On the seventh day after arriving in Linze Town, in the evening, Tianlan came back from outside. As soon as he stepped into the inn, he saw a familiar figure. He hesitated slightly and immediately stopped. The man's back was turned to him and he was talking to the shop assistant. The conversation was very pleasant. At first glance, it sounded like a rough and unrestrained river, and his voice was unrestrained, but Tianlan could clearly feel the nobility and dignity in him. This kind of nobility cannot be faked, it comes from the bottom of his heart. His kind of pride, coupled with his golden brocade uniform, makes him even more domineering.
This person had met him once in Lingxiao City. At that time, he was being chased by Li Wuqing, the elder of the Seven Stars of the Warlock Guild. Fortunately, this man passed by to rescue him. He remembered that this man was called Ling Jiutian, and he had a close relationship with Li Wuqing. He didn't know the cause and effect. He took advantage of the chaos and left in a hurry. He didn't expect to meet again here by chance.
Now that they have met, there is absolutely no reason to avoid seeing him, and Tianlan is staying in this inn now. If Ling Jiutian plans to stay here, he will inevitably meet him, so he simply goes up and greets him with a few words.
He slowly stepped forward, bowed as a junior, and said, "Senior Ling, we haven't seen each other for several months, how are you doing these days?"
Ling Jiutian turned around when he heard the words. He didn't expect that someone would recognize him in such a remote and remote place. He looked carefully at the young man in front of him. He seemed familiar, but after all, in the past few months, he had only glanced at it briefly and didn't even look at it. How can I remember his face clearly?
Ling Jiutian's eyes showed deep doubts and confusion, and he said: "I'm sorry, who are you?"
Tian Lan smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that noble people often forget things, and it is normal not to remember. He himself was deeply impressed because it was rare to meet two strong men of seven stars who were also involved. In addition, Ling Jiutian was still a powerful person. This was one of the reasons why he paid close attention to the wind warlock. If it were Ling Jiutian, he probably wouldn't remember this little wind warlock.
At this time, Ye Yi happened to come out of the room, saw Tian Lan at a glance, and said hello: "Hi, what have you been busy with these days... Wow," he quickly noticed Ling Jiutian beside him, pointed at him and was dumbfounded, " You you you you,,”
After the inn had been bustling before, few people came here during this period. There were only a few people in the lobby. Ling Jiutian's clothes were so conspicuous that it was difficult not to notice them. Although they met in a hurry at first, they left a deep impression. Ye Yi also I once mistook this person for a nine-star powerhouse, so I will certainly remember that.
Ling Jiutian raised his eyebrows, feeling a little carried away. Of course, he took Tianlan's politeness and Ye Yi's surprise as admiration for himself. Even in a little-known small ravine, so many people recognize him. Could it be that I, Ling Jiutian? His name has become popular throughout the continent, but what Ye Yi said next made him dumbfounded.
"Uncle, what are you doing here in the remote countryside when you are well fed and have nothing to do?"
Seeing Ling Jiutian's face darken, Tian Lan quietly touched Ye Yi with his elbow, intending to tell him to pay attention to his words, but the latter didn't realize it, and instead looked at Tian Lan strangely. Under normal circumstances, maybe Ye Yi He's not that ignorant of words and emotions, but because his beloved sword was destroyed recently, he has trouble calming down. Sometimes it's difficult for him to even enter concentration, let alone how to detect words and emotions.
Tianlan had no choice but to change the topic: "Senior Ling, we met in Lingxiao City a few months ago. Senior Li Wuqingli, the elder of the Warlock Guild, was also present..."
"By the way," Ling Jiutian patted his head, "I remembered that you two were the little guys who were bullied by the old basilisk at that time."
Ye Yi said dissatisfied: "Tianlan, you are too well-mannered. That weird old man driving a python beat and killed us. It would be a good thing not to scold him, but you still call him senior,"
Tianlan smiled and said: "I do have a dark aura on my body. Senior Li is responsible for this. What's wrong with me?"
"Humph, you actually helped him speak, really..." He glanced at Tianlan's hands, which were previously covered by long sleeves, "Hey, what's wrong with your hands?"
I haven't run into him much in the past few days. Only then did I realize that Tianlan's hands were wrapped with a thick layer of bandages, and his fingers were wrapped tightly. It seemed that the palms were injured, and because of his clothes and The bandages were all white, so I didn't notice them for a while.
"It's okay," Tian Lan said lightly, moving his arms slightly so that Ye Yi couldn't see his hands.
"Well, let me take a look." The more he concealed it, the more suspicious he became. Ye Yi stared at his right hand and reached out to grab his palm. At such a close distance, most people would definitely not have time to react, but how could Tian Lan As a human being, he would sense Ye Yi's slightest movement and subconsciously ducked back, keeping two steps away from him.
Ye Yi was very depressed. He knew that he would definitely not be able to match Tian Lan in speed, so he had to put aside the matter for the time being and turned to Ling Jiutian and said, "Uncle, you haven't said what you are doing here yet."
Ling Jiutian said: "You have been here for a few days, have you seen the old basilisk?"
Ye Yi said angrily: "It's obviously me..." He wanted to say: It's obviously me who is asking you, and you just don't answer. Why are you asking about us instead?
With Ye Yi's personality, Tianlan could naturally guess what he was going to say, and also knew that what he was going to say would definitely not satisfy Ling Jiutian, so he quickly said: "We have been in this town for seven days, and we haven't met Li yet. senior,"
Ling Jiutian nodded and said: "So, the old basilisk hasn't arrived yet. Very good. We must intercept him this time and see where he runs."
Ye Yi scratched his head and said: "What grudge do you have against the strange old man? Did he kill your father or robbed your wife?"
"No, he and I had no enmity in the past and have no enmity in the recent past..." As he was talking, a delicate female voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Uncle Ling~~~! I miss you so much,"
Ling Jiutian was stunned for a moment, then turned around with a smile on his face, just in time to catch the petite girl flying towards him, and said with a loving smile: "Xiao Tao'er, why are you here?"
Ye Yi said in surprise: "Tao girl, do you recognize this uncle?"
Tianlan recalled that Ling Jiutian mentioned Old Man Tianji when he was in Lingxiao City, and Tao'er was the granddaughter of Old Man Tianji, so it was not surprising that they knew each other.
Tao'er relied on Ling Jiutian. She made a face at Ye Yi first, and then said: "I'm going out to play with the idiots. I've been following grandpa for so long, and I'm bored to death."
"You girl," Ling Jiutian was angry and amused at the same time, "Your grandfather is doing everything for your own good, and his whole heart is devoted to you. Xiao Tao'er, tell me honestly, did you sneak out?"
"That's not true," Tao'er jumped off him, stuck out her tongue at him, and said, "I told grandpa properly," she added in her heart at the same time: It's just that grandpa didn't agree.
"Oh, that's really rare," Ling Jiutian obviously had some doubts about this statement. Ever since he met the old man Tianji, this little Tao'er had never let her grandfather worry once, whether it was as small as eating King's meal or as big as When it came to breaking into the palace privately, her grandfather had never been troubled, but this time might be an exception.
Tao'er coquettishly tugged on Ling Jiutian's sleeves, her big eyes were watery and charming, and people couldn't help but go up and kiss her. She shook her delicate body, and her long pink hair was draped on her shoulders, like floating flowers. Looking at the silk and satin, Ling Jiutian screamed in his heart, every time this girl showed such a cute expression, it meant that a disaster was about to happen.
Sure enough, Tao'er said sweetly: "Uncle Ling, you haven't come to see Tao'er for so long. Tao'er misses you so much. So what fun things did you bring this time?"
Ling Jiutian's face turned green when he heard this. He seemed to remember some bad past. He felt as if he was being targeted by a little devil. He subconsciously shrank his shoulders and wanted to escape from here, but Tao'er held on tightly. How could he let him run away?
"Little Tao'er, little ancestor, please forgive me if you show mercy this time," Ling Jiutian cried sadly. Little Tao'er is very cute. He likes this child very much and loves her like his own junior. But this little devil has It was really... a chilling time.
"I don't care. Uncle Ling hasn't played with me for one hundred and thirty-nine days. Doesn't Uncle Ling like me anymore?" As she said this, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks. Not to mention Ling Jiutian, who was standing aside The inn clerk couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to take good care of this beautiful girl. I have to say that Tao'er's coquettish offensive was too strong. She would be an instant kill against Ling Jiutian.
Ling Jiutian suddenly raised his head and said: "Little Tao'er, you see, we have met thirty-one times in total. The first time you asked me for the North Sea delicacy snow melon that I have treasured for many years, the second time The first time was when my father robbed me of the century-old Immortal Drunken Wine that I wouldn’t even give him. The third time was when I prepared to offer the soft silkworm armor to His Majesty. The fourth time was... until the thirty-first time, I had already put all the clothes on my body. I gave you the last bit of valuable stuff, just forget it this time..."
Ye Yi was dumbfounded. Although he had never heard of these things, it was not difficult to guess why they were precious. Things that even a seven-star warlock who was either rich or noble regarded as treasures must be valuable, even priceless treasures. This girl actually has the ability to deceive anyone without being fooled. I have to say that this method... is worth learning.
Tao'er said: "No, no, last time is the last time, this time is this time, I don't obey you, Uncle Ling, you are getting more and more annoying," she said, rubbing her eyes and crying.
Ling Jiutian had a headache. Although he knew that it was probably a fake cry, he still couldn't bear it. He stroked her long pink hair and said, "Be good, little Taoer. Except for this, Uncle Ling will promise you everything else."
"Really," Tao'er's eyes lit up, "People know that Uncle Ling is the best,"
"Haha, that's right," Ling Jiutian laughed comfortingly. Although she felt like she was being tricked, it would be fine as long as Little Tao'er didn't pester people for things.
Tao'er crossed her little feet and offered her conditions with a smile: "Uncle Ling, I plan to go to the East China Sea. It is said that there are many terrible sea monsters in the East China Sea. You must not be able to bear to see Tao'er being eaten by sea monsters, right?"
