Chapter 520: [Doomsday Chronicles]
The little girl stood in front of Gu Qing Shan, a bit nervous and shy at the same time.
Seeing her like that, Gu Qing Shan asked directly.
“If you already hid yourself from everyone, why did you only appear in front of me?”
Hearing him ask that, the little girl showed him a newspaper.
The headline of the newspaper was accompanied with a large picture.
An old man was hugging Barry’s leg while Gu Qing Shan stood on one side, blankly staring at him.
This was the same newspaper that Su Xue Er saw.
It was thanks to this that Su Xue Er waited for him in Aboul.
The little girl raised the newspaper, looking at Gu Qing Shan: “No matter what, a person Iron Fist Barry recognizes must be a one with respectable character”
She thought for a bit and added: “Although he was crippled for so long, and he owes a lot of money, at the very least, for the last 1000 years, he had never changed his standards and beliefs”
“So you trust him?
“Mother once said, if someone has enjoyed the very best and can endure the very worst without changing their beliefs and behaviors, then that person must be a true hero”
“You have a very brilliant mother”
Hearing that, the little girl appeared a bit sorrowful.
However, she quickly hid her emotions from her face and spoke: “The Iron Fist Club had not taken in a new member for over 1000 years, but you were recognized by both Barry and Kitty, so I believe you would not do that despicable act”
“Despicable act? What do you mean?”
“Exposing a poor little maid, forcing her down a road of certain death”
“Thank you for your trust. And I in fact do not intend to meddle”
Gu Qing Shan calmed down.
He was probing this little girl without showing it.
Her appearance was quite normal, her little hands were full of blisters and her expression full of fatigue, even her maid uniform was already a bit dirty.
But from what he saw, she couldn’t be too much older than 10 years old.
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes a bit, taking a closer look at her.
Although the little girl’s hands were full of blisters, her skin was a bit blackened and even had a few nasty scars…
—— occasionally flashing deep under her sleeves was pure white skin, akin to that of fresh milk.
Gu Qing Shan instantly understood.
So this little girl even knows how to disguise her appearance to hide her true identity.
“Why is such a young girl like yourself a maid?”
Gu Qing Shan solemnly asked.
“Her Highness the princess needed playmates around her age, as well as someone to constantly be by her side and ready to take her orders, that is why I was chosen to be her maid” the little maid pitifully told him.
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.
This excuse seemed quite reasonable as well.
The Bramble Bird princess was only 12, so she really did need a few people of the same age by her side.
Maids of this age can both act as her playmates and her servant, so it was very appropriate.
It seems she was quite a brilliant girl, unfortunately, she didn’t have that much experience handling social situations.
The little girl looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke in a high-and-mighty tone: “Since you did not expose me being here, I will graciously forgive your disrespectful manners earlier”
Gu Qing Shan stayed silent.
He wasn’t going to argue over minor details with a little girl who ran away.
He already had a few guesses as to what must have happened.
As long as these guesses were confirmed, he would easily arrive at a conclusion.
But Gu Qing Shan really didn’t want to poke his nose into another’s business.
Even without confirming them, he can guess the level of danger and severity of this situation.
The only thing he wanted was to meet up with Su Xue Er.
——-as soon as Su Xue Er returns, I will take her and leave right away.
Although the Justice Iron Fist Club wasn’t that big, both Barry and Kitty are good people, so they should get along with Su Xue Er fine.
The Justice Iron Fist Club itself was also a Super Dimensional world so it was completely safe.
Kitty’s spatial powers were also quite impressive.
And since Barry’s leg was quickly recovering, Iron Fist Barry will soon enter the ranks of top-level Combatants again.
Triste also gave a big enough prize to maybe pay back the Club’s debt.
Which means he’ll be able to live a relaxed life.
He’ll have a lot of time to be with Su Xue Er.
While living in the Iron Fist Club, he can also ask Barry about matters regarding cultivation——- and occasionally treat Barry to some good meals.
Kitty also said that there was a stream behind the Club where they can go fishing if the weather is good.
The only thing is that those fishes are all very sly, warping away to other worlds as soon as they notice someone getting close.
Barry didn’t like catching them because it was hard, and Kitty didn’t really know how to cook them, so they rarely caught those fishes.
However, it’s known that the fishes are high-quality, as there were a lot of Interstellar-grade restaurants frequently expressing their desires to buy them.
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly, calming his eyes down as well.
That’s right, why would I get involved in somebody else’s business for no reasons?
The only thing to do now is to wait for Su Xue Er to return.
Since Gu Qing Shan had decided, he looked at the little girl and spoke: “From now on, I will act like I haven’t seen you, and I won’t tell anyone about you either, please go ahead and do as you like”
The little girl smiled of relief and curtsied to him: “Even though you are a rude man, you are not a bad man”
The little girl observed Gu Qing Shan a bit more, confirming that he really didn’t care before relaxing herself.
It was now that she discovered that her stomach was growling, so she gracefully got herself another piece of cake and began to eat again.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay anymore attention to the little girl.
Because the silver medal in his hand was already heating up a bit together with a change on the War God UI.
Gu Qing Shan focused his attention on the War God UI.
Below the UI, in the same row as [War God Skills], [War God Thaumaturgy], [War God Title], a new icon was now lit up.
This icon was quite simple, it looked like a thick book.
[Temporal node set]
[Relevant key has been obtained]
[The new System function has been activated]
[You obtained a new function: Doomsday Chronicles]
[Doomsday Chronicles: Using special items you hold, you may query famous historical events related to them]
[Because you only survived for 10 years in the previous life, you may only query events from any moment of the past up to 10 years in the future]
[Special note: The System only records the famous historical events themselves. The System doesn’t know the entire truth behind the events or their corresponding hidden details]
Gu Qing Shan seriously looked through it and smiled, not expecting that.
What an interesting function.
Right now, he was holding Triste’s medal in his hand, so a few lines of text were showing on the War God UI.
[Triste’s medal]
[War God Skills: This item doesn’t contain any skills, unable to learn or comprehend]
[Doomsday Chronicles: This is proof that you’ve participated in this call of the Bramble Birds]
[To see the corresponding historical event related to Triste’s medal, please consume 100,000 Soul Points]
—–that much Soul Points?
Gu Qing Shan was a bit shocked as he looked at the medal.
Exactly what kind of secret was hidden in this medal?
Gu Qing Shan thought briefly before waving his hand to take the Chao Yin sword from the void of space.
He wanted to test out a few more things about the new function.
More lines of text showed up on the War God UI.
[Ancient sword, named Chao Yin]
[In the Age of Old, the Shen Wu world was a world of endless oceans, as Divinities left, they forged this sword to act as a pillar of the seas]
[He who holds this sword is the King of all seas]
[Spirit Thaumaturgy: Even a sea of suffering shall pass]
[War God Skills: This sword does not have any skills, unable to learn or comprehend]
[Doomsday Chronicles: the System did not find any famous historical events related to this sword]
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.
True enough, if I didn’t go to Shen Wu world during this life, this sword wouldn’t have showed itself to the world at all.
What an interesting new function indeed.
This function will allow me to open my eyes and know about more secrets.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shann tapped his Inventory Bag, wanting to take out a few other things out to test the War God UI’s new function.
But as soon as it was opened, a letter flapped its wing and flew out, circling around him nonstop.
Gu Qing Shan was surprised, but quickly caught it.
This letter had already showed up once when he was asking for the wooden lady’s help, so he didn’t have time to look at it yet.
Now was actually a good time to check what this was.
Gu Qing Shan opened the letter.
A blank sheet of paper.
There was nothing written here.
But soon after, a hurried female voice came from the blank paper.
[Gu Qing Shan, it’s Kitty]
[There is a horrifying matter that I must tell you about right away]
