People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1001 Cecilia's Balloon

Cecilia sat down to rest on the edge of the park's fountain, looking up at the bright blue sky.

As she looked, her attention was drawn to the colorful balloons that flashed by the edge of her vision, and she watched curiously as a vendor carrying a bunch of balloons walked by.

After taking a few glances, she retracted her gaze and continued to look at the clear sky.

The sunshine in Rutland seemed always warm, but it was a warmth that Cecilia seldom experienced.

In the past, in order to avoid being seen by others, she had to hide in the house all day long. Even when she went out to reunite with her father, she had to cover herself with a thick cloak, go out at night, and come back at night.

Just as Cecilia squinted her eyes comfortably and enjoyed the sunbath, she saw the colorful balloons coming and going in her blurry vision.

Cecilia opened her eyes in confusion and found that the balloons were still the same balloons, but the person holding them had turned into that weird uncle whose smile was brighter than the sun in the sky.

"Little Cecilia, do you like it?" Little Justin asked with a smile, "Which one do you want?"

"Um...thank you uncle, I want the blue one!" Cecilia said crisply.

Little Justin was pleasantly surprised: "Your vision is exactly the same as yours, we are really destined to meet. In that case, all these balloons are yours!"

As he said this, he stuffed the strings of all the balloons into Cecilia's hands.

Holding the balloons, Cecilia opened her mouth slightly and felt a clear upward force in her hands.

These toys that she had once longed for were now in her hands in numbers she could not believe, as if they were going to take her to the blue sky that she had longed for.

Cecilia was distracted and failed to hold on tightly. A balloon escaped from her palm and flew into the sky.

"ah!"

"Look at me!"

Little Justin jumped up decisively, caught the escaped balloon, and returned it to Cecilia.

He assured with a bit of pride:

"Don't worry, little Cecilia. I'm here. Nothing will happen. If you ask for anything, I'll pluck the sun from the sky for you!"

"Really?!" Cecilia's eyes widened, her light blue eyes full of admiration, "But I don't want the sun."

"Then what do you want?"

"...I want my uncle to tell me why you are trying so hard to please me?"

"..."

When Justin heard Cecilia's question, his expression froze.

He subconsciously glanced at Qi Lin, who was standing beside him and not caring about anything, wondering if this sentence was from Qi Lin's instruction.

But he soon realized that Qi Lin really didn't care about these things. The question just now was Cecilia's own thought.

"Why does little Cecilia ask that?" Little Justin confirmed.

“It’s unreal.”

Cecilia lowered her eyes slightly, holding the ropes of the balloons with both hands, fearing that they would escape again: "I never thought that I could play anywhere outside like today, and I also found that many people around me were secretly observing me.

When they met my gaze, there was no alertness or disgust, only friendly smiles. They all came to play with me just like you, my uncle."

Little Justin did not deny it: "Yes, little Cecilia, don't doubt it, you are the darling of the whole city now."

Cecilia lowered her head and gently twisted the string of the balloon with her fingers.

She likes these balloons and she likes her current life.

If possible, she didn't want this beautiful and somewhat fake life to suddenly fly away like a balloon.

but……

"Big Dog..."

Cecilia's mosquito-like whisper reached little Justin's ears.

"What?" Little Justin was a little uncertain, "Do you want a pet?"

Cecilia shook her head: "I mean Qi Yan."

"Do you want to meet Qi Yan? No problem!"

There was some excitement in Justin's tone.

"No, I mean, you treat me well because of Qi Yan." Cecilia's voice returned to calm, "You are different from Qi Yan. He treats me well just to be nice to me, but you all have all kinds of desires...

I know that it's wrong of me to be dissatisfied even though I've gained benefits, but I don't want Qi Yan to be implicated because of me.

Uncle Justin, please leave now. Cecilia will remember everything you did for her today, but please don't hurt Qi Yan."

Little Justin: “…………………………”

His silence was deafening.

No, sister!

How many lives does little Justin have? How dare he hurt Qi Yan?

After a moment of silence, little Justin suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes and chuckled with mixed feelings.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia, I'm so sorry, you're a good child."

He gave a serious compliment and turned to look at Qi Lin who was silently admiring the park scenery.

Noticing Justin's gaze, Qi Lin retracted her gaze and looked at Justin.

"Ms. Qilin, thank you for tolerating me for so long." Little Justin said sincerely, "To be honest, my heart was pierced by this child just now. As a businessman, I only care about profit, but now I suddenly feel..."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Qi Lin directly interrupted Justin's skill swing.

Little Justin: "...I have been asked by someone to invite you two to visit the Revelation Stone Tower in the Holy City?"

Qi Lin looked towards the center of the holy city, where a towering bell tower stood side by side with the cathedral.

Without Qi Lin asking, Little Justin took the initiative to speak:

“This was a deal between me and a messenger from all nations named Oren. He took the initiative to meet Qi Yan on the other side and sacrificed himself to dispel the suspicion of the Lateran officials, making people think that he had completely failed.

The content of my deal with him is to let Cecilia go to the Tower of Revelation."

After saying this, as if afraid of causing any misunderstanding, Little Justin quickly added:

"Qi Yan mentioned this matter when he appeared in the cathedral, otherwise I would never dare to act on my own."

Little Justin was nervous when he spoke, but he also felt somewhat confident.

He felt that with Qi Yan's amazing wisdom, every word he said was not spoken casually, and there must be a deep meaning behind it.

Qi Yan never plays chess, he is the one who controls the chess players.

Qi Yan never lies, he is the one who plans the world.

Looking at the history of Qi Yan in Terra, every time Qi Yan personally appeared, he would never do useless work, and every seemingly absurd action would eventually be analyzed as a terrifying strategy.

And this time, little Justin believed that he had caught the traces that Qi Yan had intentionally left behind.

He will take the initiative and cultivate himself into a part of Qi Yan's plan before others see through this opportunity!

Little Justin even felt a little proud.

Although he is not as smart as a leg hair of Qi Yan, he is still ten thousand times smarter than this mob!

He is the practitioner of Qi Yan's will!

Qi Lin had a strange look on his face, and kept looking at the guy in front of him who was trying hard to suppress his inexplicable pride.

Just as little Justin was suppressing his agitated emotions and preparing to express his views and let Qi Yan's sister understand his intelligence and talent, Qi Lin had already lost interest and looked away.

"do you want to go?"

Qi Lin asked Cecilia.

Cecilia was a little curious, but more hesitant:

"What's on that tower?"

"do not know."

"Will it have any impact on Qi Yan?"

"It's not worthy yet."

"Then...I want to go!"

Qi Lin reached out her hand to Cecilia, who jumped down from the edge of the fountain and placed her little hand in Qi Lin's palm.

The two girls, one big and one small, held hands and walked towards the Revelation Stone Tower with confidence.
