Chapter 1613: Chapter 516: Virgo and Gemini

The newcomers were indeed not enemies.

Although Wen Xishu was initially wary, he quickly sensed that the other party bore no ill will; more precisely, "they" harbored no ill intentions.

In Wen Xishu’s line of sight, two figures quickly appeared, a man and a woman.

The woman had long, light golden hair and was wearing a mask that revealed only her eyes and half of her nose, but she gave Wen Xishu a rather familiar and stunning impression.

Her features lacked any "sharpness," naturally giving off the impression of a woman without malice.

Her attire was somewhat simple, a beige dress, and she was even taller than Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu was certain he had seen this woman before, although at that time, he had only seen a silhouette.

He was a little excited; is this the great world of the Three Towers? How is it that everyone he encounters has such a significant presence?

Could it be that his Big Number Tendency hasn’t disappeared? Along the way, he feels that every person and event he encounters is anything but ordinary.

As for the man beside the woman, his style was even more distinguishable.

Because he seemed to come from ancient times, resembling a chivalrous hero, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, full of grandeur, holding a sword that seemed quite ordinary in design, looking plain and unremarkable, yet Wen Xishu had no doubt that this was a renowned sword seasoned by battles.

Such a person was indeed an old acquaintance of Wen Xishu.

"Liu Jianxin! Why is it you!" Wen Xishu, having recognized him, exclaimed in surprise.

Unlike last time at the Desire Tower, this time Liu Jianxin no longer looked confused, and exuded an exceptionally strong aura.

This was the latest timeline in the great world, and by this time, Liu Jianxin had already become a formidable hero in his own right.

Liu Jianxin also exclaimed in surprise:

"Wen Xishu!"

Liu Jianxin eagerly leaped and came directly to Wen Xishu, looking at him with great joy:

"This... is simply a fortuitous encounter. Since we parted last time, I’ve always wondered when I might meet you again. You and I as free spirits in the martial world, isn’t that splendid?"

"I never imagined, really never imagined, that I’d actually meet you here!"

Liu Jianxin’s happiness was evident, but he also noticed that Wen Xishu’s gaze fell upon the woman behind him:

"I’ve had several curious encounters these past two days. First, I encountered a female thief who stole my father’s heirloom, so I came to search for the thief. Unexpectedly, I met the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect."

"It turned out that the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect had taken an interest in the female thief, intending to guide and protect her, considering the dangerous world we live in. So, we teamed up to search together. And then we met you!"

Liu Jianxin had truly immersed himself in the "theme park" provided by the sequence, even his speech carried a certain tone. Wen Xishu wasn’t surprised by this style, for he knew what Liu Jianxin’s sequence was all about.

In Liu Jianxin’s eyes, the entire world was one enormous martial arts paradise.

Therefore, the "Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect" in Liu Jianxin’s eyes was someone Wen Xishu probably could also guess.

The one who spoke first was indeed the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect:

"I didn’t expect to meet you here."

"I had already heard from friends that you came to this world, but I didn’t expect to encounter you so soon."

"Recently, a disaster is about to occur, so Liu Jianxin and I intended to investigate it."

"Now I know, the fate guiding me to search might very well be you. You seem to remember me as well."

The woman looked at Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"Virgo."

Indeed, accompanying Liu Jianxin and surprising Wen Xishu with her appearance was none other than the Virgo from the Twelve Constellations.

Wen Xishu truly hadn’t expected that his journey through the great world of the Three Towers would be so captivating. So far, he had already encountered three constellations.

And it had been less than half a month since he arrived on this land.

Virgo smiled and said:

"Xishu, can I call you that? You can just call me Maiden."

Wen Xishu had thus unlocked yet another constellation’s name:

"This is indeed incredibly coincidental, the two of you running into each other here."

"Let me translate... Liu’s meaning is that a girl stole his belongings, and this girl seemed to resonate with you, enough to create a sense of belonging, so the two of you teamed up to find her?"

Virgo nodded.

Wen Xishu asked puzzledly:

"For a constellation like you, is it worth looking for her personally?"

Virgo sighed:

"I’ve been uneasy lately; Sagittarius has been captured, and a lot is happening in the shadows."

"Although among us, only Pisces can know the future, if it involves our own believers, we can also briefly sense destiny, though not as accurately as Pisces."

"That girl isn’t bad at heart; with a bit of guidance, she won’t become Aquarius’s resonant belonging, but her fate seems to be heading towards something tragic."

"I want to save her, but this might lead me into some calamity as well."

Wen Xishu caught the implication in the words:

"This calamity, is it related to other constellations?"

Liu Jianxin didn’t expect their conversation to be so...straight to the point. It turned out that Brother Wen actually had some acquaintance with the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect.

He was quite impressed; over the years, he had heard that there indeed was a figure like Wen Xishu in the martial world, and moreover, he was the City Lord of the legendary Wind City, the gathering place of fortunes.

Upon reflection, it seemed reasonable that such a person would know the Sect Master of the Holy Maiden Sect.

Virgo answered with slight concern:

"Next, you might go to a place... that place is the territory of Libra."

"I cannot perceive the precise future, but I know that the girl is from the territory of Libra. She stole many things, including, but not limited to, Liu Jianxin’s father’s heirloom, then she fled back to that place."
