Accompanied by Qixi's words.
Ye An slowly remembered what was recorded in the temple's ancient books.
"The summit of Kowloon, the Pillar of Pilgrimage, the Way of Heaven, the Son of Destiny..."
He frowned, lost in thought.
It is not appropriate to think about these serious things while on a date, even at the end of the date.
But the memories emerging from the depths of his mind forced him to take them seriously.
Qi Xi looked very happy, with a smile on his pretty face, and said:
"If you can't remember, don't force yourself to think about it. I'll explain it to you and listen."
"look."
She pointed to the place higher in the sky where the long golden pillars floated.
"Those are the pillars of pilgrimage. Every sacred pillar and every fragment contains the order of three thousand avenues."
"A long time ago, there was a palace in the sky."
"The Pilgrimage Column is the sacred instrument that supports the floating palace."
Ye An followed the direction of her finger and looked up.
The momentum of reaching the top of Kowloon has disappeared.
What can be seen clearly is the pillar shining with a faint golden light.
I don’t know why Kowloon appeared, and I don’t know why it disappeared. Only the Pilgrimage Pillar still shines with bright golden light.
Qi Xi continued to explain: "This palace in the sky is called... Heaven's Way."
"Thousands of years ago, the way of heaven was shattered, and the gods did not know where they were going. But the Pillars of Pilgrimage and the Law of Order are still left in this world."
"There is a law of order that has been naturally inherited to this day—"
Speaking of this, Qixi paused for a moment.
Then, she said something long that shocked Ye An.
"Every ten thousand years, Heaven will give birth to a son of destiny, who will gather the fate of all people in the world, inherit the will of Heaven's order, wander the world, root out evil and eliminate evil, and bring peace to the world."
"The previous empress a hundred years ago fell in that war between demons and evil spirits."
"She could not wait for the arrival of the son of destiny and died in the war between demons and evil spirits."
"Now, I thought I would inherit her important responsibility, continue to protect this place from evil, and then die..."
"But there is also real hope."
Qi Xi paused for a moment and said with a smile:
"More than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years at the slowest, I will finally be able to retire once the son of destiny grows up and inherits the temple."
She smiled happily when she said these words.
But she was the only one who smiled happily.
Compared with her smiling face, Ye An's face looked terrible.
Ye An: "..."
For a moment, he was silent.
There were many complex emotions in Qi Xi's eyes.
He does not need to know the chaotic settings of the Pilgrimage Pillar, the Way of Heaven, and the Law of Order.
Even if he is the Holy Son of the Temple, he is still extremely far away from these heavenly beings.
However, the omens of the child of destiny cannot be ignored.
The stupid Temple Empress was still as innocent and cute as a little girl. She didn't know that the redemption she had been looking forward to would result in her being ruined and then dying.
Qixi's smile gradually solidified, and then he sighed softly and said, "Idiot, why are you looking so sad?"
"ah."
Ye An was stunned for a moment and said disapprovingly: "I was distracted because of my thoughts."
"Distracted?" Qi Xi said in surprise: "I am so happy, and I just agree with your unhappy face."
"Do you understand what I mean?" she asked seriously.
Ye An hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know..."
Qi Xi was disappointed, sighed, and felt unwilling.
Then he stretched out his slender jade fingers—
clatter!
Bounce Ye An's forehead again.
Qi Xi simply clarified what he thought was a disgusting statement, and hummed: "Originally, after tonight's date, we have to separate, so just treat this night as a dream."
"But the vision of climbing to the top of Kowloon made me change my mind."
"If you are willing, can you wait for me a little longer?"
"In a few decades at most, I can put down my heavy responsibilities and stay with you forever."
"Do you still understand this time?" she said seriously.
But Ye An's reaction was not as happy as she expected.
He still had that serious, distracted expression.
"Put down the heavy responsibility...?" Ye An asked doubtfully.
Qi Xi frowned immediately.
In the past two days, she had always seen Ye An's attitude that didn't deserve a beating but was endearing.
But this was the first time she saw the other person being serious.
Qi Xi nodded slightly, "Only when the son of destiny has fully grown up, when he can stand on his own and can take over the temple—"
"I will no longer care about other things, as long as I stay with you forever."
"Looking at your serious expression, let me ask you -"
At this point, Qi Xi changed his tone and said seriously and solemnly: "Do you... like me?"
"Or are you just trying to trick me?"
This is a scoring question.
Ye An's mind returned to reality and blurted out: "Of course there is."
Qi Xi's face was covered with black lines, and his pretty face twitched slightly, "You are too perfunctory."
Ye An asked: "What about Your Majesty?"
"me."
She thought for a long time, and then said: "I like it, face."
“…”
"Just kidding. No, why didn't you answer the call?"
Qi Xi said: "If you say it, you may have forgotten it."
"Do you still remember? When you were seriously ill and confused when you were young, I visited you, but you called me... um, 'little sister'?"
Ye An was stunned for a moment, "What, little sister?"
Although this place is similar to an ancient fantasy world.
But the term 'little sister' is clearly the term used by Blue Star in her previous life.
"I don't remember." Ye An slapped his head and said, "Did I go crazy at that time?"
"… what."
Qi Xi said: "I can't remember clearly. I'm definitely not crazy."
"However, I was really happy that you could call me that at that time, and I have paid attention to you since then."
Hearing this, Ye An just mentioned casually:
"I didn't expect that I would be so capable since I was a child. I could deceive the Temple Empress with just one sentence."
Qi Xi rolled his eyes at him, but said nothing more.
At that time, the situation was turbulent, and the temple was experiencing internal and external troubles. There were many people who disobeyed Qi Xi. Some voices ridiculed her as an old woman and an old monster. She should have died for the previous empress in the war between demons and evil spirits.
After all, she was just a demigod, and the divine power she inherited was incomplete and unconvincing.
"well."
Qi Xi let out a long sigh, put all these messy things behind him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
With some emotion in her bright eyes, she glanced at Ye An and said, "Maybe you are tired and have a sad face, forget it."
"Come closer and I'll talk to you."
Ye Anlue was a little confused.
Unexpectedly, he just took a step forward.
Qi Xi has already fallen into his arms, and the light fragrance is intoxicating.
"When the son of destiny grows up, I will return the throne of the temple to him."
"When the time comes, we will live here in Beisheng and watch the sunrise every day."
Qixi said softly.
Ye An's eyes trembled.
There were many things in his heart, but he could not express them to Qi Xi.
For example, the Son of Destiny is not in the same camp as the Temple.
Qi Xi thought he was retiring and letting go of his responsibilities, but in the end he was killed by the Son of Destiny and was freed.
She couldn't wait for the day when the throne would be returned to the son of destiny.
Because before that happens, the Son of Destiny will lead a group of evil spirits to destroy the temple and execute the empress.
Ye An knew the outcome, but at this time, he still didn't say it out because of his complicated mood.
Scenes suddenly flashed before his eyes.
