Lin Xuan smiled at Xiaoyue. This was part of the deal with Dai Yuner.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the town first. We are so sleepy."
Dai Yun'er yawned and said. Lin Xuan nodded and followed her towards the town.
"Um?"
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, looked at the forest behind him thoughtfully, then smiled lightly and turned away.
It seems that the Xingluo royal family has sent people here.
On a big tree in the distance, a figure stood on the treetop, quietly watching Dai Yun'er and others leave.
He was a sturdy man, and his aura was as heavy as a mountain.
…
When everyone returned to the town, the sky was already slightly brighter.
Lin Xuan sat alone on the roof, looking at the rising sun in the distance. He should be able to go back soon.
"Why are you just standing here in a daze?"
A black figure jumped up and Dai Yun'er sat next to Lin Xuan.
"Nothing, just remembered something."
Lin Xuan shook his head and said.
"Sometimes, I envy you guys. You can go wherever you want by yourself. You have a lot more freedom."
Dai Yun'er pursed her lips, propped her head on her hands, and looked into the distance in a daze.
As a princess, she was born with wealth and status that others only dream of, but she also bears huge responsibilities and pressure.
"You must be wondering why I am so obsessed with this place!"
Dai Yun'er sighed and spoke to herself.
"Xiaoyue is my wet nurse's child. Since my mother passed away, Aunt Yun is the only one in this world who treats me as a child instead of a princess."
"A few years ago, I was clamoring to go out and see the outside world. After I made a lot of noise, Aunt Yun couldn't persuade me and had to take me out of the city secretly."
"She was afraid of danger and didn't dare to take me to other places, so she just came to this small town where she grew up."
Dai Yun'er paused, a hint of reminiscence appeared in her eyes, and an innocent smile appeared on her face.
"That day, I looked at the wild flowers and weeds on the road. Everything seemed so new to me. Even though those flowers and weeds were nothing compared to the famous flowers in the palace, I was still very happy."
"Because during that short journey, I was just Dai Yun'er, not a princess."
"But in the end, we were discovered by our father when we returned, and Aunt Yun was punished. Taking the princess out of the palace without permission is a serious crime."
"Even though I tried my best to make a scene, Aunt Yun was still beaten with dozens of boards in the end. She stayed in bed for several months before she slowly got better. But after that, she developed a chronic illness."
Dai Yuner said self-reproachfully.
It was not until that time that she realized that sometimes what seemed like a small act of willfulness to her could be a matter of life and death for others.
"Her health has been poor over the past few years. I originally wanted Aunt Yun to rest at home, but she insisted on staying in the palace."
"Until half a month ago, she couldn't make it. I promised her that I would give Xiaoyue a birthday present..."
There were some tears in Dai Yun'er's eyes and her voice was slightly low.
"I was late in the end."
Dai Yun'er didn't know why she said all this in front of Lin Xuan. Maybe she just wanted to show him her true self?
Her eyes were downcast and she looked a little depressed.
"At least it was delivered. If you hadn't come, things would have been completely different."
Lin Xuan comforted.
If it weren't for Dai Yun'er's persistence, perhaps all the children in this small town would have become victims of the experiment.
"Um!"
Dai Yun'er responded, then quietly leaned her head on Lin Xuan's shoulder.
The two fell into silence for a moment, just leaning against each other quietly, watching the sun slowly rising in the distance.
After a long time, Dai Yuner's voice sounded.
"Can I take off your mask? Don't you feel uncomfortable?"
"cannot!"
"Oh~Okay! By the way, your name isn't fake either!"
"Uh, well... guess!"
"Yun'er, you should go back!"
Just as the two were talking on the roof, a sturdy young man appeared on the street.
The young man walked over with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He looked at Dai Yun'er, who was leaning on Lin Xuan's shoulder with a smile on her face. His face looked a little bad, and his hands were clenched behind his back and turned pale.
For some reason, he just felt like a blood bag under the tower that was eaten by someone openly, and a feeling of anger and shame filled his whole body.
Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xuan and the other person immediately landed on the roof.
"Crazy brother!"
Dai Yun'er looked at the young man who had arrived in surprise, then stepped forward and protected Lin Xuan behind her.
"Did the emperor ask you to come? When the time comes, I will go back by myself."
Dai Yun'er's tone returned to normal.
So annoying!
Brother Long was indeed like a real brother to her, but he was too rigid, like a fool, and he would do whatever his father told him to do.
Dai Yun'er actually understood what her father meant. If she didn't have any other candidate she liked, she might choose him next year.
"Don't be willful!"
Long Yue frowned and said, how could a princess of a country be so reckless? In fact, he had already rushed here as soon as possible last night.
It would be fine to sneak out of the city to see a palace maid's child, but to openly flirt with a person of unknown origin was really a loss of face for the empire.
Of course the most important thing is that Long Yue felt that Dai Yun'er was most likely deceived by the man in front of him.
A coward who hides his head but shows his tail! I don't know what evil intentions he has.
"I know exactly what I'm doing! You don't need to bother me!"
Dai Yun'er glanced at Lin Xuan behind her and said in a firm tone.
"Girl Yun, don't let me do it. This is His Majesty's order. You are ordered to return to the palace today."
Long Yue said loudly, and the powerful aura on his body surged up and pressed towards the two of them, but most of it was directed at Lin Xuan.
"let me!"
Dai Yun'er was just about to act soft and coax Long Yue, but was suddenly pulled behind by Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked at Long Yue in front of him with a smile. It was obvious that this man was coming for him.
What emperor's oral order? This is just an excuse.
If Dai Yun'er could hear this, she wouldn't be here today. With her personality, she might use the imperial edict as a table leg.
"Humph! You still have some ability!"
Long Yue snorted coldly, looking at Lin Xuan who blocked his momentum, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I thought you were going to hide behind women all the time, it seems you are not such a coward!"
This kid dared to hook up with his little cabbage. Does he really think his fists are useless?
"Whether he is a coward or not, I don't know, but it is better than some people who are arrogant and conceited."
Lin Xuan had a faint smile on his face and looked at Long Yue without showing any weakness.
There is no need to talk about compromise in this kind of situation. If you give in everything, you can't even give up your partner.
"You can try it yourself to see if it's arrogant or not."
Long Yue puffed out his chest and spoke proudly, his smooth scalp glowing in the sun, reflecting the brilliance of a strong man.
This arrogance was not blown by others, but was earned by him beating the younger generation of Xingluo Continent with one punch after another.
"With pleasure!"
Lin Xuan took out a bottle of golden liquid medicine from the soul guide, took a sip, looked at Long Yue with burning eyes, and his aura surged.
It looks like this jumping dragon needs to be punished!
Anyway, my journey in this Star Luo Continent is coming to an end, so it's not a bad idea to take advantage of him.
Looking at the two people's gradually rising momentum, Dai Yun'er on the side looked at Lin Xuan with some worry.
This Long Erlangzi is not only a six-ring soul emperor, but also a battle armor master!
Although it is not clear whether Brother Long's two-character battle armor has been completed, unless he is also a battle armor master, he is still the strongest among those under the Titled Douluo.
At this time, Ling Hua, who had just put Shanna to sleep, also came out from the house next door. Seeing the two people who were on the verge of a tense situation, he hurried to Dai Yuner's side.
What's going on?
Ling Hua looked at Dai Yun'er with a questioning look.
"…"
Dai Yun'er was speechless for a moment. It couldn't be said that this was all for her. The two of them were going to fight.
Will Lin Xuan be beaten when he returns?
"roar!"
A dragon roar emanated from Long Yue's body, and the huge shadow of the Mountain Dragon King's martial spirit attached to his body.
Sword intent surged in Lin Xuan's eyes, and just as he was about to summon the Jinghong Sword, he was suddenly startled, looked to the left, and stretched out his hand to directly embrace Dai Yun'er and the other person.
laugh!
A black crack appeared in the space beside Lin Xuan and the other two.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted quickly and managed to pull Dai Yun'er and the other person away from the danger.
But before Lin Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, a ray of colorful light appeared from the black crack and turned into a big hand which directly grabbed the three people.
"Yun'er!"
Long Yue took a few quick steps and rushed over, but still failed to catch anyone.
After the black crack swallowed the three people, the colorful light that maintained it dissipated, and at the same time the black crack also closed.
Long Yue stood in place and felt some residual breath in the air. The Mountain Dragon King's martial spirit sent a little joy, as if he had met a relative.
"Dragon Valley?"
The tension on his face dissipated a lot.
That was the aura of Dragon Valley. He had entered it once when he was at the fourth ring, but unfortunately he could not find a way to make up for the defect of his martial soul.
Since it is Dragon Valley, it is not very dangerous. If there is any life-threatening situation, Dragon Valley will teleport them out by itself.
As for the space gap, with Dai Yun'er's protective soul guide, it should be no problem for her to avoid this space crack. Long Yue didn't care whether the other two people lived or died.
"But why did Longgu appear earlier this time? And in this place."
Long Yue frowned and said doubtfully.
Dragon Valley is a small subsidiary plane attached to the Xingluo Continent, and has always been floating around the continental space.
Every four years there is an opportunity to get close to the Xingluo Continent, always at the same location, and that is also the only chance to enter the Dragon Valley.
