Chapter 2647: 愿雪

It was a noisy New Year's Eve night, and Aurora City was even more festive with the appearance of the aurora.

Dark Moon stood on the colorful Aurora Bridge, her long robe fluttering in the wind, her veil sprinkled with snow. Nine steps away from her was Liu Yanzhao, the Frost Harmony Bishop, who had stopped her.

"Dark Moon girl, what is the meaning of this?" Liu Yanzhao's face was like frost. "This cooperation between us is top secret. We came together first and chose to meet in Aurora City precisely to avoid detection. The frozen heavenly secrets here, and the coming and going of people from the north and south, can also help us hide..."

"Now that we've been discovered, we have to resolve the matter. The guest from Three Points Fragrance Building has come a long way, let me handle this matter. I will handle it, and I will bear the consequences. Why do you keep blocking me?"

This great bishop couldn't understand the actions of the demoness from Three Points Fragrance Building at all. "Even to this extent, and this person is living together and eating together to guard against me."

"The Bishop misunderstands," Dark Moon smiled like a spring orchid. "Ye Xiaoyun and I are living in the same courtyard purely as Jianghu acquaintances, our interests align, we drink wine and talk happily, we hold candlelit conversations... It's not to guard against you."

Liu Yanzhao said coldly, "The wine has been drunk, and the talking is done. There's no banquet that doesn't end, Dark Moon girl should step aside."

"Oh!" Dark Moon looked up at the magnificent aurora. "It's so beautiful tonight."

She was still smiling. "How about we change the day?"

"The hidden danger has appeared in my hands," Liu Yanzhao said coldly. "As long as this matter is not resolved, I won't be able to sleep peacefully."

Although Dark Moon was still smiling, her voice had softened by three points. "I already told you about this person in the teahouse. I will protect her. I will be responsible for all problems."

"You responsible? You can't!" Liu Yanzhao was almost angered to laughter. He felt that Three Points Fragrance Building had sent this woman who simply didn't understand priorities, completely lacking awareness of the severity of the problem. How could Rakshasa Mingyue Jing entrust such an important matter to such a woman? Wasn't Lan Er, who came to Polar Heaven Vault for the first time last night, more reliable?

"In the teahouse, I only gave you an opening. If you had followed it and left, it would have been considered you did your best. This matter concerns your Building Master's final step, and also involves Great Li's thousand-year national fortune. How can you be responsible?"

"I can guarantee that she heard nothing," Dark Moon said.

Liu Yanzhao shook his head. "Seeing you and me meet is already very dangerous!"

"Bishop Liu," Dark Moon said seriously. "I guarantee this person won't say anything."

Liu Yanzhao was unmoved. "In this world, the only people who can be guaranteed not to speak are dead people."

Dark Moon finally looked him in the eyes. "Then does that mean even I have to be eliminated?"

"At least in this matter, we share the same fate, for better or worse." After all, the two sides were cooperating, and Liu Yanzhao didn't want to make things too stiff, so his tone softened a bit. "Dark Moon girl, now is not the time to be soft-hearted. You weren't originally a soft-hearted person, so what is it today?"

"Your Building Master and my Country Lord are both not convenient to show their faces at this stage, which is why you and I have the opportunity to do things. This is an opportunity, and also a danger. Both of us are just pawns, we can only advance, not retreat!"

He also spoke from his heart. "I don't know what your relationship with this person is. But you must not hesitate any longer. Neither of us can afford the consequences of failing this task."

"I actually don't have any relationship with her, we just met by chance," Dark Moon sighed. "Bishop Liu doesn't understand, this person's identity is not simple."

"Of course I know she's not simple. To have such ability at a young age, she must come from a famous family. But precisely because she's not simple, it's more likely to ruin our matter! If it were a countryside villager, seeing us would just be seeing us, they wouldn't think anything of it," Liu Yanzhao maintained his patience as much as possible. "At such a crucial moment, the more not simple she is, the less we can let her speak. Surely Dark Moon girl doesn't understand this principle?"

Seeing Dark Moon not speak, he said again, "This person's disguise technique is indeed excellent. I asked people to analyze it, it should be from Zhao Wuyan's unfinished miscellaneous scripture... Tracing her identity, she is nothing more than an important disciple of Dragon Gate Academy. Looking at her age, she's not Yao Zishu."

Before making a decision, Liu Yanzhao also carefully considered it and did not act rashly. "As long as it's not Dean Yao's daughter, Li Country doesn't need to worry."

Dark Moon pressed her eyebrows, feeling a bit of a headache. She couldn't say that Liu Yanzhao's approach was wrong, her view of life didn't use 'right or wrong' to judge things. But such a serious person was obviously very difficult to deal with.

"Bishop Liu should go back first," she said. "I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Seeing her attitude, and considering the importance of this cooperation, Liu Yanzhao decided to retreat another step. "Dark Moon girl, rest assured, I won't do anything to her, I'll just confine her for a period of time. When the matter is over, I will naturally release her. Winter Fairy Technique can make her unaware of the passing of this time."

"To you it's a retreat, but to this person, your retreat is not enough," Dark Moon still shook her head. "You and I both know that the world is different for everyone. Some people can waste time, year after year, some people can't even delay for a single day."

"Then what kind of person is she exactly? The next Yellow River champion?" Liu Yanzhao actually laughed.

He wasn't being careless, but this woman from Three Points Fragrance Building was bluffing too obviously. Could it be that she wanted to rely on these few words, an unknown identity, to shake the dominance of this cooperation?

This was the snow plain!

Li Country was the first strong country under the dominant country, and he was a frontier official of Li Country. There were actually not many people in the world he couldn't offend, especially when he acted on behalf of Li Country. In the snow plain region, he could even represent the truth!

His retreat was Hong Junyan's retreat. His silence was Li Country's weakness.

"If I tell you her identity, it may affect her travels. This is what I am unwilling to see," Dark Moon's charming eyes were always associated with lies, but at this moment, they actually made people feel her seriousness. She said slowly, "I am unwilling to have even the slightest influence on her. This is just a passing encounter."

Liu Yanzhao gave up communicating, and in the magnificent aurora, took out his bishop's staff. "Then..."

Dark Moon raised her head.

But she saw the vast night sky, spanned by the aurora. Wind and snow flew, and someone tread on the moon to arrive.

That was a scholarly person, his long shirt hanging with snow, his folding fan cutting through the wind. Many years ago, he was like this, and many years later, he was still this way. Every move had twelve points of elegance. But at this moment, between his eyebrows hung three points of solemnity.

Once the prodigy of the snow plain, now Great Li's pillar of the nation, True Monarch Meng Lingxiao!

"Go back," when he descended, he instructed so.

Liu Yanzhao had to retreat, but having done so much preliminary work, his heart was truly unwilling. Having always been serious in his actions, he also couldn't understand such a rash decision. "Adult Meng!"

"Under heaven Li Yi, above heaven Jiang Wang," Meng Lingxiao glanced at him faintly. "The person you want to capture and confine for a period of time is the younger sister of that one above heaven."

Liu Yanzhao opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to say something about Jiang Wang, but these words really couldn't be spoken. Not even Fu Huan, not even Hong Junyan could say such words! Finally, he just bowed to Meng Lingxiao, turned and left, withdrawing from this action.

Dark Moon was right, the world is different for everyone. If anyone noticed his exchange with Dark Moon, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it could only be said to be unfortunate, and they would all inevitably suffer an unfortunate outcome. But Jiang Wang's younger sister was obviously not in the 'unfortunate' category. That could only be considered him, Liu Yanzhao, being unlucky.

The contemporary True Person of the proud snow plain, a frontier official who controlled a large diocese, who could determine the existence of millions of lives. Yet, he couldn't even stand on tiptoe to reach that 'above heaven'.

Meng Lingxiao's gaze returned, quietly falling on Dark Moon's body. Dark Moon also did not speak.

In the aurora, for a time, there was only icy cold staring!

"You are undoubtedly a smart person, but sometimes being smart isn't a good thing," Meng Lingxiao finally said.

Dark Moon said faintly, "True Monarch Meng's teaching, Dark Moon has noted."

Meng Lingxiao put his hands behind his back, looking down at the human world. He could naturally see that a vague golden light of the God of Wealth covered that small courtyard in the west of the city.

Ye Lingxiao fought to the death, shocking the world. The path of immortal god dual cultivation had already illuminated the present world.

Was the younger sister of Town River True Monarch coming to the snow domain at this time entirely an accident?

"Our cooperation will temporarily stop," his tone was cold. "Since you know her, let her leave quickly."

Dark Moon bowed, very elegantly. "As you wish."

Between smart people, there was no need for too many words.

So Meng Lingxiao just looked at her deeply, then turned and stepped into the aurora.

Some people say that the aurora of the snow domain can fulfill life's wishes. Those who trek ten thousand miles to come here may not gain anything, but they ultimately possess 'dreams'... Young Meng Lingxiao said, the aurora is a dream of a thousand years!

Jiang Anan stood in the courtyard, looking at the aurora in the sky, bidding her final farewell to this city.

Under the magnificent aurora, there was still long darkness. The whole city was silent in the interval between about to wake and not yet awake.

Her luggage was already packed, and the courtyard furnace fires were all extinguished.

She didn't know where Dark Moon girl had gone, but this farewell was also Jianghu.

There was a saying, "Meeting doesn't require acquaintance, I can avoid what I can't afford."

"Stupid Ash! Let's go!"

Jiang Anan turned decisively.

Stupid Ash whimpered, tucked its tail, and hid behind her.

The courtyard door was wide open, the wind and snow unobstructed.

Outside the door stood that unpredictable woman, her figure graceful, her beautiful eyes slightly turned. In the cold wind, she cast a resentful gaze.

"But where did this concubine offend... Little Cloud mister is leaving without saying goodbye?" she asked.

It was clearly quite an unreasonable sentence, yet she said it with tender affection.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anan suddenly felt as if she were a heartless man!

But she, Jiang Anan, was also a woman!

"Mountains are long and waters are far, geese return sadly, we are fated to meet again! There's no need to miss a casual encounter, why see me off, girl!" Jiang Anan used her 'play dumb and fool' act, cupped her hands in a bow, then left with a haughty air.

Dark Moon pulled her back with one hand. "Let you go?"

Jiang Anan staggered, and followed the momentum to turn left. A spiritual light flashed under her feet, her body like a white crane passing through clouds.

She was pulled back again by one hand.

Jiang Anan gritted her teeth, constantly changing her body techniques, Zuo clan's tread heaven step, Helian Changsheng's roam...

Dark Moon just reached out and pulled her back to her original spot, not letting her move half an inch.

Jiang Anan simply stood still, straightened her clothes, and casually smoothed her forehead hair. "Let's go, let's go eat breakfast together."

Dark Moon smiled and cast an appreciative gaze. "You knew this early, interesting. You can go in circles here before dawn?"

Jiang Anan sighed deeply. "Whose life doesn't waste some time, going in circles on the spot?"

Her brother from before had a saying, as long as you admit defeat quickly, you can't be defeated.

As for adding some seemingly profound sighs besides admitting defeat, that was her own drama. Thirty-one year old Ye Xiaoyun sighing about life, this conformed to her character design.

Dark Moon was still silent!

"No matter how the past was, how much time was wasted, it's not too late to start now," Jiang Anan continued to sigh in her usual manner.

Stupid Ash stepped on the snow, sometimes deep, sometimes shallow, chasing the footprints of its front paw with its back paw, playing happily by itself.

"What if you can't get through?" Dark Moon suddenly asked.

"If this road doesn't work, there are other roads. If it doesn't work today, it will work tomorrow. Whether you get through or not, people must always move forward!" Jiang Anan replied casually.

"If it doesn't work today, it will work tomorrow..." Dark Moon chewed on the words. "You make me laugh, older sister hasn't read much. Where did this sentence come from, does it have a story?"

Jiang Anan laughed heartily. "I suggest you buy a copy of 'Shen Xiu Poetry Collection'. Although it's poorly written, the price is not cheap."

"What are its merits?" Dark Moon laughed.

"It's uniquely poor," Jiang Anan told the truth.

"I'll definitely get a chance," Dark Moon followed the person and the dog in front, her mood seemed to relax with her tone. "Where are you taking older sister for breakfast?"

Jiang Anan walked ahead, a light familiar with the road. "There's a freshly baked stuffed pancake shop on the street ahead. The secret spicy sauce is very addictive. They usually start the fire at the fourth watch. If we go now, we can just catch the first batch."

It was hard to imagine that she had only stayed in Aurora City for four days!

Discussing the characteristic food of this place, even local people weren't necessarily as knowledgeable as her.

"You should write a food travel record of Ye Xiaoyun," Dark Moon suggested with a smile.

Jiang Anan's sea of inspiration seemed to be split open by a lightning bolt!

She always felt that her travel record lacked something, a key point or outline that connected everything. Every time she wrote about customs, history, the present, politics... it was a headache, squeezing out every word.

Occasionally, when she mentioned local food, her pen flowed smoothly, writing hundreds of words effortlessly.

Why couldn't she just focus on recording food?

Mister Zuoqiu Wu had 'Era Architecture History', using the changes in architecture to reflect the changes in history. What did the food of Aurora City not embody about Aurora City?

If you asked her where the local famous sites were, she would have a hard time answering. If you asked her where there was good food, she knew it like the back of her hand. Even if she didn't understand at the moment, she would follow the scent.

If travelers of the world could all eat authentic food from everywhere through this food travel record, without being cheated and losing less, wouldn't that count as a merit?

"Hmph hmph, I just have this intention," she said.

"Excellent!" Dark Moon's voice was full of anticipation. "After the book is finished, you must send one to me first!"

The first book would definitely be sent to Sister Qing Yu, because women are prone to jealousy.

The second book would necessarily be sent to her own brother, the person she loved most.

The third book... well... it depended on the share of inspiration provided, and that was somewhat possible.

But Jiang Anan deeply knew that 'women need to be coaxed', so she said, "No problem!"

Whether they could still contact each other afterwards might not be certain.

What did Ye Xiaoyun's debts have to do with Jiang Anan?

"The weather is strange this year, much warmer than usual..." Inside Old Glutton Head Stuffed Pancake Shop, the uncle kneading the dough was chatting idly with the aunt filling the stuffing, when he suddenly saw them and a simple smile bloomed on his face. "Ye big hero is here?"

He wiped his hands on his apron. "The beef stuffed pancakes have already been baked, would you like to try some?"

"I came just for this bite!" Jiang Anan said with a haughty laugh.

"Ye big hero is very familiar with the shop owner?" Dark Moon asked with a smile.

"Thanks to Ye big hero's help—" The uncle bringing the pancakes over was very talkative, and stood there starting to express his gratitude with tears in his eyes.

The process of the matter was simple. It was nothing more than a group of people causing trouble in the stuffed pancake shop, not only eating things without paying, but also finding fault and saying that the shop owner discriminated against 'far people'. This was a very serious accusation!

"Far people" was the term for those from the past who now supported the snow country.

From the early ice seal of the new calendar until now, several thousand years of time had not frozen together with them. There were too many conflicts between the past and the present, and huge confusion once covered Li Country.

How to thoroughly integrate "far people" into society had always been a big problem.

"Far people" and present-day people enjoyed the same rights and bore the same obligations - this was written into Li Country's law.

Just as the Son of Heaven said, those born in Li Country were Li people. The sun and moon shone equally, and the mountains and rivers were shared.

There was no problem with the law, but in specific implementation, problems occurred.

So many people from the past supporting the future were collectively an embodiment of the will of the overlord of that generation, Hong Junyan. As individuals, however, they each had their own moods. Among them were not only warriors but also villains.

Not a few relied on their identity as "far people" to cause trouble, and based on considerations of national stability, officials generally tended to appease "far people"...

There was dissatisfaction with "far people" among present-day people, and discrimination also existed, but the vague judgment of exactly what constituted "discrimination" gave birth to fertile ground for maliciousness.

The incident that happened in Old Glutton Head Stuffed Pancake Shop was not an isolated case. Jiang Anan happened to see injustice on the road and helped to handle it properly, which is how she became familiar with the shop owner.

Dark Moon took a large bite of the stuffed pancake, understanding in her heart that Jiang Anan had come back to eat a meal before leaving because she wanted to take a look and avoid any aftermath caused by her intervention.

In terms of doing things, she was indeed more mature than the youth she was initially in Maple Forest City. But this maturity was not psychological maturity, but rather having received a good education... Simply put, someone had taught her how to do things.

She was truly a happy child.

That person had climbed up from the abyss and lifted his own younger sister to the sky...

Five portions of beef stuffed pancakes, three bowls of plum blossom snow wine. The most authentic breakfast in Aurora City, it filled the hurried travelers.

"Little Cloud mister, where are you planning to go next?" Full of wine and rice, Dark Moon took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped her mouth.

Those rich red lips were truly gorgeous. Pressed on the silk, she didn't know if it was lipstick prints or the embroidered pattern of plum blossoms. In any case, it was a branch of cold plum reflecting red on the snow, making the hearts of the diners nearby ripple.

Jiang Anan subconsciously also wanted to take out a handkerchief, but thinking of her current identity, she wiped her mouth with her hand instead, and said in a rough voice, "The place I'm going is not convenient for a woman to follow."

Dark Moon said amusedly, "I don't know what place?"

Jiang Anan originally wanted to casually say a brothel or something to make this woman back off. But she suddenly realized that the biggest and most famous brothel under heaven was not Three Points Fragrance Building?

And the person opposite her was just a high-level figure from Three Points Fragrance Building!

"I want to go and see Eternal Saint Winter Peak," Jiang Anan finally said.

Facing Fu Huan, who alone镇守 Polar Heaven Vault, would this demoness still dare to act recklessly?

"What a coincidence!" Dark Moon laughed happily. "Ever since I was little, I've wanted to see the snow of Saint Winter Peak!"

She looked at Jiang Anan seriously, her tone not like a fake. "This is my most serious New Year's wish in thirty-three years."
