What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Chapter 289: I'll Wait For Him

This attitude made Qiu Wuji feel that Chu Tiange might have sensed something. Although he was not yet qualified in his cultivation, the protagonist was still the protagonist.

Even though Chu Ge had severed his romantic ties, he had written other aspects of the story from a deeply personal perspective. Chu Tiange’s connection to the Heavenly Dao might even surpass that of the Little Flame.

Of course, it couldn’t compare to her own connection to the Heavenly Dao!

Similarly, if characters like Yan Qianli, Xie Jiuxiao, or Abbot Great Compassion were to “rebel,” although Chu Ge would be unhappy and might even throw a tantrum, it wouldn’t hurt him too deeply. But if Chu Tiange were to “rebel,” Chu Ge would probably be truly hurt.

Due to Chu Tiange’s importance in this world, Qiu Wuji needed to be extremely cautious in her approach. She couldn’t handle the situation as directly as she did with Xie Jiuxiao. Even if Xie Jiuxiao died, she could find a way to patch things up. However, Chu Tiange was different. So, Chu Ge decided to hide and observe instead, avoiding direct face-to-face contact with Chu Tiange to prevent creating a sense of “the most familiar stranger” between them.

Qiu Wuji’s role was to probe and observe, trying to discern Chu Tiange’s thoughts.

For now, things seemed to be going well?

Just like Xie Jiuxiao and Abbot Great Compassion, even if there were changes, they were based on their character logic, and it was unlikely for them to completely break away from their character settings…. At least, it shouldn’t be possible with Chu Tiange’s current cultivation, which hadn’t reached the Crossing Tribulation stage.

After pondering for a long time, Qiu Wuji finally said, “We’ll discuss the matter of appointing you as Young Master later. Since you’ve returned from overseas, is there anything special you’d like to share with the sect?”

Chu Tiange nodded and said directly, “Yes. Although overseas may look like the Middle Ages… oh, I mean, it may look like a system entirely different from ours with numerous feudal states, it’s actually the same origin, the same people, not Caucasians… um, in short, they are all descendants of China… or rather, they resemble the people of Divine Continent… um… but they also have underground cities…”

Chu Tiange, who had been answering smoothly, suddenly started to stutter in his speech. It was clear that he didn’t know how to explain his experiences using the terminology of this world.

Qiu Wuji glanced at him and suddenly found it a bit amusing. She knew what he wanted to say despite the stuttering. It’s not because she knows the plot, but she knows what metaphors he was struggling to use…

After hesitating for a long time, Chu Tiange decided not to explain further and said, “Oh, those things aren’t important. Anyway, over there, they’ve retained many species mentioned in our ancient texts, like the Nine-Headed Serpent, which we rarely see here. I suspect that some ancient events might have led to this change. And their leaders are also pursuing the path of the Heavenly Dao and have a commonly recognized…”

Qiu Wuji squinted her eyes and asked, “Commonly recognized what?”

“They believe that there’s a giant who chases the sun, but it’s blocked by the sea… Hmm, he can’t finish drinking.” Chu Tiange continued, “This is a condensed representation of their pursuit of the Heavenly Dao. They believe that due to the division of the world, the Heavenly Dao is not complete, which is the main reason why no one has ascended for thousands of years. So, when they discovered that I didn’t seem like a ‘local,’ it was as if they found a clue to completing the Heavenly Dao. I almost got dissected, and I had to run for my life as soon as I got there.”

Qiu Wuji asked, “….So, your return could potentially lead the people from beyond to come here?”

Chu Tiange nodded, “Well, when I returned, I was sure to avoid detection by everyone and returned secretly. But I can’t guarantee if any clues were left behind, like if they also discovered the hidden island in the sea… I think it’s possible.” Chu Tiange said somewhat apologetically, “If my return brings calamity to the Divine Continent, it would be my fault, and I will do everything in my power to prevent it.”

Qiu Wuji was thinking to herself; It’s not your fault. Your father arranged the plot this way, and the protagonist has to traverse the entire world. It’s perfectly normal.

She didn’t know the full outline of the story, but she could tell from the conversation that this was the complete beginning and end of Chu Ge’s plot. The previous part could be called “The Heavenly Pillar is Broken,” resulting in the separation of heaven and earth and the inability to ascend. When the divided continents were reunited, the bridge between heaven and earth connected both worlds, leading to a series of ascensions and transitioning to the Heavenly Realm plot. The mention of searching for the White Tiger’s fang was just a minor plot point to connect the two worlds.

This passage may also contain Chu Ge’s hidden political allegory, such as references to the same origin, and the merging of the two sides. But Qiu Wuji decided not to overanalyze it, as Chu Ge was paranoid about readers guessing too much, even to the point of secretly deleting any speculations…

In any case, this volume would focus on the last chapter of the mortal realm and communication with the other side. As for the form of communication, only future would decide.

If there are people from the other side who have secretly infiltrated at this point, they are likely to gather intelligence on the situation in the Divine Continent. The most probable action would be to contact the forces of the demonic path that have gone into hiding due to the righteous path’s suppression and to unite in overthrowing the righteous path, especially the current uncrowned emperor — Qiu Wuji.

That’s right, Chu Ge previously arranged for Yan Qianli to recover at a specific time, signaling the arrival of people from the other side. Afterward, Yan Qianli, who was a defeated dog, established connections, and the long-hidden Fire Prison Sect returned to the martial world, causing a new storm in the Divine Continent.

Yes, Chu Ge mentioned before that he hadn’t decided whether to make Yan Qianli die heroically in the final battle or not at this point.

But now, Qianqian has become a loyal little flame…

Qiu Wuji felt like scratching her head. She hadn’t seen the later outlines and didn’t know how Chu Ge had arranged it. Did he want Qianqian to play the role of a spy again? Wasn’t it boring to have a spy all the time?

Seeing Qiu Wuji furrowing her brows and lost in thought, Chu Tiange, thinking that she was troubled by the matter, felt even more embarrassed. “I caused this matter. How about I go back overseas again?”

“What use is it for you to go back? They’re not looking for you; they’re looking for the completeness of the Heavenly Dao.” Qiu Wuji said calmly, “This is your sect, and we all share the responsibility. Don’t always think about solving things on your own. It’s good that you’ve explained it clearly to me. They want to mend the Heavenly Dao and ascend, don’t I want that too?”

Chu Tiange said, “If there’s anything the Sect Master needs me to do, please instruct me.”

Qiu Wuji smiled slightly, “There is something. You can go on a diplomatic mission for me. Deliver a message to the Yunxiao City. Yunxiao City overlooks the world, and if there are any changes in the world, they should pay more attention.”

Chu Tiange bowed and said, “Yes.”

“Well, when you go to Yunxiao City, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Chat more with Xie Yun’er. You used to be quite close, right?”

Chu Tiange hurriedly replied, “We were just ordinary friends…”

Qiu Wuji didn’t explain further and took out a jade slip, infused it with information, and handed it to Chu Tiange. “Go on, this is as far as I can assist you.”

Chu Tiange, “?”

Qiu Wuji glanced at him and saw that he seemed genuinely confused, not realizing that his marital fate had been severed. So she casually asked, “By the way, you haven’t met my disciple yet. Would you be interested in meeting him?”

Chu Tiange was taken aback, pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito’s, as if he was speaking to himself, “Better not to.”

He then saluted and took his leave, saying, “It’s not the right time. I’ll see this senior another time. I’m off on my diplomatic mission.”

Qiu Wuji nodded, “Go ahead.”

It wasn’t until Chu Tiange had left for quite some time that Chu Ge slowly emerged from the inner room.

Qiu Wuji didn’t even turn her head and asked, “How was it?”

Chu Ge pondered for a moment and shook his head, “I can’t tell.”

“I actually think he sensed your presence and the connection between you two. But he doesn’t have a clear concept of altering his own destiny. However, he does seem to have a desire to seek ‘truth,’ based on his sharp instincts, knowing that something is amiss.”

Chu Ge stared in the direction Chu Tiange had left, lost in thought, and said softly, “Maybe.”

“So, better not to meet… He found out too early.” Qiu Wuji finally turned to look at Chu Ge and said playfully, “Hey, if you created the most formidable enemy for yourself like this, how would you feel? Would you think you’re a fool?”

Looking at Qiu Wuji who was somewhat cheeky, Chu Ge couldn’t help but smile, “You don’t need to tease me. I’m not upset.”

“Hmm?”

“So far, his performance has been quite satisfactory to me. I’ll wait for him,” Chu Ge said slowly. “I’ll wait for him to have the courage to come and ask me personally, just like when you held a sword to my neck back then.”
