Keeping the Appointment
"【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】, 【Nameless Actor】..."
Seeing the last line of words, in Chen Ling's mind instantly surfaced 【Beautiful Youth】's appearance, and also when in 【Inn】, the scene of the other three people travelling together.
In his mind exactly like startling thunder sounding!
"It's them... originally it's them??"
"No wonder, at that time Willow Town obviously already was sealed and forbidden by 【Enclosure Circle】. They actually still chose to enter Willow Town. And exactly happened to be a party of four people... So, they early on saw through my disguise?"
Chen Ling remembered that segment of dialogue between 【Beautiful Youth】 and green clothed female. Also exactly that segment of words, pointed out he himself comprehended 【Fate Weaving】 skill!
At that time felt it was only coincidence. But right now carefully thinking. That youth's every sentence, seemingly all pointed to something else... They were deliberately guiding him?
Countless thoughts flashed past Chen Ling's mind. He looked at the 【Invitation Card】 in hand, suddenly having a kind of unrealistic feeling;
Chen Ling muttered to himself.
Chen Ling in order to take initiative to find the traces of the master's school, only then triggered the series of troubles behind. The process could be said to be incomparably tortuous. But when he suddenly looked back. Yet discovering the people sought don't know when already was beside himself... The profoundness within it, unable to be expressed in words.
He just killed Lin Xi three people, being targeted by 【Floating Life Painting】. This 【Invitation Card】 then was delivered to his own hands... The time unavoidably also is too coincidental.
So, this 【Invitation Card】 signifies what?
Chen Ling again took the 【Invitation Card】 carefully looking a few glances. For a moment unable to determine the master's school everybody's intent. However looking from Chen Ling's impression of 【Mo Jue】. They highly probable won't be disadvantageous to himself... But other people? 【Clown】's baffling killing intent already let Chen Ling have vigilance in heart. At this moment still couldn't help hesitating up.
"...Regardless, anyway also don't have a better method." Chen Ling sighed a breath of air.
Right now he is currently being pursued and killed by 【Floating Life Painting】. Either in 【Enclosure Circle】 drifting along waiting for death. Either then go 【Keeping the Appointment】, seeing they exactly want to do what... The two's risks relatively comparing, Chen Ling chose the latter.
He solemnly placed the 【Invitation Card】 into sleeve. After distinguishing the position a bit, directly walking towards the east.
...
Lead gray cloud layers covered above Willow Town. Along with the whistling cold wind slowly moving.
On the dim lightless 【Alleyway】, Li Qingshan's clothes lapels were blown flying. He one hand pushing against the wind walked to the house door. Pushing door entering.
"Hu..." Li Qingshan long sighed a breath of air, "Looks like going to rain heavily."
Having the wall's shielding. The wind in the courtyard finally smaller a bit. But above the eaves still had quite a few fallen leaves madly dancing in the wind, emitting rustling sounds.
"Qingshan... close door close window lo!" 【Elderly Woman】's voice transmitted out from inside the house.
"Coming 【Grandmother】!"
Li Qingshan hurriedly taking all sun-drying clothes putting away. Closing the doors and windows tightly. Conveniently bringing taking the chickens and dogs all feeding once. Only then at the time the sky started raining drops hiding into the house.
He sat on the wooden bench, wiping sweat water. Seemingly tired not lightly.
"Qingshan... again have a letter of yours."
"Ah? Again have?"
【Elderly Woman】 like thinking of something. From the drawer taking out a thing. Tremblingly delivering to Li Qingshan's hands, "Just now... a child sent over... letting you definitely must go... seemingly is what... performance?"
【Elderly Woman】 waved hand, "【Elderly Woman】 my age is big. Ears listening not too clearly... you see yourself right."
Finishing saying, 【Elderly Woman】 then leaning on 【Walking Stick】, alone walking towards the bedroom.
Li Qingshan doubtfully sat in the house. Carefully sizing up a bit the thing in hands. Looking like an 【Invitation Card】. After taking it opening, inside was a letter paper printed with Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou 【Opera Masks】.
"Respected Li Qingshan 【Mister】, 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】 sincerely invites you..."
Li Qingshan's gaze swept downward.
Waiting until he finished reading all content. In eyes surfacing deep doubt.
"【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】...?"
Fourteen 【Divine Dao Ancient Repository】s, Li Qingshan previously then had somewhat heard of... Especially 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】. Inside 【Red Dust Domain】 simply is the legend being revered as 【Divine Being】. According to what they say, after stepping on 【Path of the Actor】 then can possess ever-changing but absolutely beautiful appearance. This to the everybody wholeheartedly pursuing debuting becoming famous speaking, is an irresistible temptation.
Even if it's those already famous superstars. All without exception dreaming of entering inside. Finding the method to forever preserve youth. Even some people high salary hiring outside 【Realm】's 【Divine Path Possessor】. Wanting to risk life danger passing through the 【Gray World】 outside 【Realm】. Arriving amidst the Ancient Vault. Using this to change their own fate.
But at this moment, the 【Invitation Card】 in Li Qingshan's hands, actually then wrote "【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】" four words?
"Is it a practical joke? Or..." Li Qingshan was somewhat hesitating.
This kind of 【Invitation Card】, looking from Li Qingshan's perspective. Just like before 【Great Cataclysm】 "I am Qin Shi Huang V me 50"'s scam text message equally outrageous. 【Ancient Vault of the Drama Path】 is far beyond reach. In the rumors people stepping on 【Path of the Actor】 even more are few and far between. How could appear this kind of an 【Invitation Card】, specifically naming letting him Li Qingshan go watch performance?
Rumble rumble——
Faint thunder sounding from the black vault of heaven. The rain outside the house falling bigger and bigger.
Seeing the bad wind and rain weather outside. Li Qingshan long sighed a breath of air. Casually taking the 【Invitation Card】 tossing to the tabletop. Turning around walking towards inside the house...
This kind of weather, normal people all would choose to lie at home resting. Or beautifully sleep a sleep. Who would risk such big wind and rain going to wasteland. Seeking a performance that is impossible to exist?
Just when Li Qingshan was about to step walking into the room. His foot hovered in mid-air.
He like a sculpture stood there. In mind suddenly flashing past 【Red-Clad Chen Ling】 tearing off face skin's scene. In the house quiet only leaving rain water hitting on tiles ding dong sound.
Li Qingshan's both hands unconsciously clenched tight.
"Forget it... going to take a look then what?"
Li Qingshan fiercely turned around. Taking the 【Invitation Card】 on the table storing into pocket. Picking up the 【Oiled Paper Umbrella】 at the wall corner propping open. Risking wind and rain disappearing at the end of the street.
He was going to 【Keeping the Appointment】... keeping a perhaps fundamentally nonexistent appointment.
And this appointment changing's, will be his life.
...
"In front, exactly is Willow Town."
Outside ink-like dark clouds. Two figures walked over from Red Dust 【Main City】's direction. Stopping footsteps in front of a desolate silent forest.
"Dealing with a 【Third Tier】 kid, needs we two people to make a move?"
"Don't underestimate him. He but under 【Enclosure Circle】 blockade, counter-killed three 【Architect】s. Even almost deceived past 【Main City】 that side..."
"Nothing more than trickery's small gimmick that's all. In front of absolute realm, completely useless... you and I two 【Fifth-Tier】 joining hands. Even if he inserted wings, also impossible to fly away from Willow Town." One of the people coldly snorted a sound.
"Do not underestimate the enemy."
Just at this time, a third figure walked out from the depth of the woods.
That is a white-haired aged old man. Hand leaning on a 【Walking Stick】 carved with wood grain. Looking like even walking was somewhat difficult. But the instant seeing his face. The other two people's faces startled, astonished opening mouths:
"【Crane Elder】? You personally came? Shouldn't go so far right..."
"Shouldn't go so far?"
That old man both eyes slightly narrowed, faintly looking towards Willow Town's direction,
"Facing that one who once assassinated 【Lord of the Aurora】. Personally leading to the destruction of 【Aurora Domain】's 【Dusk Society】 【Six of Hearts】... making some more preparations, always not wrong."
