Part 1 Chapter 6 Stay? Walk?

While Yawen was training his mental power, the study room in Yulei's house was still lit.

Two figures were sitting inside, Yulei and Lian.

They looked at each other with serious expressions. Lian asked, "Brother-in-law, what's your decision? Do you agree or not to let Yawen go?"

Yulei frowned and said, "Do you really think the situation is so dire that you must take Yawen away immediately to avoid risks?"

Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Although I don't know the details, based on the confidential reports from the Tai Long Empire, my father learned that De Ye Wang is planning a major move against your Stadak family. That's why he urgently asked me to come and advise you to make a timely decision, escape from Hua Na Bangguo, and also bring Yawen back. He doesn't want anything to happen to his only niece."

Yulei sighed, "Is that so? So even my father-in-law in the distant empire knows about the crisis in my family."

Lian waved his hand dismissively and said, "Hmph! Brother-in-law, even Yawen can see through De Ye Wang's intentions. What are you hesitating for? Moreover, if it weren't for him, how could you be bombarded by those senators in the council every day? If De Ye Wang didn't tacitly approve, who would dare?"

"Believe me, with the reputation of our family, even if we don't come to the Tai Long Empire, we can go to any other country and be welcomed with open arms. It's better than suffering here and risking our lives." Lian said sincerely.

Yulei was angry and said, "Lian, stop saying these things again. If you keep talking like this, I won't consider you as my little brother-in-law anymore."

Lian fell silent when he heard this.

After a while, Yulei realized that he had spoken too harshly, and said, "I'm sorry, Lian, I know you're doing this for my own good. I was a bit harsh in my words."

He continued, "I hope you can understand. My father and I have devoted half of our lives to this country, and the children were born and raised here. It's difficult for me to turn away from it."

"Let's continue to give our last efforts for this country. If it still doesn't work, I will resign and retire with my whole family, no longer meddling in worldly affairs."

"As for Yawen, you can talk to him yourself. If he's willing, you can take him away."

Yulei looked exhausted and helpless as he said these words. It was evident that the situation had become unbearable. Otherwise, Yulei, known for his resoluteness, would not have uttered such weak words.

Lian nodded in understanding.

However, little did the two of them know that someone had overheard their conversation that night.

The next morning, Yawen, who hadn't slept all night, walked out of the room with a refreshed spirit. As he looked at the garden outside, he suddenly realized that everything was different.

Amidst the lush greenery, life was thriving. The flowers and plants in the garden were showing their liveliness under the sunlight, and the insects and birds on the trees were happily displaying their lives.

He took a deep breath of fresh air and felt that his body and mind had never been so relaxed.

"Yawen said with joy, 'Xiao Xing, let's go practice.'

With a loud howl, Greedy Wolf Star opened its small mouth and shot a golden light that hit a thicket five meters to the left.

The thicket was knocked askew by Greedy Wolf Star's impact cannon, revealing a figure behind it that was using light blue energy to neutralize the impact cannon.

Yawen exclaimed, 'Xiao Jiu, is that you?'

He recognized that the figure behind the thicket was his nephew, Leon.

Leon smiled and said, 'Yawen, tell that mythical beast not to attack me. I have something to discuss with you.'

Yawen was surprised that his nephew had something to discuss with him so early in the morning, and even more surprised that Greedy Wolf Star had detected him from five meters away and fired the impact cannon without his command.

While stopping Greedy Wolf Star from firing another impact cannon, Yawen asked, 'Nephew, what brings you here?'

Leon didn't answer Yawen's question and instead asked, 'Where did you get that mythical beast? What level is it? It seems to belong to the Wolf series?'

Yawen first called out, 'Xiao Xing, reveal.'

Greedy Wolf Star returned to Yawen's right hand, and he said, 'Nephew, you forgot about the surprise! This is the "Holy Mythical Beast" you gave me.'

Leon was initially taken aback, but then he remembered the incident from five years ago and blurted out, 'The egg that didn't hatch?'

Yawen gritted his teeth and said, 'Yes! Nephew, you didn't expect this, did you?'

Leon couldn't help but feel embarrassed and awkward.

Seeing Leon's expression, Yawen couldn't help but laugh, and Leon also laughed along.

Mumbling to himself, Leon said, 'I didn't expect that the mythical beast egg that hadn't hatched in a hundred years would actually hatch.'

'Yawen, is it a holy mythical beast?' asked Yawen, seeing Leon's excitement, but she couldn't help but pour cold water on him, saying, 'I don't know. At least, apart from not having any attributes, it's no different from a regular mythical beast in other ways.'

Then Yawen told Leon everything that had happened from the time he hatched Greedy Wolf Star to the point where it recognized him as its master. After listening, Leon fell into deep thought.

'Yawen, if what you said is true, I don't know if this Greedy Wolf Star is a holy mythical beast, but one thing I can be sure of is that it must be a mythical beast left over from ancient times.'

After Leon finished speaking, he saw Yawen looking puzzled, so he explained, 'As far as I know, modern mythical beasts only need to record their master's mental characteristics when recognizing a master, and then they will follow these mental characteristics to obey their master's commands in the future. However, in ancient times, in addition to mental characteristics, the blood of the master was also required to complete the identification of the master.'

'But this type of mythical beast can change along with the physical condition of the master. The advantage is that when the master's abilities improve, the mythical beast's abilities will also improve, especially when the master gains new abilities, the mythical beast will also develop new abilities. The disadvantage is that when the master's abilities decline, the mythical beast will also weaken accordingly, and the extent of its rise and fall is unmatched by today's mythical beasts. Later, some people discovered that if the mythical beast weakened along with

Leon saw the admiration in Yawen's eyes, and secretly chuckled. He said, "I'm actually planning to go home for a visit this time. If you're interested, why not come with me to the Long family? On one hand, you can see these books, and on the other hand, you can also visit the place where your mother grew up. Moreover, besides your grandparents visiting when your mother was sick, you haven't seen them before. You can also visit them along the way and make the two elderly people happy."

Wow, using both temptation and family affection, Leon was quite pleased when he saw Yawen nodding in agreement. He thought to himself, "It's amazing that I was able to come up with this impromptu speech."

Suddenly, Yawen, who was about to nod, shook his head halfway through and said, "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, but I can't go to the Tai Long Empire with you now."

Leon was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

Yawen hesitated and said, "Uncle, if you had proposed this yesterday, I would have been happy to go to the Tai Long Empire with you. But now, I can't go with you."

Leon knew that Yawen was worried about the crisis in their family, but he still asked, "Why?"

Sure enough, Yawen answered, "Uncle, as you know, my family is facing a big crisis. If it was before yesterday, I might have gone with you to see my grandparents. But now, if I go with you, it would be like abandoning my family in the midst of the crisis."

Leon thought it was a pity, but he couldn't give up. He quickly came up with a new argument.

He said seriously, "Yawen, you're wrong to think that way. I'm not asking you to abandon your family. On the contrary, if something really happens, you should do exactly that. Just think about it, even if you stay here, what help can you provide to your family?"

"To be blunt, the current situation and the real environment are more complex than you can imagine. Even your grandfather and father, who were heroes in their time, are worried about it. What do you think a little child like you can do?"

"In terms of martial strength, without even a 'kai', what kind of help can you provide?"

"Furthermore, if the situation is really bad enough that your family has to leave the duchy, with you by their side, wouldn't it be an extra burden for your father and brothers?"

"So, no matter how you look at it, it's definitely not wrong for you to come with me."

Yawen fell silent when he heard this, because what Leon said was all true, but...

"Uncle, it seems like you really want me to go to the Tai Long Empire with you. Why?" Yawen asked Leon with a head full of question marks.

Leon couldn't help but hesitate. He couldn't just say that he was here because your family's situation is so dire that they might meet with disaster, and your grandfather is worried about your safety, so he asked me to bring you back.

He forced a smile and said, "Why would you think that way? You brought up the topic yourself, and I was just going along with what you said. Originally, I just asked if you wanted to come to the Tai Long Empire to play, but you're reading too much into it."

As smart as Yawen was, he could see that Leon's response was reluctant. After a moment of careful consideration, he had already made up his mind.

With a smile on his face, Leon replied with a double entendre, "Thank you for your kind offer, Xiaojie. I don't plan to leave just yet. Please convey my greetings to your grandfather and grandmother, and let them know that Xiaopin wants to spend time with her family for now. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely go to the Tai Long Empire to see them."

Leon sighed, realizing that Xiaopin had understood his intentions and responded accordingly.

Shaking his head, Leon couldn't think of much else to say at this point.
