Chapter 127 Daily Life. - Today of 4 girls 6.
In the previous chapter, we have already talked about what happened to You Jiahui and Yang Mingyi that day. Now it is our turn to continue talking about what happened to Wei Qingping.
The Swordsman King just mentioned that he knew a few people in Stilas Odin and could quickly help Wei Qingping meet the friends who traveled through time with him.
After hearing this, Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Then the person you know must be the king of that place, right? It's normal for kings to know each other..." When she said this, she immediately became expectant again and began to imagine that she would have no worries about food and clothing after going to Stilas Odin.
Wei Qingping had originally thought that after meeting her fellow countryman, the Swordsman King, in this other world, she would have no worries about food and clothing, but now she was running for her life. She hoped that once she arrived in Stilas Odin, she could finally have the "no worries about food and clothing" she had longed for.
Unfortunately, the Swordsman King poured cold water on Wei Qingping. He told her, "I'm not familiar with that king, and I can't communicate with him as a king."
Wei Qingping asked the Swordsman King again, "Why not? Do you have a grudge against each other?"
King Jianhao immediately denied Wei Qingping's guess. He told Wei Qingping, "No. Look at me now. If I go to see other kings in this destitute and wandering state, it would be like telling other countries that there is civil unrest in Grilanchi. Then it will inevitably be necessary to rely on foreign forces to restore the country."
Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Isn't this a good idea? Are you too kind to start a war?"
The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "It's not because of this. I have seen war scenes before. I just don't want to get involved in it anymore. Anyway, I'm tired of being a king. It's boring!" After that, he stood up and prepared to set off.
Seeing King Jianhao's resistance, Wei Qingping hesitated to bring up the idea of "restoring the kingdom." She thought to herself, "Why does this sound so awkward? How many people want to be king? He's so free and easy, and so generous. This is truly rare..."
Even though King Jianhao had no plans to restore his kingdom, his ex-wife disagreed. She was now the Queen of Greylanch. She feared the possibility that King Jianhao would seek help from Styras Odin and restore his kingdom, which was why she was desperately trying to track him down and intercept him along the way.
The Swordsman King was about to talk about who he had met, but was interrupted by Wei Qingping. Afterwards, the two of them chatted about something else.
After a short rest, Wei Qingping and King Jianhao set off again.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two of them were about to start walking up a small slope.
At this time, the Swordsman King stopped and asked Wei Qingping, "Oh, right! I heard you call out 'Ming Yi' this morning. Could the other one who traveled through time be called 'Ming Yi'?"
After chatting about countless other topics, the Swordsman King returned to the previous topic and began to ask the names of Wei Qingping's friends.
Wei Qingping said she didn't understand and turned to ask the Sword Master King, "In the morning?"
King Jianhao told Wei Qingping, "You shouted so loudly!"
Wei Qingping finally realized that the Sword King was talking about her morning dream. She told him, "Before we know the names of the other travelers, there's no way to conclude that she's also traveled through time." Although she said this, she had actually already guessed in her heart that the four girls had traveled through time together.
King Jianhao asked Wei Qingping again, "Oh, so it wasn't just Qi Xinyang, but also the girl named Mingyi who was in the collapsed building, right?"
Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "Yes, we went there to play together..."
Although Wei Qingping answered truthfully, his answers were still very vague, which made it impossible for the Swordsman King to get accurate information from the conversation.
The Swordsman King said to Wei Qingping in a caring tone, "Little girl, don't play around everywhere. I've seen many girls chasing stars so hard that they can't go home. Forget it this time, but don't do it again in the future."
Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King, "There's no such thing as a future. We don't even know if we can go back. Besides, we're not going there to chase stars..."
There were indeed many girls their age who were fans of celebrities. But these four girls had nothing to do with being fans at all. King Jianhao was completely wrong. He guessed that Wei Qingping might have been chasing fans with her friends and ended up in the mall when the building collapsed.
The Swordsman King muttered, "That's true. After arriving in this other world, I haven't heard of any way to return."
King Jianhao asked Wei Qingping again, "Didn't you say you knew the gods? Why don't you ask the gods how to get back?"
Wei Qingping tilted her head, churning through her memories. She muttered, "Hmm? I can't quite remember what the gods said back then. It seemed they said something about why I couldn't... That's right! The secrets of heaven can't be revealed!"
King Jianhao was displeased after hearing this. He asked Wei Qingping, "What's so 'secret that can't be revealed' about this? How can I help you get back if you don't tell me?"
Wei Qingping quickly told King Jianhao, "It wasn't me who said that. It was the gods who said, 'Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed.'"
The Swordsman King finally understood. He nodded and said to Wei Qingping, "Oh, so... maybe the time wasn't right then. You should ask the gods again to see if the time has come."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qingping quickly closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them again and said to the Sword Master King, "No. The gods are ignoring me. This means the time has not come yet."
The Swordsman King showed a slightly disappointed expression, then said "Oh". Then he asked Wei Qingping, "Huh? Do I have to ask at the statue?"
Wei Qingping thought for a moment and told King Jianhao, "I'm not sure about that either. Maybe. Anyway, after leaving the statue, I haven't heard the god speak since."
The Swordsman King thought to himself, "This doesn't sound real to me..."
In reality, the Swordsman King was just hoping for a lucky break. If Wei Qingping could truly communicate with the gods, he could ask where the dangers lay ahead, allowing him to avoid them. He was treating Wei Qingping like a fortune teller.
After that, the two of them forgot about the numbness in their legs and feet while chatting, and finally climbed up the slope.
The Swordsman King began to question Wei Qingping again, saying, "You just said you weren't chasing stars, so what were you doing there? Did you go to the movies together?"
Wei Qingping told King Jianhao, "We didn't go to the movies." As always, it was difficult to reveal more information in her words.
King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "So what happened when you traveled through time? I didn't ask you in detail last time. Please tell me in detail this time."
Afterward, Wei Qingping recounted everything that had happened that day, including her suspicions of a stomach upset, the sudden appearance of flames in the darkness, and her sudden stomachache. Of course, she had no idea she had gone into the haunted house alone; she still believed the four girls had gone together.
Wei Qingping was one of those people who either spoke in broad strokes or went into detail. This time, she recounted every detail, both useful and useless, to the Swordsman King. Her narration was incredibly dull and tedious, often leaving one unable to grasp the main point for a long time.
After hearing that Wei Qingping was going to the deserted residential area with a friend, the Swordsman King thought to himself, "Oh, it seems that I was completely wrong before."
After a long while, the Swordsman King, after listening to the whole story, said to Wei Qingping, "Oh, that's just a few girls fooling around. They even went to a dark building at night to test their courage. As a result, the building collapsed... You guys are really brave. Aren't you afraid of running into bad guys in the dark? I thought you were just chasing stars at most."
Wei Qingping looked helpless and said to the Swordsman King, "If we had known that the building would collapse suddenly, we would never have been so foolish as to walk into it..."
The Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping, "Wait a minute, based on what you just said, isn't it very likely that the three people in Stilas Odin are your friends? Did you travel here as a group?"
Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "Oh, I've already said it. I just heard in a tavern in your country that Qi Xinyang also traveled through time. I'm not sure if the other two are my friends."
King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping, "Anyway, traveling through time is better than dying directly. This possibility is very high. Speaking of your friend named 'Qi Xinyang', when I heard the name, I thought he was traveling through time."
Then, the Swordsman King asked Wei Qingping, "One is called 'Qi Xinyang', the other is called 'Ming Yi', what is the name of the other one?
Wei Qingping told the Swordsman King, "The other one is called You Jiahui. Let me be clear, I can't guarantee that the other two have also traveled through time. It would be embarrassing if I found the wrong person in that country."
King Jianhao directly refuted Wei Qingping's "embarrassment theory." He said to Wei Qingping, "Even if the other two travelers are not your friends, they should be from our world. This can't be wrong. What's there to be embarrassed about? We all traveled through time, so we have to get to know each other."
The Swordsman King had only recently met the other travelers (Wei Qingping) in the other world. He was still a little excited to see the other three soon. It should be noted that at this time, he didn't know that Qi Xinyang had left Stilas Odin.
Only the Swordsman King could understand the loneliness of being the "only traveler" for so many years. His daughter was already eighteen years old, so it was obvious that he had spent an inordinate amount of time in the other world.
Wei Qingping thought for a moment and asked King Jianhao, "That might not be from our world, right? What if the other two travelers are from the 'Alternate World'?"
The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "There's no such thing as a 'different world'. I've heard a few things about summoning. Most summonings fail, and the specific reasons for failure are so bizarre I won't go into them. Some summoned people turn out to be ordinary people from this world, and eventually they return on their own."
Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King, "So, the other two summoned people might not be time travelers. They could be ordinary people from this world."
The Swordsman King shook his head and said to Wei Qingping, "Based on my understanding of Stilas Odin, they must have had no choice but to summon him this time. Since they allowed Qi Xinyang to become an adventurer, the other two summoned must also have impressive abilities. This was definitely a very successful summoning, and it is almost certain that the other two were also time travelers."
Wei Qingping asked King Jianhao, "Hasn't there ever been a successful summoning before us?"
The Swordsman King told Wei Qingping, "Anyway, since I traveled here, I haven't heard of any successful summonings except for yours. Before I traveled here, I'm not sure, but there must have been successful summonings. You might not have been summoned, though, since you're not in Stilas Odin."
Wei Qingping said to the Swordsman King, "Oh, yes. I may not be a 'summoned' traveler like you."
King Jianhao said to Wei Qingping in a serious tone, speaking relatively slowly, "So, you're probably like me, traveling through time after death..."
When Wei Qingping heard this, her face suddenly lost all expression. She muttered, "Oh, so that's it..." Then she lowered her head and thought to herself, "It seems I'm dead. Even if I return to that world, I'll be a corpse..." Thinking of this, she immediately closed her eyes.
What happened to Wei Qingping? Why did she suddenly close her eyes? Because only the gods could tell her the correct answer to this question. At this moment, she was asking the gods, "God, can you tell me, am I dead?" After that, she quietly waited for the gods' revelation.
After a long time, the god did not speak to Wei Qingping. She had already realized that she might really be like the Swordsman King, with no possibility of traveling back in time.
Then, they both remained silent for a long time.
The Swordsman King was the first to speak. He said to Wei Qingping, "By the way, your friend's appraisal is actually 'Ranger.' I've only heard of half-elves issuing this appraisal before."
Wei Qingping then slowly raised her head and asked King Jianhao, "Isn't it said that everyone's identification should be kept secret? Then why did Xin Yang's identification become known to everyone? And even spread to other countries?"
As mentioned in the chapter of the previous volume, at the statue, the elven holy wizard Mioshimo once told Wei Qingping various things about "identification" during casual chats and conversations.
So what will the Swordsman King say next, and what will the two of them encounter? We will continue in the next chapter.
