Gate of Revelation - Chapter 679

GOR Chapter 679 Return

Chen Xiaolian gave a wry smile .

Sister Yun’s words were truly arrogant .

However, she did possess the capital to be arrogant .

Back then, when she was up against Sebast, she had to protect him and Bluesea, leading to the battle getting dragged on for a long time .

Once there was nothing to hold her back, once she got serious, even an [S] class expert like Sebast was left with no power to fight back against her .

Earlier, Chen Xiaolian did not even know what Sister Yun had done . Yet, she had already finished off Lei Hu…

“Maybe… … Bai Qi’s intention, was not to suppress your power . ”

After considering it, Chen Xiaolian said slowly .

“Why do you say that?”

“I do not know . It is just an intuition . ” Chen Xiaolian turned to Sister Yun . “He had already left World’s End . Regardless if he did suppress your power or not, no one in World’s End could stop you . Regardless of what happens within World’s End, it will have nothing more to do with him . If he is really concerned that your existence could affect his plans, he should have killed you before leaving . I think… … he should be able to do that, right?”

“… yes . ” Sister Yun was silent for a moment before nodding her head .

“Thus… … for me, Bai Qi’s actions seems more like… … preserving? Due to certain reasons, he had to place a portion of his power on you . However, not only could you not use the power, it instead suppressed your power . I think that is just a side effect . ”

“That sounds… … reasonable . However, what exactly it was that he wanted to do… I fear I will only be able to ask him after meeting him once more,” said Sister Yun slowly .

“Is that the reason you changed your mind?” Chen Xiaolian looked at her .

“If Bluesea had not died, I would not have bothered . Originally, I felt that, it doesn’t matter even if World’s End is to be utterly cleared . ” Sister Yun revealed an indifferent smile . “However, since I had re-encountered Bai Qi, I think… … I might as well go back to that world . ”

…

“Eh… … Sister Yun…”

Chen Xiaolian held Qiao Qiao with his left hand and looked on awkwardly at Sister Yun, who stood before him .

Although all three knew that it was merely to leave together, holding hands with Sister Yun gave Chen Xiaolian an awkward feeling .

Especially since… … since girlfriend was right beside him .

However, there was no awkwardness on Sister Yun’s face . She frankly extended her hand to grab Chen Xiaolian’s right hand .

Chen Xiaolian gave Qiao Qiao a guilty glance and saw Qiao Qiao sending a brief glare at him . Then, she pursed her lips and lowered her head before breaking into a smile .

Five more minutes until they returned .

“Wait!”

Chen Xiaolian suddenly raised his head and said, “I… … forgot about something!”

He quickly looked down at the Sword in the Stone hanging on his waist . “Inside the sword… … there might be someone inside it!”

“Someone inside?” Sister Yun frowned . “What do you mean?”

“As my War Soul, Bai Qi had once gone berserk and killed a woman . Her body is the Exclusive Account of a high-ranking Player . However, back then, we were within an instance dungeon . Thus, after the instance dungeon ended, everything was refreshed . However, her soul was attached into this sword by Mr San . ” Chen Xiaolian quickly explained .

Matters had been popping up one after another, bogging him down so badly that he had forgotten that the sword contained Xian Yin’s soul [1] .

Back in Zero City, Shen had destroyed the Sword in the Stone, utterly destroying it . Thus, it had appeared intact within World’s End . Coincidentally, Sebast had obtained it .

However, Chen Xiaolian was uncertain if Xian Yin’s soul was still within the Sword in the Stone .

At that moment, his hands were holding Qiao Qiao and Sister Yun respectively . He dared not let go to grab the sword . He feared that his calculation of the timing was wrong and the time to be sent out from World’s End might arrive at any moment .

Sister Yun swept a gaze across Chen Xiaolian’s face briefly . Then, stretching out her other hand, she grabbed the Sword in the Stone over . Shutting her eyes momentarily, she shook her head . “If you are talking about Xian Yin, she is no longer in here . ”

“You… … how did you know her name?” Chen Xiaolian was surprised .

“Umbrella’s words may have been left for you . However, did you think I will not be able to access them?” Sister Yun gave Chen Xiaolian a glance and said, “The woman called Xian Yin, is she very beautiful?”

Chen Xiaolian turned awkwardly at Qiao Qiao . Then, gritting his teeth, he said, “Something… … something like that . ”

“Hmm . ” Sister Yun did not question him further and simply let Chen Xiaolian continue on with his awkward state . Qiao Qiao, on the other hand, looked at Chen Xiaolian with an expression that appeared to be a smile and yet not . She also did not open her mouth to say anything .

“So, is she still inside World’s End?” asked Chen Xiaolian with a sigh .

“She is just an ordinary human . Although her body is the Exclusive Account of a high-ranking Player, she will not enter World’s End . ” Sister Yun shook her head . “As this sword is now in your hand, it means that the moment it was destroyed in the outside world, the soul placed inside it had left it . ”

“Left?” Chen Xiaolian hesitated for a moment . “You mean, disappear?”

“That should be the case . ” Sister Yun nodded . “Unless…”

“Unless what?” Chen Xiaolian quickly asked .

“Unless there was a suitable container nearby the moment the Sword in the Stone was destroyed, one that would allow her to shift her place of attachment . ”

“A suitable container? For example?”

“For example, another Sword in the Stone,” said Sister Yun calmly .

“… … don’t joke around . ” Chen Xiaolian gave Sister Yun a glare .

“The world is a big place, after all . There are many strange and miraculous equipment . How am I to list them all for you? However, I will say that the chances of that happening is too small . It would be best for you to not hope for it . ” Sister Yun turned to look at Qiao Qiao . “Besides, isn’t your girlfriend quite beautiful as well?”

“I am not doing it for…”

“Enough, no need to explain . This sword, do you still want it?” Sister Yun waved the sword .

“You mean…” Chen Xiaolian looked uncertainly at Sister Yun .

“It is just a sword . It will not be difficult for me to bring it with me . If you want it, come find me . ”

The moment Sister Yun finished speaking, Chen Xiaoian’s vision abruptly flashed .

His hands, which were originally holding onto them, gripped onto thin air .

…

Inside one of the suite rooms of the resort, everyone within Meteor Rock Guild were standing side by side . Their hearts were beating uncontrollably .

Soo Soo was the only exception . Alone, she curled herself up on a sofa, headphones on her head and a mobile phone in her hand . She was focused on playing a game on the phone . Occasionally, her eyes would quickly glance forward .

“Is it time yet?” Lun Tai turned to look at Roddy .

Roddy, who was holding the Lifehymn Music Score, looked at the countdown displayed in his personal system .

Time remaining: 00:00:10…

Time remaining: 00:00:09…

“It’s coming . Hopefully… … Xiaolian has already found Qiao Qiao!”

Roddy took a deep breath . When there were only two seconds left on the countdown, an options tab appeared in his personal system . He chose [YES] .

“Initiate now!”

With a flash of light, Chen Xiaolian appeared before them all .

“Xiao… … Xiaolian! You have actually returned!”

Chen Xiaolian was abruptly greeted with a shout of extreme shock . Then, he saw an overjoyed Roddy rushing forward to hug him before shaking him violently a few times . “Son of a bitch! I was worried that you would die in there!”

Chen Xiaolian gave Roddy a gentle pat on his shoulder and turned his gaze to the area behind Roddy .

Lun Tai, Bei Tai, Xia Xiaolei, Qimu Xi, all of them stood side by side behind Roddy . Their faces were all filled with excitement .

Soo Soo did not stand up . However, she quickly raised her head to look at Chen Xiaolian . Seeing no one beside him, her taut little figure grew slack . However, there was a slightly lost look on her face .

Qiao Qiao unnie… … in the end, she did not come back?

“Xiaolian…” After the joy of seeing Chen Xiaolian faded, the others noticed as well that Chen Xiaolian was alone .

Roddy hesitated for a moment and tugged Chen Xiaolian’s hand . “Not bringing Qiao Qiao back… … its ok . It is good enough that you could return…”

The others had fallen into a state of silence as well .

However, after saying that, Roddy saw that there was neither dejection nor sadness on Chen Xiaolian’s face . Instead, he patted Roddy’s shoulder . With a smile, he said, “Hand me the Lifehymn Music Score . ”

Roddy quickly handed over the Lifehymn Music Score . After accepting it, Chen Xiaolian quickly opened it up .

Earlier, Roddy had been too occupied with the countdown timer in his personal system and had not been looking at the Lifehymn Music Score . Only then did he realize that, at the bottom area of the music score, Chen Xiaolian’s name had disappeared, only to be replaced with a few lines of words .

Roddy watched as Chen Xiaolian raised his head back up . He smiled at Roddy and said, “Come, let’s go find Qiao Qiao!”
