At this moment, the experts of the Lin family were already extremely flustered. Facing Ye Qiu’s question, everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
Fortunately, there was Lin Hai, a Five Realms expert, around. He could still maintain his composure. He said, “Perfected One, our Lin family has been wandering outside the city for a few days, but we haven’t seen the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. However, we did encounter a few ancient ferocious beasts, and their strength was extraordinary. Our Lin family also paid a heavy price for this and was almost wiped out.
“At this moment, it’s already in an abyss of suffering outside the city. There are battles everywhere. All the major families and famous holy lands have joined the battle. It’s a world-shaking battle.
“Someone saw the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow in the direction of the Southern Ridge last night. At that time, there was a group of escapees. Thousands of people were swallowed by it. No one survived. It was tragic.
“Ever since that night, the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow has disappeared from the Southern Ridge Region. No one knows where it is now. I suspect that it has already entered the uninhabited region.”
Ye Qiu frowned. Things seemed to be developing in the worst direction. Once it entered the uninhabited region, it would be difficult for Ye Qiu to find it again.
The uninhabited region was vast and boundless. There were also hundreds of thousands of mountains. If it found a nest to hide in, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be able to find it even if he searched for a year.
However, Ye Qiu felt that it might appear again because it had come out of the uninhabited region for that mountain treasure. The mountain treasure had yet to be obtained, as long as that old turtle appeared again, it would definitely appear again.
After understanding everything, Ye Qiu nodded and didn’t make things difficult for them.
Although they had offended Ye Qiu before, to the current Ye Qiu, the Lin family was just an ant that could be destroyed with a flick of a finger. He did not take it to heart and could not be bothered with them.
These ants were no longer a threat to him, but it was a little troublesome to deal with them. It would probably take a long time to step on them one by one.
He didn’t have that much time. There were still a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with. Wouldn’t he die of exhaustion if he had to step on every ant that offended him?
The main reason was that Ye Qiu didn’t have a habit of killing. He only did it based on his mood. If he was in a good mood, he could spare your life.
If he was in a bad mood, so what if you were killed on the spot?
“Let’s go.” Ye Qiu calmly said to Xiao Yi after watching for a while. He jumped down from the city and headed towards the wasteland.
Xiao Yi looked at Lin Feng smugly. He caught up to Ye Qiu’s footsteps and took a step forward.
Looking at their departing backs, Lin Feng pounded the city wall angrily and said, “Damn it, didn’t this kid offend Perfected Ye before? How did he become Perfected Ye’s follower in the blink of an eye?”
He could not figure it out. Xiao Yi’s talent and aptitude were completely different from his.
The Xiao family’s strength was far inferior to the Lin family, but now the Xiao family could cozy up to this big shot, while they could only watch from afar.
Lin Hai could tell something. He stroked his beard and looked at his young master before looking at Xiao Yi’s back. He shook his head and sighed. “Sigh… Xiao Yi can’t be considered a genius, but there’s one point in which he’s the most outstanding. And that is… he’s shameless.”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. What kind of explanation was that?
“Uncle Lin, what do you mean?” Lin Feng asked humbly, puzzled.
Seeing that his young master was actually asking for guidance humbly, Lin Hai revealed a satisfied smile and explained, “He usually looks arrogant and despotic, but in reality, his heart is as clear as a mirror. When he meets someone he can’t afford to offend, he can throw away his dignity and admit his mistakes. He can even kneel down to others.
“A man can submit and stand tall. This is not embarrassing. As long as it can bring benefits to the family, this bit of humiliation is nothing.
“I also heard that Xiao Yi offended Perfected Ye previously. It’s said that he knelt down and begged for mercy without any hesitation. He even made up a lie and said that he was some filial son.
“Perhaps Perfected Ye took a fancy to him and was willing to bring him along. Although these actions seem unbearable and lowly, they often buy you a little chance.”
Everyone came to a realization after hearing Lin Hai’s explanation. Lin Feng even called him an expert. Damn it, so this is how I lost. If I had known earlier, I would have knelt down too…
The main reason was that he was so frightened that he did not react at all. Moreover, the two experts beside him had the same temper as him and were very arrogant. They were about to fight without saying a word. Who would have thought that the other party would almost kill them with a single strike?
Lin Feng’s expression turned ugly at the thought of this. This was the first time he felt that he was inferior to Xiao Yi in terms of temperament.
In the face of such danger, Xiao Yi could still remain calm and admit defeat in time. But he was stunned on the spot.
“So the Perfected One likes filial sons?” Lin Feng suddenly realized a problem. During this period of time, he had heard that the eldest young master of the Xiao Clan suddenly seemed to have become a different person. He was very filial to his parents and elders. He had become humble and no longer had his usual arrogance.
Since that was the case, why couldn’t I learn from him and be a filial son? If I perform well, Ye Qiu might like me one day. I don’t expect to obtain any benefits. As long as he could ease the previous grudges, it was all worth it.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng immediately clapped his hands and shouted, “I understand! I want to be a filial son too.”
With that, he turned around and headed home. Everyone reacted with stunned expressions.
Did they hear wrongly? Their young master also knew how to be filial to his parents?
“Haha, unbelievable. Did I hear wrongly? Young Master actually said that he wants to be a filial son too?”
Lin Hai was also a little surprised, but he felt gratified when he saw his young master’s change. At least he didn’t waste his effort. This was already a good start.
It had to be said that there were quite a number of people who had a Ye Qiu phobia. Xiao Yi was one, Lin Feng was another, and Yang Xiao was another.
The three great profligate sons of Guangling seemed to have Ye Qiu phobia.
Currently, only Xiao Yi has almost been cured.
Lin Hai smiled in relief and said as he looked at the two figures on the wasteland that were slowly fading away, “I hope this is a good turning point. Otherwise, who will the Lin family rely on in the future?”
He shook his head and left.
The Great Desolate World placed great importance on the direct bloodline. Basically, there would not be a situation where a concubine’s son inherited it. And Lin Feng was the future successor of the Lin Family. If he failed to live up to expectations, the Lin Family would definitely decline completely in the future.
Lin Hai naturally couldn’t bear to see his family decline. Therefore, he deliberately said those words to provoke him.
All in all, the effect was not bad. However, he did not know how long he could last.
Outside Guangling City, a sea of flames burned in the wilderness.
Two figures slowly walked across the wasteland. They looked at the corpses on the ground, which were covered in blood.
“Hmm… It smells so good. The smell of roasted meat.” Xiao Yi suddenly had a brain fade and said as they walked.
Smack…
Ye Qiu slapped him without hesitation. The roasted meat he was talking about was the corpses that had fallen into the sea of flames.
