Chapter 159 Hanging in the Air
Chapter 159 Hanging in the Air
Although Xu Qingyin spoke gently, her grandfather could also feel the firmness in her words. Moreover, although this road was very dangerous, it was the only road before him. He had no reason to refuse.
"Qingyin, I understand you. In the future, if you need anything, you must tell grandpa. It's late now, and grandpa won't disturb your rest."
When Xu Qingyin lay down, she could only feel her grandfather's deep love, but she didn't know what her grandfather might give for her.
After listening to what Xu Qingyin said, the grandfather tossed and turned and couldn't sleep that night. The next morning, he began to wander around with the power he still had.
When he tremblingly knocked on the doors of other dukes' mansions, everyone had already refused to let him in.
"Listen to me, Uncle Xu, please stop knocking. My master will definitely not open the door today. You know this normally. If I get entangled with you too much now, I will only be putting myself in danger."
The servant at the door had a melancholy look on his face, although he knew that the Xu family were loyal to the country and had made great contributions to many construction projects in the capital. Even though he was not a member of the Xu family, he was also indebted to the Xu family.
But now it was all his master's will. He was just a servant and couldn't make any decisions.
I can only continue to advise:
"Duke Xu, please listen to me. If you stop doing so much useless work, perhaps the Imperial Concubine will pay less attention to you, and the lives of everyone in your Xu family can be saved. If you insist on pushing your granddaughter to the position of Imperial Preceptor, I'm afraid your future will be difficult."
Mr. Xu shook his head:
"No, no, I can't stop. Okay, thank you for today. Since you have no other options, I'll go find someone else."
Although Lu Zhou has not ascended the throne yet, who can fail to see the direction of the wind in the court?
Even Lu Yan, who was once such a wise and powerful god of war, is now in a state of uncertainty about his life or death. This is enough to show how cruel the methods of the imperial concubine are.
If they were to become overly entangled with the Xu family now, the consequences would be disastrous.
But there are naturally some loyal ministers among them. If there is one among ten, Duke Xu will not worry about losing face.
At least all the efforts I have made are worth it, and there is still hope.
As long as she can help her granddaughter and her daughter, she would not hesitate to die, so what does it matter if she abandons these people?
Although he has now been sentenced to the same level as Lu Yan, and his influence in the court may have been reduced a lot, but if it can help her granddaughter a little, she is still willing to do her best.
In another place unknown to both of them, Lu Yan opened his eyes.
"Now that I'm here, is there anything you need me to do? You will definitely do what you promised me, right?"
Some of the things that happened here seemed as if Lu Yan had already anticipated them. He looked at the empty, yet very magical and unfamiliar space in front of him. Although he felt novel in his heart, he did not have a trace of doubt. He just wanted to know how he could help the witch relieve some of the pressure.
This magical voice had said before he came that these were the voices Xu Qingyin had heard.
Although he didn't know what it was at the time, since it came from the bracelet, he was not worried that it would cause any harm to him.
What's more, if it is the same strange things that Xu Qingyin is bound to, it means that the relationship between the two of them is closer.
It’s not that he wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Xu Qingyin, he just felt that the responsibility of saving Yun Jin was too heavy for him to bear alone. If he could also get involved and help, he would naturally be very willing to do so.
Being able to help the witch is the greatest cause in his life.
"Congratulations to the host for waking up. Bind to the rescue system of Xu Qingyin."
Hearing this, Lu Yan felt it was amazing, but also very confused:
"What is a system for saving Qingyin? She's fine, isn't she? It was me who died..."
What's more, what puzzled him most was that he had heard about the so-called system that Qingyin talked about, and the system it was bound to was the system that saved Yun Jin.
Why is he bound to the system that saved Xu Qingyin? Is there some disaster happening to the witch?
The system seemed to have sensed Lu Yan's doubts and quickly explained:
"Hello, I'm 102. Since you're traveling this time with the same jade bracelet as 101, you also have your own system. This system is to save Xu Qingyin, but this is all arranged by the system. I'm just a messenger, so I don't know the specific reason."
Hearing this, Lu Yan was speechless. He didn't expect this thing to be so unreliable. He really didn't know how the witch tolerated it.
But from what he said, he felt a little relieved that he and Xu Qingyin were indeed bound to the same system, but with different tasks.
No matter how I can have more in common with the shrine maiden, maybe I can help him sooner or later. What's more, this is a system to save the shrine maiden.
If she did a better job, the witch would surely benefit from it, right? She was already very happy to be able to help her.
"Well, forget it if I don't know. But the witch is still suffering on the other side of the world. If I complete these tasks diligently, is it possible for me to see her again?"
Although this system is not very reliable, he himself knows that getting sick during the prison break is real.
But now when he arrived at this place, all the wounds on his body had disappeared.
No matter what, it was this system that gave him a second life, so he still felt a little grateful.
"This... this... this... this... might be a little difficult, but meeting her is part of your system mission. It's actually quite simple when you put it this way. Oops, my language function is almost messed up, so you might not understand it, but I think you'll understand it soon."
Just after he said this, before Lu Yan could continue asking questions, when he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at a very magical place.
It was a huge pool, but he was hanging in the middle.
It's so strange, this world is so strange.
Fortunately, the water was shallow. When he opened his eyes, he saw the words on the wall:
Water depth 1.5m.
So shallow? Then why... was he hanging in the air?
