A little slower.
All in all, the matter finally came to an end after the caravan was escorted out of the Gobi Desert.
However, before leaving, Tiansheng secretly came to him and said mysteriously: "Brother, I want to ask you a question."
Xie Lian said, “Ask.”
Tiansheng said: "You are actually a god, right?"
“…”
Xie Lian was a little shocked.
Because, there was a time when he often shouted to people, "I am a god, I am His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," and no one believed him. This time, he didn't even say a word, but the other party asked him if he was a god, which really shocked him.
Tiansheng immediately said, "I saw you use magic! Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Xie Lian thought, “What can I say? No one will believe me even if I tell them…”
Tiansheng said, "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I would have been kicked into that pit by those dark ghost soldiers. I will go back and build a temple for you."
Seeing him pat his chest and make a "very big" gesture, Xie Lian couldn't help but laugh. He smiled happily and said, "Thank you very much."
Although the child had no idea how big a deal building a temple was, he was still very happy to receive such a promise, regardless of whether it could be realized or not. He waved his hand and walked to the other side.
The south wind blew a thousand miles across, carrying them back to Puqi Monastery. Opening the door, Xie Lian took the mat, spread it on the ground, and lay down on it, like a corpse, the whole movement done in one smooth motion. Sanlang also sat down beside him, chin in his hand, looking at him. Xie Lian sighed and said, "How many days have we been walking?"
Sanlang said, "Generally speaking, it will take about three or four days."
Xie Lian sighed again, "It's only three or four days, why are you so exhausted?"
Ever since his ascension, he has often been as tired as a dog. This is really not an illusion.
After sighing, he looked up and said, "Hey, Nanfeng, why haven't you gone back to report yet?"
Nan Feng asked, "What report?"
Xie Lian asked, “Aren’t you a priest of Nanyang Palace? If you were gone for three or four days, wouldn’t your general look for you?”
Nan Feng said, "My general is not in the palace right now, so he has no business with me."
Xie Lian then climbed up and said, "Okay, it's fine if you stay."
Nan Feng asked, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Lian said with a pleasant expression, "I'll cook you a meal as a reward."
Nanfeng's face changed drastically when he heard this. He raised his hand, put two fingers together, and placed them on the edge of his solar plexus. As if receiving a spiritual message from someone, he stood up and said, "I have something to do in the palace. I'll be leaving first."
Xie Lian raised his hand and said, “Hey, Nanfeng, don’t go. What happened suddenly? I’m so sorry for the trouble you’ve put in this time…”
Nan Feng roared, "Something's really wrong!" Seeing him rush out the door, Xie Lian sat back on the mat and said to San Lang, "It seems he's not hungry."
Before Sanlang could answer, there was a "bang" and Nanfeng rushed back, blocking the door and saying, "You two..."
Xie Lian and San Lang sat side by side on the mat. Xie Lian looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong with us?"
Nanfeng pointed at Sanlang, then at Xie Lian, and after a long pause, he said, "I'll be back."
Xie Lian said, “Welcome, welcome.”
Nanfeng glanced at Sanlang again, closed the door, and left. Xie Lian crossed his arms, tilted his head like Sanlang, and said, "Looks like something's really wrong."
He glanced at the young man beside him again and said with a smile: "He's not hungry, how about you?"
Saburo also smiled and replied, "I'm hungry."
Xie Lian smiled, then stood up again, turned around, and casually tidied the altar. “Alright. So, what would you like to eat, Huacheng?”
Behind him, there was a moment of silence, and then a low laugh was heard.
"I still prefer the name 'Sanlang'."
