Chapter 369 Return
In a blink of an eye, Xia Houtian and others have been waiting in Yuqiong Tower for half a month, but they still haven't seen the mysterious Jinlin patriarch. Although every time Jin Liner said it was fast, it was gone.
"Brother, it's been so long. Even if the old man is busy, he should be able to spare some time!" Chen Lun, who is active by nature, has already erased all his patience, hoping that Xia Houtian can no longer choose to wait.
"Brother Lun, don't worry. Look at the big brother, you must have your own opinion!" Lan Xin comforted Chen with a smile on his face, soothing Chen Lun's anxiety with his own actions.
"Sister, I'm not doubting the eldest brother. I'm just waiting like this. I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"
"The fifth brother is right. Since you can't wait, take the initiative!" Xia Houtian looked calm and seemed to be confident.
"Brother, in this case, what are you waiting for? Although this damn place is gorgeous, it is not as comfortable as a desert island!" Seeing that Xia Houtian agreed with him, Chen Lu immediately said.
"Fifth brother, don't be impatient, listen to the eldest brother."
"Ha ha, my second brother still knows what I'm thinking. Since the other party is hiding, there is no need for us to stay, what do you think?"
At this moment, after a soft white light, Jin Lin'er appeared in front of the crowd and asked slowly, "Big brother, are you leaving?"
The appearance of Jin Lin'er can be said to be a rare opportunity. As soon as Xiahou Tian had an idea, he answered and said, "Yes, since the Jinlin patriarch is busy, we don't have time to disturb you. Thank you and goodbye!"
After saying that, Xia Houtian raised his legs and left. Everyone followed him one after another and left the gorgeous Yuqiong Tower in turn, as if there was no souvenir.
"Sister Zixin, Sister Lan Xin, can't you wait any longer?"
For half a month, Jin Lin'er often came to Yuqiong Building. Gradually, she became familiar with Zixin and Lan Xin, who were also women. Naturally, she also learned their identities from the conversation.
Therefore, as long as the two of them can be persuaded to stay, then others will naturally not leave lightly.
Unfortunately, Jin Lin'er's good thinking is going to fail this time. Since Xia Houtian has made up his mind to take the initiative to attack, Zixin and Lan Xin will naturally not obstruct at all!
"Sister Lin'er, we have something else to do, so I won't stay. If you miss us in the future, just go to the desert island to find us. Sister will treat you well!"
Zixin responded very well, but Jin Lin'er couldn't say anything more, so she turned her eyes to Lan Xin. However, what she got was a similar answer. At this time, she didn't know what to do.
It was not until everyone walked out of the Yuqiong Tower that Jin Lin'er slowly realized it and immediately caught up with it.
"Big brother, wait a minute. If so, you can't live without this underwater world."
"Oh?"
Originally, Xia Houtian didn't want to really leave. When he heard Jin Liner chasing him out, he stopped and turned around and asked.
"Without Grandpa's key, no one can open the crystal wall. In this way, you can't get out of here."
"In that case, how about asking Miss Jin Liner to borrow the key so that I can wait for me to go out?"
Under the sign of Xia Houtian's eyes, Qian Kun and Chen Lun had a tacit understanding. They vaguely surrounded Jin Lin'er in it. They didn't agree with each other, so they drew their knives.
"The key is with Grandpa, and even I can't do it." Jin Lin'er waved her hand helplessly, as if it was very difficult for Xia Houtian's requirements.
"Well, little girl, we have been here for more than half a month. Your grandfather is busy and shouldn't have left us alone all the time, regardless!" Li Fang, who had a hot temper, immediately shouted in a low voice, and the glory in his hand was hidden, ready to deal with the situation that could happen at any time.
"Grandpa is a little busy, I..."
In fact, Jin Lin'er knows very well that the reason why his grandfather doesn't see everyone is to blow everyone's spirit, but she didn't expect that it was the current situation.
"Grandpa, why don't you come? I'm afraid I can't control my granddaughter later!" Jin Lin'er kept praying in her heart, hoping that Grandpa could appear.
"Miss Lin'er, my brother is grumpy, but he is all good intentions. Please don't be surprised. Get the key quickly and let me leave, otherwise!"
Xia Houtian's restrained momentum flourished. With the weakening of his voice, he instantly swept the place of Jin Lin'er and others. Originally, the guards behind Jin Lin'er suddenly felt like being under heavy pressure and resisted one after another, but still slowly bent down.
"Big brother, no, we really don't mean anything."
The momentum came, and a warm yellow jade pendant on Jin Lin'er's waist emitted bursts of yellow light, like an invisible barrier, which blocked Xia Houtian's pressure, and then she was able to shout.
"Oh? No malice? Then I'd like to ask if what you said at the beginning is true?" Xia Houtian immediately weakened the pressure a lot and asked in a low voice.
"What does the big brother mean?"
"Ask knowingly!"
Jin Lin'er's pretentious posture immediately angered Xia Houtian. Xia Houtian no longer kept his hand, and a wave of pressure like a sea spread away. Behind Jin Lin'er, the slightly weaker soldiers suddenly spit out blood.
The jade pendant originally hanging on Jin Lin'er's waist suddenly rose like a bright moon, sprinkling soft light to protect the soldiers behind her.
Suddenly, Xia Houtian felt a powerful aura fluctuation spreading, but it was thick in the magnificent, like a spring.
"Be careful, everyone!"
Everyone sacrificed magic weapons one after another, and the dazzling lights shone one after another, slowly connecting them together, forming an invisible barrier to protect everyone.
"Brother, what should I do?" Everyone's eyes focused on Xia Houtian, hoping that he could make an idea.
"Don't panic, everyone. This energy is peaceful. I can't feel the slightest violence. It must be just a warning. It's not intended to embarrass us. This time, the mysterious head of the Jinlin clan should appear!"
Sure enough, before Xia Houtian finished his voice, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Hahaha, distinguished and politeness, my friends, please don't be angry!"
"Grandpa! You're finally here!" Jin Lin'er cried with joy, and also made Xia Houtian and others understand who the owner of the voice was.
"Dear the patriarch of the Jinlan family, I don't mean to offend you. Please forgive me!"
Then, under the hint of Xia Houtian, everyone put away the magic weapons one after another, and the magnificent energy also dissipated in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
"Lin'er, bring them here!"
"Yes, Grandpa! Big brother, please, my grandpa is back!"
"Nonsense, we all heard it!" Chen Lun couldn't help complaining.
"Okay, fifth brother, let's go. I'd like to see what the patriarch of this golden scale clan looks like. How can he neglect me so much!" Qian Kun said angrily.
Indeed, whoever has been left for half a month will not be in a good mood. Qian Kun can be so restrained, which is enough for the right aspects.
Then, Jin Lin'er led everyone to an empty spot. From a distance, the magnificent figure of Yuqiong Tower could be faintly seen, which was only 100 meters apart!
"God, the person who came is not good!"
When Zixin saw Xia Houtian stop, he followed his eyes from a distance. After thinking about it, he sent a voice to remind him.
"On the contrary, Zimei, I don't think it's a bad thing. If it's really like what you think, then the patriarch of the Jinlin clan must be extraordinary. Maybe I can really go home!"
At such a close distance, Xia Houtian and others' actions can be said to be completely controlled by the other party. The other party has a full opportunity and the strength to break them one by one, but obviously, the other party does not, and the meaning of this is worth considering.
Zixin didn't say anything more, but he tightened Xia Houtian's trembling arm and comforted his beloved with his own strength.
"Big brother, please come in. My grandpa is inside!"
"Thank you, Miss Lin'er!"
After saying that, Xia Houtian took the lead and only felt that his eyes lit up. A hall with a similar style but looked very simple came into view. It was not so much a palace as a quiet room.
"You are coming, please sit down!"
With the sound of the words, a yellow futon appeared in front of Xia Houtian and others in turn, as if silent, which made Xia Houtian also have a trace of curiosity.
"Thank you very much!"
Xia Houtian held his fists in his hands, thanked the other party, and sat on the futon rudely.
Waiting for everyone to do a good job, the old man sitting above him smiled, gently stroked the white beard of his chin with his fingers, and said slowly, "You are not from here!"
The seemingly understated words raised a trace of surprise in Xia Houtian's heart. Although it was well covered, it still did not escape the other party's eyes.
"It seems that I guessed right. You are really not from the overseas islands!"
"So what?"
"I'm curious. How did you get here without the Middle-earth of the long-distance transmission array?"
"What does that have to do with it?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter. The reason why I asked Lin'er to invite you is that I hope there is something to ask you. Of course, it won't be free!"
"Oh, I'd like to hear more about it!"
"Ha ha, maybe you are curious why the little-known Jinscale clan is so huge. In fact, we have another name. Maybe Xia Houtian, you are not unfamiliar with it?"
"Then I'll listen to it."
"Dragonfish!"
"What? Are you the only one left in Middle-earth, the dragonfish family with Dragon Island?
"Dragon Island? Aren't you among them? "What?"
"Is this Dragon Island?"
"Hahaha, what do you think?"
Middle-earth, due to the strength of the immortals, the evil outsiders can't hide. Even the monsters have become the prey of the immortals who shout to kill, but everything is out. This is the case with the dragon fish family. They live in seclusion on the Dragon Island and have always been very mysterious. Therefore, at the time of the Qingyun School, Xia Houtian also occasionally came from the classics. I can only get a glimpse of one or two.
"So, can you send me back to Middle-earth?"
"Of course, half a year later, it will be the day when the new generation of practitioners of our family will go out. At that time, you can return to Middle-earth through the crystal wall!"
What the old man said is very casual, just like a common meal, but Xia Houtian understands a truth, that is, there is no free lunch in the world, and the other party must have a plan!
"Say, what are your requirements?"
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being the ninth elder of the resistance alliance. It's really extraordinary. It's very simple. As long as you guarantee the safety of the experiencer, that's enough!"
"Oh? Is it so simple?
"It's that simple. As long as the practitioner's experience is over, he will return to Longdao. In this way, the requirements will be met!"
"I don't know how long it will take for aristocratic practitioners to practice?"
"A few months, a few years!"
"No, you must set a time limit, otherwise please forgive me!"
"This..." The old man is a little hesitant. After all, the situation of the practitioners is different, there is no comparison, and it is really impossible to set a time limit.
If it hadn't been for the turmoil in the Middle Earth, and the turbulence of the immortal world, and the experiencer was his only granddaughter, he would not have asked for it.
After thinking about it, the old man said again, "Then let's take three years. What do you think?"
"Okay, just three years!"
"The Elder Xiahou is really cheerful. In half a year, I will invite you to come again. At that time, you can return to Middle-earth with the experienced people. However, it is said that the Middle-earth is in troubled times, and I'm afraid it is not peaceful. You'd better prepare well."
"If you don't worry about the patriarch, Xia Houtian naturally understands, goodbye!"
"Jin Lin'er, send the guests out!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
