"Senior Sister Zhong, I don't think Professor Jianzheng has held you back."
"Originally, the Prophet was a major hurdle in the Warlock system; without great fortune, one simply could not withstand misfortune."
"Master Jianzheng put you under Li Chang'an's tutelage, and you broke through in just over six months! It's practically a miracle!"
Zhong Li looked at Chu Caiwei with envy in her eyes, but when she spoke, her words were full of disappointment.
"In fact, even if you follow him, it will take at least three to five years to successfully break through to the Array Master level."
"Originally... I thought... there was plenty of time... and many opportunities."
"Sigh... I didn't expect to break through so quickly."
Zhong Li's behavior was like that of a little girl whose crush had suddenly transferred schools.
Chu Caiwei was completely unaware, her beautiful eyes wide open, and she even forgot to bite the chicken leg.
"Why so fast? What went wrong?"
Zhong Li hugged herself tightly, feeling utterly helpless, as if the whole world had abandoned her.
"Because...some strange things happened to me and Li Chang'an."
As Zhong Li spoke, her face became exceptionally rosy, and she appeared even more radiant.
"You two aren't going to become husband and wife, are you?" Chu Caiwei's eyes widened in shock, making no attempt to hide her feelings.
The conduct of the disciples of the Imperial Observatory cannot be judged by conventional moral standards.
Regardless of whether Li Chang'an is a江湖草莽 (jianghu caoman, a member of the martial arts world) or His Majesty the Heavenly King.
They always address people by their first names.
“No way…” Zhong Li denied Chu Caiwei’s guess.
"If we don't leave him now, it might be possible."
Zhong Li's words once again revealed her disappointment.
"For a prophet, both he and those around him will suffer misfortune for no reason."
"If he stays by Li Chang'an's side, he will be fine."
"I don't know when it started, but Li Chang'an's luck seems to have become more concentrated."
"And wherever he is, those closely associated with him will also be spared misfortune!"
Chu Caiwei nodded slowly, "In other words, Li Chang'an can not only dispel misfortune himself."
"It can also help those close to him ward off bad luck!"
Zhong Lishui's eyes were filled with longing. "Yes, he's someone who can bring good luck to people."
"But I am someone who brings trouble and misfortune to others."
"He was like a dazzling sun, while I was like an abyss of misfortune..."
“I...I don’t deserve to be with him.”
"So, Heaven allowed me to break through to the Array Master level so quickly, so that I could not stay by his side for long."
As Zhong Li spoke, Chu Caiwei's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
"I am now someone who can bring bad luck to people, while he is someone who can bring good luck to people."
"Looking at it this way, we're a perfect match!"
Zhong Li looked at Chu Caiwei with astonishment in her beautiful eyes.
Why is it that, in the same situation, Junior Sister Caiwei always manages to reach a conclusion that is favorable to her?
Zhong Li... seems to only feel that she is rejected by the world.
People's temperaments are really so different.
At this moment, Li Chang'an suddenly walked in from the door. Zhong Li froze instantly, her eyes darting around in a panic.
She looks just like a young girl in school, being punished by her teacher while her crush walks by.
“Zhong Li, you can stay in the Heavenly King’s Palace.” Li Chang’an smiled gently.
Zhong Li immediately relaxed a lot, "I thought so too..."
"No way!" Chu Caiwei shook her head emphatically, then crossed her arms in front of her chest, making a prohibition gesture.
"The supervisor said that Senior Sister Zhong must return to the Imperial Observatory."
"She needs to study the power of heaven and earth to drive array techniques, so she needs to go to the Imperial Observatory for seclusion."
Zhong Li slightly opened her mouth, her eyes filled with disappointment and sorrow.
She got out of bed and looked at the campus heartthrob who was about to transfer schools.
"Li Chang'an... I will come to find you when I have the chance."
"You're always welcome." The more fish in Li Chang'an's fishpond, the better.
After Zhong Li left with regret, it was finally Caiwei's turn to shine.
Li Chang'an stared into Chu Caiwei's eyes, which seemed to be avoiding his gaze, or perhaps testing her.
"Who was it that said they would marry me when they grew up?"
"As a result, there was no sign of them for more than two months."
Chu Caiwei walked to Li Chang'an's side, took his hand and started shaking it.
"Of course what they say counts, but even someone who has just broken through to become a prophet needs to go into seclusion for a while."
Li Chang'an did not answer. When he first arrived in the capital, Chu Caiwei had already declared that she had feelings for him.
Seeing that Li Chang'an didn't speak, Chu Caiwei pouted and said, "I have to thank you for enabling me to break through to become an alchemist."
"Really? How should I thank you?" Li Chang'an said indifferently.
Snapped!
Chu Caiwei leaned forward decisively and kissed Li Chang'an on the cheek.
Just like when the chicken essence was made, Chu Caiwei kissed Li Chang'an.
Li Chang'an had always suspected that it was the luck he had accumulated from being an emperor for two lifetimes that made Chu Caiwei develop feelings for him.
Because at that time, Chu Caiwei fell in love with him at first sight, and then frequently expressed her feelings.
The reason she confesses her feelings so frequently might be that she often forgets.
In the original story, she was someone who couldn't be flirted with; if she was flirted with, she would blush and then forget about it.
Therefore, Li Chang'an suspected that Chu Caiwei felt the same way about him.
I confessed my feelings, and then blushed and felt shy.
Then I forgot again soon after, so I did it all over again.
From this perspective, Chu Caiwei seems to be good at repeating monotonous tasks.
You might say she's devoted, but after confessing her feelings, she forgot what it felt like to be in love.
Then, his heart fluttered again, and he confessed his feelings once more.
You might call her promiscuous, but she's only ever confessed her feelings to one person.
“Caiwei, from today onwards, you will follow me.”
Chu Caiwei cheered excitedly, "Okay!"
Jianzhou.
Quanrong Mountain.
Cao Qingyang left the compound alone and headed towards the back mountain.
There is a man on the back mountain who is the same age as the nation.
The moonlight was dim, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
In terms of martial arts skills, Cao Qingyang is the number one martial artist in Jianzhou and the top of the martial arts rankings.
In terms of professional competence, Cao Qingyang has led the Jianzhou Martial Arts Alliance for more than ten years without making any major mistakes.
The Jianghu (martial arts world) order in Jianzhou is stable, and they even cooperate with the government to apprehend some Jianghu fugitives.
After trekking through the mountains for a quarter of an hour, a huge cliff suddenly appeared before us, with a stone gate at the base of the towering cliff.
The gate was tightly shut, and the entrance was covered with rotting leaves and overgrown with weeds.
Behind the stone gate lies Kou Yangzhou, the patriarch of the Martial Alliance and a peak third-rank martial artist.
Cao Qingyang doesn't come to this place often; he doesn't bother his ancestor unless it's something important.
Cao Qingyang arrived at the stone gate, bent his back, and spoke in a calm and respectful voice.
"Ancestor, I will try to obtain the nine-colored lotus root to help you break through the barrier."
There was no response from inside the door.
Cao Qingyang continued, "Since the Battle of Shanhai Pass twenty years ago, the strength of the Great Feng Kingdom has gradually weakened, and the court's control over the various prefectures has declined sharply. Disasters have been occurring in various prefectures, and my disciple has a premonition that great chaos is coming."
