A familiar voice came through the door.
"it's me."
Slowly and immediately raised his head, feeling extremely astonished.
This turned out to be Jian Yi's voice!
Huan Huan immediately stood up, walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
The person standing outside the door is indeed Jian Yi!
I haven't seen her for a few days, but Jianyi looks much thinner, her face is pale, her lips are dry and peeling, and there are deep dark circles under her eyes.
Compared with the capable and steady Jian Yi before, the man in front of him was extremely decadent.
Slowly couldn't help asking: "How did you become like this?"
Jianyi smiled wryly: "The night He Zong led people to attack the Temple of Ten Thousand Beasts, they captured me. I was locked in the dungeon by them. I thought they would kill me, but I didn't expect He Zong to let me out again. .”
Slowly it dawned on her, no wonder she hadn't seen Jian Yi recently, it turned out that he was locked up.
Jian Yi knelt down on one knee and bowed her head deeply: "I'm sorry, Master Prophet, I failed to protect you and made you feel wronged."
Slowly and quickly helped him up: "He Zong came too suddenly, we were unprepared, so we fell into their trap, you don't need to blame yourself too much."
The more she said that, the more guilty Jianyi felt.
As the person in charge of all the servants of the gods, it was really his negligence that he failed to discover that someone had invaded the temple in the first place.
If it weren't for the special situation now, he really wished he could die to apologize!
Let him in slowly.
At this time Xingchen had carefully put away the portrait, he looked up at Xuan, and then glanced at Jianyi behind her.
Jianyi instinctively sensed the danger, and subconsciously stopped, not going any further.
Slowly beckon him to sit down.
Jianyi: "I can do it standing up."
He was a stubborn orc every time he chased him, and he had a very strict principle of status, so she didn't force him slowly. She asked, "Do you want to eat something? I have fruit here, some dried meat and buns."
Jianyi said no more.
Slowly took out a lot of food from the space, and pushed it in front of Jianyi: "Seeing that you are so skinny, hurry up and eat more."
During this period of time, Jianyi was trapped in the dungeon, unable to eat or sleep, and was in a poor state both mentally and physically.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no appetite." Jian Yi paused, hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The reason He Zong let me out is because he wanted you to meet someone."
"Why didn't He Zong come and tell me?"
Jianyi subconsciously looked at Xingchen beside her, hesitated to speak.
Slowly turning his head to look at Xingchen, he immediately understood what Jianyi meant.
It must be that Xingchen didn't let He Zong see her.
Slowly asked: "Who does He Zong want me to meet?"
Jianyi: "He is the patriarch of the mermaid clan."
Huan Huan was very surprised: "You mean Shen Yuan?"
"Yes, that's him."
At this juncture, what did Shen Yuan come to Wanshou City for
Huan Huan was very puzzled: "Why does Shen Yuan want to see me?"
"Listen to He Zong, patriarch Shen Yuan brought the most precious shark crystal of the mermaid clan this time. He wants to represent the mermaid clan to take refuge in Wanshou City and offer the shark crystal as a tribute, but he has one condition, that is, to personally kill the shark crystal. The crystal is in your hands."
Slowly suddenly realized.
So this is ah!
No wonder He Zong was in a hurry to see him. With his personality, he must be very greedy for the Mermaid and Yujing, and wanted to take both of them into his pocket.
Jian Yi hesitated and said: "I think this matter may be a turning point, but it may also be a trap. You must be careful."
"I know," Huan Huan quickly made a decision, "Go and tell He Zong, just say that I am willing to meet the patriarch of the Mermaid Clan."
"yes."
Jianyi left quickly.
Slowly still pondering why Shen Yuan appeared suddenly, Xingchen quietly leaned over and muttered, "Why did you agree to He Zong's request? Because of that sword instrument?"
If she said yes, he would immediately kill that sword instrument.
"It has nothing to do with Jianyi. I just don't want to be locked up here anymore. There are wars everywhere outside. I must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible and work together with everyone to defend my home."
Stardust doesn't care about Zhan, he only cares about her.
"If you are free, will you leave me like before?"
Xiaoba: "Don't hesitate! Promise him! Let him relax his vigilance! Otherwise, you will never be able to regain your freedom in this life!"
Slowly and involuntarily answered: "No."
Xingchen was dubious: "Really?"
He had been deceived by her so many times before that he couldn't believe her too much.
Raise your hand slowly: "I can swear to God."
She prayed secretly in her heart, oh my god, the oath I am swearing now is forced by the situation, you must never take it seriously!
Stardust stared into her eyes: "You swear on your child's life."
This oath is too cruel!
Huan Huan was a little afraid to speak: "This is between us, it has nothing to do with the children, don't let them get involved..."
"If you don't swear, I won't let you go."
Slowly, it was very clear that with Xingchen's paranoid character, he must keep his word.
She was forced to have no choice but to bite the bullet and swear: "I swear by my children, I will never leave Stardust in the future, otherwise my children will all..."
Stardust: "I will die a terrible death!"
Slowly and with difficulty squeezed out four words: "Unfortunate death..."
God! Please don't take my current oath seriously!
Xingchen smiled contentedly: "I will trust you one last time."
…
Early the next morning, I woke up slowly.
As soon as she sat up, she saw Xingchen blocking the door, and there seemed to be someone standing outside the door.
While putting on clothes, Huan Huan asked in a low voice, "Who is outside?"
He Zong's voice came in immediately.
"Master Prophet, it's me!"
When you ask for help from others, you call her Master Prophet.
Slowly sneering in her heart, she got dressed, put a veil on herself, folded the bedding neatly, and then let Xingchen let people in.
Xingchen turned his body sideways, and walked in with vertical steps.
He still seemed to be wary of Huan Huan's bewitching eyes, so he stopped two meters away from her and said, "The patriarch of the Mermaid Clan has already gone up the mountain, and he will arrive at the temple soon, please." You go to the front hall now."
Slowly took out two meat buns and gave one to Xingchen.
She walked out while eating.
He Zong couldn't help reminding: "You are classified as a prophet, you shouldn't eat in front of outsiders, it's very rude."
Slowly chuckled: "You almost ruined me, why don't you care if I'm elegant?"
He Zong was so stunned that he couldn't speak.
When they walked to the front hall, Huan Huan had already finished eating the meat buns in their hands.
She looked around and asked casually, "Where's Jianyi?"
He Zong: "He is naturally staying where he should be."
