Chapter 727: Visiting Lu Yanhuai; Dragon guards the Jade Tower for 3 years, I guard the human world
Three full months passed and it was midsummer.
There were no more abnormalities in the ruins of the Northern Boundary or the ruins of the Andaia Mountains in the Western Continent. The God-making Sect, which had been scolded by many indignant people in Middle-earth for provoking the relationship between the Ninth District and the Greater District, did not make any moves. The implementation of the new plan in the four major bases was also quite smooth.
Everything was unusually calm.
In July, when the fire umbrella is raised, there is also good news.
Gu Yujing and Hua Anning are getting married and invite Chang Le to attend.
It is said that a month ago, the two and the elders of both families had originally planned to get engaged first, after all, Hua An Ning was only 20 years old. As a result, the two thought about it for a long time, clapped their hands, and decided to get married directly.
It was a bit rushed, but fortunately everything was easy to buy, and the two of them didn't like big celebrations, so they planned to only invite some relatives and friends, and as for the other families, they would just give each other gifts to show their love. The wedding was scheduled for early August.
Coincidentally, Chang Le was preparing to leave District 9.
She has now stabilized her ninth-order cultivation, but her ability to use various supernatural powers has not yet reached its peak. She has not forgotten her goal of entering the depths of the no-man's land, and the "third gift" that Jiufang Gui hinted at in the God-making Realm.
——"Would you like to meet again?"
Whether it is the no-man's land or the starry space and time outside this world, it is based on her first reaching a height that is on par with Fu Guang, or even needs to surpass it.
Now that the busiest things during this period have been dealt with, Chang Le decided to go out for training. The first choice of training place is undoubtedly the various secret realms.
This time when going to Hua'an City to attend their wedding, Chang Le decided to go to the Xuanjian Lake of the Butian Tower as well.
Under the Xuanjian Lake, there is an ancient [Bronze Tomb Secret Realm], which is a level-breaking assessment secret realm suitable for Chang Le to practice.
Wang Yao and Fu Heqing went with them. Tao Zi and Chen Wu were slightly less talented in cultivation. After seeing the succession of power in the Wolf Sect and the four people around Lu Jinan, the four of them also felt pressured and worked harder. So this time, Tao Zi and Chen Wu chose to practice the skills they were good at.
In addition to the two of them, Bai Xie, Ling Ren and Li Jie were also there. Kulai and Raymond had already returned to the family. The two families had heard about the cooperation with Huang Jin Yao and had also tried to get it from the Dragon Clan. However, apart from Chang Le's requirement of going to the Middle Earth first and then the Middle Earth, the two families had no objection and only temporarily scheduled the cooperation.
Before the group went to Hua'an City, Chang Le stopped in the Gray Region to visit Lu Yanhuai. Crow had also returned to Lu Jinan and was his right-hand man.
Others did not follow, and Crow led Chang Le to the back garden: "The old gentleman is there."
Old gentleman?
This title made Chang Le feel extremely uncomfortable.
But when she saw Lu Yanhuai lying in the garden with a head full of white hair, she couldn't say anything to refute.
"Huh? Lele is here?" Although Lu Yanhuai had lost his cultivation, his alertness and skills formed by years of training were still there, and he immediately noticed someone approaching.
Lu Yanhuai winked at Crow, who happily moved a chair and placed it next to Lu Yanhuai, then waved to Chang Le and left.
Chang Le sat over, looked at him and said nothing.
Lu Yanhuai squinted his eyes in the sun and did not say anything.
Silence spread for a moment.
Finally, Lu Yanhuai chuckled and broke the silence: "You were never so silent in front of me before. You've become distant with me after just two months of not seeing me? Or do you look down on me, an old man?"
"How are you old?" Chang Le immediately refuted his self-deprecation.
Lu Yanhuai laughed softly: "That's right, it's not easy for me to say I'm old in front of you."
He teased her deliberately, but Chang Le was not annoyed: "I'm not that old actually. To be honest, we are about the same age."
"Hmm?" Lu Yanhuai adjusted the backrest and sat up, "What do you mean?"
Just like chatting about family matters, Chang Le simply told him about his own experiences.
Three hundred years is a long time, so long that even the prosperous world can become desolate. But now standing at the end and looking back, telling others about the past, it only takes a few minutes to summarize it.
After all, although it was said to be more than three hundred years, the time when her life trajectory actually overlapped with this world was only less than two decades.
Eighteen years in Green Vine Courtyard, and more than ten years this time.
In this way, just over thirty years, the course of events was far more complicated and eventful than the usual three hundred years.
Chang Le was supposed to live to the age of 422 or , but she could not find the mind of an or -year-old at all. Just like when the story began, the Chang Le who was arguing and playing with had disappeared in a very long time.
Looking at the girl beside him calmly telling about her sufferings, Lu Yanhuai's smile had long disappeared.
It turns out that decades of time weighing on a person can be as heavy as a mountain.
"Old Lu, I seem to be getting old too." Chang Le chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"I used to feel sad when I didn't meet other people's expectations. I often reflected on myself hypocritically, thinking that I was not good enough but didn't know how to become better. I felt wronged and frustrated, and was easily hurt. Also, whenever I thought of the slightest thing about Fu Guang, I felt extremely uncomfortable.
But now, those passionate emotions of mine seem to be separated from me. I know that Chang Le is still there, but I can’t find him anymore, and I don’t want to find him anymore.”
Chang Le took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and squinted his eyes in the sun: "Although I feel that my mentality is old, it's good this way. Yes, Lu Yanhuai, I think I'm good this way."
really?
Lu Yanhuai subconsciously wanted to ask this.
Is this rational, calm, strong, and hard-to-get-sad Changle really good? Is this what you expect?
"Lele." Lu Yanhuai looked into her eyes, "You still have a bright future."
Chang Le was stunned and fell silent.
Lu Yanhuai said: "With your cultivation, special physique and bloodline, you can definitely survive the next three hundred years. No one knows better than you how long three hundred years is. There are many things you can do, not just in the present or in this world.
Give this world a hundred years at most, and keep the rest of the time for yourself."
Chang Le tilted his head slightly and said softly, "In fact, when I was creating the mysterious realm, I secretly made a resolution."
——"The dragon guarded the Jade Tower for three hundred years, and I guarded the human world for three hundred years."
"Old Lu, this is what I originally planned."
"I want to go to the no-man's land, and I also want to see the world outside the world, but..."
Chang Le lay there, his face almost swallowed by the golden sunlight: "After all, I still want to guard that tombstone for my whole life, until it completely decays."
Lu Yanhuai shook his head: "This is not a good plan, girl, you shouldn't rot on this land."
Chang Le was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, then I'll try, I'll try to fly to other stars."
Lu Yanhuai laughed: "I believe you can do it, you are a miracle yourself."
Chang Le suddenly turned to look at him: "Then it's a deal, you have to witness this miracle of mine."
Lu Yanhuai was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You're being childish again."
But then, both of them felt sad.
One will not be able to witness the departure of others, and the other will not know how many departures to witness.
Before leaving, Chang Le gave him a small box.
