Chapter 154 Secrets
Chapter 1,54
Crunch.
The door was pushed open, and the moonlight extended a path of light, and in that path, a slender body slowly walked in, and the clear eyes were trembling at this moment.
She walked into the room, lowered her head slightly, and her hands were tightly tucked together, her eyes dodging, but she didn't dare to look at the man on the bed.
Lin Dong, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looked at the girl who was walking in. After a while, he saw that the latter seemed to have no sign of speaking, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Xinqing, is there anything wrong?"
Xinqing's teeth were biting her mouth tightly, and the thorny hands even turned a little blue due to force. Her heart seemed to be struggling quite hard.
Lin Dong looked at her quietly and stopped urging her.
Quiet continued in the room for a long time, and in Xinqing's eyes, there was a flash of water in her eyes, and then she suddenly knelt down.
"Mr. Lin Dong..."
Lin Dong stared at Xinqing and smiled: "It was your mother who asked you to come?"
"Um."
"If I was right, your mother wants you to stay here tonight, right? Why? Do you hope the Nine-Tails will get my protection?" Lin Dong said softly.
"I'm sorry..." Xinqing's eyes were red, and the water couldn't stop flowing down: "I know I'm sorry to Sister Xinlian, just for the tribe members, I can give everything, even my life or... body."
"The Nine-Tail tribe was very powerful before, but I did not have the lofty ambition to restore my glory. I just want my tribe members to survive well, and not worry about being caught every day and becoming a female slave whom others ravaged at will."
Lin Dong looked at the girl who was kneeling on the ground and crying sadly, and sighed softly. It was too heavy for Aunt Xin to put the honor and disgrace of a race on the shoulders of such a weak girl...
"I know Lord Lin Dong's personality. My mother's method definitely doesn't work... But let me sit here for a night. I will explain it to my mother tomorrow."
Lin Dong sighed, he walked down from the bed, and then sat down next to Xinqing. Looking at the girl's little face that was crying like a rainy face, he smiled and said, "I come from a small dynasty family in the Dongxuan Realm. Do you know? When I was very young, I had an enemy, and that enemy had the strength to easily wipe out my family..."
"My father was seriously injured by him and became a useless person... At that time, there was a huge gap in strength between me and him. He was a brilliant genius in that dynasty, and I was just an unknown person in a small family."
Xinqing stopped sobbing and looked at the young man with red eyes with bright smiles in front of her. She was a little unimaginable. This man who even Moro Aokiji, who attaches great importance to the most top-level powerhouses in the world, actually had such a past...
"The story later was very simple. I learned to endure and gradually became stronger through my experience. In the end, I killed him..."
Lin Dong stretched out his palm, touched the girl's little head, and whispered: "I know your race is difficult, but in this world, if you want to truly protect the people you care about, you can only rely on your own strength."
"Your starting point is much better than mine. At this age, you are the strength of the Shengxuan Realm. This is simply a super genius in my dynasty... So, believe in yourself, one day, you will make the Nine-Tail Clan stand in this demon world again."
"At that time, you would think that all this is unnecessary today. Of course, if there is really that day, don't hate me. I don't want to provoke an angry nine-tailed fox..."
"Puff."
The girl couldn't help laughing, and then her perky nose twitched gently, and her eyes looked at Lin Dong with bright eyes: "Does Lord Lin Dong think I can do it?"
"Of course, you have this potential." Lin Dong said with a smile.
When the girl heard this, she gritted her silver teeth gently, and her little hand suddenly tightened. At this moment, Lin Dong could see the depths of the pair of eyes, as if a cluster of flames were rising.
"Thank you, Lord Lin Dong, I know what to do."
Xinqing smiled playfully at Lin Dong: "Now I know why Sister Xinlian, who has such a high-sighted vision, falls in love with you..."
"Well, I'm just a friend with her." Lin Dong said awkwardly.
Xinqing looked at Lin Dong's face, and suddenly leaned forward with petite body. A pair of slender and slender arms hugged Lin Dong lightly and whispered: "Sir Lin Dong, you are right. If you want to truly change the Nine-Tail Clan, you can only rely on our own strength. If you lose that courage and live a life of surviving storm, you will not blame others..."
Lin Dong was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to speak, the softness in his arms had already retreated. Then the girl stood up and blinked at him: "Sir Lin Dong, let's rest early, Xinqing has disturbed him."
The sound fell, and the girl had already left the room, only the faint fragrance remained.
Lin Dong looked at the back of the girl who had left the room. The latter seemed to have changed something. He could feel that some of the cowardly expressions that originally existed in the girl's eyes completely dissipated at this time.
However, I hope she can get better and better. He regards her as a friend, and he will naturally help if he can. However, he does not want to rely on his help. After all, as he said, if you want to change, you still have to rely on yourself.
...
In the night, the girl ran in the Jiuwei Village, and then she rushed into the ancestral hall in the clan with some breath, where she met Aunt Xin and several elders in the clan.
"Xinqing?" Aunt Xin looked at the girl rushing in, but was slightly stunned.
The elders looked at each other but didn't say anything. I think they knew what Xinqing would do tonight...
"Mom, I said that your method is useless to Lord Lin Dong." Xinqing smiled faintly.
Aunt Xin's eyes were slightly dark, and she immediately shook her head with a bitter smile. She raised her head and murmured with a slightly sad tone: "Is this the fate of my Nine-Tail Clan..."
"I'm going to the Ancestral Soul Hall!"
The girl's firm voice suddenly sounded in the ancestral hall. When Aunt Xin and others heard this, they all trembled. Then they looked up in shock and looked at the eyes holding their hands tightly. However, there was no slight wavering or timidity at this time.
"I want to make a breakthrough, and even if I fail in the end, I will never regret it!"
Xinqing stared at Aunt Xin with her eyes tightly: "I know that the Ancestral Soul Palace can only be opened for the last time. That is the last chance for our Nine-Tail Clan, but if we continue to be timid like this, our Nine-Tail Clan will continue to decline."
"Mom. Instead of living in fear every day, it's better to give it a try. If it still fails in the end, it's God that my Nine-Tail Clan will not be able to cast glory anymore, that's the case..."
At this point, the girl's eyes became decisive and sad: "It's better to let the Nine-Tail Clan disappear automatically in this world as soon as possible. At least, it will allow me Nine-Tail Clan to maintain the last bit of decency."
The entire ancestral hall became silent at this time. Aunt Xin and others looked pale, and their eyes were also a little shaken. They thought they had never expected that this young girl who was usually timid and weak was astonishingly sharp at this moment...
"Class leader..."
The silence lasted for a long time, and a woman clenched her palms: "Xinqing is right. Although we only have the last chance,... instead of waiting in a daze, putting expectations above others' protection, it is better to really fight once!"
"If the ancestors bless me, my Nine-Tailed Clan will have a time to regain glory. If it really fails...it is indeed meaningless to live like this in a stagnant way."
The other few people were also silent, but deep in their eyes, it seemed that there was a flame that had been suppressed for a long time and started to move.
Aunt Xin trembled, and in the end she couldn't help crying: "I know we are all tired like this, but I just want to protect our tribe members. Our tribe has suffered too much."
"So mom... let's fight for the last time." Xinqing walked up, knelt beside Aunt Xin, holding her cold palm with her little hand and said with a smile.
Aunt Xin looked at the girl in front of her and tears kept falling: "You will die. None of the tribesmen who entered the Ancestral Soul Hall have survived for thousands of years. There is a cursed death land..."
"It's better than being attracted to that big man one day and being arrested as a concubine or even a female slave?" Xinqing said softly.
Aunt Xin looked at her daughter who was suddenly more mature and firm than them. The last stubbornness in her heart was finally completely broken away. She stroked Xinqing's soft long hair with her palms, and then gritted her teeth and nodded: "Then open the Ancestral Soul Palace!"
There was finally a joyful look on Xinqing's cheek: "Mom, thank you!"
Aunt Xin wiped away the tears from her cheeks and said, "If you fail, then there will be no Nine-tailed tribe in this world from now on."
"Tomorrow I will recruit tribe members to announce this news, and then I will send you to the Ancestral Soul Hall!"
"Um!"
The solidified atmosphere in the ancestral hall finally dissipated a lot at this time. Perhaps because of the final decision, the cheeks of Aunt Xin and others no longer had a look of depression, but instead smiled a little more.
"It seems that the Ancestral Soul Hall is a very dangerous place..."
Suddenly, laughter came in, which shocked everyone in the ancestral hall. Then, he turned his head and saw a figure leaning against the door.
"Master Lin Dong?" Xinqing looked at the figure and was stunned, then quickly wiped away the splashes on her cheeks.
Aunt Xin looked at Lin Dong, then stood up and saluted him: "Brother Lin Dong, I'm reckless about what happened before, so please don't be surprised."
Lin Dong shrugged, looked at Xinqing, and said, "Can outsiders enter the Ancestral Soul Hall?"
Aunt Xin was stunned and said, "You can enter, but it's very dangerous there."
Xinqing's little face changed at this moment, and she hurriedly said, "Sir Lin Dong, it's not possible..."
"I'll accompany her to the Ancestral Soul Hall."
Lin Dong ignored the girl's objection and stretched his waist and turned around. When he left, there was a murmur.
"It's really... just to comfort me... how could I comfort myself so much?... It's a failure..."
