After receiving Ling Jin's order, the two Succubus maids immediately retreated. Soon, three figures of different heights walked over.
The tallest one was naturally Mo Tai of the Giant Demon Clan, followed by Yi Tianyuan of the Winged Demon Clan. Lu Xuan's figure was considered tall among the humans, but in front of the demons, he was a bit shorter. Fortunately, most of the Heavenly Demon Clan was around Lu Xuan's height, so it did not stand out.
Lu Xuan's eyesight was extremely good, so he saw Ling Jin in the pavilion from afar. He was slightly surprised. He had just heard a lot about Commander Ling from Yi Tianyuan, but he did not expect that the commander was actually a woman, and such a beautiful one at that. Especially her long purple hair, it added a touch of enchanting charm, and seemed to have more charm than a human woman.
At this moment, Ling Jin's gaze also shifted to the three people, but it only glanced at Yi Tianyuan and Mo Tai before it fell on Lu Xuan. Then, she could no longer shift her gaze, and her half-lying body could not help but sit up straight.
"Reporting to the commander, this subordinate has come back to investigate," Yi Tianyuan said respectfully.
Ling Jin waved her hand indifferently, and a glimmer of light flashed across her beautiful eyes. She pointed directly at Lu Xuan and asked, "Who is he?"
Looking at Lu Xuan, Yi Tianyuan revealed a hint of joy and said, "Commander, this is the great news that this subordinate wanted to report to you. This lord came down from the Heavenly Region, and was ordered to bring us back to the Heavenly Region."
As soon as this was said, Ling Jin suddenly stood up. She could not help but slightly clench her fists, pursed her lips, and said with a slightly hurried breath, "You are an envoy from the Heavenly Region?"
"That's right," Lu Xuan smiled slightly, nodded at Ling Jin, and said, "It has been hard on you for these ten thousand years."
Ling Jin's heart trembled, and she almost could not control her excitement. However, she was the leader of the Ling Clan after all. She could still maintain a poker face. Moreover, she wouldn't believe Lu Xuan just because of Lu Xuan's one-sided statement.
Ling Jin took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She asked again, "May I know which clan you are from? Why didn't the Heaven Domain send anyone to rescue us in the past ten thousand years, but now? "
When Yi Tianyuan heard this, he revealed a startled expression and turned to look at Lu Xuan. Shouldn't the commander be happy that someone from the Heaven Region had come? Why were they still suspecting this lord? Aren't you afraid of incurring Master's displeasure?
As expected, a sliver of undisguised displeasure appeared on Lu Xuan's face when he heard Ling Jin's words. He heavily waved his sleeve and said, "As an envoy of the Heaven Region, I risked great danger to come here to rescue you. I even damaged my own cultivation in order to come here. Is this how you treat your guests?"
After being shouted at by Lu Xuan, Ling Jin seemed to realize that her tone was a little off due to her agitation. She softened her tone and said, "Senior, please don't blame us. We have lived here for ten thousand years, but we have never seen an envoy of the Heaven Region. Now that senior has suddenly come, it is a little strange."
In reality, Ling Jin did not doubt Lu Xuan's identity as a member of the Heavenly Devil Clan. She was worried that Lu Xuan was a member of the Xuan Clan that had been hidden away and had come to deceive her. After all, he had been worrying about how to continue passing on the bloodline of the Ling Clan. Now, an envoy of the Heaven Region had come to bring them back to the Heaven Region.
Seeing Ling Jin apologize, Lu Xuan's expression softened slightly. However, it was no longer as genial as before. Ling Jin secretly regretted it when she saw this. If this envoy was real, she might have already offended him.
"I am a member of the Xia Clan. My name is Xia Ye. As for why you have only come after ten thousand years … Hmph, do you think you are that important? Do you think it is easy to break through the barrier of the Heavenly Sword Continent? Now that the Heavenly Sword has returned to the hands of the humans, do you think the Demon Emperors are willing to waste so much effort to break through the barrier without the Heavenly Sword? "
Lu Xuan did not hide the disdain in his eyes at all. He asked three questions in a row, leaving Ling Jin speechless. That was because Lu Xuan had hit the nail on the head. The demons on the Demon-sealing Continent were nothing to the demons of the Heaven Domain. Furthermore, as Lu Xuan had said, if they wanted to break through the barrier on the Heavenly Sword Continent, they would need the help of a Demon Emperor. It would be extremely difficult for a Demon Emperor to break through the barrier for them.
Ling Jin no longer doubted Lu Xuan's identity since he dared to reprimand her in front of her. Although she didn't know if there was a Xia Clan among the demons in the Heavenly Region, she thought that there shouldn't be any mistake. However, what made her feel helpless was that because she had been too cautious, she seemed to have offended this envoy.
This was the only person who could bring them back to the Heaven Region. He was also the only person who could solve the problem she was about to face.
"I must think of a way to mend my relationship with this envoy. I cannot let the Xuan Clan take over," Ling Jin thought.
Thinking of this, Ling Jin revealed an apologetic smile and said, "Senior Xia is right. We are truly grateful that Senior Xia is willing to take such a great risk to rescue us. Rou Er, pass down my order. Prepare a banquet. I must treat Senior Xia well. "
She then looked at Lu Xuan and smiled, "Senior Xia must be tired after such a long journey. Why don't you rest here for a while?"
Since his identity had been acknowledged by Ling Jin, Lu Xuan put on airs. He turned his head to look at the wilderness around him, frowned, and said, "There's no need for that. Don't you have a better place to stay? Have you been living in a place like this for the past ten thousand years? "
"Of course not. This is only a temporary encampment for us. If Senior Xia thinks this place is too shabby, we can go back now."
"Then let's go back first. I passed through two barriers and was ambushed by the yin demon. I'm tired." Lu Xuan walked to the chair that Ling Jin had been sitting on and sat down without any hesitation. Hmm, there seemed to be a faint fragrance. It smelled quite nice.
Seeing this, Ling Jin's delicate brows couldn't help but twitch. She had lived for so many years. No matter if it was because of her identity or her strength, no one had dared to be so impudent in front of her. Even the Xuan Clan didn't dare to do so, let alone snatch her chair. One must know that she hated it when others touched her things. All along, only her personal maidservant, Ling Rou, had been able to do so.
However, due to Lu Xuan's identity, no matter how unhappy she was, Ling Jin could only endure it for now. She turned around and walked towards Yi Tianyuan. This guy was really hard to please!
Lu Xuan noticed Ling Jin's forceful suppression of anger and couldn't help but snicker. Motherf * cker, pretending to be a lord was so satisfying! And she was pretending in front of a demon commander!
At this moment, Yi Tianyuan was looking at the impudent Lu Xuan with a dumbfounded expression. He didn't understand why the Great Messenger, who had been so kind to him before, would suddenly glare at the commander.
"Yi Tianyuan!"
"Ah, I'm here." Yi Tianyuan just noticed Ling Jin walking over and quickly responded.
"Pass down the order, order all the clan members who are hunting to come back and prepare to return." Ling Jin ordered in a bad mood. She had transferred the anger she received from Lu Xuan to Yi Tianyuan.
"Yes, I'll go now!" Yi Tianyuan didn't dare to offend Ling Jin, so he turned around and left.
"Come back!"
With this order, Yi Tianyuan, who had just turned around, immediately turned around and looked at Ling Jin again. "Commander, what other orders do you have?"
Ling Jin pursed her lips and said, "Regarding the news of the Great Messenger's arrival, don't mention a word. Especially, don't let the Xuan Clan know."
"This … a lot of people saw the Great Messenger just now …" Yi Tianyuan said carefully.
"I'll hide it for as long as I can." Ling Jin said helplessly, "At least, let me regain the Great Messenger's good impression of me."
Yi Tianyuan immediately understood that the commander was afraid that the Xuan Clan would win over the Great Messenger. After all, the commander had just offended the Great Messenger. If the Xuan Clan treated her with courtesy, the Great Messenger might lean towards the Xuan Clan.
"Okay, I understand. Uh … Oh right, commander, actually, I feel that the Great Messenger is quite easy to talk to. I believe that as long as you satisfy the Great Messenger's request as much as possible, you will definitely be able to eliminate the grudge between the Great Messenger and the Xuan Clan. "
Satisfy the request? Ling Jin frowned and thought, then waved her hand and said, "I understand. You can go."
