Chapter three hundred and eighteen the plan of the deserted city
As night falls, the lanterns begin to light up.
Huangcheng once again fell into a festive carnival, and the Mermaid Club in Huaqing District was no exception. The lights were brightly lit, and there were a lot of people. In the lobby boxes on each floor, there were all sensual dogs and horses, enjoying themselves in time.
Looking through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows at the nearly crazy gamblers downstairs, Starscream was not in the happy mood of the past.
The smokers and Gou Ye on the side also looked solemn.
After a long while, Starscream finally couldn't hold it in anymore and turned around: "You guys should tell me, what is the relationship between that man and the master?"
The smoker's expression became complicated and he murmured in a low voice: "That must be the case. He, like his master, is an immortal being. Otherwise, how could a young man under the age of twenty have mastered the mind zone?"
Mr. Gou's eyes flickered: "I always feel that the master reacted a little strangely when he saw him."
Starscream didn't respond and remained silent.
Didn't she feel that the master's reaction when seeing that person was abnormal and slightly unwilling?
She and the two old guys beside her have been following their master for nearly twenty years, but it was only in the past half month that they finally determined the master's true identity - a grandmaster, and a very powerful master at that.
If she wasn't strong enough, how could she have caused a turmoil in the capital in just half a month, and made everyone in the Grandmaster's family feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Silver hair, a young girl, an eighth-level master... these three labels combined together are the real owner of the Mermaid Club who has rarely appeared in the past ten years.
Why would such a powerful master show such emotions when facing that young man?
Starscream already had a rough answer in mind, but she really didn't like the answer.
At this time, in the topmost box of the Mermaid Club, next to a circle of huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Zhou Yue was also waiting for the answer he wanted.
However, Shang Ying has been immersed in depression and depression ever since she came here.
No matter how I asked her, she always looked depressed and groaned.
However, Zhou Yue roughly understood something.
Shang Ying was indeed injured, but after the injury was concealed, she was not kidnapped, but was picked up and sent back to Huangcheng by her men.
At this point, Zhou Yue would not blame the Little Iron Duke too much. After all, the time given to him to search for information was very limited, and it was understandable that the analysis was not in place.
However, Zhou Yue was still a little depressed.
When he learned from the young duke that his subordinate, who had high hopes for him, had been kidnapped, he felt a little worried.
It is conceivable that when a few hours ago, he "saw" through his senses that Shang Ying was lying on the most comfortable bed in the most luxurious box of this club, enjoying the tea and water served by the four maids around him.
During the massage, I felt so angry and embarrassed!
As for the Mermaid Club, it was a "lair" that Shang Ying secretly built when he came out of seclusion twenty years ago and rescued Starscream and others in distress when they came to the deserted city. With the help of resources delivered by merchants.
Although Shang Ying adopts a free-range attitude towards this secret stronghold, he has rarely visited it in more than ten years.
But Starscream and others have always been loyal to Shang Ying.
From this alone, we can see that although Shang Ying is emotionally unstable, her scheming is by no means as simple as the innocent girl on the surface.
She had set up this secret mission on the banks of the capital for twenty years, and she also expected that one day in the future, she would come to the capital and need a secret place to stay, or even a place to recuperate.
So, now comes the problem.
What is the most fundamental reason for Shang Ying to come to the capital?
She keeps causing trouble in the Grandmaster family, and why?
"Can you please be more relaxed? This is not your style at all."
Zhou Yue looked helplessly at the dejected girl in front of him, really not knowing what to say.
Suddenly, Shang Ying's body froze.
The moonlight is falling, like mercury, covering the girl's silver hair, as if dancing in the hair.
Shang Ying suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth, and stared at Zhou Yue: "If I tell you the truth, what good will it do to me?"
Changed, changed! Finally turned back into a grumpy girl!
Zhou Yue was secretly happy that compared to the depressed girl before, Shang Ying in her irritable state was better at communicating.
"You have sworn by your state of mind before. From now on, you will serve me as Zhou Yue's sect. Your business is my business. Alas, I was naive enough to think that you really regarded me as one of your own."
Zhou Yue's tone of words, full of exclamations, suddenly changed: "However, since you are a hypocrite and have come to the capital, why do you want to use the name of 'immortal organization'? Shang Ying, Shang Ying, you are also a master after all, how can you be so duplicitous?
"
The girl opposite who was already a bit irritable heard Zhou Yue's words and was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face turned red.
"You fart! Since when did I, Shang Ying, double-faced? I said I would do things for you, and I will definitely fulfill my promise! But, I don't want to be like now, wandering back and forth between two different souls! That's why
I chose to come to the capital! But I never expected that the grand master families in the capital would become more bastards than the last! They would turn against each other and deny anyone! These bastards! Idiots! When I regain my strength, I will not let them go!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yue vaguely understood something in his heart.
If Shang Ying is not acting and not lying to herself, then the purpose of her coming to the capital is to treat "split personality"?
Zhou Yue pondered: "A family descended from a grandmaster in the capital, is there any way I can help you get back to normal?"
Shang Ying stared at Zhou Yue, her eyes widened, and suspicion flashed in her eyes: "Are you serious and don't mind if I return to normal?"
Zhou Yue smiled and said: "Of course. Who would want their subordinates to constantly switch personalities?"
Shang Ying looked at Zhou Yue for a while, then said coldly: "Huh, if you lose control of your emotions, wouldn't it be easier to control them?"
Zhou Yue was stunned: "You refuse to explain the reason to me. Are you worried about this?"
This Shang Ying is really thoughtful.
It seems that switching personalities and unstable moods did not have a big impact on her IQ.
Under Zhou Yue's questioning, Shang Ying finally revealed everything.
"I came to the capital to find a descendant of Grandmaster Sun Hong, who was known as the God of Medicine in the past!"
"Grandmaster Sun Hong has a spiritual plant. It is a special variety found from outside the world in the past. It blooms in thirty years and bears fruit in seventy years. This fruit is called 'Man Luo Huan'!"
"The prescription developed based on 'Man Luo Huan' has a high probability of curing my injury. Grandmaster Sun and I have made an agreement that if I am still alive when the Man Luo Huan ends, I will
Refining the antidote. If the Grand Master has passed away, the Grand Master’s successor will do it for you!”
"I calculated the time, and it happened to be the time when the Manluo Fantasy came to fruition in the near future, so I planned to look for the descendants of Grandmaster Sun. However, the whereabouts of the direct descendants of Grandmaster are a mystery! Only the Grandmaster Descendants Alliance will know!
"
"That's why I came to the capital! But guess what, not only did they not tell me! They also refused to recognize my identity!"
"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"
Zhou Yue looked at Shang Ying, who was restless and angry, with a strange expression: "That's why you keep coming to provoke the grandmaster's descendant family? You want to force the whereabouts of the grandmaster's descendants? But since you made a pact with grandmaster sun, why don't you know about it?
What happened to his descendants?”
Shang Ying was startled: "Yes! How could I not know? Why didn't I know..."
Gradually, Shang Ying's mood became depressed, and she slowly squatted down, lowered her head, and said nothing.
Zhou Yue stared at the silver-haired girl holding her knees at his feet.
If everything she said was true, then it was hard for me to blame her.
The strength of Shang Ying who has returned to normal is higher than that of Shang Ying who had a split personality. As for whether she can control it or not, and whether she will fulfill her promise, it is not determined by her emotions.
But it's up to you to decide.
"Shang Ying, there are only two reasons why the descendants of the Capital Grandmaster refuse to tell you. Either they don't know, or they are afraid of you and don't want you to recover. Therefore, even if you continue to provoke, it will not be useful. On the contrary, just
They will find out the truth and dispatch stronger masters to deal with you."
Zhou Yue said calmly.
Shang Ying's body trembled, her long silver hair fell down, and her head drooped lower: "So, this is the only way I can go on..."
"However, I do have another way to help you find the descendants of Senior Sun Hong." Zhou Yue said.
Shang Ying suddenly raised her head, looked at Zhou Yue complicatedly, and muttered: "What... what method?"
Zhou Yue smiled: "Although the Grandmaster Alliance refuses to recognize your identity, you, Shang Ying, are a legitimate student of Grandmaster Bai Yan. In other words, you are the descendant of Bai Yan."
Shang Ying nodded blankly.
"So, you can rely on your status as a descendant of Grandmaster Bai Yan to join the Peak Team and participate in the battle of the spiritual path. If Grandmaster Sun Hong has a descendant alive, then he will most likely join the Peak Team."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yue suddenly had an idea that was not particularly mature.
Li Fan invited him to join the Peak Team.
Li Yu, whom I met yesterday, also mentioned this.
It also shows from the side that the peak team is extraordinary.
But he was only moderately interested in this invitation and felt it was useless.
Especially when I know that sub-monsters have begun to invade the spiritual world, I find it even more boring.
As the true leader of the secretive Immortal Organization and the only intermediary between the human and spiritual worlds, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
His real opponent is not on the earth plane.
However, the Battle of the Spiritual Path is, after all, a three-party martial arts show between the Federation, the Free City-States, and the Outer Territories. It is only held once every few years or even ten years, and the event is unprecedented.
It would be a pity if I missed it completely.
Now, Zhou Yue had an idea. Regardless of whether he would participate or not, he could arrange for the "peripheral members" of the Immortal Organization to participate.
For example, Shang Ying is young, powerful, and the descendant of a great master. All factors meet the conditions to join the top team.
If she is questioned because she is too strong, the worst she can do is let her dye her hair black.
"Well, that's settled for now. Kill two birds with one stone."
Zhou Yue banged his fist.
He didn't ask Shang Ying for his opinion and decided directly.
Ding! The pet reception room is online!
"Old Huang, help me find Li Fan. Well, he is the young human being at the sixth level that you were keeping an eye on before. See if he is still in Canghai Academy. If not, then he should have come to the capital."
A disembodied dog shadow swept out from behind him.
Shang Ying raised her head, extended her gaze, and then retracted it.
Next, Zhou Yue lived in Huangcheng, and naturally settled in the Mermaid Club.
While waiting for news from Li Fan, he also guarded Shang Ying.
It's not that Zhou Yue doesn't trust Shang Ying, but he is afraid that she will act impulsively and go to the capital to cause trouble for the Grandmaster family.
Shang Ying also understood what Zhou Yue meant. Although he felt more at ease, he often complained about the duplicity and lack of principles of those descendants of the master.
Zhou Yue knew that she couldn't swallow this breath, but from the perspective of the overall situation, there was really no need to completely fall out with the Grandmaster family at this time.
Three days passed and there was still no news from Li Fan.
Zhou Yue is not in a hurry. Xiaobai is still dealing with group affairs. If anything happens, Mrs. Gu who stays there will notify him.
In the past three days, Zhou Yue, in addition to going to Taigu to practice, was also sorting out the second teaching content of "Teacher Yue".
Although the instructional video of "Breathing Storm Light" has a high click-through rate, its sales volume has just exceeded 100. After deducting system fees, it has brought in more than one million tribute coins.
A month ago, Zhou Yue would have been ecstatic.
But now, he looks down on these one million.
Fortunately, the feedback received was very good. In the discussion area below the instructional video, the more than one hundred buyers were all looking forward to the new course.
This made Zhou Yue confident in this "business".
…
Under night, another night of carnival began in the huge deserted city.
Among the dark clouds, you can still vaguely see the giant spaceship hidden in the haze.
Just like the one in the sky of Canghai Academy, it stays above the city in the sky, monitoring the cities in the sky orbit, as well as the ground cities below.
Zhou Yue raised his head and stared, his eyes bright and dim.
A complex emotion suddenly arose in his heart.
Are these spacecrafts that stay in the high altitude clouds day after day and year after year really just to monitor the space gaps in various regions?
Are these high-altitude cities in the sky really just built to absorb more spiritual resources and facilitate practice?
You know, before the Hundred Years Plane War broke out, the space cracks were all born on the ground.
According to historical records, gods, demons and monsters also emerged from the cracks in the ground.
Fortunately, this sudden invasion of sub-monsters started from the spiritual world, which is extremely powerful.
If it continues to erupt from urban areas on the ground as it did hundreds of years ago, who will be able to resist the giant spider monsters of sixteen or seventeen levels?
I'm afraid that in less than half a day, a city the size of Nanhe City will be razed to the ground by a bunch of ferocious and terrifying sub-monsters, and all living beings will be devastated and displaced.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yue's body trembled slightly and he felt a shudder.
Without thinking, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message of greetings to his parents.
At present, it seems that it is necessary to bring my parents to live in the Sky City.
After taking the telepathy fluid that I left behind, their telepathy values should also have improved.
Even if he still fails to meet the entry standards of Canghai Academy, with his current connections in Canghai Academy, it is rare for him to violate the rules, so it is not impossible.
Canghai Academy can be regarded as his base camp. Naturally, he has to settle his parents there. With his disciples secretly taking care of him, he can rest assured no matter where he is.
"Going on a trip again?"
Zhou Yue looked at his mother's text message reply on his phone, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt a little ashamed.
These days, I have been busy with my own affairs and have less and less contact with my parents.
bite!
Another text message was sent.
Zhou Yue was startled, and his expression became strange.
Mom: "Son, I just planned to send you a message. Your dad and I are going to go back to our hometown in the capital to visit."
