Chapter 393: The Beginning, the So-Called 'Tradition' (2-in-1 Chapter)
"Hey, boy, you're not going to say yes, are you?" Seeing Li Wenbin's hesitation, Zi Yan's big voice sounded again, and said, "This matter, but it was not easy for the two of them to persuade the clan elders to agree. If it weren't for the fact that they had lived on Earth for a long time and had a certain affection for this place, the clan elders' decision would not have been to cooperate, but to annex it directly. β
He was a little dissatisfied, and said: "For this matter, they have given up a lot, and they have offended many people, you ......"
"Big brother, don't say it." Zishan grabbed his eldest brother and said, "Let's let Brother Li think about it more, after all, this matter is not only related to himself, but also to the fate of countless survivors and the earth, so there is nothing wrong with being cautious." β
The purple shirt on the side looked at Li Wenbin and wanted to speak, but in the end she didn't speak, she lowered her head slightly, looked at her toes, and didn't know what she was thinking.
"I need to know what the specific execution criteria of the 'offensive and defensive alliance' are. Also, how do you ensure that the 'offensive and defensive alliances' are binding? Don't say any oath guarantees, those things are worthless to me. Finally, Li Wenbin spoke.
He threw out the two questions he wanted to know the most in his heart very bluntly, without any cover-up, and he was not tactful because of Zishan and the others.
Hearing this, Zishan immediately replied: "You don't have to worry about this, in fact, the alliance between us is very simple. When you encounter other powerful races, the Purple Jade Clan will help you. And what you need to do is to unify the human evolutionaries on the entire earth as much as possible, and in the final stage of the 'competition', stand on the same front with the Ziyu clan and fight other enemies together. β
"Don't worry, this time, the Ziyu Clan will not ask you earth humans to become a subordinate race, but truly form an alliance to win this 'competition' together, and the final reward will be shared equally between us and us."
Li Wenbin asked: "According to what you said before, isn't there only one race that can become the ultimate winner in the end of every 'competition'?" How can there still be such a thing as an alliance? β
Zishan said solemnly: "That's right, the previous 'competition' did have only one winning race. But this time is different, it is the last and most special one. β
"Since I have said this, I will tell you all the information that I can tell you so far, which can be regarded as a little sincerity of mine."
Zishan thought for a moment and continued: "In the past, 'competition' was basically a big melee between all the participating races, competing with each other for the various opportunities that appeared when the earth was recovering, killing and conquering each other, until there was only one race left, which was the end. β
"But this time is different, this last 'competition' is divided into three stages of competition, each stage will have different tests and rewards, only the race that really goes to the end is the final winner."
"The three stages, the specific content of our Ziyu clan is unknown, but according to the deduction of the clan elder, the first two stages are estimated to be dominated by competing for various opportunities, and only in the end, the major races will really start to fight and decide the real strongest."
"The people of the various races who came to the earth this time are basically all kinds of geniuses with great potential, and their purpose is to obtain the opportunity to create on the earth as much as possible, and then use the geniuses of other races as a stepping stone to step into the 'Forbidden Realm' that has not appeared for hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, this 'competition' is not so much a competition for hegemony as a battle for genius among a hundred races. β
Speaking of this, Zishan looked at Li Wenbin, ready to open his mouth to explain what the 'Divine Forbidden Realm' was, but Li Wenbin waved his hand, signaling that he knew, and he continued.
Zishan was a little curious about how Li Wenbin learned the information of the 'Divine Forbidden Realm', but he didn't ask too much, but continued: "As for the alliance I am talking about, it is another special hidden information of this 'competition', and only races that have participated in the 'competition' three times in a row will know this news. β
"This alliance is not as simple as you and I say, but it will be supervised and constrained by the heaven and earth on this side of the earth, and if any race violates the agreement at the time of the alliance, it will be countered by the rules of heaven and earth. Also, once you have made an alliance with another race, you can't ally with a third race! β
"So, everything you worried about before is superfluous!"
ββ¦β¦β
Li Wenbin listened quietly, constantly integrating and analyzing the words spoken by Zishan in his mind, and after a while, he spoke.
"Last question, why did you choose Earth Evolver? And also...... Why did you choose me? β
This is a question that has always existed in his mind.
It stands to reason that with the strength and heritage of the Earth Evolver, compared with other races, it is definitely more than a little worse, and the Ziyu Clan wants to choose an alliance object, Li Wenbin believes that there will definitely be a race stronger than the Earth that will form an alliance with it.
However, they chose the Earth Evolver and chose themselves, and there must be a hidden secret in this!
"This question ......" Zishan hesitated for a moment, and finally replied: "Actually, I told you the reason a long time ago, because you are the 'host'. β
"'Hosts'?" Hearing Zishan say these three words again, Li Wenbin's heart suddenly moved, and he felt that the fog in his heart had slightly dispersed a lot, but it was still a little hazy.
Generally speaking, the biggest advantage of the host is that the host country has the home advantage and fan support, and sometimes gets some 'home whistles' to take care of it.
According to this understanding, the Earth Evolver is indeed the host of this 'competition', but this host is very miserable.
Home field advantage? Fan power? Inexistent!
On today's earth, countless zombies, mutant beasts, and mutant plants are competing with evolutionaries for dominance of the earth, wanting to replace humans as the new masters of the earth.
As for the 'home whistle', Li Wenbin has not found any trace so far.
Zishan said: "Yes, the earth humans are the native race of the earth, so you are the race that is most in line with the rules and will of the earth. All kinds of fortuitous creations that may arise in the future of the Earth will inevitably be biased in your favor to some extent, and in cooperation with humanity, we may have a greater chance of fortuitous creation. β
"It's a bit realistic, but it's really the only reason we choose to work with humans. As for why I chose you, one is because you are the strongest human with the strongest strength and potential among the humans I have seen so far. β
"As for the second reason,......
Zishan suddenly hesitated, unconsciously glanced at his sister, and then transmitted the following words to Li Wenbin's mind in the form of spiritual transmission.
"Purple Shirt has always recommended you in front of the clan elders, and has paid a certain price for it."
βοΌβ
Li Wenbin was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, and instinctively surprised and asked, "The price?" At what cost? β
This sentence, he did not use the way of spiritual transmission, but said it directly.
Some of the distracted purple shirts were also attracted, raised their little heads, and looked at Li Wenbin and his brother with big eyes suspiciously, flashing with suspicion.
Vaguely, she felt a trace of an unusual aura, so she stared at Zishan, her tone was a little unkind, and asked, "Brother, what did you tell him just now?" β
"I ...... I didn't say anything, huh? Didn't you see it, I didn't even speak just now. Zishan's face turned pale, and he waved his hand again and again.
But the next moment, his movements froze there, because ......
"He said that you have been recommending me as a partner in front of your clan elders, and for this, you have paid some price." Li Wenbin, who was on the side, answered lightly for Zishan, and his expression was very calm.
"What?" Zi Yi was stunned for a moment, then screamed, and looked at his brother fiercely, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
"Zishan, didn't you promise me that you wouldn't tell anyone else about this? How do you ......"
"I ...... I ......" Facing his sister's anger, Zishan glanced at Li Wenbin a little helplessly, and then, he gritted his teeth and said directly: "I'm not thinking about you, you are my sister, I can't watch you sell your happiness for this guy." I don't want to think that in the end, this guy doesn't know everything you do, so that you pay silently without getting any recognition! β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
As soon as Zishan's words came out, not only Zi Shirt was stunned, but even Li Wenbin and Zi Yan on the side were stunned, and even Yun Meng and Wen Ruxue both looked at Zi Shirt in a daze.
Being stared at by so many cool eyes, Zi Shirt suddenly felt uncomfortable, Xiu clenched his fists and kept knocking on his brother's head, shouting, "I'll let you still talk about it...... I'll let you say it back......"
Soon, however, she stopped her movements and could no longer speak. Because Li Wenbin came to the two of them at some point, he looked at her quietly.
The purple shirt lowered his head, and his beautiful face was a little hot with a lilac face.
"What do you mean by 'price'?" Li Wenbin's face was calm, and he asked, "What do you mean that you have sold your happiness?" β
"It's nothing, my brother is talking nonsense, how can I think that I will pay any price for you." Zi Shirt adjusted his emotions slightly, and pretended to be calm.
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Zishan on the side was very faceless, like a broken jar, and interjected loudly: "My sister is for you to make you our partner, agree to marry a guy she doesn't like, you can't ......"
The purple shirt covered his brother's mouth, anger rose in his eyes, but his face became hotter and hotter.
Li Wenbin frowned slightly, looked at the purple shirt, and asked, "Is it true?" β
"That...... No, I'm not really ...... that guy Well, don't you earth humans often say that 'feelings can be cultivated', I think ......"
Zi Yi didn't dare to look at Li Wenbin's eyes, lowered his head and muttered softly.
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Li Wenbin.
"I see." Li Wenbin turned his head, looked at Zishan, and said lightly: "I can cooperate with the Ziyu Clan, but there is one condition. β
"On what terms?"
Li Wenbin pointed at the purple shirt and said, "The so-called agreement she reached with your clan elder before is all null and void, including the decision to marry that or something!" β
ββ¦β¦β
There was silence.
Zishan, Zishan, and Ziyan all looked at Li Wenbin a little stunned, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"I'm a person who doesn't like to owe people anything, especially favors." Li Wenbin continued, "Whether I actively or passively accepted this favor, I don't want to owe it. β
"If we agree to this condition, we can continue to negotiate the follow-up alliance, and if not, then you can go back."
After speaking, Li Wenbin slowly walked back to his place and sat down, picked up the teacup, and drank it slowly.
"Hahaha, boy, you're very good!" At this time, Zi Yan's voice rang out, and he looked at Li Wenbin with a very satisfied look, and said, "Just say this to you, no matter whether the human race and the Ziyu clan are allied or not, I, Zi Yan, will make you a friend!" β
Then, he looked at his sister Zishan, and said a little angrily: "Xiaoshan, you are also stupid, that guy Zihong is not worthy of you at all, if it weren't for him having a good grandfather, he wouldn't even be able to reach one of your toes!" β
"This kind of thing is not something that we can control. I dare to say that even if you don't agree to this condition, as long as those old guys see this guy's current strength and the power in their hands, they will take the initiative to choose him as the object of the alliance. The price you pay is completely wasteful, purely for free, and worthless! β
"And you!" Zi Yan pointed the finger at Zishan again, and scolded: "You obviously know that your little sister is going to do such a stupid thing, why don't you stop it?" Why didn't you tell me? β
The more Zi Yan spoke, the more angry he became, and in the end, he directly raised his slap and hit Zi Shan's head several times, making him cry wolf and keep running.
"I didn't know that I was wrong, so I deliberately mentioned this here, do you think you want my little sister to marry that guy? I can't help it. β
In the end, Zishan muttered with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Your name is Li Wenbin, right, Xiaoshan will stay here for a few days, and after Xiaoshan and I go back and settle this matter, we will come to you to continue to discuss the next alliance."
After beating Zishan violently, Zi Yan said to Li Wenbin: "I have personally tested your strength, and it is completely enough to cooperate with us." β
"No problem, but better hurry." Li Wenbin nodded and said, "If other races come to me to cooperate, and the conditions are good enough, I don't guarantee that I will refuse." β
"Don't worry, it won't be long." Zi Yan said casually, and then looked at his sister Zi Shan, "Xiao Shan, you can play here for a few days with peace of mind, and this matter will be left to me." You just do what you like, no matter what, big brother and I will definitely support you! β
"Big brother, thank you~~" Zishan lowered his head and said softly.
Seeing this, Zi Yan didn't say anything more, directly picked up Zi Shan, and quickly left here.
In the hall, Zi Yi stood there a little embarrassed, his little hands pinching each other, not knowing what to say, and not daring to look at Li Wenbin and the others.
Li Wenbin sat there, not knowing how to speak.
He is not blind, let alone a fool, from everything that happened before, he already knows one thing, that is, the beauty of the Ziyu clan in front of him, who has only met a few times, likes himself!
To be honest, Li Wenbin has never thought of this kind of thing.
After all, the number of times he and Zi Shirt have met, even this time adds up to only three times, and the first time of them is still standing in a relatively opposite position, which is not very harmonious.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for the purple shirt to have the emotion of liking him, right, that is, curiosity.
But the world is so wonderful, the purple shirt's feelings for him obviously exceeded Li Wenbin's own expectations, and the other party was willing to sacrifice his happiness for him.
Although this is purely superfluous, even self-inflicted, I have to say that Li Wenbin's opinion of the purple shirt has changed at this moment.
I can't talk about liking, let alone love, I can only say that I ...... Admire!
The fact that a woman is able to do this is enough to say something about her attitude and persistence, even if such persistence seems childish and even idiotic to many.
But a woman with this kind of persistence is worthy of admiration.
"Why? We're not even familiar friends. In the end, Li Wenbin still didn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and took the initiative to ask.
Hearing this, Zi Shirt paused for a moment, took a deep breath casually, and replied in her unique crisp voice: "What else?" Because I like you. β
Be bold and direct!
Such an answer not only made Li Wenbin a little stunned, but even Yun Meng and the two on the side couldn't help but be surprised.
"What, don't you believe it?" Now that he has spoken, Zi Shirt also seems to let go, and said generously: "Don't talk about you, even I don't believe it." β
"When I first met you, I felt that you were an arrogant guy who didn't know the height of the sky, and he dared to kill Ning Yu if he didn't agree with him, and he dared to argue with my brother. But then I found out that the reason why you dare to be so crazy is because you have enough strength. When my brother first said that you can compare to the Dragon Emperor, I didn't believe it, but it turns out that you can not only compare with the Dragon Emperor, but also suppress him. β
"Your strength and potential are one of the reasons why I started to pay attention to you, but what really changed my attitude towards you was your attitude towards your own woman."
Speaking of this, the purple-shirted eyes looked at Wen Ruxue with big eyes, revealing a hint of a smile.
"For the sake of her, who was just an ordinary woman at the time, you dared to make Ning Yu apologize and admit her mistakes, or even kill her directly. Maybe this is a normal reaction for you, but you don't know how attractive such a move is to a woman. β
"This incident made me pay attention to you, to get to know you, but more than that, just out of curiosity. The one thing that really made me feel completely different about you, you know that was the thing? β
Li Wenbin shook his head and did not speak.
Zi Yi smiled slightly, turned his gaze to Yun Meng, and said, "Remember what you said when we met for the second time?" You say, 'I just love her, and since I love her, then I should accept everything from her.'" β
"It was this sentence that made me completely change my attitude towards you." Zi Yi said softly, "In the Purple Mi Realm, the status of a woman from a big family like me is just a little better than those ordinary women on the earth now. In the eyes of the vast majority of men, women are just a bargaining chip and tool, in addition to passing on the family lineage, the biggest role is to exchange for enough benefits for the family. β
"My grandfather and father loved me very much, but I knew that one day I would become a bargaining chip in their hands, in exchange for their interests that were equal to my value in their eyes."
"I know I can't resist, so I can only do something I think is worth it while I still have the right to speak."
Zi Shirt spread his hands indifferently, and said lightly: "I originally planned to treat this matter as my own willfulness, and I wasn't going to tell you, but I didn't expect my brother's mouth to be so unstrict." β
"Don't worry too much about it, I don't want you to feel guilty about it, or even like me to repay me."
ββ¦β¦β
"You're overthinking." Li Wenbin paused for a moment, and then said very facelessly, "I don't owe you any favors now, I will give you everything you have paid." β
"I know." The purple shirt grinned and said, "So now I don't have to worry about you having any psychological burden, I decided to chase you with real skills!" β
"Poof~~~"
Li Wenbin had just drunk a sip of tea in his mouth, and suddenly squirted out, like a drizzle.
He coughed a few times, straightened out his choked throat, looked at Zi Shirt in disbelief, and said, "When you said this, did you take these two around me into account?" β
"Why should I consider them?" Purple Shirt said naturally, "I'm chasing you, what does it have to do with them?" β
"It's not ......" Li Wenbin patted his head and said with a smile: "On the earth, your current behavior, in layman's terms, is to pry their corners, do you say it has anything to do with them?" β
"Pry the corner?" Zi Shirt was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't plan to snatch you away from them, how can I pry their corners, at most...... Can it be considered to occupy a seat? You've got two of them anyway, and I don't have any more, do I? β
'Just taking a seat?' Is there one more of you? If you think this is herding sheep, a sheep is also herding, and a flock of sheep is also herding! β
Hearing Zishan's answer, Li Wenbin's heart suddenly seemed to have 100,000 divine beasts rushing by, shocking him to the outside and tender inside, and he was at a loss.
"Puff~~"
Yun Meng on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Although Wen Ruxue beside her was not so obvious, the corners of her mouth also hooked up a faint smile.
"What's wrong? Am I saying something wrong? The purple shirt looked at a few people with some confusion.
Although she lived on Earth for a while, she only really appeared in public after the outbreak of the end times, so she did not understand the meaning of some special languages of Huaxia enough.
Yun Meng took the initiative to walk to Zishan's side, held her little hand, and said with a smile: "No, you are not wrong, you are right, anyway, there are not many more of you." β
"Sister Yun, don't follow around." Li Wenbin patted his head and said helplessly.
"I'm not fooling around." Yun Meng glanced at him and said, "What, I helped you find a sister, are you still not satisfied?" β
'Satisfied? I'm so satisfied! However, can you divide the time, at this juncture, shouldn't our attention be more focused on the next 'competition'? β
Li Wenbin complained in his heart, but he didn't say it, this kind of thing, it's best to let it develop, the more you care, the easier it is to get entangled.
He said, "Well, you can do whatever you want, I don't care." β
Men are all fraternists, and Li Wenbin is the same, although he is already very satisfied after having Yunmeng, Wen Ruxue and Gu Na, but if you really want to add a few more, well, you can accept it.
Although some of the 'useless work' that Zishan did for him before was very naΓ―ve, I have to admit that her actions like this have made Li Wenbin remember her.
"I know you're duplicitous." Yun Meng glanced at Li Wenbin coquettishly, and then greeted Wen Ruxue, and the three of them left the hall and went outside under the big tree to start chatting.
Of course, Gu Na and the others, who had been separated before, also quickly came out of the room.
For a while, there was a lot of warblers and swallows here, so it was not lively.
β¦β¦
Minutes and seconds passed.
Towards noon, a familiar voice finally sounded in the minds of all evolutionaries.
"The first stage of 'competition' officially opened ......"
Thundered~~
After a simple sentence, the heavens and the earth changed.
The originally blue sky became gray, and the large and small spatial cracks that were originally scattered all over the earth were gradually approaching under the traction of a mysterious force, forming a full ninety-nine huge and incomparably large spatial cracks, scattered all over the earth.
Mountains, plains, dense forests...... Even above the sea, there are spatial cracks.
These are the spatial passages through which the other ninety-nine otherworldly intelligent races descended on Earth, and they are more stable and larger than those small cracks scattered before.
After the ninety-nine spatial cracks were completely formed, one after another magnificent figures like demon gods appeared in the sky, wrapped in various colors of light, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, only a pair of huge star-like eyes could be seen.
The whole world seemed to be frozen at this moment, and everyone looked at those figures in amazement.
Strange fluctuations permeated from these figures, echoing between heaven and earth, that is, they were communicating in a way that belonged to their own being.
Only those who stand on the same level as them can understand the meaning.
ββ
"Another reincarnation, the last 'competition' is finally here!" A figure that was ten thousand feet tall and covered in flames made a sound, shaking the entire heaven and earth.
"Old Ghost Yan, you're not dead yet?" A figure responded, his body swirling with black light, like a grim reaper from hell.
"You stinky skeleton shelf isn't dead, how dare I go first!"
"Hahaha, don't come here unharmed." Another figure appeared, he was too tall, like a giant god, his whole body flashed with golden light, reaching up to the sky, stepping on the netherworld.
"Hmph, Three-Eyed Boy, are you still alive? It just so happens that this time, I will definitely let you see with your own eyes how the children of my 'Black Underworld' killed your group of little three-eyed boys, and they are proud of all the tribes! β
A figure shrouded in black mist appeared not far from the golden light figure, and his voice was cold and arrogant, resounding through the world.
"Hehe, it's not that I look down on your little black charcoals, it's that I don't take them seriously at all." Although the voice of the golden figure was flat, anyone could hear his confidence and disdain.
"It's been hundreds of thousands of years, haven't you had enough?" Another blue figure appeared, a woman's voice, "Don't you know the particularity of this 'competition'? Why, are you going to go in and start fighting to the death like before? I'm not going to waste my time with you! β
"Yes, I want to fight you two clans to find a place to fight by yourself, the unicorns of my clan are specially here for the various creations on the earth's ancestral planet."
"Hehe, everyone knows that this time is different from the past. However, there is one thing that I think can be unified. An illusory, disappearing figure spoke, its voice cold and bloodthirsty.
"I think ninety-nine races are enough, what do you say?"
"Just what I want!"
"No comment."
"Casual ......"
After a brief silence, one voice after another rang out.
"Hehe, then, let's get started~"
ββ
As the last sentence fell, the majestic figures like demon gods disappeared into the sky one after another, and just after these figures disappeared, a group of forerunners entered the earth.
Among the ninety-nine spatial cracks, except for some of the cracks where intelligent races came out, about half of the cracks appeared in groups of bloodthirsty demonic beasts.
These bloodthirsty demonic beasts are of different sizes, some are as small as a mountain, and some are as small as a fist, but their strength is generally above the late second-order stage, and there are many third-order existences.
The spatial cracks are like reservoir gates, and those demonic beasts are like the water in the reservoir, after the gates are opened, they continue to rush down and enter the earth.
In just a short period of time, I don't know if millions or tens of millions of demonic beasts entered the earth, and they turned into bloodthirsty torrents and rushed in all directions.
β¦β¦
Doomsday Bastion, inside the City Lord's Hall.
Zishan, who had left not long ago, appeared here again, but the news he brought back was not the one Zishan and Li Wenbin expected.
"The clan elder has just passed down the word that in this 'competition', more than two-thirds of the top fifty races in terms of comprehensive strength have decided to carry out a 'traditional' action."
Zishan's face was ugly, as if he was holding back the fire.
"What 'traditional' action?" Li Wenbin's heart moved, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
Zishan hesitated for a moment and said, "Clean up the Earth Evolver." β
"What?"
Hearing this, everyone present suddenly gasped, and the chill surged from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
"In many 'competitions' in the past, the other ninety-nine races will take the lead in exterminating the native evolutionaries of the earth before they fight each other, and even if they can't all be wiped out, they will also defeat all the resistance of the earth."
Zishan said in a deep voice: "Because such actions have occurred many times, those races that have experienced many times of 'competition' have regarded this as a 'tradition'. β
Bang~~
There was a loud bang, and everyone's eyes involuntarily looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Li Wenbin sat there, but the chair under him had broken into countless fragments and scattered on the ground, and the teacup in his hand had also turned into crumbs and slipped from his fingers.
His expression was still very calm, but everyone felt the anger and waves surging in his heart, even everyone who had reached the third-order realm felt a dull depression, and their hearts involuntarily increased their beating speed.
The air seemed to be stagnant, extremely depressing, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound, even Yunmeng stood silently on the side at this time.
"If you can, draw up a list for me." After a long time, Li Wenbin's calm voice sounded, and everyone felt light, and the air resumed flowing.
"List? What list? Zishan was stunned for a moment and asked.
Li Wenbin said lightly: "The list of all the races that have this 'tradition', I owe you a favor!" β
"Ah......h......h I'll try my best, the clan elders should know a lot! β
"Thank you!"
Li Wenbin nodded, as if nothing had happened, and continued to ask, "How do those races plan to carry out this 'tradition'?" Are their tribes attacking together? β
"It's not." Zishan replied, "According to the information given to me by the clan elder, this time the 'competition' is very special, the strong people whose strength exceeds a certain level cannot come to the earth, and all the races that can enter the earth now are the younger generations of their respective races. Therefore, those races intend to let the demonic beasts in their respective worlds act as pioneers for them, exterminate the Earth's evolutionaries as much as possible, and clear the way for their subsequent entry into the clans. β
"Warcraft?" Li Wenbin's eyes moved, and the corners of his mouth suddenly hooked up a cold smile.
He glanced at Purple Mountain and said, "What about your Purple Jade Clan?" If I'm not mistaken, your clan elders should have postponed or even eliminated their plans to form an alliance with Earth Evolvers for the time being, right? β
"This ......" Zishan's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer Li Wenbin's question.
"Let's be straight, I'm not that stingy!" Seeing this, Li Wenbin said lightly.
Zishan took a deep breath and said softly: "The clan elder has not given up the plan to form an alliance with the earth humans, however, they have indeed postponed this plan, if you can withstand this demonic beast disaster, the purple jade clan will officially form an alliance with you." β
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at his sister with some embarrassment, and hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Moreover, they will promise Xiaoyi to you, so that humans and the Ziyu clan will form a marriage relationship. β
As soon as his words fell, Zi Shan, who was still worried, suddenly exclaimed, looking at her brother in disbelief, her red lips opened slightly, but she didn't say a word for a long time.
Only in the big eyes, a hidden crystal began to flicker.
Although he knew that he would one day be used as a bargaining chip and a tool, when this moment really appeared, the purple shirt was still difficult to accept for a while.
It's not that she doesn't like to be with Li Wenbin, it's just that she feels sad because she is used as a tool, at this moment, she really realizes some reality, which is more cruel than she imagined.
"I'm sorry." Zishan didn't dare to look into his sister's eyes, and said in a low voice, "For this matter, the eldest brother almost turned his face with his father, and now he has been temporarily imprisoned. β
"Then what if Li Wenbin and them fail?" Zishan didn't cry and make a fuss, but asked a little coldly.
Zishan hesitated, and did not give an answer at the first time, or rather, he was a little afraid to say the answer.
Seeing this, Zishan's eyes were completely cold, and he said lightly: "Hehe, I understand, thank you brother, thank you and your eldest brother for everything you did for me before, thank you for tolerating my little character everywhere." β
She turned around and looked at Li Wenbin, her eyes flashing with tears, but her expression was extremely determined.
"I'll follow you in the future, whether you want me or not, from now on, even if I die, I won't leave here!"
The voice is faint, but with a firmness and determination that makes people undoubted.
"Xiaoshan ......" Hearing his sister's words, Zishan's face changed, and he said urgently: "I came this time, in addition to bringing news, the most important one is to take you back, this is the meaning of my father, and it is also the meaning of the clan elder." β
Zi Shirt looked at his brother calmly, and suddenly showed a sad smile, and said, "Haven't you been encouraging me to be brave enough to do what I want to do?" Right now, I'm just doing what I want, and you should be happy for me, aren't you?! β
"But ......"
"No, but, from today on, I am his person, the Ziyu clan has nothing to do with me, don't they want me to marry? I did what they wanted! Purple Shirt interrupted his brother's words and said coldly.
"No way!" Zishan roared and said, "I won't let you stay here today no matter what, soon, this place will become a bloody battlefield, and you will die here!" β
"Brother Li, although I know that this is very inappropriate, I still want to ask you to help me persuade her, you should know that with the strength of human beings today, it is difficult to resist the wave-like wave of demonic beasts, I really don't want her to die here!"
Zishan looked at Li Wenbin with a sincere expression.
From this sentence, everyone also knew the general attitude in the Ziyu Clan, and even Zishan, who knew Li Wenbin best, felt that there was no way for humans to resist this catastrophe, let alone other Ziyu Clansmen.
The alliances and marriages that the other party talked about before are actually more, just a backup just in case.
Zishan was also looking at Li Wenbin, tears were still on her beautiful face, she didn't cry or pray, but said calmly: "Are you going to drive me away too?" β
Li Wenbin didn't speak, he glanced at the purple shirt, and then his eyes fell on Yun Meng and the others on the side.
Seeing this, Yun Meng smiled slightly, took the initiative to stand up, walked to Zishan's side, gently held her hands, and said softly: "Sister Xiaoshan, I'll take you to see your room, you see what else you need to add, in the future, this will be your home." β
Hearing this, the tears in the eyes of the purple shirt were like pearls with broken threads, which could no longer be suppressed and kept rolling down.
"Thank you......" she tried to speak, but it was as if something was stuck in her throat.
Yun Meng smiled softly, naturally took her into her arms, and said something in her ear while leading her upstairs.
"Shirt!"
Seeing this, Zishan on the side couldn't care about anything anymore, and stepped forward to pull the purple shirt back.
However, a figure stopped him.
Li Wenbin stood in front of him and said lightly: "You go back first, she is safe here." β
"But......" Zishan's face changed.
"Remember to bring the list I want with me next time, and I won't keep you today!" Li Wenbin's voice still echoed in his ears.
Purple Mountain found himself outside the hundred-meter-high city wall.
"This ......"
At this moment, he came to his senses completely, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the city wall and saw the figure standing quietly in the city lord's hall.
"It seems that I still underestimate you, maybe you can really create a miracle!"
Zishan muttered in a low voice, took one last look at the magnificent city wall in front of him, and turned to leave.
