"Qiya, what did Gun-ge say?"
Seeing Lin Qiye walking out of the forest, Cao Yuan and others immediately asked.
Hearing Cao Yuan's voice, Lin Qiye came back to his senses from Li Kengqiang's words, his eyes full of complexity.
"We are...under house arrest."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned. Cao Yuan thought he had misheard. "House arrest? Us?!"
Lin Qiye slowly repeated Li Kengqiang's words, and Cao Yuan's brows furrowed more and more.
"So, sending us to this island for training is just a cover. Commander Zuo wants to put us under house arrest here?" Cao Yuan asked in confusion, "Why? What did we do wrong?"
"..." Lin Qiye shook his head, "I don't know either."
"It's not that we did something wrong, but there must be other reasons." An Qingyu said thoughtfully, "If it's because we made some mistakes, wouldn't it be better to punish us directly? There's no need to trick us here in such a roundabout way. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to lock us up in the fasting center?"
"Why on earth is that?"
"Brother Qiang also said just now that this is a kind of protection... It's good for us and Da Xia."
"Putting us under house arrest is good for Daxia? What kind of logic is this?" Cao Yuan shook his head repeatedly, "Will it be bad for Daxia if we go out?"
"Commander Zuo wouldn't put us under house arrest for no reason. Maybe there is a deeper reason." An Qingyu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any reason. After a long sigh, he turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Qiye, what should we do?"
Lin Qiye looked towards the forest and fell silent.
Pretend nothing happened, or carry out the so-called "training" on this island as usual?
No, it's impossible.
We still don't know what the situation is outside. Maybe Da Xia has already fallen into some kind of crisis. It is impossible for them to stay here as heartlessly as before.
Then... break out by force?
But this island is guarded by four commanders-in-chief at the ceiling level of mankind, and a nearly invincible champion marquis. It can be said to be the most heavily defended place in Daxia. Not to mention that they are just a special team, even if the main god comes, don't even think of taking a single step out of here!
Bringing them here and placing them under house arrest was also the idea of Zuo Qing, the supreme commander of the Night Watch of Daxia. Forcing their way out would undoubtedly be a provocation to the commander-in-chief.
At the same time, Li Kengqiang's words just now reappeared in his ears:
"...If you don't want to break through that 'heart barrier' through extreme pain and sorrow, if you really care about this team...you shouldn't try to leave this island!"
What does this sentence mean?
As long as we leave this island, there is a high probability that something bad will happen, and this will also have an impact on Daxia?
Too many things were mixed together, and Lin Qiye felt his mind was in a mess. He looked at the coastline in front of him that was gradually disappearing into the darkness, and suddenly felt a long-lost panic.
Panic comes from the unknown.
He didn't know what was happening outside, why they were here, or what would happen if they left. It seemed as if the whole world was hiding something from them, and this concealment made him feel abandoned and lonely.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Qiye opened his mouth and said in a heavy voice:
"I don't know... let me think about it."
Lin Qiye left the campfire and walked straight towards the dim coastline. His shadow was swallowed by the sea. He was like a lonely sculpture, sitting on the shore, lost in thought...
As the top echelon team in Da Xia, they were inexplicably brought here and placed under house arrest... As the captain of [Nightfall], Lin Qiye faces far more pressure than anyone else.
Cao Yuan and the others looked at each other and did not disturb him, but dispersed silently.
…
late at night.
The cold bright moon hung over the island. Baili Pangpang sat alone on a rock, looking at the lonely and thoughtful figure on the distant coastline and sighed.
Light golden dots of light gathered behind him, quickly forming a gentle woman in a palace dress. She walked out of nothingness and saluted respectfully towards Baili Pangpang's back:
"Gong Yangwan, the second generation chief of the Evil Suppression Division, greets Lingbao Tianzun."
Baili Pangpang tilted his head slightly, glanced at her, and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"With our eyesight, we really couldn't see through your true identity... If that Heavenly Lord hadn't come in person, we would probably still be in the dark." Gong Yangwan smiled helplessly, "The Marquis has to personally guard the fate of the country and cannot come in person, so I ask this concubine to say hello to you...
In addition, I want to apologize to you on behalf of Li Kengqiang. He didn't know your true identity and kept you in the pot for more than ten days... Now he has no face to see you."
"It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart." Baili Pangpang waved his hand casually, "This is my reincarnation, and it has nothing to do with Lingbao Tianzun. It's normal that you can't see it. Before my true self's reincarnation reaches perfection, I will be Baili Pangpang of the Nightfall team."
Gong Yangwan hesitated for a moment, but still asked doubtfully: "May I ask the Heavenly Venerable...when will your reincarnation be complete?"
Baili Pangpang glanced at her and said, "What? Are you guys anxious too?"
"...I just feel that it would be a bit difficult for Daxia to rely on only two Heavenly Lords now."
Baili Pangpang stared at her for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know when it will be complete...but it should be soon."
"When the reincarnation cycle is complete, will you be the Lingbao Tianzun of your previous life... or the Baili Pangpang of this life?"
Baili Pangpang was silent for a long time.
"Since the reincarnation of my true self is complete, the mission of this reincarnated body has been accomplished... After the Dao Fruit returns, reincarnation will become a dream bubble, and there will naturally be only one Lingbao Tianzun in the world."
Gong Yangwan nodded, "Thank you, Tianzun, for clearing up my doubts."
Seeing Gong Yangwan's reaction, a hint of loneliness flashed across Baili Pangpang's eyes.
"What do you think about this incident?"
"You mean house arrest?"
"Um."
"..." Fatty Baili sighed, "I... don't know either.
If I were still the heartless Baili Pangpang, I would definitely scold you guys right now, but I know the reason behind all this...
If possible, I actually hope they can stay here forever, at least everyone can be safe. Daxia needs Lingbao Tianzun, and I will leave alone.
But, they are [Nightfall]. "
Fatty Baili smiled bitterly and shook his head, "【Nightfall】, how could it be possible for it to stay here so easily... The moment a dragon is kept in a cage, it is no longer a dragon."
Hearing this, Gong Yangwan's expression became a little complicated. After hesitating for a moment, she continued:
"My Lord, I have one last question."
"ask."
"You were willing to give up your Tao fruit and memory reincarnation to seek the way to save the world... now, have you found it?" Gong Yangwan's eyes flickered slightly.
Baili Pangpang's eyes swept over Lin Qiye and others below, with a complicated expression:
"Maybe..."
Hearing this answer, Gong Yangwan breathed a sigh of relief. She bowed respectfully to Baili Pangpang again and said, "I'll take my leave."
As Gong Yangwan's figure gradually disappeared into the air, only Baili Pangpang was left alone on the empty rock.
He glanced at the cold moonlight above his head, sighed, and murmured in a voice that only he could hear:
"You all hope that Lingbao Tianzun will return as soon as possible...but who cares about Baili Pangpang's thoughts?"
