Chapter 203 A Date?

Jue retracted her gaze and saw Zhang Hao and the old Daoist priest standing stiffly outside. She said,

"It seems you have guests. You should talk to them first."

"Oh right, Yuan, you can travel to and from the Land of Mountains and Seas, right?"

She changed back to her original form of address.

Wei Yuan nodded.

Jue's eyes brightened slightly. She hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth to say, "Then, Wei Yuan, next time you go back to the Land of Mountains and Seas, could you take me with you? I also have some things I want to go to Yushan for, to take a look at the Kunlun Ruins, to see those places I visited back then, like the Xuanyuan Ruins, like the original Tushan tribe."

Going to the Land of Mountains and Seas with Jue…

A date?

Wei Yuan controlled his consciousness, preventing it from drifting in that direction. His expression remained normal as he nodded and said,

"In that case, of course there's no problem."

"I will find a way."

Jue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in thanks. She retracted her palm, and Wei Yuan's hair brushed against the girl's palm. When Jue's fingers retracted, they unintentionally brushed against Wei Yuan's cheek. The touch of her fingers was as warm and smooth as jade, and soft. Wei Yuan's heart, which had originally calmed down, faintly began to beat faster.

Wei Yuan pressed his palm heavily against his chest.

He lightly bit the flesh inside his mouth, feeling the pain.

His expression was calm.

Calm down, my heart!

I am a halberd-wielding guard of the Great Qin, a disciple of the Taiping Dao, and I have traveled all over the Land of Mountains and Seas.

What haven't I seen?

Back then, I even carried that woman from the Daughter Kingdom for several days.

It's not like I haven't had contact with Jue before.

I lived through the Three Kingdoms period for decades.

Because when the girl had just pressed on Wei Yuan's hair, she had also tilted forward almost imperceptibly. A strand of long hair was slightly out of place. Almost instinctively, he raised his hand to smooth that strand of hair behind her ear, his fingers touching his own cheek and hair, his expression gentle and serene, classically elegant.

Wei Yuan's heart accelerated again, super fast.

With a little force.

He directly bit his lip open.

………………

Jue bid farewell and left the Zhenyao Museum.

Seeing the girl come out.

Zhang Hao and the old Daoist priest abruptly took a big step back, clearing the way for her.

Zhang Hao raised his eyes slightly and saw that the girl's face was cold and her eyebrows were slightly lowered, like a cool and pure breeze from the heavens, causing people to feel a sense of retreat in their hearts. She possessed divinity, only to be admired from afar. Although she was only wearing ordinary clothes, it unconsciously made people recall the feather robes of a celestial being, aloof and independent from the world.

It was as if a Dunhuang apsara had really appeared before their eyes.

The divinity was already sufficient.

Moreover, she possessed three parts more coldness and one part more detachment than the apsaras in the murals.

Zhang Hao subconsciously lowered his eyes again, not daring to look anymore.

After a long time, the old and young men raised their heads, each breathing a sigh of relief.

What a strong sense of oppression.

As expected of the Kunlun Heavenly Maiden.

The water ghost rushed directly out of the studio, glaring at the two Daoists, feeling annoyed.

"It's all your fault, you ruined things again!"

"I even prepared happy water and potato chips."

"I was just waiting to watch the show..."

"Sigh!"

With a heavy sigh, he no longer concealed himself at all. In broad daylight, a ghost directly darted from one side to the other right under the noses of the two Daoists, pushed open the door, and saw the museum director Wei calmly sitting at the table.

The water ghost coughed and leaned over, saying, "Boss, are you okay?"

He noticed a trace of blood at the corner of Wei Yuan's mouth and was shocked. "Boss, why did you even cough up blood?"

He reached out and touched Wei Yuan. Through the flow of blood, he instantly sensed the heavy, accelerating heartbeat. He looked at Wei Yuan, who didn't change his expression, sensed the frequency of the heartbeat, and recalled the scene just now.

A realization dawned on the water ghost's face.

Then he noticed Wei Yuan's gaze.

The water ghost's expression remained unchanged. He retracted his palm and nodded.

"I understand."

He reached out and snapped his fingers.

The water flowed and transformed into two blurry human figures.

The water ghost pointed his finger out the door.

"Throw them out!"

So the water ghost threw himself out.

……………………

Zhang Hao and the old Daoist priest who presided over the situation in Quanshi hesitantly entered the door.

Zhang Hao was still a little embarrassed.

However, although the old Daoist priest was not as good as Zhang Ruosu, he also had over ninety years of cultivation and a thick enough face. He had already stabilized his mind and completely acted as if what had just happened didn't exist. He swept his horsetail whisk and exchanged pleasantries with Wei Yuan with a smile, and Wei Yuan also restrained his emotions.

He regained his original state of mind.

After the greetings, Wei Yuan asked the reason for their sudden visit.

The old Daoist priest said helplessly, "It's a message from Junior Uncle A Xuan."

"He said that the messages he sent to Museum Director Wei were always unread, so he hoped we could come to the museum. The general matter is that Lord Guan Yunchang, the Saintly Emperor Guan, and Zhao Xuantan, the Black Tiger Marshal of Zhengyi, are now staying at the Tianshi Mansion, and Celestial Master Uncle is personally hosting the two of them."

Wei Yuan nodded, understanding the reason for their arrival, and then asked in confusion,

"This is normal, isn't it?"

"Daoist Zhang has also told me about this."

The old Daoist priest was even more helpless and said, "The point isn't that they went."

"But what they're doing now."

He said, "According to the information I know, they're not using magic power, they're just having a drinking contest in the back mountain."

The old man finally managed to spit out the last two words.

Drinking contest?

Wei Yuan took out his phone in confusion. It was true that Little A Xuan had sent many messages. After opening them, there was a newly sent video. After clicking it open, the screen showed a table, and Zhao Xuantan, wearing military uniform and with a fierce beard, was lying on the table, hugging a wine jar, snoring loudly.

Guan Yunchang and Zhang Ruosu were laughing and drinking.

"Back then, Guan looked down on the world, all were but straw men..."

"Coincidentally, back then, this old Daoist only needed one or two sword strikes to deal with those grandsons..."

The overall picture, translated bluntly.

Was probably that, under the onslaught of modern high-proof liquor.

Marshal Zhao had already given up.

Lord Guan and Celestial Master Zhang, who rarely had the chance to drink openly, were having a drinking contest.

The old man beside Wei Yuan said helplessly, "So, Junior Uncle A Xuan said that he hoped Museum Director Wei would go early tomorrow morning and take care of the matters that need to be discussed with Saintly Emperor Guan and Marshal Xuantan. It's too late today, so let it be. Alas, Celestial Master Uncle is already so old, he should be more mindful."

"The doctor told him long ago, don't drink, don't drink, but he just won't listen."

"Don't drink?"

"Yes, Celestial Master Uncle has already exceeded the theoretical limit of human lifespan. No matter how high his cultivation is, his body must be weaker than when he was young. He needs to be restrained at this time."

Wei Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "This, is this what the doctor said?"

"Yes."

"Then where is this doctor now?"

The old Daoist priest opened his mouth and fell silent.

After a long while, he said hesitantly,

"...Probably, in which cemetery is he?"

On this topic, the two suddenly felt that they couldn't continue. After the old man and Zhang Hao sat for a while, they got up to say goodbye. Zhang Hao also said that the Special Operations Team had caught a big fish and were still busy. After the matter was resolved, he would send the news to him.

After the two left.

Wei Yuan sat on the sofa, his fingers gently pressing against his eyebrows.

Jue hopes to go to the Land of Mountains and Seas to search for Kunlun.

Indeed, according to Zhulong, Kunlun, as a divine spectacle that simultaneously exists in the various realms of Mountains and Seas, and as Jue who was born in Kunlun, is more able to detect some unusual places and figure out the mystery of Kunlun's disappearance. Of course, now that she's being targeted by Qiongqi, she can't go there for the time being. She has to find a way to avoid Qiongqi's gaze before she can continue to the next step.

In addition, the witch Nujiao allowed the three girls of Su Yu'er to leave Qingqiu and live next to him.

And the opportunity to enter the Land of Mountains and Seas is on Su Yu'er.

As for how to allow Jue to enter the Land of Mountains and Seas as well, the witch Nujiao might have some information.

Well, I'll go to Qingqiu Country recently.

Yuanjue is also going to discuss the Dharma, should I find a reason to go and see...

One by one, thoughts rose and churned in his mind. Wei Yuan's phone suddenly vibrated on the table. In the buzzing sound, the locked screen lit up. Someone sent a message in a long-silent group chat. Wei Yuan raised his head slightly, his expression turning sharp for a moment, and then calming down.

This group is a historical exchange group.

Of course, the real name should be—

'Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum Development Team Group'
