Chapter 60: The Lost Land
Chapter 60
Wang Maotang looked at Xiao Zhan with an anxious face, and his appearance was a little funny.
Xiao Zhan knew that he was worried about Gong Baotian's situation, so he smiled and said:
"The palace seniors are in good physical condition, and they should wake up soon."
As soon as the words fell, I saw Gong Baotian on the hospital bed slowly open his eyes.
The pain in his eyes flickered, replaced by a clear, keen gaze.
Gong Baotian glanced at Wang Maotang and Han Xiaoqiao who were standing next to him, and his eyes immediately fell on Xiao Zhan.
He stared at Xiao Zhan for a long time before he spoke:
"I know my situation very well, if it weren't for a god-level powerhouse, he would never be able to save me."
Seeing Xiao Zhan smiling and silent, Gong Baotian got up and hugged his fists at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Your Excellency is so young, but you are already a god-level powerhouse, this is the luck of the Yanlong Kingdom."
Xiao Zhan shook his head slowly and said with a smile:
"People like the predecessors of the Yanlong Kingdom are truly lucky."
Gong Baotian nodded, looked at Wang Maotang and Han Xiaoqiao and said:
"Can we talk alone?"
Wang Maotang nodded, turned around and walked towards the door.
Han Xiaoqiao was a little unhappy, but he didn't insist on staying.
Xiao Zhan looked at Gong Baotian with interest, "What do you have to say to me alone?" ”
Gong Baotian looked at Xiao Zhan deeply, and suddenly asked:
"Are you looking for you?"
Xiao Zhan frowned, "They also looked for seniors?" ”
Gong Baotian nodded, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Unfortunately, I'm too weak."
Gong Baotian said slowly:
"Eighteen years ago, I reached the peak of the saint level, and since I had never seen a god-level powerhouse, I thought I was the strongest in this world."
"Then, the old beggar found me, and I can't forget what he said to me now."
Xiao Zhan frowned:
"What did he say?"
Gong Baotian smiled bitterly: "He said that although my strength is a little worse, I really can't find a suitable candidate." ”
Xiao Zhan suddenly fell silent.
From Gong Baotian's words, it can be inferred that the Yanlong Kingdom Town Elders Council seems to have been looking for powerful people to complete some kind of task.
Thinking of what the old beggar told him last time, about the biggest secret in this world, Xiao Zhan felt that something terrible was probably happening in that place called 'Lost Land'.
"Senior Gong, your injuries fell in the lost place?"
A flash of fear flashed in Gong Baotian's eyes:
"Compared with the physical injury, the fear in the heart is the most terrifying."
"My saint-level peak, on the first day I set foot in the Lost Land, I suffered a huge blow."
"Nothing in the outside world is worth mentioning compared to the horrors there!"
Xiao Zhan frowned, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”
Gong Baotian shook his head, "I don't know much, because I've only been in the Lost Land for half a month in total. ”
"For half a month, I was on the run, and in the end, if it wasn't for the appearance of the old beggar senior, I wouldn't have been able to come out alive."
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask:
"What's in the Lost Land?"
Gong Baotian slowly closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.
"Everything, nothing!"
"In fact, to this day, no one can tell the origin of the Lost Land."
"But countries have sent top forces to take hold of territory in the lost lands."
Seeing what Xiao Zhan wanted to ask, Gong Baotian slowly shook his head and said:
"Back then, I was injured by a god-level powerhouse in the Yaqi Kingdom."
"That's all I know, and the rest, I think the old beggar will tell you."
Speaking of this, Gong Baotian paused, looked at Xiao Zhan's eyes and said:
"I only know one thing, and that is that occupying a territory in the Lost Land means a lot to our Yanlong Kingdom!"
"If one day you set foot in the Lost Land, although I can't go with you, I can promise that I will protect your family."
At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the room.
A group of Gong Baotian's apprentices all crowded outside the door and shouted excitedly:
"Master, are you alright?"
Gong Baotian answered, and then saw the door opened.
A group of middle-aged people cried with red eyes and joy.
And Wang Maotang's grandson Wang Kai's face became ugly.
Because whether it was Han Xiaoqiao of the Golden Angel or his grandfather Wang Maotang, they said that they could not find the cause of Gong Baotian.
When Xiao Zhan came out and said that he could cure Gong Baotian, Wang Kai also made sarcastic remarks.
But now, the truth slapped him in the face.
Seeing that Wang Kai was stunned in place, Wang Maotang slapped Wang Kai on the back of the head, and said angrily:
"This is a long lesson, right?!"
"Don't apologize to Mr. Xiao Zhan soon!"
Wang Kai's expression flickered, and he couldn't wipe his face, so he had to say 'sorry'.
Xiao Zhan didn't bother with him, turned around and walked downstairs.
Downstairs, Han Xiaoqiao was explaining something to the group of assistants she brought, and when she saw Xiao Zhan coming downstairs, she hurriedly waved her hand and urged the group of assistants to leave.
After the assistants left, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Han Xiaoqiao's face, and he ran over and wanted to hold Xiao Zhan's arm, but was pushed away by Xiao Zhan.
"You are also one of the top ten doctors of the Golden Angel, aren't you usually very cold? I hope you keep it up. ”
Han Xiaoqiao glanced at Xiao Zhan, "My coldness is all for others, in front of you, Master, I will always be that well-behaved and lovely little Qiaoqiao." ”
Xiao Zhan glared at Han Xiaoqiao, "Since you know that you are my apprentice, then correct your attitude!" ”
"If you want to follow me, you can, I'll take you home now, let you meet my daughter, and then you can call her sister, she will call you sister, and ah, when you see my wife, you have to call me Shiniang!"
Han Xiaoqiao was speechless for a moment, rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't you let me call her mother directly?" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded seriously with a serious face, "It's okay." ”
After speaking, Xiao Zhan strode away, but his voice floated back:
"You'd better leave the Yanlong Kingdom quickly, if you're really idle, go back to the God of War Temple."
Han Xiaoqiao snorted coldly and followed behind Xiao Zhan from a distance.
A moment later, Xiao Zhan walked to the door of the house.
Ye Wei was pulling Xiao Yaoyao to play a game in the garden in front of the door, and when she saw Xiao Zhan coming back, she wanted to ask and speak, but she caught a glimpse of Han Xiaoqiao more than ten meters away.
"Xiao Zhan, why does that girl keep following you?"
Xiao Zhan frowned, and turned his head to look at Han Xiaoqiao with a puzzled face, "Really?" I haven't been paying attention, so I guess I'm lost. ”
Ye Wei nodded, "Then you play with Xiao Yaoyao, I'll ask her if she needs help." ”
Xiao Zhan hurriedly hugged Ye Wei and lowered his voice:
"Talk less to strangers, so much has happened during this time, let's be vigilant."
A hint of fear flashed in Ye Wei's eyes, and she nodded hurriedly, bent down and picked up Xiao Yaoyao and was about to go to the villa.
But Han Xiaoqiao shouted loudly:
"Hello teacher!"
Ye Wei was stunned in place, looking at Xiao Zhan with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Zhan slapped his head suddenly, and suddenly looked at Han Xiaoqiao and said:
"You...... You can't be Han Xiaoqiao, right? ”
Han Xiaoqiao looked at Xiao Zhan expressionlessly, as if to say, you pretend, you pretend again!
"By the way, you must be Xiao Qiao," Xiao Zhan smiled, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have changed, I almost didn't recognize you." ”
Saying that, Xiao Zhan explained to Ye Wei:
"Her name is Han Xiaoqiao, and she is my former apprentice."
The doubts on Ye Wei's face deepened, "Aren't you a contractor, why do you still accept female apprentices?" ”
Xiao Zhan nodded, "Yes, before the project, I was a bricklayer, Xiao Qiao, this girl's life was hard, at that time, she came to the construction site to find work, begging me to accept her as an apprentice, and I couldn't bear to refuse." ”
Hearing that Han Xiaoqiao had such a bitter experience, Ye Wei's eyes suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly grabbed Han Xiaoqiao's arm and said softly:
"You thin-skinned and tender-skinned meat, how can you eat so bitterly."
Xiao Zhan smiled, "Weiwei, don't look at Xiao Qiao's fine skin and tender meat, he was a good bricklayer at that time." ”
"Aren't we planning to build a fish pond in the garden, just let Xiao Qiao show you a hand!"
Ye Wei looked at Xiao Zhan angrily:
"Is there such a master as you? When the apprentice came, he didn't pick up the wind for others, but also let people work. ”
As she spoke, Ye Wei pulled Han Xiaoqiao to the villa, and said as she walked:
"Stay and rest for a few days, and if you encounter any difficulties, just let us know."
Outside.
Xiao Yaoyao grabbed Xiao Zhan's finger at this time, looked up at Xiao Zhan and asked:
"Dad, who is this aunt?"
"I want to call my sister," Xiao Zhan squatted down and lowered his voice: "You can go in in a while and see if your mother is angry, okay?" ”
Xiao Yaoyao's face was full of doubts, "Why is Mom angry?" ”
Xiao Zhan didn't know how to explain to Xiao Yaoyao, so he could only say:
"A woman's mind is very strange, and she may get angry at any time."
