Ling Xiao's words revealed a calm and unhurried attitude, as if everything was under control.
"No, I still can't abandon you. If I abandon you, my son will have to sever the father-son relationship with me."
Long Yingtian shook his head, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his tone. His eyes revealed deep concern for Ling Xiao, as if at this moment, all reason and weighing had been overwhelmed by this deep friendship. .
When Ling Xiao saw this, he couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart, but at the same time he also knew that the situation at this moment did not allow for any hesitation.
"My good Lord, why don't you understand? If you don't go back, Luanmo City will definitely be in chaos.
Not only are powerful enemies waiting around there, looking at it with eager eyes, but the interior is also unstable, and various forces are ready to move. Aren't you afraid that someone will take the opportunity to rebel and turn the entire Luanmo City upside down?"
There was a bit of urgency and worry in Ling Xiao's words. He knew the importance of Long Yingtian to Luan Mo City, and he also understood how critical the situation was at this moment.
When Long Yingtian heard this, his expression changed slightly. He instantly thought of the top experts led by Empress Gong Qianfeng.
Those people may be able to restrain themselves a little when he is around and maintain a certain degree of awe and loyalty to him, but once he is gone and lose this intimidation, they will really be unable to restrain their inner ambitions and desires and take the opportunity to launch a rebellion. Drag the entire Luanmo City into endless war and chaos.
Thinking of this, Long Yingtian frowned, and a trace of determination and determination flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that as the governor of Luanmo City, he shouldered the important task of protecting this land and people, and he could not put it aside because of personal emotions. Regardless of the overall situation.
However, having to abandon Ling Xiao made his heart feel like a knife and it was difficult to make a choice. This contradiction and struggle filled his heart with pain and helplessness.
"But you..." Long Yingtian's voice was filled with deep worry, and his eyes were locked on Ling Xiao, as if he wanted to imprint the other person's figure deeply in his heart.
He knew that if he chose to leave at this moment, Ling Xiao would probably die.
This worry stems not only from his deep friendship with Ling Xiao, but also because he knows that once Ling Xiao has a shortcoming, he will fall into deep self-blame and be unable to give a reasonable answer to his son. explanation.
This contradiction and struggle made his heart feel as painful as being torn apart.
Just when Long Yingtian was in a dilemma, the token at his waist suddenly made a crisp sound, interrupting his thoughts.
He frowned, reached out and took out the token from his waist, and put it to his ear. In an instant, Cheng Shifei's slightly anxious voice came clearly into his ears.
"Fu Zun, this is a conspiracy. The Soul Clan has already attacked. The stronghold cannot hold it back and has retreated to Luan Mo City. Wang Zhenshou and Zhao Heng are back, but..."
Cheng Shifei's voice sounded a little hesitant at this moment, and what was revealed in that hesitation was his deep worry about the news he was going to say next.
Long Yingtian's face instantly became solemn, and he asked coldly: "But what? Cheng Shifei, tell me quickly, don't hide it."
There was unquestionable majesty in his voice, and it was obvious that he had prepared for the worst for what Cheng Shifei was going to say next.
"Because there were spies mixed into the stronghold, when the Soul Clan launched an attack, the stronghold was caught off guard and many people were killed or injured...
Fortunately, the Young Master appeared in time. With his own efforts and the cooperation of Wang Zhenshou and Zhao Heng who had just returned, he was able to ensure that most of the people retreated to Luanmo City safely..."
There was an unconcealable sadness and heaviness in Cheng Shifei's voice. Every word seemed to carry a heavy weight, making it difficult to calm down after hearing it.
He paused slightly, adding a bit of worry in his tone: "This time the enemy's offensive was very fierce, and almost all the strong soul clan members came out. Their goal was obviously not only the stronghold, but the entire Luanmo City. The situation.
The crisis is urgent and there is no time to delay.”
Long Yingtian's face became extremely solemn at this moment, and his eyes flashed with determination and determination. He knew very well that as the governor of Luanmo City, he must shoulder this responsibility and protect this city.
Let it fall into enemy hands.
"Hold on, I'll be right back!" Long Yingtian's voice was filled with undoubted majesty and power, as if at this moment, he had put all personal emotions and safety behind, leaving only the concern for Luan Mo City.
Endless loyalty and protection.
Immediately, he stopped talking to Cheng Shifei and turned his gaze to Ling Xiao, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, as if he was making some kind of difficult decision. "Boy, I'm sorry. Between you and countless warriors in Ranmo City, I chose them. If you want to blame, blame me. Don't complain.
Long Chen."
There was a hint of helplessness and guilt in Long Yingtian's voice, but more of it was determination and persistence towards Luanmo City.
He knew that this decision might make Ling Xiao feel dissatisfied and even resentful, but he knew better that as the Palace Master, he had to make the decision that was most beneficial to Luan Mo City, even if this decision would make him bear a heavy burden.
psychological burden.
"Your Excellency, I am not that ignorant." Ling Xiao's voice contained a hint of firmness and understanding, and his eyes were clear, without the slightest resentment.
"I can't thank you enough for coming to save me. At this critical moment, save most people first. This is the more important choice."
His tone was full of understanding and respect for Long Yingtian, without the slightest moral kidnapping, but purely expressing his position and attitude.
Deep down in Ling Xiao's heart, he had no complaints about Long Yingtian's choice.
He knew that at such a critical moment, as the governor of Luanmo City, Long Yingtian needed to take on greater responsibilities and make wiser choices.
Even if Ling Xiao died here today, he would not have the slightest resentment towards Long Yingtian, because this was his own choice and he was willing to bear the consequences.
When Long Yingtian heard this, a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at Ling Xiao with eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision, and then slowly said: "Sorry! I can't let you stay here alone. But I also have to protect Ranmo City, so..."
There was a hint of helplessness and determination in his words, then he looked up at the green robe and continued: "You let me out, I don't care about his affairs."
Hearing this, the green-robed man showed a relaxed look on his face. He knew Long Yingtian's strength well. If Long Yingtian were here, even if he had the bloodthirsty formation of five ghosts, he would not be completely sure of winning.
After all, as the palace lord of Luanmo City, Long Yingtian's strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
