The Langgan Pagoda is seven stories high. There was no movement on the first floor. Tian Lan found the steps to go upstairs in the faint light. He climbed up to the second floor carefully. The second floor was almost the same as the first floor, but the space was smaller. Still not there. There is no danger to people.
Tian Lan continued to walk up, until he reached the sixth floor. There was no danger. He didn't even see some small spiders or poisonous scorpions. It didn't look like someone was living there. Is there no one here?
He had doubts in his heart, but he did not dare to relax and walked lightly to the top.
The structure of the top floor is quite special. It is a roof made of expensive colored glass. The light shrouds directly from the roof. It is hazy. It feels like you are in a fairyland. If there are more orbs to decorate it, it will really be like a fairyland on earth. Only Only when we got here did we feel a little bit like Langgan Pagoda.
In the dim light, Tian Lan saw a familiar figure. She was sitting in front of a table writing something. Her expression was focused and peaceful. She looked like the most exquisite sculpture in the world, and also looked like otherworldly fireworks. The fairy. Tianlan couldn't help but get excited when he saw her figure. That was Xiaotang.
"Xiaotang."
Tianlan's steps were very light. Xiaotang didn't notice Tianlan's arrival before he called her out. So she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Tianlan's voice. Then she turned around and stood up from the chair. stand up.
She put down the pen in her hand and walked elegantly towards Tianlan. Her long skirt was fluttering and she was so beautiful.
Tianlan calmed down after a brief excitement and walked towards her. When they were more than one meter apart, they stopped at the same time and stared at each other.
"Xiaotang, is it really you? Why are you here?" Tianlan asked first. He had too many things to say to Xiaotang. At the same time, he also had too many questions to ask her. He knew what was happening in front of him. There is no doubt that the person is his Xiaotang. No one can pretend to be Xiaotang in front of him. So the moment he saw Xiaotang, the vigilance in his heart had completely disappeared.
Since Xiaotang is here, it means that the letter was indeed written by Xiaotang. His previous worries were too unfounded. How could Xiaotang set a trap to harm him? It seems that Xiaotang really had some inconvenience. The reason for this is why I invited him here.
Xiaotang smiled slightly. The smile was very gentle. He said: "Master, fortunately you have returned safely. I have been worried about your safety. You have seen the letter I left in Golden Lion City. Hey, Ye Yi and Tao Where is my son and sister? Why haven't I seen them two? Didn't I come back with you?"
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Xiaotang, Tian Lan was completely relieved and said, "It's a long story. Tao'er... she has already... to save Ye Yi..."
"What." This time it was Xiaotang's turn to be surprised. "Sister Taoer, what's going on?"
Tian Lan told Xiaotang what happened when he and Tao'er went to the ghost world. Then he sighed: "Ye Yi was also deeply shocked by Tao'er's death. He traveled alone. I hope he can think about it soon."
Xiaotang still looked hard to accept. He said: "No. How could this happen? I don't understand, Master. Sister Tao'er wanted to save Ye Yi. Then why did Ye Yi die? Who is it? What will happen after I leave? what happened."
Tianlan said: "That day, you suddenly disappeared. I went to look for you everywhere, but I happened to meet three strong men from Qiye. They are all terrifying strong men at the nine-star level..."
He recounted the events to Xiaotang bit by bit. He didn't hide the fact that Ye Wu was his father. In the end, he kept talking until Ye Wu died tragically, Ye Liu left, and Ye San was killed by him.
Xiaotang listened quietly to his story, showing surprise from time to time. She was especially surprised when she heard that Ye Wu was actually Tian Bo. She murmured to herself: "It turns out he is..."
Tianlan didn't hear clearly and said doubtfully: "Xiaotang, what did you just say?"
Xiaotang quickly shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Then, sir, are you okay?"
Tianlan nodded and said: "I'm okay. You also know that the power of Lingbao can greatly increase my physical strength. The Lingbao in the ghost world is more effective. It's just because of the power of heaven on Huangquan Road that I can't use it for the time being. It’s just mental strength.”
Xiaotang nodded. He seemed a little distracted. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Tian Lan waited for her to explain. But she didn't speak for a long time. She couldn't help but asked proactively: "What about you? During this time... have you encountered any difficulties?"
Xiaotang lowered his head and said with some grievance: "Master, you must blame Xiaotang for leaving without saying goodbye. I'm sorry. Xiaotang really had no choice but to have difficulties. I really regret it. I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed. I am with you. I was not by your side when you needed me most..."
Tianlan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but hug her into his arms and said, "It doesn't matter. Just come back. Your sudden disappearance makes me worried... If you can, tell me your whereabouts next time, okay. "
The moment she was hugged by him, from an angle that he couldn't see, Xiaotang's expression suddenly changed. It became a bit cold. However, his tone still maintained an aggrieved look. He said: "Yes. I promise you. This Xiaotang really had an unexpected change. I'm sorry."
Tianlan let go of her and said, "There was an accident. What happened? Can you tell me?"
Xiaotang left his arms and returned to her delicate appearance. Chu Chu nodded pitifully and said: "Well...actually, it's about my biological parents."
"Your biological parents." Tianlan felt a little strange when she heard her words. After all, she had been with Xiaotang for so many years. She rarely mentioned her biological parents. Even what happened before she came to the Tianlingsha family was rarely heard. She mentioned that Tianlan only knew that her family was poor since she was a child. Her father sold her to a wealthy family in exchange for family income. She came to the Tianlingsha family and has been living as Tianlan's personal maid until now.
Xiaotang said: "Well... I rarely mention my parents' affairs. I guess you don't know. Alas, I don't know either. And I haven't inquired about them in these years, so I don't know where they are at all. I don’t even remember their faces. But that day in the Far North Continent, someone suddenly found me and said they wanted to take me to meet my parents. Although I said I couldn’t leave with them right away, they told me My parents are critically ill. So I..."
Tianlan understood it as soon as he heard it. He said: "I see. You should really put your parents first. No matter how they treated you in the past, they are your biological parents after all. Blood is thicker than water. It is normal for you to be anxious when you hear that they are critically ill. .How are uncle and aunt doing now?"
Xiaotang's eyes dimmed and he said: "They... are deceased..."
"Alas..." Tianlan sighed quietly. He couldn't help but think of the scene when Ye Wu died. He was filled with sadness. He could understand the pain of losing a loved one. Even relatives who had no feelings were still blood relatives and could not be changed. Besides, which pair of parents in the world has no feelings for their child? Even his father hates him so much, but actually still cares about him...
His sigh unexpectedly aroused Xiaotang's sadness and actually made her cry.
Tianlan felt heartbroken when he saw her sad. Just when he was about to comfort her, Xiaotang took the initiative and ran into his arms, grabbing his clothes and sobbing.
Tianlan was infected by this sad atmosphere and felt sad in his heart. Recently, he had witnessed the tragic deaths of many people around him. This had a great impact on him. Now that he was provoked by Xiaotang, his mood began to agitate.
After being nervous at the beginning and then relaxed, he has now sunk into his own feelings and is unable to extricate himself. It can be said that he has lost all vigilance. It all seems quite natural. But who knows, this is all Xiaotang's careful calculation. The reason was to wait for the moment when Tianlan completely lost his vigilance.
Xiaotang saw the opportunity. At the moment when he was unprepared, a black dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. Without hesitation, it stabbed into his abdomen.
Tianlan was not focused. The key was that he was unprepared for Xiaotang. How could he have thought that Xiaotang would suddenly attack him... Even in his dreams, he would never have thought of this day.
This knife was stabbed by Xiaotang easily. The hilt of the knife was gone. Blood gushed out instantly.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiaotang in surprise. His eyes were full of disbelief. He didn't even subconsciously push Xiaotang away and kept hugging her.
It wasn't until the coldness of the dagger chilled his bones and his hands and feet began to feel cold and weak that he suddenly realized: the dagger was poisonous. And it must have been extremely poisonous. Only strong poison could make him lose his strength so quickly.
His white clothes had been dyed red by blood flowers. But his eyes still stayed on Xiaotang.
"Why……"
He only said three words, but he felt as if all the strength in his body had been taken away. His eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't resist. All the spiritual energy in his body was like a stone sinking into the sea. He couldn't mobilize the slightest bit. This weird dagger actually restrained his spiritual energy. No. No. It’s this poison. Poison that can block spiritual energy. Could this be...
At this time, Xiaotang raised his head. He happened to see her slightly cold and indifferent eyes. He had never seen Xiaotang's eyes so cold. So unfamiliar. So heartbreaking. But he didn't have time to think more about it. The coldness and darkness overwhelmed his consciousness. He closed his eyes and his body naturally fell on Xiaotang.
Xiaotang didn't care at all about the blood on his body. He opened his arms and hugged him. His eyes were still cold. He said to the void: "Okay. You guys are here. Take him back."
As soon as she finished speaking, two men in black walked out of the shadows. Looking at their attire, they were actually the attire of Qiye. Moreover, they were the attire of the seven highest elders.
The two men bowed respectfully to Xiaotang without saying anything. They neatly took the unconscious Tian Lan away. However, the slightly taller man in black looked at Xiaotang hesitantly as he left. There seemed to be something wrong. I wanted to say something, but in the end I didn't say it.
