Outside Of Time

Chapter 1641: No More Pretending; It’s Time to Lay the Cards on the Table

Editor: Atlas Studios

A fierce wind howled, sweeping through the Immortal Palace.

In the darkness, amidst the thunder and lightning, Xu Qing’s figure pressed forward within the storm.

Though the heavenly secrets were in disarray, his heart remained steady.

Though the skies changed color, his spirit stood unwavering.

The matter tonight was almost completely clear. The piece transformed from the daughter of the Nine Shores was the horn that signaled Xu Qing’s turnaround, yet after this horn sounded, he still needed a spear.

Thus, his figure appeared outside the central area of the Immortal Palace, at the entrance of the cluster of halls surrounding the Aurora Palace. Despite the terrifying divine senses scanning him, his pace did not slow in the slightest. He crossed the plaza directly, and when he finally halted, he stood before the Aurora Palace itself.

The wind and rain here were even heavier. The rain poured down and fluttered in the wind, washing away the void and the limestone slabs on the ground.

Water splashed endlessly.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed to the palace.

“Father!”

“I have a few things to do tonight.”

“I want to use the marriage contract!”

Thunder rumbled but it couldn’t shatter Xu Qing’s voice.

After this period of observation and judgment, he was very confident that his request could be satisfied.

This was because the marriage contract originally belonged to the Young Lord!

Even though he had some hesitation at the start, after experiencing this, he didn’t believe that… as the Immortal Lord, Aurora… wouldn’t know about what was happening within the Immortal Palace and about the outsiders!

Although this period of history was only a mirrored space-time, those existences in this space-time had extremely high levels. Hence, Xu Qing didn’t believe that those elders in the immortal palace wouldn’t sense any abnormalities!

However, from the start to the end, they chose to remain silent.

They didn’t interfere!

Regardless of whether it was the order or the changes, they didn’t help or stop it.

To a certain extent, silence meant tacit agreement!

They tacitly allowed all actions to happen!

Hence, after combining his observations and judgment during this time, Xu Qing made this trip tonight!

At that moment, his voice entered the palace and landed on the figure sitting cross-legged in the hall.

The figure slowly opened its eyes. Its left eye was pitch-black and its right eye was resplendent as it stared outside.

A while later, the wind and rain stopped, the thunderclap stopped, and everything froze. A golden light slowly rose from under the Aurora Palace and floated in front of Xu Qing.

It was a golden iron plate with the words ‘marriage contract’ engraved on it.

It was the marriage contract between the Young Lord and Fairy Spirit Phoenix.

Accompanying the marriage contract was Aurora Immortal Lord’s calm voice.

“There are some reasons why I can’t help you with the matter you want to deal with.”

“You can handle it yourself.”

“After you’re done, remember to go back early and rest.”

Xu Qing lowered his head and agreed a moment later.

He then took the marriage contract and turned to leave.

The heavy rain was behind and the storm was in front.

The storm tonight became even heavier as Xu Qing left. When the thunder rumbled for the third time, Xu Qing’s figure had already appeared outside the academy in the Immortal Palace!

Xu Qing was no stranger to the academy due to the Young Lord’s memories.

In his memory, the entire academy was composed of buildings made from immortal wood, with roofs covered in blue tiles. The surroundings were encircled by immortal trees, creating a serene environment. Occasionally, there were small bridges and flowing streams, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.

But now, in the dark night and the storm, the view was different.

The trees were swaying violently, the flowing water was nowhere to be seen, and the small bridges were blurred by the rain. The buildings, however, emitted a gentle glow, as if isolated from the world.

Staring at the academy, Xu Qing took a step forward.

He walked into the haziness and the gentle light. All the restrictions here didn’t exist to him.

With the status of the Young Lord, there were only a few areas in the entire Immortal Palace that he was not permitted to enter, but the academy was not one of them.
