He could still remember the look in Zhou Qianlin's eyes as she fell into his arms. There had been no pain or despair, no reluctance. There had only been satisfaction.
Satisfaction in protecting him.
He should have been the one to protect her, but she had sacrificed her life to protect him.
"Where's Zhou Qianlin?
Did you see her? "Lan Jue asked Xiu Xiu.
Xiu Xiu paused, his expression changing. He shook his head vigorously. "No, I didn't see her.
The Pharmacist brought you back. "
"You're awake?"
A low voice called out. Lan Jue turned to see Lan Qing, Huali, and Chu Cheng walking in.
Their faces were ugly, especially Huali. This was the first time Lan Jue had seen his handsome face so gloomy.
When he saw Lan Jue sitting there, he looked better.
Lan Jue nodded. "How long was I out?"
"Two nights and a day," Lan Qing answered.
Lan Jue was about to say something else, but Lan Qing cut her off. "Let's not talk too much. If there's nothing else, we need to go. The Clairvoyant is about to come out of seclusion."
Lan Jue's heart clenched. He wanted to know more about Zhou Qianlin's condition!
But now that he was fully awake, he tried to sense Zhou Qianlin's presence. To his surprise, he could sense her. She was alive. She was still alive.
Lan Jue's heart was at ease, and his spirits were lifted.
"Wait for me outside. I'll change my clothes and come out." He had already discovered that he was completely naked under the blanket.
Xiu Xiu blushed as he left.
It's not like I didn't see it.
Lan Jue got off the bed. He was still weak, like he'd lost too much blood. Everything that had happened came back to him.
The Astral Phantom!
I'll remember this.
One day, I'll return the pain you've inflicted on me and Qian Lin!
However, at the same time, he was also shocked by the ability that Luo Xianni had used at that time. He could not figure out how Luo Xianni had completely forced the poison out of his body.
It felt like she'd dissected his body to pieces, extracted the poison, and put him back together again.
That feeling.
He didn't want to try it a second time.
It had been too painful.
Lan Jue changed into a clean set of clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
Lan Qing placed a hand on Lan Jue's shoulder. Gentle energy flowed into him, and after a moment he nodded.
He placed a hand on Lan Jue's shoulder. Gentle energy flowed into Lan Jue's body. After a moment, he nodded.
What Lan Jue saw was murderous intent.
It was obvious who it was directed at!
Chu Cheng roared. "Astral Phantom, I'll wipe out Gorefiend one day!"
Huali's voice was low. "Not just them. The Astral Phantom has always been paid to do things. More importantly, he's the mastermind!"
Chu Cheng's voice was cold. "Who else could it be?
There are only a handful of people who can afford to use the Astral Phantom. It's either the Northern Alliance and Western Alliance officials, or the two castles and the Major League.
It's none other than them. "
Huali nodded.
Nodding his head, he said, "It can only be one of them.
How are you feeling, Ah Jue? "
Lan Jue said, "I'm fine.
Let's not talk about that.
Let's go see the Clairvoyant. "
The four of them left the Zeus Jewelry Shop and made their way to the Skyfire Museum.
As they walked, Lan Jue focused on himself. His body was brimming with energy, and he didn't seem to be suffering from any side effects.
It was Qianlin who saved my life again. This was the second time.
This time it was too sudden.
It was a huge blow to him. But even as he endured the blow, it shattered something in his heart.
Something in Lan Jue's heart had been shattered. Lan Jue's eyes were more determined than ever.
The Skyfire Museum was as quiet as ever.
But there was someone standing at the door.
When Lan Jue and the others approached, the Wine Master nodded to them. He didn't say anything more, but pushed the door open and led them inside.
As soon as Lan Jue entered the Skyfire Museum, he could feel a strange energy swirling around him. It was gentle, but strangely restrained. It seemed to have a calming effect.
Lan Qing, Huali, and Chu Cheng could feel it as well.
The hostility in their hearts seemed to dissipate under the influence of this calming energy.
They walked up the stone steps and continued inwards.
At the end of the steps were two ancient doors. A crowd was already gathered outside.
There were members of the Star Alliance, as well as the Keeper, Bookworm, and Gourmet.
Several senior members of the Skyfire Avenue Council were there as well.
The Pharmacist was there as well.
When she saw Lan Jue, she took the initiative to greet her. "Don't worry, Qian Lin is fine. I sent her away."
Lan Jue already knew what was going on. Now that she heard the Pharmacist's words, she felt more at ease.
Lan Jue nodded and focused his mind.
Everyone was silent, no one chatting. Although there were quite a number of people, the Museum was as quiet as ever.
Everyone's faces were dark. The fact that they were here meant they knew about the Clairvoyant's seclusion.
Three months from now, the Clairvoyant's seclusion was coming to an end. This was his last prophecy, and his life would come to an end.
Everyone waited in silence. No one spoke, no one spoke.
They all lowered their heads in unison.
The atmosphere was somber.
The wait went on for half an hour, but no one showed any signs of impatience. Many of them were familiar with divination and even hoped that the time would be longer. At least that way, the fortune-teller could live a little longer.
That was what they wanted to see.
At this moment, an old and familiar voice suddenly sounded, "Everyone, come in."
It was the Clairvoyant!
Everyone looked up at the voice.
The Clairvoyant's voice was as gentle as ever, but there was a sense of sadness in everyone's heart.
The two ancient doors slowly opened, and a fresh scent wafted out, carrying with it a hint of ultraviolet light.
The four Paragons, the Wine Master, Keeper, Bookworm, and Gourmet, stood at the forefront.
Behind them were the leaders of Skyfire Avenue, and the Four Divine Monarchs.
Behind the doors was a strange world.
Although they were only separated by a door, when they walked in, they felt as if they had stepped into the universe.
It was a strange feeling. Everything around them grew dark, and the doors slowly closed behind them.
In this circular space, the sky was filled with stars, and the surrounding was the universe illuminated by the starry sky.
Everyone felt different here. Lan Jue felt as though there were rays of light, shining from the stars overhead. Each ray seemed to be connected to something, some of it even related to her.
Lan Jue lifted his head to look at the stars, and the feeling became clearer. The stars in the sky shone with a gentle light.
Everyone's gloomy mood changed a little because of this mysterious world. At this moment, a bright star lit up in the distance. Starlight sprinkled down, and three figures became clear.
Two were tall, and one was short. The short one was Jun 'er. She was dressed in a beautiful yellow dress, and it only served to accentuate her beauty. To Lan Jue's surprise, however, Jun' er's eyes seemed to glow. In the middle of her forehead was a silver gemstone. It looked as though it had been glued to her forehead, or perhaps it was a third eye.
Feeling Lan Jue's gaze on her, Jun 'er smiled sweetly at him. She stood where she was and didn't approach.
Leading Jun 'er was a handsome middle-aged man. He wore a long, luxurious robe that was studded with gems of many different colors.
He had a pair of deep black eyes, and the depths of his eyes reflected the light of the starry sky.
At the man's side was the Photographer, Roxanne.
Roxanne's face was calm, and she didn't betray any emotion. She wore a pink dress that made her look younger and more energetic.
He was …
Lan Jue stared at the man in the middle. Although she didn't recognize him from the outside, she recognized his aura.
It was an aura that was ethereal, but profound.
"You're … the Clairvoyant?" Lan Jue's voice trailed off.
The Clairvoyant smiled and nodded at her. "In order to maintain my life, I had to make myself appear older and older to hide from the heavens.
I don't need that anymore. In fact, I prefer the way I look now. "
Now that he was the Clairvoyant, the crowd was shocked. Everyone who stood behind the Paragons bowed respectfully to the Clairvoyant.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony."
The Clairvoyant smiled. "I can feel your sorrow, but I must tell you that you don't need to feel this way. You don't need to be sad.
For me, leaving is a form of release. I can relax and find myself.
The souls of the Prophets won't fade away. All you need to do is keep in your hearts that the Eye of Tomorrow is watching Skyfire Avenue. That's enough. "
The Wine Master sighed. "Is there really no way to redeem it?"
The Clairvoyant smiled. "Redeem what?
If you haven't lost something, how can you redeem it?
I've called you all here today because I have a task for you all.
I can relax and leave, but humanity and Skyfire Avenue will still need you. "
