Just as Bize had said, Lan Jue could feel the Arrow of Compassion within him.
The Arrow of Kindness appeared in his mind, as if it would appear naturally with just a thought.
His own psychic energy seemed to solidify, even more so than before.
Aubert de Villaine walked over to Bize's side. "Bize, I …" he said softly.
Bize glared at him. "You don't have the right to speak here!
Didn't you say you wanted to be my slave?
From now on, you are my slave. "
Aubert de Villaine was overjoyed by her harsh words. Bize had forgiven him, and the two of them could be together again.
"Bize, don't worry.
I won't make the same mistake again. Even if you yell at me, beat me, I won't leave your side.
You suffered so much, and I'll use the rest of my life to pay you back.
I'll go wherever you go. Whatever you ask of me, I'll do it. "
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this like an old plaster?
However, Bize's expression softened a lot. "You may leave.
You can come here once a year. Someone needs to drink the wine we brew.
I'll have to trouble you to bring some necessities as well. "
Suddenly, de Villaine's face changed, as though he remembered something. He turned to the Wine Master. "Can I ask a favor?"
The Wine Master nodded. "Go ahead."
De Villaine was silent for a moment. "Because of my plans, I've been in contact with a few people in the Western Alliance.
Bize is back, and I don't want to do that anymore.
I want to avoid trouble.
With your power and ours combined, I plan to move Beaune to another location. Somewhere else on this planet. You can also help us set up a dimensional barrier. That way, no one will be able to disturb us. "
De Villaine's voice held some trepidation.
The Wine Master thought for a moment.
"Sir, if I may ask, who are you working with …?"
De Villaine shook his head. "I've decided not to work with them, but I can't betray the people I'm working with.
You can look it up yourselves, but I won't tell you.
You don't have to help us.
I won't force you. "
"No problem," the Wine Master answered without hesitation. "I'll help you two.
Coincidentally, my partner also needed some time to complete his epiphany.
Why don't we stay here for a few days? "
De Villaine nodded. Bize nodded as well.
Three Paragons together could do many things.
Although the area of this space was not small, with the combined efforts of the three of them, it was very easy to hide.
The Wine Master turned to Lan Jue. "Jewelry Master, are you going to stay, or leave?"
Lan Jue said without hesitation, "I'll be on my way. I still have some business to attend to. Once I'm done, I'll head to the Northern Alliance to participate in the Major League's Adept Tournament."
The Wine Master nodded. "Very well.
Then you go first.
Once I'm done here, I'll return to Skyfire Avenue with the beggar.
Be careful on the road. "
Lan Jue nodded, then turned her attention to the two Gods of Wine.
He said, "Congratulations to the two seniors for reconciling. I'll take my leave first."
Bize's face darkened. "I don't care if you call me Jewelry Master or Lan Jue. Listen well, kid. Qian Lin is my half-apprentice.
If you bully her, I'll break your legs. "
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "Rest assured, Master.
I'll be on my way. "
Aubert waved a hand in the air.
Suddenly, the waters of the Soulmirror Lake parted.
A passageway opened up.
Lan Jue leaped into the air like a bolt of lightning and was gone in a flash.
The lake closed once more. Bize turned her head to look at Aubert de Villaine. De Villaine's wrinkled face lit up with a smile. "What would you like to eat, my dear? I'll cook something for you."
Even the Wine Master, as calm as he was, couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the two old foes.
But at least, this matter had a happy ending.
And the two Gods of Wine were still alive!
His heart warmed, and he couldn't help but look forward to the days he would spend here.
Gates had told him that Aubert had brought the DRC's wine cellar with him.
A wine that had been aged for three hundred years …
Water splashed as Lan Jue emerged from the lake. In a flash of light he was on the shore.
His handsome face was a mask of mixed emotions. His eyes flickered. Silkworm's Thousand Arts, Thaumaturgy.
Qian Lin, you …
He pulled out some clothes for Zhou Qian Lin, then closed his eyes.
There was a flash of light, and Qianlin was separated from his body. She reached up and grabbed her clothes from the floor. She quickly put them on, covering her perfect body.
"It's done." Zhou Qian Lin's voice was low.
Lan Jue opened his eyes. Zhou Qian Lin was looking right at him. Their gazes met, and Lan Jue's eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
He really didn't know how to face Zhou Qian Lin.
She'd sacrificed so much for him, and yet he didn't know.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Lan Jue asked quietly.
Zhou Qian Lin's response was natural. "Why would I tell you?
To win your sympathy?
If I like it, then I like it. If I don't like it, then I don't like it.
It doesn't matter who I use my ability on. Since I've used it, why should I tell you?
In any case, with my Queen of Heaven Transformation's cultivation speed, it won't be long before I recover to the ninth rank.
Besides, it's not like I'm losing anything!
Granny Bess helped us combine our Disciplines. Now that I'm with you, I can even become an offensive Adept.
You've profited and taken advantage of me. "
She said it lightly, but the more she said it, the more Lan Jue's heart ached.
Looking at this young girl with a smile on her face, looking at this girl who was shining like a fairy, he could no longer hold back his impulse. He fiercely hugged her and tightly held her in his arms.
Zhou Qian Lin froze. Her pretty face broke into a faint smile. She rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"I wanted to see Granny Bess, but she let it slip. I'm a little embarrassed.
Do you think I should go see her again? "Zhou Qian Lin said softly.
Lan Jue shook her head. "You'll have plenty of chances to see her in the future.
Thank you, Qian Lin, for being so kind to me.
Thank you for saving my life. "
Zhou Qian Lin's body stiffened. She gently pushed Lan Jue away. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hear your thanks.
If it were my sister, she would have done the same.
I was just helping her.
Actually, I've always known that you only have my sister in your heart. Otherwise, with so many beautiful women around you, you would have found a partner a long time ago.
Sometimes I feel sad, but at the same time, I'm happy for my sister. At least she likes the right person.
Even though she's gone, you still love her so much.
"If you really appreciate me for saving your life, then I beg you, don't say that you like me out of gratitude.
If we do get together one day, I want it to be natural, not out of gratitude or anything else.
I don't want my love to be tainted, okay? "
Zhou Qian Lin's expression was calm as she said this. She looked Lan Jue in the eye seriously.
Under her gaze, Lan Jue couldn't get the words out. He was silent. Pursing his lips, he nodded. "Okay, I promise you."
Zhou Qian Lin smiled sweetly. She took two steps forward and took his hand. "This is really exciting.
I didn't expect it to be like this.
Granny Bess actually had a three-hundred-year love affair.
Where are we going next?
I wonder if the tour group has left. "
Lan Jue said, "Whether they've left or not, we can't go back.
We're going to another place.
To save someone. "
"Save someone?"
Zhou Qian Lin looked at him in surprise, and then her expression turned strange. "It's not a girl, is it?"
An awkward expression crossed Lan Jue's face. "Yes."
Zhou Qian Lin pursed her lips. "I knew it.
You … "
Lan Jue said, "That's why I asked you to come with me!
You'll supervise me closely. If I do anything out of line, you can beat me up. How about that? "
Zhou Qian Lin burst into laughter. "Okay, you said it.
I won't go easy on you. "
Lan Jue said with a smile, "Beat me up. I promise I won't fight back."
Zhou Qian Lin said angrily, "You're the lion!"
Lan Jue squeezed her hand. "Let's go!" The two of them rose into the air like lightning.
After what had happened, Lan Jue could clearly feel that Zhou Qian Lin's position in her heart had changed.
More importantly, the barrier between the two of them seemed to have disappeared by a lot.
Perhaps it really would take time to change completely, but Lan Jue was starting to feel a little more confident.
After searching the Barrows for a while, the two of them had become very familiar with the planet's terrain. Soon, they found a civilian spaceship base.
When they had bought the tickets, Lan Jue had thought that they might be influenced by Li Cha, but that had not happened.
Perhaps it was because the beggar was a big enough deterrent.
In fact, that was the case. The threat of a peak Ninth Level Arcanist was extremely terrifying. Li Cha had been forcibly taken away from the Barrows by the Ninth Level Arcanist who was guarding him.
All operations against Zhou Qian Lin and Lan Jue had been canceled.
After buying the tickets, Lan Jue decided to take Zhou Qian Lin to have a big meal before boarding the spaceship. They had been eating and sleeping in the open for the past few days. It was really hard.
Although most of the people here were vegetarian, they all had a good time eating.
However, Lan Jue had a faint worry in her heart. The place they were going to next was likely to be more dangerous than Bourne Town.
