Chapter 541: The Last Journey of the World (10)
In the open space, the bonfire crackled and burned fiercely.
Sun Shangxiang, Huang Zhong, and the mysterious and charming woman were sitting opposite each other in a triangle. At this moment, they were all staring at each other with their own thoughts. Under the reflection of the orange firelight, the atmosphere was indescribably subtle.
"My little beauty, please don't be so hostile to me."
After all, there were two people on the other side, and in the end, the charming woman was the first to speak and break the silence: "From the moment we met, you seemed to be hostile to me. I am really not a bad person."
"I didn't." Sun Shangxiang crossed her arms proudly and turned her head away from her.
"Really?" The woman smiled charmingly, and then asked, "Are you really the lover of the little soldier? It can be seen that the little soldier dotes on you very much. Whatever you say, it's up to you."
The woman was referring to what the eldest lady said just now. Wang Yao really did transfer the task of leading the way according to her wishes.
The innocent young lady smiled sweetly upon hearing this. She naturally felt Wang Yao's meticulous care and attention. However, before she could introduce herself foolishly under the guidance of the young lady, the relatively shrewd and experienced Huang Zhong asked first, "Who are you?"
Sun Shangxiang didn't know how sinister people are, and she was almost tricked into revealing her background information. After all, Wang Yao wasn't around at the moment, so who knew if the other party was really trustworthy?
"Ah? Didn't Brother Xiaobing tell you?" The charming woman said intentionally or unintentionally: "Oh, it seems that Brother Xiaobing is not very confident in you."
It sounds like a mockery that the identity of Sun Shangxiang's "lover" is debatable.
For a moment, the young lady, who was originally in a good mood, fell into a somewhat tangled silence. Huang Zhong spoke up, "Wang Yao has always been very secretive. This does not mean that he does not trust us. I believe he has his own considerations."
The old man was quite alert.
The woman cast a few more glances at the serious Huang Zhong with her seductive eyes and said, "Old man, you don't have to be on guard against us. We have already reached an agreement with the little soldier in private. In a sense, we are all allies now."
Huang Zhong was waiting for this sentence, and immediately asked: "Then tell me first, who are you? Which faction do you belong to? Why did Wang Yao look for you? How did you know each other?"
The series of questions made Sun Shangxiang excited, because this was what she wanted to know.
The woman was not in a hurry to answer, but smiled charmingly and said, "Wouldn't it be a shame for me to answer so many questions at once? To show your sincerity, you should at least tell me your names first, right?"
Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other.
"Soul-burning Heavy Artillery Huang Zhong, from the Three Kingdoms, formerly from the Shu Kingdom."
"Thousand-Gold Heavy Crossbow - Sun Shangxiang."
The two were indeed very curious about this somewhat inexplicable situation, and Wang Yao was rather taciturn, so after weighing the pros and cons, the father and son decided not to resist anymore and chose to introduce themselves.
However, facing the frankness of Sun and Huang, the woman not only did not give a direct answer, but instead said with a teasing smile: "Sure enough, you are from Sanfendi just like Brother Xiaobing. So, do you want to guess my true identity?"
What an indecisive woman.
Both Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang raised their eyebrows in dissatisfaction. Just as Wang Yao had said before, this woman was not only born to be a seductress, but she also particularly liked to make trouble and act mysterious.
Impatient, Sun Shangxiang glanced at her and answered with a serious look on her face, "It's not hard to guess your true identity. You are just a fickle person."
The woman's face froze when she heard that, and then she forced herself to put on a seductive look that was about to fall off and said, "I am not a fickle woman. Like you, I am also a genuine hero created by God!"
She specifically emphasized the word "authentic".
As a result, the eldest lady looked at her again and said, "Then you are a typical fickle woman." Looking at Sun Shangxiang's two consecutive comments, which were a bit serious and a bit sarcastic, even Huang Zhong couldn't help but lose his composure slightly and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
When facing outsiders, Sun Shangxiang's mouth is extremely poisonous.
In order to keep the topic from going off track, he could only interrupt and say, "I advise you not to make our girl angry. She has a bad temper. Of course, so do I, an old man."
Well, it seems that both the old and the young are the type who don't understand romance.
"Boring." The woman sneered, and then consciously turned to the main topic: "I am the Charming Fox Daji, and the one who took the little soldier away is Yang Jian, the source of the root."
As soon as the words fell, Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows: "Why haven't I heard of your names?"
Although Huang Zhong's rank and combat power are not high among the heroes, he is considered a veteran and is very familiar with the current heroes in service.
The charming woman who called herself Daji giggled and said, "Of course you haven't heard of it, because our lineage is not originally from the Jixia Academy. To put it more simply, like Brother Xiaobing, we are all so-called rebels in the eyes of the Jixia Academy!"
"Eh?!" Sun Shangxiang, who had been indifferent to Daji a second ago, suddenly looked at her in disbelief: "How is it possible? Are you saying that none of you are heroes who were promoted in the Jixia Academy?"
In her limited knowledge, it was an inherent concept that all heroes in the world came from the Jixia Academy, and it was obvious that Daji's words had exceeded her scope of cognition.
At this time, the cunning Daji had already roughly figured out the information about Sun Shangxiang and Huang Zhong; Sun Shangxiang was relatively simple, she should be a noble from a wealthy family, a flower that grew up in a greenhouse, while Huang Zhong was an old veteran, but obviously not a top figure, the type who had some seniority but could not access any secrets.
Both of them are the kind of people who, even if they know some secrets, will not have any impact on the situation.
Thinking of this, Daji, who had no more worries, simply laid her cards on the table and said, "It's a long story, but you only need to know that in the ancient times more than 2000 years ago, an unprecedented doomsday battle took place on this continent. That battle almost wiped out an unprecedentedly powerful group of heroes, and even caused a break in history and civilization! And it was in that earth-shaking war that two heroes who were only unknown at the time unexpectedly survived. Later in the long river of history, one of them founded the current Jixia Academy, and the other founded our lineage."
"Wait, are you talking about eternal light?" Sun Shangxiang subconsciously widened her beautiful eyes slightly.
Huang Zhong was even more surprised: "There is actually a person hidden in the world who is as famous as that old villain Wan Gu Chang Ming?!"
"Is this strange?" Daji smiled charmingly, seeming to be very satisfied with their reactions. "But it's also normal. It's normal for you heroes who were born under the brainwashing of Jixia Academy not to know the existence of our lineage. The three old guys from Jixia have been deliberately erasing our existence worldwide."
"Why?" Sun Shangxiang didn't understand.
But it was Huang Zhong who answered: "Because if the news is not blocked, heroes all over the continent will have the right to make their own choices!"
"You guessed it right! Old man, you are not stupid." Daji smiled deeply and said, "That's right. Once other heroes know that there are forces they can rely on to advance, then the Jixia Academy will no longer be the only orthodoxy in the world. Those who regard Jixia as their mortal enemy will abandon it! When that time comes, do you think they can still sit on the Diaoyutai like they have been doing in the past few years?"
Sun Shangxiang thought about it and felt that this was true. In her opinion, if she had known earlier that there was such an existence with a foundation that was strong enough to compete with Jixia, then she really didn't know how many people would be emperors and how many would be kings in the King's Continent.
But she still said, "You are too useless. For so many years, you have been suppressed by those people in Jixia? It's different for A Yao. He relied on his own strength to quickly pacify Sanfendi and even Yunmo in just a few years!"
In the eyes of the eldest lady, Wang Yao has always been a rare hero in the world, and it seems that nothing can defeat him!
But as soon as she finished speaking, Daji stared at Sun Shangxiang meaningfully, and then showed a mature and charming smile: "You can't do this, little beauty. You are really ignorant to say that. On the other hand, it also shows that you don't know your little soldier brother at all, and you don't even know what kind of monsters he has faced in the past few years!"
Even Huang Zhong had to admit that Daji was right about this.
Sun Shangxiang was obviously unconvinced: "Are you saying that my brother is not powerful anymore?"
Daji just shook her head: "No, on the contrary, Xiaobing brother is amazing. It is unprecedented that he has achieved such a terrifying achievement in just a few years! But what I mean is that you look down on the Jixia Academy too much."
After a pause, she continued, "Except for the Peace Watch, the Black and White Chess under the Eternal Light, and the 28 Constellations Second Sons under the Free and Easy Dream, these executioners are not just for show, not to mention the presence of the three giants in person? The Jixia Academy is definitely not a bunch of softies. With more than 2000 years of heritage and a thousand years of planning, do you really think you can easily knock down or compete with such a terrifying behemoth?
It can be said that the reason why Xiao Bing Gege could reach his current position, apart from the right time, right place and right people, was all due to his outstanding wisdom and insight. Because if you really carefully review Xiao Bing Gege's resume, you will find that he has always been walking on a tightrope over the abyss. If he takes a wrong step, he will be doomed! This is the enemy he has been facing, so powerful that there is almost no reason to talk. Otherwise, why do you think our lineage is suppressed so much when facing the Jixia Academy?"
