Xiao Lin's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural. Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, he suddenly realized that Qin Feng and Liu Ruyan were now in an adversarial relationship.
Of course he didn't want to see his father and mother fighting!
But how can we prevent this from happening?
Xiao Lin took a deep breath, looked at Qin Feng with a determined gaze, and asked, "Uncle, do you really have to go to war with the Soul Devouring Clan? Are there any other solutions?"
Qin Feng smiled slightly. "That's not necessarily true. If those extraterrestrial demons are willing to surrender voluntarily and explain their true purpose of lurking in the Outer Heavens, perhaps we can avoid war."
"But I think that possibility is extremely slim, so let's prepare for battle!"
"Xiao Lin, listen to me. Go home right now and tell your mother to leave immediately and not get involved in this war. It's the safest option right now."
Xiao Lin frowned, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, his mind in turmoil. Was revealing his true identity the only way to stop this war?
Just as Xiao Lin was about to reunite with Qin Feng, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed beside him.
When Xiao Lin saw the visitor, he was first taken aback, then exclaimed with delight, "Uncle Jiu, what brings you here?"
Jiuli affectionately stroked Xiaolin's head and smiled, "I was a little worried about you, so I came along!"
Then, Jiuli looked at Qin Feng, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You are Qin Feng?"
Back in the Heavenly Realm, he had heard of Qin Feng's name far and wide. Later, while serving by Liu Ruyan's side, he gained an even deeper understanding of Qin Feng.
He never expected that Qin Feng would actually come to the Outer Heavens, and judging from the aura emanating from him, his strength was absolutely unfathomable, far surpassing his own.
Qin Feng sized up Jiu Li, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked in confusion, "You know me?"
Jiuli nodded slightly and replied, "Of course I know you!"
"Qin Feng, you'd better watch yourself!"
"I'm taking Xiao Lin with me now, goodbye forever!"
After saying that, Jiuli picked up Xiaolin and, without giving Xiaolin a chance to speak, transformed into a streak of light and fled.
Xiao Lin watched Qin Feng grow ever more distant, her face filled with reluctance and helplessness, but she could only leave with Jiu Li.
Qin Feng frowned slightly, looking in the direction Jiu Li had left with a puzzled expression, muttering to himself, "He told me to take care of myself? What does that mean?"
Feng Li, who was standing to the side, looked at Qin Feng thoughtfully and whispered, "That guy seems to be hostile towards you. Do you have some kind of grudge between you?"
Qin Feng remained silent for a moment, then shook his head, indicating he had absolutely no clue. "I have absolutely no recollection of it!"
However, when he remembered that the Jiuli were a divine race, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.
"Right, this guy is a god, and Xiao Lin even calls him Uncle Nine... Could he be Jiu Li?" Qin Feng muttered to himself.
Then, he thought of Xiao Lin as actually Qin Lin, and Ling Xi as possibly Liu Ruyan, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.
Qin Feng's expression shifted between light and dark as he inwardly marveled at how coincidental everything had happened.
Xiao Lin, Uncle Jiu; Qin Lin, Jiu Li;
They all have the same character!
So, is Lingxi really Liu Ruyan?
The thought that Xiao Lin and he shared a resemblance made him even more convinced that his guess might be correct.
Qin Feng took a deep breath, turned to look at Feng Li and the other two women, and said firmly, "I am going to the Xuanling Mountains again. You all return to the great formation as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he flashed and quickly disappeared from the spot.
...
Qin Feng moved with lightning speed, arriving outside the super formation of the Xuanling Mountains in the blink of an eye.
At that very moment, Jiuli was carrying Xiaolin as he rushed into the super formation.
Qin Feng's expression was uncertain. After a moment of silence, he finally gave up the idea of breaking into the super formation.
After all, the super formation not only contains more than 600 Hongmeng Saint Emperors, but also tens of thousands of Ancestral Emperor Realm experts.
If he rushes in rashly, they probably won't give Qin Feng another chance to escape.
Qin Feng took a deep breath and shouted at the super array, "Spirit Devouring Clan Holy Maiden, Lingxi, could you come out and talk?"
Although Qin Feng's voice wasn't loud, it clearly resonated throughout every corner of the super array.
Hearing Qin Feng's call, Liu Ruyan came out of a small wooden house.
She was still dressed in black, her face veiled, revealing only a pair of bright, large eyes.
Just then, Jiuli descended from the sky carrying Xiaolin and landed steadily in front of Liu Ruyan.
"I've brought Xiao Lin back. The decision of what to do next is up to you!"
Jiuli put Xiao Lin down, looked at Liu Ruyan with a complicated expression, and said, "Xiao Lin just met Qin Feng!"
"His coming to see you now must mean he has become suspicious of you..."
Having said that, Jiuli said no more and transformed into a streak of light and departed.
Liu Ruyan gazed in the direction Jiu Li had left, then turned her gaze to Xiao Lin before her, asking in a serious tone, "Have you reunited with that guy?"
Xiao Lin shook her head in denial. "Not yet! I was just about to acknowledge him when Uncle Jiu forcibly brought me back!"
Liu Ruyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they hadn't recognized each other yet. This way, she could deny it when facing Qin Feng later.
After all, this was just Qin Feng's guess, and there was no solid evidence!
Then, Liu Ruyan looked at Xiao Lin earnestly, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and determination.
She gently stroked Xiaolin's hair and said softly, "Son, you've grown up now. You should understand that there are some things that even your mother can't control!"
Her gaze deepened and became distant, as if recalling past events. Then, she sighed and continued, "Some things are simply unchangeable, no matter how hard we try, it's all in vain."
Her voice carried a hint of sadness, as if she were confiding her deepest pain to Xiao Lin.
Then, her tone suddenly became serious: "Our Soul Devouring Clan has been preparing this plan for countless years. As the Holy Maiden, I bear a great responsibility and mission. It is impossible for me to abandon the plan for the sake of some personal feelings!"
At this point, a resolute glint flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. However, her tone suddenly shifted, and she said through gritted teeth, "Besides, your father is no good at all!"
Her voice was filled with anger and resentment, as if she harbored a deep hatred for that man.
Then, she clenched her fist and said excitedly, "He's a complete scumbag. He abandoned us, mother and son, without hesitation for a vixen!"
After saying all this, Liu Ruyan's emotions calmed down a little, but a hint of bitterness remained. Finally, she bit her lip and said resolutely, "Therefore, he doesn't deserve to be your father!"
Xiao Lin blinked, looking at his mother speechlessly. After a moment of silence, he retorted softly, "That's not what you told me back then!"
His eyes showed confusion and disappointment, as if he was surprised by his mother's words.
Then, he frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "You're telling me that my dad is a superhero who chose to sacrifice himself to protect the entire human world!"
His words revealed his reverence and longing for his father, which was completely contrary to what his mother had just said.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's heart was filled with contradictions and doubts, and he didn't know whose words to believe.
