Chapter 279 The Wind and Snow in Heaven Capital
The autumn was about to pass by.
The early winter was coming.
The first snow fell in Heaven Capital this year.
Snowflakes were falling at midnight and in the dawn, neither big nor small, as if they never stopped.
The chilling east wind was whistling in every corner of Changdao. Snow fell on the ground quietly, and the world was white.
Heaven Capital’s airport was still operating.
Daybreak entered the airport through the VIP tunnel and got out of the car. He looked up at the snowflakes in the air with gentle eyes.
He wore white clothes.
The land was covered with snow.
It was a cold and warm picture.
In the airport, countless meetings and partings happened. The buses for airport pickup shuttled back and forth. In white, Daybreak stood still as a statue.
It was 11 o’clock in the morning.
The wind and snow were getting harsher.
With a huge roar in the air, a silver private plane slowly landed on the runway that had just been cleaned up.
Daybreak who had been covered with snow moved forward.
A cold and dreamlike young figure strolled down the gangway ladder.
In a black coat, a woman faced up to the wind and snow in Heaven Capital, being delicate and indifferent.
She was colder than biting wind.
She was more beautiful than falling snow.
With a faraway look, Daybreak smiled and whispered, “Boss Qin, welcome to Heaven Capital.”
“The name ‘Heaven Capital’ sounds good.”
Qin Weibai walked down the ladder, stepped on the snow with heels, and said softly.
Daybreak laughed without words and reached out to make a gesture.
Flaming Fire behind Qin Weibai quickly took several steps and opened the door for her.
Qin Weibai sat in the car.
The black car was driving in the white Heaven Capital.
Qin Weibai looked at the falling snow outside the window and suddenly asked, “How is His Highness doing?”
“He has been in a good mood lately. He’s doing internal affairs of East Island recently. There are many things, so he can’t pick you up personally.”
Daybreak smiled decently and said, “Boss Qin, His Highness has prepared a welcome dinner to you in Sky-view Pavilion.”
Sky-view Pavilion was like Heaven Capital. Both were new names and located in the center of Heaven Capital. It was originally a hotel and could be said as the tallest building in the whole Heaven Capital. When Purgatory of Heaven Capital appeared, Changdao was renamed as Heaven Capital. The tallest hotel in Changdao became the temporary headquarters of Purgatory of Heaven Capital. It renamed as Sky-view Pavilion and ranked the second of Divine List. Deities of Purgatory of Heaven Capital were living in the top floor of Sky-view Pavilion.
Qin Weibai merely said “Um”.
Staring out of the window, she looked a little tired and weak.
The car walked through the quiet ambiance, getting close to the Sky-view Pavilion.
Daybreak did not get off the car but turned his head with little apology. He said softly, “Boss Qin, sorry, I still have some things to handle. His Highness was waiting for you up there. I’ll ask someone to take you up.”
Qin Weibai nodded without remark and opened the door to get off, with Flaming Fire.
Daybreak started, leaped forward at a faster speed, and went straight to the airport.
The engine roared in the snow.
Daybreak held the steering wheel, and his hands were slightly trembling.
His hunky face was full of great essence, qi, and spirit. His eyes were not cold but sharp and bright.
The vehicle rushed straight into the airport at an almost flying speed.
A passenger plane flying from overseas to Heaven Capital landed at the airport 20 minutes ago.
Two middle-aged men who looked extremely simple were standing at the airport door.
Wearing plain cloth gown and shoes, they looked dull, which was inconsistent with Heaven Capital.
However, they still looked calm. Seeing no one to pick themselves up, they were not anxious but just standing silently.
Daybreak ran into the airport pickup hall.
He first discovered the two plain men who were being watched by various eyes.
It was a meeting after so many years.
Daybreak stiffly stayed in situ. He was shaking with excitement, but for a moment, he dared not to go forward.
The two middle-aged men who were silently waiting also noticed Daybreak’s handsome and coquettish face.
They did not know this face.
However, the expression in his eyes was familiar.
The two men slightly frowned.
Daybreak trotted along and squeezed them.
“Welcome.”
He tried his best to calm down, but he held them closer and closer, “Welcome back, my brothers.”
...
Sky-view Pavilion was 68 stories high and resembled a pyramid. It was the most distinctive building in Heaven Capital, but now it was the most influential building in Heaven Capital.
An elite of Purgatory of Heaven Capital took Qin Weibai and Flaming Fire into the elevator with respect.
The elevator stopped on the 66th floor.
On the top two floors, there was no elevator but a spiral staircase. Anyone who arrived here must walk up.
The elite of Purgatory of Heaven Capital did not move forward but bowed and made a gesture to Qin Weibai.
Qin Weibai looked around. The 66-story Sky-view Pavilion was covered with glass.
The glass was firm and transparent. At any corner of the 66th floor, one could appreciate the beautiful scenery of the Heaven Capital by looking down from a height.
It was snowing.
Snowflakes were falling from the sky. Standing on a high place and looking at the flying snow, Qin Weibai suddenly felt lonely.
It was a spontaneous emotion while standing in a high place.
It was not lonely at the top.
Qin Weibai stopped and then she stepped on the stairs.
The scenery here was beautiful.
The position was high.
However, she did not like that someone was standing higher than her.
The stair step was high. As one took a step, it was like climbing a high ladder.
Qin Weibai took Flaming Fire to climb to the 68th floor.
Compared with the lower floor, the area was smaller but more delicate on the 68th floor, because of the structure.
In the whole space, there was only a crystal tea table, with a carpet around. Besides, there was nothing else.
It was so simple, which showed that the master had a rich inner world and a strong heart.
A man in casual clothes stood with his back towards Qin Weibai. He stood in front of the French windows and intently appreciated the white snow outside.
With calmness, Qin Weibai stared at the figure in front of her.
Flaming Fire, who stood by her, turned around after taking a glance.
She was the Super Master of the Samsara, the top battle strength in the Dark World. Every time when she saw Deity, Flaming Fire was terrified.
It was an instinctive fear.
The other person was so ordinary but truly stood there. He looked unremarkable, but people could spontaneously ignore everything around him.
Real.
Flaming Fire could not say such a temperament clearly.
But now, Deity stood there and looked ordinary. Everything was so real that she subconsciously ignored the two men standing behind him on both sides.
The two men should never be ignored in the East Island.
One was Liusheng Cangquan, the Sect Master of Jifeng Sword-reining School.
The other was Tianhai Wuji, the Master of Wuji Palace.
The two grandmasters of the East Island were romantic, but they were as illusory as two status.
Flaming Fire’s blood froze, and the fear almost involuntarily revealed on the face.
Qin Weibai stepped forward and passed by the carpet beside the tea-table.
Her high-heeled shoes hit the wooden floor, making a crackling sound.
Deity turned around and revealed a little bit ordinary and easy-going smile from his eyes.
The heating on the top floor was running well.
Qin Weibai untied her coat and handed it to Flaming Fire.
Flaming Fire received it and put it on his hand. His mind calmed down.
“Weibai here to greet Your Highness.”
Qin Weibai slightly leaned forward and said in a mild tone.
Qin Weibai wore a dark blue embroidered cheongsam under the coat.
The cheongsam fitted her well, which was against her snow-white calves.
It was elegant, reserved, cool, and graceful.
It was entirely fitting, so it was perfect.
Deity looked at Qin Weibai with undisguised appreciation in his eyes.
He moved about the whole world freely for most of his life and saw many so-called beauties. However, most of them were commonplace women in comparison with Qin Weibai.
She had an extraordinary appearance, jade bones, and ice skin, as well as an unparalleled manner and deportment.
She was a perfect woman whose beauty would overthrow a kingdom.
A vestige of enthusiasm flashed across the Master of Wuji Palace, Tianhai Wuji’s eyes.
A touch of fervency came into the Sword Sage, Liusheng Cangquan’s eyes.
“Retire!”
Deity waved his hand and gave a casual order.
Liusheng Cangquan and Tianhai Wuji paused at the same time. And then, they went downstairs without saying a word.
“Your Highness, you’re really domineering.”
Qin Weibai laughed softly. From the tone, it was hard to tell whether it was sarcasm or admiration.
Deity glance at her with a smile and slowly said, “Since you know the inside information, why did you bother me?”
Qin Weibai smiled and said nothing.
The Dark World calmed down now, but there was the scene of bustle in all countries.
Zhongzhou State was a reform of the Special Warfare System.
However, the East Island was the collision among the rising Purgatory of Heaven Capital, Wuji Palace, as well as Jifeng Sword-reining School.
Now, Deity was the only giant in the Special Warfare System of East Island. All forces admitted his status, but the Jifeng Sword-reining School and the Jifeng Sword-reining School were not willing to let Deity take away too much of their interests. Both were loyal to the Mikado, so as long as they did not violate significant rules, they would agree outwardly but disagree inwardly for the orders issued by Purgatory of Heaven Capital, nine times out of 10. Now, the three experts of the Invincible Realm in the East Island fought openly and secretly.
That Liusheng Cangquan and Tianhai Wuji could retreat without resistance did not mean that they agreed with the Purgatory of Heaven Capital. They just followed the rules on the surface.
“Purgatory of Heaven Capital has developed fast in the East Island and absorbed the ordinary members of the Liuhuo Palace. It can reach this scale in a short time, so Your Highness deserves the congratulation from the Samsara Palace.” Qin Weibai whispered.
“It’s really going well.”
Deity nodded, turned around and reached out his hands. He pointed to the Heaven Capital outside the window, “How about my land?”
Qin Weibai looked at the snow outside the window, paused for a while, and said lightly, “The land is under the snow, which was very pathetic but not so spectacular.”
She paused and smiled, “But it seems that you’re pleased with the status quo.”
“I’m certainly not satisfied.”
Deity calmly turned around, “If I’m satisfied, I won’t let you show up here today.”
“Your Highness, are you still ambitious?” Qin Weibai asked softly.
“Zhongzhou State.”
Deity was silent for a long time and slowly spat out two words. His eyes were a little cold.
He came from Zhongzhou State.
Zhongzhou State abandoned him like a wild dog. What a humiliation it was!
No matter how splendid the Purgatory of Heaven Capital was, if it could not reach Zhongzhou State, he would not be relieved.
“The Wang family of Beihai is strong. So is the Kunlun City.” Qin Weibai said with a smile.
Deity nodded frankly and accepted the fact. He looked at Qin Weibai and said seriously, “So, don’t you think there is a chance?”
“No. But now, it’s not a good chance.” Qin Weibai looked at the whiteness outside the window and said in a calm voice.
The woman, who was less than 25 years old, stood in front of Deity, one of the strongest experts in the Dark World, and took part in, promote, and plan the general trend, without the slightest sense of harmony.
“What was I doing in my mid-20s?”
Deity silently thought that he was trying to break through the Thunder-shocking Realm in his mid-20s.
He shook his head with self-mockery. At the thought of the recent events, he said with a smile, “What do you think of the recent changes in Zhongzhou State?”
Qin Weibai paused for a moment and said, “The problems inside the Wang family of Beihai can’t be suppressed.”
“Are you sure?”
Deity fixed his eyes.
“It’s an inevitable process and law. Just like the Li family at that time, the Wang family of Beihai will come to a time when it has to seek change. If it succeeds, it will be unrestrained and far-ranging. If it fails, it will be beyond redemption. The Wang family of Beihai went through such a period, so it’s another cycle.”
Qin Weibai whispered, “But this time, it’s a little different. When the Wang family of Beihai went through such a period, the Li family won’t keep out wind and rain for them. On the contrary, there’s an extra Kunlun City.”
“They asked for it.”
Deity indifferently said with mockery, “I have the same speculation as you do. Zhang Qi became the first minister of the Southeast Special Warfare Headquarter, so the Kunlun City wouldn’t provide a chance to enter the Decision Making Committee for nothing. Maybe it’s a bait. Is Zhang Qi, Wuyue’s trusted subordinate? He will be a big hot topic for the next election. If everything goes well, it will... after five or six years.”
“Now, it’s the good chance you spoke of?”
Qin Weibai shook her head, “Maybe or may not. Your Highness, don’t underestimate Wang Tianzong. You should know him better than me. He must know Zhang Qi’s promotion, but he let everything go, and maybe he has already made a preparation.”
“No preparation is all-purpose.”
Deity paused for a while and said indifferently, “Was not the Li family well prepared?”
“If the Li family was not well prepared, there won’t be any chance to remain dormant.”
Qin Weibai said flatly, “Your Highness, you want the Purgatory of Heaven Capital to enter the Zhongzhou State so that the Samsara Palace can help you. But now, the Samsara Palace needs your help. It’s a part of our cooperation. At least, if you enter the Zhongzhou State, a great Samsara will be beneficial for you.”
“I think it’s enough now.”
Deity said in a smile, “The Purgatory of Heaven Capital can barely resist the Wang family of Beihai. The Samsara Palace can hold off the Kunlun City. Gu Xingyun is no match for the Palace Master, and the Purgatory of Heaven Capital will keep on developing...”
He stopped talking because Qin Weibai was looking at him.
The eyes were bright like the Milky Way. With a smile, she looked at him quietly. However, Deity felt like an idiot under her gaze.
“First of all, I believe that you can stop Wang Tianzong, but I doubt that the Purgatory of Heaven Capital can resist the Wang family of Beihai. Even if I barely believe, it’s also a joke.”
“Secondly, that Palace Master was able to win Gu Xingyun that day was out of expectation. If they fight again, I don’t know why you have such great confidence in Palace Master.”
“Thirdly...”
She looked at Deity, and finally, she stopped concealing her emotions. She said coldly, “Who told you that Gu Xingyun is the strongest in Kunlun City? Your Highness, do you really treat me as an idiot?”
Deity narrowed his eyes, and his ordinary face suddenly became extremely sullen.
“You really know a lot.”
He looked at Qin Weibai and said meaningfully.
“I know everything.”
With a faraway look in her eyes, Qin Weibai said softly, “Your Highness, cooperation requires sincerity. Your strength is strong, but your ambition may completely ruin you.”
Deity chuckled and said noncommittally, “What does the Samsara Palace want?”
“Foundation.”
Qin Weibai said, “The Samsara Palace’s foundation, like the Purgatory of Heaven Capital in Heaven Capital.”
Deity was not surprised by this answer. He nodded, “Do you have a target? Where?”
“Snow Country.” Qin Weibai said without hesitation. With sharp and swift eyes, she said, “The Polar Ground Alliance.”
