Chapter 438 - Do you have any questions
Chapter 438 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" introduces: âThatâs far too rude,â the old priest exclaimed.âQuickly untie them.âBut judging by her expression, she... Read on to discover!
âThatâs far too rude,â the old priest exclaimed.âQuickly untie them.â
But judging by her expression, she too was torn between tears and laughter.
With a flick of his fingers, Qing Baziâs vine snaked back towards him like a serpent, coiling around his arm.
The one with messy hair sat up with a flop, still utterly bemused.
The other, somewhat leaner one used his hands to push himself off the ground and stand up.
Despite some mud on his face, his features were still clearly handsome.
âWeâll talk about the Matterhunt later, and Iâll provide Qing Bazi with a satisfactory answer,â said Qing Jiuye, stepping forward.
âBut now, we have three Dragon God envoys to deal with.
What should we do?â
âYou wonât be the one to give the answer,â Qing Qishu gritted his teeth.
âStopping the Matterhunt was my decision; Iâll be the one to satisfy Bazi!â
Seemingly not inclined to interfere with this matter, the priestess focused on the issue of the Dragon God envoys, âWeâll verify everything together tomorrow at the altar.â
The âDragon God envoyâ still sitting on the ground seemed to be coming to his senses at this point, mumbling something inarticulately.
âBazi, you shouldnât deprive them of their right to speak,â the priestess said.
Qing Bazi walked over, grabbed the manâs chin, and with two fingers hooked out a pinecone-like object, flinging it out of the window.
It was this object that had temporarily silenced them.
Seeing him approach, the other man with the hairpin, who had a handsome appearance, hastily mimicked the action, fishing out his own âpineconeâ from his mouth.
âMay I ask you a few questions?â the one sitting on the ground asked, his voice back to normal, as he stared intently at the white-haired crone, clearly recognizing her as the one in charge here.
The priestess replied in a very gentle voice, âOf course, you may.â
âWhat altar are you talking about opening?
What do you intent to do?
And how will you verify?â Finally able to speak, he treasured the opportunity to express himself, firing a barrage of questions, âJust who are you people?
Which tribe do you belong to?
Whatâs all this nonsense about Dragon God envoys?
And what God is this Dragon God?
Arenât dragons just a myth?
Are there other humans besides you?
What must happen before you will release us?â
In the Ancient Era, the Human Race lived in tribal communities.
His question implied that he saw the people here as remnants from the Ancient Era.
In the present worldâs vast expanses, countless small worlds, secret realms, and worlds beyond the heavensâŚ
There have been instances of groups that remained isolated from the rest since Ancient Times and continued to thrive separately in the present.
âTake it easy, no need to be anxious.
In the land sheltered by the Dragon God, you wonât come to harm.
I am the current priestess of the Holy Tribe, and I am responsible for your safety,â the old priestessâs voice held a comforting power as she kindly added, âWhat are your names?
Where do you come from?â
âMy name is Wu Quji,â the man with disheveled hair stood up, replying candidly like he was spilling beans, âI come from Qi Country in the Eastern Region, born into the Gold Needle Sect.â
The other man, with a wry smile and seeing his frankness, had no choice but to follow suit, âMy name is Su Qi, from Qi Country.â
His voice was a bit rough, which didnât quite match his delicate features.
Qing Qishu blinked in puzzlement, âWhat place is Qi Country?â
He then turned to look at Jiang Wang, âAre you also from there?â
Interrupting for some reason, the old priestess cautioned, âThe homeland of the Divine Envoys of the Dragon God pertains to divine secrets; do not pry further.â
Jiang Wang could probably understand Su Qiâs feelingsâthe man called Wu Quji was overly forthcoming, revealing everything about himself in an unfamiliar placeâŚ
All he could do was vaguely acknowledge, âSort of.â
Having shaken off their initial apprehension, Wu Quji and Su Qi now noticed Jiang Wang.
They saw him, well-dressed, looking refreshed, with a beauty by his side, and a cute little girl hiding behind him.
Envy was unavoidableâŚ
After all, they had all come to participate in the Secret Realm of the Seven Star Tower, and their Star Positions werenât far apart.
Wu Quji was even a bit ahead.
How was that fair!
But now was not the time to be envious.
Wu Quji looked very seriously at the old priestess, âIâve answered your questions, now itâs your turn to answer mine.â
The priestess appeared slightly taken aback, probably not expecting someone so forthright.
But after all she had weathered many storms, and after only a brief moment of surprise, she said, âIâm old, and my memory isnât very good.
One at a time, what was your first question again?â
âWhat âopening the altarâ are you referring to?â Wu Quji asked.
âNo, not that one.â The old woman thought hard, âThe question before that.â
Wu Quji thought for a moment and repeated, âMay I ask you several questions?â
âNo.â The old priestess flatly rejected.
Wu Quji: âŚ
Jiang Wang: âŚ
Wu Quji was straightforward and not foolish; he certainly didnât dare to draw his sword and force her to answer by threatening her life.
There was no second option but to keep silent.
âAh, old age brings poor spirits,â sighed the old woman.
âQing Qishu, for the three of you, please escort the three potential Dragon God envoys to rest.
Tomorrow we will open the altar to verify and see which one is truly the chosen envoy by the Dragon God, to help our Holy Tribe be reborn.â
âGranny, let Qinghua take care of it,â Qing Qishu said sullenly.
âIâll stay here to give Ba Zhi an explanation later.â
He appeared quite adamant.
Originally, he was the one who had lost the hunting game, and at any rate, he couldnât let Jiuye take the blame for him.
Ba Zhi snorted, âLetting these stinky men come in contact with Qinghua, I canât believe youâd think of that.
As for giving explanations, letâs wait until the Dragon God envoy is determined!
If none of them are real, do you think you and Jiuye can escape?â
Jiang Wang and Wu Quji couldnât help but give Ba Zhi a look.
This person with eight braids calling every man âstinkyâ was really irritating.
Wu Quji even bent down to sniff himselfâŚ
Dragged here all the way, his scent was indeed a bit off.
The priestess waited a moment and, seeing that neither Qing Qishu nor Jiuye spoke up, nodded, âThen you may go down first.â
Her gaze then swept over Jiang Wang, Wu Quji, and Su Qi, âThe three of you rest well tonight, no need to worry about safety.
The entrance and exit of Divine Shade Land are only possible with permission; itâs very safe here.â
Jiang Wang caught the underlying message in her wordsâitâs very safe here, but if youâre thinking of escaping, itâs not possible.
Donât cause yourselves unnecessary misery.
It was probably the experience with Qing Bazi that prompted her to include this reminder.
Ever since Qing Bazi had returned to Divine Shade Land, Qing Qishuâs mood had soured.
After being interrogated about the hunting Game by Bazi, he seemed even more downcast.
Bazi took Wu Quji, Jiuye took Su Qi, and Qishu took Jiang Wang.
The three pairs left the room.
âSo weâre resting, huh?
Just resting?
The kind of resting Iâm thinking of?â
Once out of the inner room, Jiang Wang heard Su Qi incessantly questioning.
Earlier, in the inner room, he had stayed as quiet as possible, fearful of drawing attention.
Now feeling the danger had passed, he completely let loose.
His voice was rough and grating, truly annoying.
Based on the character shown by these warriors of the Holy Tribe.
Bazi would probably beat him up, and Qishu would likely mock him with cold sarcasm.
But since Jiuye was the one escorting him, only one answer came back: âYes.â
Jiang Wang turned his head and saw Su Qi heave a deep sigh of relief, his eyes brimming with tears as he said, âMommy, I thought I was going to be eaten.â
For a grown man to sound so âfragileââŚ
Observing his ârivalâ, Jiang Wang immediately turned his gaze back and couldnât help shivering.
