After giving Kong Hou a piece, Tianmiao seemed to recall something and turned to Dong Xiao to ask: "Do you want one?"
"No, I don’t." Dong Xiao shook his head. Watching as Tianmiao turned back to continue eating candy, Dong Xiao slightly furrowed his brows, feeling that the master seemed a bit different. The master had gained a certain innocence and childishness. The previous master was powerful, dazzling, yet also gentle and tolerant. But now the master seemed more like what Bai Yue should be at this age. Is it the work of Chaos? What is he trying to do?
"My perception has been blocked. Chaos did it." Just as Dong Xiao was speculating about Chaos’s intentions, Tianmiao suddenly made this astonishing statement.
Kong Hou and Dong Xiao’s expressions changed drastically as they asked with tension and worry: "So has the master’s power been weakened?"
"No, no, my power hasn’t been weakened. But my perception has been blocked," Tianmiao shook her head, "To put it bluntly, I can’t see this person’s intentions, thoughts, nor can I predict what he will do. In the past, I could see the past, present, and future, but now I can only see the present."
"The present?" Kong Hou blinked, "The present, meaning you can only see now?"
"No, what the master means... she can only see what’s directly front of her. Even smaller than now," Dong Xiao frowned, shaking his head, "What does Chaos want to achieve by doing this?"
"Maybe he wants me to experience something?" Tianmiao could roughly predict Chaos’s intention.
"What is this something?" The curious Kong Hou spoke again.
"Experience cannot be conveyed through words. We’ll take it as it comes. Chaos and my father must have hidden something from me. But now perhaps they don’t want to hide anymore; instead, they are slowly telling me in another way." Tianmiao said.
After hearing Tianmiao say this, Kong Hou and Dong Xiao stopped asking about it and switched topics.
"Master, this time’s destined person is actually a soul from another world. Was there some kind of accident?" Kong Hou asked.
"Most likely. But the specific reason hasn’t been found yet." Tianmiao continued eating candy, squinting as if she was enjoying herself greatly.
"However, this person is quite fortunate. The body he possessed is extraordinarily talented, and now he’s already a core disciple of the Cangyuan Sect, with a formidable strength." Dong Xiao said as he flipped through the Heavenly Mechanism Memo.
"He also has a special advantage." Tianmiao laughed, "The necklace he wears contains a soul that constantly aids him, a remnant soul of a failed Ascender, kind of a down-and-out powerhouse?"
"He’s also going to Southwind City this time. Let’s go see him." Kong Hou sounded curious about this time’s destined person.
Sky City has opened several routes, leading to the biggest cities in the south, north, and west. The flying boat is large, fast, stable, and reasonably priced. So many people choose to take the flying boat, with very few choosing to fly themselves.
The flying boat finally stopped at the gate of Southwind City, and Tianmiao’s group of three disembarked, paid the entry tax, and smoothly entered the largest city in the south.
The entry tax was only a tenth of that in Sky City.
"Are the entry taxes for the other two large cities just as low?" Kong Hou asked casually after paying the money.
"Yes. Sky City is the most expensive." Dong Xiao nodded.
Tianmiao was silent for a moment. In some ways, White Jade City isn’t white at all; on the contrary, it’s quite dark.
After entering the city, Tianmiao first went to look for food. Upon arriving at a new place, exploring culinary delights before looking at jewelry and fine clothing has already become her habit.
