Chapter 57: Friends

Brightly lit and breezy, this is a garden-like place surrounded by peach trees. It is spring, the trees are full of peach blossoms, the air is full of peach blossoms, and the ground is covered with peach blossoms. The eyes are full of peach blossoms, a pink world.

Sniffling, the rich fragrance of flowers poured into his brain from his nose, Bai Nian shook his head, a little dizzy.

"Here it is...... Peach Grove Garden!" the phantom banshee said with a gloomy face as she glanced around.

"Is there something wrong?" Bai Nian asked.

"Taolin Garden used to be just an ordinary garden, but later it was listed as a forbidden place, and a formation was laid out...... It turns out that the landscape ink roll is placed here. ”

The two of them stood on a wooden platform, and the landscape ink scroll had returned to its normal size, and it was floating in the air at the moment.

"You're finally out!" a calm voice swayed, the light and shadow became illusory, and a few people slowly walked out of the peach forest.

Xia Huang!

The rest of the people followed behind Emperor Xia, and they were all wearing Mithril armor, marking the identity of the palace guards.

Seeing Emperor Xia, the phantom banshee's face became even more gloomy and looked very restrained.

"Phantom, there has been an accident in the secret realm this time, are you okay?" Emperor Xia looked at the phantom banshee and said in a concerned tone, but there was a faint cold light in those cloudy eyes.

To Bai Nian's surprise, the phantom banshee did not reply, but hid directly behind him, as if she didn't want to see Emperor Xia.

This father-daughter relationship doesn't seem right!

"Bai Nian Xiaoyou, this trip to the secret realm is quite smooth, right?" Emperor Xia looked at Bai Nian, and he didn't feel the majesty from his body, but there was a trace of kindness, as if an elder was observing a junior.

"Your Majesty Emperor Xia, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!" Bai Nian was very vigilant, he straightened up and was ready to respond at any time.

Bai Nian didn't believe that Emperor Xia was just here to talk to him about the Dragon Gate Array, the elixir and the Immortal Sutra were in his hands, if they were exposed, I was afraid that the entire Heavenly Spirit Continent would covet them, how could Emperor Xia let himself take away the things that belonged to Great Xia.

"Haha, the temperament is direct. The elixir in this secret realm is on you, right? And where have you been for more than a month... And what did you get from there?" Emperor Xia's momentum changed abruptly, and a powerful coercion came out of his body.

Bai Nian and the Phantom Banshee's expressions changed suddenly in the face of this terrifying coercion.

This is far beyond the transcendent realm, he is above the transcendental!

It was just a moment of coercion, but Bai Nian and the Phantom Banshee couldn't resist anymore, it was out of an instinctive fear.

"Hmph!" a cold cry suddenly sounded, and the voice went straight into the hearts of everyone present. The floating landscape ink scroll fluctuated, and a layer of gentle spiritual power held up Bai Nian and the phantom banshee's body that was about to bend down, and the Xia Emperor's coercion was interrupted in an instant.

Surrounded by spiritual mist, he slowly turned into a very pale old man, who was the first Xia Emperor.

"Are you the successor of this Great Xia?" the old man said angrily as he looked at Emperor Xia.

"Who are you?" Emperor Xia frowned, the strength of the old man in front of him gave him an insurmountable feeling.

"Xia Guiping!!" The old man let out a loud roar, and the sound spread away, spreading like a tide to the entire imperial city.

"Huh?" the old man sighed lightly as if he was a little surprised, and he let out another loud roar: "Xia Changhai!!"

Also all over the entire imperial city, in a few breaths, an old man who was slightly younger than the old man fell from the sky, he seemed to dare to come quickly, and he was still a little untenable when he landed.

"Father, why are you here?" said Emperor Xia as he hugged the old man and said in confusion.

"Master... Grandpa!" the old man waved away Emperor Xia's hand, he slowly hooked down towards the first Emperor Xia, his face was excited, he trembled and said in disbelief: "Disciple Sun Xia Changhai has seen the ancestor!"

Grandpa, apprentice, grandson, ancestor, dare to love this old man is really the ancestor of Great Xia!

Bai Nian looked at Emperor Xia playfully, only to see Emperor Xia with a straight face, obviously not relieving himself.

"Hmm... How is it? What about your father?" said the first Xia Huang.

"Father, he ......has already passed away," Xia Changhai said.

"Is this your son?" the old man pointed at Emperor Xia, his face a little unkind.

"Yes, Ancestor, this kid is quite capable, so I handed over Daxia to him to take care of. Xia Changhai introduced Emperor Xia with some relief.

"I've seen the ancestor yet!" Xia Changhai glanced at Emperor Xia and gestured.

Emperor Xia was furious, and disrupted his plans with an extra ancestor in vain.

"I've seen the Ancestor!" said Emperor Xia, bowing and saluting.

"Grandpa...... Why did you suddenly get out of the customs?" Xia Changhai said, he is also an old man, calling another old man grandpa, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

"It's not that your son has alarmed me..."The old man glanced at Emperor Xia, very dissatisfied.

"Bastard! You don't dare to offend the ancestor! Don't kneel down and apologize!" Xia Changhai shouted sternly, full of anger.

Emperor Xia's face was purple and blue, and there were many people present, if he knelt down to him, the prestige of the Great Xia monarch would not exist.

"Old Ancestor......" Emperor Xia said with some hesitation.

"That's it, no offense. The old man waved his hand and said in a kind tone: "These two people are very fond of me in the secret realm, and this little girl is also my descendant, right?"

"Yes, Ancestor, this woman is my heir. Emperor Xia said with a sigh of relief.

"This girl is good, I have taken her as a disciple, old man, as for this boy! His elixir has been taken by my apprentice, and he has been chosen by me to be my apprentice's protector. The old man said.

"These two people, you must treat them well, and don't oppress them!" the old man exuded a trace of coercion, and said solemnly: "If I find out that any of them have been hurt, I will definitely show no mercy to the old man!"

After speaking, the old man's figure slowly dissipated, turning into a few wisps of spiritual mist and drifting into the landscape ink scroll.

His injuries have not yet healed and need to continue to recuperate.

"Two little friends......" Xia Changhai stroked the beard on his chin and smiled kindly.

"Father, this is your granddaughter, nicknamed Phantom. Emperor Xia whispered from the side.

Emperor Xia is lustful, there are groups of wives and concubines in the harem, and there are so many heirs that even he doesn't know the number, the phantom banshee is just one of the people who doesn't have any sense of existence, and Emperor Xia doesn't even know her name, only knows the nickname Phantom.

Xia Changhai has been cultivating in seclusion since he passed the throne to Empress Xia, he doesn't know the phantom banshee at all, and he naturally doesn't know that the phantom banshee is actually his granddaughter at this moment.

"Uh-huh-cough-cough!" Xia Changhai coughed and said to the Phantom Banshee: "Phantom Er, don't worry, since you are the disciple of the Old Ancestor, no one in Great Xia dares to touch you!"

"Then can I go?" said the phantom banshee coldly, her face expressionless from the appearance of Emperor Xia until the old man left.

"It's... It's natural. ”

Although Emperor Xia and Xia Changhai repeatedly stayed with each other, the phantom banshee directly ignored it. The two walked all the way out of the peach grove garden and the palace, and at this moment came to a tavern, three or two small dishes, and a few jars of good wine.

"You seem to have a conflict with your father?" Bai Nian asked, the phantom banshee was silent all the way, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Nothing," the Phantom Banshee shook her head.

"We're friends, aren't we?" Bai Nian asked softly.

The phantom banshee's heart was faintly shocked, friend, what a rare word, how ridiculous it sounded in the darkness of this deceit.

"Everyone wears a mask of hypocrisy, and on the surface they treat you as a friend, but behind the scenes, they don't stab you!" the Phantom Banshee sneered.

"No, a true friend is a partner you trust, who will always care about your safety and help you solve difficulties and setbacks. ”

Looking at those clear eyes, something called sincerity came out of them. The phantom banshee palpitated inexplicably, it seems that he really treats me as a friend?

"I don't know what you think, but I think of you as a friend anyway. Bai Nian smiled heartily.

"No, you're not my friend...... You're my aunt's protector!" the phantom banshee sneered, the shallow pear vortex reflected on her cheeks, and her curved eyebrows had a unique attraction, which was very good-looking.

"That's it, Grandma will tell you!" said the Phantom Banshee fiercely.

But when she organized her language and was ready to speak, her mind became bored again.

"Emperor Xia is my father, he is greedy and lustful, and there are countless wives and concubines in the harem. One day he was drunk and luckily had a maid in the palace, and he forgot about it after two days. But it was a big deal for this Miyamoto, she got pregnant and gave birth to a girl, and this girl was me. ”

"Later, my father gave my mother the name of a concubine, but my mother was only a palace maid and had a humble status, and the other concubines of Emperor Xia took pleasure in bullying my mother. My mother took me to walk on thin ice in this deep palace, and all kinds of conspiracies, guns and arrows could not be guarded against. ”

"Xia Huai'an! His mother is the queen, and that vicious woman actually ...... because of a trivial matter Will my mother... Alive... Kill!" said this, the phantom banshee choked up a little, and her crystal eyes were filled with tears.

"My mother... Let Uncle Ann send me out of the palace, heh! You know what? I grew up wandering with Uncle Amber, begging for alms from passers-by every day like a beggar. Hunger, cold, hatred, fear, ......"

Bai Nian listened quietly, he couldn't imagine that the phantom banshee had such an experience, he took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped away the phantom banshee's tears.

Later, Uncle Ann also died. I cried for a long time when he died... After crying and crying, I found out that I had opened my mind, and since then I have understood a truth, the law of the jungle is the strong, and then I embarked on the path of cultivation alone......

"One day, I will become the most powerful monk, I want that vicious woman to die without a place to be buried, and I want all those who have bullied my mother to die in Huangquan! I want that absurd dog emperor in Great Xia to regret it!" the phantom banshee was extremely angry, she gritted her teeth, and the skull of a pair of fists was clenched secretly.

"Do whatever you want to do boldly and confidently! Your enemy has no grudge against me, although I can't kill the enemy for you, but if you encounter danger, I will never let it go!" Bai Nian poured two wine glasses and handed one to the phantom banshee.

"Let's do this, we're friends!"

"Well, Bai Nian! thank you!" The phantom banshee raised her wine glass and drank it down, sighing in her heart: "Friend, Bai Nian, do you know that you are my first friend?"

"What are your plans for the future?" asked the Phantom Banshee.

"Originally, I wanted to join the three major overlord forces, but looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no chance!" Bai Nian said.

"Me too," said the Phantom Banshee.

Before the words were finished, a sound of breaking the sky reached his ears in an instant.

Bai Nian slapped the table, his body fell backwards, and a short blade just flew by.

"Tianxingjiao is doing business! Idle people and others are all out of the way!" A cold drink came, and more than a dozen figures rushed into the restaurant from everywhere.

Bai Nian was stunned, he frowned, his heart trembling.

Celestial Walkers?
