Chapter 401 The Spring Between Day and Night
August.
There was still sunshine at the northernmost part of the world.
But the sun was gradually dim.
Sunlight shed down from the highest point in the sky. It was no longer bright and warm. The sun shone in a cold city, with obvious alienation and apathy.
Midsummer had not pa.s.sed.
The sky of Mormans grew colder.
The manor near the port was still dotted with greenery. However, the flowers had already withered, and the luxurious atmosphere carried a touch of desolation in the cold weather. The manor was not shabby, but it brought people a mood of melancholy.
Mormans was about to enter polar night.
But in the afterglow of the polar day, the sun still hung in the sky twenty-four hours a day.
The midsummer of Mormans was still as cold as winter, even in the polar day. At three o’clock in the morning, the temperature was close to zero.
The dock not far from the manor was still busy, and the steam-whistle that sounded occasionally cut through the sky. No one knew whether it was day or night.
Flaming Fire, who had followed Qin Weibai for the longest time in Samsara Palace, held a very special container in her hand and collected the morning dew carefully behind the manor.
A very special and rare plant was planted behind the manor. It was not as tall as a tree, for it merely reached the waist of an ordinary person, but it was much higher than the gra.s.s. The living environment of this plant (gra.s.s tree) was very demanding for air temperature and air humidity. Although it could live in Mormans, it was not as green as it was in the headquarters of Samsara Palace.
A chill rose in the sun at the end of the night but before early in the morning.
The cold air became dew, hanging on the leaves of the plant, crystal clear.
Flaming Fire silently thought about Samsara Palace’s headquarters, collected the dew on the leaves into the container, and calmly returned to the main villa.
She poured the morning dew that she had collected into a purifier. The dew was purified and boiled. Flaming Fire opened the refrigerator.
There were several gorgeous crystal bottles in the refrigerator, filled with ice cubes.
Flaming Fire took out a few ice cubes and put them in the boiling dew, and then added a little honey and shook it gently. Finally, she put the water into a delicate thermos.
She worked briskly and skillfully in the kitchen.
At about four o’clock in the morning, she baked the bread and covered it with the most famous caviar in Mormans. Meanwhile, she fried a small steak.
The lights were on in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa.
Lights and sunlight of the polar day late at night met inside the villa.
Flaming Fire started cutting fruits.
There was not much fruit but rich in varieties.
Qin Weibai, who had fallen asleep for less than four hours, walked out of the bedroom after washing her face and rinsing her mouth.
“Boss.”
Flaming Fire, who had just finished her work, placed the food on the table.
Qin Weibai nodded, came to the dining table, and sat down, sipping the water little by little.
Ice cubes were added to the hot water, so the temperature was just right at this moment, with a kind of refreshing sweetness.
Little by little, Qin Weibai felt refreshed.
Her face was pale and haggard, but her eyes gradually filled with an indescribable bright aura.
Flaming Fire didn’t prepare breakfast for herself. She just sat opposite Qin Weibai and watched Qin Weibai drink water.
When Qin Weibai was fully awake, Flaming Fire whispered, “Boss, Horsewoman sent word that Deity had left Heaven Capital and his whereabouts were unknown.”
Qin Weibai paused as she drank. She picked up the knife and fork, cutting the steak in front of her lazily and elegantly.
There were now only seven left of the prestigious 12 Super Masters of Samsara Palace. Five of them had died under w.a.n.g Tianzong’s mighty sword. Flaming Fire was always at Qin Weibai’s side. The four strongest Super Masters—Saint, Military Counselor, Duke, and General, were all seriously injured. Phantom voluntarily accepted the transformation and became a member of the Demon Legion. He was still dormant after being transferred from the headquarters to Snow Country.
Horsewoman had been staying in East Island.
But her mission was not to fix her eyes on Deity.
So all Qin Weibai could get now was news of Deity’s departure from Heaven Capital.
“Is there any latest news about Zi Ye?” Qin Weibai ate a steak and asked softly.
As she thought of the princess that was given to the Purgatory of Heaven Capital by the East Island royal family, a hint of mockery flashed through her eyes.
“No.”
Flaming Fire calmly said, “She has been with Deity for three years, but they have no children.”
Qin Weibai ate breakfast quietly for a long time.
A small piece of steak was left, and the bread and fruit gradually disappeared.
“I see.”
Qin Weibai stood up and turned toward the study.
Flaming Fire carried the thermos and Qin Weibai’s cup, following her.
“Let Horsewoman come to Snow Country,” Qin Weibai said suddenly.
…
Flaming Fire nodded subconsciously and said hesitantly, “How about Heaven Capital…”
“It’s meaningless.”
Qin Weibai’s voice was ethereal and distant. “He has no chance. We need people in Snow Country, and it will be more convenient for Horsewoman to come over.”
They entered the study.
The study was luxurious and large, but not s.p.a.cious.
Countless doc.u.ments were piled up in any corner that could be seen in the study. There was hardly room for anyone.
Qin Weibai watched it all. Then she calmly walked to her office table and sat down.
She was slender and tall, but when she sat down at her desk, she was almost overwhelmed by the piles of doc.u.ments everywhere.
But Flaming Fire knew that the doc.u.ments in front of her were not all.
After Qin Weibai returned from Holy Land to Mormans, this was already the fifth batch of materials moved to the study.
Or intelligence.
All the intelligence of Samsara Palace since its establishment.
It had a long-time span, involving the entire Dark World, countless influential families, a large number of countries, and densely packed organizations. When it came to an individual, it was a network of incredibly intricate and detailed connections. Such networks were as numerous as the stars.
It had been almost three days since Qin Weibai returned from Holy Land.
She had hardly rested over the past three days and only took a nap just now. She spent all her time looking through intelligence.
It seemed that she wanted to rearrange all the information since the appearance of Samsara Palace, so she watched all this carefully.
No one knew what she was looking for.
The direction she was looking for was all directions.
The internal fights and mutual resentment within influential families.
The internal strife and wars between nations.
Every conflict in the Dark World.
The confrontation between the major dark force groups.
Conspiracy and betrayal between the Eastern Church and the Vatican.
All the experts that had appeared in the Dark World in recent decades.
Even some anecdotes were in the range she was looking for.
Flaming Fire had proposed to mobilize a group of the elite on intelligence to help her, but Qin Weibai refused without hesitation.
It was not a matter of trust. Some things had to be done by herself.
Qin Weibai took a quick browse at recent events in Eastern Europe and then buried herself in mountain-like intelligence, carefully reading.
The time in the study seemed to freeze. Flaming Fire could only hear folders being opened and pages being turned.
Flaming Fire kept moving out the information that Qin Weibai had read and then brought in new information.
So the large study was always so crowded, and there was hardly any place to put their feet.
Flaming Fire was moving.
Qin Weibai never moved.
She just quietly flipped through the information collected by Samsara Palace. The light in the study was flowing and shining on Qin Weibai. Everything about her was so beautiful, natural, and calm.
But Flaming Fire remembered the more than fifty hours of sleeplessness after Qin Weibai returned from Holy Land.
During that long and repet.i.tive time, she could feel the anxiety hidden in Qin Weibai’s appearance.
Even panic.
That was not the panic after things were out of control.
It was a kind of confusion due to unpreparedness as she faced an unpredictable and unknown future.
Another batch of materials was moved in.
All the information was a copy from the intelligence agencies of Samsara Palace all over the Dark World. It belonged to the kind that would be burned after reading. Qin Weibai had been looking through it in silence. The information she had read was thrown into the stove, and the smoke drifted to the outside world.
The daylight grew brighter.
Flaming Fire turned off the lights and gently opened the curtains.
The sunlight without temperature shed into the study.
Qin Weibai looked up at the light outside the window.
For nearly half a year, Mormans had no night, and the sun was always there. Time pa.s.sed on the dial, and the hands ticked. In the glare of the sun all day long, time seemed to lose its meaning, and so did the clock.
Qin Weibai watched it for a while. The sunshine of Mormans was not even dazzling. Both the rising sun and scorching sun were as cold as the moon.
For a moment, she seemed lost in such an environment. She did not know whether it was day or night and whether it was the sun or the moon.
She kept this position and remained silent for a long time.
At a certain moment, Qin Weibai suddenly spoke cooly, “Go and fetch Mr. Lin.”
…
Flaming Fire nodded, turned, and walked out.
…
Lin Fengting came quickly. Obviously, he meant to keep Qin Weibai safe, so he lived in the guest room on the first floor. Now, after he gave Qin Weibai the position of the Lin Clan’s Patriarch, he felt relaxed and became more and more unrestrained.
When he walked into the study, he looked at the materials piled up in his study, stunned, and then laughed. “I heard that you didn’t rest much after you came back. Are you so busy?”
“There are things I have to figure out,” Qin Weibai whispered.
…
“Hmm,” Lin Fengting said. He sat down opposite Qin Weibai and asked directly, “What do you want to see me about?”
“I want to see the Lin Clan’s head of intelligence,” Qin Weibai said.
…
Now, she already had the power of the Lin Clan’s Patriarch and had the qualifications to issue orders. But the Lin Clan was not a family. It was a clan scattered around the world. It had internal connections, but it was extremely loose on weekdays. Even Qin Weibai needed some time to get used to this unusual mode of operation.
The Lin Clan’s head of intelligence was naturally not in the Lin Clan’s headquarters.
Strictly speaking, the Lin Clan’s intelligence agencies were equivalent to several branches separated from the headquarters, but they always maintained very close contact with the headquarters.
Unlike the intelligence agencies of the w.a.n.g family of Beihai, the Lin Clan’s intelligence system was unknown in the Dark World as well. It was composed of countless intelligence organizations, large and small, which were even seemingly unrelated on weekdays. They were all over the world, huge, but equally loose.
“I’ll give you the contact information,” Lin Fengting said.
He thought for a while and continued, “How about I call in some important people here these days? You’d better meet them. If there’s anything they can do, just command them.”
“Good.”
Qin Weibai nodded.
Lin Fengting’s att.i.tude had become very subtle now. She only borrowed one sword stroke from Lin Fengting in the beginning, and now Lin Fengting only wanted to keep her alive. He was not here to compete with the other dark force groups. He did not care about the so-called victory and Samsara Palace.
Qin Weibai knew this very well.
So the Lin Clan’s headquarters could provide her with the Xuanyuan Sword, a super force hidden in the dark, and some of the peripheral help provided by the Lin Clan’s major branches. That was basically the biggest support for her.
From the heart, even if Lin Fengting gave her the position of Patriarch, he did not want to let the entire Lin Clan get involved in the general trend of the Dark World.
“Have you gotten anything these days?” Lin Fengting asked, looking at the surrounding intelligence.
…
Qin Weibai shook her head. She pursed her lips, and her eyes seemed a little tired. “If I get anything, I won’t borrow the Lin Clan’s intelligence system. I have a hunch that it is difficult for me to find any clues in Samsara Palace’s intelligence.”
Lin Fengting frowned.
He meditated and asked, “Not a clue?”
…
“No.”
Qin Weibai shook her head.
“If that’s the case… the Lin Clan may not have any clues.”
Lin Fengting smiled bitterly and helplessly. “In some respects, Samsara Palace’s intelligence is unique. If Samsara Palace cannot find any clues about that, how can the Lin Clan, which is not too concerned about the Dark World, have any valuable intelligence?”
“But in terms of executive force, the Lin Clan’s intelligence system has far more executive force than Samsara Palace.”
Qin Weibai looked at Lin Fengting and said, “That’s what I value most. I can’t find any clues here, and it doesn’t make sense to go through the Lin Clan’s information. But the Lin Clan can continue to investigate. We have no clues now, but we have an obvious goal.”
“Follower?”
Lin Fengting raised his eyebrows.
“Follower.”
Qin Weibai nodded affirmatively.
“That man’s true strength is infinitely close to the peak of the Invincible Realm. He’s even stronger than Aldak, the Killing Angel of the Vatican, who died at Heaven Capital three years ago. He has been crowned now. His true strength is enough to rank among the top five on the Divine List. The investigation of him begins either with himself or with the Holy Disarmament Corps of the Vatican. It’s too difficult,” Lin Fengting said with a frown.
…
On this trip to Holy Land, he was most shocked by the extremely mysterious follower instead of the unfathomable Pope. As the vice marshal of the Holy Disarmament Corps, he showed only the combat power of the Invincible Realm. However, the moment they fought in the hotel, his true strength was not far behind that of Aresis. It meant that after he was crowned, even though he was still no match for Lin Fengting, the difference between them was no longer vast and could be seen.
It was not only difficult but absolutely dangerous to investigate such a person.
“No matter how difficult it is, the investigation will continue. You know what it means,” Qin Weibai said.
…
Lin Fengting was silent.
He naturally knew what that meant. An expert who was infinitely close to the peak of the Invincible Realm was only a follower.
And who was the Highness behind him?
What was this man up to by hiding in the Vatican?
“I can only be sure of something if I find out who the follower is and who the Highness behind him is.”
Qin Weibai said, “Investigate Vatican’s intelligence first, go deeper and deeper into the Holy Disarmament Corps, and finally touch the ins and outs of the follower. It doesn’t make much sense for him to sneak into the Holy Disarmament Corps. There must be their men inside the Holy Disarmament Corps. My only guess now is that, by asking an expert, who is infinitely close to the peak of the Invincible Realm, to sneak into the Vatican, the person behind the scene wants to control the Vatican. The follower is now close to Holy Virgin Angel. They’re very close to something.”
The structure within the Vatican was simple and yet complex.
As the Holy Virgin of the Vatican, Angel’s responsibility was equally heavy.
The Holy Virgin was second only to the Pope in the Vatican. In addition to being responsible for spreading the glory of the Lord, they also had the qualification to choose the spokesperson for the Lord.
The Lord’s spokesman was naturally the Pope.
The Holy Virgin did not have the right to appoint someone the Pope, but she had the right to select the candidates for the Pope. Eventually, a new Pope would be elected by the cardinals.
Lin Fengting asked thoughtfully, “Why don’t we tell the Vatican the ident.i.ty of the follower?”
…
“Pointless.”
Qin Weibai replied without hesitation, “In Snow Country’s decisive battle, we need the power of the follower. And the follower is the only clue revealed by the so-called Highness. If we tell this message to the Vatican, we take the initiative to cut off the clue. An expert who is near the peak of the Invincible Realm is indeed formidable, but I am more worried about the person behind him.”
Lin Fengting looked at Qin Weibai and asked, “What the h.e.l.l are you worried about?”
…
Qin Weibai froze.
She was silent for a long time. Then she suddenly smiled and told the truth from the bottom of her heart.
“In terms of the apt.i.tude on Martial Arts, I’m really ordinary and not outstanding.”
Her words were inexplicable.
But Lin Fengting’s face changed slightly.
“What I am worried about is naturally the mysterious Highness. I don’t know him, but obviously he knows me. That’s the most abnormal place. Why should I worry about the follower? After all, he was exposed. Even if he is at the real peak of the Invincible Realm, in the final a.n.a.lysis, he’s just another man’s dog.”
She looked at Lin Fengting. “Have you ever seen such a person who makes an expert almost at the peak of the Invincible Realm a dog? I have seen such a person, but in the end, he died. The Highness behind the follower…”
She didn’t keep talking but was thinking about something.
Qin Weibai said, “At the moment, no one is in line with that Highness. None of you is him, be it w.a.n.g Tianzong, Deity, or you. How can anyone else have such courage?”
…
“You have seen someone who makes an expert at the peak of the Invincible Realm a dog?!” Lin Fengting asked suddenly and quietly, and his tone was terrifyingly quiet.
…
“He died,” Qin Weibai said.
As she spoke of this fact, there was no emotion in her eyes. She was just in a trance.
“Are you sure he’s dead?” Lin Fengting’s voice was quieter.
…
But such a quiet sentence seemed to bring the chill of the whole Mormans to suppress the entire study in a flash. A cold feeling came over their faces.
Qin Weibai’s face didn’t change. She just looked at Lin Fengting.
“Do you think it’s him?”
She asked, “Is it possible?”
Lin Fengting said, “There are always facts that cannot be explained. For example, the one in Heaven Capital.”
…
“Different.”
Qin Weibai shook her head. “You know it’s impossible too.”
“Perhaps,” Lin Fengting said.
…
“Any Invincible Realm expert has cause and effect.”
Qin Weibai didn’t seem to take Lin Fengting’s speculation seriously. “Before this, you had the least cause and effect in the entire Dark World.”
The cause and effect of the Invincible Realm expert was the cause and effect of the Dark World.
The cause and effect of the Dark World contained blood, killing, resentment, grat.i.tude, standpoint, and involuntariness.
Before that, only Lin Fengting had the least cause and effect.
But the follower…
“The follower has no cause and effect.”
Qin Weibai said, “At the very least, I can’t find his cause and effect. That’s why I’m going to go on and find out about the follower. If I succeed, the Highness behind him should be exposed.”
“Do you suspect that the Highness is the enemy?” Lin Fengting asked.
…
They were, in a sense, in a state of cooperation with that Highness.
“I hate the unknown.”
Qin Weibai shook her head. “Even if he is not an enemy, at least he will not be a friend. If we don’t find out who this man is, sooner or later, he will be a disaster, a disaster for the whole Dark World.”
The roar of a helicopter’s rotors suddenly sounded outside the window.
Qin Weibai raised her eyebrows.
Flaming Fire, who had been guarding outside, pushed the door open in time and calmly said, “Boss, it’s Miss Qin.”
“Hmm,” Qin Weibai answered. She thought for a while, stood up, and walked out of the study. “Go and see.”
The sound of the rotors roared over the manor.
The helicopter landed slowly, and the sun shone through the rotors, leaving a revolving, mottled glow on the ground.
Qin Weibai walked out of the villa.
The helicopter landing on the lawn in front of the villa gradually quieted.
The cabin door was opened.
A pure-looking young woman got out of the helicopter and saw Qin Weibai. She rushed over and took Qin Weibai’s hand. Then she smiled coyly and said, “Sister.”
Lin Fengting, who followed Qin Weibai out of the villa, was confused and wondered what was happening.
“This is my sister.”
Qin Weibai introduced both parties. “This is Mr. Lin.”
“h.e.l.lo.”
The young woman offered her hand and smiled gracefully. “I’m Qin Weiyun.”
Qin Weibai, Qin Weiyun…
Sisters…
Lin Fengting’s brain went blank for a moment, but his eyes fell on Qin Weibai.
“Baiyu State’s Qin family should be considered one of the biggest Chinese influential families in Eastern Europe.”
Qin Weibai smiled.
Lin Fengting opened his mouth wide.
Baiyu State bordered Snow Country and was one of the small countries in Eastern Europe. However, the Qin family in Baiyu State was absolutely famous in Eastern Europe and the entire Dark World. It was one of the top Chinese influential families in Europe. In Eastern Europe, it was an equal of Morton, Violet, and other super influential families.
Even the most powerful branches of the Lin Clan had cooperation with the Qin family in multiple aspects.
It was not surprising that Qin Weiyun came from the Qin family.
But Qin Weibai…
Baiyu State’s Qin Family?
Lin Fengting shook his head hard, and his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e. “Are you from the Qin family?”
“No.”
Qin Weibai froze, then shook her head. “It’s just a coincidence of names. Sir, don’t get me wrong. This is my adopted sister. If I were from the Qin family, wouldn’t other forces in the Dark World figure that out? But Samsara Palace does maintain some secret cooperation with the Qin family.”
Lin Fengting wore a self-mocking smile. Indeed, not only Zhongzhou State but all major forces in the world had investigated the origin of Qin Weibai, the second-in-charge in Samsara Palace. The Qin family in Baiyu State was a monster that couldn’t be hidden anyway. If Qin Weibai were from the Qin family, and even if she had done a good job of keeping secrets, she would have been found out.
Qin Weiyun said with a chuckle, “Yes, Third Grandpa asked me to ask you if you have time to go to Baiyu State. He asked me to tell you that it’s time to make up your mind about some cooperation.”
…
Her appearance was not particularly beautiful, but it was pleasing to the eye. Especially the purity that came from the inside out made her look indescribably amiable.
Qin Weibai thought about it and nodded. “I’ll go once, then.”
Her eyes fell on Lin Fengting.
Lin Fengting shrugged indifferently and smiled. “I’ll stay and gather some clansmen here. You’ll see them when you get back. You can go there with Flaming Fire.”
“Then leave.”
Qin Weibai nodded and walked decisively toward the helicopter on the lawn.
Qin Weiyun waved her hand at Lin Fengting with a bright smile.
The whistling of the helicopter’s rotors sounded again.
Lin Fengting looked up.
The helicopter was getting farther and farther in his sight and eventually turned into a small spot.
…
…
At about the same time that Qin Weibai left the manor, a figure wrapped in a black cloak stepped slowly into the manor.
The black figure’s pace was neither rapid nor slow. The figure walked up and down the manor and finally stopped at the main villa.
Lin Fengting was still standing there, looking calmly at the mysterious, slightly stealthy man in black. He smiled calmly and said, “Who are you?”
The black-robed man seemed to freeze. He hesitated for a moment before laughing. “Mr. Lin?”
Lin Fengting nodded.
The black-robed man hesitated and finally took off the black cloak on his body, revealing his Taoist Robe that made him look like a sage.
“I’m Xuan Xuanzi.”
Xuan Xuanzi laughed softly. “In Samsara Palace, my code name is Phecda.”
Lin Fengting narrowed his eyes.
The 12 Super Masters of Samsara Palace became 13 Super Masters.
Except for a few core figures, almost no one knew about this.
But Lin Fengting knew that.
“I’ve heard so much about you.”
He smiled and asked directly, “What are you here for?” Boss Qin has just left.”
“She ought not to see it. She’d better go.”
Xuan Xuanzi laughed.
“Hmm?”
Lin Fengting raised his eyebrows, expressing his doubt.
“This manor is big, but Mr. Lin, don’t you think something is missing?” Xuan Xuanzi asked suddenly.
…
“What’s missing?”
Lin Fengting looked around casually.
The manor was luxurious.
The villa was beautiful.
The lawn was neat.
But because of the bra.s.s monkey weather, some of the flowers had withered, seeming a little desolate.
With Qin Weibai’s aloof and arrogant temperament, she obviously didn’t bother to care about this.
“It lacks vitality.”
Xuan Xuanzi took a small bottle out of his bosom and said with a smile, “There is no vitality in the manor, in Samsara Palace, and in the boss.”
Holding the small bottle, he said gently, “If you are free, sir, come with me and see a miracle.”
“My pleasure.”
Lin Fengting seemed to know what Xuan Xuanzi was saying, and his eyes quietly lit up.
The two pa.s.sed the villa and continued to walk backward.
They went all the way to the end of the manor.
At the end of the manor, many gra.s.s trees were planted. The morning dew had been collected once, but the cold air rose, and morning dew appeared on the leaves again. When the sun shone, it looked crystal clear.
“Before joining Samsara Palace, I heard some interesting rumors from a young friend. Rumor has it that the boss only drinks some purified morning dew or mountain spring water in specific places, and eats only fruits and vegetables as meals every day. That young friend is one of the crazy admirers of the boss. When he mentioned that those days, he said the boss was an otherworldly G.o.ddess…”
Xuan Xuanzi looked at the gra.s.s trees in front of him and laughed oddly.
“How could it be so exaggerative?”
Lin Fengting laughed. “You mean Xiaoyao? I seem to have heard of it. Boss Qin does have a higher dietary requirement, but when there is no morning dew or mountain spring, she also drinks purified water, and she, too, eats meat. Eat only fruits and vegetables… Does Xiaoyao regard Boss Qin as a mountain hare?”
“Rumors are always interesting.”
Xuan Xuanzi smiled. He suddenly glanced at Lin Fengting and asked, “Mr. Lin, I heard from Military Counselor that the boss asked you to borrow her a sword stroke, and you are now inviting her to join the Lin Clan?”
Lin Fengting was slightly surprised and nodded. “She is now the acting Patriarch of the Lin Clan.”
“Congratulations, Mr. Lin and your clan.”
Xuan Xuanzi’s smile gradually widened.
“Congratulations?”
Lin Fengting murmured to himself, “It seems that the words mean more than you say, Taoist priest.”
“I should congratulate you. Let me put the help that the boss’s wisdom can bring to the Lin Clan aside first. Nowadays, Eastern Europe is chaotic, and no one is optimistic about Samsara Palace in this decisive battle. If Samsara Palace collapses, maybe some Super Masters that do not partic.i.p.ate in the battle can protect some of the core things of Samsara Palace. However, the outermost things are of equal value and are inconceivable benefits. If the boss joins the Lin Clan, the outer things will not be valued by her. These things will naturally be taken over by the Lin Clan then,” Xuan Xuanzi said calmly.
…
Lin Fengting froze for a while.
He really hadn’t thought of that. He only valued Qin Weibai’s value to the Lin Clan in the future but ignored the benefits that Qin Weibai had acc.u.mulated before she entered the Lin Clan.
“I didn’t think about that.”
Lin Fengting told the truth.
“It does not matter.”
Xuan Xuanzi said lightly, “I just want to tell you, Mr. Lin, that Samsara is going to be destroyed, and the boss is doomed to die. You have your way to protect her, and I have mine. I’ve brought vitality to the boss today. In the future, when she officially enters the Lin Clan and uses the strength of the Lin Clan to fulfill her promise to me, I hope that you can remember my contribution today.”
Lin Fengting didn’t say anything but just asked, “Where is the vitality?”
“Here.”
Xuan Xuanzi looked down at the small bottle in his hand. “Just wait for the wind to blow. Would you like to help me?”
Lin Fengting took a deep look at Xuan Xuanzi.
He took one step forward.
Suddenly, the sword intent soared into the sky from the manor.
The endless Sword Energy crisscrossed over the manor and spread throughout the manor.
The Sword Energy stirred up the wind.
The wind kept howling.
Xuan Xuanzi laughed.
Regardless of the perspective of metaphysics or the perspective of reality, the protection of Qin Weibai’s vitality required Lin Fengting’s sword.
He walked into the land where the gra.s.s trees were planted and poured a heap of powder out of the small bottle.
The powder landed on his palm and then was blown up by the wind, as light as dust.
The wind, formed by Sword Energy, blew the powder and sprinkled it on every corner of the manor.
The sun shone coldly.
All of a sudden, the sound of flowers blooming rang out in the manor.
…
With the gust, flowers blossomed where the powder had fallen in the manor.
Flowers of very bright colors bloomed in every corner inside the manor in the twinkling of an eye. It was a riot of color and a miracle.
In the midsummer, the northernmost chill still shrouded the sky of Mormans.
The icy wind was getting stronger, and the polar night was approaching.
…
For the first time in the manor of Mormans, there was spring at the turn of polar day and night.
…
The same day.
Early morning in Mormans.
…
…
Under the sun of the polar day, headed by Holy Virgin Angel and Saint War Angel Aresis of the Vatican, three hundred Holy Punishment Priests and eight hundred Holy Disarmament Warriors officially entered Eastern Europe and set foot in Snow Country.
