Tian Che kept looking at the water man in his hand, but the other party remained silent for a long time, so he took the initiative to test: "I heard something about the Xuhai. If there is anything you can do to help, you might as well mention it to me.

"

"You?" Long Yin came back to his senses, but he snorted coldly and dismissed it, "The Lingyin tribe is a tribe that chose to escape from the Xuhai. Since they gave up their homeland, they will always be homeless. Oh, worldly affairs

Impermanence, you took the initiative to leave for self-protection because the sea of ​​​​ruins was drying up day by day, but you didn’t expect that you perished before your hometown. It’s really ridiculous and sad.”

Tian Che pursed his lips. Although the other party said sarcastic words, his tone was very sad, as if he had some heartache that he couldn't suppress. Long Yin rubbed his eyes and found that there were a few tears in the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help but

He laughed: "Except for the original sea dragon god, most of the other royal families in the Xuhai are dragons, and the dragon tribe has many branches. The Lingyin tribe is the submerged dragon in the offshore sea, and I am the deep sea dragon. After the ice abnormality appeared in the original sea,

Affected by it, the ruins seas in various places have been hit by natural disasters one after another, and the ruins sea we are in is almost drying up."

Long Yin sighed deeply. The life of the dragon clan was not as long as the dragon god, and it was far less than the legendary phoenix. From her childhood until now, the "Xuhai" in her eyes was just a desert with only a few oases.

The water can still barely gush out.

According to legends within the Mingming clan, the Xuhai is a clear ocean, full of spiritual power, and countless mermaids, dragons, water snakes, and pythons live in it, but she has never seen such a scene.

Long Yin pressed his forehead helplessly, veins popped out on his hands, but his tone was very calm: "The Ruins Sea here is about to be destroyed. The last time Dongming shattered, the few oases were completely destroyed. Wait until the last drop of sea water dries up.

, I can no longer live here, I must get the dragon bone remains, and I must know the truth about Yuan Hai, even if I am not their opponent at all... I can't continue to sit still and wait for death."

Tian Che's expression was awe-inspiring, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Long Yin instantly made up his mind. Even if there were not many people in the ruins sea where she was, she was still the princess here and she would fight for it until the last moment.

Long Yin slowed down, and he saw Tian Che's somewhat sad face through the water people. Thinking of the weak and sentimental nature of their clan, he could only smile and comfort him: "It has been a few days since the Lingyin clan left Xuhai.

Thousands of years ago, you were the hidden dragons in the offshore. After the Ruins Sea began to dry up, the Lingyin tribe was the first to be threatened, so your ancestors chose to abandon their homeland. I don’t blame them, and the hidden dragons and dragons are of the same blood.

They are connected, and the Sea Soul Seal is the best proof."

"Oh?" Tian Che unexpectedly touched the mark on his neck. All along, he only knew that it was something that could never be opened except by death. It would allow them to take off their human skin and return to the original state again.

"The Ruins Sea can be left but not entered. Although the royal family respected the decision of the Lingyin Clan, after all, blood is thicker than water, so they gave you this sea soul seal. When your life comes to an end, if you still want to return to the sea,

If you return to your hometown, you can untie its shackles and return to its hidden form. Unfortunately...it seems that after so many years, very few hidden dragons are willing to come back."

Long Yin paused, then suddenly his face darkened and he suddenly blurted out: "Your seal seems to have been released. Once this thing is released, it cannot be recovered. What on earth did you go through?"

"Me..." Tian Che smiled helplessly and replied, "I don't know if it was luck or necessity. The person who saved me came from the heaven. Why did he take action... I don't know either."

"Go to heaven..." Long Yin whispered, obviously these three words were not unfamiliar. Her eyes were serious, and she didn't say anything for a long time. After waiting for a long time, Tian Che saw that she had been silent, so he could only warn Shui Ren first.

He wrapped it up with spiritual magic and followed Xiao Qianye back to the ship.

Two days later, the merchant ship slowly sailed through the foggy sea. A whistle was heard from the naval fleet in the distance. Xiao Qianye heard the sound and saw that the escorting fleet was changing its course. A ship was approaching very close.

He could already see the figure standing on the deck. He was startled and subconsciously took a few steps forward. The ship stopped not far away, and the person opposite waved to him as if to say goodbye.

"Adoptive father..." Finally recognizing the figure on the deck, Xiao Qianye was stunned. His adoptive father had already resigned from office, and this time he actually sent him out to sea in person! It was like time was reversed for a moment, and the scenes from his childhood were vividly in his mind.

That year, he was still a young child, and by virtue of his special status as a noble in the imperial capital, he was personally escorted by the navy. His adoptive father leaned on the deck. Although his eyes were filled with reluctance, he only asked him to take good care of himself.

After so many years, he is no longer the child full of longing for the Central Plains, but has an inseparable feeling for the injured island behind him.

The ship did not continue to approach and soon returned to its own route. After the navy evacuated, the merchant ship continued to move forward into the high seas area of ​​​​Zhongyuan and Feiyuan. At this time, there were many more ships on the sea.

, they are all merchant ships traveling between various places, and they seem to have known each other for a long time. People on both sides waved greetings from a distance.

Xiao Qianye breathed a sigh of relief. He had been tense during this period, fearing another accident at sea. Now that he finally entered the Central Plains safely, he could relax a little.

The sun became brighter and dazzling, and there was no longer the strange mist on the blue sea. Yun Xiao ran out of the room happily and hugged him from behind, smiling happily. Xiao Qianye pulled her to him with a calm expression.

In front of him, the two of them faced the sea breeze and looked into the distance together. Although he felt more relaxed than ever before, he was still thinking about his brother in the imperial capital. He silently took out the things that Zheng Fan had secretly given to him and handed them to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao took it carefully, held it in front of her eyes with both hands, and said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this your family crest?"

She suddenly remembered something important, and quickly took out the family emblem she had been keeping from her arms. After putting the two together, she discovered that the current one had been damaged, and the outer ring was repaired with exquisite white jade.

, and when he looked inside carefully, Yun Xiao's eyes suddenly flickered, and he found four small words engraved on the inner ring of white jade, but they were Xiao Qianye's own handwriting: "Don't worry, don't think."

She looked at the people around her hesitantly, and found that he had his eyes closed and pressed his forehead gently with his hand. Knowing that he must be worried about Xiao Yibai's safety at this moment, Yun Xiao quickly patted Xiao Qianye's back to comfort him: "Don't

Too anxious, Emperor Tianzun is willing to let us back, the Night King must have fulfilled his request, big brother, big brother has always cared about you, he will definitely take good care of himself and make you feel at ease."

"How can he take care of himself..." Xiao Qianye also smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly. Yun Xiao didn't know what to say, so she had to put the engraved family crest back into his palm and hold his hand again.

He clenched his hands tightly and said, "Brother, it will be fine."

Xiao Qianye was speechless. At this time, she could only force herself not to worry about him. Yun Xiao rolled her eyes, turned around and jumped in front of him, tilted her head and smiled, quickly changing the topic: "This is your second time."

Come to the Central Plains. In a few days when the ship docks, you will find that the Central Plains has changed a lot."

"Oh?" Xiao Qianye thought thoughtfully. When he first arrived in the Central Plains when he was young, it seemed that this place had just experienced a long war. The ports were full of victims fleeing the war. Rich people were spending money.

He made money overseas and begged merchants to let him work as free labor when he had no money. Frankly speaking, his first impression of the Central Plains was not good. Later, he heard some things mentioned by his colleagues, saying that the complicated forces in the capital had caused the Central Plains to suffer.

Regimes are often overturned, and every time there is a conflict, it is the people who suffer.

For him, who has been accustomed to intrigues in the imperial capital since childhood, it is not uncommon for major dignitaries to form cliques, but Feiyuan's regime has always been very stable. There has been only one royal family since ancient times, no matter how the courtiers fight for power.

Seizing the power, everyone on the throne stood firm and motionless.

He still doesn't know whether dictatorship is really appropriate. After such a long period of time, Feiyuan has already suppressed all the aliens who tried to resist on the island, but it is precisely because of this that he has caused the current discrimination and massacre.

Yun Xiao saw that he was dazed and didn't know what he was thinking, so he wanted to push him and shake him awake. Then he heard a familiar bird song in the distance. Xiao Qianye suddenly came to his senses, his heart jumped sharply, and he strode to the other side of the boat

It ran in one direction. Sure enough, it was the Tianzheng bird that saw the navy leave and flew down from high altitude. It looked very tired and landed directly on the deck with messy wings. However, when it saw its owner's face, it still flapped its wings happily and rushed over.

I don't know what I'm mumbling in my mouth.

Xiao Qianye was surprised, happy and a little apologetic. He wanted to hug Tian Zhengniao's neck. Yun Xiao was not as bearable as him. She rushed over and hugged the big bird and said excitedly: "That's great for you.

You’re back too! My sister said you were following me from a distance, and we were worried that you’d get tired and couldn’t find a place to rest on the way!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Ji came over with Blazing Phoenix. She raised her hand and touched Tian Zhengniao's head, and said with a smile: "You are originally from Kunlun. After you go back this time, go find your kindred.

Don't suffer with him anymore."

Tian Zhengniao was touched on the head by Feng Ji, his eyes were full of flattered light, he couldn't help nodding, then he remembered that his master was still around, and quickly shook his head, his look was so naive, it immediately made Yun Xiao laugh.

.

Lord, you should decide as soon as possible about the things I told you before."

Xiao Qianye frowned, obviously touching a sore spot. These words were like a basin of cold water, pouring his heart like ice. Yun Xiao blinked curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"

Feng Ji raised her hand and hooked the tip of her nose, turned around and said goodbye to the two of them, as if it was just casual gossip.

"Feng Ji." Seeing that she had jumped onto the blazing phoenix, Xiao Qianye felt uneasy for some reason and blurted out: "Be careful."

Feng Ji's face was slightly surprised. After a while, she smiled again and nodded.

More than half of the voyage on the sea has passed in a blink of an eye. After arriving in the South China Sea of ​​​​the Central Plains, the atmosphere on the ship became more and more relaxed and joyful. Even the fifth princess, who had been depressed and depressed during this period, would take the initiative to ask to go to the deck in the sunny afternoon.

The wind blew up. Yun Qiushui saw that her mood finally improved, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She found a thick coat and put it on the princess. When the weather was nice, they went out to chat together. Yun Xiao also wanted to come over occasionally.

, but every time she came, the fifth princess would lower her head silently. After a few times, she had no choice but to be sensible and not disturb her.

Xiao Qianye had consciously avoided the fifth princess. Seeing Yun Xiao being left out, he would often secretly pull her around with her on the sea using sword control skills. The two parties did not interfere with each other and were harmonious.

Tian Che was sandwiched on both sides. Sometimes he saw one of them at the bow and the other at the stern. The distance between them was a little awkward, but he couldn't persuade his junior brother to reconcile with the fifth princess, and he couldn't take the initiative to let the fifth princess untie her knot.

, but the water man who had been keeping it jumped out from time to time to talk to him. Tian Che knew that the other party was deliberately inquiring about the secrets about Xiao Qianye and Yun Xiao, but he also wanted to learn from the people in Xuhai.

After learning more about the Lingyin clan's past, the two tested each other out, and became more familiar with each other over time.

After sailing like this calmly for several days, the ship finally sailed into the port dock smoothly. The accompanying guys were obviously relieved. Before it stopped, they started to pack up in groups and prepare to go down and relax first.

Yun Xiao packed her luggage early in the morning and was very happy while humming a little tune. She specially put on the fire-colored dress given by Xiao Qianye, and when she lowered the ladder, she was the first to rush down.

Xiao Qianye saw her waving to him from below. Tian Che pushed him from behind and said with a smile: "Why are you so dazed? Come on and follow me. Uncle Master and the others have me."

Xiao Qianye nodded, jumped down from the high boat, and landed right next to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao held a flying letter from Kunlun in his hand, pointed to the name of the inn written on it, and muttered:

"Someone has already come to pick us up. Let's go here to meet the senior brothers first."
