Chapter 130 Entrustment

  A long, long line of people marched towards Fengyu City, with several men in uniform riding war horses at the front. Among them, a horse that was snowy white from head to toe was particularly eye-catching. Following behind were dense rows of soldiers marching on foot. This army of about 50,000 troops was the last batch of reserve forces of the Southern Dynasty's First Army Group.

  "Xiaoyao, this time I'm going to Fengyucheng. I need your help." Liu Tian said calmly.

  "You want me to be responsible for that security?" Leng Xiao seemed to have expected Liu Tian's words, so he asked directly after the other opened his mouth.

  Liu Tian's face broke into a smile as he said, "A hero rescuing a beauty is a matter for the young. I'm already past my prime, of course I should let you young people take care of it, what do you say?"

  Leng Xiangyao glanced at Liu Tian and thought to herself, "You always seem dissatisfied with Bai Mang. It turns out you still care about him after all!"

  "Do you think they'll come to assassinate Uncle and Miss Bai?" asked Leng Xiao Yao.

  "Haha!" Liu Tian's face revealed a faint smile as he said, "During the expedition on the Maya continent, there was no instance of the enemy sending an expert to assassinate the opposing commander. What's strange is that I was worried because Miss and that little scoundrel were with me. With just one person protecting two people, my attention would be divided. Now that you're here, you can help your older brother share some of the burden."

  "Heh heh! Is creating a distance between you two really worth your trust?"

  Liu Tian's eyes revealed a hint of cunning as he said, "You little scamp seems to have made another big breakthrough in your cultivation recently, haven't you?"

  Wisdom, Ten Thousand

  "En." Leng Xiangyao didn't think of hiding the secret of his cultivation advancement at all, and naturally nodded.

  "If I'm not mistaken, your current cultivation is higher than mine, isn't it?" Liu Tian said with a faint smile.

  "Alright."

  Liu Tian heard Leng Xiao's confirmation, and his face didn't show any signs of jealousy. Instead, a smile appeared on his face as he said: "This is all that matters, you little scamp now has at least the cultivation of a high-level Sword Saint, plus that divine golden staff of yours. Even if you were to encounter a peak Sword Saint, I believe you wouldn't be at a disadvantage. With such a powerful expert protecting her, what do I have to worry about?"

  "The Sword Saint has arrived, but I'm not enough to take him down. Bring a beginner Sword God and it's just about right." Leng Xiao Yao thought to himself, but his mouth asked: "Isn't Liu worried that the other side will send out a famous Sword God?"

  "God of Sword? How is that possible?" Liu Tian's face showed a smile, as if he had just heard a joke.

  Leng Xianyao saw Liu Tian's expression and slightly furrowed his brow, saying: "Liu Lao, there's something I forgot to tell you. When I was in the Northern Country, I met the deposed ruler of the Northern Country at a wine tower. At that time, three swordsmen at the Sword God level came to capture him, but were stopped by a mysterious young man."

  "What?" Liu Tian's face changed greatly. He immediately reined in his horse and stood there in a daze.

  "What's going on?" Bai Meng heard Liu Tian's faint voice and reined in his warhorse to ask.

  Liu Tian heard Bai Mang's question and came back to his senses. He patted the war horse while asking, "Xiaoyao, is this really true?"

  "Liu Lao, did you think it was necessary for Xiang Yao to tell this lie?" Cold Xiang Yao said with a bitter smile.

  "Let me think for a moment." Liu Tian nodded and fell into thought. Although he had some doubts about what Leng Xiao Yao said, in fact, he believed that Leng Xiao Yao wouldn't randomly fabricate facts. But where did the Sword God of the Tian Long Kingdom come from? And there were three of them at once, was it possible? A thought flashed through Liu Tian's mind, if it was really like that, then the Tian Long Kingdom would have such high-level experts existing, and if it was true, wouldn't the Nan Chao Kingdom also face the threat of destruction?

  After dozens of breaths, Liu Tian's face turned serious, and he sighed, pleading with Leng Xuan: "Xuan, I have a favor to ask of you, please promise me you'll agree."

  "Liu is serious about it. If you have anything on your mind, just say it freely."

  "If, hypothetically if, the Southern Dynasty were to lose in a desperate situation on the battlefield. You would immediately take Miss and leave this place, find a quiet spot to take care of her, can you?" This sentence was not spoken by Liu Tian's mouth, but was transmitted through sound transmission.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Liu Tian's voice transmission. The acupuncture points on his forehead jumped once, and he hastily replied: "Liu Lao, are you worried that the Tian Long Kingdom and the Da Ri Island will join forces?"

  "Alas! If not for this possibility, how would the Tianlong Empire invite so many top-notch experts from there?" Liu Tian's tone was filled with helplessness. Although he was a Sword Saint-level expert and could roam freely on the Maya continent, that was only true when facing ordinary cultivators. But once they encountered a Sword God-level expert, these Sword Saint-level experts wouldn't even be able to withstand a single finger from them.

  Leng Xiao Yao heard Liu Tian's words of emotion and fell silent, because everything Liu Tian had guessed was true.

  "Alright, I promise you."

  "Alright, thank you. Xiangyang." Liu Tian's tone was filled with emotion as he continued: "Xiangyang. Perhaps you will wonder why I am not Snow's real family member, yet I love her so much!"

  Hehe. Xiao Yao, you can't imagine, a girl who lost her mother from the moment she was born. At the moment of her mother's death, I couldn't forget her mother's entrustment to me, asking me to help take care of Xue Er for three years, saying that after three years, her father would return triumphantly and take over. At first, I really didn't want to accept this entrustment, but when I saw the look in Xue Er's mother's eyes, my heart softened, and I agreed. In these three years, I watched Xue Er grow up from a baby, learning to walk and talk, and witnessed her growth step by step. Three years later, I had completed my task and was about to leave when war broke out between the Northern Country, the Beastman Country, and the Southern Dynasty. That rascal Bai Meng got himself into trouble again, forgetting his promise completely. I still remember clearly the look in Xue Er's eyes that day when he left - a look that I couldn't express. From then on, I vowed to let Xue Er grow up happily. So, in a fit of anger, I took Xue Er and left the capital for Linshan City. But who knew that Xue Er seemed to be possessed by some kind of demon, every day asking me to find her military books, crazily burying her head in them, one after another, for thirteen years.

  Listening quietly to Liu Tian's feelings, he only understood now that the seemingly happy Bai Xue was actually so unfortunate in her childhood. No wonder there would be a hint of desolation in her eyes from time to time. So that's how it is.

  "Whoa!!!!!" The procession in front came to a halt, and Leng Xiao Yao only then appeared, it turned out that he and Liu Tian had been chatting with each other through sound transmission, and unknowingly they had already arrived at their destination.

  "Pass down the order, the whole army is ready for battle. Be prepared to fight at any time." Bai Mang ordered a few generals beside him.

  "Yes, Marshal." Several generals responded and galloped away in different directions, whipping their horses while shouting to the troops: "The First Battalion, follow me!"

  "The second battalion follows me."

  "Third Battalion... Fourth Battalion"

  Liu Tian saw that after starting to set up camp and adjust the troops, he said to Leng Xiangbao: "Miss Xiao Yao is handed over to you, I am called Jizi."

  "En" nodded calmly, then squeezed the unicorn's abdomen with his legs. The latter seemed to understand its master's intention and walked to a horse-drawn carriage before stopping.

  The beauty sitting in the carriage seemed to sense that her sweetheart had arrived, lifted up the canvas, revealing a beautiful face, and asked: "Lord Long, have we arrived?"

  Leng Xiangyao dismounted and smiled at Bai Xue: "Miss Bai, we've arrived at our destination. It's better for you to get off the horse carriage and follow me on foot. The horse carriage is too eye-catching, if the enemy comes to ambush us, it won't be good for you."

  "Where's Grandpa Liu?" Bai Xue asked, looking around and not seeing Liu Tian's figure.

  "Liu went to protect his uncle."

  "Really." A gleam of joy flashed in Bai Xue's eyes. With a smile on her face, she said: "Then you're here to protect me?"

  "En." Leng Xiao Yao nodded slightly and turned his head away, not daring to look at Xue Er's beautiful face. He was afraid he would get lost in it.

  "Thank you." Xue Er saw Leng Xiao Yao glance back and her heart's joy immediately dropped by half.

  "Come down!" Ling Xiao stretched out his palm.

  "Alright." Xue'er stretched out her hand and borrowed the power of Leng Xiao Yao's palm to lightly jump off the carriage.

  "Come with me."

  "Oh!"

  Two figures strolled through the mountain valley, heading towards the middle of the mountain. Along the way, soldiers passing by saw the two figures and saluted them, asking about their well-being. It was unavoidable, after all, Leng Xiao Yao had performed exceptionally well in that one battle at the military camp. In the military, strength is revered, so these soldiers naturally admired Leng Xiao Yao greatly.

  On the mountain waist, two figures stood on the mountain road, looking at the Wind and Rain City that appeared below. The two were silent. A gust of clear wind blew over.

  His heart was filled with a mix of emotions, as he caught the sweet scent wafting from the beautiful woman beside him. His mind went blank, unsure of how to break the silence. Even in his past life, where he was an elite among elites, he was clueless when it came to matters of the heart. And now, in this new world, he still hadn't figured out how he got here. Romance was the last thing on his mind, especially with the weight of his many blood debts still unsettled. He couldn't possibly calm down and face his loved one until those debts were repaid.

  At this moment, it's not just Leng Xiao Yao who is in a state of turmoil. Bai Xue's heart is also racing as she faces the man who has made her feel something for the first time since growing up. The man who has saved her life multiple times, she had never felt such a warm haven before. Even when she was about to face death in the military camp, she thought that if she could just see this man one last time, she wouldn't have any regrets. And yet, at the moment of her despair, he really did appear by her side. At that moment, she felt extremely happy.

  "Kill!!! Kill!!!" The sound of killing shouts came from outside Fengyu City.

  Ten thousand horses galloping, the momentum of a thousand troops and ten thousand horses. Although he had experienced it before, at that time he was only in the vanguard camp of the fierce tiger team, because he was on the battlefield, so he couldn't feel that kind of momentum. This time, standing on the mountain waist, he truly felt the momentum of this large-scale war. He couldn't express this feeling with words. But he felt the hot blood in his body surging up, and a desire to rush into the battlefield and kill.

  Bai Xue gazed at the distant battlefield and sighed softly, "Alas! War, I wonder how many more families will be torn apart, and how many lives will be lost?"

  "Humans are endless. Where there are people, there is war." Lan Xue said calmly, after all, she had experienced more than this blank sheet of paper could understand.

  "Why can't they just put aside their differences? Must they resort to armed conflict?"

  "They all have their own stance, some are fighting for their own interests, while others are fighting for their homeland."

  "What if Father loses?" A hint of worry appeared on Bai Xue's face.

  He gazed calmly at the worry and sorrow revealed on her pale face, feeling an urge to hold this beauty in front of him in his arms. However, he forcibly restrained himself, smiling faintly: "You should have faith in your father, things haven't reached the worst yet."

  Above the heads of the two, a middle-aged man wearing an ancient long gown stood, paying attention to Leng Xueyao and Bai Xue. Seeing their appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head, revealing a helpless expression: "Alas! The ruthless way, the murderous way, indeed harming people is not shallow!"

  "Life, since you know the harm is not shallow, why did you make such a move at first?" A voice rang out, and a young man appeared beside the middle-aged man. If Leng Xiao Yao saw this person, he would definitely be surprised and exclaimed: "Long."

  The middle-aged man heard the newcomer's words and didn't seem to find it strange that the young man had arrived. He revealed a bitter smile on his face, saying: "Old Long, stop talking about me all the time, this decision wasn't made by me, but by my master, isn't that right? Who made him the destined person? Do you think I'm willing to stay in this godforsaken place?"

  "What a coincidence, this guy, the Chaos Pearl's successor seems to have appeared three times already! Which time was successful? I really can't understand what your master is trying to do. Is he playing with us?" The young man's face showed disdain.

  The middle-aged man's face turned solemn as he gazed coldly at the young man, saying word by word: "You can insult me, but you cannot insult my master. Otherwise, don't blame me for breaking my original oath. I'll destroy you."

  The young man seemed to have a kind of fear towards the mysterious man, seeing the middle-aged man's expression, he hastily waved his hand and said: "Alright! No more joking around, I won't say it anymore. But this little guy's matter... Don't you really want to tell him?"

  The middle-aged man's face slightly reduced its chill upon hearing the young man's words, and he said with a straight face: "It's not time yet, let's talk about it when he breaks through to the Silver Body Boundary!"

  "Cut it out, don't pretend to be so mighty here. You're only at the Rebirth Realm yourself. If you keep showing off like that, you'll get surpassed by this little guy and that would be hilarious, haha!" The young man seemed to have thought of something amusing and burst into loud laughter, but no matter how hard he laughed, his voice couldn't seem to travel more than a meter outside their bodies, as if the space around them had become isolated.

  The middle-aged man heard this sarcastic remark and smiled faintly at the young man, saying: "What? Why don't we have a little spar?"

  The young man gave him a glance and said: "Forget it. I'd rather be haunted by a ghost than fight with you, I'm not looking for trouble, my brain is fine, I'll leave first."

  The young man disappeared into thin air after finishing speaking, while the latter had a hint of a smile on his face. He looked at the figure on the ground with a cold and carefree expression. He muttered a sentence in his mouth, and his figure also merged into the air, disappearing without a trace.
