62: Long Xingyu, he came here to kidnap Cai'er
Chapter 62: Long Xingyu, He's Here to Kidnap Cai'er!
Ten days later.
Below Exorcist Pass.
A carriage slowly approached, stopping directly beneath the city walls of Exorcist Pass.
The carriage was emblazoned with crimson-gold patterns, symbolizing Long Xingyu's radiance of Doomsday and Slaughter.
When they were still five meters from the city, a fifth-tier Assassin guarding the city immediately stepped forward to block them, preventing them from proceeding further.
Seeing this, a tall female Divine Knight with pink hair, clad in full armor, stepped down from the carriage.
The moment he saw her, the city guard Assassin immediately shouted, “The Demon Race's spring offensive is imminent. Do you have a Union warrant?”
“No, we are from the Knight Temple,” Li Xin explained.
“Please turn back. The spring offensive at Exorcist Pass is imminent, and entry is restricted. Without a Union warrant, unauthorized entry is forbidden!” The city guard Assassin stated, his face expressionless, as if he were the most solemn being in the world.
His duty was to guard the city gates.
Hearing this, Li Xin was helpless. If it were her guarding the city gates, she would do the same; it was inevitable.
But they couldn't possibly make her teacher and teacher's wife wait here, could they?
Thinking this, she reluctantly turned and returned to the carriage.
She asked Long Xingyu what to do, and Long Xingyu immediately told her to state his name.
Thinking this, Li Xin immediately returned to her original position.
“Why haven't you left yet?”
“Don't even think about forcing your way through. If you do, even if you are a high-ranking official from another temple, you will be killed on the spot by hidden powerhouses!” The city guard Assassin said.
He wasn't intentionally threatening, but if he didn't say so now, he feared Li Xin might do something foolish, which would be even more troublesome.
“Brother, please inform them that Knight of Divine Seal of Judgment and Inquisition Long Xingyu has arrived at Exorcist Pass!” Li Xin said, and as she spoke, she even felt a proud urge to put her hands on her hips.
They had connections, and it was her teacher. How wonderful.
Hearing this, the city guard soldier paused, looked at the crimson-gold carriage, and asked, “You mean, Master Starry-Sky is in that carriage?”
“Yes,” Li Xin nodded.
The city guard soldier didn't dare ask Li Xin to have Long Xingyu disembark. After all, he was the Temple Head of the Knight Temple, and he oversaw slaughter.
Forcing him to disembark would be openly disrespecting the Knight Temple.
His status did not grant him the authority to handle this matter.
It would be better to find someone who could.
If it wasn't Long Xingyu, or a Divine Seal Knight of similar rank, then they could discuss punishing Li Xin later.
So, he immediately turned to his companion and said, “General Ling Xin should be nearby. Go find him at once.”
His companions didn't hesitate.
They immediately went to find him.
A moment later, a figure rushed over, bursting with speed, and from a distance, his shouts could be heard: “Brother Xingyu is here? Where?!”
Upon seeing Li Xin, he also spotted the crimson-gold carriage, and his certainty grew, as Brother Xingyu's Throne of the God of Doom and Slaughter was indeed crimson-gold.
He immediately rushed towards it.
His speed was quite fast.
He didn't directly open the carriage; that would be an insult to Long Xingyu.
He simply waited there quietly.
Long Xingyu slowly emerged from the carriage, looking at Saint Lingxin before him.
“Brother Xingyu, it really is you,” Saint Lingxin said immediately, his face filled with excitement.
“Long time no see, Ling Xin. You're almost at the eighth tier,” Long Xingyu nodded, immediately discerning Saint Lingxin's current rank.
“I can't compare to Brother Xingyu. I'm only almost at the eighth tier, still a long way from the ninth, let alone compared to a Divine Seal Knight like you,” Saint Lingxin sighed, but his words were filled with admiration for Long Xingyu.
Then, he looked at the guards at the city gate and said, “Open the city gates! Brother Xingyu is the Temple Head of the Knight Temple. How could he be a Demon Race spy (traitor)?”
Hearing this, the gate guards didn't hesitate and immediately opened the city gates.
They allowed the carriage to enter.
Saint Lingxin accompanied them along the way.
Seeing this, Li Xin couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
Teacher Starry-Sky's influence is truly effective. One word, and they entered without question, and even the Military General of Exorcist Pass accompanied them.
And looking at him, this Military General seems to be a little fan of Teacher Starry-Sky.
Soon, after parking the carriage.
Saint Lingxin led Long Xingyu and his group slowly towards the main hall of the Assassin Temple.
“It's been over ten years since we last met, hasn't it, Brother Xingyu?” Saint Lingxin asked, looking at Long Xingyu.
Hearing this, Long Xingyu nodded: “Yes, ever since I achieved Divine Seals, I've been living in seclusion within the Knight Temple.”
“It has been over ten years since we last met.”
“Yes, over ten years,” Saint Lingxin sighed, then looked at Bai Yue and Long Haochen, lamenting, “You and I have both become husbands and fathers.”
Hearing this, Long Xingyu smiled and called Long Haochen over.
When Long Haochen came over, he immediately said, “Come quickly and greet your Uncle Sheng.”
“Uncle Sheng,” Long Haochen nodded towards Saint Lingxin and greeted him.
“How old is this child?” Saint Lingxin asked, puzzled.
“He's almost ten,” Long Xingyu explained Long Haochen's age.
“Almost ten?” Saint Lingxin was startled.
Cai'er was only about three months younger than Long Haochen, right?
Looking at their situation, the family of three seemed very happy.
This was something Brother Xingyu could achieve.
Yet, when facing his own daughter, Cai'er, he couldn't even give her a true childhood, all because of her identity as the Reincarnation Saintess. He was powerless, even as the Military General of Exorcist Pass.
He even personally sent her into the abyss.
All of this was his doing.
Moreover, as time went on, the misunderstandings between them seemed to grow stronger, and he was unable to change any of it, nor did he dare to.
He couldn't imagine how to let Cai'er complete all the Reincarnation Trials without enduring pain, and he didn't dare to directly interrupt the Reincarnation Trials, because that would lead to death!
Cai'er would die!
In a daze, they also walked to the main hall of the Assassin Temple.
Upon arriving here, Saint Lingxin could feel someone grab him, then pull hard. The person's strength was great, and Saint Lingxin was not his opponent, constantly being pulled.
Then he was pulled towards him.
At this moment, Saint Lingxin was completely stunned.
Because he saw who this person was.
It was his grandfather, Saint Moon.
“Grandpa, what's wrong?” Saint Lingxin asked, confused.
“Do you know why Long Xingyu is here?” Saint Moon asked, then turned his gaze to Long Xingyu, seemingly with a hint of resistance.
This made Saint Lingxin, or rather Bai Yue, Long Haochen, and Li Xin, all feel a bit confused.
What happened?
“Grandpa, do you know what Brother Xingyu plans to do here?” Saint Lingxin asked, puzzled.
Looking at his foolish grandson, Saint Moon sighed, and said anxiously, “Long Xingyu is here to kidnap Cai'er.”
Saint Lingxin: “???”
