The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 836: Jing Jiu's Choice

Zhong Lizi is a very clever little girl. Now that she knew that the story of Dao Chaotian was true, she naturally figured out many things quickly, such as why the teacher thought Jing Jiu was the new god, why there were so many big figures appearing in the priest's manor these days, why the capital city was under martial law that day, and why so many things happened.

—— Jitang is competing with those ascended for Jing Jiu, and now he has made his own choice.

He came from the same place as those ascended, and in more common terms, he was a fellow villager.

Jing Jiu told her the principle of being a guest and an anchor in a foreign land.

She understood his decision, but she was still a little worried, and said, "Don't trust those people."

Jing Jiu said, "I won't trust anyone."

Zhong Lizi was not disappointed by this sentence, looked at him nervously and asked, "Can I go with you?"

"No. Put away the paper crane I gave you, and tear it up or burn it if you encounter danger."

After Jing Jiu finished speaking, he walked to the balcony.

Zhong Lizi knew that he couldn't change his decision, so he curled his lips a little bit aggrieved.

The next moment, she walked up to him with a cup of tea and handed it over.

Jing Jiu took a sip from the teacup and looked at the tree in the courtyard.

Zhong Lizi followed his gaze and saw Jiang Yuxia and Huaxi sitting under the tree.

Jiang Yuxia was a little depressed and said something softly.

Huaxi opened her big eyes with innocent eyes, probably she didn't understand.

The lawn outside the courtyard is like a carpet, and the green trees form a forest.

Suddenly, a wind pierced through from the depths, shaking the treetops, presumably a suspension train came from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, several suspended cars and even two spaceships arrived at the manor.

Ran Handong got off a spaceship, stood on the grass, and greeted the big shots who came from everywhere.

The bishops of the sacrificial hall, senior officials in the government, members of the management committee, heads of various families, and even Ran Donglou came in person.

"Take Major Ran and go, she can help you, and you also need someone to take care of your life." Zhong Lizi said.

Jing Jiu ignored the big men who rushed to the manor, still looked at the two girls under the tree, and said, "I'll take Huaxi."

Zhong Lizi was surprised, thinking how could it be Huaxi?

If Ran Handong's identity is really inconvenient, Jiang Yuxia is also a good choice.

Huaxi is a cute and ignorant child, even if he is a distant relative of the Hua family, what can he do for you?

...

...

"What's going on? Who did he meet today?"

"General Li? This is impossible!"

"That guy just met him a few days ago. Could it be that he doesn't even have that little patience?"

"This is betrayal!"

Those big figures came to the priest's manor, naturally because Ran Handong told them what happened today.

They want to know the truth of the matter and also want to change the direction of the story.

Jing Jiu didn't see them, even Ran Donglou.

But no one dared to rush upstairs, and even the voices of questioning and scolding were very low. That day in the military headquarters building, even Shen Yunbu was almost destroyed, and the shock caused by this made everyone dare not take any action against Jing Jiu, even dared to test him.

Facing an emotionless alloy wall, he could only retract his fists if he dared not touch them.

The discussion in the hall became lower and lower until it became absolutely quiet, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Dozens of eyes fell on Ran Donglou, and people hoped that the old man would have something to say.

Ran Donglou didn't say anything, just sat in the chair expressionlessly.

"Actually, you can't blame him. After meeting him that day, the priestess didn't say anything, and she never made a statement. What can he do?"

Huaxi glanced at the picture downstairs, and said softly to Jiang and Xia.

Jiang Yuxia smiled bitterly, but said nothing.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Zhong Lizi motioned for them to come in.

What is going on in the room is not a farewell ceremony, but preparations before leaving, such as packing luggage.

Jing Jiu didn't have any luggage, so packing it up was easy.

He likes the tea made by that iron pot, and it is impossible to take the iron pot with him. All he really needs is a few clothes.

It didn't take long for Ran Handong to neatly fold the blue hooded sweaters and put them into the black backpack.

Up to this point, she still played the role of a secretary perfectly.

She hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you need me to follow you?"

Jing Jiu glanced at Huaxi who had just walked into the room, and said, "I'll take her with me."

Ran Handong was a little surprised, Jiang Yuxia was very surprised, thinking why did you bring her?

Huaxi herself was even more surprised, pointing to her nose, with innocent eyes, said: "Me?"

Jing Jiu didn't explain the reason.

Huaxi looked at Zhong Lizi pitifully.

She is Zhong Lizi's attendant.

Zhong Lizi said apologetically, "He said he would keep you safe."

Huaxi said nervously: "Is it okay if I don't want to? I...I...I want to ask my family for their opinions."

Jing Jiu said, "I'll ask."

There was something else hidden in this sentence, Zhong Lizi, Jiang Yuxia and Ran Handong didn't hear it.

Huaxi glanced at him a little annoyed, wondering if it was because of the anger, she was no longer as scared as before.

She snorted, took the black backpack and put it on her back, tied the two shoulder straps together vigorously, turned around and left the room.

...

...

When Jing Jiu came to the main star on the Lieyang battleship, he attracted worldwide attention.

Humans in the entire Galaxy Alliance and on hundreds of planets are amazed by his beauty and speculate about his origin.

When he left the main star today, he was so low-key.

There was no live television broadcast, and no public knew about it.

He and Zhong Lizi walked towards the other side of the lawn, Huaxi followed behind with a backpack on their backs.

Only dozens of people saw this scene, and of course these people were big names in the Galaxy Alliance.

When the Antarctic ice sheet parted, General Li said he would send someone to pick him up soon.

As the leader of mankind, he really did not lie, and he was very punctual.

More than a dozen suspension vehicles with military emblems parked quietly on the lawn, and dozens of fully armed and mechanically armored special forces were waiting for him.

There are many trees in the middle of the lawn, some are forests, and some are independent.

Jing Jiu and Zhong Lizi stopped, just under a tree.

The little girl from Huaxi seemed to have a bit of a temper, so she ignored them, walked directly into the hover car, took off her backpack, and casually threw it at the end of the seat.

The shade of the trees fell on Jing Jiu and Zhong Lizi's bodies, and the breeze blew by, making them very cool.

It's a pity that it didn't rain at this time, otherwise it would be more like Stargate University.

Everyone's eyes, no matter those government dignitaries or the soldiers who came to pick up Jing Jiu, all focused on this young couple.

The first commoner priestess and the beautiful young man with a mysterious background but who had high hopes at the same time as General Li were a perfect match no matter how you looked at it.

If there should be stories in this world, the hero and heroine of the story should be like this.

"Actually... I really like that novel you wrote."

Zhong Lizi raised his head, looked into Jing Jiu's eyes and said earnestly, "I like Lian Sanyue, I also like Zhao Layue, and I also like Immortal Jing Jing."

"I know."

Jing Jiu reached out and touched her head.

...

...

More than a dozen suspension vehicles left the lawn and drove towards the outside of the manor without a sound, and soon disappeared. The direction should be heading for the capital city. The emotions of those big shots are a bit complicated, but for some reason they feel a lot more relaxed.

The situation is still the same as before, and there is at least one good thing, and that is peace.

Many people even thought that Jing Jiu accepted General Li's invitation, or it was because of these two words.

Bishop Taiyang, the priests from the Stargate Base, and Councilor Sha Yu kept saluting gestures.

Their thinking was different from those people, and they still believed in Jing Jiu, thinking that this was a test from the gods.

The road of life is long, like the channel between the stars and the ocean, who knows what will happen in the future?

...

...

More than a dozen hover vehicles entered the capital city from low altitude, the streets had long been cleared, and soldiers in charge of martial law could be seen everywhere.

The closer one entered the core area of ​​the capital city, the stricter the security and the more dignified the atmosphere.

The figure of the warship outside the atmosphere is clearly visible, and even the laser main gun platform can be seen.

Hundreds of battle mechs floated quietly in the sky, their weapons aimed at the military building.

The internal structure of the military building has been restored, and the outer walls still have traces of the battle that day.

It wasn't until the dozen or so suspension vehicles entered the underground parking lot of the building that the atmosphere in the capital became a little more relaxed.

The elevator goes directly from the underground car park to the top floor of the building.

With a soft beep, the door was opened.

The middle-aged female officer surnamed Chen was waiting outside, and said softly, "General Li is waiting for you."

She is more polite than that day.

Jing Jiu signaled Huaxi to wait for him outside, and walked towards the office at the end of the metal corridor.

Huaxi was a little restless, looking around curiously.

I don't know if the metal surface of the chair is too smooth and cold, or because of tension.

Books are everywhere in the office, just like the Sutra Library on Shiyue Peak.

General Li was standing in front of the bookshelf, reading a book.

He didn't raise his head when he heard Jing Jiu's footsteps, and asked directly, "A doll from the Hua family?"

Jing Jiu hummed.

General Li said, "It's an interesting choice."
