Chapter 2806
“Really?” The frightened girl murmured in a daze .
“I’m not a quack fortune-teller . Plus, Jade-zenith left this message for a reason . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
The girl was shaken . Yes, Li Qiye had no reason to trick her . Plus, her progenitor was the one who left the cryptic and ominous message . This has to be the truth .
She took a deep breath, thinking about the destruction required to turn Three Immortals to ashes .
In the past, everyone would think that this was impossible, just groundless fears .
After all, Three Immortals have existed for who knows how long? One era came after another regardless of the ruling sects . Disasters struck before, albeit only on a small scale . Three Immortals remained the same; the only things that changed were its inhabitants .
Worst of all, this might actually happen during her generation? She was also powerless to stop it like the rest .
She recalled the sudden darkness several years ago during the divination attempt . That scared the hell out of people and it remained a mystery even today .
This dream-like sequence made the progenitors around become cautious . It was also the reason why she entered the world .
“The progenitor only left this prophecy for us . We have yet to meet . ” She shuddered after thinking it through and bowed deeply towards Li Qiye .
“Prying into the machination of the heaven and the momentum of the earth isn’t a good thing . Failure would result in death . ” Li Qiye stated .
The girl didn’t dare to respond .
“Take off your veil . ” He ordered while glancing at her .
Her origin was extraordinary, the same for her cultivation . Her status alone warranted love and respect . So many systems would treat her like an esteemed guest .
Alas, she didn’t dare to refuse and slowly took off her veil, revealing her appearance .
Pretty she was with starry eyes capable of illuminating the night sky and leading the way for lost travelers . The purse of her lips gave a mature look and a special temperament . Spectators couldn’t help themselves from being in awe as if she was a pure lotus deep in the valley .
“Disciple of Heaven Calculating Pavilion, Xu Xiaojin, respectfully greets you, Senior . ” She bowed her head again .
Most people would be shocked to hear the name of this sect but not Li Qiye . This was within his expectations .
“I’m eighteen so stop making me look old with that address . ” He said .
“I understand . ” She refrained from laughter and maintained a serious expression .
“Forget it, don’t be so serious either . ” Li Qiye waved his sleeve .
“I’ll be sure to remember, Young Noble . ” She was smart and flexible .
As she was about to leave, Li Qiye told her: “If you meet that monk, warn him about his silly thoughts or I’ll twist his head off . ”
“I will let Senior Brother Dajue know . ” She knew that Li Qiye wasn’t joking and left .
Li Qiye closed his eyes to meditate once more .
***
His time at Repentance Institution was peaceful because everyone else was busy with their own matters . No one came to bother him, giving him time to fully focus on refining the terrible existence .
Alas, on the second day, the dean of Repentance, Du Wenrui came to see him .
The dean took out a folded document and smiled: “Young fella, are you used to living here? What do you think about the institution?”
“Dean, if you have to fart, just do it, don’t beat around the bush . Speak . ” Li Qiye opened his eyes .
The man turned red for a second before putting on a dignified look again . He held the document in front of Li Qiye and said: “You have agreed to join our institution so you’re a student now but we’re still not done with the paperwork . Write down your name and put your fingerprint right there and we’ll be done . ”
“How rare, for a dean to personally recruit a student . ” Li Qiye smiled .
Du Wenrui coughed before arching his chest to speak with sincerity: “The truth is that our institution loves talents on top of treating everyone equally…”
“Dean, you’re a good liar, spewing bullshit so naturally . Maintaining this facade is probably your best ability . ” Li Qiye leisurely said .
“Hahaha, of course not, you’re quite funny . ” Wenrui smiled wryly .
Li Qiye accepted the scroll and added his fingerprint without checking the content .
“You don’t want to read it over?” The dean was a little nervous .
“As if you can do anything if I were to change my mind . Not even you suddenly become a hundred times more courageous . Am I right?”
“Of course . ” Wenrui rubbed his palms together in an excited manner . He then carefully put the document away and said: “From now on, you are a student of Repentance . ”
“You said that your institution loves talents, how come I haven’t seen you recruiting anyone capable yet?” Li Qiye asked .
“I got one now, right?” Wenrui was quite pleased with himself: “It’s one thing if I don’t roar, but when I do, it will echo across the world . I’ve just recruited the most peerless student in history, even more incredible than the progenitors . ”
“Well, I do enjoy this flattery . ” Li Qiye nodded: “People say that those with a high forehead, thick brows, and big eyes are all good men . Unfortunately, you’re more of a sly fox . ”
“Thank you for your praise . ” Wenrui smiled back .
“When did you realize it?” Li Qiye sat there casually .
However, Wenrui didn’t dare to act in the same manner . He solemnly said: “I found it strange right when Holyfrost True Emperor took action . Her light isn’t the strongest in our system but it is still among the top three, maybe top two . However, that power of hers got crushed right away . This required a monstrous level of darkness . ”
He then stared at the mark on Li Qiye’s forehead with apprehension .
“Who do you say is the number one then?” Li Qiye asked .
“Well… I don’t know…” Wenrui shook his head in response .
Li Qiye stopped prying and gazed towards the horizon: “You’re the dean of Repentance Institution . What is your view of this city?”
“How can regular people like me understand the intent of the progenitor?” Wenrui replied: “I only know that the world is wrong about Repentance . It is not a prison . The omission of light is on purpose . ”
“That’s why you ignore it too . ” Li Qiye said .
“All things exist for a reason . ” Wenrui said seriously: “So many living beings struggle to survive . The light, darkness, various heavenly laws, chaos… They have their own orders . Living beings also have the right to pick whether they want to be with the darkness or worship the light . ”
“Thus, peace will be around as long as powerful beings refrained from evil deeds . The world exists for living beings to try and survive in an ephemeral yet beautiful manner . The root of evil is cultivation and searching for immortality . ” “Li Qiye added . ”
“My dao is inadequate so I do not dare to comment . ” Wenrui pondered before answering .
“What is your opinion on your progenitor, Desolate Saint?” Li Qiye chuckled and asked another question .
“It’s fine that the world remembers the light of the progenitor, that’s enough . No one is perfect, so how many can actually become a saint?” The answer came after a brief moment of hesitation .
“There are saints, albeit not that many in the long course of history . Unfortunately, this dao dooms one to solitude . ”
“His light still illuminates everything . ” Wenrui ended with this .
“Clever, avoiding the important and dwell on the trivial . No wonder why you are staying in a place like this . ” Li Qiye praised .
Wenrui chuckled without responding .
