210: Chapter 98 Waiting on the Dragon Viewing Platform 210: Chapter 98 Waiting on the Dragon Viewing Platform Noon ca, and Zhang Xiaoman returned ho for lunch.
Sharing her progress with her mom, she instantly felt her mood lighten.
Afterwards, she went downstairs to walk Xiao Hua and even ran into two familiar neighbors.
Zhang Xiaoman stopped to chat for a while, savoring the relaxed post-al atmosphere before heading back ho.
By this ti, her mother had already left, probably to look at houses.
Zhang Xiaoman knew she seed to have a target in mind, and these past few days, it appeared she was negotiating a price with them.
The villa her mother was eyeing wasn’t expensive, especially compared to the prices in Qionghua City.
Not only was it spacious, but it also ca with a small garden and a garage.
The only downside was the location.
But Zhang Xiaoman didn’t care about such things.
Villas and the like, she felt she wouldn’t lack in the future.
Her main focus now was on the Star Alliance, and to her, such a villa was nothing more than a temporary change of residence.
After resting for a bit, Zhang Xiaoman checked her phone—it was almost ti for the eting.
Brother Hero should be arriving soon, right?
Just as this thought crossed her mind, there ca a knock on the door, followed by the familiar voice of Brother Hero.
“Xiao Man, I’m here!”
…
A few monts later, inside the Zhang family’s bedroom “airport,” Brother Hero was staring at the hovering anti-gravity car with a face full of surprise.
He pointed a chubby finger at his nose and asked,
“Really?
Xiao Man, you an to tell I get to drive it there by myself!?”
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him and threw a wet blanket on his enthusiasm, “Don’t get too excited.
Do you even know how to operate it?
I ant for you to ride there by yourself, not actually drive it.”
“Ah?”
Seeing his clueless expression, Zhang Xiaoman said helplessly, “I’ve already set the course in the car.
Just sit tight when you get in, and you should reach the destination in about an hour.”
Brother Hero then realized what she ant.
“You an it’s autonomous driving?
Yeah, with technology this advanced, it’s normal to have this feature.
But Xiao Man, aren’t you coming with ?
How will you get there later?”
Zhang Xiaoman opened the car door, signaling him to get inside.
“I’ve got so things to take care of.
You go ahead by yourself for now, and I’ll get there by other ans.”
As she said this, she glanced at Brother Hero sitting in the pilot seat and reminded him, “Don’t ss with any of these panels in front of you…
Never mind, I’ve locked them anyway.
You couldn’t tamper with them even if you wanted to.
The car will first make a trip to Callia City to pick soone up.
Just co with them when they arrive.”
Brother Hero looked taken aback.
“Is soone else going to awaken with ?”
“Yes, this ti, there are two of you including yourself.
The other is a man in his nineties.
When you see him, don’t talk too much about .”
Brother Hero nodded his head in agreent, “Don’t worry, Xiao Man, you know I’ve always been tight-lipped…
By the way, who is this old gentleman?”
Zhang Xiaoman waved her hand dismissively, “His na is Ye Cang.
You can ask him yourself when the ti cos.
It’s getting late now, you should head off.”
After speaking, she operated her bracelet a few tis, and the door of the anti-gravity car closed instantly.
Stealth mode activated, and then it left silently and without a trace.
“Brother Hero, you know too much already.
I can only choose to make you an Awakener as well, so at the very least you’ll have so ans to protect yourself.
This so-called ‘Extraordinary World’ might not be as wonderful as you imagine…”
Zhang Xiaoman murmured to himself before drawing the curtains closed once again, activated his Infinite Teleportation Skill, and went to Lin Sisi’s ho.
He still needed to guide the girl on how to use the Starry Stone.
…
In Callia City, atop Dragon Sleep Mountain.
In front of the Dragon Viewing Platform, four figures stood in succession.
Among the four, the eldest was the Sect Leader of this place, an elderly gentleman over ninety years old, Ye Cang.
Behind Ye Cang stood three people: Ye Yunxiu, Ye Fei, and Manager Sun.
Ye Fei’s face was still a bit pale at this ti, and his right hand area, where a sleeve dangled at his side, was clearly empty, indicating that he had lost an arm.
After the last incident, with the treatnt from Zhang Xiaoman’s Four-leaf Flower and the care provided by Mr.
Ye over the past few days, he was now able to get out of bed and walk.
Unfortunately, however, that severed right arm would never return.
Ye Fei was looking into the distance with a complex expression on his face, as if waiting for sothing.
The others had adopted the sa posture, all standing still and gazing out from the Dragon Viewing Platform.
“Great-Grandpa, do you think that person will really co?
Or maybe in so kind of flying machine…”
Ye Fei was the first to break the silence, speaking of the event that had happened at Shade Peak with disbelief.
If it weren’t for the constant reminder of his empty right sleeve, he would have even thought it was all just a terrible nightmare.
Ye Cang turned his head to look at his most beloved great-grandson and corrected him, “Don’t keep saying ‘that person, this person.’ He is your lifesaver; you should address him as Lord Jixing.”
Ye Fei drooped his head and replied quietly, “I understand…”
Ye Cang continued, “Lord Jixing has already told that he will et here, and then we will go to that place…”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but lift his head again, his face showing anticipation,
“Great-Grandpa, where exactly is that place you ntioned?
And that…
Lord Jixing, who is he?
Can’t you tell about these things…”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Yunxiu, standing beside him, imdiately interjected, chastising, “Ye Fei!
Don’t ask questions that aren’t for you to ask!
If there’s anything you need to know, Great-Grandpa will naturally tell you!”
Though he spoke in such a way, his own eyes betrayed a longing and desire.
Ye Cang knew what they were all thinking.
Who wouldn’t yearn for an Extraordinary World?
This was true for Ye Fei, and even more so for his grandson Ye Yunxiu, who, like himself, was deeply committed to the pursuit of the Righteous Path.
Nevertheless, he still shook his head slightly and said,
“I know you’re curious, but I still can’t tell you about it.
Until I have Lord Jixing’s permission, I cannot reveal the secret.
You must do as I do, absolutely no talking, not even half a word!”
Seeing everyone nodding, he turned his gaze back to Ye Fei, “Xiao Fei, when Lord Jixing arrives, you need to take the initiative to apologize to him, and then thank him for saving your life last ti.
Have you got that?”
“I understand, Great-Grandpa.”
Seeing this, Ye Cang humd a response, then turned his head back to continue watching the sky beyond the Dragon Viewing Platform.
Just as everyone was preparing to wait further, a strange ripple spread through the air about 5 ters in front of them, and a black figure silently erged.
The eerie manner of arrival and its futuristic appearance instantly drew the eyes of all present.
