When they entered the fourth hidden mission of the dungeon, the plot of the dungeon began to escalate. It was so crazy that even Guhan was shocked.
Just as Guhan and Yi Qing were about to set off from the oasis to find the reason for the abnormal appearance of so many Yuan Kou, two extremely disheveled people stumbled into the Zouwu Tribe and asked to see Guhan and Yi Qing.
"Master Guhan, please save us, Master Guhan!"
As soon as they saw Guhan, they threw themselves under Guhan and hugged Guhan's legs. "Master Guhan, Yuan Kou, there are so many Yuan Kou … The Zongzi Tribe is finished …"
Guhan fixed his eyes on them. Guhan actually knew these two people. They were the two people from the exploration team that Guhan entered the dungeon in the game.
These two people were undoubtedly members of the Zongzi Tribe.
"Uncle Long, what's wrong? What happened?"
The person who was more agitated than Guhan was naturally Yi Qing, who had just become a sword bearer. He pulled up Uncle Long who was kneeling on the ground and questioned him sternly.
"Yi Qing … Yi Qing … That's right, the chief said that you are a friend of Master Guhan. Hurry up and beg Master Guhan to save our tribe," Uncle Long said incoherently.
"What happened? Uncle Long, I'm a swordsman now. I can do a lot of things. Hurry up and tell me what happened to the tribe!" This was the first time Yi Qing had lost his cool. He seemed to have gone crazy.
"Yi Qing, there are so many Yuan Huis, all of them are Yuan Huis, Yuan Huis have covered the entire desert. Master Gu Han, the chief told us to come find you, please be merciful and save our Zongzi Tribe!" The two of them knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"Master Guhan, I'm sorry, Yi Qing will leave first."
Hearing this, Yi Qing could not stay any longer. He sheathed his white iron sword and immediately fled in the direction of the Zongzi Tribe.
"Something's wrong!"
Guhan helplessly shook his head as he watched Yi Qing leave. After all, he was only seventeen years old. His mentality was still immature … Guhan seemed to have forgotten that he was only eighteen years old.
However, Guhan could not allow Yi Qing to rush in recklessly. If something else were to happen, this Hidden Instance Dungeon would likely fail.
It wasn't easy for him to encounter such an interesting dungeon, so Guhan couldn't bear to end it just like that.
…
On the way back to the Zongzi tribe, Guhan and Yi Qing met a few people who were running for their lives like mad tigers.
After Yi Qing identified them, they were all from the Zongzi tribe.
After Yi Qing instructed them to flee to the Bi An tribe, he ran even faster. With the help of the Sword Lady's physique, Yi Qing's speed had already surpassed Usain Bolt's maximum speed. He kept on rushing and returned to his Zongzi tribe in about ten minutes.
But it was too late.
The periphery of the Zongzi tribe was already littered with all kinds of corpses. Within the stronghold, the corpses were densely packed and everywhere.
Yi Qing walked around the stronghold in a daze. He remembered all the names of the people in the entire tribe.
Every time he saw a corpse, he would say the person's name and shake the gradually stiffening corpse, trying to wake them up from their slumber.
Of course, it was a waste of effort. Yuan Kou killed people in a straightforward manner, just like how Yi Qing killed Yuan Kou in a straightforward manner.
"Yi Qing … Qing 'er …" Amidst the pile of corpses, Yi Qing suddenly heard a weak voice calling his name. Following the direction of the voice, he realized it was the Tribal Chief, Yi Yun. The oldest man in the tribe was still alive. He had lost an arm, and his face was pale from excessive blood loss. Although he was still alive, he did not have much longer to live.
"Chief, Chief!"
Yi Qing ran over and hugged the Tribal Chief. Two drops of tears rolled down his cheeks. This was the first time Guhan saw the young Heaven Covering Jiandi cry.
"Child, I don't have time to hide anymore. I have something important to tell you. Listen up!"
Just like in all television dramas and novels, those heavily injured people would say a long list of last words before they died. Yi Yun began to say a long list of last words.
"From now on, Yi Qing, you will be the fifteenth generation Tribal Chief of the Zongzi tribe. From today onwards, even if you are alone, you must continue our Zongzi tribe. Promise me, can you?"
"Yes, I promise you, Tribal Chief!" Yi Qing nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Alright, I'll tell you again. Actually, I have hidden the Zongzi tribe's savings at xx, xx, xx locations. There is wealth and food that we have accumulated over a hundred years. It is enough for you to revive our Zongzi tribe!"
The first time Yi Yun met Guhan, he had said that the half a vat of flour was their remaining rations. He had tricked Yi Tian's food out of it. Who would have thought that they had three secret treasures?
Upon careful thought, this was very normal. Without this cunning rabbit's wisdom, the Zongzi tribe would not have lasted for two hundred years.
"There's one last thing …" The Tribal Chief's last breath sure took a long time. After explaining two things, there was one last thing.
"Actually, there's one thing I've been hiding from you … Cough Cough …" Yi Yun spat out a mouthful of blood. "Your mother is not only your mother, she is also my daughter. I am actually your grandfather!
Because of some reasons, I can't acknowledge you. I can only secretly take care of you. Please forgive this useless grandfather of mine. "Alright, it was beginning to develop into a family ethics drama.
"I know!
I know!
I knew long ago!
Without grandfather's care, I, Yi Qing, would have long died in the desert. "Yi Qing nodded desperately.
"Actually, there's one more thing I've been hiding from you … Cough Cough …" Yi Yun spat out another mouthful of blood. "Your mother did not disappear. She was sucked into the Demon Palace." Yi Yun said another piece of heavy news.
"Mother!"
Upon hearing the news of his mother, Yi Qing was somewhat excited. "Grandfather, don't worry. I am now a sword wielder. I will definitely storm into the Demon Palace and find my mother!"
"Alright, now I can die in peace!" Yi Yun slowly closed his eyes in Yi Qing's embrace.
Two drops of hot tears rolled down Yi Qing's face, dripping onto Yi Yun's face … Then, Yi Yun's eternally closed eyes suddenly opened.
"Sorry, there's one more thing I forgot to say!"
Yi Yun, who refused to say the last sentence, grabbed Yi Qing with one hand and extended his other hand towards Guhan. "Lord Guhan, can I invite you over?"
"Me?"
Although Guhan did not understand why the grandfather and granddaughter would ask him to come along, perhaps it was a requirement of the plot. Thinking silently, Guhan walked to Yi Yun's side and grabbed Yi Yun's skeleton-like hand.
"Lord Guhan, this old man has a presumptuous request. I hope Lord Guhan will not reject it!"
Yi Yun looked at Gu Han with eyes filled with hope. According to the normal progression of the plot, Gu Han naturally would not reject the words of an elder who was about to die.
Is our story going to go according to the normal plot?
Of course it will!!!
Guhan held Yi Yun's hand tightly. "Chieftain Yi Yun, don't worry. As long as it's within Guhan's capabilities, Guhan will definitely do it."
Next would be a new plot mission!
Guhan guessed that the game's plot was always like this. Next would be a new plot mission for Guhan.
"Lord Guhan, don't worry. This matter, Lord Guhan will definitely be able to do it!"
Yi Yun said with a smile. "Lord Guhan, from today onwards, I will entrust Yi Qing to Lord Guhan!"
"Chieftain Yi Yun, don't worry. Yi Qing is like my disciple. I will definitely teach him well and make him a strong sword wielder!"
Guhan thought Yi Yun was going to say something, but it turned out to be a cliché of entrusting an orphan. If not for the dungeon's plot, if not for the fact that Yi Qing was a young Jiandi, Guhan would not have agreed to take care of such a burden. He could not even take care of Qingpin.
"Wrong, wrong!" Yi Yun shook his head and kept saying wrong, wrong.
Guhan did not understand. Wasn't Yi Yun going to entrust him to take care of Yi Qing?
"Lord Guhan, I am not asking you to be Yi Qing's master … Cough …" Yi Yun continued to vomit blood. "I hope that Yi Qing can become your wife … Yi Qing is now a sword wielder, so he should be worthy of Lord Guhan!"
"What the hell!!!
What the hell is this? "
"What the hell!!!
What the hell is this? "
The first "What the hell" was said by Guhan. Even with Guhan's calm personality, he was shocked. What situation was this? Wasn't Yi Qing a young man?
Why was he marrying him?
He was Heaven Covering Jiandi!
It was clearly written in countless history books that he was a man. He was a man!
The second "What the hell" was said by Yi Tian. She burst out of her scabbard and transformed into a sword maiden, appearing beside Guhan.
From the looks of it, Heaven Covering Jiandi's sword maiden did not know that her sword wielder was a woman.
"Grandfather, what did you say?" Yi Qing's face blushed … What the hell, could it be that she was really a girl?
"Heh heh …" Yi Yun chuckled and with a tilt of his head, he died. This time, Yi Yun was really dead. Guhan felt his pulse and he could not be more dead.
"Grandfather!"
While Yi Qing was hugging Yi Yun and crying, Gu Han pulled Yi Tian to a place far enough away.
"What's the situation?
Yi Tian, answer me honestly. Is Heaven Covering Jiandi really a girl? "
Guhan really could not believe that Heaven Covering Jiandi was actually a girl. This was because not only was Heaven Covering Jiandi a boy in all historical records, he was also a married man. He even had descendants living in this world.
"How would I know? I always thought he was a man. He always dressed as a man. He didn't look like a woman at all!"
Yi Tian's expression was even weirder than Guhan's. She could not accept this fact, "He always says he is a man on any occasion, but he is clearly a man!"
"Then let me ask you. Have you ever seen him naked?
For example, when he is bathing. "
"No."
"Can't you feel whether he has that thing in his body or not in his Zifu?"
"No, the Purple Mansion does not have that function …"
"Then when he sees a beauty, does his body have a lustful reaction?"
"He never looks at beauties."
"Then what about his wife? Doesn't he have a wife?
He even has a child. "
"I don't know … I don't know … After he became an Empyrean sword, he used Green Hair Sever to remove the sword scars on me. This is why I hate him for life!!!!"
