"Lin Xiao! You said it yourself! Not only do you have to compensate me now, but you also have to compensate Sister Yanyan! I don't want anything from you, sister, I just want you to serve me and Sister Yanyan for a day!"
"You must guarantee that you will serve both of us well!"
Shui Bing'er is well-behaved and sensible, what does that have to do with her, Ye Lingling?
She, Ye Lingling, is just insatiable!
Lin Xiao: "..."
He looked at Ye Lingling with some speechlessness.
"Then, Sister Ling Ling, how exactly do you want me to serve you?"
Ye Lingling grumbled:
"We'll talk about it then!"
"Little Lin Xiao, you are not allowed to do anything that makes me unhappy in the future! Otherwise, I can't guarantee how I'll make you serve me~"
Just as Lin Xiao was about to speak, suddenly, the team of knights who had previously apprehended Tang San in the Pope's Palace reappeared. The Knight Captain knelt on one knee and respectfully said to Lin Xiao:
"Your Excellency Lin Xiao, a distinguished elder wishes to see you. May we trouble you to come with us?"
This scene not only surprised Lin Xiao, but also astonished everyone in the Burning Maple Battle Team beside him!
Everyone easily recalled the first time this team of knights appeared, the cold and ruthless scene of apprehending Tang San, ready to kill without question if there was any resistance.
But now, the other party was kneeling on one knee, showing extreme humility in front of Lin Xiao, their posture practically at the lowest point!
Arrogant before and respectful after, if Tang San saw this, wouldn't he be so angry he'd spit blood?
Lin Xiao frowned.
"A distinguished elder?"
After a moment's thought, he knew that this elder was very likely one of the three Limit Douluos of the current era, a figure truly standing at the peak of the continent.
It's just,
Why would Qian Daoliu want to see him?
Everyone in the Burning Maple Battle Team cast worried glances at Lin Xiao.
Dugu Yan even hesitated and said:
"Lin Xiao, should we ask my grandfather first?"
The Knight Captain said with some difficulty:
"I have received orders that I must immediately invite His Excellency Lin Xiao to come. Please rest assured, there is no need to worry about safety. That is the safest place on the entire continent."
Lin Xiao cast a comforting look at everyone in the Burning Maple Battle Team and chuckled softly:
"Don't worry, I probably know who wants to see me. Nothing will happen."
Although Lin Xiao didn't know why Qian Daoliu wanted to see him, he could roughly be certain that the other party wouldn't harm him.
If the other party truly wanted Lin Xiao's life, Lin Xiao was currently in Spirit City, and even if he ran, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Moreover, although Qian Daoliu was defined as a villain in the original work, in many aspects, he was far more upright than "protagonists" like Tang San, and could even be said to possess a knightly spirit.
Lin Xiao told everyone to go back and say hello to Dugu Bo and Ye Qingxian, then he followed the Knight Captain to the Hall of Enshrinement.
In his mind, Feng Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
"Lin Xiao, if you go a little further, it will be the inheritance ground of a God. At that time, I won't be able to communicate with you at all, otherwise that God might notice something."
Lin Xiao asked with some surprise:
"God?"
"Are you talking about the Angel God?"
Feng Yu nodded slightly.
"That's right, it's the God I mentioned before who also possesses the Solar Authority. This kind of God is generally of the lawful series. If you display the Solar Authority on you, her innate favorability towards you won't be low."
"Perform well. Although in my previous life, I wouldn't even bother to look at this God, for you now, she is still out of reach."
"If she truly values you and reveals even a little benefit from her fingernail, it will benefit you immensely."
Lin Xiao: "..."
He was somewhat skeptical.
"Feng Yu, are you sure what you're saying is true?"
"Why do I find it a bit hard to believe?"
Feng Yu chuckled.
"Don't underestimate yourself."
"It's just that the Angel God's Godhood already has an inheritor. Otherwise, she would rather abandon the descendants of the Angel race and choose you as her successor."
"Alright, we're almost there."
"I can't communicate with you now, and you shouldn't try to talk to me either. If my existence is discovered, prepare for the worst-case scenario of fleeing for our lives together."
Immediately after, Feng Yu fell silent.
Lin Xiao found that even he couldn't sense Feng Yu's presence anymore, but fortunately, the sensation in his hair was quite real.
...
Passing the Pope's Palace and arriving at the Hall of Enshrinement.
Along the way, one could see people whose expressions suddenly changed after seeing Lin Xiao's figure and destination.
Then they hurried towards the Pope's Palace.
The Knight Captain sneered.
"A snitching lackey."
Although Lin Xiao didn't know what happened, he vaguely guessed that the person just now had probably gone to report to Bibi Dong.
Although Dong Jie is essentially a crazy love-struck person, the image she has created in front of outsiders is quite successful. At the very least, within the Spirit Hall and even the Two Great Empires, there is a large number of fanatical Pope fans.
He arrived at the Hall of Enshrinement.
From a distance, he could see the massive Angel God statue, radiating a sacred and glorious aura. Just a glance gave one a feeling of inviolability, accompanied by a faint, invisible pressure.
Standing before the Angel God statue was a figure in golden hair and a white robe, tall and handsome. As he stood there quietly, it seemed as though the world revolved around him.
The Knight Captain had already left by this point, and Lin Xiao walked forward alone.
"Junior Lin Xiao greets the Great Enshrinement."
Qian Daoliu turned around, a hint of curiosity in his indifferent tone.
"You know me?"
"Junior enjoys reading biographies of famous people and learning about history. A hundred years ago, Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall and Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect were both peerless figures who dominated the era. At that time, who in the world didn't know them, who wasn't aware?"
Lin Xiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Qian Daoliu smiled, "I didn't expect this old man to still be known."
"But I am old."
"The future belongs to you young people. The younger generation is formidable."
"At the same age, I couldn't have reached your level."
Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon Lin Xiao, examining him closely, the astonishment in his eyes growing stronger.
"Bone reborn from cold, natural bearing."
"This is not just about appearance."
"No wonder Xue'er is interested in you."
Qian Daoliu seemed certain that Lin Xiao didn't know Qian Renxue, so he didn't deliberately hide anything in his words.
Lin Xiao feigned confusion, but inwardly, he had a sudden realization:
He wondered why Qian Daoliu would look for him for no reason. So it was Qian Renxue's doing!
"Come up, let me take a good look at you."
This was a commanding tone.
But instead of feeling uncomfortable, it felt somewhat flattering, like the usual concern of a benevolent elder.
Lin Xiao ascended the steps and walked forward.
The moment he approached the Angel God statue.
Suddenly!
A faint glow emanated from the massive Angel God statue. Its eyes seemed to come alive, staring at Lin Xiao.
Just as Qian Daoliu's face showed surprise and shock, a sacred white light suddenly radiated from the massive Angel God statue, enveloping Lin Xiao and making him appear like a Saint Child.
Bathed in the white light, Lin Xiao felt warm all over, as if soaking in a hot spring. The fatigue in his spirit and body was washed away.
He suppressed the urge to ask Feng Yu about it, thinking that this Angel God was quite hospitable, giving him light as soon as he arrived. It would be even better if he could borrow the light during a fight.
Qian Daoliu, on the other hand, gasped in astonishment.
"The Angel God's blessing?"
"How is this possible!!!"
