Chapter 1698 - 1698 Hundred Years


1698 Hundred Years


For some reason, Chu Liuyue actually heard some form of teasing from this sentence and a hint of expectation of wanting to see a good show.


This… She swallowed her remaining words. “Yes. I will definitely do my best.”


Whoos.h.!.+


The moment she said it, the person opposite her whipped their sleeves.

!!

The originally transparent book rapidly flew to Chu Liuyue. With the torn page on the left and the book on the right, they just floated in front of her quietly.


Chu Liuyue’s gaze gently swept past them.


Even though one was a thick book and the other was a thin piece of paper, their auras didn’t differ much. Additionally, upon closer inspection, she could indeed detect a familiar feeling from that book. It was no surprise since they had the same origins and source.


Chu Liuyue suddenly recalled something as she looked up and asked, “May I know how to address you, Senior?”


I’ve been here for so long, and the item is theirs. I can’t just go without knowing the other party’s name.


The person on the opposite end fell silent for a moment as if they were deep in thought. After some time, they then said, “It has been so long, and there are many things I can’t recall properly. You… can just call me Ah Jing!”


Ah Jing… This name is very vague, and I can’t differentiate if the person is male or female…


Just as Chu Liuyue was thinking in her heart, she heard the person opposite directly saying, “I’m a man.”


Chu Liuyue was speechless. I almost forgot that he could read my many thoughts!


Chu Liuyue instantly felt embarra.s.sed. “Yes, Senior Ah Jing.”


Luckily, the other party didn’t seem to mind the issue as he whipped his sleeves and sat on the ground.


A zither suddenly appeared on his knees. Following this, Chu Liuyue saw him lightly place his hands on the zither.


Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched harshly, and a bad feeling overwhelmed her heart. “Senior Ah Jing, are you going to… play the zither?”


Ah Jing glanced at her strangely. “Of course. Since we want to merge the music scores, we need the help of the zither. If we don’t even know the tune, how are you going to merge it perfectly?”


Chu Liuyue understood what he meant. “You’re saying that I have to understand this tune before I can—”


Ah Jing nodded in satisfaction. “You’re not so stupid. If that’s the case, you should be able to learn it pretty quickly.”


Even though this sounded like praise, Chu Liuyue didn’t feel happy or elated. Instead, she was uneasy. I clearly recall that I was almost shocked to the point I vomited blood when I previously heard the tune. The person is now before me, and so is the zither! One just has to think to know that the suppression will be much stronger than before!


But at this point, she could only endure it.


“Thank you, Senior…” Chu Liuyue thought for a moment and asked, “Oh right, Senior Ah Jing, may I know how long it will take to merge the two music scores?”


Rong Xiu and the rest followed me in. If it takes too long, I’m worried that they will be anxious.


Ah Jing paused in his movements, tilted his head, and sized her up.


Even though she couldn’t see his appearance and expression clearly, Chu Liuyue felt that his gaze was as sharp as a metal knife! With this look, she felt that she was totally being seen through!


“A true G.o.d, Physician, and an advanced Armory Refinement Master all in one body; you also just broke through to become a Great King Xuan Master… Your talent and sensitivity are decent. No wonder it will recognize you as its master.”


He spoke slowly, but it overwhelmed Chu Liuyue. This person just glanced at me from afar, and he already knows me so well!


At that moment, Chu Liuyue felt that she didn’t have any secrets in front of the other party!


“Even though it’s not surprising for you to have the Tianjing Yuan meridian, with the bloodline power of the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan… it is rare.” Ah Jing’s voice had a hint of satisfaction.


However, Chu Liuyue gasped in her heart. The Tianjing Yuan meridian is the best Yuan meridian, yet it seems normal and common in front of him like it isn’t surprising. Besides, he even said it in such a nonchalant and calm tone…


Chu Liuyue became increasingly curious about the other party’s ident.i.ty. However, this thought just flashed across her mind before she quickly suppressed it. No matter what, the most important thing now is to merge the two music scores.


“If everything is successful, it can end in about 80 or 100 years. But if something happens in between, the time might double.” Ah Jing used a very relaxed tone to say this.


“Hence, you mustn’t let your guard down in the middle!”


The calm expression that Chu Liuyue tried her best to maintain finally cracked after she heard these two sentences. “What?!”


If it is successful, 80 to 100 years?! If it isn’t successful, the duration will be doubled?! Then, won’t I have to wait until the cows come home!?


Ah Jing looked at her strangely. “What, do you think… there’s a problem with the time?”


Chu Liuyue was stifled. It isn’t just a problem—it is a huge problem! How old am I now? How could I invest a hundred years here?


Then, what are Rong Xiu, Tuan Zi, Father, and Mentor going to do?


Not to mention a hundred years… Even after ten years, the outside will look completely different!


“Senior Ah Jing, can you… shorten the time needed?” Chu Liuyue spoke with difficulty.


Ah Jing laughed lightly. “The timing is already short enough. Without my help, you might not even complete it in 500 years. Besides, this isn’t an ordinary music score.”


Chu Liuyue naturally knew that it wasn’t an ordinary music score, but a hundred years…


“If you insist on shortening the time taken, it’s not impossible.” As if detecting Chu Liuyue’s difficulties, Ah Jing paused and finally relented.


Chu Liuyue raised her eyes.


Ah Jing said, “I can help you quicken the flow of time here, but correspondingly, the stress and torture you have to endure will be multiplied. Are you still going to insist like this?”


“Sorry for the trouble, Senior.” Chu Liuyue gathered her focus and nodded seriously. Even if I have to experience even more pain, and even if the process is harder, I have to do it. After all, I’m no longer alone. There are many people, who love me, waiting for me. I have to go out as soon as possible!


As if expecting her choice, Ah Jing laughed lightly and shook his head. “I hope you won’t regret it…”


Chu Liuyue’s eyes were as clear as day. “I’ve never regretted anything in my life.”


It will also be the same this time!


“Okay!” Ah Jing suddenly laughed out loud. “Since you have the guts, then… I’m going to see if you have the skills!”


Not to mention others, this girl’s courage suits my taste. The key is whether she can do it!


s.h.i.+ng!


He swept his fingertips, and a zither sound pierced through the air!


Chu Liuyue’s surroundings turned cold, and she instantly felt the sudden change in the surrounding atmosphere.


The note sounded cold, and it was solemn and murderous in the surroundings!
