious.

Wu Zimo came over, looked up and down at Qiao Xuan, and said in a complicated tone of envy, "It's the first time I've seen Lord Jian support the younger generation like this."

Qiao Xuan smiled slightly: "That's because he only has me as a junior."

Although that guy looks awesome, he is the only disciple of Guiyuan Sword Sect who has ascended in the millennium, except for himself, who is a fake ascension, and there is indeed no one younger than him hahahahaha!

Wu Zimo shook his head again and again, and said seriously to Qiao: "We are respected by the strong in the heavens, and the Sword Lord is the God, so naturally he is our senior! I don't care about you, but don't go out and say such things, be careful to provoke right and wrong... "

Qiao Xuan nodded, he understood! This is to make myself careful not to offend Jiang Weiqing's fans.

Wu Zimo also seems to admire Jiang Weiqing quite a lot. He didn't expect him to be a fan of rationality. He is not only stupid but also kind-hearted. He is really a good person.

"Thank you brother for reminding me, I will remember." Qiao Xuan said seriously.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of Tiangong.

Qiao Xuan raised his head and squinted his eyes. The Immortal Palace stands in the sky. The white jade gate is hundreds of meters high. However, now that I am on the scene, I feel even more shocked!

At this moment, the gathering of immortals is even more grand than ever.

Qiao Xuan was a little engrossed, and fell behind the team. Wu Zimo walked side by side with his sword, also looking very emotional, gossiping with Qiao Xuan excitedly while flying.

"Did you see those monks?" Wu Zimo said: "They are the venerables of the West Pole Buddhism, and the people of the West Pole Buddhism are always aloof. I didn't expect to come here too. It seems that the Emperor's face is big... I heard They recently got a pure Buddha son, and the whole Buddhist gate is being offered as a treasure. It's a pity that the Buddha son didn't come together today, otherwise we can see his dignity... "

Qiao Xuan looked at the few monks in front, wearing gray and white cassocks, all of them looked dignified. They were all living Bodhisattvas. Qiao Xuan was in awe.

Wu Zimo turned his head to look, poked Qiao Xuan again and said, "Look over there, those are demons from the Glazed Light Palace, and the woman at the head is Palace Mistress Mi Yun, who is a master who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years. God, the main body is the seven-colored glazed feather divine bird, and the demons and immortals of their Glazed Light Palace are all cultivated from flowers, birds, and beasts, and they are also a unique school in our heaven... "

Qiao Xuan took a look and saw a group of handsome men and beauties. Some were dressed in peach clothes, and some wore plumes. They were very fairy-like, and they could guess the species by looking at their clothes.

The leader is a bright and beautiful woman, although she has a stunning appearance and natural charm, but she is not at all vulgar, beautiful and arrogant.

The group of them laughed and whispered to each other. Although they were a group of demons, the other immortals treated them like the same kind, and greeted them politely when they met... It seems that this group of demons also know that it is only when they are in a group. It is the greatest strength! Wouldn't it be better to be a free and easy way of life than to be a spirit beast for other gods

If I had known that there was such a demon sect in the heavens, I wouldn't have pretended to be a disciple of Guiyuan Sword Sect, what a mistake...

"The ones who just passed were Beichen Xingjun and Siyu Xingjun from the Hall of Stars. It is said that Beichen Xingjun and Hualan Emperor have been friends for many years, and they like to join in the fun the most. It is not surprising that he is here..." Wu Zimo walked left and right along the way Looking around, he said: "The group of Taoist priests are all disciples of the Chongming Taoist sect. The Chongming Taoist also came here in person today..."

Qiao Xuan was amazed when he heard the words, not because of Dijun's charisma, but because of how many people Wu Zimo knew, it was like a walking encyclopedia!

The most important thing is that he can still speak like this, Qiao Xuan followed him for such a short distance, and almost recognized half of the heaven...

Jiang Weiqing had already arrived at the gate of the Tiangong in front of him, and suddenly a stream of light flashed across the sky, and when the stars were extinguished, a woman in purple appeared at the gate of the Tiangong.

Because Qiao Xuan was far behind, she couldn't see the woman's face clearly, and only saw a silhouette from a distance, but even a mere silhouette, among the immortals, was still impressive...

The woman stood beside Jiang Weiqing, smiled lightly, as if she had said something to Jiang Weiqing, and then they stepped into the gate of Tiangong hand in hand.

Wu Zimo stopped in his tracks, looked infatuatedly, and said in an envious tone: "Goddess Ruohua is here too..."

The name is a bit familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere...

Wu Zimo and You Rongyan said: "To be favored by the Goddess, Sword Lord is indeed the youngest and most promising God!"

Qiao Xuan finally remembered where he had heard it before. He had heard gossip from the disciples of the Guiyuan Sword Sect before, saying that even the most beautiful woman in the heaven, the Goddess Ruohua, admired their sword lords. They were all proud as if they liked them. …

Tsk tsk, Jiang Weiqing was very popular when he was in East Chongzhou. There are not many female cultivators who admired Jiang Weiqing, but at that time Jiang Weiqing protected himself very well, handled things very properly, and never had a rival in love. Qiao Xuan danced in front of him, so he didn't need to care about these things... In that life until his death, Jiang Weiqing was an unmistakable Taoist partner.

It's a pity that lovers cannot get married, and there is a gap between heaven and man between them.

But Jiang Weiqing chose to kill himself.

Recalling the scene where Goddess Ruohua and Jiang Weiqing entered the Heavenly Palace together, Qiao Xuan had no choice but to agree with Wu Zimo's opinion, what a pleasing couple of gods and immortals! Now that Jiang Weiqing is a god, it is natural to find a Taoist couple like a goddess to be a good match.

Only in this way can it last for a long time.

Don't have to end up like him.

Wu Zimo said with emotion: "The sword king and the goddess are really a match made in heaven..."

Qiao Xuan echoed sincerely: "Only a beauty like a goddess can be worthy of our Sword Lord!"

Wu Zimo said excitedly: "That's right, you think so too!"

Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile.

Of course, there was still a little bit of worry about Jiang Weiqing at first, fearing that he would think about himself and find trouble for himself. Now that Jiang Weiqing is happy in life, and there are admirers like Goddess, who are simply models of winners in life, how can they miss themselves? This good-for-nothing Taoist who has been dead for hundreds of years? This is a great thing!

Ruohua's appearance reassured Qiao Xuan a lot, Jiang Weiqing should not be interested in paying attention to himself now, he was the one who was worrying too much!

Qiao Xuan, Wu Zimo and others entered the Yunhai Tiangong together. Just after stepping through the gate, the scene in front of them changed, and there was another world. The palaces all looked like poor houses, shabby and tight.

Goddess Ruohua had disappeared, but Jiang Weiqing was waiting for them inside.

Immortal attendants came to guide them soon. Guiyuan Jianzong was able to arrange a courtyard alone, which was more than enough for them to live in. Qiao Xuan also had his own separate room, so he finally didn't have to make do with others.

He closed the door and glanced at the room. The room was ornately decorated. The floor was paved with jade. On the table was a white jade plate with fairy fruit cakes. There was a bed in the middle. Qiao Xuan lay down on the bed. The bed was as soft as clouds , almost moved to tears.

He has not slept in such a comfortable bed for three full years!

Qiao Xuan stretched out his hand, and the fairy fruit on the table flew into his hand, and he picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth.

Sure enough, this kind of life is more suitable for him!

This Emperor Hualan really knows how to enjoy and is rich. Even the house used to entertain guests is so luxurious. Qiao Xuan likes such generous people. Not only can he enjoy himself here, but he can also find mountains and seas to go to the world. This is really the right place!

... ... ...

Jiang Weiqing also returned to the room. The furnishings in his room were the same as Qiao Xuan's, but he didn't even take a look at the fairy fruit and wine on the table. There was a light shadow under his eyes, and his expression was slightly condensed.

Today's disciple who had just ascended to the ascension didn't look a bit like his Ah Xuan, but unexpectedly reminded him of Ah Xuan...

His Ah Xuan...

Seven hundred years ago, he was just a mortal. When he accidentally stepped on the fairy road and got a glimpse of the way of heaven, he knew that this was what he wanted all his life and the meaning of his life.

His life should not be confined to one world, nor should he submit to the cycle of fate.

So, he abandoned his hometown, his fame, his relatives, everything, far away from his familiar homeland... came to the strange East Chongzhou, and started from scratch.

He will go to a higher and farther place, and the road will be full of thorns, but he will never stop for anything.

Indomitable is his sword intent.

Returning to Yuan Jianzong will be the starting point for him to step on the path to the supreme heaven.

That day when he first entered the immortal gate, as a closed disciple who entered the gate halfway with a mortal body and was brought back by the head of Fenghong, he obviously attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Weiqing faced everyone's gaze, alone, without fear .

There are flying monks here, there are goblins and ghosts, there are immortal methods, and everything strange that he has never seen before.

Cultivating immortals is cultivating the way of heaven, but the way of heaven is ruthless.

There are countless people who seek immortality, and the resources for cultivating immortality are limited, Jiang Weiqing is not naive.

He entered the door halfway, alone, except for the sword in his heart... only the appreciation of Feng Hong, this road is not destined to be easy.

He is ready to face all difficulties.

As long as he has the sword in his hand, no one can stop his steps.

It was only three months after he started, he entered the Tao with the sword, and secured his position as the head disciple, and silenced many people who were pointing behind him.

But the immortal way is lonely and full of difficulties, this is just the beginning...

On this day, Jiang Weiqing was practicing sword in the courtyard as usual, when a handsome and agile young man suddenly came to him.

The young man has a handsome appearance, wearing brocade clothes and jade pendants. In this sect full of cultivators, he is dressed like a rich young master, and like a proud little peacock. His beautiful peach blossom eyes are looking at him, full of love. The sly and curious light seemed to be looking at something strange and interesting, and two words were written brightly all over his body: find fault.

Here comes the trouble.

Jiang Weiqing looked calm, waiting for the young man to take the initiative to make a move.

Sure enough, the young man took a step forward. He was shorter than himself. In order to look imposing, he deliberately puffed out his chest, raised his chin and said loudly: Are you the new closed disciple my father has taken in

With just one sentence, Jiang Weiqing judged the identity of the other party. This is the only son of Feng Hong's head who is loved by thousands of people, Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan folded his hands on his chest and looked at him with raised eyebrows, as if he was thinking about how to show his prestige, so as to give him a new disciple a blow. He thought for a while, and finally came up with a solution, and said triumphantly: Since you started later than me, shouldn't you call me Senior Brother

Call me brother

Is this the way he came up with to make things difficult for him

Jiang Weiqing looked at the young man and lost his mind for a rare moment.

The young man's eyes were as clear as water, as if he could see the end at a glance. Although he was pretending to be frivolous, he didn't look like a bully, but he looked a little cute and innocent. He really just wanted to call him senior brother...

Such a person is not enough to be regarded as a hindrance by him, let alone be qualified as an opponent.

Although everyone said that Jiang Weiqing was a genius, he had understood the truth of rigidity and fragility. If he wanted to go far, there was no need to gamble and fight. He didn't need to waste any more time on something that his senior brother could dismiss.

Moreover, he didn't hate the boy in front of him.

Jiang Weiqing raised the corners of his mouth, bowed with a smile, and said softly: I will ask my brother to take care of me in the future.

It was just a perfunctory remark, but when the young man looked at him, he blushed suddenly, as if he was very excited, and immediately patted his chest and said: Don't worry, I will protect you from now on, and you will protect the whole Guiyuan Sword Sect. You can walk sideways!

Rao Jiang Weiqing has extraordinary experience and is used to the warmth and coldness of people, but this is the first time he has seen such a person. Doesn't he know that this is just a polite remark

Jiang Weiqing looked at the serious young man. The young man's eyes were clear and bright. If there were stars shining, he was born with a detached position, but his heart was pure and innocent, like a child.

He's still a child... Thinking of his guard just now, Jiang Weiqing rarely laughed.

The mind of a young man, as soon as he thinks about it, he thinks about it, and he will forget it after two days.

Jiang Weiqing didn't take this matter to heart.

But Feng Xuan took it seriously and never forgot.

He started to come to him often.

He would pretend to meet by chance and send Jiang Weiqing panacea and spirit stones to assist his cultivation.

He would enthusiastically take Jiang Weiqing to every place in Guiyuan Jianzong, saying that in this way you will not get lost, we have a lot of formations, if you fall into a corner, you will accidentally be eaten by wild beasts Not good.

He will give him all his newly acquired treasures, look at him with shining expectant eyes, and ask him if it is useful.

When he is jealous and excluded, he will stand up without hesitation, stand by his side and cheer for him, telling him that you still have me, and that my father is the head of the house, so don't be afraid.

He would look at him earnestly when he was practicing sword, adore his eyes, be quiet, and then wait for him to be free, and happily share with him the interesting things he encountered that day.

Sometimes he is playful but can't go out, so he pulls himself, saying it's your turn to repay me, today you are going to take me out, I haven't gone out for a long time, other senior brothers were criticized by their father, and they refused to take me out. I'm going out…

There will be times when he is down, and he will lie under the starry sky at night, telling him his emotions, saying that he has made daddy angry again today, if only he could do it like him, daddy wouldn't be so worried...

In fact, Jiang Weiqing didn't need these, but why didn't he refuse

The young man's smile and words, like spring breeze turning into rain, fell around him, and like a chirping bird, with inexhaustible enthusiasm and warmth, melting his indifference little by little... He was just perfunctory at first, and then slowly In the end, all of this became his expectation and joy.

He could have walked this road of cultivating immortals alone, but it seems that it would be good if he was accompanied by a young man.

Because of the young man's existence, this lonely fairyland is not as cold as imagined, but becomes warm and nostalgic. The young man walks into his heart step by step like this, becoming the only way that can make him stop besides his way. beautiful things.

He had made up his mind that he would not stay for anything, but he still couldn't do it after all.

A year passed in a flash, and he won the leader in the Zongmen Grand Competition, and he had a great reputation. He was called the most promising genius in the past thousand years by the world of cultivating immortals.

The Zongmen has high hopes on him, hoping that he will revitalize the Zongmen and lead Guiyuan Jianzong to a further step.

Everything went smoothly, beyond imagination.

Until one day, the head of Feng Hong suddenly came to see him and asked him what he thought of Feng Xuan.

The head of Feng Hong said it cryptically, but Jiang Weiqing understood it in an instant. It was discovered that Feng Xuan liked her.

If he showed any reluctance, Fengxuan would be restrained in the future, and he would no longer be able to see him at will... At this moment, Jiang Weiqing made a decision.

He told the head of Feng Hong that he would like to become a Taoist couple with Feng Xuan.

In this long journey of immortality, there is finally one person who he does not want to and cannot let go of.

Feng Hong, the head of the sect, has the kindness of knowing him, and Feng Xuan is the only person he cares about.

He will not regret today's decision.

Headmaster Feng Hong was overjoyed, and patted him on the shoulder in relief and said, Ah Xuan will leave it to you from now on.

At the signing ceremony, hundreds of sects came to congratulate, the grand occasion was unprecedented, Jiang Weiqing held hands to greet him, and looked at his beloved young man. From then on, they were the closest people.

These ten years are the best time in Jiang Weiqing's memory.

The existence of the young man makes his journey of cultivating immortals no longer lonely.

Jiang Weiqing wanted to stay with him for the rest of his life, depend on each other for life and death, and never leave him.

However, it is not easy to achieve this - because Fengxuan's aptitude is mediocre and he has no intention of cultivating, everyone knows that he cannot ascend.

But Jiang Weiqing was unwilling to accept his fate.

He began to urge the young man to cultivate seriously, find treasures of heaven and earth for him, teach him his sword skills earnestly, and explain his comprehension to him... He hoped that the young man could always be with him.

The young man also knew that his cultivation base was poor and his comprehension was low, so he studied patiently at first, and it was rare for him to be serious for a while, but after only persisting for a few months, he began to give up on himself, and finally in a quarrel, he impatiently said to him: I don't want to ascend anymore.

Jiang Weiqing looked at the young man in front of him, he looked angry and impatient, it was obvious that he really didn't like to practice, he was always a bit delicate, he couldn't bear hardships, he couldn't bear tiredness, so he gave up when he encountered difficulties, and said it easily Such words...

But do you understand what this sentence means

What you give up is not becoming a fairy, but what you give up is me.

I know that your aptitude is not good, and the road to cultivation is also very hard, but can you work a little harder for me...

Jiang Weiqing was a little disappointed for the first time, but he still held his temper and didn't show it. He should be more patient with the young man. The young man is just used to being willful, and he didn't mean it.

Jiang Weiqing, as usual, earnestly urges the young man to practice, but this time the young man seems to really give up. He only thinks about how to delve into food every day, and discusses with himself where to go for fun. He has never thought about immortality. Indulging in the present drunkenness, dreaming and dying...

After all, he didn't understand that what he wanted was not a moment in front of him, but a longer, longer time...

Jiang Weiqing became silent at the beginning, it was meaningless to continue to persecute the young man, but should he just give up like this

Finally one day, Jiang Weiqing learned that there is a secret realm opened in the world of cultivating immortals, and there are treasures left by fallen gods inside. Nine deaths, even the natal spirit sword was severely damaged...

He finally took the flower back.

The young man was very surprised, he seemed a little worried about him, and muttered, "Don't take such risks, I don't need these...

Jiang Weiqing was silent for a long time, and finally only said one sentence: You try it, it may be useful.

As for what price he paid for it, nothing was said.

The young man accepted the Immortal Flower, and under his protection, he successfully condensed into a Nascent Soul, but it was still very far away from becoming an immortal.

Jiang Weiqing felt such powerlessness for the first time.

In front of the mighty fairy road, they are as insignificant as ants.

How easy is it to change one's fate against the sky

It turned out that what I got by doing everything I could was nothing but nothing.

The young man also knows that he cannot become a fairy. In fact, this is something that everyone understands. Only he is unwilling, unwilling to accept his fate, and trying to change this result...

But he should accept this fact.

Jiang Weiqing stopped urging the young man to practice.

The young man is like a bird that has been released into the wind. He is very happy. He is very happy every day, just like when we first met, and has not changed at all, but Jiang Weiqing would rather that he change.

Why are you not sad, not disappointed? Haven't you thought about wanting to be with me forever

Time passed relentlessly.

This day came very abruptly. While meditating once, Jiang Weiqing suddenly realized that the catastrophe was approaching, and his time was running out. No matter whether he succeeded or not, he would be separated from his beloved boy.

His sword intent is to move forward indomitably, the sword heart is clear, he is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and never retreats.

But the boy's drifting away finally made his sword heart dust.

Let him start confused.

Confused about what to do in the future.

His sword heart wavered for the first time.

He didn't even have the courage to face the coming of the catastrophe.

Maybe he will die under the catastrophe.

In a daze, Jiang Weiqing came to the young man, and said to the young man seemingly calmly that his catastrophe was coming.

Finally at this moment, how will you choose

Jiang Weiqing looked at the boy.

I want to hear you answer me once.

The young man was startled, then immediately took out the spirit treasure that had been prepared, handed it to him, and said with a smile that I got it for you. I heard that the catastrophe is very dangerous. Life…

The boy's eyes are bright and he is so focused and serious. He hopes that he will succeed, and that he can embark on the fairy road—ascension to the fairy world.

But Jiang Weiqing only felt his heart was cold, and he twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, it is rare for you to be thoughtful, even the treasure to help me cross the catastrophe was prepared early.

You have already made your decision, only I am still stubborn.

Jiang Weiqing didn't accept the gift, and walked away without saying goodbye, leaving their home.

There are only two options before him.

Go through the robbery, or stay.

Staying here means giving up your sword heart, giving up all your persistence, giving up the supreme way of heaven, giving up half your life's hard work, staying in this world of mortals, and finally turning into an insignificant dust...

Jiang Weiqing couldn't do it.

He has given up too much for this, and this is something he cannot give up.

Without the sword, without the Tao, for him, the whole life has lost its meaning.

But to cross the catastrophe, if you succeed, you will live or if you fail, you will die. No matter what, you will be separated from the boy...

The boy is also something he can't give up.

For the first time in Jiang Weiqing's life, he faced such a dilemma.

Three days later, Jiang Weiqing returned home.

The young man had been waiting for him, and seeing that he finally came back, he asked anxiously, "Are you angry with me?"

Jiang Weiqing shook his head, he said: If I leave, will you blame me

The boy shook his head hastily.

At this moment Jiang Weiqing finally felt relieved, he said: Yes, you can't.

You have already made preparations to face this day, you have been waiting for my departure, and you choose to stay alone in the world without me.

And you readily accept this, and even disdain to say a word of retention.

You have never expected to last forever, just like a mayfly, you live and die, you just want to indulge your life, there is no point in the past and the future, whether I exist or not, will not change your decision...

This is the choice you make.

You choose your life.

I chose to let go.

It's a pity for myself, but I don't want to just let it go.

What I want is to last forever and never be separated.

You are the only thing I can't let go of besides kendo.

When he first met ten years ago, he thought that the boy would not be his obstacle, but in the end, he became his only obstacle.

Perhaps this is the ultimate test of Heaven for him.

He was the one who ascended to heaven and became an immortal, the last calamity.

Jiang Weiqing finally made his decision.

No longer hesitate.

No more wavering.

Jiang Weiqing looked at the young man's clear eyes, and sighed softly: But, I can't leave you alone.

Since you don't want to go with me, then I'll take you with me, okay

From now on, what I see is what you see, where I am is where you go, and we will live forever and never be separated.

As long as you are by my side, there is nothing I can worry about in this mortal world.

... ... ...

Jiang Weiqing opened his eyes, and a long silver sword appeared in front of him. The natal sword felt his mood and let out a soft cry.

There is a bright pearl inlaid on the sword, the bright pearl is clear and clear, exuding a soft luster.

Jiang Weiqing raised his hand and gently brushed the pearl, his eyes were gentle, and he murmured:

"You know, I saw a person today who is quite similar to you."
