The two of them fell silent again. Lu Xuan was thinking about how to make Ling Jin believe that he wasn't lying to her. After Ling Jin calmed down from the previous shock, she couldn't bring herself to kill Lu Xuan. After thinking about it carefully, Lu Xuan really didn't have any ill intentions towards her.
If Lu Xuan said that he wanted to kill her, Lu Xuan would have had countless opportunities in the Ling Clan's castle with his strength. Moreover, Lu Xuan had fought against Xuan Jianan's Demon Army by himself and escaped with her despite being seriously injured.
Thinking about it from a different perspective, Lu Xuan's actions weren't hard to understand. If Lu Xuan hadn't made up his identity as a Heaven Region Emissary, Ling Jin would have killed Lu Xuan the moment she found out that he was a human. After that, she planned her return to the Qianyun Realm all by herself. Lu Xuan was unable to stop her without revealing his identity.
Thinking of this, Ling Jin felt a little discouraged. She wasn't an unreasonable person. It could only be said that the current situation was completely due to a freak combination of factors.
At this moment, Ling Jin said cautiously, "Commander, Emissary Xia, I think you should stop fighting. No matter what, we are in the same situation now. Xuan Jianan has almost controlled the entire Demon Sealed Continent. If we fight among ourselves, I'm afraid we'll only be letting him off easy."
Ling Jin snorted coldly and glared at Lu Xuan. "Even if I let Xuan Jianan off easy, I don't want to let a big liar off easy."
Lu Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "Alright. Since we've spoken and you know the truth, I swear to the heavens that I won't lie to you anymore. How about it?"
"Let me introduce myself again. You were right. Xia Ye is a fake name I made up. It's the name of a friend of mine. My name is Lu Xuan, and I'm from the Heavenly Sword Continent. A few months ago, because I was being pursued by a great force from the Heavenly Sword Continent, I unintentionally barged into a dangerous place. Then, I passed through an unknown teleportation array. That's how I ended up here. "
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he extended his hand towards Ling Jin in a friendly manner, gesturing for her to shake his hand.
However, Ling Jin directly tilted her head and completely ignored him. She didn't even look at Lu Xuan as she said, "In that case, the injuries you suffered when you came here weren't caused by the lower realm, but because you were being pursued?"
"Indeed, but when I came here, I was ambushed by a Yin Demon. Otherwise, you wouldn't have discovered me." Lu Xuan admitted.
"Since you're being chased by a great power of the Heavenly Sword Continent, you must have an extraordinary status in the Heavenly Sword Continent, right?"
"Hey, we're negotiating. Why do you sound like you're interrogating me?" Lu Xuan was unhappy with Ling Jin's tone.
Ling Jin snorted coldly and said, "You're a liar. So what if I'm interrogating you? Besides, don't you want to gain my trust? Naturally, you'll answer whatever I ask. How can I trust you if I don't know your background? Hmph, you'd better behave yourself. If I fall out with you, you'll be the one to suffer. Even if Xuan Jianan finds out, I won't die, but you will. "
Being threatened by Ling Jin in such a manner, Lu Xuan immediately admitted defeat. He was under someone else's roof, so he had no choice but to lower his head. Raising his head, he sighed and said, "Actually, my experience is quite legendary."
"Heh, you have a legendary experience?"
Lu Xuan smiled, but didn't deny it. Since he said he wouldn't lie to Ling Jin, there was nothing for him to hide. After thinking for a while, he said, "I used to be an insignificant ordinary person. Perhaps even a succubus could easily kill me. However, in order to protect my sister, I had no choice but to go against a noble clan in my town …"
Lu Xuan slowly narrated his story. At first, Ling Jin frowned and was prepared to scold Lu Xuan, saying that she wasn't interested in his trivial matters. However, after Lu Xuan casually said a few words, Ling Jin was drawn in. Although his story couldn't be considered legendary, it was quite interesting. She had been pampered since young, so how could she know about the grudges between the lower classes of the human race?
Of course, Lu Xuan didn't mention anything about the Sword Crystal and the Celestial Emperor. He only said that he had some small fortuitous encounters. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he didn't lie to Ling Jin.
As Lu Xuan went deeper and deeper into his story, Ling Jin and Ling Rou began to stare unblinkingly at Lu Xuan. They were completely immersed in Lu Xuan's story. Lu Xuan subconsciously broke out in cold sweat when he talked about the tense parts, but he couldn't help but smile when he talked about the happy parts.
Lu Xuan's story took almost an hour to finish. After speaking for so long with his exhausted body, Lu Xuan also felt a little thirsty. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any water source here.
After Lu Xuan finished, Ling Jin began to look at Lu Xuan again. Now, she somewhat believed Lu Xuan. She didn't think that Lu Xuan was making it up. No one could make up such a complete story in one go. If what Lu Xuan said was true, then he really wasn't a bad person. How bad could a person who could risk his life for family, love, and friendship be?
"So … the girl you want to save is the one you met in that mountain?"
"Yes, but I already asked my friend to bring back the Yin Yang Broken Soul Parasite. After so long … she should have woken up by now, right? Speaking of which, I'm quite lucky. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect to come here alive. Although my future is still uncertain. "
"Your friend? Are you talking about that spirit beast? "
"Of course. I never thought of it as my spirit beast. I completely treated it as a friend. The same goes for that Deep Sea Giant Flood Dragon. If it wasn't for them, who knows how long I would have been dead. How would I have the chance to live until now?"
"Alright, I believe you a little." Ling Jin nodded lightly. "That girl is quite lucky to have someone like you willing to risk your life for her."
As she spoke, Ling Jin didn't realize that there was a hint of envy in her voice. She never had the chance to experience such a feeling.
Lu Xuan smiled. "Because she can also risk her life for me. Now that my life is uncertain, I'm afraid she's very worried about me. My parents and friends are also worried. So, Commander Ling, if you can really bring me to the Heavenly Sword Continent, I hope you can bring me back. I really didn't lie to you. I do have the ability to bring you back to the Heaven Region. However, I need to raise my strength to the Transcendent Realm, which is equivalent to your Demon Supremacy Realm. "
"Why can you break the barrier when you reach the Transcendent Realm? From what I know, the barrier of the Heavenly Sword Continent was laid down by a human True God. Even our Demon Race needs a Demon Emperor to break it. "
"This … I can't tell you."
Ling Jin raised her eyebrows and was about to explode. Lu Xuan hurriedly said, "Everyone has some secrets, right? I said I won't lie to you, but I didn't say that I need to tell you everything. Moreover, we are in a cooperative relationship, not a superior and subordinate relationship. "
Ling Jin immediately suppressed the annoyance in her heart upon hearing that. The fact that Lu Xuan was willing to tell her so many things was already a sign of his sincerity. It was equivalent to her understanding of Lu Xuan's life.
After thinking for a while, Ling Jin tilted her head to look at Ling Rou.
After serving Ling Jin for so long, Ling Rou naturally knew what she meant. She hesitated slightly and said, "Actually, I feel that Xia … Envoy Lu's words can still be trusted."
Ling Rou couldn't change the way she addressed Lu Xuan as envoy out of habit, even though she already knew that he was a fake envoy.
Hearing Ling Rou say this, Lu Xuan immediately nodded and smiled at her. He was very grateful that Ling Rou was willing to speak up for him. At a time like this, a single sentence from Ling Rou might be enough to increase the weight of Ling Jin's trust in him.
After a long while, Ling Jin finally nodded slowly and said, "Alright, I believe you."
However, before Lu Xuan could feel happy, Ling Jin spoke again, "But I don't want any more accidents to happen. According to what you said, you are not a small figure in the Heavenly Sword Continent. You are the young alliance master of one of the biggest sects. Your status is not any lower than mine. If you change your mind after returning to the Heavenly Sword Continent, I won't be able to do anything to you."
Speaking of which, this was also the reason why Ling Jin was willing to believe in Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan really wanted to lie to her, he would naturally make her sound worthless. Even if he returned to the Heavenly Sword Continent, he would not be a threat to her. However, Lu Xuan did not do that. Instead, he told her the truth.
Lu Xuan nodded, indicating that he understood. He said happily, "I can understand you. Come, do you want to place some kind of restriction on me? Or do you want me to take a unique poison that only you have the antidote for? Or something else? As long as it can ease your suspicions, I can accept it. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to remove the poison for me before I bring you back to the Heaven Region."
Ling Jin did not expect Lu Xuan to be so agreeable. She did not hesitate and took out a black box. Lu Xuan understood with a glance. She had probably prepared something 'good' for him to eat.
"Don't look at me like that. This is good stuff," Ling Jin said with a light snort.
"Of course, I know it's good stuff." Lu Xuan deliberately emphasized on the word 'good'.
"You!" Ling Jin glared at Lu Xuan and said, "I didn't lie to you. This is a great tonic, but a tonic taken by the Demon Race. With your human body, you will not be able to withstand it. If you are unable to digest the medicine, your body will explode within seven days unless I remove it for you once every seven days."
"This medicine is enough to increase the strength of your body to another level. If you are not lying to me, then this will be your reward for sending me back to the Heaven Region. If you are lying to me, then just wait for your death. Other than my Ling Clan, who cultivate the power of the Sun and Moon, no one can remove it."
Lu Xuan bit his lips and smiled, "Don't forget that I have also cultivated your Sun and Moon God Glyph."
Ling Jin heard this and sneered, "With your little attainments, you want to remove the medicine without my Ling Clan's unique secret technique? I advise you not to try it easily. Otherwise, don't blame me if you die before I remove it in time. Alright, since you are prepared, eat it. "
With that, Ling Jin handed the black box to Lu Xuan.
