Charlie followed Neil, who was forcibly pulled over, and Neil led her up to the second floor to the door of the first room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The door was ajar, and there were faint hints of ** inside, Neil stretched out his finger and pointed inside, and tilted his head slightly.

Neil stares at Charlie's face and tells Charlie, "He's inside." ”

Xia Li covered her mouth and subconsciously stepped back, Neil did not let go of the hand holding her, but deepened the strength of the grip and held it tighter.

"Don't run away, you're already here. ”

Hearing Neil's words, Xia Li showed a complicated expression and even shed tears.

"I ......"

"I don't know what I'm supposed to say......"

"You have to face it. ”

"I might lose my mind, I don't know what I'm going to do. ”

Neil looked at her face and said in a firm tone, "I'll go in with you, I'll accompany you." ”

His eyes were also full of determination, Xia Li looked into Neil's eyes, and felt some encouragement in her heart, but she was still hesitating in her heart, she needed courage, she needed strong courage to push open the hidden door in front of her.

Actually, she is not as strong as Neil.

As she hesitated, Neil spoke again.

"You must go in, I will accompany you, don't worry, Xia Li. ”

Neil continued with words of encouragement.

"Xia Li, you have to believe in yourself, you are here, you can't escape anymore, you really think so in your heart. ”

"Don't lie to yourself, be brave and go inside. Even if something happens, I'll protect you. ”

"Charlie!"

……

After about half an hour, Xia Li finally made up her mind, and she nodded slowly.

"Thank you, Neil. ”

She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Under Neil's gaze, Xia Li pushed the door open with a cautious face, and then, she walked in step by step.

A seated man appears in the field of vision, with his head bowed and motionless, as if he were lifeless. Except for the occasional sound from his mouth that proves he is alive, almost everything on his body is dead, leaving only an empty shell at most.

Xia Li half-crouched down and looked at his face.

The man's gaze was glazed, his eyes were hollow, and nothing was reflected in his pupils, which was a dead look.

This man is too insane to be called a normal life, and may not even be conscious.

Xia Li just looked at him like that, looked at him like that, and didn't move.

She heard a whisper that kept repeating, and he called only one name, which was her mother's name.

"Emily, Emily, Emily......"

Xia Li began to cry, and the tears that condensed into blue began to fall non-stop, and the tears fell to the ground and turned into aqua blue pearls.

"Father's ......"

Perhaps, from the day his mother left, there was a huge irreparable scar in his father's heart, and even he could not be appeased. He has endured and accepted the fact that his mother is not there, but the sadness and sadness in his heart are accumulating more and more, and the wound is not only not healing, but also expanding step by step.

Finally, because of the occasional news that the resurrection was possible, he threw everything he had, including sacrificing his only daughter.

Xia Li cried heartbrokenly, and when the tears fell, the pearls became bigger and bigger, and the color became more and more biased towards the purest blue. She felt very uncomfortable, which could be described as despair, and here she finally realized the feelings of her father, who he had never told him.

For the sake of his mother, his father had to give up the choices he had made, and he must have struggled painfully in his heart.

From a very young age, Xia Li knew that her father was not a cold-blooded person, and during the time when her mother was still there, and when the three of them lived together, her father was always very gentle. When he was sick, on his birthday, when he was happy and when he was in pain, he was by his side, comforting himself with a gentle voice, and accompanying himself with his mother.

Her mother told Xia Li that she was her important treasure.

In order to save his mother, even if there is a glimmer of hope, even if he abandons the daughter that the mother thinks is the most important, at any cost, no matter how much the mother will hate this guy who sold her daughter after she can really live, he will not hesitate and will not regret it.

In order to save his mother, he can even force himself to give up everything and force himself to become indifferent.

Xia Li looked at this guy who kept calling his mother's name, in fact, from the moment his mother left, his heart had left.

Xia Li didn't speak, just cried quietly.

Now, this man is no longer the father she used to know, but a delirious madman.

Neil watched from the side, and saw Xia Li crying like this for the first time, and even tears could turn into round and big pearls.

Neil had seen Charlie sad and crying, and it had never been like this time, and it was the first time Neil had seen something special about the Water Tribe.

(Aqua people only let their tears turn into pearls when they are the saddest)

(Xia Li...... ）

Neil looked at her worriedly, but couldn't speak.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Li put away her tears.

Her face, which was still stained with tears, bloomed with a bright smile.

"Father, I don't hate you, because I understand everything. ”

"Xia Li, are you really ......?" Neil was a little surprised, she recovered so quickly, isn't she still trying to force herself?

"I'm fine, thank you for always being with me, Neil. ”

Charlie turned and was the first to walk out, and when she came to the door, she saw Baker standing next to her.

When Baker saw her come out, and he heard all the words just now, Baker bent down and gave her a hug.

"Xia Li, I thank you for him. ”

Xia Li knew who he was referring to, nodded slightly, and said to Baker, "I'm sorry, Uncle Baker, I've been bothering you to take care of him for the past few years." ”

"It's okay, he's my friend after all, even if it's like this...... What's more, you are Emily's daughter, and I have considered you my own daughter since a long time ago. I have one more wish, would you like to hear about it?"

"Huh?"

"It's good when it really becomes a family, when you and Neil are really together. ”

"This, this, this ......"

Xia Li had just recovered from her grief, and she was a little unable to react to such words.

"Uncle, what are you talking nonsense!!"

Neil also came out, and when he came out, he glared at Baker and craned his neck to glare at Baker.

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously, it's so rare, Neil would be angry like this. ”

"Say it again!!"

Neil glared at Baker.

Staring at this reaction, Baker looked at Neil with a funny expression.

"Yo, Beck, you're scaring them! Neal hasn't really grown up yet, he's still a kid now! In five years, it's almost time!"

The Sword of Light flew in some direction, and according to what it said, it must have seen this scene just now.

"Even Ami, you're here to kick in...... I'm going downstairs!" As if to hide her expression, Xia Li turned around and ran downstairs.

"Hey, Charlie!" Neil tried to chase after him, but as he stepped forward, something in his pocket suddenly gave off an alarming temperature. Neil was stunned for a moment, stopped, and took this thing out, holding it in his hand and even his palms were so hot.

Baker took a look and knew what it was, a long-distance magic item for Neal to connect with the Temple of the Quad.

"Neil, where are you? I've just been in contact with the White Tiger Temple, haven't you arrived at the White Tiger Temple yet?"

Neil heard Kozmo's hurried voice, and was a little strange: "Xia Li and I haven't arrived yet, what's going on?

"You still have a teleportation scroll that goes directly to the Xuanwu Temple, right? Come back to the Xuanwu Temple right away!

"Eh, eh?!! now?!!"

"Nonsense!"

The contact with Kozmo ended, and Neil's face turned the color of bitter melon.

"It's time to crusade against dragons again......"

Neil sighed deeply.

Baker had a little loneliness on his face, some regret, but he had to smile.

"There's no way, Neil, hurry up and pack up and go back to the Xuanwu Temple. ”

"I've just arrived, and I'm about to leave! Forget it, I'll go find Xia Li!"

Neil left, walking down the stairs, and instead of following, the Sword of Light circled around Baker a few times.

"Beck, it's really not easy for you, why don't you accept Dennis's invitation to go to the White Tiger Temple to get a position? With your ability, as well as the relationship between Dylan and Danielle, it is not difficult to find a high position! You will definitely have an easier life than you have now! After all, there are so many familiar old faces there!!

Baker shrugged his shoulders and said to Ami, "Thank you, it's the same everywhere for me." What's more, it's home to those two children. ”

"The White Tiger Temple was once your home!"

Baker shook his head and said nothing more.

******

Neil Charlie hurriedly left the deep grid harbor and used the teleportation scroll to return directly to the Xuanwu Temple, and after the light of the teleportation magic disappeared, their figures appeared in the hall of the temple.

The first thing they saw was Kozmo and Cyrus, who seemed to have been waiting for them all along.

"Where's the dragon?!"

After arriving here through the teleportation magic scroll, Neil ignored the gaze cast around him, and the first thing he said was to Kozmo and them, asking about the dragon.

"You're here, I'm sorry, and I'm telling you a not-so-good news. ”

"What? don't sell it!"

"The dragon is gone, and this time we find a lightning dragon and a shadow dragon hovering over the city of Ridimpa in Jainrut. We prepared for the worst, and our team of knights rushed over as fast as they could, just in time to see the two dragons depart, heading to the northernmost place, where no town was attacked by them. ”

"Damn! You found out earlier, you knew we wouldn't be here! You just ruined a warm family gathering!!"

Neil yelled at them, and Cyrus stepped forward and lifted Neil into the air, his feet completely off the ground.

"What are you doing?!!

Neil struggled as he glared at Cyrus.

"Little ghost, even if you are a dragon slayer knight, you must remember that this is a temple, a sacred temple!
