"Grandpa!"

Seeing the old man emerging from the shadows, Ye Ling's pretty face suddenly swelled with joy, and he immediately pounced like a little butterfly, and at the same time grinned in his mouth.

"You wild girl, you've been out messing around for so long, are you finally willing to come back?"

Looking at the girl who pounced, the old man's cloudy eyes were full of doting, but on the surface, he deliberately kept a straight face and blamed softly.

"Hee-hee, grandpa, where is Ling'er messing around......"

Ye Ling's red lips pursed, he took the old man's arm and shook it gently, and said coquettishly.

Such a delicate and cute posture obviously made the old man quite useful, so he could only smile helplessly, and then patted her little head dotingly, and said softly: "Next time, you can't mess around like this, run out of the city alone, and don't even take a guard." ”

Gently pinched the girl's little face, and then, the old man turned his head, looked at the young man on the side, and suddenly smiled and said, "Presumably little brother, you are Xia Xuan, right? ”

"Boy Xia Xuan, I've seen the old man of the tower master. ”

Xia Xuan also smiled and nodded, and saluted quite respectfully.

The old man in front of him was an existence at the same level as his father, and he was still Ye Ling's grandfather, and he was his elder, so he didn't dare to have any neglect and disrespect.

He nodded, and the old man immediately said with a smile: "He really deserves to be Xia Liuyun's son, he is really a talent, even better than your father." ”

Hearing this, Xia Xuan was slightly startled, and subconsciously asked, "Old man of the tower master, do you know my father?"

"There is a relationship. ”

The old man smiled and nodded: "Your father is really worthy of being the patriarch of the Xia family, and his bearing and strength are quite extraordinary, even if he is old, he admires it very much." But now it seems that you are a better son. ”

"Praise it. Shaking his head with a smile, Xia Xuan said modestly.

That appearance also made the smile on the old man's face a little stronger, a teenager of Xia Xuan's age is generally quite unruly, and some of them are even more arrogant.

However, at this moment, he did not see too much arrogance of young people in the latter, but seemed quite polite and peaceful.

"Ye Ling, this girl is quite impulsive and willful, this time I am afraid that this time I will cause a lot of trouble to Xia Xuan's little brother, and I ask the little brother to bear more. ”

The old man smiled, and then patted the little head of the girl next to him, and said.

As soon as the old man's words came out, the girl on the side suddenly pursed her red lips higher in dissatisfaction, as if she could hang an oil bottle, and at the same time muttered in a dissatisfied voice: "Where do I have ......?"

"Dare to be willful. ”

Gently knocking on the door of the girl's smooth head, the old man's face also became a little serious, and he scolded in a low voice: "If it weren't for Xia Xuan's little brother desperately saving him this time, do you know what kind of dangerous situation you would fall into?"

Looking at the old man's somewhat stern appearance, Ye Ling didn't dare to say more, so he could only snort lightly, and then spit out his little tongue to express the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The girl's appearance of not wanting to repent at all made the old man even more helpless, he shook his head, and was about to continue to teach him a lesson, however, Xia Xuan also smiled first and said, "Old man of the tower master, don't blame Ye Ling." If it weren't for her desperate rescue, I'm afraid the kid would have died in that wild forest this time, let's help each other. ”

"That's it, that's it, we're helping each other, grandpa, you say as if I'm dragging Xia Xuan back!"

With Xia Xuan's help to speak, Ye Ling suddenly gained confidence and said unconvinced. The appearance of fighting for one's own reasons is quite like a cute lark.

Looking at the girl's cute appearance, Xia Xuan also smiled, then pondered for a moment, then raised his head and continued to smile: "Moreover, even if there is no me, Ye Ling will not have an accident, after all, there is an old man who is guarding you in secret, isn't it?"

Xia Xuan's abrupt words made Ye Ling also slightly stunned, and then suddenly turned his head and glared at the side, obviously surprised The old man shouted dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa, you actually secretly follow me?!"

Instead of responding to Ye Ling's angry questioning, the old man looked at the smiling young man tightly, and after a while, he shook his head in admiration, his old eyes were full of appreciation, and said, "Little Brother Xia Xuan's soul perception is really quite outstanding, it really surprises the old man." ”

At that time, because Ye Ling had fallen into a dangerous situation, the old man's mind fluctuated, and he accidentally leaked some breath, but it was only for a moment, but he didn't expect that it was all noticed by Xia Xuan.

"Ye Ling has never left this mercenary city often, and as soon as he leaves the city, he is preparing to enter the dangerous wild forest, and it is natural for the old man to be uneasy. Xia Xuan chuckled.

"Alas......"

Shaking his head with emotion, the old man sighed lightly and said with a smile: "If you want to come out of Ye Ling, a wild girl, with a little brother you are so sensible, then the old man will be relieved." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and even if he didn't say it, anyone could feel it.

Gently stroking Ye Ling's jet-black hair, the old man looked at Xia Xuan and said with a smile: "Ye Ling's parents left early, and the old man only has this one offspring, so she has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and she has become quite willful and impulsive." And, for some reason, this wild girl has always been quite disgusted with relying on the power of the mercenary tower, and every time she wants to go out and take some risks by herself. ”

"And now she is quite close to your little brother, so please ask the little brother to help the old man in the future and take care of her more. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xuan didn't hesitate, and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, Ye Ling is my friend, someone wants to hurt her, and I am the first to refuse." ”

"Hehe, with your words, little brother, the old man is relieved. ”

The old man also nodded with a smile, and then his withered palm was raised, and a black shadow was thrown out by him and flew towards Xia Xuan.

The latter was slightly stunned, and then his intact left hand reached out, grabbed the black shadow into his palm, and when he looked at it, he saw a black token lying in it, and at the same time, the old man's slightly hoarse chuckle also sounded slowly.

"This is the token that represents the highest status of my mercenary tower, from now on, little brother, you are the highest guest of my mercenary tower, and with this token, you can enter and exit any place in the mercenary tower. ”

"Hehe, little brother Xia Xuan, if you need anything, just ask. ”
