Chapter 16: A New Relationship

/Outside Fran Town, Fog Hidden Forest/

In the morning, the forest is quiet. When the first rays of morning light shine through the mist, the long path ushers in a warm morning.

The birds sang happily on the branches of the trees, and greeted the morning with great joy.

The morning sun isn't as hot as the afternoon sun, and when the sun hits the skin, there's not a hint of burning.

After a night's rest, Long Jie and Lei Miao set foot on the road to 'Milan Town' very early, and the two of them were walking on this quiet path.

Long Jie was dressed in a brown-red power suit and walked on the left side, while Lei Miao was dressed in a white power suit and walked on the right side, and the two walked side by side towards the front.

"We're leaving for 'Milan Town' today, when do we expect to arrive?" asked Long Jie as he walked, his long brown-red hair draped over his shoulders, making him look extraordinarily mature.

"If it's fast, it can be reached in a day and a half, and if it's slow, it will take at least two days. Lei Miao replied, her long white hair was also draped over her shoulders, and the white folding fan in her hand kept beating, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a humble gentleman.

"Lei Miao?" Long Jie asked in a low voice,

"What's wrong?" Lei Miao wondered,

"I'm really sorry to have misunderstood you before........" Long Jie said ashamedly,

"Huh....... What shall I do...... That's it.... It's okay, isn't this misunderstanding all solved...... Why do you still care about it?" Lei Miao said with a smile,

"No, I always feel that the misunderstanding made our Long Mansion misunderstand you for ten years, and I really don't want to go......." Long Jie shook his head and said,

"Hehe, it's okay, it's all in the past.... Why are you still mentioning it....." Lei Miao comforted,

"Well..... Alright!" replied Long Jie,

"But, then again, do you believe that we are not the only mortals in this world?"

"Well..... Oh, yes..... I really didn't expect this world to be so complicated......" Long Jie sighed,

"Hehe, of course, the world is inherently complicated....... This is true even if only mortals are in this world....... It's like our previous misunderstanding................." Lei Miao said,

"Yes......" Long Jie sighed again,

"Hey.... That's right..... Have you ever thought that we would become a member of the 'gods'?" Lei Miao touched the water sword on his waist and asked,

"Uh..... I really haven't thought about that........ Wait a minute.... Why do you ask?" Long Jie wondered,

"Hehe, I'm just guessing...... Do you want to.... You have an artifact on us, and I have an artifact...... Maybe in the end, we can really become a member of the divine realm. Lei Miao explained,

"Having an artifact doesn't necessarily mean you can become a member of the divine realm...... What's more, we can't even defeat a demon with our spiritual power, how can we become a member of the God Realm........" Long Jie wondered, he didn't think he would become a member of the God Realm, but the God Realm really chose him.

"Hehe, anything is possible!" Lei Miao smiled again,

"........" Long Jie was silent about Lei Miao's reply, and he was still skeptical of what Lei Miao said.

The two of them walked slowly in the direction of 'Milan Town'.

/Heavenly Divine Realm, Temple/

The white mist continued to hover in this canyon, and in the desolate canyon, the still muddy roads were filled with the fragrance of the earth after the rain. Drops of dew, clinging to the golden temple, shine with a crystal light source in the faint morning light.

The temple is located right in the middle of this canyon.

At the door of the main hall sat two golden lion statues, the two lions still had golden wings on their bodies, and both lions maintained a roaring posture from beginning to end, and their fierce eyes made those who walked into this hall tremble.

Above the main hall, eight thrones are lined up, two of which are in the center of the main hall, one is a seat carved from gold, the other is a seat carved from jade, and the remaining six are made of mahogany, divided into two columns and located on the left and right sides of the hall.

Behind the splendid hall, a huge garden is presented in front of you, and the garden is full of flowers, all of which are full of beautiful flowers, all of which make people praise the beautiful scenery.

In the garden, a study is located in the southwest corner, and this study is not actually a study, but the master's dormitory.

In the dormitory, a man in a white robe was sitting next to the bed, his long light white hair was scattered behind him, and his face was very sad.

Lying on the bed was a short-haired man in white civilian clothes, who was the Angel of Peace who was in full swing fighting with the Demon Lord in the Divine Tomb, and also the owner of this temple, the 'Holy Master' Xuantian Zero.

"Where am I?" Xuan Tianling slowly opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling and asked,

"This is the 'Temple,' ......." replied Garnock,

"How long have I been unconscious?" asked Xuan Tianling, sitting up against the wall,

"It's been a long time since you fought the Demon Lord........ Ganok explained.

"Why am I unconscious?"

"You used too much spiritual power, causing your body to collapse, and you fainted........"

"I see...... I thought I was dead......"

"I really feel weird....... "Garnok wondered,

"Well?....... What do you mean......" Xuan Tianling looked at him with a very puzzled look,

"How did you end up tied with Gutins?"

"Ugh....... I don't know that........ It seems that he has already used part of his spiritual power when he broke through the seal, so he can cancel it out with my spiritual power......." Xuantian Zero guessed,

"That's the only way to go....." Garnok nodded as well,

"Garnok, do you feel incredible?" asked Xuantian Zero,

"What do you mean?"

"That is to say, after Gutins broke through the seal, he didn't wait for his spiritual power to recover, and went to the Divine Tomb alone to take those three chess pieces that were insignificant to him....... Don't you think there's something wrong with that?"

"You mean to say that Gutins' purpose is not to save people, but to have another purpose?"

"I think so..... You see.... The Divine Tomb was you, Proud Soul and Proud Soul, the three of you were stationed together, if Gutins was here to save people, then he should have killed you and Proud Soul first, but unexpectedly he didn't, but killed Aotian first..."

"There's a point in hearing you say that.... So what is his purpose.......

"In my opinion, his real purpose is not to save people, but to stall for time......"

"Procrastinating?"

"Yes, that's right!" Xuan Tianling said in an accentuated tone,

"Why do you say that?" wondered Garnock,

"Before I went to the Divine Tomb, I sensed a strong shock in Aotian's lifeline, which you should know, after all, there is a 'life induction' between the 'Seven Disciples of the Holy Law' and the 'Holy Master', and it is not just him, the lifeline of the Water Angel Geraint has also been shaken, I thought that the two of them were just in a little trouble, but I quickly denied this opinion, because, in less than a while, Aotian's lifeline completely stopped fluctuating, that is, Aotian was already dead at that time........”

"You mean to say that the Demon Realm is attacking multiple places at the same time, but we are afraid that the Divine Realm will send powerful characters to obstruct it, so Gutins came to the Divine Tomb to attract our attention, thus playing a role in delaying time?"

"That's right......"

"So what is it that deserves Guttins to stall for time himself?"

"I don't know about this, I think it should be Long Yan and Geraint who are in trouble. ”

"Long Yan and Geraint?" said Garnok, puzzled,

"Yes, before, the Elder ordered the Angel of Fire and the Angel of Water to carry out a mission in the Nether Realm together, but I don't know exactly what it is. ”

"Oh, I see..... What about the two of them?"

"I've messaged them..... I guess I'm on my way here by now. ”

"On the way here?...... Wait a minute..... Xuantian Zero, when did you send the message, why don't I know?"

"Huh..... I took time out of my game against Guttins......"

"Ugh....... Yours is the case... In such a dangerous moment, you can still find time to send a 'divine message'...... You're amazing!" Garnok gave a thumbs up, expressing his admiration,

"Huh...... Where, where...... However, there is one more thing!" Xuan Tianling smiled, and then said seriously,

"What's the matter?"

"I need you to do me a favor!"

"What's the busy, let's talk!"

"Inform the rest of the 'saints' and have them come to the 'temple' in three days to convene an urgent 'council of the saints'......."

"What do you say....... 'Discussion of the Saints'?"

"Yes....."

"Isn't it..... That's a meeting that only happens once in 300 years...... You're going to ......"

"Alright..... You just say you can't help it....."

"Uh...... All right...... I'll help, but you'll have to involve me and Proud Soul..... How?" Garnok bargained,

“......... Good...... No problem!" Xuan Tianling nodded,

"Wait.... Why do you want me to notify you one by one?"

"What, you don't want to help?" Xuan Tianling asked again,

"Okay....... I'll help!" Garnok said angrily,

With that, Garnok got up and tidied up his clothes and prepared to leave, but at this moment, he saw Xuantian Zero also get down from the bed and began to arrange his clothes.

"Where are you going?" asked Garnock,

"I have to go to the 'Ming Palace'......." Xuan Tianling said,

"What are you doing there, you've been living in seclusion for a hundred years, why do you suddenly remember to go to that place?"

"I don't want to go either..... But I have to go .... Because, Aotian's death, I am also responsible..."Xuantian Ling said as he walked towards the door,

Ganok looked at Xuantian Ling's departing back, shook his head, and sighed, he had no idea what was going on in the heart of this so-called Angel of Peace.......

Xuantian was also thinking in his heart as he walked, and gradually, he clenched his hands...............
