Chapter 1552 An Qingyu’s Departure
Jiang Ziya had just taken a few steps when a figure melted into the night, quickly appearing before him.
Lin Qiye, wearing a deep red cloak, clasped his hands and respectfully bowed, saying: “Junior Lin Qiye pays respects to Grand Master Jiang.”
Jiang Ziya stopped in his tracks.
His gaze shifted from An Qingyu to Lin Qiye before him, his expression somewhat complicated:
“No need for formalities.”
“May I ask why Grand Master is here?”
“…Lin Qiye, why I am here, can’t you already guess?” Jiang Ziya didn’t answer, but instead sighed and asked Lin Qiye in return.
Lin Qiye remained silent for a moment, stood straight, and slowly said:
“Grand Master’s transformation technique is truly remarkable. When we first met you, we didn’t notice anything unusual… However, I boldly guess that Grand Master has disguised himself as an ordinary person and secretly remained at Beijing University, perhaps to monitor us?”
Jiang Ziya and Lin Qiye stared at each other for a long while before he shook his head and said:
“I’ll be direct. Today, An Qingyu must return with me to the Celestial Court.”
“Return to the Celestial Court?” Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow. “For what purpose?”
Jiang Ziya let out a long sigh, “Lin Qiye, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you… You must have guessed An Qingyu’s special nature. After observing him for this period, it can be determined that he is no longer suitable to remain in the mortal world, but exactly how to deal with him is not for me to decide…
Everything depends on the Celestial Lord’s will.”
Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.
Jiang Ziya walked around Lin Qiye, heading straight toward An Qingyu, but before he could take a few steps, Lin Qiye blocked his path again.
“Grand Master, can we accompany you?”
“…No.” Jiang Ziya shook his head. “Under normal circumstances, you could visit the Celestial Court anytime, but now is a critical period, and this matter is of great importance. The ‘Nightfall’ team should avoid any suspicion.”
Jiang Ziya didn’t try to go around him again but instead flashed through space, appearing before An Qingyu who was surrounded by many attendants.
An Qingyu looked up at him, his pale face showing little emotional fluctuation, only his eyes revealed a hint of bitterness.
“An Qingyu, come with me to the Celestial Court,” Jiang Ziya slowly said.
“I’m going with him!” Jiang Er floated up from underground, her voice coming through the speakers, her gaze utterly determined.
An Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then pointed at Jiang Er and said:
“She needs to come with me. If she’s away from me for too long, she’ll die.”
Jiang Ziya stared at Jiang Er for a moment, then nodded,
“Very well.”
Jiang Ziya hooked his finger, and a black coffin emerged from the ground, floating beside An Qingyu. Then, he drew a line in the void with his God-striking Whip, and a phantom gateway of light appeared behind the two.
The gateway emitted intense spatial fluctuations. Although the intertwining light obscured the view beyond the door, the spiritual energy flowing out indicated that beyond the door was the Great Xia Celestial Court.
Jiang Ziya, holding the God-striking Whip, entered the gateway first. An Qingyu, hands on the edges of his wheelchair, looked toward Lin Qiye in the distance, his expression incredibly complex.
Lin Qiye opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but An Qingyu gently shook his head at him.
“Seven, don’t worry about me. Once I figure out what’s really going on, I’ll return.”
An Qingyu pushed his wheelchair forward, disappearing into the gateway of light, with Jiang Er’s black coffin floating beside him, following closely.
Lin Qiye stared blankly at the silhouette vanishing into the door, countless thoughts surging in his mind. Gritting his teeth, he transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward the gateway!
However, just as he was about to touch the door, the light gradually faded in the air, and he ultimately grasped at nothing.
The empty venue once again fell into dead silence.
Lin Qiye stood bewildered at the spot where the gateway had disappeared. The cold wind brushed his cheeks, and for some reason, with An Qingyu’s disappearance, he had a very bad premonition in his heart…
“Seven…” Cao Yuan stepped forward, his brow full of confusion, “What exactly happened? Why did Grand Master take Qingyu away?”
“Qingyu… is probably connected to theGram system.”
“The Gram system?” Cao Yuan was stunned, then frowned deeply. “You mean he’s a traitor? How is that possible?”
“Qingyu certainly can’t be a traitor. There must be something we don’t know…” Lin Qiye’s mind raced, and after a moment, determination appeared in his eyes.
“Cao Yuan, let’s go.”
“Where to?”
“To the Celestial Court.”
“Maybe things aren’t as serious as you think… Qingyu just saved the gods of Great Xia, they certainly won’t harm him. Perhaps they just want to ask him some questions.”
“I trust the Great Xia gods, and I trust Qingyu, but in this matter, I have an ominous feeling… Perhaps it’s related to what I saw in Hell.” In Lin Qiye’s mind appeared the image of An Qingyu wearing a gray robe, walking in the mist. He continued gravely,
“I won’t be at ease until I understand what’s happening with Qingyu. Since Grand Master Jiang won’t take us to the Celestial Court, we’ll find our own way there.”
Seeing this, Cao Yuan nodded and said: “I’ll follow your lead.”
Lin Qiye quickly walked toward the exit. As Cao Yuan was about to follow, a voice came from behind:
“Where are you going?”
Cao Yuan looked back to see Lu Menglei’s face full of concern.
“Don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere dangerous.” Cao Yuan walked up to her and gently stroked her head, saying, “I need to find my brother. When I return, I’ll come find you at the Sword Society.”
Cao Yuan finished speaking and turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something and turned back:
“Oh, and that request is still on hold. When I return, you can’t back out.”
With those words, Cao Yuan picked up his black case and quickly caught up with Lin Qiye.
In the quiet night, the slender figure in light purple standing in the center of the venue gradually disappeared from Cao Yuan’s peripheral vision.
“Actually, you could stay with her,” Lin Qiye said as they rushed forward. “It’s just a trip to the Celestial Court. I can go alone.”
“Didn’t you say you had a bad feeling? Besides… what kind of team captain goes on a mission alone while letting his team member stay behind for romance?” Cao Yuan shook his head. “Qingyu is my brother too. I can’t just stand by.”
Seeing Cao Yuan’s determination, Lin Qiye didn’t try to persuade him further, but silently increased his speed to the maximum.
Under the dim starlight, Cao Yuan looked at Lin Qiye’s anxious profile, and after a moment of silence, spoke again:
“Seven.”
“What is it?”
Cao Yuan slowly said, “We are ‘Nightfall,’ and you are our captain. Whatever you plan to do in the future, we will support you…
Even if one day you have to fight against the entire world, we will stand by your side.”
