Chapter 83: Ripples (Second Update)

  Returning to Piaoyu Castle again, Yi Chi couldn't help but feel a sense of homecoming.

  "When did I start considering this place as my true home?" She asked herself, but her mind flashed with the images of Autumn Rain and her father, Yi Yun.

  "Hehe, with these two guys around, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this place. As for why he didn't think of Qiu Xue himself, Yi Chi didn't think much about it either. He rarely thought about Qiu Xue now, and even when he did, he just treated her as Qiu Yu's sister."

  "First love! It's gone just like that, haha." With a slight touch of emotion, Yi Chi lifted his feet and headed towards the Yi family home, where he had become another home, one that was different from Earth.

  ......

  After entering the Yi family, Yi Chi also chatted with a few Yi family members who looked relatively pleasing to him on the road. He really hadn't said much to them before, but now that Yi Chi had opened up his heart, he slowly began to accept them.

  "Hehe, let's stop here for today. Next time we meet, you must take me to experience it!" Yi Chi smiled and bid farewell to a member of the Yi family. This was someone he had just met, a collateral relative from a side branch. Specifically, Yi Chi didn't know much about him, only that his name was Yi Bu Hui.

  "Alright then, see you later, Big Brother Yi." Yi Bu Hui also knew that it was getting late now. After bidding farewell to Yi Chi, he too turned around and left.

  Yi Chi looked at Yi Bu Hui's back again and smiled lightly for a while.

  "What a fun guy." Thinking of his excited look when he just greeted him, Yi Chi also burst out laughing.

  "Looks like another person with a story." However, other people's affairs are always their own, and he and Yi Chi can only be considered as passing acquaintances, not even the most basic friends. Even if he was in trouble, Yi Chi didn't feel it necessary to help him.

  This world is so realistic, if someone has a problem and you go to help them every time, wouldn't they be busy to death? Besides, Yi Chi isn't that kind of good person, on the contrary, Yi Chi thinks he's a bad person.

  "It's hard to be a good person! Being a bad person is slightly better, people need to be selfish sometimes, otherwise living would be too tiring." After occasionally sighing, Yi Chi put it out of his mind and soon forgot what Yi Bu Hui said earlier about taking him to experience something.

  ......

  It's Jinghe Courtyard again.

  Yi Chi smelled a delicious aroma from afar and his stomach growled loudly.

  "You're really disappointing." With a chuckle and a pat on his belly, Yi Chi lifted his foot and walked in.

  In the courtyard, Qiuyu and Qixue were sitting waiting for Yichi. When they heard the sound of the door opening, both of them quickly turned their heads to look over.

  "Master!" Autumn Rain called out and ran over. Autumn Snow had also wanted to go, but hesitated for a moment before sitting back down.

  Autumn rain suddenly hugged Yi Chi.

  Yi Chi smiled and patted Xiaoyao's back after a slight pause.

  "What's wrong, are you in a hurry?" Yi Chi pushed open the door and said lightly as he looked at her.

  "En." The little girl nodded honestly and bluntly.

  Made Yi Chi burst out laughing.

  "That's good, but you're wrong, young master." With a smile, he gently stroked her nose and then handed over the necklace that was originally meant for her.

  "Here, I'm giving it to you!" Yi Chi pinched Xiaoyao's cheek pouch with one hand and handed the box containing the necklace to Qiuyu with the other.

  "Wow, give it to me, give it to me." Autumn rain, who was originally dissatisfied with Yi Chi pinching her face, immediately grabbed the gift from Lima.

  "Hehe." Smiling as he watched her unwrap the gift, Yi Chi turned to look at Qiu Xue.

  If it were a day ago, Yi Chi might still be disappointed that she didn't run up to welcome him, but now he wouldn't. In his eyes, Qiu Xue was just a failed romance, an immature first love.

  "It's still this feeling that's good. Speaking of which, why did I like Qiuxue in the first place?" Even now, Yi Chi hasn't figured out why he liked her.

  "Maybe it's her calm temperament?" Xiao Xiao guessed a little, and Yi Chi didn't think about it anymore. He was that kind of person, when he wanted to pursue something, he would work very hard, but once he gave up, he wouldn't think about it again.

  However, Yi Hang still had to be dealt with, and just for Autumn Rain alone, he couldn't let him off. The thought that Yi Hang might have killed Autumn Rain's entire family made Yi Chi furious.

  "But..." thinking of those exchanges he heard last time, Yi Chi smiled again.

  "Maybe they won't even need to lift a finger themselves." Thinking of those so-called messengers and masters, I'm afraid they won't be able to complete their task this time, and things won't go well for them.

  "Poor kid, what's wrong with playing normally, but has to join the gang instead. What a jinxed kid." Yi Chi, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but tease him a little more.

  "Autumn snow." He walked over to the table and sat down, calling out after taking a bite of food.

  "Huh?" Autumn Snow raised her head and glanced at Yi Chi.

  "Give it to you." Yi Chi took out another box and handed it over politely, although she was sent by Yi Xing, but she hadn't actually harmed herself, had she? Moreover, her own secrets weren't something that could be pried into by her, most importantly, she was still Autumn Rain's sister, and Yi Chi really couldn't treat her poorly, or else it would hurt Autumn Rain's heart.

  "Thank you." After receiving the box handed over by Yichi, Qiuxue also felt that Yichi was a little different.

  "He's changed." After some thought, she could only describe her inner feelings in this way too.

  ......

  That evening, Yi Chi happily had dinner with the two sisters. After dinner, he also played with Qiu Yu for a while, which was considered as atonement for making her wait for so long.

  The next morning.

  Yi Chi went to his father's place, which was also a way of asking about him. Of course, the main reason he wanted to hear some news about his disappearance. Recently, Yi Chi didn't plan on going out anymore. He needed to properly arrange things for what was coming next, and his journey through the Mystic Forest was also being put on schedule.

  Although Yi Chi is temporarily not lacking in energy points, he absolutely won't mind having a few more of his own.

  Moreover, he should go out and improve his strength, it's been a long time since he last improved.

  ......

  Yi Chi sat in the guest seat, listening to his father's chatter, but his ears were filtering out a string of information.

  Some unimportant things were selectively forgotten by Yi Chi, while those important ones were remembered.

  "Hey, didn't you see how crazy those people were yesterday? They've gone mad!" Yi Yun sighed.

  He is now talking about those people from Lian Tian Auction House.

  Their leader was beaten half to death, while they were unscathed and uninjured. How can this be explained?

  So they started searching in full swing, of course, they were not looking for the super master who had transformed from Yi Chi, even if they had eight hundred guts, they didn't dare to look for him, what they were looking for was information about that person.

  If they knew who he was, what his name was and what his background was, then when they went back they would have something to report and wouldn't be punished too severely.

  Unfortunately, they were disappointed and didn't find it after half a day. The only one who was slightly familiar was a alchemist named Ge Fan from this branch, but he also didn't know what the other person's name was, what he did, or where he came from. He only knew that the other person could refine pills, was an alchemist, and was even an alchemist who could refine perfect elixirs, but everything else was unknown.

  This made them anxious again, and then there was another good search, unfortunately, the result was still the same.

  Just this morning, they felt like going to a nearby city to inquire, it seems that they won't consider returning until they find out.

  "This poor bunch of guys, how could they possibly find out? Unless they can search the whole earth." thought Yi Chi.

  "Yi'er! Don't go out for the next few days, just stay at home and take care of yourself. It's going to be chaotic outside." Yi Yun said to Yi Chi who was deep in thought.

  Yi Chi looked at Yi Yun and nodded, saying: "Father, I've also heard about that matter, is it true? That thing."

  Yi Chi was naturally talking about that fragment of the Divine Language Technique, he didn't know what it meant, but perhaps as the father of the Fighting King, he did? So he thought to try and get some information out.

  With a complex gaze, he looked out at the sky outside and said in a deep tone, "Ah, this sky! It's going to rain."

  Yi Chi furrowed his brow, he naturally knew that the sky was going to change, otherwise, the people from the auction house wouldn't have so blatantly revealed that divine scroll. However, what he wanted to know wasn't your sighs of regret.

  "Dad, is that thing scary?" Yichi asked, bending around the corner.

  Looking back at Yi Chi, Yi Yun said with a hint of fear: "Terrible, it's not just terrible! It will definitely bring disaster to the mainland."

  "Disaster?" Yi Chi murmured this word, thinking about its deeper meaning.

  "Are you saying that the mainland will be in chaos? Then, how chaotic will it be?" The mainland will be in chaos, this made Yi Chi think of the Earth during World War II.

  "War! It seems that the mainland is going to war again, but I don't know who will be fighting whom this time." Yi Chi thought for a moment and felt that this might be his chance to rise up, although it was also very dangerous. After all, it's said that there are only several decades or even just over ten years left until that time.

  Unfortunately, this war completely exceeded everyone's expectations on the continent. It started too quickly.

  Now, the top echelons of various empires have just received news of the birth of the Divine Language. In their view, this war is nothing more than helping the gods' divine children fight for the remaining fragments of the Divine Language. Getting it would be good, but not getting it wouldn't result in significant losses. To them, those weak kingdoms and principalities are no match, while they themselves are evenly matched, with none able to gain the upper hand. In the end, it will all come to nothing. The previous time, and even the time before that, were the same - wasn't it just the destruction of a few kingdoms and dozens of principalities? No big deal.

  Unfortunately, this time it was destined to be different.

  P.S: Haha, why is it different? Of course, it's because there's a main character now, haha.
