Drip!
Drip!
Drip!
The sound reverberated in the wooden hut. It wasn't loud but the three of them had sharp ears and eyes, so naturally, they heard it clearly.
Tian Guangming didn't feel anything and just looked on quietly.
Duanmu Yue was confused and didn't know what it was.
Only the old ancestor listened on in enjoyment.
Facing Tian Guangming's arrival, he wasn't nervous, he wasn't afraid and he didn't have a vicious expression. He was just really calm.
"I haven't heard such a voice in many years." The old ancestor listened for a minute and exclaimed.
Tian Guangming frowned and walked in slowly. Duanmu Yue saw that the old ancestor didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to stop him. He could only look on silently.
"You know that I am an envoy, so you should know my goal for coming here!" Tian Guangming said solemnly.
The old ancestor nodded, "Please sit, I will cooperate. Don't worry."
Tian Guangming looked at the old ancestor in shock and then sat down.
The old man laid on the rocking chair and Tian Guangming sat on the chair. Only Duanmu Yue was standing.
"It is better for him to avoid it." Tian Guangming pointed at Duanmu Yue.
Duanmu Yue looked at the old ancestor and didn't want to avoid it.
"Let him take a look. He is the next family head and he won't say anything." The old ancestor requested.
Tian Guangming looked at how cooperative he was and grinned. He stared at the old ancestor and said in shock, "Why are you dying so quickly?"
Tian Guangming still had to collect interest!
But the old ancestor didn't have many days left, so what interest was there to collect?
The old ancestor said apologetically, "I am unable to pay the penalty on the contract."
Tian Guangming's expression became ugly and he pointed at the Soul Raising Wood outside, "You didn't damage it, right?"
If the Soul Raising Wood was damaged, Tian Guangming would really be furious.
"No, I have been taking good care of the Soul Raising Wood and it isn't damaged." The old ancestor waved his hands.
Tian Guangming's expression became better. He took out the contract and said, "Take a look. If you don't have any questions, then I am going to attack."
Duanmu Yue's expression changed and he questioned, "What are you going to attack?"
"Naturally, I am going to take away the Soul Raising Wood." Tian Guangming said without hesitation.
"If the Soul Nurturing Wood is taken away, what about the Patriarch?" Duan Muyu did not agree.
"Your old ancestor is about to die. In three days, he will definitely die. It is already good that I didn't take his remaining three days." Tian Guangming was annoyed.
Duanmu Yue was shocked. He knew that the old ancestor's time was up, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Within three days, he would definitely die!
The patriarch waved his hand calmly and said, "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are natural. Why be sad?"
Duanmu Yue couldn't help it. This was the old man who treated him the best.
"Envoy, it is okay if I die but I want to ask what about Taizhong?" The old ancestor asked solemnly.
"Who is Taizhong?" Tian Guangming was confused.
"The founder of the Yuhua God Dynasty, Emperor Taizong, also borrowed a treasure from you guys to extend his life." The Patriarch explained.
"You don't have to worry about him. Someone is going to ask him for his debt. His contract is heavier than yours and the debt collector is stronger than me. Don't worry, the two of you will definitely die together." Tian Guangming said.
The old ancestor heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "The reason why I persisted was because he isn't dead. If he doesn't die, then I can't die."
"Great, I am going to die and he is going to die too. Everyone is happy." A smile appeared on the old ancestor's face.
This smile was one of delight because he had won.
The old ancestor told Taizhong that as long as he was alive, he wouldn't be able to wipe out the Duanmu Family unless he was willing to sacrifice the entire Yuhua God Dynasty to die with them!
Taizhong's reply was that he would definitely wipe out the entire Duanmu Family while he was still alive!
The two of them were competing to see who could live longer. Now, both Taizhong and the old ancestor were at their limits.
Tian Guangming looked at him and muttered, "Lunatic!"
The two of them were lunatics. They entered the Bank of the Universe to exchange for items that could extend their lives.
They were competing to see who could live longer.
They didn't care about anyone else and just stared at one another. As long as one of them died first, then they would win!
Their obsession was so deep that it couldn't be resolved.
Tian Guangming stood up and said, "I will take the Soul Raising Tree away. You only have three days left, so I won't take it away. Since you are so cooperative, I will give you some time to say goodbye to your family."
After saying that, Tian Guangming walked out.
Duanmu Yue instinctively wanted to stop him but the old ancestor stopped him.
"Remember, if you meet someone with such a watch, retreat. Do you understand?" The old ancestor stared at Duanmu Yue solemnly.
"I will remember." Duanmu Yue had never seen the old ancestor so solemn, so how would he dare to not remember?
He didn't stop Tian Guangming from digging the Soul Raising Tree.
Tian Guangming walked to the door and smiled, "Let me tell you something. The person who is going to find your enemy to collect his debt has a bad temper and is decisive. He is a demon in human skin and is really cruel. You just need to hold on and maybe you will hear news of his death."
The old ancestor's eyes lit up and he said gratefully, "Thank you, no matter what, I will hold on."
Tian Guangming walked out of the wooden hut and walked in front of the Soul Raising Tree. He looked at the giant Soul Raising Tree and patted it, "Let's go home!"
The Soul Raising Tree had a spirit and knew that it was time to go home. But when it looked at the old man that it had spent 10,000 years with, it was really reluctant. A streak of black energy spread out from its body and entered the old man's body.
"He only has three days. You can't replenish his lifespan. At most, you can make him feel a little more energetic." Tian Guangming said.
In the wooden hut, after receiving the last nourishment from the Soul Raising Tree, the old man trembled as he stood up. He walked to the window and bowed deeply to thank him for all these years of nourishment.
The Soul Raising Tree also knew that this was a true farewell.
It wasn't separation!
It was a farewell of death!
So, it bent its body. Separated by a wooden hut, the two friends that had spent 10,000 years with each other were saying their goodbyes.
Tian Guangming seemed to be infected and he sighed, "Let's go. Turn small and enter my treasure."
Like he was affected by the Goddess of Light's divinity, the decisive Tian Guangming became much more soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see such emotional scenes.
"Let's go back to where you came from and thank you for taking care of me for 10,000 years." The old ancestor waved his hands and his eyes turned red.
During these few years, everyone thought that he was lonely. The Duanmu Family members all felt that the old ancestor was lonely and didn't like to speak. He just sat alone in the rocking chair.
But who knew that his best friend was beside him? When the two of them talked, they were communicating telepathically.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were lonely.
But in their own eyes, it was the opposite. They were the quietest people.
The so-called loneliness was actually a form of beauty!
