Free Web NovelChapter 593: Chapter 60: Imbalance_2
Inside the car was dead silent.
...
Finally.
Chen Lu Si still drove back to Qinyuan and Mansion.
Mainly because he had nowhere else to go.
With the two sisters in Peng City, he couldn’t go back home.
Moreover, Xia Yue hadn’t returned yet, and he couldn’t be at ease until the events of the legend activation in Kunlun were resolved.
To be honest... he always felt that things were far more complicated than Si Yujie had said.
But for the moment, he couldn’t figure out what exactly was wrong.
Thinking about it, Chen Lu Si went upstairs and returned home.
He opened the door, changed his shoes, and entered the house.
Just as he stepped inside.
Chen Lu Si noticed.
The two sisters were curled up on the sofa, seemingly studying the admission report guide that came with the acceptance letter.
Chen Lu Si approached them and realized only then.
It’s already early September.
"Welcome back."
Lin Ying seemed to know he was back long before.
As soon as Chen Lu Si stopped, she immediately turned her head and raised her snowy chin to look at him.
"Welcome back."
Lin Wan also turned around, resting her snowy chin on the top of the sofa back, and reached out to tug at Chen Lu Si’s shirt hem.
"...When do you plan to report?"
Chen Lu Si, looking at the girl trying to pull his clothes, took a step forward and asked.
Lin Ying answered for her, "Tomorrow, I guess."
Chen Lu Si opened his mouth, just about to speak.
"..."
Lin Ying gently shook her head, "No need, I can accompany her. Didn’t you give her the talisman to summon you?
So rest assured, besides it’s not far, and I heard something happened at the Celestial Strategy Mansion, right?"
"...Kunlun?"
Chen Lu Si looked at Lin Ying’s delicate and beautiful face.
"Yes, I’ve seen it in the group chats, the entire Kunlun has lost contact."
Lin Ying gently nodded, "Ji Xin became the highest authority at the Celestial Strategy Mansion, and the Kunlun members deployed to each major team can’t reach anyone at headquarters no matter what.
The whole of Kunlun seems to have vanished from the human world, and all means of communication have failed.
Additionally, it seems there was an earthquake over at Kunlun."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lu Si fell silent for a moment, then immediately took out his phone and briefly browsed the main group of the Celestial Strategy Mansion.
Sure enough.
The main group over there was already in chaos.
Everywhere, Kunlun members were inquiring about the situation on Kunlun Mountain.
Moreover, it seemed the matter of Kunlun undergoing legend activation had already spread.
Because in addition to Kunlun members inquiring about Kunlun news... Celestial Strategy Mansion members were also discussing the news about main forces from various teams being dispatched to Kunlun.
There’s already a consensus about what happened over there.
"..."
Seeing Chen Lu Si’s expression gradually grow serious, Lin Wan slowly let go of his shirt hem and looked at her sister, a bit worried.
Lin Ying gave her younger sister a reassuring glance, then thought for a moment and stepped down from the sofa, coming in front of Chen Lu Si.
Noticing this, Chen Lu Si slowly put away his phone and looked at her.
Lin Ying clasped her hands behind her, her slender white fingers intertwined, slightly tilting her head to reveal her flawless, jade-like beautiful face, "I will handle Lin Wan’s affairs, don’t worry."
"...Alright."
Chen Lu Si slowly exhaled, "Sorry."
"..."
Lin Ying gently shook her head, indicating it was okay, then raised her hands to cup Chen Lu Si’s face, "Also, no matter what happens, Lin Wan and I will be by your side, so follow your heart.
...Do whatever you want to do, we will support you unconditionally, no matter what."
After speaking.
She slightly stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed Chen Lu Si.
Lin Wan paused slightly upon seeing this scene.
"Then I’ll accompany Lin Wan to continue studying the admission report guide."
And after the kiss as light as a dragonfly touch.
Lin Ying immediately released Chen Lu Si, then turned back to pull her sister up, "You go ahead and do your work. When you’ve decided on a departure time, just let me know."
With that.
Without waiting for Chen Lu Si to respond, she forcefully dragged her frequently glancing-back sister into the room.
Chen Lu Si watched them leave, gently pressed his lips together, then withdrew his gaze, sat back down on the sofa, and once again took out his phone to check the group messages.
To be honest.
Lin Ying helped him a lot.
This incident was indeed unusual, and Chen Lu Si felt uneasy.
After all, if it were really as Si Yujie said, that Xia Yue could simply resolve it, then Kunlun would not have lost contact, nor would it require the mobilization of intermediate and advanced empowerers from various major teams.
But the Celestial Strategy Mansion still did just that.
There’s only one possibility.
...Things have spiraled out of control.
But to what extent they have spiraled out of control.
Chen Lu Si wasn’t sure... The only thing he might be sure of is that this probably had something to do with him.
Because just after he suffered Celestial Thunder for using an Authority Ability and Technique, something happened with legend activation in Kunlun.
No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t seem like a coincidence.
But what exactly was the connection? Was it the Authority, or...
As he pondered.
Chen Lu Si suddenly realized something and stood up abruptly, glancing around.
But he couldn’t find the cat.
"...," he frowned, looked down at his shadow, and called softly, "Lan?"
There was still no response.
And no matter how he called next, the little girl in the white dress never appeared...
As for the main group messages, they were all chaotic without any real authoritative information.
Chen Lu Si couldn’t find any truly useful information.
Nor did anyone contact him.
All night long.
...there was no news.
On the other side.
Si Yujie and the others were in a similar situation; compared to Chen Lu Si, they were even more worried because of the conversation in the car...
