Swoosh — —
A mass of purple-red flame fell to the bottom of Nujiang. Lu Qiji leaped out of the flames, darted over to support the old woman, and asked with concern, "How are you?"
"I'm fine." The old woman waved her hand, forcing herself to sit up straight, and said in a hoarse voice, "Just these years my energy has been exhausted, and I'm old, I'm afraid the oil lamp is exhausted, and I can't do what I want — — Just now I heard the sound of hammers over there, I was burning with anxiety, so — —"
The old woman waved her hand, indicating that she was just lightly injured, and nothing serious. "Why are you here? Only you came? "
Lu Qiji's face darkened. "The Peacock Imperial Court and the Dark Flame Empire suddenly sent troops to the seven countries. The nine countries are in a state of fierce fighting, and all the available people have joined the war. Even some strong Starry Sky experts have been hidden by the royal families to save their lives at the critical moment — — Dean is contacting people everywhere, I think the royal families of the nine countries will give the Academy some face."
"Give the Academy face, but no one came to guard the boundary?" The old woman sneered. "These people are very selfish, only care about their immediate gains and losses, and do not know that when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? If the Yin and Yang boundary stone is broken, the land of the divine continent will be occupied by the Abyss Race, then how can they survive? "
"At least, the royal families of the nine countries are very concerned about the position of the Academy. If Starry Sky Academy stands on the side of the Peacock Imperial Court or the seven countries, it can affect the choice of camp of countless Starry Sky students during the war. In any case, they will send people to survey and support — — Grandma, don't worry. "Lu Qiji said softly.
She was not a person who was good at comforting others. After saying a few words of comfort, she felt more and more guilty, and her voice was getting softer and softer.
The old woman glanced at Lu Qiji, the corners of her mouth curved into a faint smile. Because of this smile, the wrinkles on her face became more profound, like annual rings that were carved with a knife.
"To be able to make the Phoenix of the Undead call me Grandma, it really is something to be proud of. This time, I feel that the Yin and Yang World is not guarded for nothing — — "
Qiandu turned her face away, unwilling to look into the old woman's eyes. The other's praise made her feel shy and overwhelmed.
"We've done our best for the human race, but the humans have failed to live up to our expectations. Just as you said, even if they came for Tai-shu Yongsheng and Broken Mountain's sake, they would only be doing it half-heartedly … They can do it half-heartedly for their own people, but can they do it half-heartedly for the demons on the other side? Look at the Yin Yang Boundary Stone. It could be broken by them at any time. At this critical moment, if the entire human race can't put down the war and unite as one, I'm afraid that a catastrophe will soon befall us … "
After listening to the old woman's words, Lu Qiji was silent for a long time before she let out a deep sigh.
She knew that the old woman was telling the truth, but … there was nothing she could do. They couldn't possibly use swords to force the Nine Nations Royal Families to send people to protect the barrier, right? He was afraid that when the time came, they wouldn't send people over. Instead, they would gather experts to destroy him.
Although it was said that the Phoenix Clan was the mother clan of humans, in the process of power struggle … was there any lack of father and son killing each other, and brothers dying?
"Is there any movement from that little dragon?"
Lu Qiji's expression darkened. "Yes."
The old woman looked at Lu Qiji's expression. "It seems that he did something that you don't like — — What? You don't want to tell this old woman? This old woman hasn't been out of Nujiang for many years, I'm really curious about what's happening in the outside world. "
"He was accompanying the Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court — —"
"Huh?" The corners of the old woman's mouth curved into a smile again, very faint, afraid to let Lu Qiji see it. "That little dragon was accompanying the Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court, so you don't feel good about it?"
"I just — — think he's changed."
"Changed so that you don't like him?"
"It's not that I don't like him — — I've never liked him. But — — why would the half-god race get involved in the war of the nine countries? And like a general, he helped the Little Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court to attack the city. Such behaviour, does he still see himself as a dragon? Doesn't he know that the more he helps the Peacock Imperial Court to fight the other countries, the more tragic the war will be, and that it will not end in a short period of time — — What about the Yin and Yang World? What about the Abyss Race? "
"That makes sense. So — — you're jealous? "
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous? "
"You like him."
"I hate him now, I get angry when I see him — —"
"Silly girl, you, a dragon and a Phoenix, are natural auspicious signs — — it's just that the little dragon always likes the human race, it's reasonable for you to have some resentment — —"
"What natural auspicious signs — — He and I are enemies that will not rest until one of us dies — —"
"You don't mean it!"
"— —"
"You like him, but he guards the Little Princess of the Peacock Imperial Court all day long — — Sigh, just like the king of the dragon race tens of thousands of years ago. What's more amazing is that they like the Ying family girls. Could it be that the Ying family girls are the nemesis of the dragon race? The dragon race can't move when they see them? "
"— —"
"However, you can't hide this kind of thing. If you really like the little dragon, you might as well tell him. Some men, they just like to pretend to be confused. They clearly know everything, but if you don't say it, they will play dumb with you. The more they pretend, the older they get — — "It was unknown what the old woman was thinking, but the smile on her face gradually faded, and the expression in her eyes slowly faded, replaced by a bone-deep disappointment and loneliness.
"Grandma — —"
"I just felt something after hearing about you, so I casually said it — — I'm old, how would I understand the matters of love between you young people?"
"— —"
"However, you should fight for it. With your temperament, it's not that you're indecisive — — You're the mother of the human race, the high and mighty divine race, you're more than enough to be a good match for his little dragon. What is he not satisfied with? "
"Grandma, I don't mean that. I'm angry because — — I think some of the things he's done recently are a bit out of line. "
"Huh?"
"They — — have a lot of harsh military laws, often starve and kill prisoners, and when they attack the city, their methods are even more fierce and cruel — — This is not in line with his usual temperament. So, I'm worried — — "
"This is war. Either you die or I die — — It's impossible to ask for mercy and forgiveness in war. "
"Yes." Lu Qiji nodded. "So, what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve. He's fighting the nine countries in the outside world, while I'm guarding the border with Grandma at the bottom of Nujiang. "
