Chapter 253
Liu Ji opened the letter, and inside was a piece of paper that felt quite thick.
As soon as the two of them saw the contents of the paper, their eyes widened.
The paper was nothing else but the information about the last piece of mirror fragment that Liu Ji wanted to know the most.
However, its location was indeed beyond Liu Ji's expectations.
"The Secret Sanctuary, the then director, Qiong Kasoros..." Liu Ji looked at the names and couldn't help but frowned, "Ya Yin, have you seen him?"
"No, but I have heard a lot of rumors about him," Ya Yin said, "It is said that he has lived for nearly two thousand years, but rarely shows up, and even many great arcane masters have never seen him, and his arcane attainments are unfathomable,..."
"It sounds like a troublesome guy," Liu Ji sighed, "and the arcane is a bit of a headache to think about."
"It's okay, I'll go with you this time," Ya Yin said.
"Huh? You're coming?" Liu Ji was stunned, "Uh, but..."
"You're not going to let me wait another ten years, are you?" Yayin looked back at Liu Ji.
"Ahaha, that's true," Liu Ji scratched the back of his head, "but after all..."
"Don't underestimate me," Yayin said, "I'm better at dealing with arcane than you, and I'm not as weak as I was ten years ago. If you don't believe me, we can find a place to try."
"Haha, that's not necessary, how could I not believe you," Liu Ji smiled and shook his head, "It's just that you're different from us, after all, you're not immortal..."
"We've never been immortal, but we still walked down like this," Yayin said in a teasing tone, "Don't think ordinary people are too fragile, brave man."
Liu Ji looked at Yayin, a little distressed.
Yayin also looked at Liu Ji, with a calm face.
After a moment of silence, Yayin sighed and said, "Forget it, let's find a place to fight."
"No, that's right..." Liu Ji still looked reluctant.
However, the next second, the cold metal rod was already under his chin. He looked at Yayin and found that the latter had opened her mouth, as if she was ready to chant a spell.
Liu Ji was startled, and with a thought, he quickly took the two of them out of the area.
However, just when the forest wilderness of the outside world just appeared in front of him, suddenly, he felt that his eyes went black, and the whole person seemed to have returned to the thousand years buried deep underground by the world.
Unable to move, no perception, and unable to do anything, the terrifying feeling of powerlessness made Liu Ji almost suffocate.
At that moment, he even thought that the terrifying suppression from the whole world had descended on him again, which made him panic for a moment and struggled subconsciously.
But the next moment, his world was bright again.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the bright sky and Yayin's face looking down at him.
And he was resting his head on Yayin's knees, at the deserted lakeside.
"How is it?" Yayin asked with a smile.
"Damn, what is this..." Liu Ji asked in a trance.
"This is a small punishment," Yayin smiled and pulled Liu Ji's cheek, "a punishment for you looking down on me."
"Ha...hiss, this is really," Liu Ji swallowed his saliva, "This is not an ordinary arcane..."
"Remember, you taught me Chinese," Yayin whispered, "This is a brand new arcane system based on Chinese, and it is also the result of our ten years of research."
"That's really...exaggerated," Liu Ji scratched his forehead.
However, he seemed to have experienced the same type of feeling.
That was the night when Yayin learned the quiet night thinking, the feeling of being completely immersed in the moonlight, he still remembers it vividly.
"Now, do you have anything else to say?" Yayin asked with a smile.
"Well, I think..." Liu Ji swallowed his saliva, "Well, I will protect you."
"Well, then I'll leave it to you," Yayin lowered her head slightly and kissed Liu Ji's forehead gently.
Liu Ji stared at Yayin blankly, without any response for a long time.
Yayin also looked at him, and after a long silence, she asked, "What's wrong? Looking at me like this."
"Ah, how should I put it," Liu Ji scratched his cheek, "I feel that you seem to have a temperament that is a little...much more mature than before?"
"Really," Yayin tilted her head, "Do you like it more like before?"
"No, how should I put it..." Liu Ji bit his lip and whispered, "You don't have to cater to me...Uh, I mean, tsk, it's a bit embarrassing..."
"Really," Yayin smiled and gently scratched Liu Ji's nose, "Well, I understand, anyway, I forgive you for the time being."
As soon as the voice fell, a burst of lively cheers suddenly came from a distance.
Liu Ji turned his head and asked in confusion: "That's..."
"The exhibition match is over," Yayin turned her head, "I guess the potatoes lost this year?"
"Ah, lost," Liu Ji nodded. Just now, he had felt the information transmitted from the other side through his blood, "With Massa here, it's really a bit beyond the scope..."
"She is the strongest warrior I have ever seen," Yayin said softly, "but..."
"No one can compare to the tyrant, right," Liu Ji sighed.
"Well," Yayin nodded, "So, we can only trust you..."
"Aren't you afraid that I will stand against the whole world again?" Liu Ji asked.
Yayin turned to look at him and said with a smile: "That is also our fate. It is unfair to place the fate of us and the world on you. If that day comes, I will not blame you. of……"
"No," Liu Ji raised his hand and caressed Yayin's cheek, "I won't let anything happen to you. I am my promise."
"It's not you," Yayin knocked on Liu Ji's forehead, "What I hope to hear is, 'us'."
Liu Ji looked at Ya Yin, was silent for a moment, smiled, and said, "Okay..."
After saying that, Liu Ji sat up, blew a breath, and asked, "Hey, what's the activity after the performance competition?"
Yayin looked at Liu Ji and said nothing.
Liu Ji looked at Ya Yin with a smile, tilted his head, and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Yayin still looked at Liu Ji without saying a word.
Liu Ji tilted his head to the other side again, still looking puzzled, and asked, "Huh? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Yayin took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, then shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing. Next, I think it's time for lunch. Do you want to eat barbecue?"
"Oh, okay, I just haven't eaten enough yet," Liu Ji stood up immediately, "Let's go."
After saying that, he took Yayin's hand, turned around and walked slowly towards the direction where the laughter came from.
Yayin followed Liu Ji, looked at Liu Ji's back, and sighed silently.
Then, she took out her other hand from her pocket.
In that hand, he actually held another piece of letter paper.
She looked at the content on the letter, and after reading one line, the content slowly disappeared. After reading it all, the letter also turned into a blank piece of paper.
Then, Yayin opened her hand, held the letter in her hand, and gently lifted it up. The letter turned into a small paper bird, fluttered its wings, and flew towards the sun, and then , in the bright sunshine, turned into misty fly ash behind the two people.
271. Three-in-one. As I said, you will be struck by lightning if you say weird things.
Liu Ji didn't know how long it had been since he had experienced such a feeling.
Drinking wine from a big bowl, eating meat with big mouthfuls, and singing loudly, it seems as if yesterday's hard work and the previous struggles and hardships were all fake.
The banquet lasted from noon to evening, with people eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
On the stone platform in the middle, festival programs are performed one after another. When the performances are over, bonfires are lit again and serve as a dance floor for the villagers to dance happily.
Liu Ji sat on a piece of grass a little further away, looking at the dancing bonfire in the center of the stone platform, leisurely in a daze.
"I brought some freshly baked snacks," Yayin took a bag of pancakes, sat down next to Liu Ji, and handed the paper bag to Liu Ji.
"Oh! It looks good," Liu Ji picked up a piece and took a bite.
After Yain took a piece herself, she placed the paper bag on the ground between the two of them.
"Speaking of which, is this kind of festival very common?" Liu Ji asked.
"No, it's only once a year," Yayin shook her head. "The production of food and wine is limited. Supporting such an event in a year is already the limit."
"Ah, that's right, this city is still very young," Liu Ji let out a sigh, "However, this will probably be the happiest time for people. When there are more people and development, there will always be various problems. All kinds of problems..."
"It happens now, and this town is not perfect," Yayin smiled. "There will always be people who can't deal with each other, and there will always be conflicts in the distribution of interests. There are also a lot of noisy things on weekdays, and people are idle and sneaky. People will always exist, it’s just that the festival covers everything up.”
"Ah, that's right. After all, everyone is different," Liu Ji let out a long breath, "So, is there any law in this city?"
"Not yet," Yayin shook her head, "but sooner or later there will be. When the time comes, there will naturally be law enforcement agencies and people in power..."
"Well...it's a long road ahead," Liu Ji smiled.
"It's enough to be happy if you can worry about this kind of thing," Yayin said. "Isn't what we do just to give them a future with such opportunities?"
"Yeah..." Liu Ji held his chin, "The rest is up to people to figure out their own solutions... Haha, this conversation is like a real God of Creation."
"If we can accomplish all this, at least for humans... No, it's really strange to say this," Yayin looked at the sky, "After all, to say so great, we are also doing it for ourselves."
"Well, I agree, I have never thought that I am a great person," Liu Ji nodded, "If possible, I just want to eat and die by myself with nothing to do..."
"Alone?" Yayin looked at Liu Ji.
"Ah," Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Yes, I am no longer alone..."
"Yeah, that's hard to say. It turns out that someone prefers someone else," Yayin muttered in a yin-yang tone, stood up, and wandered towards the outside of the venue.
"Hey, no, I made a slip of the tongue," Liu Ji quickly stood up and wanted to grab Yain's hand.
Unexpectedly, the latter ducked slightly, not letting Liu Ji touch him, and strode forward.
Liu Ji looked behind him, then at Ya Yin's back, sighed softly, followed, and continued his feeble explanation.
Of course, no matter how he explained, it was useless, so he could only follow Ya Yin, gradually walked out of the venue, and walked into the city.
A little further away, Kalidora, who was dancing with Mo Wente on the dance floor, noticed the backs of the two people leaving, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Huh? What are you laughing at?" Mo Wente asked in confusion.
"Nothing," Kalidora shook her head, "I just thought that I shouldn't have to go back to the institute tonight."
"That's good," Mo Wente's hand gently wrapped around Kalidora's waist, "You guys are in the institute every day, I can't sleep at night."
"Don't come on, how can it be every day," Kalidora gently tapped Mo Wente's forehead, "and you obviously sleep like a dead pig at home every day, don't think I don't know."
"Huh? How do you know?" Mo Wente was stunned.
"With the intensity of your daily training, it's a pity that you can't sleep at night," Kalidora said with a smile, "How can I not know you?"
"Haha, that's right," Mowente smiled, "but speaking of it, it's rare that I didn't train today..."
"Oh?" Kalidora raised her eyebrows slightly, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say, tonight..." Mowente looked at Kalidora with a meaningful look, but it didn't last for two seconds, and he laughed, "Haha, no, just a joke, just a little emotional, if it was in the past, I couldn't imagine myself being so hardworking."
"If I saw you now, I think your master would be very pleased," Kalidora smiled.
"No, probably not," Mowente shook his head gently, "Don't look at him like that, in fact, I think he is the one who most hopes that I can always stay the same as before..."
"Really," Kalidora smiled helplessly, "It seems that you are still brooding over it."
"Ah," Mowente nodded gently, "This kind of thing, I can't forget it for many years..."
"He may be dead," Kalidora said softly.
"No, he is still alive," Mowente shook his head, "and, I think, he is also waiting for me..."
Calidora looked at Mowente, was silent for a moment, smiled and shook her head.
Then, she raised her hand and gently flicked Mowente's forehead.
"Don't talk about this today, okay?" Kalidora said softly.
"Ha, that's right, sorry," Mowente smiled, took Kalidora's hand, turned around, and danced a dance from his hometown.

Outside, Jilunini sat on Osa’s knees, propping up her cheeks, watching Movente and Callidora dancing in the middle of the field.
“Aren’t you going to go up and dance for a while?” Osa asked.
