Crunch.
The door was pushed open slightly, and the moonlight stretched out a light path, and in that light path, a slender body walked in slowly, and the pair of clear eyes was trembling at this time.
She walked into the room, lowered her head slightly, her two small hands were tightly twisted together, her eyes dodged, but she did not dare to look at the man on the bed.
Lin Dong, who was sitting on the bed, looked at the girl who walked in like this. After a long while, he saw that the latter seemed to have no sign of speaking, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Xin Qing, there is What's the matter?"
Xin Qing's teeth clenched her small mouth tightly, and the twisted hands even turned blue because of the force, her heart seemed to be quite struggling.
Lin Dong looked at her quietly, and stopped urging.
Quietness lasted for several minutes in the room, and there was a splash of water in Xinqing's eyes, and she knelt down suddenly.
"Master Lin Dong..."
Lin Dong stared at Xin Qing and smiled: "Your mother made you come, didn't you?"
"Um."
"If I'm not mistaken, your mother wants you to stay here tonight, right? Why? Do you want the Nine-tailed tribe to get my asylum?" Lin Dong said softly.
"I'm sorry..." Xinqing's eyes were red, and the water couldn't stop flowing down: "I know I'm sorry for sister Xinlian, just for the sake of the people, I can give everything, even my life or... body."
"The Nine-Tailed Clan was very powerful before, but I did not have the lofty ambition to restore glory. I just want my clan to survive well, instead of worrying about being caught every day and being ravaged by others at will. Female slave."
Lin Dong looked at the girl who was kneeling on the ground crying extremely sadly, and sighed slightly. Aunt Xin wanted to put the honor and disgrace of a race on the shoulders of such a weak girl, but it was too heavy...
"I know Master Lin Dong's temperament, this method of my mother definitely won't work... But you can let me sit here overnight, and I will explain to my mother tomorrow."
Lin Dong sighed, he walked off the bed, then sat down beside Xinqing, looked at the girl’s crying pear-like face, and smiled: “I’m from a very small person in the Eastern Profound Region. Little Dynasty family, do you know? When I was very young, there was an enemy, and that enemy had the power to easily obliterate my family..."
"My father, he was badly injured and turned into a waste... At that time, there was a huge difference in strength between me and him. He was a brilliant genius in that dynasty, and I was just an unknown person in a small family. "
Xinqing stopped sobbing and looked at the young man with a bright smile in front of her with red eyes. She couldn't imagine that this man who even the most top-level powerhouses in the world like Moro and the blue pheasant attaches great importance to this kind of man. 'S past...
"The later story was very simple. I learned to forbear, and gradually became stronger in the experience. In the end, I killed him..."
Lin Dong stretched out his palm, touched the girl’s little head, and whispered, “I know your race is very difficult, but in this world, if you want to truly protect the people you care about, you only have the power to rely on yourself. ."
"Your starting point is much better than mine. At this age, it is the strength of the Profound Realm. In my dynasty, it is simply a super genius... So, believe in yourself, one day, you will let the Nine Tails stand up again. In this demon world."
"At that time, you would think that all of this is unnecessary today. Of course, if there is one day, don't hate me. I don't want to provoke an angry nine-tailed fox..."
"Pouch."
The girl couldn't help laughing, and then her straight nose twitched lightly, and she looked at Lin Dong with bright eyes: "Does Master Lin Dong think I can do it?"
"Of course, you have this potential." Lin Dong smiled.
Upon hearing this, the girl bit her silver teeth lightly, and her little hand suddenly clenched tightly. At this moment, Lin Dong could see the depths of the pair of eyes, as if a cluster of flames was rising.
"Thank you, Master Lin Dong, I know what to do."
Xin Qing smiled playfully at Lin Dong: "Now I know why even sister Xinlian, who has such a high-sightedness, would like you..."
"Ah, I and her are just friends." Lin Dong said awkwardly.
Xin Qing looked at Lin Dong’s face, suddenly her petite body leaned forward, a pair of slender arms lightly hugged Lin Dong, and said in a low voice, "Master Lin Dong, you are right, you want to really change the Nine-Tailed Clan. , We can only rely on our own strength. If we lose that courage, we will not be able to blame others for lingering alive..."
Lin Dong was slightly startled, just about to speak, the softness in her arms was already retreating, and then the girl got up and blinked at him: "Lin Dong-sama, rest early, Xinqing interrupted."
The voice fell, and the girl was already out of the room, only the fragrance remained.
Lin Dong looked at the back of the girl who came out of the room. The latter seemed to have changed something. He could feel that some of the shame that had existed in the girl's eyes had completely disappeared at this time.
However, I hope she can get better and better. He regards his heart as a friend and will help if he can help, but he does not want to rely on his help. After all, as he said, if you want to change, you still have to rely on it. Own.
…
In the night of Jiuwei Village, the girl ran in it, and then she rushed into the clan's ancestral hall somewhat panting, where she met Aunt Xin and several elders in the clan.
"Xin Qing?" Aunt Xin looked at the girl who rushed in, but she was slightly startled.
The elders glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything. They also knew what Xinqing would do tonight...
"Mother, I said that your method is useless to Master Lin Dong." Xin Qing smiled faintly.
Aunt Xin's eyes darkened, and immediately shook her head with a wry smile. She raised her head and muttered in a slightly sad tone: "Is this the fate of my Nine-tailed clan..."
"I'm going to the Ancestral Soul Palace!"
The girl’s firm voice suddenly sounded in the ancestral hall. Aunt Xin and the others trembled when they heard the words. They immediately raised their heads in astonishment, looking at the eyes that held the little hands tightly, but at this time, there was no slightest sway in the eyes. And timidity.
"I want to make a break, even if I fail and die in the end, I will never regret it!"
Xinqing's eyes stared at Aunt Xin tightly: "I know that the Ancestral Soul Palace can only be opened for the last time. That is our Nine-Tailed Clan’s last chance, but if we keep this timid, our Nine-Tailed Clan will continue to decline. Go down."
"Mother, instead of living in trembling every day like this, it's better to let go. If it still fails in the end, it is God's destiny that my Nine-tailed clan can no longer cast glory, then..."
At this point, the girl's eyes became decisive and poignant: "It's better to let the Nine-tailed tribe automatically disappear into the world, so that at least, I can keep the last bit of decentness for the Nine-tailed tribe."
The entire ancestral hall became quiet and silent at this time. Auntie Xin's faces were pale, and there were some vibrations in their eyes. They didn't expect that this timid and weak girl in daily life was sharp at this moment. Amazing...
"The Patriarch..."
The silence lasted for a long time, and a woman clenched her palms abruptly: "Xin Qing is right. Although we only have the last chance,... Instead of waiting in a muddle-headed manner, she put her expectation on gaining protection from others. Come on, it's better to have a real fight!"
"If my ancestors bless me, my Nine-tailed clan will be able to regain glory again. If it really fails... then it's really meaningless to live so protractedly."
The other people were also silent, but in the depths of their eyes, it seemed that there was a flame that had been suppressed for a long time.
Aunt Xin trembled, and finally she couldn't help crying out: "I know we are all tired like this, but I just want to protect our people, our family, we have suffered too much."
"So mother... let's fight for the last time." Xin Qing walked up, knelt down beside Aunt Xin, smiled while holding her cold palm in her little hand.
Aunt Xin looked at the girl in front of her, tears constantly falling: "You will die. For thousands of years, none of the people who have entered the Ancestral Soul Palace can survive. There is a cursed dead place..."
"It's better than not knowing which day the big man will be caught as a concubine or even a slave girl, okay?" Xin Qing said softly.
Aunt Xin looked at the daughter who was suddenly more mature and firm than them. The last stubbornness in her heart was finally completely shattered. She stroked Xinqing's soft long hair with her palm, and then gritted her teeth and nodded: "That Open the Ancestral Soul Palace!"
On Xin Qing's cheeks, joy came out finally: "Mother, thank you!"
Aunt Xin wiped the tears on her cheeks and said, "If you fail, then from now on, there will be no more nine-tailed clan in this world."
"Tomorrow I will recruit the clansmen, announce the news, and then send you to the Ancestral Soul Palace!"
"Um!"
The solidified atmosphere in the ancestral hall finally dissipated a lot at this time. Perhaps the final decision was made. Aunt Xin's cheeks were no longer depressed, but instead smile a little more.
"It seems that the Ancestral Soul Palace is a very dangerous place..."
Suddenly a laughter came in|coming in, shocking everyone in the ancestral hall, and then turning his head, he saw a figure leaning against the door who didn't know when.
"Master Lin Dong?!" Xin Qing stared at the figure, was taken aback for a moment, and quickly dried the spray on her cheeks.
Aunt Xin looked at Lin Dong, and immediately got up and bowed to him: "Brother Lin Dong, the previous incident was that the concubine was reckless, please don't be offended."
Lin Dong shrugged, glanced at Xinqing, and said, "The ancestral soul palace, can outsiders go in?"
Aunt Xin was startled and said: "You can enter, but it's dangerous there."
However, Xinqing's small face changed at this time, and she quickly said, "Master Lin Dong, it's not possible..."
"I'll accompany her to the Ancestral Soul Palace."
Lin Dong ignored the girl's objection, stretched his waist and turned around. When he went away, there was still a murmur.
"Really... Just comfort it... How can comfort come on such an absolute path... What a failure..."
Xinqing heard those murmurs, but her little hand couldn't help covering her mouth. The water splashed together, and big drops rolled down.
