Chapter 931: My Soul

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Liuyue took a deep breath in and started reading this book from the first page.

As she flipped through page by page, she became increasingly shocked and confused.

The things written in the book seemed messy and incoherent, but they had a tinge of regularity to them. It was like some sort of secret code.

Tuan Zi also seemed to notice that something was wrong as it obediently squatted by the side and looked between her and that book from time to time. Its eyes kept turning.

Chu Liuyue stood there and spent a long while finishing the book.

When she flipped to the last page, there was finally a footer that she could understand: “Xin Dynasty Year 3572. Come back in spring.”

Chu Liuyue stared at that line of words and read it for a very long time. Xin Dynasty… There is no such year in the Tianling Dynasty’s thousand-year history. And according to my understanding, some of the surrounding dynasties don’t even have a 3,000-year-long history. Then, what year does this record refer to? Come back in spring… Does it mean that the generation left in spring? But this is my handwriting, so where do I have to return to?

There seemed to be a layer of mist before Chu Liuyue’s eyes, and she couldn’t see clearly.

She had a feeling that this book could be a diary of some sort, but she had actually completely forgotten when she wrote these things, and she didn’t know the content.

But does the sentence on the last page represent some sort of end? Chu Liuyue couldn’t understand at all. She kept flipping through the book back and forth, but she had no clue at all. I’m the one who wrote the book, and I should be the one who left it here. However, I have no impression of it at all.

“Perhaps… it’s related to that memory too…” Chu Liuyue muttered to herself.

At this moment, a ripple was felt from her body.

The ripple came from the black pyramid! The seal on it was undamaged, but something inside seemed like it wanted to break through!

Chu Liuyue was shocked. This commotion… seems to be because of the book in my hands?!

But the ripple was appeased after a moment, and peace resumed.

Chu Liuyue stood quietly and thought for a long while.

“Ancestor,” she suddenly called out.

“Girl, what’s wrong?” Shangguan Jing’s voice clearly landed in her ears.

Chu Liuyue nodded. “There’s something I want to ask you about. You previously said that this black pyramid seals a soul from the Shangguan family, right?”

“That’s right! What’s the matter?”

“I want to ask: you should know whose soul it belongs to, right?”

Shangguan Jing suddenly fell silent.

Something heavy seemed to hammer Chu Liuyue’s heart. Her lips moved, and she lightly said, “The thing inside… is my soul, right?”

…

The study was dead silent.

After Chu Liuyue finished her sentence, Shangguan Jing didn’t respond for a long time.

The night sky fell, and the bright moon hung high as the moonlight relaxingly shone in through the windows and cast a long shadow of the girl’s tall and skinny figure.

The moonlight shone on her porcelain-like face, causing half of it to be in the light and the other half to be in the dark.

She looked down, and her eyes were dark like a lake that was so deep one couldn’t see the bottom of it. They were mysterious.

The night wind gently came in and curled up her sleeves.

After some time, Shangguan Jing finally sighed deeply. “Actually… I can’t confirm it either, but I faintly feel that it is similar…”

Chu Liuyue was the descendant of his bloodline, so he was naturally most familiar with this.

When he first saw her back then, he knew that this black pyramid had sealed a soul from the Shangguan family. If not, she wouldn’t have been able to avoid the Long Yuan Sword’s attacks and go underground.

In the beginning, he just thought it was some descendant’s soul and didn’t pay much attention to it. But later on, he gradually discovered that it seemed to be related to Chu Liuyue. However, he never told her about this as he didn’t have much evidence.

He didn’t expect her to bring it up herself.

“Did you discover something?” asked the Tianling Dynasty’s ancestor.

“Just the tip of an iceberg.” Chu Liuyue nodded and shook her head. If I didn’t flip through this book and incur the movement of the black pyramid, I wouldn’t have thought of this. To think that I thought it was some ancestor’s…

“It’s a pity that the seal is too strong, and I can’t open it for now.” Chu Liuyue felt slightly regretful as indignation and confusion attacked her. If my guess is true, then who exactly stored it specifically in this pyramid and even hid it in Country Yao Chen’s Imperial Mausoleum!? Also, that Master once said that this item was related to his wife and that he would temporarily leave it with me. Therefore, what is going on? Since it is related to his wife, he should know what’s inside, right?

Chu Liuyue suddenly wanted to meet that Master anxiously! She wanted to question him personally to find out what was going on!

“The person who left this seal is extremely strong. Unless you break through to become a stage-nine warrior, you won’t be able to open it…” Shangguan Jing also felt his head ache.

Chu Liuyue was his most loved descendant. If he could help, he would definitely do it without hesitation.

Chu Liuyue paused for a moment and kept the book. I must solve these mysteries one by one!

…

Knock knock.

Knocks were heard from outside.

Chu Liuyue was awakened from her deep thoughts as she walked to open the door.

The person outside was Rong Xiu.

It was late at night.

He wore a white gown, and the cold moonlight came in from behind him.

He looked at her with a deep gaze as if it contained the beautiful galaxy.

Chu Liuyue blinked before reacting and pulling him in. “Rong Xiu, why are you here?”

He left after I received that invitation in the afternoon. I didn’t expect him to come back at this hour.

Rong Xiu held her hand and walked into the study. He then simply and directly said, “I came here to bid farewell to you.”

Chu Liuyue asked in shock, “Now? Where are you going?”

Rong Xiu smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, “Something suddenly cropped up in my clan, and I need to go back to handle it.”

He is indeed going back to his mother’s clan… A portion of Chu Liuyue’s heart seemed to be dug away, and it felt empty.

The two of them were separated more often than they gathered. They finally spent time together for a month with much difficulty, and now they had to part again.

Perhaps it was because the disappointment in her eyes was too obvious, but Rong Xiu noticed it. He pushed Chu Liuyue’s loose strands of hair behind her ear as he held her face and landed a kiss on it. “Don’t worry. I’ll go to the Beiming Dynasty to look for you very soon.”

Chu Liuyue hugged his thin waist, and her voice was unclear. “Really?”

Rong Xiu squeezed her white and thin earlobe as he chuckled lowly, his voice filled with gentleness and love. “Of course, it’s true.”

Someone is so arrogant in front of my face. How can I ignore it?

“At that time, I’ll give you a big gift.”
