The news came as a surprise.
Shirō Makino looked at Huo Ziyu, "Do you know my parents?"
"I've heard of your father, Bai Xiuyuan," Huo Ziyu said.
Shirō Makino nodded, "Okay, I agree."
No matter how anxious he was, he had to listen to the news about his parents first.
Then, Huo Ziyu returned to the General's residence and told his parents the result.
Zhou Lanzhi could not help but blame, "How can you tell him this? Don't you know this will make him go to Milky Way even more? "
Huo Ziyu smiled bitterly, "Mother, if I didn't tell him, he wouldn't have stayed to attend the banquet. I don't know this person very well, but I can feel that he has a very stubborn temper. "
Huo Lian said, "Yes, his parents were like this, saying that for the sake of the child, they must go to Milky Way at the appointed time, without delay."
Zhou Lanzhi sighed, "What should we do?"
Huo Ziyu said, "Mother, I think it's better to tell the truth."
"No!" Zhou Lanzhi refused on the spot, "We can't tell the truth, and we can't let these children go to Gong Fortress. What's the difference between that and sending sheep into a tiger's mouth? Even though there are a few young Martial Emperors among this group of youngsters … they are nothing in front of a colossus like the Gong Clan Fort. "
Huo Lian said, "If they really go and find that their parents are already …"
He did not continue, but Huo Ziyu understood.
He thought for a moment and said, "Father, I'll go with them!"
"This …" Zhou Lanzhi and Huo Lian were stunned on the spot. Zhou Lanzhi then flatly refused, "That's even more impossible!"
"Father, mother, as the saying goes, the son pays his father's debts. You can't leave Luoye City, you can't leave the fortress, but I can. Moreover, no matter how powerful Gong Fortress is, they can't be so unreasonable, right? I'm just accompanying Shirō Makino to find his parents, not to do anything else. Even if his parents are really gone, they have to give us a reason, right? "
"Son … you overestimate the moral character of the people of the Gong Family Fort." Zhou Lanzhi sighed softly.
Huo Lian revealed a thoughtful expression. After a long while, he finally nodded. "If … the kind of thing that no one wants to see really happens, then you are responsible for bringing them back to me! They weren't sent to the Milky Way by the three empires. No matter how powerful the Gong Family Fort is, it doesn't make sense for them to forcibly detain others as slaves. "
"But …" Zhou Lanzhi still felt that this kind of thing was not reliable.
Huo Lian glanced at his wife. "We owe Xiuyuan and his wife our lives."
Zhou Lanzhi murmured, "Then I might as well go."
"We can't leave here," Huo Lian said. "Let our son go. Although Tianhe is dangerous, it shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to take Third Brother with him."
In the end, Zhou Lanzhi could only nod and agree. Although she was worried about her son, her husband was right. They owed him!
At night, General's Mansion.
The scale of the banquet wasn't big, and it was basically just the people from the General's residence.
When Shirō Makino and the others arrived, they were warmly welcomed.
Many people in the mansion were very curious about this group of young people and had a good impression of them.
The group of people that Huo Ziyu sent not only brought back the "evidence", but also brought back all kinds of information about this group of people in Maple City.
The two words "Master Bai" were not to be trifled with!
Such a young person could make a group of Emperor-level masters call him Master Bai. How could this be possible without some ability?
When the banquet first started, Huo Lian and Zhou Lanzhi did not immediately appear, afraid that this group of young people would feel uncomfortable.
Halfway through the banquet, just as Shirō Makino was about to ask Huo Ziyu about his parents, the two of them finally appeared.
Then, Huo Lian and Zhou Lanzhi invited Shirō Makino to the side, with Huo Ziyu by their side.
Soon, Xiao Bai's face was filled with shock and disbelief. Then, it was followed by anger, an uncontrollable anger.
Of course, this anger wasn't directed at the Huo family.
Huo Lian and Zhou Lanzhi felt guilty and felt that they had let down their benefactors.
But from Xiao Bai's point of view, that was also his parents' choice.
What made him angry was the group of people who had framed his parents back then. Unfortunately, that group of people had basically all died.
There was only King Qi left … but King Qi had admitted his mistake and apologized!
Moreover, in that incident, although the main culprit who had chased his parents to the Heavenly River was King Qi, the people who had sent his parents to the "devil's land" like the Gong Family Fortress were the elders of the Bai family!
"Your father had said that it was an internal conflict in the family. In order to ensure your safety, they had no choice but to accept this outcome," Huo Lian said with a sigh.
"General Huo, this matter has nothing to do with you. It was my parents' choice to go to the Heavenly River, so you don't have to feel guilty." Shirō Makino stood up and bowed to Huo Lian. "Thank you, General Huo, for telling me about my parents. We will set off for the Heavenly River tomorrow."
"Child, the Heavenly River is too dangerous. The Gong Family Fortress is not a place you can enter." Zhou Lanzhi tried to persuade him.
A smile appeared on Shirō Makino's face. "I don't have much of an impression of my parents. It could even be said that I don't have much of an impression of them. But as a son, I know that my parents are suffering there. How can I sit back and watch? No matter what, I must go to the Heavenly River and the Gong Family Fortress. However, I do have a favor to ask of General and Madam. "
"Child, tell me." Zhou Lanzhi looked at Shirō Makino. "Also, if you don't mind, call me Auntie and him Uncle. We are your parents' peers."
Shirō Makino nodded. "Shirō Makino greets Uncle, Auntie, and Big Brother!"
Zhou Lanzhi and Huo Lian looked gratified. Huo Ziyu returned the greeting with a serious expression.
Shirō Makino said, "I would like to ask Uncle and Auntie to take care of my friends after we leave."
His understanding of the Heavenly River was too shallow. After hearing Huo Lian and his wife's words, Shirō Makino immediately dismissed the idea of bringing Yu Xiuxiu, Ouyang, and Li Peiqi to the Heavenly River.
Even if they were willing to accompany him to death, he could not harm them.
Just as Jin Zheng and the others had said, the danger of the Heavenly River was not on the same level as where he was standing.
"Child, if you have to go, then your uncle and I will not stop you. As you said, as a son, you can't watch your parents suffer. But don't worry, your friends will not be in any danger in Luoye City. We will also try our best to train them! "Zhou Lanzhi said seriously.
"Then, I thank Auntie and Uncle in advance!" Shirō Makino bowed again.
Then Xiao Bai stayed and chatted with Huo Lian and his wife for a while. He briefly explained why he came, which shocked Huo Lian and Zhou Lanzhi.
They did not expect that this group of young children had already done such a sensational thing in the three empires.
They did not expect Shirō Makino to have gone so far on the road of Talisman Artist at such a young age.
Xiao Bai told them that he was a Great Grandmaster.
Although Huo Lian and Zhou Lanzhi had heard from their son that Shirō Makino's Talisman Technique was very powerful, they were still shocked to hear him admit that he was a Great Grandmaster.
After Shirō Makino left, Huo Lian could not help but sigh. "A Peak Great Grandmaster at the age of 21! It's so shocking. "
"And the companions around him are also shocking. An Emperor Level Daoist in his twenties … Husband, how old were we when we entered the Daoist?" Zhou Lanzhi was also shocked.
"I think Ziyu was in her twenties or thirties at that time?" Huo Lian's eyes showed a look of reminiscence. "We should be in our sixties or seventies …"
"So, no matter what, we can't let anything happen to this group of young people!" Zhou Lanzhi murmured. "Humans need such geniuses."
"Well, no matter how unreasonable the Gong Family Fortress is, I believe they won't go too far for such geniuses," Huo Lian said.
"I hope so. It's a pity that we don't have any connections at Tianhe, otherwise … we can help them a little," Zhou Lanzhi said. "I'd rather Ziyu bring such geniuses back!"
After Shirō Makino returned, his expression was normal.
Lin Zijin asked him what he said to the Huo Family General. Shirō Makino said casually, "Just chatting casually. They met my parents before."
"That's it?" Lin Zijin understood Bai Muye too well. Between soul mates, there were practically no secrets that could be hidden.
"Yes, let's talk later," Shirō Makino said.
That night, under the lively atmosphere of Huo Ziyu and another group of young people from the General's residence, the group returned to their homes.
The next morning, when Yu Xiuxiu, Ouyang Xingqi, and the others woke up, they quickly found that the Fu Long Battle Team had all disappeared.
After everyone gathered, Zhou Lanzhi, who had rushed over, told them that the Fu Long Battle Team had already gone to Tianhe.
Yu Xiuxiu and the others were not too angry, they just felt very disappointed.
In the end … were they still drifting apart?
Li Peiqi muttered, "Even if I wanted to follow him, I wouldn't be able to get any luck …"
Zhou Lanzhi did not want this group of young people to misunderstand Shirō Makino, so she told them some secrets of Tianhe that these young people had never heard of.
"It is precisely because he knows about this that he decided to let you stay here and wait for them. I have Spiritual Pearls here, if it is not enough, I can get someone to make them for you now!" As the Great General's wife and a strong Emperor Level Two expert, Zhou Lanzhi was very domineering.
She looked at the group of people. "Your current realm is too weak! If you go to Tianhe, you will not be a burden, but it will definitely be hard for you to survive. You can stay here in peace. My husband, Shirō Makino's parents are old friends, so I will definitely nurture you well. "
Now that things had come to this, this group of people understood that even if they forced themselves to go to Tianhe, it would be meaningless.
Now that they did not hate anything else, they only hated that their realm was too low and their strength was too weak. If they could also step into the Emperor Level, they would be able to help Xiao Bai, and they would not need to be sad here.
Ouyang Xingqi returned to her room a little dejectedly and sat quietly on the bed.
She did not want to blame Shan Gu, but she still could not help but think of a question — if one day, Shan Gu had to choose between her and the group of people from Fu Long Battle Team, he would definitely choose Fu Long Battle Team without hesitation, right?
She had this thought, but it could not be said that she was being unreasonable. At least she had never asked Shan Gu such a question.
But now, Shan Gu did not hesitate to leave her here and left with the people from Fu Long Battle Team.
He did not even leave a letter behind.
At this moment, there was a knock on her door.
Ouyang Xingqi rubbed the corners of her eyes and said, "Who is it?"
"I am a servant girl in the residence. When Young Master Dan left, he told me to pass a letter to Miss Ouyang."
Whoosh!
Ouyang Xingqi was like a bolt of lightning. She opened the door and took the letter from the servant girl. Her whole body seemed to be emitting light.
She did not even care about the servant girl and quickly opened the letter.
The letter was very long and had a few pages.
It was more suitable for a chatterbox like Shan Gu.
"I wanted to tell you in person, but I was afraid that you would clamor to go with me. If you did not agree, I was afraid that it would hurt your pride. But this time, you really cannot go. Actually, Brother Bai did not want us to go either, but he knew our tempers, so after hesitating, he still told us the truth. Well, things are more serious than we thought … "
After reading this letter, Ouyang Xingqi completely calmed down.
Shan Gu used this most primitive and ancient method to tell her the whole story. At the same time, he also expressed his love for her very seriously.
Actually, the two of them had been together for so long that they already knew each other very well.
However, after reading this letter, Ouyang Xingqi truly understood how much Shan Gu cared about her.
The little bit of bitterness that she felt because Shan Gu left without saying goodbye was quickly forgotten.
In the letter, Shan Gu said that he, Chae Yi, and Si Yin all owed Xiao Bai too much!
If not for Xiao Bai, they might not even be able to reach the Grandmaster level at this age, let alone become an Emperor.
It was Xiao Bai who brought them out of a remote city on a remote planet like Hundred Flowers City. They followed him all the way to the top.
"The more dangerous it is, the more we have to stay by his side. Not to repay his kindness, but for the brotherhood!"
"We rose because of him. We used to look up to his back all the way, and now we can finally help him. At a time like this, if we are not by his side, who else can be by his side? "
"I won't say that I'm sorry, Chichi. I believe that you don't want your man to be a coward who doesn't know how to repay others' kindness, right?"
Ouyang Xingqi looked at this sentence with red eyes. When she saw this sentence, she suddenly spat and whispered to herself, "Pfft, you're not my man yet!"
As she thought about it, she could not help but cry. It was hard to predict whether Shan Gu would be a blessing or a curse when he went to the Heavenly River. If … no, there was no if!
However, she still regretted it. Why had she been so reserved?
What was there to be reserved about?
At the same time, Yu Xiuxiu, Li Peiqi, and the others also received the letter left by Lin Zijin and Chae Yi.
In the end, they treated this group of people as true friends and partners in life and death. They did not want them to feel uncomfortable.
Only people who were truly on their side would consider so much.
Almost everyone completely calmed down when they saw the letter.
Shirō Makino and the others were on the way.
The spacecraft sped along at high speed.
Lin Zijin, Chae Yi, Wen Jun, Shan Gu, and Si Yin kept stealing glances at the calm Shirō Makino.
Shirō Makino was drawing talismans.
He was drawing talismans that no one else could understand!
They could not understand the previous ones either.
However, Shirō Makino drew those talismans very quickly.
This included the talismans that he used to treat the general of the 36th Fortress. It was just that the preparatory work was a little delayed.
Mixing ink, making talisman paper, making talisman pens … all these preparatory work required some time.
However, when it came to drawing talismans, it was basically done in one go.
But now … the talismans that Xiao Bai drew were not only incomprehensible, but they were also very slow!
It was so slow that he had only drawn a few simple lines after the spacecraft had flown for an hour!
However, seeing how focused he was, no one dared to disturb him.
"Let's go, let's go. Let's have a chat at the side." Lin Zijin's eyes were filled with heartache as she gestured for everyone to leave.
Soon, the few of them reached the room next door.
This spacecraft was very big. It would not be a problem even if there were more people.
"Brother is in a bad mood." Lin Zijin looked at them and said, "Actually, I'm in a bad mood too."
This was not a joke. She guessed that her parents were most likely with her brother's parents!
They had a good relationship back then. Now that they were in the Sky River, how could they not be together?
The Gong Family Fortress sounded like a tiger's den. Which child would not be worried when they heard that their parents were in such a place?
"No matter how domineering the forces in the Sky River are, they still exist to guard the Sky River. They … won't go overboard, right?" Chae Yi said.
Lin Zijin glanced at Wen Jun.
Wen Jun said, "In my memory, there is no detailed information about the Sky River."
Shan Gu said, "Actually, I think that maybe everyone is thinking too much. Just like what Chae Yi said, those forces exist to fight against the living beings in the Sky River. How bad can they be?"
Lin Zijin said, "They're not bad. Maybe … they don't see those people sent by the three empires as human beings."
Everyone looked at her.
Zi Jin continued, "Be it Elder Brother's parents or my parents, when they went to the Milky Way, their cultivation levels were actually very low. Even Elder Brother's Uncle Bai Sheng and that great aunt of mine … When they went to the Milky Way, they had just stepped into the Divine level not too long ago. Before coming to the frontline, we might think that the God level is quite amazing. But now, we are all Overlord level. But we don't even dare to say that we can do anything in the frontline. The God level … in a place like the Sky River, what are they? Grandmasters and Grandmasters? What are they? "
Wen Jun said, "That's true. So maybe the people sent by the three empires can only …"
As Wen Jun spoke, she suddenly noticed that Si Yin was giving her a look. Wen Jun asked bluntly, "Si Yin, what's wrong? Can't you say this? "
Si Yin was speechless.
Lin Zijin couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Sister, our Si Yin's EQ is so high for once, but you exposed it."
"I, I said something wrong again?" Wen Jun was a little depressed. She felt that she had improved a lot recently!
Si Yin was speechless. She looked at Lin Zijin and said, "My EQ has always been high, okay?"
Lin Zijin reached out and touched Si Yin's mushroom-shaped hair. Then, she said to Wen Jun, "I understand what you mean, Sister. There's nothing you can't say. If the people from the three empires go to the Sky River, they will probably be slaves. At critical moments, they might even be used as cannon fodder."
The atmosphere in the room stiffened slightly. Everyone was silent.
Lin Zijin smiled and said, "Alright, maybe it's not as bad as we think, right? If it's really bad, then we'll go and save them. I'll kill whoever bullies them. "
Lin Zijin didn't mention another 'if', and no one mentioned it. Even an honest lady like Wen Jun didn't mention it.
Because no one wanted to see that outcome.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in the aircraft. A light screen was projected automatically. Someone was following their aircraft from afar.
Even Whitey, who was drawing talismans, was alarmed and stopped drawing the talisman brush in her hand.
Ten minutes later.
Everyone looked at the young man in the golden crown and python robe in a daze.
"Brother Huo, why are you following us?" Shirō Makino asked curiously.
"I've decided to go to the Sky River with you guys," Huo Ziyu said seriously.
"Stop fooling around." Shirō Makino looked at him. "Hurry up and go back."
"I'm serious." Huo Ziyu said, "Although I'm still quite a distance away from Di Er, I'm still an Emperor-level Dao-Accessing Practitioner. When it comes to fighting, none of you here may have fought as much as I have. More importantly … I know the situation over at the Milky Way better than all of you. So, if I go, it'll be better. "
Shirō Makino was silent for a moment. Then, he looked up at Huo Ziyu and said, "Thank you."
Huo Ziyu smiled. "It's my duty."
