Chapter 428: Chapter 341 Blank Skill? Gui Xiao’s Betrayal!_2
“About the Ancient Tree Ent’s decision to stay or leave.”
The delicate nostrils of the Purple Poppy twitched slightly, suddenly asking, “Zheng Cheng, do you have something strange on you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Look.” Saying this, the Purple Poppy extended her hand, and a small flower suddenly grew from it.
Upon closer inspection, it looked very familiar, almost like… a Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower which had shrunk countless times!
“Is this… a Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower?” Zheng Cheng exclaimed, “How did it get on your hand?”
The Purple Poppy said with a bitter smile, “When I was in the Spirit Charm Blessed Land, I originally wanted to go to the temple on Black Mountain too, only to discover the rioting forest and the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine at the mountain’s base.”
“Us Gu Immortals, besides controlling Gu Insects, also inherently radiate an attraction to some special plants, sensing someone truly trying to tame the Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine.”
“I had already succeeded when suddenly the Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower sprouted out and attempted to devour that consciousness.”
“After discovering the person was Cui Xiabing, I intervened with the innate power of a Gu Immortal and subdued it.”
“The Spirit Enchanting Dragon Vine was in Cui Xiabing’s hands, while the Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower is now in mine.”
“I see,” said Zheng Cheng. “I know what it’s looking for.”
With that, he flipped his hand, and a walnut-sized seed with an odd appearance appeared in his palm.
The seed of the Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower!
Watching this seed, the flower in Purple Poppy’s hand began to wriggle, as if it had found some cherished object and slowly climbed onto it.
Zheng Cheng said, “It seems to like this seed quite a bit. What does it want to do?”
The Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower continued to wriggle, but this time it slowly withdrew.
Purple Poppy listened attentively, as if she were hearing something.
A few breaths later, she finally said, “The flower says it hopes you will take good care of its kin.”
“It also senses the legacy of the Spirit Charm Emperor on you, along with the aura of the Spirit Charm Blessed Land, and it hopes that you will properly continue their heritage…”
“It’s a conscious individual entity?”
“Kind of…” Purple Poppy tilted her head and smiled, “After all, with ten thousand years, it has long since awakened its own consciousness.”
“Having escaped from the Spirit Charm Blessed Land, it can be considered a unique life form.”
“Now, it is no longer of the Charm Clan but rather a new entity born from the Spirit Charm Blessed Land.”
“The Charm Clan… has already vanished into the long river of history.”
“I see…”
Zheng Cheng nodded, put away the seed of the Spirit Charmer Human Face Flower, and looked at Purple Poppy: “Regarding the exchange for the LV49 Realm Breaking Task professionists…”
“Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng!”
Just as he was speaking, Cai Ji’s voice suddenly rang out, and he rushed over.
“Brother Cheng… uh…”
He called out and then froze, staring at Purple Poppy, who was seated on the sofa, with wide eyes.
Purple Poppy also smiled lightly and nodded to him as a greeting.
“Uh…”
“What’s the matter? Is something wrong?”
“Uh… Captain Yunxiao is calling us to meet up; says there’s something to announce.”
Cai Ji also said to Purple Poppy, “Oh right, you’re called too.”
“Then let’s go together.”
The three of them walked out of the room in succession, Cai Ji secretly giving Zheng Cheng a thumbs-up, his eyes full of admiration.
Soon, the three arrived in a spacious room where Zhao Yunxiao, Yao Zhixue, Cui Xiabing, Zhou Xinyu, and others had been waiting for some time.
When they saw Purple Poppy and Zheng Cheng come in together, the expressions of a few people subtly changed.
“Everyone is here, so I’ll begin.”
Zhao Yunxiao said concisely, “I’ve already reported our situation upwards. Both the Nightwatcher and the School have expressed great concern and attention towards us.”
“In seven days, we will accompany the next group of rotation personnel into Blue Star. Do you have anything you need to prepare?”
“What do I need to prepare? I want to go back now…”
“We have been missing for a month, which is three years to the outside world!”
“Three years have passed, I wonder how my parents are doing…”
Several people murmured among themselves, and Zhao Yunxiao did not stop them. After a full few minutes, she finally said, “Besides these, Imperial Capital University has made some directives for you.”
“You have two choices.”
“The first one is to re-enter the freshman district for studies, and after three years, take the Graduation Assessment with the new students.”
“The second choice is to raise your level to LV69 within half a year, as well as cram all the cultural knowledge from these past three years, and then go for the Graduation Assessment.”
“I choose the second one!”
No sooner had Zhao Yunxiao’s voice fallen than Yao Zhixue spoke up.
Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, and he also said, “I choose the second one too.”
Cai Ji’s mouth twitched, but he gritted his teeth and said, “If Brother Cheng chose the second one, then I also…”
“Cai Ji!”
Zheng Cheng stopped him, saying, “Cai Ji, you have the Bloodline Transmigration Tool, I think it’s still better to start from freshman year and study anew, don’t be impulsive.”
“The power of Reincarnators is beyond doubt, but they need sufficient time to grow.”
“The second option isn’t suitable for you.”
“Quite right.”
Zhao Yunxiao also said, “Reincarnators need enough time to grow, or else it’s easy to perish halfway through.”
“Fortunately, Reincarnators grow much faster than regular professionists. Depending on the characteristics of their bloodline, it usually takes about three to ten years.”
