Rumble!
Crack!
The dull sound of thunder rang out, and a lightning bolt that pierced the sky illuminated the sky over both the east and west cities.
Large raindrops hit human skin, a tinge of coolness seeping through the pores, making people involuntarily shrink.
The rainwater washed away the bloodstains clean.
Watching as Lord Little Six called people to take away the bodies of the four burly n, Liu Zixuan and others also got into the car.
With a swipe, Liu Zixuan flicked the raindrops off his hair tips, smiled faintly, and said, "An autumn rain and a chill, winter is coming soon!"
"Yes, in a few months it'll be the holiday season." Crazy Zhou took several long puffs of his cigarette: "This Celestial Capital, it's colder than Ghost Wood City!"
Liu Zixuan grinned with a sense of lancholy: "It's destined to be an extraordinary winter."
Having said that, he started the car and headed toward Yuquan Bar.
For others, day after day is the sa, but the soon-to-co winter, besides facing the biting wind and snowstorm, Liu Zixuan also has to confront the Willow Association that once saw him as an ant.
Sister An could discern the underlying aning in Liu Zixuan's words just now, but any words at this ti would be pale; the only thing she could do was support him silently.
After dropping Sister An and Crazy Zhou at Yuquan Bar, Liu Zixuan went straight back to Luo Xi's place.
...
A night without words.
Next morning.
Liu Zixuan got out of bed, walked to the window, and directly pulled open the floor-length curtains.
A faint earthy fragrance wafted in, and the ray of first sunlight instantly spread into every corner of the room.
Liu Zixuan stretched, feeling the unique sensation of the morning.
Luo Xi, in pajamas, stood by his side, gently holding his arm, murmuring: "What are you looking at still?"
"Don't you feel that the Celestial Capital, after being washed by rainwater, looks even more beautiful?"
Liu Zixuan smiled.
Luo Xi examined carefully: "It still looks the sa! What's different about it?"
"No, it's quite different." Liu Zixuan smiled slightly: "After just one night, those who boasted to be big figures and their die-hard confidants will all be eliminated by Lord Little Six. From now on, there will be no danger to us in Celestial Capital."
As he spoke, Liu Zixuan gently hugged Luo Xi: "Don't you find it all turning beautiful?"
Luo Xi pouted and said: "You n, always talking with hidden anings."
"But, this beauty you've given , I like it very much!"
Listening to Luo Xi's change of tone, Liu Zixuan affectionately kissed her forehead and then took her to freshen up together.
Throughout the night, Lord Little Six and the others hadn't rested, almost searching through every possible place, looking for those remaining loyalists hidden in Celestial Capital.
For them, so many hidden dangers were gone, and the future allowed them to live peacefully in Celestial Capital.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Zixuan and Luo Xi went to Yuquan Bar together.
Everyone sat in the office, and Liu Zixuan looked at Huzi.
"You should already know the general situation, for now, you'll need to stay in Celestial Capital."
Huzi nodded: "Since Brother Xuan trusts this much, I'll definitely work hard. However, I'm not familiar with picking personnel."
Liu Zixuan had previously ntioned that the people Huzi trained must be highly potential, but Huzi, not being a native of Celestial Capital, would find it challenging to locate them.
Sister An spoke up: "On this matter, the Diwu Clan and the Upper Three Gates will assist you; you just need to follow Zixuan's instructions to train them."
"No problem."
Huzi nodded solemnly: "I know Brother Xuan has big plans for the future. Since he's given such an important task, I'll do my best to complete it, not only training a strong team but also honing myself to truly beco his right-hand man when he embarks on his big endeavors!"
Liu Zixuan smiled with relief: "With those words, that's enough."
Huzi stood up: "Then I'll go familiarize myself with the environnt over there first."
"Okay."
After Huzi left, Liu Zixuan looked at Sister An: "Let's leave Luo Xi with you. I'll go do sothing with Uncle Zhou."
"Celestial Tea House?" Sister An asked.
Liu Zixuan's lips curled slightly: "Yes, I've got the Ghost Gate Needle, but I haven't visited the Seven-Star Tomb yet. Besides, I need to visit the Celestial Secret Pavilion to chat with Old Qiu."
"Be careful." Although Sister An didn't know what was in the Seven-Star Tomb, she understood that the Seven-Star Tomb, being such a mysterious existence, would certainly have its dangers.
After all, as the old saying goes, opportunities often coexist with dangers.
Liu Zixuan responded and walked out of Yuquan Bar with Crazy Zhou.
...
Fifteen minutes later, at Celestial Tea House.
Looking at the familiar building, Liu Zixuan exclaid: "I rember the first ti I ca, it was by soone else's grace; considering my identity back then, I didn't have the capital to enter!"
Crazy Zhou glanced at Liu Zixuan: "Do you have to show off like that? Is there still a place in Celestial Capital where you can't go now?"
"I'm just lanting." Liu Zixuan retorted angrily.
"Based on your lanting words just now, I think when you're not doing anything soday, you can take up writing, beco a literary youth writer. Those sentintal words will surely draw many young girls to read them."
Crazy Zhou muttered.
Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly: "I'll seriously consider it. By then, I'll leave your daughter in Ghost Wood City and travel all over looking for my little fangirls to date!"
"You dare!" Crazy Zhou was instantly enraged.
Liu Zixuan didn't waste any more words with him and got out of the car, heading toward Celestial Tea House.
What Liu Zixuan said was right; Celestial Tea House is a place too upscale for ordinary people to enter, even if you have money. You need wealth and status far beyond the ordinary to qualify.
When Liu Zixuan first ca to Celestial Capital, he indeed had money, but his fa in Celestial Capital was negligible.
However, after the last battle, who didn't know his prestigious na!
Just as he got to the entrance, a middle-aged man greeted him. He said respectfully: "Master Xuan, here for tea?"
"Are you the owner here?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I am Wu Changgui, the owner here."
Liu Zixuan nodded slightly: "I'd like to see the water source in your backyard, can I?"
Wu Changgui was taken aback, then rapidly nodded: "Of course, it's no problem, but you should know our rules here — you can look, but no taking for research."
"Then from now on, let's change this rule..." Liu Zixuan glanced at Wu Changgui and headed straight to the backyard!
When you're nothing, what you say is nothing, but when you're above everyone else, any rules beco re fixtures, and what you say becos the rule!
Those standing at the Peak can disregard everything!
