Chapter 18: The Sword King
In a courtyard in the Sword King's Mansion, Yurou was the first to break in, and before she saw anyone, she began to shout: "Grandpa, grandma, Rou'er is here." ”
With Yurou's shout, two old men walked out of the inner room.
Seeing Yurou, both of them were full of smiles, and the old woman even picked up Yurou and pecked her face a few times before saying: "Xiao Yurou, it's been so long to see grandma, grandma wants to kill you." ”
Yurou buried her head in the old woman's arms and said, "Rou'er also misses her grandmother." ”
Yuwei's parents left early, and Yurou has often come to the second elder's house of the Sword King Mansion since she was a child, and the two elders are very doting on Yurou. In the eyes of outsiders, the cold-faced second elder didn't look like an elder at all in front of Yurou, and he smiled all day long.
"Dad, mother. ”
"Lin Xiao greeted his seniors. ”
Mrs. Rain and Lin Xiao came to the courtyard and said.
Although the second elder had never seen Lin Xiao, he had also heard about Xiao Liuzhuang's affairs, and when he saw a young man carrying a giant sword at this moment, he recognized Lin Xiao's identity.
said: "Presumably this is the young man who saved Xiao Yurou, right?"
Mrs. Rain said, "Yes." ”
Lin Xiao said humbly: "Don't dare to be. ”
In terms of seniority, this second elder can also be regarded as Lin Xiao's grandfather.
The second elder approvingly: "Sure enough, the hero is a young man." ”
The second elder of Xiao Liu Zhuangzhong had already been reported, and while he was angry, he also had a great interest in Lin Xiao. A teenager of twelve pairs, slaying demons is like cutting melons, and finally killing demon spirits. Such a record, even in the Great Xing Holy Kingdom, is very rare.
In addition, according to reports, Lin Xiao was a swordsman, but Lin Xiao did not use a sword from beginning to end. The second elder was a kendo master, and he could see at a glance that Lin Xiao's kendo cultivation was not weak, and there was a faint sword qi flowing between Lin Xiao's eyebrows.
Such a teenager, any force will rush to ask for it. If it weren't for the clan rules of the Sword King Mansion, no disciples with foreign surnames could be recruited, and the second elder really wanted to invite Lin Xiao to join the Sword King Mansion.
The old woman locked the door while holding Yurou in her arms, and said, "The Sword King invited us to dinner today, so you should go with you." ”
Mrs. Rain replied, "Yes. ”
Obviously, Mrs. Rain has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and there are no accidents. The second elder is the younger brother of the Sword King, and the relationship between the two naturally goes without saying.
Lin Xiao's heart tightened, and his heartbeat accelerated in vain. To be able to meet the Sword King so soon, Lin Xiao was not ready.
For this grandfather who he had never seen before, Lin Xiao had some expectations and some fear in his heart.
Following the second elder and the others, Lin Xiao was restless all the way, and he was in a trance in front of him.
The attentive Mrs. Yu noticed Lin Xiao's abnormality, slowed down, and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiao was taken aback by Mrs. Yu's sudden approach, and said hesitantly: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm just a little nervous when I think I'm about to meet the world-famous Sword King senior." ”
The second elder smiled: "Young man don't need to be nervous, the Sword King is not so scary." ”
Lin Xiao laughed a few times dryly, and exhaled deeply, slightly relieving the tension in his heart.
"It's here. ”
As the second elder spoke, Lin Xiao's heart became nervous again, and his cheeks flushed, like a daughter-in-law who had just entered the door.
"Grandfather of the Sword King. ”
Entering the house, Yurou's voice sounded first.
"Xiaoyurou. ”
The white-haired old man in the room saw Yurou, smiled, and took Yurou from the old woman, his face full of doting.
The Sword King was about the same age as the Second Elder, but he looked a lot older. With a full head of white hair and an old face, he looks like a dying old man at first glance. With such a peaceful old man, it is difficult for people to associate him with the Sword King.
But no one dared to ignore this old man, hiding an explosive energy in this old man. As early as ten years ago, the Sword King broke through the Martial King and became the Martial Emperor. In the past ten years, the Sword King has not made another move, and his strength is unknown. But if you guess with the talent of the Sword King, I am afraid that I already have the strength of a fourth-order Martial Emperor now.
Seeing the Sword King's doting on Yurou, Lin Xiao's heart inexplicably gave birth to a touch of jealousy, which should have belonged to him.
Mrs. Yu and the others also saluted one by one, and the status of the Sword King in the Sword King's Mansion was unparalleled.
"Boom. ”
Lin Xiao suddenly knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said, "Lin Xiao greets the predecessor of the Sword King." ”
Lin Xiao's actions startled everyone in the room, no one thought that such a strange young man would give such a big gift to the Sword King.
The Sword King was even more confused, he had never seen this young man, and said, "This is ......"
The second elder explained, "This young man saved Yurou. I still remember that I told you yesterday that Yurou was besieged by the demons in Shiwang City, and thanks to this young man who rescued Yurou, he was able to save the day. ”
"Oh. The Sword King remembered, put down Yurou, stepped forward to help Lin Xiao and said, "Please get up." ”
Lin Xiao got up slowly and looked at the old man in front of him, with a lot of thoughts. How much he wanted to tell the Sword King his identity, the word "grandfather" ran to the tip of his throat and was swallowed by Lin Xiao.
After seeing Lin Xiao's appearance clearly, the Sword King was startled and said, "Ying'er." ”
Lin Xiao's appearance is indeed a bit like Li Yuying.
The second elder put his hand on the shoulder of the Sword King, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I know that you have missed Ying'er all these years, and I also secretly sent people to the kingdom near Daxing Kingdom to find Ying'er, but there is no family surnamed Li in this radius of hundreds of miles. ”
Lin Xiao knew that his father was afraid that the wrath of the Sword King would affect the Lin family, so he did not report his real name and assumed the name of Lifan.
Lin Xiao didn't expect that the Sword King would send people to look for his mother near the Daxing Holy Kingdom over the years, and it seemed that the Sword King still cared about his mother very much in his heart.
The Sword King calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, lost his previous happiness, seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and said, "I know, I don't know how Ying'er has been outside all these years. It's all my fault, I was too pushy at the beginning. ”
At this time, an old woman came out of the back room and said, "It's all here, let's eat." ”
"Mother-in-law. ”
Yurou's call revealed the identity of the person who came, and this person was the wife of the Sword King.
Lin Xiao didn't say his identity on the spot, although he knew the Sword King's mind at this moment, and no longer blamed Li Yuying, but Lin Xiao suddenly had an idea to surprise the Sword King on the Sword King's birthday tomorrow.
At the banquet, everyone talked and laughed together, and the second elder's family also deliberately avoided Li Yuying's words, so as not to cause the sadness of the Sword King and his wife.
They knew that the white hair on the second old man's head had been born because he missed Li Yuying all these years, and the two of them often looked into the distance over the years and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Otherwise, with the cultivation of the Sword King, he would not have gray hair at the age of 100.
Lin Xiao was also full of emotion, if he let his mother know all this, he was afraid that he would have returned to the Sword King's Mansion long ago.
Seeing the white hair of the Sword King and his wife, Lin Xiao felt a pain in his heart. In his heart, he eagerly looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow, when he told the Sword King his true identity.
