Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1456: The Legendary

However, in some low-lying areas, there are patches of fish ponds. In fact, it’s reasonable to say that people in the South are wealthier than those in the North.

In the Southern winters, you can do anything, you can plant vegetables, raise fish, naturally, there are many more opportunities for livelihood than in the North. Life is obviously much better, plus with some coastal development cities, now with the reform and opening up, it’s no wonder the South got rich first. It’s not because they are particularly smart or capable, but because they have the advantage of favorable geography and a warm climate throughout the year.

However, in the Southern winters, especially in this season, there are many drizzly days.

Originally, there was a trace of sunlight rising from the eastern forest in the morning, but after Gu Qiaoqiao and the others had been on the road for more than an hour, the entire sky was grey. Shortly after, it started to rain softly, not a heavy rain, just a light drizzle. But as soon as it started raining, the sky looked much more gloomy.

The visibility on both sides of the road also decreased a bit, so Qin Yize slowed down the car.

The two of them chatted softly in the car, with Qin Yize telling Gu Qiaoqiao some stories from his childhood, and Gu Qiaoqiao listening with keen interest.

While listening, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly widened her eyes and abruptly looked around. At this moment, for some unknown reason, the vehicles in front and behind suddenly disappeared. Then Gu Qiaoqiao saw that orange tree with three oranges hanging on it appearing in front of her again.

This can’t be right, they had clearly passed this place just now, why does it feel like they’ve circled back?

The corner of Qin Yize’s eye naturally caught Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression accurately, Qin Yize looked ahead and suddenly frowned, then braked and slowly parked the car by the roadside.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize, "Ah Ze, did you also notice something’s not right?"

Qin Yize didn’t look at the orange tree, but at the bamboo forest on the left. He then slightly closed his eyes, opened them quickly after a few seconds, and locked his sharp gaze on the scenery ahead. He tapped on the steering wheel, "Qiaoqiao, we’ve actually circled back to this place."

Although this area isn’t marked on the map, Qin Yize outlined it accurately, then realized they had indeed circled back.

This isn’t right, it’s daytime, morning even. Even if the sky is gloomy, they wouldn’t have mistaken the road, and they were clearly driving straight ahead.

Qin Yize said to the Gu Qiaoqiao beside him, "Stay in the car, don’t get out, I’m going to check things out."

Unexpectedly, Gu Qiaoqiao disagreed, "Ah Ze, let’s check it out together, something’s off here."

Before Qin Yize could speak, she reached out her hand to draw talismans in the air, drawing two Barrier Talismans to envelop both herself and Qin Yize. Thinking it wasn’t enough, she added two more to Qin Yize. Now, he had three Barrier Talismans on him. Qin Yize smiled slightly, grasped Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, and said in a calm voice, "Qiaoqiao, there’s nothing to fear."

Though he said so, Qin Yize raised his alertness to the highest level. Then, the two of them opened the car doors and got out simultaneously. It was drizzling outside, and the road was newly paved with cement, so the surface was clean, with rainwater slowly flowing into the roadside drainage ditches.

Even though they had Barrier Talismans, the drizzle still fell on their heads. Qin Yize opened the car door and took out an umbrella. After opening it, the two of them stayed under it, but he instinctively shielded Gu Qiaoqiao.

The rain stopped, but mist rose around. This road should lead to Sky Sea City’s downtown area.

According to Gu Qiaoqiao’s estimation, even if those drivers were hurrying for meals, there should be vehicles departing from Sky Sea City heading north. Yet, the road was startlingly empty at the moment.

Gu Qiaoqiao involuntarily grabbed Qin Yize’s arm. Now that the rain had stopped, Qin Yize closed the umbrella, a black long-handled one. Then, after some thought, he reached to his lower back. Seeing his action, Gu Qiaoqiao took the umbrella and worriedly asked, "Ah Ze, what are you doing?"

By this time, Qin Yize had already drawn the gun, weighing it in his hand. He unlocked the safety and said in a steady voice, "Qiaoqiao, you know this gun has been used, right?"

Gu Qiaoqiao understood what Qin Yize meant and nodded, "I know."

Qin Yize’s rank allowed him to carry a gun, and besides, he was out on a mission.

"Qiaoqiao, this situation is a bit like the ghost wall phenomenon in movies. What do you think will happen if I fire a shot?"

The bullets in this gun possess killing intent, naturally capable of breaking through the barrier here. But if by chance the setup isn’t perfect and someone hears the gunshot, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

"Ah Ze, don’t rush to shoot. If there are bystanders here, it would be bad."

Qin Yize nodded and said leisurely, "To see such a sight in one’s lifetime is definitely worth it."

Their conversation, though seemingly strange, was understood by both. This place was likely set up with some formation or barrier by someone from the Mystic Sect.

Both of them simultaneously thought of the so-called Sovereign from the distant island, as normally, that Sect Leader was an exceedingly arrogant person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have raised such a daughter. Moreover, his daughter was executing his orders. Suffering such a loss and being silent for months was hardly possible, maybe waiting for some major move. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

At the same time previously, both had thought of this.

At this moment, Qin Yize looked up at the sky, which was still overcast with no trace of sunlight. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, and it was nine thirty-five in the morning.

This hour was actually the busiest time on this road.

However, everything on the road was blocked. What about above the sky?

With his left hand, Qin Yize hugged Gu Qiaoqiao. Raising his right hand, he pointed the gun skyward, casually yet attractively. He smiled at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, this gun has a silencer, so it won’t cause unnecessary trouble."

"Ah Ze, will this really work?"

"Qiaoqiao, today I’ll show you what it means to take the road less traveled."

As he finished speaking, Qin Yize pulled the trigger without hesitation.

It was indeed a silent gun, producing only some muffled sounds. Yet, Gu Qiaoqiao distinctly felt that the air above her head seemed to slightly tremble.
