Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1393: Chapter 762: The World Qing Zhun Prepared for His Brother_2

Qing Ji said expressionlessly, ”You need to see this city, this is Xiao Zhun’s wish.”

Qing Chen was taken aback, ”My brother’s wish?”

”That’s right,” Qing Ji nodded, ”After you left the Inner World for the Outer World, he had the chance to meet her again.”

Qing Chen knew that ”her” probably referred to Yan Liuyuan.

Qing Ji continued, ”At that time, Xiao Zhun had already become a Shadow. He asked her: What is the Outer World like? Would Xiao Chen feel uncomfortable returning to the Inner World? What entertainment activities are there in the Outer World? What do people in the Outer World eat, what’s the best thing to eat, and what are people in the Outer World doing?”

”She answered him: The best thing in the Outer World is butter hot pot and small noodles. People in the Outer World are different from those in the Inner World, they can walk freely on the streets and it’s very safe. People in the Outer World live relatively affluent lives, with fewer loans and oppression, and no one will steal your kidneys on the street. Entertainment activities in the Outer World include foot baths, which are quite comfortable.”

”So, Xiao Zhun made a condition with the Family Head. He could continue to be Qing’s shadow, but City No. 5 must be somewhat like the Outer World, with hot pot, foot bath cities, the people should be a bit more affluent, and the streets a bit safer. He didn’t want you to find this place inferior to the Outer World when you returned. Thus, the Family Head introduced some legislation for this city under the pressure of various factions, reducing taxes, subsidizing, ensuring supply of materials, and improving crime-solving rates...”

”The real benefits were remembered by the people, so when everyone learned of his departure, a quarter of the civilians voluntarily wore Ginkgo Leaves to mourn him.”

Qing Chen looked around in a daze, no wonder this city was so strange, so different.

His brother had used what he heard from Yan Liuyuan to create this strange city for himself.

Xiao Zhun was within the class, unable to truly change the whole world. What he could do was make City No. 5 a bit more like the Outer World, so the sense of alienation wouldn’t be so strong when he returned here.

The other party had promised that when he returned, the whole world would be given to him, so this had to be a world he liked first.

So, upon arriving in City No. 5, Qing Ji didn’t take him to Ginkgo Mountain, but instead to the marketplace to see everything Xiao Zhun had done for him.

This clumsy way of giving made Qing Chen momentarily unable to say anything.

Qing Chen asked, ”Are you and my brother close?”

Qing Ji thought for a moment and said, ”Not bad.”

”What does ’not bad’ mean?” Qing Chen asked, puzzled.

”Don’t see each other often, wouldn’t die for him, but would avenge him, that’s ’not bad,’” Qing Ji said.

Qing Chen asked again, ”Do you know the conditions for containing the Door of Shadow?”

”I know,” Qing Ji glanced at Qing Chen, ”I have children, Qing Wu is my son.”

”Where is Qing Wu? He seems to have been missing for a long time,” Qing Chen said.

”Training, a Martial Warrior has only three things in life, training is the most important one,” Qing Ji said.

”What are the other two things?” Qing Chen was curious.

”The second thing is to contribute your skills to the Emperor’s family after training, and the third is to have children, to avoid ending the lineage,” Qing Ji replied expressionlessly.

”That really is... an indescribable life goal,” Qing Chen sighed.

At this moment, Qing Ji led Qing Chen to a dilapidated old building.

Qing Chen had a feeling, ”Was this the place where my brother and sister-in-law lived?”

”Yes,” Qing Ji said, ”It’s still the same, every week a mute servant comes to clean, rest assured, no one knows you’re living here, you can live here for now and explore around, no one will disturb you.”

”Are Qing Shi, Qing Xing, and Qing Yuan all in this city?” Qing Chen asked.

”Qing Yuan is here but in hiding, Qing Shi and Qing Xing are not hiding, but they are reclusive,” Qing Ji replied, ”You should be cautious, Qing Wen’s mother Qing Yun is also here, she firmly believes you killed her son.”

Qing Chen sighed, ”Aren’t you just making me carry the blame? What exactly do you want me to do?”

Qing Ji pressed the elevator button, 17th floor.

He calmly said, ”Blind date.”

”What the heck?” At this moment, Qing Chen’s mind was full of question marks.

The reason he came here was because the great demon Qing Ji had specifically gone to the wilderness and brought the arrangement from the Qing Clan House Master.

Qing Chen had speculated many possibilities, such as being summoned back to report on his duties, getting involved in some power struggle, or meeting certain important faction figures...

What he didn’t expect was that they had paid with an entire Nanorobot manufacturing line, expended so many resources, and made such a big fuss just to bring him back for a blind date!

Crazy!

Qing Ji calmly said, ”When I was your age, I already had Qing Wu. What you’re doing every day is too dangerous, leaving offspring is a safer bet, the lineage cannot be broken.”

Qing Chen: ”... Totally unnecessary.”

”Now it’s not up to you, for the next 14 days, your freedom belongs to us. But rest assured, if you don’t find anyone you like, no one will force you to do anything.”

Qing Chen: ”???”

Qing Chen fell into contemplation. According to his brother Qing Zhun, the one on Ginkgo Mountain would never do anything boring. Is procreation really that important? For the Family Head, it might indeed be significant, but not to the extent of forcing him into a blind date and procreation.

Perhaps there are other things waiting for him.

On reaching the 17th floor, room 1722, there was not a speck of dust after opening the door. The 30-plus square meter room looked cramped, but it was cozy.

Qing Chen suddenly froze, because this place had exactly the same layout as the little room he had seen in his dream, a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom.

Only, in the dream, he lived alone in the bedroom because the whole family wanted him to have a better living environment and study well to take the Qinghe University exam.

Here, in the bedroom, there was a bed that wasn’t spacious, only 1.5 meters wide. He could imagine his brother and sister-in-law cuddling and sleeping in warmth.

By the window was a small desk, and beside it a small wardrobe.

Apart from the furniture arrangement, everything else was the same as his dream.

This meant that his dream wasn’t entirely virtual, but rather his brother’s will had blended with the world and still influenced him.

That wasn’t a truly ’illusory dream,’ but a thought his brother left for him, showing him what the most beautiful life should look like.

Wait, if that’s the case, could it also mean that after his brother merged with the world’s will, his self-consciousness wasn’t completely obliterated?

The other party just merged, not vanished.

Qing Chen looked to Qing Ji abruptly, ”If... I mean if, my brother and the world’s will blend but haven’t completely perished, what should I do to separate him out?”

Qing Ji frowned, ”Don’t talk nonsense, merging with the world’s will is irreversible.”

”I said if! Your strength and experience in cultivation are higher than mine, based on your experience, how could he be separated out? Even if it’s just as a consciousness, it’s fine,” Qing Chen said, ”I’ve seen a person purely existing as a consciousness, Li Shentan! If he can do it, why can’t my brother?”

Qing Ji also fell into thought, ”Perhaps only a God could do it, but Gods are no longer in this world.”
