Chapter 1553 – Asylum
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye froze slightly.
These words struck him as somewhat familiar ……
Lin Qiye only pondered for a moment before recalling where he had heard it, back when he first captured Black Pupil, Black Pupil said that he had come to Lin Qiye because he was guided by a certain being …… and the words that that being had asked him to relay seemed to be very similar to what Cao Yuan had said.
”Those words, did you hear them from somewhere?” Lin Qiye asked in disbelief.
Cao Yuan was stunned, “No ah …… I just suddenly thought of it and said it. What’s wrong?”
”Nothing ……”
”Right, we’re just leaving? Don’t call on Li Yifei?”
”I promised him that I would let him live an ordinary life.” Lin Qiye looked back in the direction of Shangjing University and smiled faintly, “He found a place that suits him, so let him stay.”
”Indeed, with his character and ability, he will be very popular wherever he is.” Cao Yuan nodded, “Then again, how should we get to the Heavenly Court?”
”The location of the Heavenly Court is always changing, even now it’s not clear whether it’s in the Great Xia territory or in the mists …… The only one who might know its location, aside from the Gods of the Great Xia, is only Commander Zuo.”
”What you mean is ……”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Other than the few of us, only Commander Zuo knows about us coming to Shangjing University, but on the first day we just entered the university, we ran into Jiang Taigong who had changed into a counselor ……The Great Xia Gods have known for a long time that we’re going to Shangjing University and the one who notified them ahead of time, should be Commander Zuo.
What he knows is probably more than we can imagine.
If we can’t find the Heavenly Court, we can only start with Commander Zuo first ……”
Heavenly Court.
An Qingyu followed behind Jiang Ziya, passing through the aura-dense green stone avenue and stopping in front of a palace.
”Little friend Qingyu, during this period of time, you can stay here temporarily.” Jiang Ziya spoke, “The doubts in your heart will be answered by someone.”
”Live here?” An Qingyu looked at this magnificent palace, “But I will attract those Migos over ……”
”Don’t worry, leave these things to us, you just need to rest in peace.”
Seeing Jiang Ziya say this, An Qingyu naturally wouldn’t refuse, and with Jiang Er in tow, she walked into the palace.
The interior of this palace was even bigger than what An Qingyu had imagined, in addition to the sleeping rooms and the hall for meeting guests, there was also a courtyard full of immortal grass at the back, and in the center of the courtyard there was an elegant ancient pavilion, so I don’t know what kind of saint had once lived here.
But at this moment, neither An Qingyu nor Jiang Er had any interest in enjoying the scenery of the immortal hall.
”Qingyu, what do they want to do?” Jiang Er asked with some concern.
”I don’t know.” An Qingyu shook her head, “However, they are the gods of my Grand Xia, since they are doing this, they must have their reasons …… Since we are here, it’s good to stay at ease.”
An Qingyu’s expression was calm and incomparable, as he circled around the palace, then walked straight to the ancient pavilion in the center of the Immortal Herb Courtyard and sat down.
The ancient pavilion was furnished with two stone benches, a stone table, and an unfinished game of Go remnants was being quietly placed on the tabletop.
An Qingyu looked down and surveyed the stalemate game, seemingly pondering something.
”Jiang’er …… My arithmetic power seems to have recovered quite a bit again.” A moment later, An Qingyu came back to her senses and said.
”Really?”
”Well, I feel like my brain is more awake than before.” An Qingyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Speaking of which, the last time my arithmetic power recovered, it was also after Migo descended …… Every time they descended, my ability recovered a little bit? What exactly is the connection between them and me ……”
An Qingyu sensed the odd connection between him and Migo, and combined with all the previous things, he always felt that between the countless complicated clues, something was already calling out.
”Jiang’er …… you said before, who is it that Migo believes in?”
Jiang’er froze, “[Key of the Gate].”
”[Key of the Gate]……” An Qingyu muttered the name, her brows getting tighter and tighter.
Right at this moment, a ray of light and shadow intertwined on the stone bench across the room, transforming into a slightly chubby figure clad in a Taoist robe that appeared in front of An Qingyu and Jiang’er.
”Fatty!?” Jiang’er exclaimed in shock when she saw the person.
An Qingyu subconsciously opened her mouth to say something, and after a moment of silence, she still bowed with both hands and spoke respectfully:
”Greetings to Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father.”
Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father sat opposite An Qingyu, his expression was a bit complicated, he waved his hand and said, “There is no need to be courteous …… Poverty Road and the other two Heavenly Father’s main body, are still in the mist, stay here is just a residual shadow.
Before leaving, the poor Tao also hoped that this residual shadow would not be awakened …… I did not expect that in the end, it still came to this step.”
”This remnant shadow, was left for me?” An Qingyu keenly captured the point.
”Uh-huh.” Spirit Treasure Heavenly Father nodded, “Before we left, Yuan Shi vaguely sensed the changes in the sky, so the poor Tao specially left this residual shadow …… The poor Tao knows that there must be a lot of questions in your heart, you and ask, as things are now, the poor Tao will no longer hide anything from you.”
An Qingyu looked at Lingbao Tianzun, silent for a long time, slowly asked:
”What relationship do I have with the [Key to the Gate]……?”
”Commander, they’re here.”
Inside the office, Zuo Qing put down the pen in his hand, “Let them come in.”
The door to the office opened and Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan walked in side by side, the secretary took the initiative to back out, locking the door to the room smoothly.
Looking at the two serious faces in front of him, Zuo Qing sighed helplessly, “What do you want to ask?”
”You knew we were coming?”
”As soon as I heard the news that An Qingyu was picked up, I knew that you guys would definitely come.” Zuo Qing pointed to the two chairs in front of the table, “Sit down first.”
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before sitting down, while speaking:
”Where is the Heavenly Court now? Also, why did Jiang Taigong take Qingyu away?”
”Answer your second question first.” Zuo Qing said unhurriedly, “I know that you guys are worried about An Qingyu, but for him, the Heavenly Court is the safest place right now …… The specific reason, you should be able to guess.”
”…… Migo?”
”That’s right. Those Migo’s target is An Qingyu, and they will constantly cross the space-time gap to find his location, so wherever An Qingyu stays on Earth, it will be very dangerous.
As for the Heavenly Court, it has my Great Summer Gods sitting on it, which is enough to shelter An Qingyu’s safety……. Now, the Heavenly Court has already entered the mists, and only in this way can it attract away the attention of the Migo and prevent them from descending into human society again.”
”The Celestial Court has already entered the mists?” Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed.
If the Heavenly Court was still within the Great Summer, it would naturally be easy to find, but now that it had entered the mists …… it would be a bit difficult.
”In addition to what I said above about Migo, there’s another important reason why Jiang Taigong took away An Qingyu.” Zuo Qing took a deep breath.
”An Qingyu, cannot continue to survive in this world.”
