Chirp chirp chirp chirp...
Li Xin woke up, these birds are quite punctual, they sing so joyfully. Li Xin didn't open his eyes, the person beside him was already gone, but the aroma lingered. He lazed a bit before opening his eyes, breakfast was already set on the table.
Li Xin got out of bed, walked to the window. He particularly enjoyed watching the outside from here. Yesterday, when he wanted to clarify the relationship, Christie diverted the topic, and continuing would be impolite. After all, it would be too pretentious to say he suffered a loss.
In fact, thinking about it, Christie was more rational. Regardless of the reason, in the current situation, he should be more patient. Old Luo also said that for Night Patrol, talking about feelings is a luxury; for two Night Patrols, it's even more unwise. Li Xin understood this, and couldn't refute it, which was why he left the Celestial Capital, and also the reason why although Hedan was suitable for living, he didn't bring Aunt Fei and little Xueyin over.
The most troublesome thing right now is the Inner Demon. Regardless of whether it's Number One or Two, it will cause a major event in Hedan, and probably no one can remain unaffected.
The recent sense of ease occasionally makes him forget where he is.
Born in adversity, die in ease, indeed, he was quite cultured. As for the goodwill from the Gourmet Association, it could be seen in two ways. The other party probably sensed something different, either from him or from the influence of the Secret Castle. There must be things between Secret Organizations that he didn't know about. He shouldn't take himself too seriously. Of course, this good relationship did bring great convenience, and he indeed owed it to them. Who in this world doesn't have a motive?
Li Xin happily finished his breakfast. Ever since he got this bracelet, things have become very convenient; no more moving things around. Thanks to Master Didia, good person indeed.
Li Xin threw dice to make a judgment. It was about Simmons's Holy Land, and the result was extremely dangerous, confirming Li Xin's suspicion and completely ending his thoughts.
Today's plan is to head to Celestia's Holy Land. He had inquired about Simmons's situation from the Metropolitan. It was best not to enter the Holy Land for the time being. Even if he would enter in the future, he needed to be extremely cautious. Once anything is contaminated, even if it appears to be completely cleared, some traces will remain, and these traces might attract attention when entering the Holy Land. For dear Master Simmons, Li Xin had secretly made a judgment, and the result was six points, which was overall favorable for Simmons. The thing under the mist was targeting him.
For families like George's, understanding Divine Relic, the Holy Land is not necessary, Magic Potion can also assist. Generally, nobles don't fight to the death inside the Holy Land. Only those with extraordinary talent and great ambitions, who are not satisfied with Magic Potion, will continue to fight in the Holy Land. And such people are generally focused on pursuing Hidden Power and Hidden Authority, rather than secular power.
The pursuit of life determines the path.
After going downstairs, he found that there were fewer people today. Li Xin leisurely headed to old Morton's to have breakfast, picked up a Golden Fruit from a fruit stand on the way to whet his appetite. Little Morton was at school, even on weekends, without a break. The teacher valued him, so he specially offered extracurricular classes for some excellent students.
To this, Li Xin could only say that even in another world, it was so competitive. Old Morton was ecstatic; he had endless energy at work. This was his life, with no other pursuits. If little Morton could have a good future, it would be worth anything.
Li Xin, as usual, ate his fill, patted his belly, and called a convertible to head to the Saint Grace Canon Law School. As soon as he arrived at the school, it seemed like he was separated from the outside world, with half his worries gone. The air here was particularly fresh.
Simmons and Celestia were both there. When they saw Li Xin, Celestia curiously circled around him, "Hmm, something feels different about you."
"What's different? I've always been like this."
"No, there's definitely a change, a good demeanor, a bright aura," Celestia said strangely, "Your skin is glowing too."
"Hey, I'm not a woman," Li Xin refused to accept this kind of compliment, "Yesterday, I interacted with the Gourmet Association a bit, I'll share it with you."
Li Xin shared the information with Simmons and Celestia, including the analysis with Christie. Both of them were silent for a good while.
Celestia also realized the depths, looked at Simmons. Simmons thought for a moment, "No matter who the culprit is, I want to investigate. This kind of person can't avoid the guillotine. I can't get over it in my life."
"Simmons, I admire your resolve."
"Thank you, but I don't need it!"
Celestia set up the Gate of Truth. With more people, the Holy Land would undergo changes, and Li Xin's presence would obviously intensify the change. They were not unfamiliar with this, but had never encountered anything as exaggerated as Li Xin, "Brother Li, I'm a bit nervous, you have to protect me."
Even the brother couldn't stand it, "Celestia, wipe your drool, if you're excited, just be excited."
Celestia stomped hard on Simmons, "You shut up. Keep a good watch; your one and only cutest sister's life is in your hands. If the situation becomes unfavorable, get me out."
"Okay, okay, got it. With Brother Li here, there won't be any big storms. This is your rare opportunity." Simmons hadn't been idle these days, constantly strengthening his control over the Thunder Power, gradually appreciating the wonder of superpowers. Mainly he had heterochromatic eyes, strengthening combined with Thunder Power, improved very quickly. Give him a few more months, he felt there was a complete chance to directly defeat Didia. The emphasis the family placed on him also increased; at least during family meetings, when he spoke, no one dared to make snide comments anymore.
Grandpa's vision was indeed accurate; Simmons gradually felt that having good judgment about people and things was enormously important, it could turn the tide and change fate.
Grandpa was recently very busy, don't know what he's up to, but for sure it's something major.
Li Xin and Celestia stood still. As the Gate of Truth activated, their figures disappeared. Simmons focused on the crystal ball, their silhouettes appeared in it.
Li Xin steadied his figure, from what met his eyes was an endless desert, yellow sand filling the sky intertwined with mist. Around were remnants of walls and ruins, with most of the structure mottled and buried by yellow sand.
Celestia opened her mouth wide, "Brother Li, it wasn't like this here before, it's so thrilling. You really can change the Holy Land!"
"What was it like before?"
"It was a desert city, definitely nothing like this doomsday scenario. My family had invited hidden seniors to take me here, the changes weren't this drastic; what you've done is an upheaval." Celestia's gaze was fervently focused on Li Xin, completely unconcerned about the surroundings; anyway, she believed Li Xin's strength was enough to ensure her safety.
Li Xin wasn't as optimistic as Celestia. He didn't know if the Holy Land was interconnected or if there existed any connections. The reaction of the dice was normal; evidently, it felt at ease. The main concern was to guard against whatever was lurking under the mist eyeing him. Being cautious before clarifying the rules was never a fault.
In the yellow sand, a faint path could be seen leading forward. Li Xin's eyes turned pale, penetrating the yellow sand. In the distance within the yellow sand, a city was vaguely visible, somewhat similar to Simmons's. The stone bridge looked like the outskirts of a city, with signs of an urban area already visible.
Commonalities lied in the scent of decay and destruction. The aura of living beings exuding from the two was quickly sensed by the Fallen Creatures. Subtle rustling sounds came through the wind and sand. Celestia's previous gleeful and excited expression subsided. The dense sound was gradually overtaking the wind and sand noise. Not far, the sand dunes began to undulate, and then pairs of red eyes started increasing, with about a hundred Lickers converging. These Lickers were different from those at Simmons's place, their bodies dry, cracked, and incomplete, faces grotesque yet numb. But upon noticing the two, the seemingly dead eyes turned manic, shrieks piercing through the gale, each Licker leaping at the two with agility that belied their condition.
Celestia wasn't a Knight, didn't possess Simmons's offensive and defensive capabilities. A Curse Master could play a supportive role, but against the monsters' collective attack, had little capacity to resist.
Li Xin grabbed Celestia, who thought they were retreating, but instead, Li Xin charged forward carrying her.
