"Second Uncle, you said Tianyang saved you?"
The little bird looked incredulous: "How is this possible? He is not..."
"Little bird."
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind the girl. All of a sudden, Xiaoniao's whole body trembled slightly, and the figure of a young man flashed through his mind, his pure silver hair, his warm smile, and his clear eyes.
Everything about him was originally a little vague, but because of this sentence, it suddenly became clear again.
The little bird turned around slowly, with some anticipation and some fear.
Looking forward to the person in memory being right behind me.
I was also afraid that what I just heard was just an illusion.
Finally, she turned around and the people behind her separated.
then.
She saw a figure walking in from the door. He seemed to have grown taller, but his silver hair was still like a silver flame burning quietly. His warm eyes carried a little cautious apology, his mouth was outlined with a faint smile, and his voice had a little more subtle magnetism.
"I'm back."
He said.
The girl's whole body trembled and she suddenly choked with sobs.
She had imagined many times what she would say and what she would do if she saw him again.
But she found that when she saw the person she missed day and night again, she could say nothing and could do nothing.
At first it was just sobbing, then sobbing, and finally crying out like a baby.
The little bird didn't know how she pounced over. She just touched the silver hair, rubbed the slightly weather-beaten face, pounded the even stronger and more powerful chest, and then heard herself talking incoherently.
"Where have you been!"
"Why didn't you say goodbye to me!"
"I'm worried about you!"
... ... ..
The girl complained word by word, and looking at her tearful face, Tianyang said nothing, but hugged her tightly.
Then he lowered his head, buried it gently in her hair, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
The bird's body tensed up at first, then slowly relaxed. It shook its head gently and slightly without saying anything.
Until Yun Yuan, who was lying on the bed, coughed and said, "You young people, please take care of me, an old man. I am still a patient."
Xiao Niao was shocked to realize that her second uncle was still beside her, and her second brother and others were also looking at her. A red cloud suddenly rose on the girl's face, and she pushed Tianyang away and rushed out of the room in a hurry: "I'm going to wash my face first!"
She fled in panic.
Yun Yuan laughed, but suddenly the wound was injured and the laughter turned into a muffled groan. Then he waved to Tian Yang and said, "Go ahead. Yun Feng is here."
Tianyang looked at Yunfeng, who nodded. He then turned and left the room to look for the bird.
It took a while for Xiaoniao to come back. She had tidied herself up a little, and except for some redness in the corners of her eyes and her slightly messy hair, she looked no different from usual.
The bird stood on tiptoe and touched Tianyang's head: "It's not an illusion, you have grown taller?"
Tianyang touched his nose. Normally, his height should have been fixed. But after being promoted to Rank 7, his body was sublimated and evolved, and his height did increase a bit.
"Maybe it's because of the promotion." Tianyang said casually.
The little bird blinked its big eyes and asked curiously: "Promotion, what is your current rank?"
Tianyang gestured a number with his fingers.
Xiao Niao exclaimed, "Rank 7? You've already reached rank 7?"
"That's amazing. My uncle said that being promoted to Rank 7 is an important watershed on the road to sublimation. It is very easy to fail at this point, and you may even die because you can't withstand the power of sublimation."
"That's why my second uncle never tried to get promoted..."
Tianyang smiled and said, "I'm lucky. How about you? Have you reached level 6?"
The bird blushed and said guiltily, "No."
Then she snorted and said, "But you can't blame me. It was you who left without saying goodbye, which made me not even feel like getting promoted."
Tian Yang coughed twice: "The situation was quite special at that time, I..."
Suddenly a finger was pointed at his mouth, stopping him from talking any more. The bird shook his head and said with a smile: "I believe you must have some unavoidable reasons to do this."
"Anyway, it's good that you're back now."
Tianyang was worried that she would be disappointed again, so he could only say: "I will leave here after the fortress war is over."
Then he tried to ask: "When the time comes, do you want to come with me and go somewhere else? Qianhong will come with us, and Xun should also be able to..."
"Yeah?"
"Really?"
The little bird said excitedly, "Great, then we can all be together again and have adventures and explore together again!"
But her face suddenly turned gloomy: "But I'm worried that uncle won't agree."
Just then, someone coughed dryly, "Are you worried that I won't agree to something?"
Tianyang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall figure walking towards him with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back. It was the Yun family's pillar, Yun Hai!
Tianyang thought to himself that it was amazing. You know, with his current abilities, almost no one could hide from his perception. But he didn't realize it until Yunhai coughed dryly.
Although his attention is mostly on the bird at the moment, it can also be seen that this great man of the Yun family is unfathomable.
"Mr. Yunhai." Tianyang greeted with a smile.
Yun Hai nodded gently and said, "I heard everything. It was you who saved the second child. The Yun family owes you a favor."
Yun Hai snorted again: "If those dark bastards hadn't learned their lesson, and hadn't feinted an attack and used a lord as bait to lure Yun into action, otherwise, the second brother wouldn't have fallen into danger."
I see...
Yun Hai glanced at Tian Yang again and said with emotion: "I saw before that your talent is not inferior to Yun Feng and the others. Now it seems that I was wrong at that time. Who would have thought that your achievements today are the best among your peers."
He then glanced at the bird and said, "You can take the bird away if you want, but if she gets hurt, I will settle the score with you!"
The little bird was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Uncle, do you agree to let me go with Tianyang?"
Yunhai waved his hands with a look of disdain: "Let's go, let's go. Girls should not be kept at home when they grow up. Look how happy you are. I will go and talk to your parents myself."
The little bird cheered immediately, rushed over, hugged Yunhai and kissed him hard on the cheek: "Uncle, you are the best!"
Yun Hai was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and scolded: "Crazy girl, you have no respect for your elders."
The little bird stuck out its tongue and quickly let go of Yun Hai, then said, "My sublimation progress has been maxed out. When I return, I will be promoted to Rank 6. I can protect myself."
Yun Hai snorted: "You are so stupid. Why should a girl be so strong? Be a little weak so that a man can protect you and love you more."
His big sleeves
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you young people can handle your own affairs. I'll go take care of the second brother."
After Yunhai left, Tianyang and Xiaoniao smiled at each other.
... ... ...
Somewhere in the opposite world.
Su Lie raised his head and in front of him was a building similar to a checkpoint. However, it had been destroyed, apparently to allow large amounts of traffic to pass through quickly.
He looked at the ground. There were still some shallow tire tracks on it, which looked like they were left not long ago.
Su Lie narrowed his eyes slightly in the black and smooth mask. He had been moving with the black people these days. After those black people came to this area, they left, but Su Lie felt something in this area.
In the depths of the darkness, something was calling him, and he followed this feeling all the way, and the sensation became clearer and clearer.
Su Lie was not sure whether it was Yuan Shu or something inside his body who summoned him, but he was sure that there must be something here.
He passed the checkpoint and turned onto a road, where he could see some abandoned and damaged tents, with labels of the Skyfort military tents still posted on them.
Obviously, the Skyforge had been active here before.
Su Lie looked forward and soon found a car. Judging from its shape, it should be a vehicle used to transfer workers in the base. Su Lie walked to the side of the car and opened the door. A strong stench immediately came out from inside.
Using the Dark Vision, Su Lie could easily see a number of corpses lying in a mess. These corpses had long been rotten. If there were no flies in the Reverse Realm, the carriage would have been filled with flies and mosquitoes.
“It’s really bad.”
With Su Lie's vision and experience, he naturally saw that the people in the carriage were affected by some force, which led to them killing each other.
He walked to the front of the car and saw that the door of the cab was open and there were faint footprints nearby. Following the footprints, he came to an abyss. Su Lie looked at the edge and saw the footprints forward. It was obvious that the person who came out of the cab had already climbed down into the abyss.
Su Lie walked forward calmly and jumped down.
The wind whistled in my ears.
A moment later, he landed on the ground in a half-kneeling position, making a muffled sound and raising a circle of dust.
He stood up again. There were also footprints left on the ground here. Su Lie followed these footprints into the darkness.
He didn't know how long he walked before he finally stopped.
He came to a very open place. He saw a towering tree in front of him and a high-backed throne near the tree.
A figure was sitting on the throne made of tangled tree roots.
Su Lie did not make any movement, just quietly observing the figure.
The figure had his hands on the armrests and his head resting on his chest. He was wearing a full-body protective suit of the Skyforge, but his helmet was missing. The man's hair was disheveled and he seemed to be dead.
Time seemed to freeze here quietly, until one of the fingers of the figure's hand on the armrest moved slightly.
Then, the head hanging on the chest slowly raised up, and the body moved, shaking off countless dust.
A hoarse and dark voice sounded from the throne in the empty hall: "Are you here?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
"You are back after all, Su Lie..."
Su Lie recognized this voice, and even though many years had passed, he had never forgotten it.
This is Yuan Shu’s voice!
