Chapter 1965: Chapter 1530: Jing Dajiang: I Will Not Go_2 Chapter 1965: Chapter 1530: Jing Dajiang: I Will Not Go_2 “So, being a gatekeeper means you don't have to open the gate? Does that mean you need an additional Closed-door Disciple?” An Xiaoxianzi spoke up.
“I am indeed short of a Closed-door Disciple.” The academy head said coldly: “Besides, I am about to complete my work here soon.
I will remember these years of humiliation.”
An Xiaoxianzi let out a chuckle and said: “Did you not see Mr. Yan returning? Do you think she would bring back good news?”
The academy head was taken aback, then looked towards Yan Yuezhi and said: “Who are you looking for?”
“I plan to go to the courtyard and seek out those seniors.” Yan Yuezhi replied.
The academy head took a deep breath and said: “Good news?”
“Not bad.” Yan Yuezhi responded truthfully: “It just requires a considerable effort.”
Hearing about the need for considerable effort, the academy head hurriedly opened the main gate and said: “Mr. Yan, please come inside.”
“So you're opening the gate now?” An Xiaoxianzi said sarcastically.
“I'm afraid I can't handle it.” The academy head admitted frankly.
Yan Yuezhi bowed to the two of them and quickly went inside.
For a moment, the academy head became worried: “What do you think it could be?”
“No worries, if there's a problem, I'll die first, it's always been like this.” An Xiaoxianzi said.
“You've trained a good disciple.” The academy head remarked with feeling.
And even brought them all the way to the main gate.
Elsewhere.
Yan Yuezhi made no delay, appearing in the courtyard.
Although the gate was closed this time, it was normal.
Yan Yuezhi knocked gently, and the gate opened.
However, as she stepped forward, the threshold stepped back.
Old tricks were of no use to Yan Yuezhi.
After three days, she finally entered the courtyard.
Then, she appeared in front of Jing Dajiang and the other two.
Jing Dajiang was still drinking tea with a teapot in his hand, and somewhat incredulously seeing someone enter, he said: “You've stepped through the back gate; doesn't it try to stop you?”
“Greetings to the three sirs.” Yan Yuezhi bowed respectfully.
“Greetings received, now go back, and remember to complete your assignment for the day.” Jing Dajiang commented offhandedly.
Yan Yuezhi did not leave but said: “This student has entered the Corpse Realm Flower once.”
“I know, you did great, now go back.” Jing Dajiang casually praised her, then asked her to leave.
Yan Yuezhi was very earnest, and although the three seniors in front of her were not, she still needed to speak her mind fully.
“After entering the Corpse Realm Flower, the student sensed a place within the Heavenly Stele Mountain, a place that might record various secrets of the Corpse Realm Flower.
But the student's strength is insufficient to investigate this place or to fully understand its significance.
So, I have come to seek the assistance of the three seniors.
I hope that the three seniors can lend a hand.” Yan Yuezhi spoke frankly.
Without exaggeration.
“You can't understand, can't investigate, so you want us to go?” Jing Dajiang leaned back in his chair and said, sipping from the teapot:
“Don't you think that's a bit presumptuous?
Moreover, what does something of the Corpse Realm Flower have to do with our academy?
It's just some records, what use are they?
This task is obviously arduous and thankless, requiring the use of various manpower.”
As he spoke, Jing Dajiang suddenly turned to Yan Yuezhi and said: “Young lady, we're happy you come to us when in trouble, but there are things you need to handle on your own.
If you rely on us for everything, how will you grow?
Consider this a test given by the academy, work hard at it.
When you make some progress, come back to us.
We will give you ample reward.”
Jing Dajiang suddenly realized, this wasn't bad news at all.
And there was no hurry whatsoever.
This could perfectly be used to hold sway over the other party, right?
Didn't expect this young lady to have such a day.
Always bearing bad news, wishing they'd be buried with it.
Good news and they wouldn't even utter a word.
Yan Yuezhi calmly looked at Jing Dajiang and the others, saying:
“The student is unable to complete the task, if I could, I naturally would not trouble the seniors.
Besides, it is not the student that is asking the seniors to go.”
“If it's not you, you mean I want to go myself?” Jing Dajiang said annoyedly: “No matter what you say, it won't persuade us this time.”
Yan Yuezhi looked at him and continued: “Before the student came here, I met someone, who had a message for the seniors.”
Jing Dajiang, not caring in the least, leaned back in his chair and said: “Let's hear it then, let me see what sort of words would make me change my mind.
If it turns out to be useless, you'll go to the Corpse Realm Flower yourself.”
Yan Yuezhi looked at the person before her and calmly spoke: “A predecessor asked me to inquire something from you.”
“Ask.” Jing Dajiang responded with authority.
Yan Yuezhi's face remained calm: “He said that by revealing the Mirror Flower World, you've made a huge mistake. Does the predecessor know what it is?”
The moment Yan Yuezhi's words fell, Jing Dajiang was stunned.
Then there was a clatter.
The teapot in his hand fell to the ground unknowingly.
He then stood up, looking at Yan Yuezhi with some disbelief: “What did you say?”
The two elders behind him were also stunned.
They had no impression of this question.
“The Mirror Flower World has been revealed, you've made a huge mistake, does the predecessor know what it is?” Yan Yuezhi repeated.
Jing Dajiang stood there still, somewhat in disbelief.
He composed himself and said: “Is the person asking this time the same as the one who spoke last time?”
After contemplating, Yan Yuezhi said: “It feels like it, but then again, it doesn't seem to be.”
“Why do you say that?” Jing Dajiang asked seriously.
“Because Gu Jin is dead,” Yan Yuezhi answered.
Jing Dajiang thought for a moment, then said, “So, the person who had you bring this message, there is someone else?”
“If thought of in that way, then it should be,” Yan Yuezhi replied.
Hearing this, Jing Dajiang began to pace back and forth.
Yan Yuezhi quietly stood there.
Jing Dajiang looked at Yan Yuezhi and said: “Bring the academy gatekeeper, have him assist you with all his might, find that place, and halt all other non-essential matters at the Western Astronomical Academy; go to the Corpse Realm Flower and dig out those things.”
Yan Yuezhi was shocked in her heart, unable to understand why these words held so much power.
After Yan Yuezhi left, the long-bearded elder then asked: “Who is it this time?”
“There are a total of three rooms in the back courtyard that have never been opened,” Jing Dajiang said, looking into the distance.
The back courtyard of the Western Astronomical Academy.
In silence, two figures appeared in a secluded, dusty attic.
“This is the place, it seems no one has altered this layout, and it's well-sealed with strength, without any mold,” Jiang Hao said as he looked at the attic and smiled.
“Is this the dwelling left in the Western Astronomical Academy?” Red Rain Leaf asked while looking at the quite decent courtyard.
“Yes, when I came here the Western Astronomical Academy was just a small sect, the strongest person wasn't even an immortal.
Then I watched it grow step by step, eventually becoming a colossal force, suppressing everything,” Jiang Hao said as he opened the door to his house and laughed: “Thinking back, it feels like the passage of years.”
“So do you still count as four hundred years old?” Red Rain Leaf asked.
“Not really,” Jiang Hao calmly said, “Although time seemed to fast-forward in my eyes, I didn't truly experience that long of a time, but it indeed felt like a very, very long time.”
Red Rain Leaf looked around and noticed that apart from some books, there was nothing else: “Is it so simple?”
“It was a poor place to begin with.” Jiang Hao approached the bookshelf, then opened a book: “When I left, I kept a piece of paper here.
Oh, here it is.”
At that moment, Jiang Hao took out the ordinary-looking piece of paper from the book.
It was covered with strength, so it had always been preserved.
“What's written on it?” Red Rain Leaf walked over and asked.
Jiang Hao slowly unfolded it.
There was just a simple sentence on it: “Is it me?”
Looking at the sentence, Jiang Hao sighed and said: “It seems it really is me.”
Although many signs indicated that Jiang Hao had returned to the past.
He was not quite convinced and needed to clarify.
Thus he left this piece of paper for himself.
Originally, he wanted to ask 'is it you?'
In the end, after some thought, he changed it to 'me.'
With that, Jiang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it then.
He could only become the Great Elder of the Western Astronomical Academy.
Some things truly cannot be avoided.
Even though he tried so hard to avoid them, in the end, he still fell into it because of Jing Dajiang.
For a moment, Jiang Hao became curious, was it cause that created the effect, or the effect that created the cause?
His thoughts swirling, Jiang Hao was somewhat bewildered, as if he had entered a strange loop.
In the next instant, a transformation occurred to him.
Red Rain Leaf, who was about to say something, was taken aback.
Again?
