"Sister, what are you thinking? Are you really not going? "Ro Li was a little anxious. His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ro Xin helplessly.
Last night, when he returned to Ancient Path Drugstore from Dvesha Moha, he received a piece of sad news. Ro Xin was not going to join the voyage.
Why? Did she give up the chance to become a Purple Moon Warrior?
Ro Xin was not surprised by Ro Li's thoughts, so she denied it right away. "Even if I don't go, can't you bring me resources? Fine, even if you can't get me more resources, will Tang Ling mistreat me? "
Compared to Ro Li, Ro Xin was much smarter. With just a few words, she rendered Ro Li speechless.
She then used the excuse that she was sleepy and forcefully made up her mind.
However, Ro Li was not that easily convinced. He had a sleepless night, so when the sun rose, he went to Ro Xin's room and tried to convince her again.
"Brother, my thoughts are really simple. I'm a healer after all. Fighting isn't my forte, and sailing is dangerous. It's not suitable for me, and I might drag everyone down. " Ro Xin had just woken up and looked calm. Compared to Ro Li, who had not slept for the whole night, she had a good night's sleep.
"But why would you drag everyone down? You're a healer, so you can help us a lot. For example, if we're injured … "Ro Li was anxious.
He had never been apart from his sister for a long time. Although he might be the elder brother, he had always been relying on Ro Xin.
If Ro Xin did not go, he would not feel safe at all.
Ro Xin covered his mouth and grumbled, "Why are you saying that you're injured before we even set off?"
"Besides, even if I'm really injured, the medicine that master gave me is more than enough. My medical skills aren't even as good as the medicine. " Ro Xin then curled her lips into a smile. She looked at Ro Li with a gentle gaze. "Brother, are you willing to let your sister go to danger at sea?"
Ro Li kept quiet. Of course, he would not.
He was just not used to being apart from Ro Xin. On second thought, it would not be a bad thing if Ro Xin did not go. At least, she would be safe with their master.
As for the resources, even if he did not want them, he had to get some for his sister.
"Sigh, alright." Ro Li finally nodded.
She smiled. "Then you should rest a little longer. You should go to Dvesha Moha later. Whatever organization meeting is happening today, you have to attend it with Tang Ling. "
"Also, I've already prepared three Level Two Puppets for you …"
Ro Li looked at her in shock. "Sis, you can make Level 2 puppets now?"
"Yeah, his progress isn't that fast either. It has been more than half a year since we left the Ninth Ruins. What's so shocking about being a Level 2 puppet? "
"No, my sister is very smart. Th-that's great. "Ro Li was a simple-minded person and was easily distracted by other things.
With the happy news, the disappointment of not being able to go out to sea was somewhat alleviated.
Ro Li went to catch up on his sleep. As she watched him leave, the smile on her face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a sense of disappointment.
How could she not want to go out to sea? The arduous journey to Darkness Port with Tang Ling and Luo Li was still vivid in her mind.
When had she ever been afraid of danger?
Not going this time was a decision he had made after careful consideration.
She did not lie to Ro Li. She was not a combatant, so she was afraid that she would drag everyone down at sea. Her current medical skills were not as good as the medicine her master had prepared.
On top of that, she was busy at Ancient Path Drugstore. She and her master were very close, so she could not bear to go out to sea alone while her master was busy. Since she could not help out at sea, why not stay and share the burden?
In the end, it was probably because of her selfishness. She did not want to get close to Tang Ling, at least not for the time being. She should have kept her feelings for Tang Ling a long time ago, and given her rationality, she would have done what she wanted to do.

8 am
It was already early summer, so the sun was already shining brightly in Darkness Port.
Standing on the beach of Butterfly Wing Island, Tang Long gazed at the surface of the sea that was bathed in a golden glow due to the gentle sunlight. He pursed his lips in silence.
Elder Black's ship was anchored not far away. It was a retro ship that looked like it came from the 18th century of the old civilization.
Elder Black affectionately called it an old friend. According to the itinerary that Elder Black told him, all the bosses would gather at a secret island and travel to the Northernmost Land by sea.
In order to keep it a secret, traveling by sea was the best way.
In the Purple Moon era, due to the existence of super-advanced technology, even traveling by sea would not be slow.
On this trip, speed was not what he pursued, but stability …
"So, who knows when the next time will be?" Tang Long thought about it in his heart. He could not help but look at the direction of Darkness Port.
However, what could he see? The life or death ring was a huge turning point in his life. After going through it, everything in the past seemed to have vanished into thin air.
The Stardust Council, the Stardust Sixteen, and his identity … Yet, many things seemed to have given him a new life. His younger brother, Higashi, and a completely different, unknown future …
"Let's go." Senior Black patted Tang Long's shoulder lightly. He didn't say anything else.
There was a small wooden ship in front of them, and they were going to board Elder Black's ship.
Tang Long followed Elder Black quietly and hopped onto the small wooden ship.
The boatman moved the oars and the small boat soon left the shore and approached the big ship.
"Tang Long, are you wondering why I insist on bringing you to that secret place?" Black Elder suddenly asked Tang Long a question when he saw his old friend getting closer and closer.
The question was crucial and it had always been in Tang Long's mind. It was also the question of everyone who knew the truth.
"Yes, I'm confused. What can I do when I go? "Tang Long did not hide his doubts.
"I can't do anything. I'm bringing you along because I'm old, and I don't know if I'll survive this trip. "Elder Black looked at Tang Long with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, but his expression was unusually calm.
Tang Long understood and was confused at the same time. He frowned at Elder Black.
"As a matter of fact, you don't have to overthink things. The more you feel like you're running out of time, the less control you have over your future, and the more you'll seize the moment to do something.
"For example, I also want an heir, and I chose you. It's a good choice and a lucky choice. You can make one of Tang Feng's sons my heir. "Elder Black grinned. The smile came from the bottom of his heart and he was extremely satisfied.
At the mention of Tang Feng, a look of displeasure flashed across Tang Long's face. However, Elder Black's words had touched his heart a little.
He now understood why Elder Black had chosen to bring him along. It turned out that he wanted to seize the time to personally instruct him. Elder Black had designated him as his successor.
Unlike the Stardust Council that made it big, Tang Long had been announcing that he was going to inherit the council since he was young. In fact, Tang Long was just a chess piece.
Elder Black was secretive and low-key, but he was also extremely sincere.
What did it mean to be his heir? Given Tang Long's intelligence, it was impossible that he did not know. That was why Tang Long was touched. Although he did not care about the meaning behind the title, he cared about the sincerity.
Therefore, he did not ask a stupid question like "Why me?". He made up his mind that he would learn everything seriously because it was a way for him to live up to Elder Black.
Similar to Tang Ling, Elder Black was not good at expressing himself.
"So, you will come back. You must come back! For my Darkness Port, for the future … "Elder Black's tone turned firm.
"Darkness Port? It'll be great, right? There are so many big captains there … "Tang Long instinctively asked.
"Hmph …" Elder Black chuckled coldly and said, "The undercurrents in this world are turbulent and the web of conspiracies has been unfolded. When you come back, it might be the time of chaos … "
Elder Black's little boat stopped below Elder Black's big ship. Elder Black grabbed Tang Long's shoulder and leaped up from the little boat onto the deck of the big ship.
Right after they landed, a dozen men in different outfits rushed out from the cabin of the big ship. They looked like pirates.
These men looked rather old. When they saw Elder Black, all of them placed their hands on their chests and bowed silently, bowing to him.
After saluting, one of them took out a black gold-lined captain's uniform and draped it over Black's body. Black then took out a captain's hat from his bosom and put it on his head. Following that, another person handed over a beautiful captain's sword.
Elder Black took the sword and raised it high. "Old friends, I'm back. We're about to embark on another adventure. This might be the last adventure of our lives. "
Excited and fanatical cheers responded to Elder Black. These men did not seem to care about the last adventure at all. Instead, they cared about the word adventure.
As he spoke, Elder Black pulled Tang Long over. "This is the disciple that I've chosen. He will also be the one that your descendants will follow in the future. "
"Please call him Little Captain, Little Captain Tang Long!" Little Captain Tang Long! "Elder Black grinned. His smile was filled with a wild and domineering aura that was completely different from his usual self.
"Little Captain!" The crowd cheered.
Little Captain? Tang Long was a little stunned. Did he just get a new identity out of nowhere? He could not help but turn around to look at Darkness Port again. His heart was suddenly filled with a sense of longing for the future.
"Tang Ling, little brother, I think I have a new identity. It means I have a new goal and responsibility in my life. It's a passive and sudden change. I don't know why, but compared to the past, I'm happy to accept it.
What about you? What kind of identity will you have after I return? What kind of goal and responsibility will you carry? How will we be reunited? "
The sky was far away, the sun was dazzling, and the sea breeze was gentle.
A new journey and a new life have begun for me.
What about you, little brother?
**
Tang Ling walked out of the training area.
At that moment, he seemed to feel something as he looked at the sea further away. Has Tang Long left?
The thought popped up in Tang Ling's mind, but he did not feel anxious. Instead, his heart was filled with joy and hope.
It was a little past eight in the morning. Although the temperature was scorching hot, the fresh morning breeze was refreshing.
Tang Ling stared blankly at the sea for a few seconds before he swallowed the crab meat bun in his mouth. The bun was made from a Level 7 mutated crab. Although it was not as filling as the vicious beast meat that Boss Huang provided, eating a little more would satisfy his starving body.
"Let's go to the organization meeting." With that in mind, Tang Ling curled his lips into a smile. He strode towards Dvesha Moha and started to jog.
A new morning, a new hope.
Everyone had gone to bed last night when it was almost morning. Therefore, when Tang Ling returned to Dvesha Moha, it was still quiet.
Only Ding Ling, who was still in a daze, knew that Tang Ling was back. She jumped into his arms without even opening her eyes.
"Little Tang Tang, it's so tiring to make breakfast," Ding Ling grumbled. Little Glutinous Dumpling woke up early to make breakfast.
"I bought some crab meat buns. You can make some porridge. Sleep a little longer. " Tang Ling was very gentle as he carried Ding Ling to Boss Huang's rocking chair and covered her with a thin blanket.
Ding Ling quickly fell asleep again. Tang Ling smiled and pinched her cheeks before he went to the backyard.
The organization meeting would start at 10, so he decided to let everyone sleep a little longer.
Since he still had time, Tang Ling decided to practice a set of punches in the backyard. It was a set of punches that he had found in Boss Huang's study room. It was a legacy from the old civilization.
According to Boss Huang, the punches were very meaningful. Practicing them for a long time would greatly benefit the body, muscles, and blood.
Because of his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling was a fast learner. It only took him a few days to master the fist technique, and he was able to grasp the essence of the fist technique after practicing it for a few days.
As he practiced, Tang Ling sensed the energy flowing in his body. Ever since he shared his life force with the little seed, he had always wanted to know what would happen to him.
Despite the tiring night last night, Tang Ling endured the urge to sleep and went to the cultivation area.
Then, Tang Ling realized that everything had changed.
In the past, Tang Ling and the little seed absorbed energy separately.
In other words, if Tang Ling did not transfer the energy to his heart, the little seed would have to steal his energy, just like how Tang Ling would feel hungry in the beginning.
Now, the little seed and Tang Ling seemed to have become one. Whenever Tang Ling absorbed a bit of energy, a part of it would be converted into the little seed's energy.
When both of them were full, the energy stored in their dantian could be used by both Tang Ling and the little seed.
Of course, Tang Ling could only use the Dragon Roar to utilize the energy stored in his dantian.
The little seed had a lot more tricks up its sleeves, but what kind of tricks could it be and what would happen after it was used? Tang Ling had no idea. Because his symbiotic relationship with the little seed had deepened, he could instinctively sense everything.
Other than that, if there was anything else that had changed, it would be his energy absorption speed. It was at least a third faster than before.
It was good news. If he had enough resources and trained hard during the days he was out at sea, there was a high chance that he could recover his energy to the level before the Life Or Death Ring or even higher. It would be beneficial for him to become a Purple Moon Warrior, so Tang Ling was very concerned about it.
"You're up?" Right after Tang Ling finished a set of punches and was ready to do it again, Boss Huang came to the backyard with Ro Li behind him.
Tang Ling wiped his sweat and was about to say something when he noticed that Ro Li looked a little angry while Boss Huang looked a little strange.
"What happened?" Tang Ling asked.
Before Boss Huang could answer, Ro Li spoke first, "Tang Ling, how many enemies do you have?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Ling was stunned.
Boss Huang shook his head and stopped Ro Li from continuing. He told Tang Ling, "Ro Xin won't be joining the expedition."
"What?" Tang Ling was shocked, but what did it have to do with enemies? Could it be …
With that in mind, Tang Ling's expression changed. "Who's looking for trouble with her? Bring me there. "
"No one is looking for trouble with my sister. It's her decision not to go sailing. That's not the point. Someone is targeting you in public … "Ro Li could not hold it in anymore, so he blurted it out.
"Targeting me? Hmph … "Tang Ling did not care at all. He had been through a lot, so why would he be afraid of being targeted?
"Why isn't Ro Xin going?" Tang Ling was a little disappointed. In his mind, since they were comrades, they should go together.
"She thinks she's a healer, so she won't be able to help. She'll drag everyone down. More importantly, she's weak, so it's dangerous for her to go sailing, "Ro Li answered straightforwardly.
Tang Ling wanted to argue with the first part because he did not think she was a burden, but the second part silenced him.
However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he went silent. Even if they were partners, he had no right to put her in danger.
Still, he felt a little disappointed.
Boss Huang cleared his throat and said, "Ro Xin is a smart girl. She'll make her own choices. All you have to do is bring some resources back for her."
Compared to that, you should get ready for the organization meeting. Ro Li is right. You're being targeted. He'll pass by the square where the meeting is held on his way here, and it's getting really lively there. "
"Lively?" Tang Ling raised a brow.
"Yeah, because the person targeting you isn't just anyone." Boss Huang shrugged. He already knew who the person targeting Tang Ling was after Ro Li's description.
Last night, he went through the information to find out about the person's background.
Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that the young prodigy of the organization would meet Tang Ling the moment he was born?
Was it really that interesting?
