Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

Huang Quan stood up and said, "Continuing to say goodbye will only make the atmosphere more depressing."

"But no matter what, I should say thank you."

"Thank you for leaving a touch of color in my black and white world."

"My pleasure."

Zhu Qing also stood up. "As a thank you, could you please satisfy my curiosity one last time?"

"Ok?"

She looked a little confused.

"Tell me your name. No matter what, I don't want my friend to be remembered as just a man watching over nothingness."

Huang Quan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "You Rangers seem to like asking other people's names, but... this is not something that is difficult to talk about."

"Or rather, I should thank you for being willing to remember the name of someone like me who has already walked into nothingness."

Most people in the world stay away from those who commit suicide, and some are even hostile.

Being able to make friends like this is not an uncommon thing for Huang Quan.

"Thunder, Forgotten River Guard, Mei."

Huang Quan spread out one hand, "This is my name. If you don't mind, just call me Mei."

Since they had been working together for so long, Zhu Qing had already become her friend, and even this friend could be considered hard-earned.

"It's a very nice name, and it suits you very well."

"Thank you, I think so too."

Huang Quan smiled again.

"In that case, I will leave first."

Zhu Qing nodded.

"Then I won't say anything goodbye. It would be awkward if we meet again in the future."

Huang Quan chuckled, that made sense.

Huang Quan walked forward and waved to Zhu Qing with her back to him.

"Mei."

Hearing his own name, Huang Quan paused, and the voice behind him continued to come.

“May you find your original self at the end of nothingness.”

"Ah."

She hopes so too.

......

Twenty-four system hours later.

Reality, Daydream Hotel.

In a restaurant.

"Things have finally come to an end."

Topa couldn't help but stretch, and she looked at Shajin and Zhuqing.

"Thank you both for your hard work. I was able to get such a great credit for nothing."

"The stakes you're betting on are not small at all."

“There is no investment without risk.”

Topa didn't care, "It's just a pity. Lady Emerald heard that the three of us were getting together, so she paid for our meal."

Originally, Topa was planning to pay for it herself, but since Ms. Jade had said so, she couldn't disobey.

"That's fine too. Since Ms. Jade is treating us, we can be a little more unrestrained when ordering dishes."

Zhu Qing smiled.

"My friend, you don't act recklessly. Look at this...oak cake roll you're eating? When did you learn to cherish the sweetness of life?"

Sha Jin looked at Zhu Qing strangely.

Hearing this, Zhu Qing shrugged and said, "I just saw a friend eating it and it was delicious, so I wanted to try it."

"what about the taste?"

"Tear off one of the chair legs you're sitting on. They'll taste about the same, but the chair legs might be a little more durable."

Zhu Qing pushed the cake roll he had taken three bites of aside. He should have known that this little firefly had a special sense of taste.

"Okay, then I won't try."

Sha Jin originally wanted to give it a try, but after hearing what Zhu Qing said, he gave up the idea.

"Where are you going next? How about coming to my place?"

"Maybe I don't have much time. Luofu sent me an invitation to watch their martial arts ceremony later."

"This is a big day, but why didn't the company receive any notification?"

"It will probably take some time for the invitation letter from General Luofu to be made public."

"..."

"..."

Seeing the two of them silent, Zhu Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"No kidding, maybe we'll see each other again during the martial arts ceremony. Let's get together then."

This martial arts ceremony was not a good thing, but there was no need to tell them about it.

Sha Jin glanced at the time.

"It's getting late. I should check out. I still have a few orders to take care of when I get back."

"IM about the same."

Topa stood up immediately and said, "Remember to keep in touch, Zhuqing."

"Well, I agree with what this guy said. Let's chat for a while. Who knows, maybe there's something I can help with?"

"must."

Zhu Qing smiled and waved his hand. After watching the two of them leave, he stretched.

Sometimes it is a hassle to get together with too many friends.

It was okay when they met, since they didn't come at the same time, so they just met twice more.

Now that the matter is over, people are leaving one after another.

He stood up and walked towards the door.

Fortunately, the rest of the people were not in a hurry to leave. Just as they reached the door, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

Seeing this, Zhu Qing revealed a gentle smile.

"Have a rest?"

......

Chapter 149: Promise

The bird had its hands behind its back, and there was a smile in its eyes.

She looked much more relaxed than she had a while ago.

"I haven't slept this long in a long time when I slept with more than a dozen systems."

As she spoke, she looked a little embarrassed. When sleeping with more than a dozen systems at this time, many people had already been concerned about her safety.

"After waking up, I was busy with some things I had to do. I had planned to take a walk downstairs to change my mood while I still had time. I didn't expect to run into the Emerald Lady just as I left the house. She told me you were here, so I thought of coming over to see you."

Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

The robin shook his head again.

"I just arrived too."

This was not a lie. She had just said hello to the two people who were leaving.

"Is the situation with the Oak family still difficult?"

When talking about this, the robin couldn't help but sigh.

"They're all quite cooperative. It's just that they just went through such a big incident, and usually, my brother is the one who manages the family affairs..."

"This is already considered to be forcing the duck to climb the tree."

Xiaoniao was helpless. Although she could cope with it, she was not very good at such things. She always felt that she was unable to deal with them.

Zhu Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"Even if you say so, there's nothing I can do to help you."

He spread out his hands. He had never dealt with such a thing before and was even more of an amateur than a mockingbird.

"You've helped me a lot."

Mockingbird shook his head slightly. "I'd be embarrassed to let you participate any longer, and...are you feeling any better?"

"It's nothing serious anymore."

Zhu Qing raised his feet and said, "Since we're here, why not relax for a while and talk while we walk?"

"Ah."

The bird nodded and walked beside Zhuqing.

The two walked side by side. Robin looked up at Zhuqing, then glanced at Zhuqing's hand out of the corner of his eye.

She sighed silently.

"Luofu is going to hold a martial arts ceremony soon. It should be very lively."

"Martial Arts Ceremony?"

The robin tilted its head and looked at Zhuqing.

"Luofu holds this grand event every few hundred years. In the past, it was used to elect the Sword Master, but this time it seems a little different?"

Zhu Qing's tone was not very sure. Jing Yuan did not explain it clearly, but just asked Zhu Qing to participate.

"That should be quite lively, right?"

The robin's tone was a little excited. Although she was not a person who liked crowds very much, it would be a pity not to go and see this once-in-a-century event.

"Yes, after all, this is the first time Luofu has been open to the public since it experienced such a disaster. If nothing unexpected happens, Luofu should have invested a lot of effort in this martial arts ceremony. Shall we go together then?"

As it happens, Robin also needs some time to deal with family matters now, so it would be more appropriate to wait until things are settled before traveling.

"Good~"

The girl nodded in agreement. She looked at Zhu Qing with her beautiful eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Then... if we're going to make friends through martial arts, will Luofu invite non-Immortal Boat personnel to participate?"

"Of course, why are you asking suddenly..."

Zhu Qing paused and looked at the bird with a strange look in his eyes.

"You want me to compete?"

"..."

She did think that with Zhu Qing's strength, if he participated in the competition, he would definitely be able to win first place.
