Chapter 232 Stone Elder
Chapter 232 Elder Shi
With Xuan Tianji's speed, he returned to Baihe Village not long after. Looking around, the village was as quiet as usual and there was no accident.
Seeing Xuan Tianji and his party coming, Han Yixian immediately stood up and greeted him, asking, "Young Master Xuan, all the heroes, I don't know this..."
"With Brother Xuan taking action, everything will go well!" Li Xiaoyao smiled. "You can rest assured that the zombie's nest has been taken away by us, and the Red Ghost King has also been wiped out by Brother Xuan!"
"Is this true?" Han Yixian said in surprise.
"Of course!" Xuan Tianji said. "Baihe Village is safe now!"
"Oh! I thank you Mr. Xuan for your kindness. You saved our entire village!" Han Yixian was overjoyed when he heard this and bowed deeply.
"A mere trivial matter, nothing to mention!" Xuan Tianji smiled and looked at everyone and said. "It's time for us to set off! It's still early to take advantage of the weather, let's go!"
"Oh... Mr. Xuan wait!" Han Yixian stopped him immediately after hearing this. "Young Master Xuan is going southwest, so you can't go!"
"Why can't you go?" Before Xuan Tianji could speak, Lin Yueru said curiously."
"The southwest is Guiyin Mountain. Not long ago, a group of Miao people from unknown origin drove away the bandits from the Guiyin Gang, and they occupied this place!"
“So what?”
"I heard that they killed people without blinking, which is even more terrifying than bandits. If outsiders go, they will suffer!" Han Yixian said cautiously.
"But the place we go to is Nanzhao, and we must pass there!" Li Xiaoyao spoke and said indignantly. "These Miao people are too bold and dare to scatter wildly in the Central Plains. Later, I must teach them a lesson!"
"Brother Xuan, Brother Xiaoyao, they are here to find Ling'er!" Zhao Ling'er was silent for a long time. Hearing Li Xiaoyao's words, he slowly spoke.
"Uh..." Li Xiaoyao immediately stopped talking and looked at Zhao Ling'er in surprise. He didn't know what the Miao people had to do with Zhao Ling'er.
"Ling'er is the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom. As for those Miao people, they should be here to find Ling'er to return home!" Xuan Tianji explained when he saw everyone confused.
"What?" Everyone was shocked. They didn't seem to have thought that this beautiful and lovely fairy had such a noble identity!
"Princess of a country, it seems to be a little higher than my eldest daughter Linjiabao!" Lin Yueru muttered from the side.
"I'm bragging again! That's not a little bit, it's a world of difference!" Li Xiaoyao seemed to have a good hearing. When he heard Lin Yueru's words, he immediately mocked him.
"Hmph! It's always much better than you, a gangster in the world!" Lin Yueru glared at her eyes and retorted.
"Then why don't you be your daughter-in-law? Why do you do this hard work when you go out?" Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and said lazily.
"It's not..." Lin Yueru was so angry that she was about to tell the truth, but she paused suddenly.
"Okay!" Xuan Tianji said, stopping the two of them from arguing, and said, "After all, Nanzhao Kingdom is going to go, and it's useless to stop anyone. Let's set off!"
"Um!"
Since Xuan Tianji had already spoken, everyone naturally obeyed and packed their luggage. With the reluctant farewell from the villagers of Baihe Village, they left Baihe Village and headed towards the next stop.
On the way, Xuan Tianji looked at the absent-minded Zhao Ling'er and suddenly said, "Is Ling'er worried about returning to Nanzhao?"
"Ah!" Zhao Ling'er was shocked. She didn't expect Xuan Tianji to see what she was thinking, and she couldn't lie. She said sadly: "How did Brother Xuan know?"
"Ling'er's face was written, and I could see it at a glance!" Xuan Tianji smiled and said, "Is Ling'er worried about going back?"
Zhao Ling'er stopped hearing this, with a confused face on her pretty face and said sadly: "Ling'er is the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom and a descendant of Nuwa. I want to go back and fulfill my mission to my people! But this burden is too heavy, and even I can't bear it myself. I don't want Brother Xuan to get involved, I don't want you to suffer!"
Xuan Tianji sighed softly, looked at the girl in front of him at a loss, looked very frightened by the unknown, and said, "Isn't this still there? Ling'er doesn't need to be afraid! With me here, no one can hurt you. As for governing the country, I will teach you, Ling'er, don't be afraid!"
"Really?" Zhao Ling'er looked at Xuan Tianji with hopeful eyes, as if Xuan Tianji was her spiritual pillar at this time.
"Of course it's true!" Xuan Tianji smiled. "I came down to earth from heaven to let Ling'er escape from the sea of suffering and be a happy fairy. If Ling'er has any difficulties, you might as well say it! Everyone in the world cannot do anything, but I cannot do anything! Whether it is fate or tragedy, I will break it one by one!"
"Yes!" Zhao Ling'er nodded heavily when listening to Xuan Tianji's words, and said, "Ling'er remembers it!"
"That's right!" Xuan Tianji looked at Ling'er's smiling face and was in a happy mood for a moment.
"Brother Xuan is so nice!" Zhao Ling'er said happily.
"Let's go! Go and meet Ling'er's ministers!" Xuan Tianji held Zhao Ling'er's slender hand, his eyes faintly, as if he had seen Guiyin Mountain several miles away and the people above.
"Um!"
After solving Zhao Ling'er's psychological problems, the entire team became much happier. Everyone laughed and arrived at Guiyin Mountain after an hour.
Several Miao people stood in front of the mountain, and the leader was a white-bearded old man in a white robe. He stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by several people around him.
Seeing Xuan Tianji and his group coming, the old man stepped forward to Zhao Ling'er, bent down respectfully and said: "See the princess! The old minister deserves to die, so thank the princess on the road!"
"You guys get up first!" Zhao Ling'er glanced at Xuan Tianji, looked at Xuan Tianji's encouraging eyes, and felt very relieved in her heart, and said softly.
"Thank you Princess! The old minister came to welcome the princess back home on the order of the emperor. The emperor is anxious to wait for the princess to go back!"
"I also want to go back soon. I really want to ask my father about some things!" Zhao Ling'er said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"Okay! Tang Yu, eliminate all those who hinder our progress!" The old man frowned and said to a young man beside him, his words were full of murderous intent.
"Wait a minute!" Xuan Tianji suddenly asked, "Dare you ask Elder Shi, who is this person who is blocking?"
The old man's eyes flashed, he looked at Xuan Tianji and said, "Who are you? How do you know my name? Could it be that he is a thief who worships the moon!"
"Elder Shi, you misunderstood. Brother Xuan is not a member of the Moon Worshiping Sect. He was sent by God to protect Ling'er... the heavenly being!" Zhao Ling'er shouted hurriedly.
"Heavenly Man?" Elder Shi said disdainfully. "Princess, you are not well-informed in the world and you will inevitably be deceived by a traitor. I will expose his true face now!"
"Slowly, Brother Xuan is Ling'er's... companion, Elder Shi, you can't be offended!" Zhao Ling'er said.
"What?" Elder Shi was really surprised and said, "Is that true?"
"No silence!" Zhao Ling'er said firmly.
"Good Ling'er!" Xuan Tianji sighed in his heart as he heard Zhao Ling'er's words. (To be continued.)
