Super Soldier King and Cute CEO-Chapter 1689 - 1688: Solace

What is being suppressed under the Heavenly Stone Stele, and why is it so violent?

If you look closely at the old man, you will find that he is very ancient within the Cosmic Star Sky University, a relic from a distant past. Otherwise, how could he be the first to sense any disturbances within the university?

The elderly man is once again restless; that which lies beneath the Heavenly Stone Stele is a secret of the Cosmic Star Sky University, and nothing must go wrong!

Then the old man quietly emerged, seemingly with his divine sense expanded.

Suspended in the air above the Heavenly Stone Stele, the white-haired old man stared intently at it, frowning slightly. He didn’t notice anything unusual, so why did the sealed entity suddenly stir?

Meanwhile, Tang Zhong had already followed Qin Yu far away, but he couldn’t help looking back toward the direction of the Heavenly Stone Stele. That roar was too vivid. What exactly is going on?

Qin Yu noticed the change in Tang Zhong’s expression and thought it was due to seeing the grandness of the Cosmic Star Sky University. He immediately said, "Brother Tang, there’s no need to feel constrained. Our Cosmic Star Sky University prides itself on fairness and justice!"

"Hmm!" Tang Zhong responded, thinking that the sound must have been a hallucination. He decided not to dwell on it further.

"Ahead is the Cherry Blossom Forest, the most beautiful place in our Cosmic Star Sky University; I’ll take you there!" Qin Yu said.

Cherry blossoms? Are they the same as on Earth? They indeed sound beautiful!

Sure enough, a grove lay ahead!

The cherry blossom colors were the same as those on Earth, but the tree trunks left something to be desired. Seeing a familiar scene at the Cosmic Star Sky University, Tang Zhong felt very satisfied.

"This Cherry Blossom Forest is actually a favorite spot for couples. The university approves of students finding partners and even promotes dual cultivation. Love can enhance both individuals’ cultivation levels. I almost found a partner myself back then, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out!" Qin Yu said with a smile.

Tang Zhong kept gazing around. The falling cherry blossoms were incredibly beautiful, and the couples passing by seemed harmonious!

One was taking a picture of the other, appearing very harmonious!

Tang Zhong thought that Jiang Weiwei must have visited this Cherry Blossom Forest once! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He closed his eyes, feeling the scene Weiwei once walked through. It was as if he could smell her passing scent, very clear!

"Right, ahead is the Secret Tree. Let me show you!" Qin Yu said excitedly.

Tang Zhong nodded.

What kind of tree is the Secret Tree?

Tang Zhong couldn’t quite imagine it, but it must be something impressive.

Sure enough, a robust tree appeared. Its trunk was completely withered, yet it still stood strong. On the tree were many strips of white cloth, glowing softly.

Generally, a withered tree would fade away, but this one was remarkable!

"How long has this tree been here?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Take a guess!" Qin Yu replied mysteriously.

"A hundred years!" Tang Zhong guessed.

"Less. I don’t know the exact number of years, but it’s been here for a long time, ancient even. Because it’s so old, it’s called the Secret Tree. It lives on while people pass away, so many are willing to leave their secrets here," Qin Yu explained.

Secrets!

Tang Zhong knew that those white strips on the tree were likely secrets left by people!

"I’ve been here before, with Senior Sister Weiwei!" Qin Yu mentioned casually.

Senior Sister Weiwei.

Tang Zhong’s body trembled with emotion. He steadied his voice and asked, "Did you leave a secret too?"

"Yes," Qin Yu said.

"Did everyone who came here leave something?" Tang Zhong asked.

He couldn’t directly ask if Weiwei had left something, after all Qin Yu didn’t know about Tang Zhong’s relationship with her!

"Yes," Qin Yu said. "Everyone who leaves a secret here wears a different expression. When I left mine, it was with regret, but I won’t tell you why; that’s my secret!"

"Oh!" Tang Zhong was more curious about how Weiwei had been: "What about Senior Sister Weiwei?"

"Do you know her?" Qin Yu became excited when speaking of Jiang Weiwei, as if in admiration: "My Senior Sister Jiang Weiwei is very famous at the Cosmic Star Sky University, a genius. You know, I thought she was the perfect woman, but that day, when she came under the Secret Tree, she seemed very sad, thinking about something I couldn’t fathom. I think there was bitterness in her heart as well!"

Tang Zhong was moved upon hearing this. He could imagine Weiwei under the Secret Tree—did she cry?

Looking down at the ground, he felt immense pressure.

"Did she leave something on the Secret Tree in the end?" Tang Zhong inquired.

Qin Yu mentioned Jiang Weiwei just casually, and when Tang Zhong asked about her, Qin Yu didn’t think much of it; he just assumed Tang Zhong was curious. To be honest, any man who hears about Senior Sister Weiwei would be curious, just like Tang Zhong now!

"What do you think?" Qin Yu asked.

"Probably not," Tang Zhong said.

Qin Yu looked at Tang Zhong in surprise: "Why do you think that?"

"Just a guess," Tang Zhong replied.

He felt he already knew the answer. He understood Weiwei; she wasn’t the type to pin her hopes on something like that!

As expected, Qin Yu said, "You guessed right. Senior Sister Weiwei indeed didn’t leave any secrets on the Secret Tree. Do you know why?"

Tang Zhong shook his head, pretending ignorance.

"Senior Sister Weiwei said something that really shocked me: some secrets are difficult to speak of, some secrets may never come true, and some secrets are not meant to be discovered by others. The Secret Tree exists as a vessel for these, but what use is it? Hopes should be pinned on those who can bring them to fruition!" Qin Yu concluded. "What do you think, isn’t it true?"

"Yes, very true," Tang Zhong said.

He could feel Jiang Weiwei’s heart at that moment!

Only those with nowhere else to turn pin their secrets on this tree.

And those with hope would never do so!

Weiwei’s hope was him!

Qin Yu didn’t notice Tang Zhong’s oddities and asked, "Do you have a strong interest in my Senior Sister Weiwei, Brother Tang?"

As he said this, he sighed: "Even if you’re interested, it’s no use. In three years, Senior Sister Weiwei will have to marry someone she doesn’t wish to."

Hearing this, Tang Zhong clenched his fists. He was Weiwei’s hope, and he mustn’t let her down.
