Seeing his ancestor's hand stretched out in front of him, Xiche was a little stunned for the first time.
But then, he still held the ancestor's hand.
These are not the hands of an ordinary old man, nor are they dry, hard and rough.
On the contrary, the ancestor's hands turned out to be like a pair of girl's hands, warm and soft.
This was also the first time Xi Che had real physical contact with the old man. He was pulled behind her seat by the old man, so that he was completely blocked by his own chair.
"Just stand here and don't speak." The ancestor warned again.
This is a bit deceptive. How is it possible that just standing behind the chair can prevent others from sensing his presence?
But if it was the ancestor who said this, Xiche couldn't help but believe that all this was true.
He chose to stand obediently behind his ancestor, looking at the long pale golden hair hanging down by his ancestor. Those long hair were soft and shiny, but because of old age, the golden color slowly faded, revealing some kind of crystal clear beauty. white.
There is an indescribable pleasant fragrance on the ancestor's body, which does not belong to any spice known to Xi Che. If it is really said, it is probably like a flower fragrance with an unknown name.
While Xi Che was thinking wildly, the ancestor in front of him had already said calmly: "I didn't expect that the person who came would be you."
Xiche subconsciously poked his head out of his ancestor's seat - his ancestor just didn't let him speak, but didn't let him look.
But at this glance, Xiche was a little stunned.
Because in front of him, a silver circular portal appeared. There was a faint silver starlight around the portal, and then, a foot collapsed from the silver portal.
"Lord Xixi, don't you think that Lord Star Lord will come in person?" The voice that spoke was obviously childish.
Just as Xi Che was surprised, this man had already walked out of the door and sat opposite his ancestor.
The person who appeared in front of Xi Che was a child.
Of course - he looks a little older than me, almost eight or nine years old. He is not tall, but has a delicate face. He wears a long and elegant black dress with countless silver star patterns embroidered on it, which makes him look whole. People are quiet and distant.
But that's not what surprised Xi Che.
What surprised him was the color of the other person's hair.
He has short sterling silver hair that is neatly trimmed. Under the silver hair is a pair of sterling silver eyes, which reveal a hint of cunning and smile.
He actually looks 60 or 70% similar to Xing Xi, especially his short metallic silver hair.
"Tell me your name." The ancestor looked at him quietly and then said slowly.
"What a pity." The other party smiled and looked at the old man in front of him: "Indeed, it's just the first time we meet. However, the Star Master told me that there are not many opportunities to meet you. Being able to face the legend in person, for everyone born Everyone in this world is a great honor.”
His voice was unhurried and unhurried, with a certain kind of flattery and indifference, especially the way he acted like a close relative, which was completely inappropriate for his age.
"Of course, I will obey Master Xixi's orders."
"My name is Xingze."
"He is the representative of the Star Lord in this era."
"The new agent?" Xixi showed a somewhat sarcastic smile.
"So the former agent has been eaten by you?"
"I really want to tell you that the answer is yes, so that you will feel more at ease." Xingze smiled slightly: "But unfortunately, no, because he has been contaminated, and eating him is not a happy thing. thing."
"This is your family matter, I just asked a little bit." Xixi shook his head and said: "But I will not allow him to appear within the scope of Zhange City. If he appears, I don't mind helping you clean up this matter." pollute."
"You are qualified to decide matters within your domain." Xingze looked at Xixi and said, "But similarly, we also hope that Master Xixi can give the final answer to matters in our domain."
"Lord Star Master told me that Xing Xi is about to die."
"Are you really going to watch her die and not hand her over to us?"
Xi Che couldn't help but trembled when he heard the other party clearly mentioned Xing Xi's name.
He somewhat understood why his ancestor said things about Xingxi were more complicated than he imagined.
And—does this Star Lord mentioned by Xing Ze seem to be sure of saving Xing Xi?
If so, is the other party a potential partner for cooperation?
Xi Che shook his head vigorously to expel the thought.
Talking about this matter with the ancestors is already a very dangerous adventure. If you want to make a deal with this group of powerful beings of unknown origin, then it is really a matter of seeking skin from a tiger.
Facing Xingze's questioning, Xixi's attitude was much calmer.
"I have already given the conditions for exchange, and you have already agreed. Why do you want to go back on your word again?"
"Because things have changed." Xingze looked at Xixi and said, "Originally, Xingxi still had at least three years to live, and many things would happen in those three years."
"But now, the Star Lord tells me that she will die within three months."
"I don't know how you kept this precious work of art, but there is no doubt that you have failed as a custodian."
The other person is such a small child, but he can sit so calmly in front of his ancestors and say some aggressive words.
Xi Che was even a little dazed.
So much so that some did not hear clearly what the other party said.
Or I don’t want to hear it clearly.
Yes, I am the initiator of all these variables.
In front of Xi Che, Xi Xi looked at the other party and laughed.
With a certain sense of willfulness.
"So, what are you going to do? Do you want to take her away from me, the unqualified custodian?" She looked at the other party, her smile calm and cold.
"I don't dare." Xingze said in a low voice.
"However, the City of Stars will not sit back and let the being who carries half of our treasures die like this. There is still one month left before your birthday. Our mission will arrive in seven days. We ask to see Xingxi for confirmation. Her state, if you cannot allow her to continue living in this world as you promised before, then we will take over your unfulfilled promise."
"Please remember." Xingze leaned forward slightly, and the little boy looked at the old woman in front of him.
"Of course Xingxi is Xixia's daughter."
"But at the same time, she is also the treasure of our Xingche clan."
As Xingze's last words came out, a golden flame instantly rose up centered around his body, wrapping him in it.
The flames were so hot that the air in the entire room was scorching.
Xi Che felt like he was swallowing red-hot coals with every breath he took.
Standing in the center of the flames, Xingze's smile remained calm.
"If she's really dead."
"You are committing a crime."
