2040 Have You Found That Person
Only then did Wu Yao and the other two feel relieved.
Chu Liuyue took a few steps forward and stood three steps away from the realm gate.
Her gaze focused slightly, as if she was looking at something else through the realm gate. I’m very sure that I didn’t see wrongly that day—there is indeed a mirror in this realm gate.
Rong Xiu’s face was reflected in the mirror, but it was a very unfamiliar expression. Furthermore, the person in the mirror’s attire was completely different from Rong Xiu back then.
It is clearly not an ordinary mirror.
Suddenly, light rippled above the realm gate.
A figure was faintly discernible.
Chu Liuyue’s brows moved slightly. Right on the heels of that, she saw a face she couldn’t be more familiar with.
It was her face, but there were differences.
The woman in the mirror had a calm expression. Her eyes were dark and indifferent, but there was a noble aura between her eyebrows.
Those eyes seemed to be filled with 10,000 years of frost, carrying an eternal coldness.
Waves surged in Chu Liuyue’s heart.
However, the expression of the woman in the mirror didn’t change. It was as if it had been like this for a long, long time.
This is me, but it isn’t me!
“Master? Master?” Wu Yao’s voice seemed to come from afar and finally woke Chu Liuyue up.
She came back to her senses and closed her eyes. Only then did she turn to look at the two of them and realize that they were gazing at her nervously.
“…What’s wrong?” Chu Liuyue knitted her brows slightly.
Wu Yao said worriedly, “Master, you… seemed to be lost in thought just now. We called you a few times, but you didn’t hear us.”
“Yes. Master, are you alright?” Yu Jiu, who was at the side, also looked worried.
Chu Liuyue pinched her glabella. “It’s nothing. Just now… I was just thinking about something and didn’t notice.”
Hearing Chu Liuyue say this, the two of them looked at each other.
Actually, they were all people who were good at reading someone from their body language.
Chu Liuyue’s condition just now was indeed very different. But upon closer inspection, there were indeed no signs of injuries.
Perhaps… she was really dazed?
“It’s good that Master is fine.”
Chu Liuyue was about to leave when she took a step forward and asked, “Has there been any abnormalities in this realm gate recently?”
“Master, ever since you and Her Highness left here that day, there hasn’t been any changes in the aura and power of this realm gate. But with the current situation, we still can’t pass through it casually…”
“Guard it strictly. Without my permission, no one is allowed to approach this realm gate,” said Chu Liuyue.
The two of them thought that she was still worried about the accident that happened that day. They didn’t suspect anything and immediately agreed. “Yes!”
Before the problem was resolved, they had to be more careful.
Chu Liuyue turned around and glanced at the realm gate.
The figure in it had long disappeared.
She pursed her lips and turned to leave.
…
Chu Liuyue returned to Yue Manor and directly entered her room. Then, she sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Force surged into her body continuously.
With her current physique and level, she almost didn’t need to spend too much effort on this. Her body would naturally devour energy and convert it into her own.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, dusk fell.
There was no moon tonight.
A few snowflakes were carried into the room by the cold wind.
Chu Liuyue opened her eyes.
There was no light in the room, and it was dark.
Her eyes were exceptionally bright, like the stars in the night sky.
At this moment, she frowned slightly, as if worried about something. After a moment, she stood up and walked to the window.
She had planned on closing the window, but the cold wind blew against her face and instantly woke her up.
She held onto the windowsill with one hand and stood there silently.
The scene she saw in the realm gate during the day was still deeply engraved in her mind. No matter what, it was difficult to disperse.
“Little Zhou.” She suddenly spoke softly.
The surroundings were silent.
A moment later, a figure silently appeared in the courtyard. His figure was thin, and his linen clothes were loose.
The faint light reflected from the snow landed on his face, and his facial features could be vaguely seen.
It was Qiang Wanzhou.
He followed Chu Liuyue back to Yue Manor, but he didn’t like crowds by nature. After he came, he hid his figure.
Even though Chu Liuyue had arranged a place for him to stay, she knew that he should be standing guard nearby.
Sure enough, after shouting, he came out.
“Little Zhou, come in and talk.” After saying that, Chu Liuyue closed the window and walked over to ignite the lights in the room before opening the door.
Qiang Wanzhou walked across the thick snow in the courtyard, but he didn’t leave any traces. Now that he was already a true god, this was naturally not difficult for him.
When he walked into the room, Chu Liuyue was already sitting at the table.
“Master.” He bowed.
Chu Liuyue didn’t ask him to get up as usual. Instead, she poured herself a cup of tea unhurriedly.
The tea was cold.
“Master, I’ll go change a pot for you,” said Qiang Wanzhou with his head slightly lowered.
Even if he didn’t lift his head or look, he knew what was happening. He had always been quick-witted.
“There’s no need.” Chu Liuyue held the teacup in her hand and slowly rubbed it twice. “I don’t plan to drink it anyway.”
Qiang Wanzhou responded and stopped talking.
The room was silent.
After a while, Chu Liuyue asked, “Little Zhou, when did you become a true god?”
Qiang Wanzhou answered, “Not long ago.”
“How many days exactly?”
“…Thirty one days ago.”
“Thirty one days… It’s been so long. Did you never think of coming to the God Residence Realm to look for me?” Chu Liuyue looked at him and asked calmly.
Qiang Wanzhou paused. “I’ve thought about it, but it’s very troublesome for ordinary people to enter the God Residence Realm. I only went there because I heard that one can enter the God Residence Realm after passing the challenge at Yunzhou. I didn’t expect to meet you and His Highness there.”
“Have you been sleeping all this time?”
“…Yes. When I woke up, I realized that I had automatically broken through to become a true god.”
Although this was a very long period of time, it was still worth it to be able to break through and become a true god after waking up.
Chu Liuyue raised her brows slightly. “In that case, you don’t even know how you broke through the true god threshold?”
“I don’t know.”
Chu Liuyue laughed. “Then, you’re really lucky.”
Following that, she fell silent for a long time without saying anything else.
Qiang Wanzhou finally couldn’t help but look up at her. “Master, you—”
Bang.
Chu Liuyue put down the teacup and made a sound that was neither loud nor soft.
Qiang Wanzhou’s heart skipped a beat.
Chu Liuyue leaned closer, stared into Qiang Wanzhou’s eyes, and said word by word, “I remember you saying that you were going to Tianling Imperial City to find an old friend. Have you found that person now?”
