Chapter 259 - Departure
After a short daze, Long Zhan finally remembered what was going on. If he didn't remember wrongly, Qin Jue should be the one who brought him here.
But Long Zhan quickly realized there was something wrong. After all, even a spatial passageway wouldn't have brought them here so quickly.
Unless Qin Jue was an expert who had surpassed the Great Void Stage!
But Long Zhan didn't think that it was possible.
Long Zhan felt that it was somewhat absurd.
"You are…"
Long Xiaoyu was puzzled. Although Long Zhan knew who she was, she did not know who Long Zhan was.
The Elders Guild had many members. Apart from a few high-level elders, Long Xiaoyu basically did not know anyone else, let alone a first realm Great Void Stage elder like Long Zhan.
Seeing Long Xiaoyu look over, Long Zhan suddenly regained his senses and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I am the elder guarding the eastern region, Long Zhan."
"Elder of the eastern region?"
Long Xiaoyu frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"…"
Opening his mouth, Long Zhan pointed at Qin Jue and said, "This human has your identity jade tablet and claims to be your friend, so I brought him here to confirm."
"I see."
Long Xiaoyu finally understood what was going on. "He is indeed my friend. You can go back now."
"Huh?"
Long Zhan was stunned, his face full of confusion.
Because he fainted just now, Long Zhan did not know what happened.
However, now that the Divine Maiden herself had verified it, how could Long Zhan dare to continue doubting? He could only lower his head and quickly leave the main hall. From beginning to end, he did not dare to look at Long Kun above him.
Watching Long Zhan leave, Long Xiaoyu asked again, "What about it? Are you interested, Senior?"
Long Xiaoyu was full of anticipation as she said this. She was exceptionally cute and looked like a child waiting for an adult to give her a reward.
"Fine."
After a moment of thought, Qin Jue made a decision.
In any case, besides looking for a mount, he also planned to take a look at the top factions. However, he might have to go back on his word. After all, he had told Bai Ye that he would only be gone for ten days.
At this rate, he would only be able to return after at least another month.
"Yeah."
Long Xiaoyu was overjoyed. Then, she turned around and said to Long Kun, "Father, if Senior is going, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Uh… no problem." After hesitating for a moment, Long Kun answered.
To be honest, Long Kun was still very worried.
No matter what, Qin Jue was still a human, and he also had the strength of a tenth realm Great Void Stage expert. If he wanted to kill Long Xiaoyu, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. How could Long Kun not be worried?
Suddenly, Long Kun realized that he had to accompany them personally!
Thinking like this, Long Kun said, "It just so happens that I have time too. When the time comes, we can all go together."
"Father, you're going to go too?"
Long Xiaoyu was stunned. "Didn't you say that you wanted to stabilize your realm?"
"Stabilize my realm? Did I say that?"
Long Kun pretended to be at a loss. "You must have remembered wrongly."
Long Xiaoyu :"…"
At any rate, she was also in the sixth realm of the Great Void Stage. How could she have remembered wrongly?
However, Long Xiaoyu was not an idiot. She knew very well why Long Kun had suddenly changed his words. However, in her opinion, she believed her father had no reason to worry.
After all, if Qin Jue had wanted to kill her, she would have died long ago.
Moreover, the person in charge of leading the team to participate in the Divine Seal Gathering this time was a super expert only inferior to her Grandpa Patriarch. Moreover, Grandpa Patriarch himself would also secretly observe to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Whether Long Kun went or not made no difference.
"Senior, we'll leave in ten days. You can stay here for the time being." Long Xiaoyu said.
In this way, Qin Jue was arranged to stay near the main hall by Long Xiaoyu's order. The new place Qin Jue would stay at was an even more luxurious courtyard than the one he lived in before. The spirit herbs inside the new courtyard were now level eight instead of six. The whole place was like a world that could only be found in a painting.
Qin Jue first used his divine ability to transfer Yun Xi over before continuing to eat, drink, and play.
Unknowingly, another ten days passed, and Long Xiaoyu arrived as scheduled.
"Senior, we should leave now."
"Mm."
Picking up Yun Xi, who was wolfing down some roasted meat, Qin Jue and Long Xiaoyu left the courtyard and boarded the White Dragon Race's air-transportation spirit artifact.
Rather than calling it an air-transportation spirit artifact, it was more appropriate to call it a "warship". All kinds of spirit energy weapons were installed on it, making it look like a sinister and terrifying prehistoric beast.
One should not underestimate these spirit energy weapons. The more spirit energy the weapon was injected with, the more powerful the weapon would be.
If it was activated by a Great Void Stage expert, it could even easily destroy a small planet.
The arrival of Qin Jue and Long Xiaoyu immediately attracted the attention of the other White Dragon Race experts on the air-transportation spirit artifact. All of them had strange expressions and they all stared at Qin Jue as if they wanted to eat him alive.
"Is that guy the rumored human friend of the Divine Maiden?"
"Hehe, besides being quite handsome, there doesn't seem to be anything special about him."
"Why would Her Highness the Divine Maiden make friends with humans?"
"Could it be because he's handsome?"
"Nonsense, how could Her Highness the Divine Maiden be so superficial!"
"Who cares? This is our territory anyway. If he dares to act rashly, we'll just kill him."
"…"
Everyone whispered among themselves, but they deliberately raised their voices, not caring whether or not Qin Jue heard them.
The experts who were able to board this air-transportation spirit artifact and participate in the Divine Seal Gathering were basically all famous geniuses of the White Dragon Race. They were all arrogant and untamed characters, so why would they care about a human like Qin Jue?
Qin Jue didn't care about this, but Long Xiaoyu couldn't tolerate it.
"Shut up! All of you!"
"If anyone dares to speak nonsense again, I'll beat him up into a pig's head!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire air-transportation spirit artifact fell silent.
Those who were familiar with Long Xiaoyu knew that she had always kept her word. There were a few unlucky people present who had been taught a lesson by Long Xiaoyu. At this moment, they hurriedly shut their mouths because they were afraid of being targeted.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoyu said in satisfaction, "That's more like it."
"…"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but shudder.
"Xiaoyu, you guys are here."
At this moment, Long Kun walked out from inside. He had actually arrived early.
"Isn't that Elder Long Kun?"
"That's right. It's said that Elder Long Kun has already stepped into the tenth realm of the Great Void Stage. This is going to be a good show."
"What do you mean?"
"Idiot, Elder Long Kun is the biological father of Her Highness the Divine Maiden!"
"…"
Everyone was gloating as they awaited Long Kun's next move.
"Father."
Long Xiaoyu revealed a sweet smile in front of her father and slightly restrained herself.
"Mr. Qin."
Long Kun nodded slightly at Qin Jue.
"Mm." Qin Jue said in response.
"???"
Witnessing this scene, everyone was in an uproar.
"Am I seeing things? Elder Long Kun actually addressed that human as "Mr. Qin"!"
"Crazy, this world must be crazy!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"…"
Everyone could not believe their eyes and ears.
They had never thought that the tenth realm Great Void Stage elder of their race would actually address a human as "Mr. Qin".
Most importantly, this elder was the son of the current patriarch and the biological father of the Divine Maiden!
One could only imagine how shocked these White Dragon Race experts were.
However, the truth was right in front of them.. They had no choice but to accept reality.
