Keeping the Appointment
"ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă, ăNameless Actoră..."
Seeing the last line of words, in Chen Ling's mind instantly surfaced ăBeautiful Youthă's appearance, and also when in ăInnă, the scene of the other three people travelling together.
In his mind exactly like startling thunder sounding!
"It's them... originally it's them??"
"No wonder, at that time Willow Town obviously already was sealed and forbidden by ăEnclosure Circleă. They actually still chose to enter Willow Town. And exactly happened to be a party of four people... So, they early on saw through my disguise?"
Chen Ling remembered that segment of dialogue between ăBeautiful Youthă and green clothed female. Also exactly that segment of words, pointed out he himself comprehended ăFate Weavingă skill!
At that time felt it was only coincidence. But right now carefully thinking. That youth's every sentence, seemingly all pointed to something else... They were deliberately guiding him?
Countless thoughts flashed past Chen Ling's mind. He looked at the ăInvitation Cardă in hand, suddenly having a kind of unrealistic feeling;
"ăKing of Clubsă said, ăMasteră can find me... sure enough it's like this."
Chen Ling muttered to himself.
Chen Ling in order to take initiative to find the traces of the master's school, only then triggered the series of troubles behind. The process could be said to be incomparably tortuous. But when he suddenly looked back. Yet discovering the people sought don't know when already was beside himself... The profoundness within it, unable to be expressed in words.
He just killed Lin Xi three people, being targeted by ăFloating Life Paintingă. This ăInvitation Cardă then was delivered to his own hands... The time unavoidably also is too coincidental.
So, this ăInvitation Cardă signifies what?
Chen Ling again took the ăInvitation Cardă carefully looking a few glances. For a moment unable to determine the master's school everybody's intent. However looking from Chen Ling's impression of ăMo Jueă. They highly probable won't be disadvantageous to himself... But other people? ăClownă's baffling killing intent already let Chen Ling have vigilance in heart. At this moment still couldn't help hesitating up.
"...Regardless, anyway also don't have a better method." Chen Ling sighed a breath of air.
Right now he is currently being pursued and killed by ăFloating Life Paintingă. Either in ăEnclosure Circleă drifting along waiting for death. Either then go ăKeeping the Appointmentă, seeing they exactly want to do what... The two's risks relatively comparing, Chen Ling chose the latter.
He solemnly placed the ăInvitation Cardă into sleeve. After distinguishing the position a bit, directly walking towards the east.
...
Lead gray cloud layers covered above Willow Town. Along with the whistling cold wind slowly moving.
On the dim lightless ăAlleywayă, Li Qingshan's clothes lapels were blown flying. He one hand pushing against the wind walked to the house door. Pushing door entering.
"Hu..." Li Qingshan long sighed a breath of air, "Looks like going to rain heavily."
Having the wall's shielding. The wind in the courtyard finally smaller a bit. But above the eaves still had quite a few fallen leaves madly dancing in the wind, emitting rustling sounds.
"Qingshan... close door close window lo!" ăElderly Womană's voice transmitted out from inside the house.
"Coming ăGrandmotheră!"
Li Qingshan hurriedly taking all sun-drying clothes putting away. Closing the doors and windows tightly. Conveniently bringing taking the chickens and dogs all feeding once. Only then at the time the sky started raining drops hiding into the house.
He sat on the wooden bench, wiping sweat water. Seemingly tired not lightly.
"Qingshan... again have a letter of yours."
"Ah? Again have?"
ăElderly Womană like thinking of something. From the drawer taking out a thing. Tremblingly delivering to Li Qingshan's hands, "Just now... a child sent over... letting you definitely must go... seemingly is what... performance?"
ăElderly Womană waved hand, "ăElderly Womană my age is big. Ears listening not too clearly... you see yourself right."
Finishing saying, ăElderly Womană then leaning on ăWalking Stickă, alone walking towards the bedroom.
Li Qingshan doubtfully sat in the house. Carefully sizing up a bit the thing in hands. Looking like an ăInvitation Cardă. After taking it opening, inside was a letter paper printed with Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou ăOpera Masksă.
"Respected Li Qingshan ăMisteră, ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă sincerely invites you..."
Li Qingshan's gaze swept downward.
Waiting until he finished reading all content. In eyes surfacing deep doubt.
"ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă...?"
Fourteen ăDivine Dao Ancient Repositoryăs, Li Qingshan previously then had somewhat heard of... Especially ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă. Inside ăRed Dust Domaină simply is the legend being revered as ăDivine Beingă. According to what they say, after stepping on ăPath of the Actoră then can possess ever-changing but absolutely beautiful appearance. This to the everybody wholeheartedly pursuing debuting becoming famous speaking, is an irresistible temptation.
Even if it's those already famous superstars. All without exception dreaming of entering inside. Finding the method to forever preserve youth. Even some people high salary hiring outside ăRealmă's ăDivine Path Possessoră. Wanting to risk life danger passing through the ăGray Worldă outside ăRealmă. Arriving amidst the Ancient Vault. Using this to change their own fate.
But at this moment, the ăInvitation Cardă in Li Qingshan's hands, actually then wrote "ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă" four words?
"Is it a practical joke? Or..." Li Qingshan was somewhat hesitating.
This kind of ăInvitation Cardă, looking from Li Qingshan's perspective. Just like before ăGreat Cataclysmă "I am Qin Shi Huang V me 50"'s scam text message equally outrageous. ăAncient Vault of the Drama Pathă is far beyond reach. In the rumors people stepping on ăPath of the Actoră even more are few and far between. How could appear this kind of an ăInvitation Cardă, specifically naming letting him Li Qingshan go watch performance?
Rumble rumbleââ
Faint thunder sounding from the black vault of heaven. The rain outside the house falling bigger and bigger.
Seeing the bad wind and rain weather outside. Li Qingshan long sighed a breath of air. Casually taking the ăInvitation Cardă tossing to the tabletop. Turning around walking towards inside the house...
This kind of weather, normal people all would choose to lie at home resting. Or beautifully sleep a sleep. Who would risk such big wind and rain going to wasteland. Seeking a performance that is impossible to exist?
Just when Li Qingshan was about to step walking into the room. His foot hovered in mid-air.
He like a sculpture stood there. In mind suddenly flashing past ăRed-Clad Chen Lingă tearing off face skin's scene. In the house quiet only leaving rain water hitting on tiles ding dong sound.
Li Qingshan's both hands unconsciously clenched tight.
"Forget it... going to take a look then what?"
Li Qingshan fiercely turned around. Taking the ăInvitation Cardă on the table storing into pocket. Picking up the ăOiled Paper Umbrellaă at the wall corner propping open. Risking wind and rain disappearing at the end of the street.
He was going to ăKeeping the Appointmentă... keeping a perhaps fundamentally nonexistent appointment.
And this appointment changing's, will be his life.
...
"In front, exactly is Willow Town."
Outside ink-like dark clouds. Two figures walked over from Red Dust ăMain Cityă's direction. Stopping footsteps in front of a desolate silent forest.
"Dealing with a ăThird Tieră kid, needs we two people to make a move?"
"Don't underestimate him. He but under ăEnclosure Circleă blockade, counter-killed three ăArchitectăs. Even almost deceived past ăMain Cityă that side..."
"Nothing more than trickery's small gimmick that's all. In front of absolute realm, completely useless... you and I two ăFifth-Tieră joining hands. Even if he inserted wings, also impossible to fly away from Willow Town." One of the people coldly snorted a sound.
"Do not underestimate the enemy."
Just at this time, a third figure walked out from the depth of the woods.
That is a white-haired aged old man. Hand leaning on a ăWalking Stickă carved with wood grain. Looking like even walking was somewhat difficult. But the instant seeing his face. The other two people's faces startled, astonished opening mouths:
"ăCrane Elderă? You personally came? Shouldn't go so far right..."
"Shouldn't go so far?"
That old man both eyes slightly narrowed, faintly looking towards Willow Town's direction,
"Facing that one who once assassinated ăLord of the Auroraă. Personally leading to the destruction of ăAurora Domaină's ăDusk Societyă ăSix of Heartsă... making some more preparations, always not wrong."
