C127 Good-bye to Summer
"What?"
"Hehe, I'm leaving!" "Farewell."
With that, Rat-Robbing Divine Thief immediately turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the horizon.
All of the royal members looked at each other, not knowing whether they should chase after him or not.
The dignified and graceful lady held Wu Tie in one hand. Behind her mask, her bright eyes looked at Rat-Robbing Divine Thief, who had disappeared into the horizon, with a serious expression.
Then, she lowered her head to look at Chu Hen beside her. Her solemn gaze couldn't help but have a hint of complex ripples appear within it.
In the afternoon, it was close to evening!
The sunset in the west was gorgeous beyond the clouds. The beautiful fiery clouds dyed half the sky red.
At the top of a mountain, Chu Hen was lying on a rock. He was still in a coma, but his breathing had become more even. His handsome face was slightly pale.
Not far away, a graceful and beautiful figure stood silently at the edge of the cliff, her long hair as black as ink fluttering in the wind. Even though she was wearing a mask, it couldn't hide her elegance.
"Your Highness, the Heavenly Book of Holy Star has been found!"
An excited voice sounded. Dark Team Master-Hand of the royal family, led by the silver masked man, walked up to the lady one by one. In the former's hands, there was a Golden Book that was surrounded by a soft light.
After searching for nearly a day, he finally found it from the stone crevice.
All of the experts were covered in dust, as if they had just crawled out of a pile of dirt.
The woman nodded and said, "The mission is over!"
"But, Your Highness," the man with the silver mask changed his topic and looked towards Chu Hen, who was not far away. "Don't you think it's strange that this person appeared here?"
"What are you trying to say?" The woman replied in an indifferent tone.
"Your Highness, from this subordinate's guess, I think that this person is definitely in cahoots with Rat-Robbing Divine Thief. Rat-Robbing Divine Thief is delaying outside while this person intends to record down the Heavenly Book of Holy Star's copy, so …"
Killing intent flashed in the sharp eyes of the man behind the mask.
"I've already checked his Storage Ring, there's nothing suspicious."
"Your Highness, we don't necessarily need to use paper and a pen to record things. Some people are born with photographic memory. Before coming here, Divine Empress had already given the order to kill anyone who had seen the Heavenly Book of Holy Star! "
Killing without mercy.
These three words were especially cold and sharp like a bone-piercing blade.
The woman's bright eyes were filled with soft lines, her voice was still calm, "There are restrictions on the Heavenly Book of Holy Star, with his strength, he won't be able to open it."
"There is no such thing as absolute in this world. I hope Your Highness will reconsider."
"Like I said, with his strength, he won't be able to read the contents of the Heavenly Book. How many times do you need me to repeat it?"
"Your Highness, calm down!"
Sensing the cold intention in the woman's voice, the silver masked man immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, your subordinate only values the overall situation and not offended Your Highness on purpose. Please forgive me!"
The coldness in the woman's eyes lessened, and she said coldly, "Bring the Heavenly Book of Holy Star back to the Imperial Capital first! I'll take care of this matter myself. If he really did read the contents of the Heavenly Book, I'll kill him. "
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing that the woman was angry, the man with the silver mask did not dare to continue provoking her. He immediately left with the group of Dark Team Master-Hand behind him.
"Screech!"
The loud and clear cry of the eagles resonated through the nine heavens. The three Wind Shocking Snake Eagles flew up into the air with the wind, and after a while, they brought the experts of Royal Dark Team and disappeared into the sky.
The sun was setting in the west, and the evening breeze was slightly chilly.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Hen slowly opened his eyes. The pain that he felt from his body made him frown.
Where was this?
After a moment of confusion, memories from before the coma flooded into his mind.
"Xia Qing?"
Chu Hen looked at the gorgeous figure wearing a robe that stood on the edge of a cliff not far away. Chu Hen looked at the gorgeous figure wearing a robe that stood on the edge of a cliff not far away.
In that instant, a beautiful and refined face was exposed to the air.
The exquisite features were so familiar, the noble temperament was innate.
"It's really you." Chu Hen couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile on his face.
Xia Qing, back then in the Boneless Mountain Range, was the woman who had fought a great battle with the Beast King s, then unintentionally got to know Chu Hen. Although the two of them had only been together for a few short days, it could also be said to be fighting life and death together.
Chu Hen was surprised to meet someone he knew here.
Xia Qing smiled faintly as well, her bright eyes moving up and down in a mesmerizing manner.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The same words came out of their mouths at almost the same time. The two were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"I'm here to chase Rat-Robbing Divine Thief." Xia Qing answered first.
"Rat-Robbing Divine Thief?" Chu Hen was slightly surprised, but soon raised his handsome eyebrow and said, "That Old Man?"
Xia Qing frowned slightly when she heard this. Her expression turned serious as she asked, "You know him?"
"Who the hell would know him? Bastard, why did you bring me here? I was almost killed by him."
"Then why did he capture you?"
"Hmm?" Chu Hen was surprised, how should he answer?
From the looks of it, the person chasing Old Man Zi was most likely Xia Qing. In that case, wouldn't Xia Qing be sent by the Holy Star Dynasty Imperial Family?
If she knew that he was related to the Heavenly Book of Holy Star, what would the consequences be?
"What's wrong?" Xia Qing asked when Chu Hen stopped talking.
"Nothing." Chu Hen shook his head, and then answered somewhat helplessly, "Then Wu Junzi brought me here and told me to record something inside the Golden Book."
"Do you remember that?"
"No, the Golden Book could not open it at all. Later on, when I sensed that there were experts fighting outside, I did not dare to stay any longer. I just got out of the cave entrance, and the mountain behind me was blasted flat.
Chu Hen's words were seventy percent true and thirty percent false. Even though he trusted Xia Qing a lot, he had no choice but to hide the fact that he had opened the Heavenly Book of Holy Star.
After all, this matter was related to the secrets of the Holy Star Dynasty Imperial Family, so Chu Hen had no choice but to do this.
Xia Qing didn't say anything. Her watery, delicate eyes gazed at the other party silently.
Chu Hen couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I don't know!" Xia Qing's answer made Chu Hen even more confused.
Don't know?
What does that mean?
"If it was anyone else, I believe they would not be able to open that Golden Book. "But that person is you. I keep feeling that something isn't right …"
It had to be said, this woman's sixth sense was a little frightening.
Of course, Xia Qing's suspicions were not without reason. When they were at the Boneless Mountain Range, Chu Hen had survived with the Cultivation of a level nine Vein Opening Stage in the 'Blood Hunting Dragon's Essence Blood' and 'Source Spirit Liquid of the Ice Moon Demonic Wolf', the two Beast King's powers. This was enough to prove that Chu Hen was not an ordinary person.
To be honest, Xia Qing really believed that Chu Hen had opened the Heavenly Book of Holy Star.
Chu Hen's gaze turned unnatural. He didn't know her for long either! Why did he feel like he could not hide anything from the other party?
"Forget it, let's just leave this matter at that!" Xia Qing said.
"Hmm?" Chu Hen was stunned again and asked tentatively, "You aren't planning to kill me, are you?"
"If I wanted to kill you, would you be able to wake up?"
Hearing the faint hint of a joke in Xia Qing's voice, Chu Hen's worried heart was finally at ease. It seemed that he could keep his little life.
"Regardless of whether you have seen the Heavenly Book of Holy Star or not, you cannot mention this matter to anyone." Xia Qing said seriously.
"Heavenly Book of Holy Star? What is that thing? " Chu Hen asked in confusion.
Xia Qing couldn't help but find it funny. This guy really knew how to put on an act.
Chu Hen also laughed. Then, he stood up from the ground and said, "Oh yeah, did you just say that that lousy Old Man was Rat-Robbing Divine Thief?"
"En!" Xia Qing nodded her head, her red lips parted slightly, "This person has extremely strong Cultivation, and he even appeared and disappeared without a trace. Before, I heard that he had committed several heist cases in the neighboring empires, and all of them were shockingly serious. This time, no one expected that Rat-Robbing Divine Thief would come to steal from the Holy Star Dynasty royal family."
Xia Qing didn't continue her sentence because she noticed that Chu Hen was looking at her with a strange gaze.
"You're from the Imperial Family?" Chu Hen asked.
Xia Qing avoided Chu Hen's gaze and turned around. "Since you're fine now, then I don't need to continue staying here."
"Wait!"
"Why?"
"Last time at the Boneless Mountain Range, you said that you would go back to Imperial Capital City together with us, but you left halfway in the end. No matter what, you have to send me to the Holy Bell City this time! So many Demonic Beast along the way, if I were to meet any one of them, it would count as me getting really unlucky for eight lifetimes. " Chu Hen said.
Xia Qing couldn't help but smile. "I don't need to send you off. Someone has already come looking for you."
"What?"
Chu Hen was stunned. Before he could understand what was going on, he heard a slight sound of wind breaking in the forest in front of him. From afar, he could see a figure moving towards them.
"Mentor Xi Lan!"
Even though they were still far from each other, Chu Hen could still tell from her long purple hair that she was Xi Lan.
"Will we meet again?"
Chu Hen looked at Xia Qing beside him. The latter smiled at him with her clear eyes. She gently shook her head, her eyebrows slightly raised, her red lips slightly parted.
"Maybe!"
