On that day, or after that sentence, although Gu Chi and Shen Ye may still meet each other in the temple every day, after all, the scope of activities of the temple is so large...but the former paused slightly , while the latter walked straight past with a cold face without any change.
And this situation lasts for several years.
"Xiaoxi, where have you been?" The handsome young man, who could not see anyone in the palace, frowned, and was about to go out to find someone...but when he turned around, he saw that he was about to The person you were looking for was coming in through the door.
The little girl walked up to the young man, raised her head and opened her dark eyes, and replied, "I'm going to find Lord Tianxiang."
Shen Ye: "..."
"Brother..." Shen Xi raised her hand and grabbed the corner of the person in front of her, wanting to say something more.But the other party probably knew what she wanted to say, and his face turned slightly cold, which made it impossible for Shen Xi to speak out.
In these years, she couldn't remember how many times she had asked the person she liked very much and now she liked 'Why didn't Master Tianxiang save Xiaoxi and brother' after repeated amnesia.
Although she still often forgets some things now, it is no longer like at the beginning... she can only remember what happened in the past three days.She could remember that every time she asked the young man that question in the past, the young man would lower his eyebrows for a moment, and then try to coax her until she accepted the needle obediently.
Her body still can't grow, but other than that, everything else is getting better and close to recovery.
She went to see the young man again this morning, and the young man told her that after a while, she would never forget things again.
Since the memory problem was gradually resolved, Shen Xi remembered what the young man had done for her in these years, and his eyes would never lie. When the other party looked at her, his eyes were gentle and full of concern...
"Okay, brother is going to study spells again." Shen Ye was silent for a while, then raised his hand to pat the little girl's head.He believes more in what he sees and hears with his own eyes.
After finishing speaking, Shen Ye was ready to return to the secret room.
What he hated to learn in the past has nothing to do with his preferences now, but he must learn it well.
On the other side, Gu Chi had just walked out of the temple, and there was a child who seemed to be only six or seven years old waiting outside, but he squatted down while waiting... It seemed that he was carefully giving a flower pine tree. earth.
At this time, it seemed that he had encountered some difficulties. He paused and lowered his head slightly to think.
Gu Chi looked a little amused, walked over and squatted down in front of the flower, reached out and approached the root of the flower that was half exposed after the child loosened the soil, and a warm light flashed on his hand for a moment.
"It's cured."
Hearing the familiar and gentle voice, the young figure nodded, then slightly lowered his brows and said: "Master Tianxiang, please wait for me a little longer, I will be fine soon."
Watching the child carefully fill the flower with soil again, Gu Chi replied softly, "No rush."
Just looking at what the child is doing now, it is not difficult for Gu Chi to imagine what kind of person he will grow up to be in the future.In the future he knows, the other party has indeed grown into a gentle and elegant person who is as warm as the spring breeze in March.
But when I was a child... I was still quite playful, but it didn't hurt.
"Phew, it's done." The child stood up, patted the dust on his hands, smiled and said to the young man next to him: "Master Tianxiang, let's go?"
Gu Chi nodded. He promised the other party a few days ago that he would take him to see the Yanjia furnace erected in the center of the city.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that the request made by the child in front of him is not accurate. In fact, Gu Chi deliberately guided the other party to do this matter, but the other party's own interest in it is indeed very strong.
Yanjia Furnace is a large building, except for the priests who come here to provide its spiritual power, there are guards around it.
"Master Tianxiang." The patrolling guards only bowed their heads respectfully when they saw the person coming, and didn't say anything else, naturally they didn't care about the fact that the young man was accompanied by a child.
Gu Chi nodded lightly at them, then looked down at the child who was staring at Yanjialu intently, and said, "Xie Yi..."
Gu Chi stopped speaking after only calling his name.He is still thinking about what kind of words to use to make the other party interested in Yanshu in advance...
If there is anyone who can change the fate of Liuyue City, it must be the one right in front of his eyes.Although the other party failed in the original trajectory, if he could buy more time for it, maybe everything would be different.
However, during the short period of Gu Chi's thinking, Xie Yi, who had been fascinated by the Yanjia furnace, turned his head after hearing the call, his eyes were bright: "Master Tianxiang, I want to learn Yanshu."
It is this thing in front of us that saves the clansmen from being tortured by the bad weather as before when the severe cold freezes after June.
He was discussing academic methods with his father at home before, and when the weather was going to be colder than usual, he saw that the hands of the house-cleaning waiter holding the broom were red from the cold, so he used spells to keep warm.
However, there are so many servants in the house, and each of them suffers from the cold, but his spells can only help one of them. This obvious problem made Xie Yi feel a little frustrated... until a few days later, he found that the weather seemed to be getting warmer suddenly , asked the elders in the family, and knew that it was the Yanjia stove in the center of the city that played the role.
He can only help one person with his technique, but Yanshu can help many people at the same time. He wants to learn Yanshu.
Gu Chi: "..."
Well, stop thinking.
"Okay, then starting tomorrow, I will teach you some simple hagan techniques." Gu Chi nodded in agreement.By the way, he even taught Tiangongmen together.
In fact, Gu Chi is not proficient in Yanshu, and he was able to design this Yanjia furnace thanks to the Tiangongmen technique he dabbled in when he was in Wanhua Valley.
Some things in Tiangongmenshu are not in Yanshu, and vice versa.The effect of the two complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses seems to be pretty good so far.
Given the child's talent in hagana, he must soon be able to surpass him in attainment.
Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would have to play tricks or lobby a lot to get the young man in front of him to agree to his request, but he didn't expect the young man to agree so straightforwardly.
"En! I will study hard." Although he knew that the young man would not go back on his word if he agreed, Xie Yi still promised sincerely.He wanted to help more people, not just the servants at home, but also other people in the city.
At this time, Gu Chi checked the system panel, and the tasks that had been stagnant for a long time had changed accordingly.
"Task 200000: Change the fate of Liuyue City's fall and death, the task rewards 21 moonstones, and the completion rate is [-]%"
This is the only new task that Gu Chi has received since returning to the Ancient Sword World. The previous two tasks were Wumeng Lingu and Qinchuan, both of which were still in the state of three question marks.
It is very difficult to make Liuyue City not fall or perish... Gu Chi is not surprised by the reward for completing this task.Before the change just now, the completion of this mission was stuck at 13% for several years.
It's just that the improvement in the degree of completion made him confirm once again that what he wants to change must start with the key person in front of him now.He needs to buy more time for the other party to solve the problem.
The subsequent things progressed as Gu Chi expected. It only took Xie Yi four short years to master Yanshu and Tiangongmen, and he had a lot of new understandings on top of the two.
Four years later, Xie Yi will be 11 years old, which will usher in the most important turning point in his life.
In this year...
"Ahan, didn't I just tell you three days ago...don't use the ancient secret technique anymore, your body can't hold it." Gu Chi pressed the hand of the white-robed priest on the seat to prevent him from doing it again. start writing.There were piles of papers waiting to be reviewed on the table, and the other party had used ancient secret techniques for days to review these things, and his figure had already lost a lot of weight.
The white-robed priest was not wearing a mask to cover his eyes, but the gray-black eyes that recovered after using the secret technique were extremely silent: "The city lord has passed away, rumors and rumors are spreading in the city, and people's hearts are unstable. I have to deal with these things."
Even a trusted person can't hand over the affairs in hand, he can only handle them personally.To suppress the already agitated city lord faction and others, he has no time to rest, nor can he rest.
After finishing speaking, looking at the still disapproving expression on the young man's face, the white-robed priest slightly curved his lips and smiled lightly.He said to the young man calmly and indifferently: "The rumors about the secret agreement are true."
Gu Chi: "..."
Since the death of the city lord, some people in the city have secretly circulated the secret agreement. The content of the secret agreement is simply that if the city lord dies, the high priest who established a secret agreement with him will soon follow him and die of exhaustion.
"How could the city lord..." Gu Chi was still slightly startled.
The reason why he said this is because he has not had little contact with Canglan. As a heavenly priest who directly obeys the city lord, he has many opportunities to contact the city lord.During the frequent contact, Gu Chi has a general understanding of what kind of person the other party is. Generally speaking, he is a very enlightened ruler.
How could there be such a secret agreement...that the high priest should die with him when he died?
"In the beginning, it was to reassure those people, but I didn't expect what would happen today." Shen Han's voice was very light, as if he didn't care much about the current situation.
When Cang Lan mentioned the secret agreement to him, he agreed voluntarily.When he first succeeded to the position of high priest, the people from the city lord's faction held back him everywhere, and after making the secret agreement, most of the obstacles were reduced.
"Look, whether I use this ancient secret technique or not, I can only live for a few more days. So let me take care of these things in the remaining few days." When the white-robed priest said these words, The expression on the handsome and cold face is very complicated. On the one hand, it seems to be obsessed with something that is not at ease, and on the other hand, there is a trace of relaxation in the slightly curved lips.
After only a few days, Gu Chi saw the figure of the white-robed priest gradually thinner, and his handsome face became old and wrinkled... He tried several times to release the secret bond that was bound to his body. But that secret contract is also an ancient secret technique, once established, there is no room for change.
At this time, Shen Han couldn't even sit down, he could only lie on the bed, instead of just standing there like in the past, it gave people a full sense of coldness and oppression.He was lying quietly on the bed now, but he didn't have the twilight-like lifelessness like a dying person.
In the quiet night, Gu Chi came to the palace where the high priest was again. Apart from Shen Han who was lying on the bed, there was only one person guarding him.
After walking in, Gu Chi said to the young woman who was guarding near the bed: "I'll be guarding instead, you go and rest."
The young woman was Huayue, she stood up from the stone bench when she saw the person coming, and she lowered her head slightly when she heard the words, and said 'yes' in a low voice.
The white-robed priest on the bed opened his eyes at this moment, and the gray-black eyes were rarely tired.It's not that he doesn't get tired, it's just that he doesn't in normal times.
Looking at the approaching young man, Shen Han was silent for a while, and then the target said directly: "I'm not here, please take care of them for me."
"I'm asking as a friend, or you can treat me as a dying caregiver." When he said the last four words, his expression remained unchanged. Joking words.
Hearing that word, Gu Chi was speechless for a moment, held back for a while before replying: "My child is taken care of by myself, how can you be like this..."
Shen Han nodded, "You agreed."
"I can keep my eyes open for about three days." Being able to clearly feel the continuous exhaustion of his body, Shen Han calculated his remaining time.Waiting for death feels like waiting for the night to come, and when it does come, you will fall asleep in the eternal night and never wake up again.
For the next three days, Gu Chi was also on guard, and the white-robed priest lying quietly on the bed would occasionally open his eyes and look towards the door, as if waiting for someone to come over.
Gu Chi naturally noticed the slightly frequent movements of the person on the bed, and couldn't help saying, "I need to go..."
"No." Interrupting the young man's words, Shen Han closed his eyes again, his cold voice like Dongquan was now slightly hoarse due to the illness: "No need."
The room was silent for a long time.
"Hate me... that's the best."
Gu Chi: "..."
to the last moment.
The breath of the white-robed priest on the bed was so weak that it was almost undetectable. He calmly closed his eyes and endured the pain. Only the slight ups and downs of his chest showed that he was still alive, but maybe this low ups and downs would stop in the next moment.
Opening his eyes for the last time, he still looked at the door, but there was still no one there.
Gu Chi was silent for a while, stood up and approached the edge of the bed, lowered his head and said to the other party: "In the bright stone mirror on the altar, I can see...the future where neither you nor I exist, they are living well. "
"yes."
Shen Han's eyes were a little blank, and it was difficult for his exhausted body to maintain the ancient secret technique.But then he gave an almost inaudible 'hmm' and said in a low voice, "That's good."
After speaking, he closed his eyes as if extremely tired, and these eyes have not been opened since then...
The city lord died, and the position of the city lord was succeeded by his daughter Cangming according to the tradition of hereditary blood.But the high priest died, and the successor was selected through trials from multiple candidates.
"You dare not even attend the High Priest's Examination, you're asking me to say something about you..." Gu Chi shook his head lightly at the man in the wheelchair, half helplessly, half knowingly.
Helplessly, even if other people don't want to sit in that seat, they will go to the trial to show others.It turned out that the person in front of him was fine, and he was absent...I don't know how he was discussed by the people from the city lord's faction afterwards, probably saying that he was rude, contemptuous and so on.
Clearly it is... He looked at the person in front of him from his youth to the present, and he was not surprised that he would do this.
Tong Tong's fingers were still touching a petal, and she raised her head slightly after hearing the words: "Didn't you already know that?"
His eyes were extremely cold, and the pale and handsome man on the wheelchair continued to say indifferently, "The seat of the Qisha priest is very good, the high priest... There are too many troublesome things to deal with, I don't like it."
With the time to deal with those troublesome things, he might be able to develop a few more bugs, otherwise, he could also conduct a few more experiments.
Gu Chi slightly turned his head to cover his lips and coughed for a while, but when he heard what the person in the wheelchair said, his brows and eyes curved slightly.
"The results of today's trial have come out...is it Shen Ye?" When Tong said this, he almost used an affirmative tone.Among the candidates, he only had an impression of Shen Ye, because the others were too weak.
Gu Chi paused for a moment, then nodded.
The trial of the high priest will be held on the second day after the death of the previous high priest. There is no extra time for sentimentality. Gu Chi is already preparing to face the first turmoil that will happen in Liuyue City... just a few days later. On the grand ceremony.
Seeing the young man in front of him suddenly frown slightly, Tong stood up from the wheelchair. Under the young man's questioning eyes, he raised his hand, and gently pressed the cool fingertips between the young man's brows.
"Why are you frowning." Although it contained the word 'why', this cold voice was not asking.The pale but slender and beautiful fingers moved, trying to smooth the eyebrows.
The two were quite close, and Hitomi stood up a little taller than the young man who was a lot taller than him.There is no change in the expression on the face when doing this action, it looks very plain and natural.
"There is someone or something you don't like, if you don't want to do it..."
Pausing for words, Hitomi looked into the young man's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a slight smile appeared on his cold face: "I can help you solve it."
If it's about the person in front of him, he won't find it troublesome, and he's willing to spend time on it... Anyway, it won't take much time.
"It's nothing." Gu Chi shook his head again, then pressed the other person's shoulder, signaling him to sit down: "Don't stand for a long time, especially if the weather is bad these days...it will hurt if you stand for a long time."
"Oh." Hitomi responded, but obediently sat back on the wheelchair.
At the succession ceremony that finally came, the current city lord Cang Ming fell into a deep sleep in the wood and was unable to preside over it. The person who presided over the ceremony became the older generation of the city lord faction.
Gu Chi looked at the person who was very similar to the white-robed priest even when he was reciting the incantation, now he was wearing a completely different dark black priest's robe, and the small wooden staff was probably sealed in a For places that are difficult to find, the opponent does not use a staff now, but is accustomed to using a sword.
Gu Chi and the other high-ranking priests were standing at the bottom of the steps. He was watching the surrounding situation with his eyes shut. So far...nothing happened.
The high-ranking priests standing on both sides of the platform lowered their heads slightly, and Gu Chi was no exception. Then he saw the black robe corners as far as he could see, and heard the sound of the other party's footsteps on the steps.
When will the attack be chosen?
Of course when the target is most obvious.
Gu Chi thought so, so when he heard the sound of footsteps stepping up the steps, all his attention was fixed on the person who was walking up the high platform.
And as expected, when the black figure stepped onto the last step and stood on the high platform...
Dozens of people under the ranks acted at the same time without hesitation at this moment, and at this moment, a group of people who had nothing to do with the succession ceremony suddenly appeared in the originally empty square, forming a siege.
But just as several advanced spells were advancing towards the high platform with lightning speed, the people who had been on guard for this moment for a long time also moved.
Shen Ye: "..."
This moment of silence was not because of the sudden turmoil, but because of what he saw in front of him, the person who stood in front of him at the first moment...
And this situation lasts for several years.
"Xiaoxi, where have you been?" The handsome young man, who could not see anyone in the palace, frowned, and was about to go out to find someone...but when he turned around, he saw that he was about to The person you were looking for was coming in through the door.
The little girl walked up to the young man, raised her head and opened her dark eyes, and replied, "I'm going to find Lord Tianxiang."
Shen Ye: "..."
"Brother..." Shen Xi raised her hand and grabbed the corner of the person in front of her, wanting to say something more.But the other party probably knew what she wanted to say, and his face turned slightly cold, which made it impossible for Shen Xi to speak out.
In these years, she couldn't remember how many times she had asked the person she liked very much and now she liked 'Why didn't Master Tianxiang save Xiaoxi and brother' after repeated amnesia.
Although she still often forgets some things now, it is no longer like at the beginning... she can only remember what happened in the past three days.She could remember that every time she asked the young man that question in the past, the young man would lower his eyebrows for a moment, and then try to coax her until she accepted the needle obediently.
Her body still can't grow, but other than that, everything else is getting better and close to recovery.
She went to see the young man again this morning, and the young man told her that after a while, she would never forget things again.
Since the memory problem was gradually resolved, Shen Xi remembered what the young man had done for her in these years, and his eyes would never lie. When the other party looked at her, his eyes were gentle and full of concern...
"Okay, brother is going to study spells again." Shen Ye was silent for a while, then raised his hand to pat the little girl's head.He believes more in what he sees and hears with his own eyes.
After finishing speaking, Shen Ye was ready to return to the secret room.
What he hated to learn in the past has nothing to do with his preferences now, but he must learn it well.
On the other side, Gu Chi had just walked out of the temple, and there was a child who seemed to be only six or seven years old waiting outside, but he squatted down while waiting... It seemed that he was carefully giving a flower pine tree. earth.
At this time, it seemed that he had encountered some difficulties. He paused and lowered his head slightly to think.
Gu Chi looked a little amused, walked over and squatted down in front of the flower, reached out and approached the root of the flower that was half exposed after the child loosened the soil, and a warm light flashed on his hand for a moment.
"It's cured."
Hearing the familiar and gentle voice, the young figure nodded, then slightly lowered his brows and said: "Master Tianxiang, please wait for me a little longer, I will be fine soon."
Watching the child carefully fill the flower with soil again, Gu Chi replied softly, "No rush."
Just looking at what the child is doing now, it is not difficult for Gu Chi to imagine what kind of person he will grow up to be in the future.In the future he knows, the other party has indeed grown into a gentle and elegant person who is as warm as the spring breeze in March.
But when I was a child... I was still quite playful, but it didn't hurt.
"Phew, it's done." The child stood up, patted the dust on his hands, smiled and said to the young man next to him: "Master Tianxiang, let's go?"
Gu Chi nodded. He promised the other party a few days ago that he would take him to see the Yanjia furnace erected in the center of the city.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that the request made by the child in front of him is not accurate. In fact, Gu Chi deliberately guided the other party to do this matter, but the other party's own interest in it is indeed very strong.
Yanjia Furnace is a large building, except for the priests who come here to provide its spiritual power, there are guards around it.
"Master Tianxiang." The patrolling guards only bowed their heads respectfully when they saw the person coming, and didn't say anything else, naturally they didn't care about the fact that the young man was accompanied by a child.
Gu Chi nodded lightly at them, then looked down at the child who was staring at Yanjialu intently, and said, "Xie Yi..."
Gu Chi stopped speaking after only calling his name.He is still thinking about what kind of words to use to make the other party interested in Yanshu in advance...
If there is anyone who can change the fate of Liuyue City, it must be the one right in front of his eyes.Although the other party failed in the original trajectory, if he could buy more time for it, maybe everything would be different.
However, during the short period of Gu Chi's thinking, Xie Yi, who had been fascinated by the Yanjia furnace, turned his head after hearing the call, his eyes were bright: "Master Tianxiang, I want to learn Yanshu."

"En! I will study hard." Although he knew that the young man would not go back on his word if he agreed, Xie Yi still promised sincerely.He wanted to help more people, not just the servants at home, but also other people in the city.
At this time, Gu Chi checked the system panel, and the tasks that had been stagnant for a long time had changed accordingly.
"Task 200000: Change the fate of Liuyue City's fall and death, the task rewards 21 moonstones, and the completion rate is [-]%"
This is the only new task that Gu Chi has received since returning to the Ancient Sword World. The previous two tasks were Wumeng Lingu and Qinchuan, both of which were still in the state of three question marks.

The subsequent things progressed as Gu Chi expected. It only took Xie Yi four short years to master Yanshu and Tiangongmen, and he had a lot of new understandings on top of the two.
Four years later, Xie Yi will be 11 years old, which will usher in the most important turning point in his life.
In this year...
"Ahan, didn't I just tell you three days ago...don't use the ancient secret technique anymore, your body can't hold it." Gu Chi pressed the hand of the white-robed priest on the seat to prevent him from doing it again. start writing.There were piles of papers waiting to be reviewed on the table, and the other party had used ancient secret techniques for days to review these things, and his figure had already lost a lot of weight.

Gu Chi: "..."
Since the death of the city lord, some people in the city have secretly circulated the secret agreement. The content of the secret agreement is simply that if the city lord dies, the high priest who established a secret agreement with him will soon follow him and die of exhaustion.
"How could the city lord..." Gu Chi was still slightly startled.
The reason why he said this is because he has not had little contact with Canglan. As a heavenly priest who directly obeys the city lord, he has many opportunities to contact the city lord.During the frequent contact, Gu Chi has a general understanding of what kind of person the other party is. Generally speaking, he is a very enlightened ruler.

He tried several times to release the secret bond that was bound to his body. But that secret contract is also an ancient secret technique, once established, there is no room for change.
At this time, Shen Han couldn't even sit down, he could only lie on the bed, instead of just standing there like in the past, it gave people a full sense of coldness and oppression.He was lying quietly on the bed now, but he didn't have the twilight-like lifelessness like a dying person.
In the quiet night, Gu Chi came to the palace where the high priest was again. Apart from Shen Han who was lying on the bed, there was only one person guarding him.
After walking in, Gu Chi said to the young woman who was guarding near the bed: "I'll be guarding instead, you go and rest."
The young woman was Huayue, she stood up from the stone bench when she saw the person coming, and she lowered her head slightly when she heard the words, and said 'yes' in a low voice.
The white-robed priest on the bed opened his eyes at this moment, and the gray-black eyes were rarely tired.It's not that he doesn't get tired, it's just that he doesn't in normal times.
Looking at the approaching young man, Shen Han was silent for a while, and then the target said directly: "I'm not here, please take care of them for me."
"I'm asking as a friend, or you can treat me as a dying caregiver." When he said the last four words, his expression remained unchanged. Joking words.
Hearing that word, Gu Chi was speechless for a moment, held back for a while before replying: "My child is taken care of by myself, how can you be like this..."
Shen Han nodded, "You agreed."
"I can keep my eyes open for about three days." Being able to clearly feel the continuous exhaustion of his body, Shen Han calculated his remaining time.Waiting for death feels like waiting for the night to come, and when it does come, you will fall asleep in the eternal night and never wake up again.
For the next three days, Gu Chi was also on guard, and the white-robed priest lying quietly on the bed would occasionally open his eyes and look towards the door, as if waiting for someone to come over.
Gu Chi naturally noticed the slightly frequent movements of the person on the bed, and couldn't help saying, "I need to go..."
"No." Interrupting the young man's words, Shen Han closed his eyes again, his cold voice like Dongquan was now slightly hoarse due to the illness: "No need."
The room was silent for a long time.
"Hate me... that's the best."
Gu Chi: "..."
to the last moment.
The breath of the white-robed priest on the bed was so weak that it was almost undetectable. He calmly closed his eyes and endured the pain. Only the slight ups and downs of his chest showed that he was still alive, but maybe this low ups and downs would stop in the next moment.
Opening his eyes for the last time, he still looked at the door, but there was still no one there.
Gu Chi was silent for a while, stood up and approached the edge of the bed, lowered his head and said to the other party: "In the bright stone mirror on the altar, I can see...the future where neither you nor I exist, they are living well. "
"yes."
Shen Han's eyes were a little blank, and it was difficult for his exhausted body to maintain the ancient secret technique.But then he gave an almost inaudible 'hmm' and said in a low voice, "That's good."
After speaking, he closed his eyes as if extremely tired, and these eyes have not been opened since then...
The city lord died, and the position of the city lord was succeeded by his daughter Cangming according to the tradition of hereditary blood.But the high priest died, and the successor was selected through trials from multiple candidates.
"You dare not even attend the High Priest's Examination, you're asking me to say something about you..." Gu Chi shook his head lightly at the man in the wheelchair, half helplessly, half knowingly.
Helplessly, even if other people don't want to sit in that seat, they will go to the trial to show others.It turned out that the person in front of him was fine, and he was absent...I don't know how he was discussed by the people from the city lord's faction afterwards, probably saying that he was rude, contemptuous and so on.
Clearly it is... He looked at the person in front of him from his youth to the present, and he was not surprised that he would do this.
Tong Tong's fingers were still touching a petal, and she raised her head slightly after hearing the words: "Didn't you already know that?"
His eyes were extremely cold, and the pale and handsome man on the wheelchair continued to say indifferently, "The seat of the Qisha priest is very good, the high priest... There are too many troublesome things to deal with, I don't like it."
With the time to deal with those troublesome things, he might be able to develop a few more bugs, otherwise, he could also conduct a few more experiments.
Gu Chi slightly turned his head to cover his lips and coughed for a while, but when he heard what the person in the wheelchair said, his brows and eyes curved slightly.
"The results of today's trial have come out...is it Shen Ye?" When Tong said this, he almost used an affirmative tone.Among the candidates, he only had an impression of Shen Ye, because the others were too weak.
Gu Chi paused for a moment, then nodded.
The trial of the high priest will be held on the second day after the death of the previous high priest. There is no extra time for sentimentality. Gu Chi is already preparing to face the first turmoil that will happen in Liuyue City... just a few days later. On the grand ceremony.
Seeing the young man in front of him suddenly frown slightly, Tong stood up from the wheelchair. Under the young man's questioning eyes, he raised his hand, and gently pressed the cool fingertips between the young man's brows.
"Why are you frowning." Although it contained the word 'why', this cold voice was not asking.The pale but slender and beautiful fingers moved, trying to smooth the eyebrows.
The two were quite close, and Hitomi stood up a little taller than the young man who was a lot taller than him.There is no change in the expression on the face when doing this action, it looks very plain and natural.
"There is someone or something you don't like, if you don't want to do it..."
Pausing for words, Hitomi looked into the young man's eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a slight smile appeared on his cold face: "I can help you solve it."
If it's about the person in front of him, he won't find it troublesome, and he's willing to spend time on it... Anyway, it won't take much time.
"It's nothing." Gu Chi shook his head again, then pressed the other person's shoulder, signaling him to sit down: "Don't stand for a long time, especially if the weather is bad these days...it will hurt if you stand for a long time."
"Oh." Hitomi responded, but obediently sat back on the wheelchair.
At the succession ceremony that finally came, the current city lord Cang Ming fell into a deep sleep in the wood and was unable to preside over it. The person who presided over the ceremony became the older generation of the city lord faction.
Gu Chi looked at the person who was very similar to the white-robed priest even when he was reciting the incantation, now he was wearing a completely different dark black priest's robe, and the small wooden staff was probably sealed in a For places that are difficult to find, the opponent does not use a staff now, but is accustomed to using a sword.
Gu Chi and the other high-ranking priests were standing at the bottom of the steps. He was watching the surrounding situation with his eyes shut. So far...nothing happened.
The high-ranking priests standing on both sides of the platform lowered their heads slightly, and Gu Chi was no exception. Then he saw the black robe corners as far as he could see, and heard the sound of the other party's footsteps on the steps.
When will the attack be chosen?
Of course when the target is most obvious.
Gu Chi thought so, so when he heard the sound of footsteps stepping up the steps, all his attention was fixed on the person who was walking up the high platform.
And as expected, when the black figure stepped onto the last step and stood on the high platform...
Dozens of people under the ranks acted at the same time without hesitation at this moment, and at this moment, a group of people who had nothing to do with the succession ceremony suddenly appeared in the originally empty square, forming a siege.
But just as several advanced spells were advancing towards the high platform with lightning speed, the people who had been on guard for this moment for a long time also moved.
Shen Ye: "..."
This moment of silence was not because of the sudden turmoil, but because of what he saw in front of him, the person who stood in front of him at the first moment...
