Song of Time - Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 45

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

It seemed that the spire of Holy Tower was always so peaceful and far away from the disturbance of the mortal world.

Just afternoon, the sun was faintly visible in the purple bamboo forest. Gian was sitting on a stone platform used for cultivation, with arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face. He was thinking about the practice of borrowing divine energy that had just been done. After yesterday’s training, he was already familiar with finding those shining stars like divine power points. As long as he closed his eyes, he could quickly enter a state without thinking too much. However, every time he tried to follow his master’s guidance and spin the countless black lights, a boundless tide of evil thoughts would suddenly appear and break his fragile spirit power into pieces, without exception.

His repeated failure made him a little depressed. Just now, the man who didn’t want to tell him his name probably saw his frustration. He lazily mocked, “Don’t show your sad face to me. I’m more annoyed than you…I told you to relax and focus. You’ve done it so many times? I’m so unlucky to meet an idiot like you… “

Gian had already heard his sarcasm many times, and he felt that he was almost immune to it. Fortunately, after all, this gentleman had taught him well. However, he didn’t know much about supernatural power. He just followed the command stiffly and didn’t know the reason. How could this kind of basic practice be so simple…Of course, these words could only be thought in his heart and could not be said.

He sat there quietly for a long time, but there was nothing in his mind. He turned around and stole a glance. Under the thick shadow not far away, Hsuan, dressed in a purple robe with water patterns, was lying on a chair with his eyes closed and enjoying his afternoon tea leisurely. His carefree expression was in sharp contrast to his.

“Sir…”Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Gian hesitated and greeted him. He wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more details about the control method. Suddenly, the priest opened his eyes, held his hand, and slowly stood up. He looked at him and ordered, “Think it over here. Wait for me to come back.” Before he could react, his eyes flashed and immediately turned into a ball of white light. In the blink of an eye, he flew out of the bamboo forest.

“Sir! When will you come back? “Gian ran a few steps towards the direction where he disappeared. It anxiously shouted, but there was no reply. It was unknown if the p

He was the only one left in the bamboo forest, enjoying the cool breeze. The sun was warm, and the grass and trees smelled fragrant. It was a good place to have a rest in the afternoon. But now he was full of doubts and depression, and there was no way to solve them. How could he have such thoughts…He frowned and scratched his head irritably. Then he looked around again. All he saw was the fine bamboos dancing with the wind, and there were no more birds singing. He could only sigh helplessly and lie back on the stage, continuing to close his eyes and meditate.

Hsuan flew out of the bamboo forest, bypassed the tower, and entered the lower room through a thin wall of light. It was a small meeting room with a very long history. The bright wood floor was already dark yellow, and several sets of rosewood chairs were arranged in two rows. Next to it, there was a small table with tea sets. The wall was hung with yellowish paintings and calligraphy, which were of different lengths and short, making it a little messy.

The priest stopped at the door, and the white light dissipated. He looked up and saw a middle-aged monk in a white embroidered golden robe standing beside the seat, bowing slightly to him. The man looked more than 40 years old. He had a gentle face and a smile on his face. It seemed that he was easy to get close to. His eyes were light gray, which was rare. Although his hair was covered by a hood, it was undoubtedly light gray from the two long hairs hanging down to his chest.

“Ning?” When he saw this person, he was a little surprised. He had just sensed that someone was summoning the divine power downstairs at the top of the tower, but he didn’t expect that it would be a disciple he hadn’t seen for many years.

Thirty years ago, the emperor, Xin, ascended the throne. According to the usual practice, he accepted the three most potential warriors of the contemporary royal family, Xin, Ning, and Yu Ling, to learn. In fact, it was just a little explanation and guidance. After all, he had to travel everywhere. He only taught them a few words when he had spare time. He had taught them intermittently for more than two years.

The emperor and Prince Yu were engaged in their daily chores. With their outstanding talent, they didn’t spend much time on cultivation. On the other hand, Ning was quiet and peaceful by nature, and he didn’t like ordinary things, which was quite called his will. Besides, his divine power’s nature was the light branch, so he accepted him as half of his disciple. Occasionally, he would urge his cultivation. In comparison, he was more closely related to himself than the other two people.

However, after the three of them finished their cultivation, the priest rarely returned to the capital city. Even if he came back, he would not see them. He was afraid that he would have more to do with them. The three of them had their own thoughts about the teacher, so they didn’t dare disturb him. Since then, they had met each other many times.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Today, they came across each other by chance. Hsuan was somewhat happy. He waved at him and said, “Sit down.” then he strode to the main seat. He looked at him sitting on the wooden chair with a smile and joked, “I thought you closed your door again, but now you know I’m back…”

The white-robed cultivator nodded but didn’t reply. He looked down at the floor as if he was hesitating. The priest noticed the change of expression on his disciple’s face, so he knew that he must have something else to do here, but he didn’t take it seriously. In his opinion, this disciple seldom went out of the tower and didn’t meddle in other people’s affairs. Maybe he encountered a bottleneck in cultivation and asked him for advice. With a smile on his face, he leaned back on the chair. Casually, he took out a cigarette pipe and knocked on the table. While stuffing the cigarette into it, he asked gently, “What’s wrong with your cultivation? Tell me, I’ll help you think about it. “

“Not really…”Ning shook his head without hesitation. He turned to look at the priest and asked, “Teacher, someone came to tell me that…Eight years ago, there was a huge shady deal at the Apocalypse Ceremony. Some even talked about teacher and said something offensive…Have you heard of it? “

There was a huge shady deal at the Apocalypse Ceremony? What did it mean? When Hsuan was about to light the cigarette, he was stunned. He looked up at him and asked in surprise, “How could someone say something like that? Where did you hear that? “

“I didn’t believe it either, but according to that man, it’s said that the city is everywhere now…It was said that yesterday, the Miss, Misfortune, who had been wanted for eight years but had never been found appeared in the capital city again…She was accompanied by your divine bird, and she saw a lot of people at that time, so these rumors came out… “

How could Miyo be recognized? What the hell did the fat bird do…The priest’s mouth twitched slightly. He held the pipe and cursed in his heart, “I’ve told it not to come to the capital city at will. Now, it’s about to happen!! It had no scruples at all. He was the one to blame for what had happened!”

He was angry, but this matter had something to do with the royal family’s reputation and the Holy Tower, so he couldn’t admit it. Therefore, he didn’t show it on his face. He just widened his eyes and pretended to be surprised. “Is there anything else? Did you see it wrong? Miyo had been missing for eight years. How could she appear in the capital city for no reason? What’s more, my fat bird stays at home all day long. No one has seen it before. How can I be sure that it is it? How could it have anything to do with her? It must be a mistake… “

Although Ning also sniffed at the rumors, there was a witness who showed up. Seeing that the teacher didn’t believe him, he explained, “Sir, It’s said that at that time, Yu Ling was also there and had a dispute with them. I think it’s not wrong… “

Well, it was okay to be seen by others, but it had to let Prince Yu catch him right there…It was this man who had issued the arrest warrant in the past. How could they not make a scene now? Hsuan was so angry that he took a few drags on his pipe and didn’t smoke. When he turned around, he found that he was distracted and forgot to light the cigarette. He took off his cigarette and put it on the table. He coughed slightly and pretended to be surprised. “Is that true? I don’t know…As you know, I’ve been so busy these years that I don’t even have time to go home. How could I know that? To be honest, I almost forget what Miyo look like… “

He spread out his hands innocently towards the Ning, picked up the pipe, and lit it up. He took a deep drag on the cigarette, shook his head with a smile, and sighed, “Besides, you know what kind of temper the fat bird is. I can’t control it…On the other hand, I really don’t know how it could find Miyo. It can be considered its ability… “

Ning had always known that the teacher was preoccupied with something, but he would never speak it out. He did not come to question him but thought it was a matter of great importance, and if he told the teacher as soon as possible, he would be well prepared, so he came to visit in a hurry. What’s more, teachers were always fair and impartial and had no reason to be partial to the world. Although he didn’t know why, he just nodded and said, “What the teacher said makes sense…I knew it was a lie. “

“The Ceremony was decided by the will of the Supreme that descended into the mortal world. How could it be false?” Priest scolded with a serious face.

“Now that you said so, I’m relieved…”The monk was scolded, but instead, he relaxed his eyebrows and showed a smile. He had something on his mind, so he talked to the priest, “How long do you plan to stay in the tower this time?”

“It won’t last long…There are so many troubles to deal with. “

“I heard that the teacher brought a new disciple back? Can I meet him once? “

“He is not a disciple at all. I can confiscate him…I just want to support him because he has the holy mysterious power. I don’t want to cause trouble. “

“I see…I just heard about it and thought you would stay in the capital city for a long time. I was happy. It turned out that I was thinking too much. “He sighed with a smile. Although his mind was empty, it seemed that he was not in a bad mood at all. “I’m afraid the power of the sacred mysterious power is not something that can be controlled in a short time. If the teacher is busy teaching him, I as your student can also do a little. If there is a mission, you can tell me…”

“It’s not easy for you to do that…”Hsuan nodded and didn’t say anything. He just closed his eyes and smoked.

Seeing this, Ning knew that the teacher was a little tired of it, so he didn’t stay any longer. He stood up, bowed again, and walked to the door with a smile. The white light flashed and disappeared outside the light wall.

After he left, Hsuan slightly opened his eyes and frowned. He knocked the pipe on the table to pour out the residue, took back the cloth bag, leaned against the wooden chair, and closed his eyes to calculate. “It’s not a big deal if Miyo is found. There are many ways to explain it. After all, after eight years, the wanted order has been canceled or not, isn’t it the emperor’s order? However, that stupid bird had actually been caught right with her and had even involved himself in the matter of Apocalypse. This disaster had instantly increased by countless times. Now there are so many rumors, and it may be inevitable that someone would make a fuss about it…”

In fact, it was also very simple to solve this matter. As long as they carefully explained what had happened during the opening ceremony and presented evidence, no one would have any objections. However, as the top-secret opportunity for the royal family to inherit the heavenly destiny, how could Apocalypse be exposed to the public?

Well, just let them make trouble…As long as he didn’t say anything, these rumors had no evidence. It was difficult to maintain them for a few more days. If someone wanted to make a scene on purpose, the emperor would deal with it. He doesn’t have to worry about it. Anyway, as long as that stupid bird was by her side, Miyo would definitely be incomparably safe. He would quietly pick her up when the storm was settled…

The priest thought quickly and decided not to get involved in this matter. He stood up, shook his sleeves, and was about to leave. A black-light flashed on the light wall at the door, and then the emperor in a black robe embroidered with gold pattern appeared in the living room.

The emperor still wore an iron mask to cover most of his face, and no expression could be seen on his face. As soon as he stood still, he noticed Hsuan, who was standing in front of him, indifferently and quietly. Startled, he quickly dispersed the mask and bowed, saying, “Your Highness, we haven’t seen each other for many years. You have always been fine.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
