Xiao Lingyu was enveloped by the thick multicolored light, so he couldn't see the situation outside. However, he was still a little worried. He knew that things weren't that simple, but he also understood Jiang Lanyue's personality. Once she made a decision, she would do it. Thus, he didn't try to persuade her any further.
After waiting for less than a minute, Xiao Lingyu heard another explosion. Then, an extremely powerful force rushed over and pushed him and the multicolored light away.
The multicolored ball of light hit the wall and then dissipated. Xiao Lingyu fell to the ground and tumbled.
However, he didn't care whether he was injured or not. He immediately got up and ran over to Jiang Lanyue.
Jiang Lanyue appeared to be a little weak. Her delicate body was still trembling, and her face was as white as paper. When Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of her, she bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Lingyu supported Jiang Lanyue's tottering body and asked with concern, "Are … are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Lanyue stood up straight and reached out to touch the ancient book on the jade table. Xiao Lingyu didn't realize that the Silver Moon Dagger in Jiang Lanyue's hand had already been broken in two and was lying quietly on the ground.
Without the barrier of light, Jiang Lanyue's jade-like fingers easily touched the cover of the book. However, something unexpected happened at this moment.
A gray stream of air rushed out of the book and rushed towards Jiang Lanyue.
Jiang Lanyue thought that there was danger, so she reflexively released a circle of five-colored light to wrap around her body. In a moment of desperation, she actually forgot to protect Xiao Lingyu as well.
The gray stream of air didn't seem to be able to stay outside for long. It seemed to be in a hurry to find a place to stay. After hitting a wall with Jiang Lanyue, it turned around and rushed into Xiao Lingyu's body at lightning speed.
Xiao Lingyu also cried out in alarm. Unfortunately, he didn't have any cultivation and couldn't dodge that fast stream of air. Thus, he was inevitably hit and was stunned.
Jiang Lanyue secretly blamed himself. Then, he asked Xiao Lingyu with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm, I'm fine. It's so strange. It felt like a cold wind blew past me. Apart from that, I didn't feel anything special." Xiao Lingyu felt a little suspicious.
Both he and Jiang Lanyue naturally thought that the gray stream of air was a trap for those who dared to touch the book. However, that didn't seem to be the case.
The strange thing was that the ancient book turned into a pile of ash after emitting a greyish stream of air. It was blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.
"Some things are very strange. As a mortal, you can't detect them. Come, let me check for you."
As he spoke, Jiang Lanyue pulled Xiao Lingyu to his side and used his Divine Sense to carefully examine Xiao Lingyu. However, what surprised him was that even though his Divine Sense was not weak, he couldn't find where the gray stream of air was hidden. He also couldn't find the slightest difference between Xiao Lingyu and before.
"That's strange. How could this be?" Jiang Lanyue frowned and said with a puzzled expression.
"Can we go out now?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Yes, that mountain wall should allow us to directly pass through." Jiang Lanyue nodded and said.
Just as Jiang Lanyue was about to take Xiao Lingyu out of the Ancient God's cave, the space above the two suddenly fluctuated violently. Then, a scene that surprised Xiao Lingyu appeared.
The violently fluctuating space suddenly ruptured and a black hole that was as tall as a person slowly appeared above the two of them.
"This is?" Xiao Lingyu asked with a dumbfounded expression.
"It's nothing. Someone is looking for me." Jiang Lanyue pulled Xiao Lingyu behind him and said calmly.
Sure enough, a moment later, a man wearing a brocade robe walked out of the black hole.
The man had a dignified appearance. His eyebrows were broad, and his long hair fluttered in the wind. He appeared very elegant and elegant. Behind him were two attendants wearing armor and helmets, each holding a simple and unadorned broadsword.
"Cousin Lan Yue, I've finally found you. If I had come a few days later, I'm afraid that even I would have been punished when I returned." The man walked out of the black hole and clasped his hands into fists. He spoke very politely to Jiang Lanyue.
"Hmph, I'm sure that you took on the mission of coming out to find me. Didn't you just come out for a walk? What's the fuss about?" Jiang Lanyue wrinkled her nose and said.
"Cousin Lan Yue still understands me the best. I also care about Cousin Lan Yue. Let's go back early. Cousin Lan Yue has been out for a few days now. It's time to go home and take a look. We must not provoke Uncle's anger." The man calmly responded.
"Don't use my father to pressure me. If I was afraid of him, I wouldn't have snuck out. However, I'm really tired of playing outside. Since you've found me, I'll go back with you. " In reality, Jiang Lanyue was very guilty. Although she said that she was not afraid of her father, she was still a little fearful of him in her heart. Since she had been found, it was better to go back. Otherwise, if her father personally came, she would inevitably be punished.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Lingyu took a step forward and asked reluctantly.
"Yes, it's time to go home." Jiang Lanyue nodded. Her expression was somewhat reluctant. The days she spent with Xiao Lingyu were the happiest days since she was born.
"Eh? A mortal? " The man who called Jiang Lanyue his cousin exclaimed in surprise. He took two steps forward and walked in front of Xiao Lingyu. He also carefully sized up Xiao Lingyu from head to toe.
"My name is Xiao Lingyu. Greetings to this … cousin." Since the other party was Jiang Lanyue's relative, Xiao Lingyu naturally had to be polite and take the initiative to greet him. He didn't know how to address him, but when he saw the other party's young appearance, he finally forced himself to address him as cousin.
"Hmph! A mortal, as insignificant as an ant, dares to call me cousin?! "
However, the other party didn't appreciate it at all. With a wave of his sleeve, a fierce force swept towards Xiao Lingyu.
"Impudent!" Jiang Lanyue didn't expect her cousin to be so impulsive. As she reprimanded him, she also shot out a five-colored radiance to meet the fierce Qi.
The two forces exploded in front of Xiao Lingyu. Although he wasn't directly hit, his body was still pushed far away and slammed heavily into a cold and hard stone wall.
Falling from the stone wall, Xiao Lingyu felt pain all over his body. He couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Eh? You didn't die? " The man was surprised to see that Xiao Lingyu was still breathing. Although the force just now wasn't very strong, it was definitely not something a mortal could withstand.
Jiang Lanyue hurriedly ran to Xiao Lingyu's side and helped Xiao Lingyu up. She also helped Xiao Lingyu wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Jiang Lanyue so attentive and attentive, the man's eyes narrowed. He secretly tried to figure out Xiao Lingyu's identity. However, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Xiao Lingyu was just a mortal. Why was his cousin so concerned about him?
"Hmph! Have the experts of our Family Jiang fallen to the point where they have to show off in front of mortals? "Jiang Lanyue pointed at the man and scolded him in a flustered and exasperated manner.
"It's my fault. It was just a moment of carelessness. Please forgive me."
The man hurriedly cupped his hands and admitted his mistake. Then he continued, "However, cousin, he's just a mortal. There's a world of difference between us and him. It's best if we don't affect the lives of mortals like him."
But in his heart, the man was very dissatisfied that Jiang Lanyue stood up for a mortal. Existences like them wouldn't care about the life or death of a mortal. Normally, they wouldn't even look at cultivators who were slightly weaker.
"Cousin, it's getting late. We should go back." The man saw that Jiang Lanyue was still very angry, so he changed the topic and urged her.
"I'll treat his injuries first." As Jiang Lanyue spoke, she blew a multicolored radiance at Xiao Lingyu. Then she said gently, "I really should go. If fate wills it, we'll meet again in the God Realm."
"Okay, see you in the God Realm. Bye bye." After the multicolored radiance entered his body, Xiao Lingyu immediately felt his body's condition improve. When he heard Jiang Lanyue say goodbye again, he didn't ask her to stay.
Jiang Lanyue knew what "bye bye" meant. She also said goodbye to Xiao Lingyu and then flew into the black hole.
"Bye bye?" The man was a little suspicious, but he didn't think too much about it. It was already beyond his expectations that Jiang Lanyue would agree to go home with him so easily.
"A mere mortal like you dares to have designs on my cousin? How laughable!"
After Jiang Lanyue and the others entered the black hole, the man's disdainful words sounded in Xiao Lingyu's ears.
Xiao Lingyu originally wanted to reply, but there was only a very narrow crack left in the black hole. He saw Jiang Lanyue's beautiful eyes through the crack, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Naturally, he couldn't say anything.
However, just as the crack was about to disappear, a silver radiance flew out from it.
The silver radiance was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it hit Xiao Lingyu. However, a multicolored radiance immediately bloomed from Xiao Lingyu's body, blocking the silver radiance.
After an explosion, Xiao Lingyu's body once again came into close contact with the cold stone wall.
In the spatial tunnel, Jiang Lanyue angrily questioned her cousin, "Can't you see that he's my friend? You actually attacked him before the spatial door disappeared? You're a monarch-god expert, but you actually sneak attacked a mortal. Do you have any shame? "
"Since he's a mortal, then Miss shouldn't have left a ball of essence in his body. If Uncle finds out about this, he won't be happy," the man replied fearlessly.
"You'll stay as far away from me as you can dream!" Jiang Lanyue was so angry that her body trembled. Unfortunately, she couldn't go back. She could only copy Xiao Lingyu's words and reply.
*****
Xiao Lingyu didn't know how dangerous it was. If Jiang Lanyue hadn't left a ball of essence in his body, he would have been killed by the man's sneak attack.
He endured the pain in his body and struggled to stand up. However, he saw a thin silver needle on the ground. Only then did he remember that it was this needle that suddenly flew out to attack him.
Xiao Lingyu was not a stupid person. He could naturally guess that it was the man who attacked him. Thinking back to how his warm face was met with a cold butt from the other party, he naturally did not have a good impression of the man. However, he could also think of the gap between him and the other party, so he could only angrily curse a few times.
"This silver needle should be a high-grade item. It's worth keeping. If, and I'm saying if, I become a powerful person one day, I'll definitely return the favor!"
Xiao Lingyu picked up the silver needle and went to the jade table to pick up Jiang Lanyue's broken silver moon dagger. He didn't dare to stay here for a moment longer. He directly walked towards the stone wall that was still sealed.
