Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 271 Qinling Sacred Tree (30)

On the other side, Aning hurried back and couldn't wait to tell Qiu Dekao exactly what Ji Xiao had said to her.

However, Jude Kao's reaction after hearing these words was as expected - he did not believe them!

After all, he had already paid too much to find the secret of immortality, and this obsession had already taken root deep in his heart, like a demon that could not be shaken off. How could it be easy for him to let go?

After a long silence, Jude Kao slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a blazing fire. He said to Aning: "Aning, no matter what, you must get the secret of immortality. This is my lifelong wish and pursuit. This is for the sake of human beings all over the world. I will never give up!"

Before he finished speaking, Jude Kao turned around and walked straight towards the study. After entering the study, he immersed himself in those ancient documents and mysterious pictures and texts.

"Yes, Boss."

Looking at Jude Kao's back as he walked away, Aning couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness and worry. Facing such a stubborn Jude Kao, she really didn't know what to do next.

And through the brief contact with Ji Xiao before, Aning knew very well that the other party's strength was unfathomable. As for what kind of action Ji Xiao would take at that time, Aning had no idea.

At this point, it was useless for Aning to worry any more, but after careful consideration, she decided to temporarily follow her boss's arrangement, because she knew in her heart that no matter how much she tried to persuade Qiu Dekao, it would be useless.

At the same time, Ji Xiao was also preparing for a meeting with Jude Kao. She knew that Jude Kao's desire for immortality had reached a point of near madness, and it was almost impossible to get him to give up.

Ji Xiao has always kept in mind the teachings of her master, Taoist Qingyuan - "follow your heart."

Time passed quickly, and after a few days, night fell and everything was quiet.

Jude Kao unexpectedly received an anonymous letter. There was no mark on the envelope, but it revealed a sense of mystery. When he opened the envelope, a few lines of words came into his sight, simply inviting him to meet in a remote place.

Although the words in the letter were brief, they ignited Jude's deep desire like a fire. He firmly believed that this letter would lead him closer to the secret of immortality. So, he decided to take Aning to the agreed place without hesitation.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the agreed location. It was a desolate place with no villages or houses. Only Ji Xiao was standing there alone.

The moonlight sprinkled on the ground like water, reflecting Ji Xiao's slightly mysterious figure. She was motionless like a sculpture, making it difficult to see her true face, but the leisurely temperament that emanated from her body, as if she was in control of everything, gave people a sense of unfathomable depth.

The moment he saw Ji Xiao, Jude Kao could not suppress his inner anxiety and blurted out: "What do you know? What is the secret of immortality? Where is it?" He threw out a series of questions like a machine gun, as if he wanted to immediately uncover the mystery that had been bothering him for a long time.

Ji Xiaowei responded calmly, "There is no such thing as immortality in this world. Have you ever seen someone who can truly live forever? If such a person really existed, my ancestors would have crushed your place to the ground long ago. How could you be so arrogant to me here?"

Jude Kao sneered with disdain on his face: "Humph, it's just that he was too stupid and easily trusted others, so he missed the opportunity to gain immortality. And I am not just pursuing immortality for my own selfish interests. Everything I do is for all mankind!"

Ji Xiao shook her head slightly, indicating that she disagreed. She said, "No, you are just blinded by greed, and you have found a high-sounding excuse for your selfish desires. Even if you know the truth, what does it matter? You still can't change the fact that you are gradually aging."

After hearing this, Jude fell into deep thought, but his inner obsession was not shaken.

Ji Xiao stared at Qiu Dekao who was lost in thought, and then said, "So, you'd better give up the idea of ​​pursuing immortality as soon as possible, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the Wang family. If the time had not been ripe, everything you did would have come to an end two years ago."

Jude Kao leaned on a cane, staring at Ji Xiao in astonishment, and stammered in disbelief: "It's... it's you! You were the one who planned the riot two years ago..."

Ji Xiao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but did not answer him directly.

"And those people you sent to the sea prison are probably enjoying themselves in there right now. Don't worry, I will visit you again tomorrow." After saying that, Ji Xiao turned and left with light and quick steps.

In the blink of an eye, her figure merged into the endless darkness. However, at the end of the darkness, Zhang Qiling had already been waiting for her silently.

Thanks to their profound skills, they did not need to use any lighting tools such as flashlights even in this pitch-dark night.

Therefore, Ji Xiao came to Zhang Qiling's side, jumped like a happy little bird, and threw herself into his warm and broad arms. Zhang Qiling caught her steadily, held her tightly in his arms, and then walked towards the foot of the mountain together.

Along the way, Ji Xiao coquettishly said to him: "I'm so hungry~"

Zhang Qiling kissed her forehead gently and asked softly, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you later."

Ji Xiao snuggled in his arms happily, and after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Well... I want to eat delicious rice noodles with lots of chili peppers, so spicy that it's satisfying! I also want to gnaw on duck necks, the spicier the better! Oh, and the braised rabbit meat you cooked, I also want to eat it." As she spoke, she unconsciously licked her lips.

"Okay, it just so happens that I bought a lot of rice noodles and peppers when I went home last time, and I also bought a lot of duck necks from your favorite restaurant, and now there is some left in the space. As for the braised rabbit meat, you take out the rabbit later and I will cook it."

"Yeah~ Qi Ling, I'm so happy to have you by my side."

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the RV at the foot of the mountain. Zhang Qiling carried Ji Xiao into the car, put her on the sofa, and then poured a glass of warm water for each of them. After drinking it, he turned and walked into the kitchen to start busying himself.

Ji Xiao drove towards the city. However, before they got home, Zhang Qiling had already prepared the midnight snack.

That night, the two of them ate with relish the midnight snack prepared by Zhang Qiling himself, accompanied by the fruit wine carefully brewed by Ji Xiao. They talked until late at night, and then they returned to their room contentedly to wash up and rest.
