The old man said again, "My surname is Yang, and my name is Yang Wantian. I founded a family in the Xutian Realm."
Zhao Zhen immediately looked solemn and began to listen.
"My family can barely be regarded as a middle-class family in the Xutian Realm. It was originally developing well, but because my son and daughter-in-law found a treasure, and the news was leaked by one of their so-called friends, Therefore, he was killed.”
"Then, my family was also wiped out."
"I had no choice but to escape with my granddaughter and travel to various continents on the Zhenwu Continent. Of course, the so-called traveling is just a nice thing to say. In fact, we are avoiding the pursuit of our enemies."
The old man said lightly, "But, the main reason why I did this is that I need to take care of my granddaughter, because she is too young and too weak. If I didn't need to take care of her, then I could completely avoid it. Their investigation, and I could have carried out my revenge a long time ago."
"But in order to take care of her, I have been unable to do anything."
"But it's different now, you showed up."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen was shocked and looked at the old man seriously.
"You guessed it right. I want to entrust Yang Ling to you temporarily and ask you to help me take care of her. I wonder if you can agree?"
Seeing Zhao Zhen's eyes, the old man also got straight to the point and said directly.
"Um...senior, your grandfather and grandson have helped me save my life. Logically speaking, I shouldn't refuse this matter. However, I am not in a good situation now, and you should know it."
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and then said seriously, "Many people want to kill me. I'm afraid I can't take care of Yang Ling."
"I know, but I believe you because you swore the soul oath as soon as you woke up."
The old man said, "Just this one action shows that you are a kid who knows how to repay kindness, and you are not without ability and background. Of course, this is not the most important thing."
"The most important thing is that although Ling'er will encounter some dangers by following you, it is at least much safer than following me."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zhen was stunned.
"My enemy is too powerful. Although I am not weak, I am still far behind compared to my enemy. To put it more bluntly, I cannot take Ling'er to take revenge, so I can only entrust it to you. "
The old man said seriously, "So, what's your answer?"
Zhao Zhen fell silent.
In fact, he wanted to persuade the old man not to be so eager for revenge, but looking at the hatred in the old man's eyes, Zhao Zhen knew that it would be useless for him to say this.
After all, he is not an old man, and he has never experienced the experience of an old man, so how can he be qualified to advise the other party?
Moreover, the other party was indeed life-saving to me.
Such a great favor, but the other person only made such a request, how could he not agree?
Naturally, Zhao Zhen nodded, "Okay, since this is the request of the seniors, I will naturally not refuse, but there are some things I want to say upfront."
"you say."
"I made an oath to my soul before. I will repay the life-saving kindness of my senior and my granddaughter. I will naturally fulfill it. However, the sky is unpredictable and manpower is sometimes exhausted. Therefore, I will not guarantee anything. My only What I can guarantee is that I will try my best to take care of Ling'er."
"Try your best, that's enough."
The old man smiled after hearing this, and patted Zhao Zhen's shoulder with his palm, "If you promise that Ling'er will be well taken care of by you, then I won't believe you. After all, there is nothing wrong with anything in this world. For sure?"
Zhao Zhen nodded as he listened, "The only certainty is that nothing is certain."
"Haha, good point."
The old man laughed, as if he was very happy, and then said, "Okay, since you agree, the matter is settled. Let's go back and drink medicine."
"Um."
Zhao Zhen also nodded again, and then returned to the cave with the old man.
Time, just like this again
Three days have passed.
During these three days, except for the first day when Zhao Zhen continued to take Yang Ling to catch birds, the remaining two days were when Yang Wantian took Yang Ling to play.
Zhao Zhen naturally would not disturb their grandson. He knew that Yang Wantian was leaving, so he naturally wanted to spend time with his granddaughter.
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, when Zhao Zhen came back from taking Ling'er to play outside, Yang Wantian's figure had disappeared in the cave.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart, but Ling'er on his head jumped down and asked doubtfully, "Where is grandpa?"
Zhao Zhen said nothing, but Yang Ling shouted directly, "Grandpa."
There was no response from the cave.
Yang Ling ran out immediately and started shouting outside, "Grandpa! Where are you!"
The sound came out, causing echoes to echo throughout the valley, but there was no answer from the old man.
This made Yang Ling finally panic, and her beautiful little face was suddenly filled with fear, and she murmured, "Grandpa is gone, ugh... Grandpa is gone..."
"Linger, look quickly."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen also said something quickly and pointed to the stone bed in the cave.
Yang Lingtong's eyes lit up, and he ran over and picked up a letter on the stone bed.
"Ling'er, grandpa has something to do and it's not convenient for him to take you with him, so you can follow Zhao Zhen for the time being. He will take good care of you for grandpa."
"Don't blame Grandpa, Grandpa is also doing it for your own good. Of course, don't worry, Grandpa will come to you in as little as three years or as little as one year."
"Be obedient and follow Zhao Zhen carefully."
"Besides, don't cry."
After reading the words on the envelope, Yang Ling's big eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and the next moment, she burst into tears.
"Oh...grandpa doesn't want me anymore...Zhao Zhen, grandpa doesn't want me anymore..."
Zhao Zhen stepped forward quickly, hugged Yang Ling, and said softly, "Ling'er, be good, grandpa won't let you go. Grandpa loves Ling'er the most. Didn't he say he wanted to do something? And grandpa also As I said, he will come to you in as little as three years or as little as one year, so don’t be sad..."
While comforting Yang Ling, Zhao Zhen also patted Yang Ling's back gently, while feeling more pity in his heart.
After all, Yang Ling is really too young.
She lost her parents at a young age, and now her only grandfather also left her. How could Yang Ling not be sad?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Grandpa is going to take revenge. No, I want to go to grandpa, I want to go to grandpa..."
The cry sounded again, and the next moment Yang Ling broke away from Zhao Zhen's arms and ran directly out of the cave.
Zhao Zhen didn't stop him, but just followed him. He knew that Ling'er needed to take action at this time.
As soon as he ran out, Yang Ling quickly started running around in the surrounding green mountains, crying loudly for his grandfather while running.
Unfortunately, there was no response, but countless birds were frightened.
It wasn't until a long time later that Yang Ling's voice became hoarse from shouting and he couldn't run anymore, that he fell to the ground.
Zhao Zhen quickly stepped forward and hugged Yang Ling again.
"Ling'er, don't be sad. Grandpa is gone. He said he would definitely come to find you."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The sound of crying sounded again, but Zhao Zhen could only hold Yang Ling in his arms and pat Yang Ling's back.
And with Zhao Zhen's patient comfort, Yang Ling finally fell asleep in Zhao Zhen's arms.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Yang Wantian's figure suddenly appeared from the bushes on one side.
Seeing Yang Wantian, Zhao Zhen sighed again, but he could see Yang Wantian's wet and red eyes. It was obvious that Yang Wantian was also very sad.
Squatting down, Yang Wantian gently touched the sleeping Ling'er's head a few times. Finally, he stood up and looked at Zhao Zhen.
"Zhao Zhen, I leave my granddaughter to you."
"Well, senior let go
Heart, I still say the same thing, I can't guarantee anything else, but I will try my best. As long as I live, Ling'er will live. "
Zhao Zhen also nodded and said seriously.
"Okay, that's enough."
Yang Wantian responded solemnly, and then with a wave of his hand, two books and a bottle of elixir appeared in front of Zhao Zhen.
"This is?"
"These are two secret books. One is the Sutra of Ten Thousand Changes, which is a method of transformation at the empty level. By practicing this technique, you can change your own bones, shape and temperament, including internal energy attributes, for a short period of time. I want you to go back. , you definitely need to hide your identity, then you should practice this Ten Thousand Changes Sutra. With your cultivation level, people below the fifth level of Kongwu Realm will not be able to tell your true identity."
The old man introduced, which made Zhao Zhen's eyes light up and he nodded. He needed this kind of technique.
"This second secret book is my natal skill, and it is also the secret method of my family. It is called Life Gathering Skill. It is a high-level empty-level secret skill that I obtained in an ancient cave. It is of wood attribute. , this is also the most suitable technique for alchemy masters to practice. I see that you are also proficient in alchemy, so this technique for you will probably have some effect on your future practice."
"This is too expensive."
Zhao Zhen's pupils shrank, "After all, this is the natal skill of the senior, and it is the core of the senior's family establishment..."
"My family is gone, so what kind of core is this?"
The old man waved his hand, "So you can just take it. I just hope that after you practice this technique, you can often give guidance to Ling'er. She also practices this technique, but she is still immature and needs guidance."
Hearing this, Zhao Zhen was also shaken.
But in the end, he nodded, "Okay, I will definitely give Ling'er good guidance."
"Well, the last one is this bottle of elixir. This is an empty-level soul-reviving elixir. There are twelve pills in total. People who are below the third level of the empty martial arts realm only need to take one, and the consumed power will be restored instantly. If you are affected by If you are seriously injured, taking this pill can temporarily extend your life."
Zhao Zhen suddenly looked serious when he heard this, and opened his mouth to say something.
"Haha, no need to say more, I know you want to say that this elixir is more useful to me, but you don't have to worry, I have my own preparations."
