Ling Xiao patted Xia Xuanxuan's head and said, "Of course I know Xuanxuan will always be a good girl!"
Xia Xuanxuan said with dissatisfaction, "Big brother, I'm not a child, I'm a woman!"
After saying that, she purposely stuck out her chest to show her opposition.
Ling Xiao smiled and did not say anything else. In his eyes, Xia Xuanxuan was a child, a little sister.
At this moment, Dugu Jin's voice sounded, "Yes, my little girl has grown up, it's time for her to get married!"
"Grandpa, I've decided not to marry for the rest of my life. I want to serve you for the rest of my life!" Xia Xuanxuan jumped to Dugu Jin's side and held his hand.
After hearing her big brother's words, she also knew that she was not filial enough to her grandfather.
So from this moment on, she had to be filial to her grandfather and not let her big brother say anything bad about her.
Dugu Jin looked at Xia Xuanxuan with a kind expression and said, "How can this be? When a girl grows up, of course she needs to find a good cultivation partner. That way, she won't be lonely in her long life!"
Then he looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Kid, do you think my Xuanxuan is beautiful?"
Ling Xiao replied, "Is there a need to ask?
Of course my little sister is beautiful. If she were to find a husband, who knows how many young men would fight to be her cultivation partner? "
Dugu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect Ling Xiao to be so honest. From his words, he only treated his granddaughter as a sister and not as a cultivation partner. He thought to himself, Could it be that this kid is looking down on the little girl?
Or is he looking down on our Wan Shou Alliance?
Dugu Jin said with some anger, "Haven't you thought about marrying Xuanxuan?
She is the goddess of our Wan Shou Alliance. Even the youngest godly medicine master of the Yan Clan wants to marry her. Getting her is equivalent to getting the support of our Wan Shou Alliance and the protection of the Vermillion Bird! "
Xia Xuanxuan stamped her feet in embarrassment and said, "Grandpa, what are you saying? I'm ignoring you!"
Then, she glanced at Ling Xiao and ran away.
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa, you don't need to test me. Xuanxuan is indeed a good woman, but in my heart, she's just a little sister. I can take care of her for the rest of her life, but I don't want to ruin her life. I already have a lot of women."
Ling Xiao spoke very plainly and sincerely, without the slightest pretense!
To be honest, Xia Xuanxuan had a good background, Tenbin was a good place, and she even had the protection of a divine beast. However, why would Ling Xiao force himself to be with Xia Xuanxuan just because of these?
He already had a lot of love debts, and he didn't want to get involved in too many entanglements. Moreover, he wanted to maintain this pure sibling relationship with Xia Xuanxuan forever.
Dugu Jin could tell the truth from Ling Xiao's words, and he couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao in a higher light. Then, he no longer discussed this topic and changed the topic, "Have you refined the one thousand Divine Pills I asked for?"
Ling Xiao smiled and handed a spatial ring to Dugu Jin, "They're all inside. Grandpa, please inspect them!"
Dugu Jin took the spatial ring and scanned it with his divine sense. Indeed, there were a thousand Divine Pills stored inside one by one.
"Not bad, you've got some skills." Dugu Jin rarely praised Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao responded, "It's passable. Then did Grandpa ask Xuanxuan to get me a Genesis Stone?"
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry. The Genesis Stone isn't easy to get!" Dugu Jin put away the spatial ring and revealed a sly smile.
How could Ling Xiao not worry?
He was waiting to save someone!
"Grandpa, you can't burn the bridge after crossing the river!" Ling Xiao said with a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Did I?
Is it because you haven't fulfilled your conditions yet? "Dugu Jin showed an innocent expression.
Ling Xiao suppressed his anger and said, "Didn't we agree? As long as Xuanxuan gets the Genesis Stone, you'll accompany me to Tianyuan Region. At that time, you'll get a lot of Supreme Divine Pills!"
He muttered in his heart, "This old man isn't going back on his words, right?"
"Tianyuan Region is too far. My old legs can't walk anymore. I won't accompany you!" Dugu Jin said shamelessly.
"Grandpa, if you have any other requests, just say it!" Ling Xiao said in a low voice. He was angry. He had cheated him of a thousand Divine Pills and now he wanted to go back on his word!
Dugu Jin laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's not that I won't let Xuanxuan get the Genesis Stone for you. I just want to change the conditions." He paused for a while and said, "The future of our Wan Shou Alliance depends on Xuanxuan. It's just that this child is very naive. Besides interacting with spiritual beasts, she doesn't want to do anything else. I'm afraid that one day, when I'm gone, the Wan Shou Alliance won't be able to protect the Wan Shou Alliance!"
Ling Xiao didn't interrupt him. He just waited for Dugu Jin to continue, "Now, I want to find a reliable ally who can help Xuanxuan at the critical moment. It's the same as helping our Wan Shou Alliance. Originally, when the Yan Clan came to propose marriage, I wanted to test Yan Yang's character. Basically, I'm satisfied with him. However, I didn't expect that he wasn't what I wanted. Today, the Wan Shou Alliance and the Yan Clan have become enemies. Our Wan Shou Alliance is in a more dangerous situation. I hope that you can promise me that if Xuanxuan is in danger and our Wan Shou Alliance is in danger, you must help her and our Wan Shou Alliance. As long as you promise me, I will let Xuanxuan get the Genesis Stone for you!"
Dugu Jin said solemnly. He didn't look like he was joking.
He had been thinking about this for a long time.
He was a supreme Incipient God Realm expert with an endless lifespan. However, even so, he couldn't guarantee that he could live forever.
Since ancient times, there were many supreme Incipient God Realm experts. However, why didn't they live forever? Why did they disappear in the long river of history?
It was because after reaching the supreme realm, there was a battlefield that belonged to the supreme experts. They weren't willing to be left alone. They wanted to continue to pursue stronger powers and realms. During this process, it was inevitable that they would clash with other supreme experts. It was normal for them to fall.
Take the Wan Shou Alliance and the Yan Clan as an example. If the Yan Clan really didn't want to give up and declare war on the Wan Shou Alliance, the supreme experts couldn't stay out of it. A battle to the death was unavoidable!
Thus, Dugu Jin had to consider for Xia Xuanxuan. After all, Xia Xuanxuan was too naive. He was afraid that she would be deceived in the future.
Today, he didn't have a better choice. He could only choose Ling Xiao to be Xia Xuanxuan's guardian.
Ling Xiao's power didn't seem strong enough. However, he was young, outstanding in Tenbin, and he had a good relationship with Xia Xuanxuan. Xia Xuanxuan admired him from the bottom of her heart.
Moreover, he had seen Ling Xiao's fighting power. He also knew that Ling Xiao had the ability to become a supreme expert. Thus, Ling Xiao was the most ideal candidate in his mind.
He would rather give up on the Supreme God Pellet for Ling Xiao's promise. It had to be said that Dugu Jin's foresight and courage were extraordinary.
Ling Xiao replied without thinking: "Old Master, you should know that I saved Xuan Xuan's life when she was very young. Because we were in the same boat, I pitied her and sympathized with her. Originally, I had decided to protect her as she grew up and treat her like my own sister. However, you interfered and took her away from me. I don't blame Old Master, in fact, I'm glad that Xuan Xuan had such an opportunity. Otherwise, I don't know how much suffering she would have suffered if she had stayed by my side. Even now, when I see her again, I still see her as my sister, as the closest person to me. Of course, I have the obligation to do my best to protect her and love her. However, I'm not a member of the Wan Shou Alliance, and my personal strength is still weak. I don't have the right to say that I can protect the Wan Shou Alliance. So, I can only agree to half of your conditions!"
What a joke. Trying to tie his life to the Wan Shou Alliance with a piece of Genesis Stone? Ling Xiao wasn't that stupid!
However, he loved Xuan Xuan from the bottom of his heart. If she were to be in danger in the future, he would only save her!
Dugu Jin narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a while before saying: "You're right. You don't have the right to protect the Wan Shou Alliance now, but that doesn't mean that you won't have the right in the future. Of course, I won't force you. You just have to protect Xuan Xuan from being bullied for me."
Dugu Jin didn't force Ling Xiao, but he wasn't unhappy at all. Instead, he thought to himself proudly, Xuan Xuan is the Wan Shou Alliance's Holy Lady. She will definitely be with the Wan Shou Alliance. If something happens to her in the future, can you bear to stay out of it?
Hehe!
Dugu Jin was also an astute person. In the end, Ling Xiao was still one step behind!
After Ling Xiao and Dugu Jin came to an agreement, Ling Xiao was extremely happy. The Fire Genesis Stone would soon be in his hands.
However, Dugu Jin's words poured a bucket of cold water over Ling Xiao's head once again.
"The Genesis Stone is in the Nirvana Space. Although the Divine Beast Vermillion Bird can come and go as it pleases, it won't be easy to obtain the Genesis Stone. It's best if you can accompany Xuan Xuan. Whether you can obtain it or not will depend on your luck!" Dugu Jin said and left.
"I have to enter the Nirvana Space?" Ling Xiao said gloomily.
That was one of the Eight Great Forbidden Areas, and it was ranked third. Anyone who entered it would definitely die.
If he had no other choice, Ling Xiao didn't want to enter the Nirvana Space!
Ling Xiao found Xia Xuanxuan and told her what Dugu Jin had told him.
"Grandpa, it's dangerous to get some broken stones, but it's not impossible. Why must big brother go with us?" Xia Xuanxuan pouted and said unwillingly.
"Why?
Is the Genesis Stone hard to get?
XuanXuan, tell me honestly, isn't it dangerous? "Ling Xiao asked seriously.
Xia Xuanxuan could only answer, "The Nirvana Space is dangerous. I've only gone in with Auntie Que once, and I almost couldn't get out. But big brother, don't worry. With Auntie Que bringing me in, I can definitely get you another Genesis Stone!"
Ling Xiao was in a dilemma!
From Xia Xuanxuan's tone, it seemed like the Nirvana Space was dangerous!
Even if it was the Vermillion Bird's residence, there were existences that it was afraid of!
Should he enter or not? Ling Xiao hesitated!
