The faces of Wutian and the others darkened. What was the meaning of this? We gave you the monkey wine, and not only did you not shed tears of gratitude, but you also showed such an expression?
Tantai Xianling, who was at the side, was stunned. She walked forward and asked in confusion, "Grandpa, what's wrong? My brothers and sisters are our benefactors. The monkey wine was given to us by them, and because of them, Xianling could return safely …"
The old man waved his hand to stop her from continuing. Then, he looked at Wutian and the others and said in a deep voice, "Which tribe are you from? Why did you give the monkey wine to Xianling, and why did you escort her back?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the four of them frowned even more. Could it be that this old man thought they were people with evil intentions? Was that why he was so vigilant?
Zhang Ting smiled and explained, "Don't misunderstand, old man. We accidentally met Miss Xianling and listened to her story. We couldn't help but feel sorry for her, so we gave her a bottle of monkey wine and came to the Tantai tribe with her at her request. We didn't have any ulterior motives. As for the big tribe you mentioned, it's even more false."
"Is that so?"
The old man looked at his granddaughter in confusion. Seeing the latter nod, he stared at the four of them for a while and said in a low voice, "Honest people don't do underhanded things. If you have any ulterior motives, please say it directly. Don't beat around the bush."
Shan Youde said angrily, "Old man, what do you mean? We gave you monkey wine for free, and not only did you not know how to repay the kindness, but you also provoked me again and again with words? "
"Hehe, my granddaughter is pure and kind, and inexperienced. She will believe you after a few words, but do you think this old man is so easily fooled?"
The old man sneered and said, "The monkey wine is priceless. Even if you have enough money, you can't buy it. This old man wants to ask, why did you give me such a big gift for no reason? Also, the clothes you're wearing can only be worn by people from third-rank tribes and above. Based on this, you still want to deny that you have no ulterior motives? "
"F * ck, if it wasn't for your half-dead appearance, Grandpa Fatty would really want to beat you up." Shan Youde was extremely furious. He finally managed to be a good person for once, but in the end, he was treated like this. This was the first time in his life.
"Grandpa, it's really not what you think. It's Xianling who insisted on bringing my brothers and sisters back so that everyone can thank them properly." Tantai Xianling was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Sigh! You silly girl, they gave you a little benefit and you treated them as your benefactors. But did you know? Because of your kind actions, the tribe might fall into eternal damnation, "the old man said with good intentions.
"Hmph! Since we're not welcome here, let's leave! "
Ye Tian coldly snorted, turned around, and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Tantai Xianling hurried over and grabbed his hand. She said anxiously, "Brother Ye Tian, don't be angry! Let me explain it to grandpa. He'll believe me. "
"There's no need." Ye Tian coldly pushed her hand away and walked out.
Wutian shook his head. He was really aggrieved this time, but he was able to accept it. After all, they just met by chance and they wouldn't have any ties in the future. Besides, he had a good impression of Tantai Xianling, so there was no need to be so calculative.
"Sister Xianling, your grandpa is right. In the future, you can't trust others so easily. I'm leaving now, take care." Zhang Ting smiled and reminded her before leaving.
"Old thing, you're really blind. There are no good people in the Asura Palace, but we're not so heartless as to deal with a rotten tree like you. Besides, if we really had ulterior motives, why would we bother to plan? We could just wipe you out with a wave of our hand. "
Shan Youde scolded and left with a wave of his sleeves.
"Brother, sister, don't go!"
Tantai Xianling was so anxious that she burst into tears. She hurriedly ran out and grabbed the corners of their clothes, refusing to let go. Her tear-stained face was so moving that it made one's heart ache. Even Ye Tian, who had always been cold-blooded and cruel, could not bear to forcefully slap her small hands away.
"Asura Palace?"
When he heard the words' Asura Palace ', the old man was stunned. His eyebrows were filled with doubt. There wasn't a tribe called Asura Palace here, but why did it sound so familiar to him, as if he had heard of it before?
Suddenly, his perplexed eyes shone brightly. When Shan Youde flicked his sleeves, he saw three golden words on the corner of his sleeves. It was the Asura Palace!
Instantly, as if the clouds had dispersed, memories that had been sealed for a long time came flooding back.
When he was very young, his father had told him that their ancestors were not from here, but from another continent.
That continent was vast and boundless, countless times larger than this place. According to his father, their ancestors came here to train, but in the end, they were not strong enough and had to stay here to reproduce.
Gradually, his body began to tremble. It was all because of a piece of memory. His ancestor was a disciple of the Asura Palace on that continent!
The old man hurriedly raised his head and shouted with all his strength, "Please wait!"
Hearing this, Tantai Xianling's body stiffened, and she stopped pulling. However, she changed to another method. She looked at them with her big, clear eyes, full of pleading. She looked pitiful, and her tears never stopped.
"Sigh! What a headache. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have come even if you beat me to death. "Seeing this, Ye Tian sighed helplessly. He regretted provoking this little brat.
"Tantai Xianling, if your grandfather is still as rude as before, don't blame me for being impolite." Even a clay Buddha would get angry at such insults, let alone Wutian. If it had been someone else, they would have left long ago, even if they weren't afraid of being slapped to death.
Hearing this, Tantai Xianling smiled through her tears and nodded. "Xianling promises that grandfather won't do it this time."
"That better be the case," Wutian said faintly and took the lead to enter.
Ye Tian and the other two looked at each other, shook their heads, and followed.
"Old thing, what else do you want? Let me tell you, if you dare to speak rudely again, don't blame me for being ruthless, "Shan Youde threatened. It seemed that he was still holding a grudge about what happened before!
The old man was not angry. He asked seriously, "Are you from the Ancestral Land?"
"Ancestral Land?"
"Hehe, this old man forgot that the Ancestral Land is just the name of our First Heaven." The old man smiled. His attitude was completely different from before. Wutian and the others couldn't get used to it for a while.
Wutian was puzzled. "Then what is the Ancestral Land you mentioned?"
The old man's face turned serious and he said seriously, "The Ancestral Land I mentioned is the Samsara Continent where you are from!"
They were shocked to hear this. They did not expect the old man to know about the Samsara Continent.
Wutian frowned. "We are indeed from the Samsara Continent. How did you know?"
"It really is you. Haha, how many years has it been? How many years has it been? You are finally here, cough cough …"
The old man seemed to be very excited. He raised his head and laughed hoarsely. In the end, it affected his injuries and he coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood.
"Grandfather, what are you talking about? Where is the Ancestral Land? Where is the Samsara Continent? Also, why are you waiting for brother and sister? Do you know them? "Tantai Xianling's little face was full of doubts and she threw out a series of questions.
"Xianling, give grandfather the monkey wine and go out first. Grandfather has something to say to them. Also, close the door and tell everyone not to come in and disturb us," the old man said softly.
"Why do I have to go out?"
"Are you disobedient? Grandfather is going to be angry."
The old man's face turned serious. Tantai Xianling shrunk her neck and put down the jade bottle reluctantly. Then, she walked out of the room reluctantly.
The old man was not as rude as before. Instead, he opened the jade bottle and drank a mouthful of monkey wine. He immediately lowered his head and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. However, his complexion recovered a lot.
Then, he stood up shakily and knelt on the ground with a bang. He said sincerely, "Four seniors, it was me, Tantai Cong, who failed to recognize you. Please forgive me for offending you!"
The few of them were stunned. The old man's attitude changed too quickly! Previously, he looked like he was going to condemn them, then he asked humbly. Now, he was kneeling on the ground and apologizing. What was he trying to do?
"Old man, get up quickly!"
Zhang Ting went forward and helped him up. He smiled and said, "You are worried that your granddaughter will be deceived and used by others. We can understand your feelings. You don't have to be so polite."
"Now, you can tell us how you know about the Samsara Continent. Also, you said that you have been waiting for us. What do you mean?" Wutian was expressionless, but his tone was much softer.
Tantai Cong nodded and sighed. He said, "Actually, I am not the only one who knows about the Samsara Continent. The ancestors of all the people in the Seven Layers of Heaven came from the Ancestral Land. My ancestor was one of them. Moreover, he was a disciple of the Asura Palace!"
"What?!"
Ye Tian and the others turned pale with fright. Even Wutian could not calm down. He did not expect that this old man's ancestor was a disciple of the Asura Palace.
As for whether he was telling the truth or not, the Tantai Tribe was located in this remote valley. It was impossible for them to know the level of the disciples of the Asura Palace. Since he could say that he was a disciple of the Asura Palace, he could not be wrong.
"In the past, my ancestor was forced to stay in the First Layer of Heaven because he was not strong enough. However, he was always thinking of ways to return to the Ancestral Land. However, the Seventh Layer of Heaven was extremely dangerous. My ancestor had tried to break through countless times in his life, but he returned without success. He also had a body full of hidden injuries. In the end, he had no choice but to stay here and give birth to his children.
Even so, my ancestor never gave up. He made a will and asked his descendants to live in the First Layer of Heaven and wait for the people of the Asura Palace to come.
However, two thousand years have passed and the people of the Ancestral Land have not appeared. This old man basically gave up hope. However, I never thought that Xian Ling would willfully go out and bring back people from the same sect as my ancestor. "
"Haha …"
At the end of his words, Tantai Cong could not help but laugh to the sky. He even burst into tears. "Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard! The Tantai Tribe has been at death's door for so long. Finally, the people of the Ancestral Land will come. My ancestors, my ancestors, you can rest in peace now! "
