Chapter 1634 - 1616
Chu Ge pushed the door open, it was half ajar, not locked.
He was momentarily stunned, he was the last one to leave and remembered clearly locking the door. Yet now it was unlocked, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance in the air, more pleasant than a few days ago.
Chu Ge glanced at the living room in puzzlement but didn’t see anyone there. Suddenly, there was a thud from upstairs.
He frowned and looked upstairs, then quickly headed up.
The room at the deepest end of the corridor had always been unoccupied. Previously, Chu Ge was curious because some of them were crammed into one room, yet that room was always vacant and without residents.
Curious, Chu Ge walked over. The room door was half open, and a silhouette inside swayed back and forth. A slender waist, flowing long hair, it was a woman.
He went to the doorway and knocked. The person inside stopped what they were doing and turned around. Seeing Chu Ge at the door, she exclaimed joyfully, "Mr. Chu! Today I tried calling your phone but couldn’t reach you."
Feeling awkward, Chu Ge touched his nose and said, "I had some errands, my phone ran out of battery and shut down."
It was none other than Ouyang Die who had returned after spending some time at home, for her course here wasn’t finished yet.
"Mr. Chu, I’ll be troubling you again during this time."
Outside the weather was very cold, but because the villa had heating, Ouyang Die was only wearing a thin garment, her high-raised chest heaving slightly as she breathed.
Her face was adorned with delicate makeup, not a stunning beauty at first glance, yet giving a feeling of being pleasing and enduring to the eye.
From her words, Chu Ge understood. He occasionally heard Lin Dong and the others mention before that a woman had always been living in this villa, and it seemed that woman was Ouyang Die, the one in front of him.
Moreover, from her tone, it seemed like her relationship with Mr. Chu was not shallow.
"No problem, just settle down in here comfortably."
Chu Ge said politely.
Ouyang Die hummed in agreement, thanked him, then remembering something, she hurriedly turned around, walked to a suitcase, opened it. Inside were not clothes but a pile of gifts.
"I heard you all have been quite busy lately, so I didn’t notify you in advance that I was coming. These are the gifts I’ve brought for all of you, it’s perfect that you’re here now, so I’ll give you your share first."
Ouyang Die took out a delicately wrapped box from the suitcase. Smiling, she approached Chu Ge and handed the gift to him, saying, "I’ve spent quite a while picking out this gift, I hope you won’t mind."
Chu Ge was momentarily unsure whether to accept it or not. This gift was meant for Mr. Chu, not for him, but if he didn’t take it now...
He pondered for a moment and eventually took it, "Thank you, it’s very thoughtful of you."
Ouyang Die looked at him with some expectation in her eyes, seemingly waiting for Chu Ge to open the gift himself. But Chu Ge ignored her gaze and merely said, "I came back to fetch something, I have to go out for some errands later, you continue tidying up."
After speaking, Chu Ge turned and went back to his room.
Watching his departing back, a trace of loneliness flickered in Ouyang Die’s eyes; she felt that upon returning this time, Chu Ge seemed much colder toward her.
Chu Ge returned to his room, placed the unopened gift on the table, walked to his desk, found a blank sheet of paper and a pen, and began to draw the patterns he had seen.
After finishing the drawing, an hour had passed. The reason it took so long was that Chu Ge was continuously dissatisfied with his sketching skills, and he had to resort to the method taught by Mu Bingtong, cutting window flowers to first make a model, then tracing the patterns to draw.
When finished, he looked at the imprinted patterns. Though not entirely satisfied, it was a vast improvement, at least recognizable.
He took out his phone and called Jian Chunqiu. At this moment, Jian Chunqiu and Ye Chen were dining in a restaurant.
Jian Chunqiu was slightly surprised upon receiving Chu Ge’s call, "What patterns are you talking about?"
"I’ll bring them over to show you now, where are you?"
Jian Chunqiu reported the address and then hung up.
Ye Chen smiled and looked at him, asking, "Was it Chu Ge?"
Jian Chunqiu nodded, "This Chu Ge and the Chu Ge we know have quite different personalities."
Ye Chen chuckled lightly, raised his eyes to look out of the window, and said faintly, "That’s a personality split off from Chu Ge himself, it’s also a part of Chu Ge, simultaneously the part he’s lacking."
Jian Chunqiu looked at Ye Chen in slight surprise, "Seems like you know quite a lot."
Ye Chen smiled and didn’t continue to respond, instead picking up a glass of wine, sipping lightly before speaking, "Master, what do you plan to do once the chaos in spacetime is settled?"
Jian Chunqiu looked at him in confusion, "Of course, continue to live carefree, what else?"
He listened to Ye Chen speak with implications as if there were hidden meanings, then looked at him puzzled, "Do you have a plan?"
Ye Chen nodded, "I’ve found out that Mystic Sky Tower is about to appear soon."
Jian Chunqiu instinctively frowned upon hearing that, "Mystic Sky Tower?"
"Yes, Mystic Sky Tower, the tower with nine levels. Each level is said to house a Divine Artifact, guarded by a Divine Soul."
Ye Chen said.
Jian Chunqiu was silent for a moment and nodded, "The consequences of someone stealing the Demon Sword from Mystic Sky Tower back then, have you forgotten?"
"Of course, I haven’t forgotten. But I’ve also learned from that incident and realized their method was wrong. To acquire a Divine Artifact seamlessly from Mystic Sky Tower, a sacrifice must be made to blood sacrifice the tower."
Jian Chunqiu frowned, "Blood sacrifice?"
That’s still jesting with human lives, isn’t it?
"Master, after all these years, how has your heart softened more and more? Think about it, the death of one individual is better than sacrificing thousands, isn’t it?"
"You’ve found someone suitable for the blood sacrifice?"
Jian Chunqiu listened to his words, implying there’s a high probability he’s found someone suitable for the blood sacrifice of Mystic Sky Tower.
Ye Chen looked at him with a half-smile, didn’t answer his question but said, "Master, I hope you consider carefully what I’ve said. After dealing with the spacetime chaos, I want you to assist me."
As they conversed, Chu Ge rushed in from outside. Despite his hurried pace, his handsome and charming demeanor was not concealed.
As he walked in, he attracted the attention of many surrounding girls...
