Chapter 1036 – Can Look But Can’t Eat
The figures of the three Heavenly Dignitaries, have they not been recorded?……
Lin Qiye pondered.
Yang Jian looked at the shaking water in the cup, and after a moment of silence, he still opened his mouth to ask:
”So, your saying that you are my brother …… is something that really happened in the future?”
”Uh-huh.”
”Did I die?”
Lin Qiye was stunned in place.
”Other than my soul falling into reincarnation after death and being reincarnated, I can’t think of any other possibility to become the brother of a mortal.” Yang Jian spoke calmly.
Lin Qiye gazed at him for a moment and nodded, “You have indeed reincarnated and been reborn, and in this life, your name is Yang Jin and you are my cousin.”
”Yang Jin? ……”
Hearing this name, a flash of dissimilarity flashed across Yang Jian’s eyes, and he helplessly closed his eyes as he picked up his cup and drank the immortal wine in it.
He took a deep breath and continued to ask:
”In the next life, will my family be happy?”
”Yes.”
”In the next life, will I be upright?”
”Yes.”
”In the next life, will I protect the people I cherish?”
Lin Qiye was silent for a moment, “…… Yes.”
A faint smile surfaced on Yang Jian’s iceberg-like face, “In that case, very good.”
”Aren’t you going to ask why you entered reincarnation?”
”Since the future is finalized, what’s the point if I know or not?” Yang Jian put down his cup and spoke faintly, “It’s just a distraction.”
Lin Qiye looked into Yang Jian’s eyes and smiled helplessly after a long time.
Recognizing and reacquainting oneself with one’s cousin in this form …… is wonderful and dreamy. Who would have thought that the lonely and powerful True Lord of Qingyuan Myriad Dao in front of him now would be reincarnated as the younger brother who had always followed him around, calling him brother with every word, understanding and meek?
Just as Lin Qiye was lamenting, the immortals at the venue basically took their seats.
The Queen Mother of the West on the main seat stood up, her beautiful eyes slowly swept through the crowd, her temperament was dignified and noble, her knitted brows and smile all contained endless elegance, truly interpreting what is called the mother of the world.
She simply thanked the crowd for being invited to the Peach Festival, then reached out her hand and gently waved it.
”For all the Immortals, offer the Peaches.”
As the words fell, light fairy music resounded once more, and a number of maidservants dressed in flowing court attire, carrying peaches of various sizes, walked out noiselessly from the back of the venue.
A rich, clear fragrance tumbled out, surging into everyone’s nostrils.
”Gulp.”
Crisp gulping sounds came from beside Lin Qiye, who turned his head to see that two seats away from him, Nezha was staring straight at those peaches with gluttony written all over his face.
Seemingly sensing Lin Qiye’s gaze, Ne Zha glanced at him and spoke irritably:
”Hey, what are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen anyone swallow?”
Lin Qiye was stunned and was about to say something when a voice came from behind him.
”That’s enough, Nezha.” Yang Jian narrowed his eyes, gazed at Nezha, and spoke faintly, “Eat your peaches and don’t mind your own business.”
Nezha didn’t seem to expect Yang Jian to take the initiative to help Lin Qiye out, so he hummed, shrugged his shoulders, and returned his gaze to those peaches that were delivered one after another.
Those palace maids were divided into three batches, with one batch carrying a handful of trays containing large peaches and respectfully walking to Queen Mother West and the others, and one batch containing slightly smaller peaches and entering the Middle Immortal Area.
When they walked to the Lower Immortal Area, the size of the peaches had shrunk by one.
However, even so, these peaches were still very different, for example, the peaches served in front of Yang Jian, the first seat in the Lower Immortal Area, were as big as three fists, while at the end of the Lower Immortal Area, the peaches were only the size of an egg, which looked very shabby.
Originally, with Lin Qiye’s seniority, he could only eat those egg-sized peaches at the end, but Yang Jian forced him to be placed at the second seat beside him, so Lin Qiye also had a peach in front of him that was only slightly smaller than Yang Jian’s. Even Nezha’s peaches were as big as three fists, while the peaches at the second seat of the Lower Immortal Area were only as big as three fists.
Even Nezha’s peach was smaller than his.
When such a big peach fell into the hands of Lin Qiye, a junior, some people in the Lower Immortal Region soon became disgruntled.
Before they could take offense, Yang Jian dropped the cup in his hand on the stone table with an expressionless face, and the dull sound swept across the entire Lower Immortal Region instantly with an overbearing and unrivaled aura.
Those who were ready to make things difficult for Lin Qiye instantly wilted, bowing their heads and honestly nibbling up the peaches in front of them.
”Eat it.” Yang Jian spoke calmly, “It’s yours.”
Lin Qiye smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand to grab the peach in front of him, but his fingertips could only lightly pass through its surface, unable to touch it at all.
”I can’t eat these peaches.”
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows in thought, “I almost forgot, these peaches are also part of the Time Silhouette……. It’s a pity that even though these are just small peaches that ripen once every 3,000 years, they’re still an untouchable supreme treasure for mortals like you.”
Lin Qiye stared at this peach in front of him and sat there quietly, letting out a long sigh.
The legendary coiled peach was right in front of him at the moment, he could even see the fluff on its surface and smell the intoxicating flavor …… But on the contrary, he couldn’t eat it!
This was a little too torturous.
”Hey, why don’t you eat it?” Nezha quickly finished gnawing the peach in front of him, wiped his mouth, and looked at the intact peach in front of Lin Qiye in surprise, “If you’re not eating it, you can let me have it.”
”Fine, give it to you.”
Seeing Lin Qiye agree so dryly, Nezha froze in place instead.
”Really …… give it to me?”
”Uh-huh.”
Ne Zha suspiciously sized up Lin Qiye and tentatively grabbed the peach in front of him, seeing that Lin Qiye really had no intention of stopping him, he quickly stuffed it into his mouth and quickly ate it all.
He rubbed his stomach with satisfaction and
”Thank you, I apologize for my offense just now, you’re a good person ……
By the way, in the future, if you encounter any difficulties, you can report my name Ne Zha, my master is Tai Yi Zhen Zhen, and my father is the Heavenly King of Tota, Li Jing, in the Heavenly Court, I still have some face.”
Ne Zha raised his hand and wanted to pat Lin Qiye’s shoulder, but just as his hand touched Lin Qiye’s body, it directly penetrated through.
Ne Zha suddenly froze in place.
”Nezha, can’t you settle down a bit?” Yang Jian looked a bit helpless when he saw this scene.
”Yang Yang Yang Yang Jian!” Nezha stared at Lin Qiye with wide eyes in disbelief, “What’s going on?”
Yang Jian was about to say something when his expression suddenly froze, and he violently turned his head, the tightly closed vertical eye on his brow instantly opening to look at a corner of the venue not far from them.
There, an eye of the earth with red pupils on a black background appeared at an unknown time and was quietly gazing at everything here.
”Where are the sneaks, sneaking around?”
Yang Jian’s brows furrowed, and with a flick of his wrist, the cup transformed into a flash of rainbow light and smashed straight into the Eye of the Earth.
However, the moment the cup touched that eye, it was as if it had touched a piece of void air and passed through silently.
