Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Conversation Before Leaving
The patriarch of the cat people stared at Tianxing with a little surprise: "I can't believe it, you actually recovered ......"
Tianxing smiled slightly, he was very satisfied with his current physical condition, and said calmly: "Thanks to your rescue, I owe the cat people a life." You can rest assured, I will never tell the secret of the cat people, I am a person with integrity. ”
"Well," the cat-man patriarch glanced at Tianxing, "However, depending on your physical condition, your strength should not have recovered to its best state before, right?"
Tianxing nodded: "It's okay, I was still a dying person before, and it is already a blessing to be able to pick up a life from the Ghost Gate." ”
The patriarch of the cat people frowned slightly, and suddenly waved his hand at Murong Little Wolf: "Little wolf, you go down first, and I will talk to Tianxing alone." ”
Murong Little Wolf was stunned for a moment, she was worried that her father would do something unfavorable to Tianxing.
"It's okay, you can rest assured. Some of the words are just inconvenient for you to listen to. The cat-man patriarch judged what the little wolf was thinking and explained.
The little wolf nodded: "Okay, father, I'll go down first." ”
When the figure of Murong Little Wolf disappeared behind the main hall, the Cat Man Patriarch said with a hint of a smile: "Tianxing, I have two things I need to talk to you about, is it convenient?"
"Of course. "Tianxing doesn't know what the cat-man patriarch is going to say, so he naturally allows it.
"First, have you inherited the inheritance of the Holy Pillar?" the Cat Patriarch turned his back to the Celestial Star and folded his hands around his waist.
Boom, it was like a thunderbolt in the mind of the stars.
"You...... How do you know?" "Tianxing knew that his current true identity could not be known by others, and he still remembered the words that the Killing Saint had warned him when he accepted the inheritance. If some ill-intentioned people learn that they are the Saint Inheritors of Killing, I am afraid that they will be killed for themselves.
"Hahaha, if it weren't for the Holy Pillar, how could an ordinary human being have such a pure elemental aura? If you have it, it is also a supreme old master, how can you, a child, control this elemental attribute? My cat human race, after all, is also a race that has lived on this continent for thousands of years, and this basic judgment is still there. The slight elemental energy that you exuded when you first started cultivating on your own has already been noticed by me. ”
Tianxing secretly shouted, he really deserved to be the patriarch of the cat people, and his observation ability was super keen, and he caught his biggest secret in one fell swoop.
"But don't worry, I'm just here to make sure. I know how important it is for you to keep your identity secret as the inheritor of one of the Nine Great Sacred Pillars, and this matter is only known to you and I in the Cat Clan. The patriarch of the cat people waved his hand, and said very easily.
Skystar took a deep breath, "Thank you. ”
The patriarch of the cat people smiled: "Originally, I didn't believe in you very much, we still need to be more vigilant about the human race, but since you are the inheritor of one of the Nine Holy Pillars, then naturally there is nothing to worry about, I believe that those heroic predecessors of the human race will not choose the wrong person." ”
Tianxing agreed: "Trust is mutual, and not all human beings are roosters and thieves. ”
The patriarch of the cat people turned around, his eyes were deep, like a deep pool, and he couldn't see the bottom: "This is the first thing, and second, I want to ask, when did you and Murong Little Wolf meet?"
"About a few years ago, when I was walking in the woods, she was fighting with a human and approached me, and I had no choice but to attack, and then we met. Soon, in the Western Great Fortress of the Tianluo Empire, on our way to complete the task of suppressing bandits, Murong Little Wolf helped us again. Tianxing said after a moment's thought. He didn't have any intention of lying, and he also understood that in the face of the cat-man patriarch, lies could not achieve any effect.
Patriarch Murong thought about it for a moment, and then said, "Well, it's basically the same as what I learned. You're about fourteen by now, right?"
Tianxing nodded: "Yes." I heard Murong Little Wolf say that I have been in the Cat People Clan for half a year. ”
"Well, since your injuries have healed, although your strength has not yet recovered to the peak, is there any problem with departure?"
"Nothing was a problem, totally left now. Tianxing thought for a moment, then replied.
The patriarch nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's not that my cat people want to urge you to leave, but your safety here is not the most effective guarantee, so while your injuries are healed, you should set off as soon as possible." ”
Tianxing took a deep breath: "Okay, I don't have any luggage to carry, in that case, tomorrow morning, I will say goodbye and leave." ”
"Okay, that's my second question to you. Now there's nothing else to do, you can take a break first. I hope you will keep your agreement with our cat people. Otherwise, even if you are at the ends of the earth, my cat people patriarch will continue to hunt you down until you die. In the end, the tone of the patriarch of the cat people had become extremely fierce and domineering, and a kind of power spread from him, Tianxing suddenly felt a strong pressure nailed to his shoulder, and his body, which had not healed, was impacted, and he hurriedly took two steps back, panting for breath.
Raising his head, Tianxing looked directly at the patriarch of the cat people, neither humble nor arrogant: "I said, what I promised will definitely be done." ”
"Remember your promises. The cat-man patriarch ignored the stars and turned to leave.
With a slight sigh, Tianxing moved his body and healed his injury, which was a great joy for him, thinking that he would leave the Cat People Clan and return to the Tianjin Sword Pavilion the next day, Tianxing's heart was full of longing to return.
Mu Fengsu, Long Xiangyu, Meng Ke, Ye Ruyue, and Yu Xuanqing, you ...... How's it going......
Are you any hurt?
Is the injury healed?
Wait, I'll go back right away, I'm safe......
Tianxing clenched his fists, Sword Pavilion, my home, I'm coming back.
"Skystar. Murong Little Wolf's voice came from behind, "What did my father tell you?"
Tianxing turned his head, his face was very calm: "I didn't talk about anything, the patriarch just told me to keep the secret of your cat people." ”
Murong Little Wolf is very smart, she naturally knows that her father's conversation with Tianxing must have some secrets that others can't know, and she can't ask anything. So, she nodded, and continued, "Have you decided when to go?"
Tianxing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I plan to leave tomorrow." ”
A trace of regret clearly flashed on Murong Little Wolf's face: "Ah...... You're about to leave the Cat People so soon, and you've been recuperating from your injuries all the time you've been here, and you haven't felt the beauty of the forest on our Cat People caves, so why don't you go for a walk together?"
Tianxing smiled slightly: "Aren't you worried that I will be discovered by you cat people?"
Murong Little Wolf shook his head: "No." The night here is also beautiful, without the hustle and bustle of your human city. You're leaving tomorrow anyway, aren't you?"
"Alright, I'll go and experience the strange scenery of your cat people. Tianxing thought about it and agreed.
Following behind Murong Little Wolf, Tianxing is very cautious, without borrowing energy, the human eye cannot see very clearly in the dark night, but Murong Little Wolf is different, at night, her pupils change rapidly, and the visual effect is the same as that of the day.
I have to say that Murong Little Wolf's figure is absolutely perfect, although the clothes she wears are relatively loose, and her silhouette cannot be seen, but from her appearance alone, you can find that this is definitely a peerless heroism that captivates the city and the country. The age of the cat people is almost the same as that of humans, only slightly longer, so the age of Murong Little Wolf is about fifteen years old. This age is the time when you can shine the most.
The breeze is blowing, with a little coolness, the soft grass sticks to the face, and the faint fragrance of grass comes to the nose, giving people an incomparable sense of intoxication. Above the sky, a large and round moon is like jade, and the surrounding stars and lights flicker alternately, and the night with a starry sky is really pleasant.
The two of them lay side by side on a small gentle slope, squinting and talking.
"Skystar, do you know? I'm actually a hybrid of a cat and a human. ”
"Oh, is this true?" asked Skystar in surprise. Although the little wolf of Murong did have a little more human characteristics than other cat people, Tianxing did not expect that the little wolf of Murong would actually be a mixed race.
"It's true, my mother is human. She was the only human allowed to live in the Cat People, when my father fell in love with my mother, and then, despite the opposition of the elders, he took my mother into the Cat People. ”
Murong Little Wolf paused, and then said: "My mother is very kind, at the beginning, all the cat people were disgusting her, but once, there was a female cat man in our clan who was caught by humans, and at the critical moment, my mother stepped forward, pretending to be the companion of that group of people, and secretly let the female cat man go after deceiving their trust. When my mother returned to the clan, the cats began to accept her and become friendly with her. ”
"Although I am a mixed race, after all, the genes of cat people still account for the majority in my body, so I am a cat person with some characteristics of humans, which may also be an unprecedented hybrid of the cat people. Celestial Star, you say, why are all those other humans so greedy? Isn't it good that we cat people and humans are at peace with each other?"
Tianxing was a little sluggish, he couldn't answer Murong Xiaowolf's question: "I don't know what others think, but, after all, human beings have positive and negative sides, we are very complicated, to be honest, I don't have many people in contact, but, I think, everyone should try to communicate with others and gain trust with each other." It is true that there is a certain amount of guard against some people who are really motivated by profit, but please also give up your prejudice against all human beings, okay? After all, most people are still very kind and simple. ”
