175 – Interlude, Nighttime Talk Under the Moon (II)

She raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “– Xue Qilin, you made me lose face in public . ”

Just like she said, there are clearly several gazes aiming at them from different directions . After all, the attention of the entire Leisure Inn is focused on Beiming Youyu at this time . It is impossible for the Heaven Realm masters not to care about a Grandmaster’s actions .

As a result, they have witnessed Beiming Youyu loose her cool just now . This is really embarrassing to this Hua dynasty’s Grandmaster .

“Sorry, it’s really — ha-ha-ha . ”

Xue Qilin laughed even harder .

As she laughed, she even held her belly and rolled around on the roof .

Upon seeing this, Beiming Youyu raised her eyebrows higher and higher, making one wonder if the pure white, slim eyebrows would just jump out of her face .

In fact, Beiming Youyu is already being quite restrained . If it was Qi Qiqi instead, Xue Qilin would have eaten a punch from a small fist already .

Suddenly, Beiming Youyu shed all dissatisfaction from her face .

She shifted her gaze away from Xue Qilin and looked into the horizon . After noticing her action, Xue Qilin’s smile was dispelled by the increasingly obscure figure .

A lonely shade is mixed in with the pure white radiance .

Well, at this moment, Beiming Youyu looks exactly the same as the first time Xue Qilin met her, like she will disappear with the wind in the next second .

What is she looking at? Xue Qilin’s mind shivered . She can’t stand the feeling that Beiming Youyu will slip away at anytime .

Before long, Beiming Youyu sighed softly, desolate .

“– Xue Qilin, take the step . ”

An abrupt remark sounded .

Xue Qilin tilted her head, puzzled .

“Which step? Could you be a bit more specific!”

Beiming Youyu turned her head and looked at Xue Qilin .

Inside the purple eyes, there is sincere expectation, which is entangled with sorrow .

“The step across the line between the Heaven Realm and the Grandmaster Realm . ”

Xue Qilin is stunned by the unexpected answer .

Whether it is Beiming Youyu’s choice of content or timing, both are really excessive . Xue Qilin doesn’t understand where this is coming from .

Why... all of a sudden, do I have to ascend to the Grandmaster Realm? Since she can’t figure it out, Xue Qilin could only ask .

“Why did you say this all of a sudden? What’s more, the Grandmaster Realm is not a realm you can step into just because you want to . ”

At this point, Xue Qilin rolled her eyes .

“You think that much like when ascending to the Heaven Realm from the Earth Realm, the cultivation base will naturally advance?”

“You’re already very close — all you need now is an opportunity . ”

“Of course I know that!” Xue Qilin pulled back her legs and put her chin between her knees .

Because she is currently wearing a long dress she borrowed from Gong Tianqing, she isn’t worried about exposing herself .

“But the ‘opportunity’ you speak of is where the problem lies!”

The reason why the Grandmaster Realm is so aloof is that it not only requires the cultivation base of a martial practitioner to nearly reach the heaven, but it also requires the martial practitioner to pry into “heaven’s will” .

Heaven’s will — or in other words, the mysteries of heaven .

Qi Qiqi once explained to Xue Qilin what the thing called “heaven’s will” is . But to tell the truth, Xue Qilin didn’t quite understood what is is .

She, who was born in the era of the systems theory [1], whose way of thinking is completely inclined towards the modern mainstream, is at her wits end when it comes to mysterious things .

The people of the Hua dynasty excel in the field of association and analogy, which is very different from the modern strict logical way of thinking . This alone is enough to form a huge difference in the process and the entry point of concepts between the two .

Therefore, she simply couldn’t understand the concept of “heaven’s will” .

“Heaven’s will is a chance to survive . Only by finding life on the field death, will there be a glimmer of hope to pry into the outline of heaven’s will . ”

Beiming Youyu seems to be deep in thought . She may have experienced death .

“Do you mean to tell me to find a cliff and jump off, to see if I can meet a hidden sage, under whose tutelage I shall gain insight in the heaven’s will and thus become a Grandmaster?”

Xue Qilin joked unhappily . Consequently, Beiming Youyu looks like she is contemplating earnestly .

“Um... if you are lucky enough, it may be worth a try . ”

“Give me a break, don’t you think there’s a greater chance that I fall to my death?”

Xue Qilin ridiculed emotionally .

However, Beiming Youyu, who remains unfazed, replied with a stern face, “Xue Qilin, I’m not joking, I’m being serious . ”

“As you must know, nothing can squeeze out a person’s potential more than ‘death’ . ”

Xue Qilin is at a loss for words .

In the face of death, a person can exert power beyond their imagination — this is an undeniable fact proven by thousands of years of history .

“In fact, speaking plainly, it is the unearthing of a talent . Vajrayana’s Asura’er’s supreme defense, the northern kingdom’s Lone Sly Wolf’s arms integration, and my — Moonlight Omnia’s star chaser, they are talents we got after prying into heaven’s will . With my eyes, which were originally very good, I could see farther than others . Therefore, after entering in contact with heaven’s will, I gained unparalleled eyesight .

The noble purple eyes shone with some kind of radiance .

“Think about it, Xue Qilin, think about it hard and long... think about what your talent is, and then devise ways to strengthen it . ”

“My talent...?”

Honestly speaking, Xue Qilin never thought of herself as someone with outstanding talent . She is just a plain ordinary person, with neither superior aptitude nor astounding luck .

In the past, she was not a famous wizard, but barely a third-rate . If it wasn’t for Qi Guiyuan’s help, she might not even be able to reach the Earth Realm .

What sort of talent does she posses? Qi Qiqi has an indescribable martial arts insight and Shui Yun’er can freely manipulate water qi . But what about her? What can she do?

To put it bluntly, it may be that she has a fairly average five-element affinity and can operate the spiritual qi of the five elements, with the exception of earth spiritual qi, rather well .

However, she is still not as good as Xihe in this respect .

Even so, this is her one and only advantage .

Unconsciously, Xue Qilin creased her eyebrows more and more, perplexed .

She has no definite answer, only a questionable conjecture .

Xue Qilin suddenly realized that she doesn’t understand herself as well as she imagined .

“– Xue Qilin, there is no time . ”

Beiming Youyu’s voice pulled Xue Qilin out of her swirling thoughts .

“There is no time? Why is there no time?”

“The undercurrents from five years ago are about to surface . The darkness lurking in the abyss of the imperial palace is deeper and thicker than you and I have imagined . Therefore, in order to protect your loved ones –”

Beiming Youyu closed her eyes and said in an unquestionable tone, “Become a Grandmaster, Xue Qilin . ”

The warning took deep root in Xue Qilin’s heart .

At this moment, Xue Qilin still doesn’t know —
