"Why are you telling me now about such a big thing?" Elder Ai seemed to have lost his sense of proportion.
Not many people know about the Li family’s sacred tree.
Even in the entire Guanlong Mountain, only five elders know about it.
This is why Mrs. Li asked Cui Yingxiong to leave first after saying these things.
As one of the Star Lords, Cui Yingxiong has a high status in Guanlong Mountain, but as long as he has not become one of the five elders, he cannot know any information about the sacred tree.
This shows how terrible the information blockade is.
"Gu Yuan...impossible! Gu Yuan is not from the Li family, how can he become the guardian of the sacred tree?" Elder Ai slowly calmed down and began to doubt the authenticity of Mrs. Li's words.
After all, Gu Yuan had just killed Ling Feng, and he learned from Cui Yingxiong that the person who took Gu Yuan away in the end was Butler Liang of the Li family.
It can be seen that the Li family wants to protect Gu Yuan.
Analyze this information.
Elder Ai does have reason to believe that Mrs. Li said this deliberately to protect Gu Yuan.
But the expression on Mrs. Li's face was still serious.
"Elder Ai, you should understand that I will never joke with you about such a big matter."
"But Gu Yuan is not from the Li family." Elder Ai said with a wry smile.
"Yes, I am also surprised, but..." Mrs. Li seemed to have guessed that Elder Ai would have such doubts, and directly handed over the letter Li Siming had sent back.
Elder Ai took the letter and unfolded it, looking at it carefully. His expression kept changing, as if he had been greatly shocked.
This situation was indeed something he had not expected.
Logically speaking, this is completely impossible to happen, but now it has actually happened.
Although he felt incredible, the matter was now a foregone conclusion. Elder Ai closed his eyes and raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. Then he looked at the old lady and asked: "Old madam, what do you think?"
"How else can we see it? Now Gu Yuan has signed a contract with the sacred tree, which cannot be changed." Mrs. Li said, "Besides, I believe you have read it, and you should understand that Gu Yuan was chosen by the sacred tree. .”
Elder Ai nodded.
at the same time.
In the sacred tree space.
Gu Yuan sat cross-legged under the bronze sacred tree, enveloped in a ball of light.
The golden light that enveloped him was as hazy as mist, and above Gu Yuan's head, a shadow of a bronze sacred tree slowly condensed, which was naturally much smaller than the main body.
Countless light blue light spots, like mottled starlight, gathered into a chain of light, connecting Gu Yuan with the projection of the bronze sacred tree. The light patterns rolled, as if they were undergoing some kind of blending.
Every pore on Gu Yuan's body slowly expanded, and the pure light mist was slowly absorbed by him. In the process, the golden light of the bronze sacred tree slowly flickered, as if it was breathing.
When Elder Ai entered the sacred tree space under the leadership of the old lady, he happened to see this scene. If Elder Ai was still a little disbelieving before, the doubts in his heart were completely dispelled at this moment.
Gu Yuan's body seemed to be covered with a layer of holy golden light, as if even his body had become illusory, and the hazy projection of the bronze sacred tree above his head was a symbol of completing the contract with Gu Yuan.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, Elder Ai couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just incredible."
If he was still hesitant about where to stand before, at this moment, he no longer had any worries in his mind.
To Gu Yuan, who had already signed a contract with the Bronze Sacred Tree, the Ling family was nothing.
Not only Elder Ai thinks so, if the other four Guanlongshan elders know what happened here, they will definitely think the same as Elder Ai.
Although until now, they, like the Li family, don’t know where the Bronze Sacred Tree came from, and why the Li family needs to guard the Bronze Sacred Tree all the time, the Bronze Sacred Tree seems to be closely connected to this world. of.
Whenever there is a natural disaster, the Bronze Sacred Tree will give an early warning, but the time is too short and it is difficult for them to respond. Otherwise, many casualties can be avoided.
Elder Ai and others speculated that if one day, the bronze sacred tree completely loses its vitality, it means that the world will usher in a disaster.
Although this speculation has not been confirmed, judging from the unusual features of the bronze sacred tree, it is very possible.
It is precisely because of this that even in Guanlong Mountain, only five elders can know about the Bronze Sacred Tree. If too many people know about it, if the news leaks out and the demons covet it, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is precisely because of this that the Li family has been deeply rooted for so many years without being too conspicuous. Although the people in Guanlong Mountain are aware of the existence of the Li family's bronze sacred tree, they have never thought of having any influence on the Li family. What special care and protection.
The best way to protect a precious thing is never to reinforce the layers of defenses, which will attract more people's prying eyes.
The best way should be to downplay its existence so that the world will not notice it, just like hiding a drop of water. It should not be put in a bottle and stuffed into a safe, but thrown directly into the sea.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier?" Elder Ai turned to look at Old Mrs. Li and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, Gu Yuan was fine. What if he really died in Lingfeng?" Isn’t it very troublesome for my hands?”
"That's not the case." The old lady said, "Since the sacred tree chose him, it means that he will not die so easily. Furthermore, if even Ling Feng can kill him easily, he is not qualified to become The guardian of the sacred tree. At worst, we are just waiting, maybe the sacred tree will have other choices, and isn't Li Siming still alive and well now? "
After a pause, the old lady continued: "Besides, when I first saw him, I didn't think he had the qualifications to become the guardian of the sacred tree."
Elder Ai smiled.
It's not surprising that the old lady has such thoughts. Gu Yuan seems to be too young, and he doesn't have many complicated experiences. Although he has many advantages, he can't compare with a being like Li Siming.
"If it weren't for Li Siming going to Northern Xinjiang now, I wouldn't have let him sign a contract with the sacred tree now." Mrs. Li continued.
Elder Ai was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said with relief: "Old lady, don't worry, Li Siming is very strong and will definitely be able to return safely."
"I hope so." The old lady muttered softly.
After confirming the information, Elder Ai left the sacred tree space with the old lady without any hesitation.
Seeing Cui Yingxiong, Elder Ai felt much more relaxed.
"Let's go back."
Cui Yingxiong was a little confused, but he still didn't ask more questions in front of the Li family. After walking out of Li's house, he asked in a low voice: "Elder, have you seen Gu Yuan?"
"Yeah." Elder Ai didn't hide anything.
"Then...you didn't take him away?"
"He was injured and needs a good rest now, so don't disturb him." Elder Ai said with a smile.
Cui Yingxiong was a little surprised.
Since when did Elder Ai become so easy to talk to?
