"So, our trip is coming to an end?" Mark sat up straight and asked in a daze.
"When are we going back? I'll adjust the schedule." George was much calmer, but there was also a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"There's no rush. The competition is in three months, and the other two ceremonies are more than a month away."
Mo Yan hurried to make up for the time. Seeing the two of them like this, Mo Yan sighed in his heart.
"Then we're almost done visiting Wisdom Lake. It's time for us to go back." George nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's almost over. That's fast." Mark was no longer as carefree as he usually was. He muttered to himself.
Mo Yan shook his head and continued to tell them about his other plans. It was better to take things slowly. It was just that they couldn't travel. After all, they would still be together.
…
The next morning, Zhu Lan brought Shenhe Town's specialty breakfast to the inn. She was going to show them around Shenhe Town as promised.
"Shenhe Town isn't big. Its remote location has slowed down its modernization. However, there are many ancient buildings and ruins left behind. They're all worth seeing."
At the dining table, Zhu Lan excitedly introduced the Tong Ye Bun, which was only available in Shenhe Town.
It was obvious that she wasn't excited because she was going to show them around. Instead, she was very interested in the town's history and legends.
Moyan and George nodded their heads from time to time. Zhu Lan's stories would occasionally mention the legendary Pokémon, so it was very interesting.
Mark thought that the Tongye Bun was quite delicious. He wondered if he should ask Auntie Qiao to learn how to make it to enrich their diet.
After breakfast, the four of them set off. The first place they visited was the ancient ruins in the center of Shenhe Town.
"Known as the God of Space, Palugia, and the God of Time …"
Along the way, Zhu Lan started to tell them about the legends that had been passed down since ancient times.
Because it was early, there weren't many people on the road. Zhu Lan didn't have to stop and greet them in the middle of her story.
The four of them walked for more than ten minutes before they arrived at the ruins. In a huge pit that was about three meters deep, there was an ancient and dilapidated … cave entrance.
Although there were traces of artificial excavation on both sides of the cave, because there was no stone door, it could barely be called a cave.
But before they could enter, Mo Yan and the other two involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
Because at the entrance of the cave … stood Zhu Lan's grandmother!
"Don't worry. Grandmother is the guardian of the ruins. She won't follow us for the whole day," Zhu Lan kindly explained. But looking at Mark's frightened face, it was obvious that this explanation was useless.
"Still not coming over?"
Zhu Lan's grandmother's voice came from the front. Mark instantly quivered. He put on his most obedient face and hid behind George.
Mo Yan and George looked at each other. They could only brace themselves and follow Zhu Lan to her grandmother.
"After you go in, don't touch the murals casually. Don't make any noise. Don't send out any elves that are very destructive. Do you understand?" The grandmother's voice came slowly. Her voice was not loud, but it made the three of them very nervous.
"Yes, yes!" x3
"Alright, bring them in." Grandmother nodded to Zhu Lan and looked away.
In an instant, Mo Yan and the other two felt the pressure on their bodies lighten.
"Yes, grandmother."
Zhu Lan replied softly. Just as she was about to bring Mo Yan and the other two into the ruins, her grandmother spoke again.
"Wait!"
The four of them turned around simultaneously. They did not even dare to take back their feet. They just twisted their bodies and waited for Zhu Lan's grandmother's instructions.
"Take back the elfin you're hiding in your shadow. The structure of the ruins is fragile. It can't be allowed to run around."
Mo Yan was stunned. Although he did not know how Zhu Lan's grandmother found out about the Geng Gui, he obediently called out the Geng Gui and put it back into the pokeball.
When they were about a hundred meters deep into the ruins and could no longer see their grandmother at the entrance, the three of them slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys made me nervous just now too." Zhu Lan did not know whether to laugh or cry when she thought about how the four of them had turned their heads in the same way.
"Speaking of which, how strong is grandmother? In front of her, we really feel a lot of pressure," Mark said with lingering fear.
Zhu Lan glanced at the entrance of the ruins. Then, she muttered, "Even if I use my strongest team, I might not be able to defeat grandmother's elfin."
"Hiss …"
There was a gasp. Mark's eyes widened in disbelief. In his eyes, even if Boss did not use super evolution and the Power of Darkness, he would not be Zhu Lan's opponent.
Even someone as strong as Zhu Lan could not defeat her grandmother's elfin.
How terrifying …
He did not dare to provoke a big shot.
Mo Yan and the other two stopped talking. Zhu Lan did not say anything else either. She began to bring Mo Yan and the others to tour the ancient ruins.
Zhu Lan's explanation was very serious, and Moyan and the others gradually became engrossed in it. Many of the legendary stories were also unveiled, and the shock they felt towards their grandmother was gradually forgotten.
When they finished touring the ruins and were about to leave …
"Phew, I'm ready. Let's go!" Mark exhaled heavily. He looked like he was ready to die.
However, when they reached the entrance, they found that the person guarding the entrance had been replaced by a middle-aged uncle.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Grandmother only comes to the ruins every morning. The other elders in the town are guarding the place."
Zhu Lan blinked innocently. After that, she greeted the middle-aged uncle familiarly and chatted for a while.
Mark: What if the cold and aloof goddess is corrupted? I'm waiting for an urgent reply!
… (_ _) ノ |
After such a scare, the few of them suddenly relaxed. They suddenly felt a little hungry.
Looking at the time, it was not long before lunch time.
There was nothing to say. Arrange it!
Then … they were stopped by a group of twelve-year-old brats.
"Look at those three guys. I heard that they are Sister Zhu Lan's traveling companions!"
A little girl covered her mouth and whispered to her friend next to her. However, her voice was clearly heard by everyone present.
"Hmph, they don't look that powerful. What are they capable of!" Another little boy said with a face full of envy. He did not hide his voice.
"Yuyi, Mutong, what are you doing!" Zhu Lan frowned. She was obviously dissatisfied with these younger siblings.
The two who had just spoken looked at Zhu Lan with obvious fear. However, at the same time, there was also undisguised worship in their eyes.
Mo Yan smacked his lips. These little brats. How could they express such complicated emotions through their eyes? He could only convince them.
"Sister Zhu Lan, to be able to become your traveling companions, I believe that the three brothers must be very strong. We want to challenge them and learn from them!"
Another little boy stood up. He was holding a pokeball in his hand. The words he said were obviously more clever.
You are the elder brother. You are very strong. Do you have the nerve to deny it?
