Although Thélon didn't mention anything about Bai Yuu, Qinchuan knew that the Tian people wouldn't let Bai Yuu go so easily. Therefore, before going to the Tian people, he had to entrust Bai Yuu to someone he could trust.
"Sharmila, can you take Bai Yuu to Area 5 and let her return to the Hope first?" Qinchuan looked at Sharmila. "She doesn't like her current body. In fact, she's very uncomfortable."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Sharmila agreed almost without hesitation. "Okay, no problem. I'll take Bai Yuu to Factory 9 now."
Thélon, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard Qinchuan and Sharmila's conversation. He glanced at Qinchuan and then at Sharmila, but in the end, he didn't stop Sharmila from agreeing.
After Sharmila left with Bai Yuu, Qinchuan asked Night Serenity to leave with them. He also warned Night Serenity not to leave Bai Yuu's side under any circumstances, and not to let any unknown people take the Hope or Bai Yuu away.
When she heard Qinchuan's message, Night Serenity unconsciously glanced at Thélon. She knew that the reason Qinchuan asked her to protect Bai Yuu was to prevent the Tian people from taking Bai Yuu away. However, she didn't think Qinchuan had a way to protect Bai Yuu. Even though Qinchuan had just killed two third-level experts from the Void Empire, this wasn't enough to scare the Tian people.
However, before the matter was settled, Night Serenity would seriously obey Qinchuan's order and protect Bai Yuu.
After Sharmila left with Bai Yuu and Night Serenity, only Qinchuan and Thélon were left at the scene. Thélon looked around and said to Qinchuan, "I've investigated you and know a lot about you."
Qinchuan slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "So what do you want to say?"
"I'm curious about how you caused the Dao runes of the Eternal Forest and the Volcano Star to lose power. What benefits do you get from doing this?"
Thélon looked at Qinchuan with subtle eyes and said, "I couldn't figure it out before, but now I understand. You were able to fight and kill two third-level experts from the Void Empire when you were only at the middle stage of the Dongxu Realm. You relied on the benefits you got from the Dao runes, right?"
Qinchuan wasn't surprised by Thélon's words. When he saw the Tian people coming, he was prepared to expose his identity. Now that Thélon pointed out his reliance, he just smiled and replied, "If you think so, it's not a big problem."
Seeing that Qinchuan didn't quibble, Thélon thought highly of Qinchuan and said, "Let's go to the first zone."
...
The first zone was not only the core area of the Tian people, but also the core area of the whole Stansos. Even the members of the Tian people had to apply for permission to enter the first zone. Only the core members like Thélon and Shamir could enter the first zone freely. Under Thélon's guidance, Qinchuan also enjoyed the treatment that only the core members of the Tian people could enjoy. He entered the first zone almost without any check.
Qinchuan originally thought that the first zone would have a large number of magnificent palaces, surrounded by mountains and rivers, which would be magnificent. However, in fact, the environment of the first zone was very primitive, with grasslands and mountains, gurgling streams, singing birds and fragrant flowers. It was beautiful and natural.
Qinchuan looked at the scene in front of him with some surprise. He asked Thélon, "Is this your garden or hunting ground?"
"No, what you see is the whole picture of the first zone. We Tian people have lived on this land since we were born, and there is no exception even now."
Thélon proudly said to Qinchuan, "Although the outside world is prosperous, beautiful, and full of high-tech, in my heart, those things can't even compare to a handful of soil here."
Qinchuan laughed and said, "Indeed, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as a dog's kennel."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, the smile on Thélon's face suddenly froze. He turned to look at Qinchuan and felt that Qinchuan was scolding him, but he didn't have any conclusive evidence.
"Let's go. The Elders are already waiting for you."
Thélon decided not to make trouble for Qinchuan for the time being. He would take Qinchuan to meet the Elders first, and then talk about other things after the business was done.
When Thélon took Qinchuan to the center of the grassland and saw a group of old men roasting whole lambs around a bonfire, Qinchuan was greatly shocked, because the nine old men present were all overlords in the Form Synthesis Stage!
However, judging from their behavior, they were like a group of shepherds, full of smiles and talking loudly. They didn't have the meticulous appearance of the otherworldly experts that he had imagined at all.
"Are you surprised?"
Thélon saw the surprised look on Qinchuan's face and said lightly, "We Tian people have always pursued nature and freedom. We are never bound by rules and regulations. This is the real Tian people."
"I'm really surprised. They are completely different from the Tian people in my imagination."
Qin Chuan subtly glanced at the Celestial Clan elders who were eating mutton and drinking wine. He said to Tai Long, "Only extraordinary existences like your Celestial Clan have the qualifications to pursue such a return to nature."
Thélon smiled and did not respond to Qinchuan. He took two steps forward and said to the nine Elders who were eating meat, "Elders, I'm back. I've brought Qinchuan with me."
Hearing Thélon's words, the nine Elders put down the meat in their hands and looked at Qinchuan, who was standing beside Thélon. Qinchuan saluted the nine Elders in a neither servile nor overbearing manner and said, "Greetings, I'm Qinchuan. I'm your junior."
"Not bad. You are somewhat similar to the young hero in my imagination."
The gray-haired Fourth Elder smiled and seemed to be quite satisfied with Qinchuan.
"Is it this boy who caused the loss of power of the Taoist Symbols in the Eternal Forest and Volcano Star?"
The Third Elder, who had always been strict, looked deeply at Qinchuan and said indifferently, "How dare you stand in front of us after doing such a thing?"
Hearing the Third Elder's words, Qin Chuan pursed his lips and replied: "Senior, this junior has no choice but to do such a thing. I have no intention of becoming enemies with the Tian Clan."
"Haha, if you had killed our Tian people's guards, you wouldn't have the chance to stand in front of us today."
The Sixth Elder laughed and said, "Boy, we're very interested in your ability to absorb the power of the Taoist Symbols. Can you tell us about it?"
Qinchuan said frankly, "Sorry, it's a secret of mine. I can't tell you."
Thélon saw that the topic was getting off-topic, so he interrupted, "Elders, let's ask Qinchuan about the Void Empire first. We can talk about other topics after we finish our business."
