Ming He and Ming He looked at each other, then secretly glanced at Ye Shang, then bent slightly and said, "Yes, Great Elder."
After the two people exited, the elder stood up and turned to look at Ye Shang, "Guest, please sit down."
Her voice was strong and she didn't look very old. Ye Shang had just come over to see an old elf.
Ye Shang sat on a stool made of lotus leaves and asked, "Do you know why I'm here?"
The great elder also sat on the lotus leaf stool nearby and brewed a cup of lotus leaf tea with the hot water that had been heated.
She poured a cup of tea and put it on the table beside Ye Shang, and then replied: "Isn't it the treasure of this underground world that the guests come from afar for?"
Ye Shang thought to himself that this was correct. They came here in the first place for some of the antiquities.
The great elder said slowly: "Guest, please have a cup of tea."
Ye Shang glanced at the lotus leaf tea, reached out to pick up the tea cup, and took a sip. The faint fragrance of the lotus leaves passed from her throat to her stomach, making her feel like she was in a summer lotus room.
"Nice tea." Ye Shang said briefly.
She has drunk a lot of good tea. The head brother likes to collect all kinds of tea leaves. Every time he talks to her, he will bring out a new tea. This lotus leaf tea is also good.
The great elder also took a sip, and then continued: "I wonder what the guests call me?"
Ye Shang said calmly: "Ye Shang."
The elder was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know which Shang it was, she didn't know many human words.
"Can I call you Ye?"
Ye Shang smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes."
The transparent wings behind the great elder's back flapped twice inadvertently, and he smiled slightly, "Ye, although we are a clan of elves, because we live in the underground world, there have been humans who accidentally fell here, so we have no regard for humans. Not very unfamiliar.”
Although their clan may be small, their lifespan is very long.
Ye Shang thought about it and knew it from the previous chat with Ming He, "Yeah, I know."
The great elder continued: "Although I don't know if we have what you want here, but I hope you won't mention this world to anyone after you go out."
Ye Shang said, "No, what I want is very simple."
What's more, this world is not entirely an underground world. It can be said that this is another space, similar to the space of Xuantian Continent, but the area here is not as vast as Xuantian Continent.
In the world where the elves live, in her opinion, the elves are the purest and kindest race. This is indeed the case with everything she has seen and heard along the way.
Although no other elves came close, it was clear from their peeking eyes from a distance that they were curious but without any malice. They were simply looking at her, a foreign race.
The Great Elder thought for a moment and said: "Actually, we have also thought about moving to other worlds, but the barrier left by our ancestors has always protected us."
In fact, it is not entirely a blessing. Because of the barrier, they will always live in this single world. What they face every day will always be this simple lotus pond, lotus flowers, and large lotus leaves. These things have become their main source of support. A home to survive.
The rest of the place is just a piece of lawn, unchanged for thousands of years.
There were elves who wanted to leave, but when they came back, their wings were gone and only bloody wounds were left on their backs.
Not long after, he died.
This incident hit the elves so hard that no one dared to sneak out anymore.
Ye Shang thought for a while and said, "The rest of the world is very cruel. Wouldn't it be great for the elves to live in this simple world? At least they don't have to experience the changes of the times and the hardships of the years."
Although her Q version's body was not as good as her original body, she could still easily tell how long these elves had lived.
For example, the person in front of me doesn't look very old, but he is more than tens of thousands of years old.
Having lived in this single world for tens of thousands of years, it’s no wonder that we have yearning for the outside world.
There was a trace of gentleness that had accumulated over time on the corner of the great elder's mouth: "Maybe, the elves are not adapted to the outside world."
Ye Shang thought for a while, "I wonder what I can exchange for what I need?"
The great elder thought for a long time before replying: "Promise, I want the promise of a new world."
Ye Shang was startled, and she looked at the great elder intently, "Do you mean to change the current living environment of the elves?"
The Great Elder looked at Ye Shang gently and nodded: "Yes, I know you will come, and I also know the purpose of your coming. I even know what the world is like today. Although I have never gone out to experience it personally, I can Seen in the family treasures.”
Ye Shang then smiled. Sure enough, every race has its own treasures.
It seems that this elven treasure is not simple either.
She thought for a while and said, "But I'm not sure if I can let you live in another world, so you just believe me?"
The great elder said: "What I believe is the revelation given to me by my clan's clan treasure."
Ye Shang stopped worrying and just said: "I see that the place is still full of green, but the outside world is still rotten. Unless there are mutant plants, there are basically no normal green plants."
"I understand." The elder nodded lightly, as if he knew what Ye Shang wanted.
"I agree to your conditions." Ye Shang looked into her eyes and said, "But how can you be sure that I will disappear after taking the things and not fulfill my promise?"
The Great Elder pondered for a moment and said: "I believe you, because among the humans who have been able to come to our world for so long, there are no bad people."
For example, the humans who came here not only taught them how to read, but also taught her many things.
Ye Shang said: "Okay, this matter is not difficult, but I need to see if your race's treasure is worth it."
It may not be difficult to find another space for the elves to survive, now that the world is at a critical stage of evolution.
The great elder showed a loving smile, which was much more sincere than the previous negotiations, "Please follow me."
After saying that, she stood up, and the transparent wings behind her fluttered and flew away.
Seeing how happy she was, Ye Shang couldn't help but think, doesn't it mean that the elves don't have scheming intentions? He also said that the elves are very simple.
It didn't seem like that. At least she felt that these elves were very smart and knew what they were worth in exchange.
Ye Shang summoned a light shadow, stepped on the sword, and followed the great elder.
The great elder glanced at the sword at her feet, said nothing, and led Ye Shang to a secret place.
Ye Shang took a look and saw that this place was on the edge of the lotus pond farther away from the elf's residence. Under the lotus pond on the edge, there was a giant lotus leaf pole, and a dark lotus pole was hollowed out and built inside. Like a tree hole.
