Chapter 87: No worries, it's just the Moon Demon God coming to pick up his daughter~

"In a while, Senior Brother will have to give you some extra lessons." Ye Ling ruffled Long Lingxi's soft black hair and laughed heartily.

Ever since Bai Yue completely "accepted" Long Xingyu, Long Lingxi began to receive guidance from her father, Long Xingyu; he was both father and teacher.

Under such circumstances, as the eldest disciple under Long Xingyu, it was only natural for this little sister to call Ye Ling Senior Brother.

Long Lingxi huffily swatted Ye Ling's hand away, her small face puffed up in anger, though a hint of adorable shyness was vaguely visible, and she said: "Senior Brother, were you taught by Sister Li Xin and my father for so long that you now want to see what it feels like to teach someone else?"

Hearing this, Ye Ling laughed out loud.

He did not answer, but instead looked ahead.

Because he could see Chen Hongyu and Long Xingyu walking over together.

On Chen Hongyu's usually stern face, a trace of joy appeared; it was clear this old man had just obtained quite a few good things!

"Not bad, not bad. Many thanks to Senior Canghai. Our Soul Temple has been trying to restore this portion of the classics for hundreds of years without being able to make any progress. It is all thanks to your intervention, Senior."

"Easy, easy. You can just count the credit for this part to Ye Ling; this old man doesn't need it."

"That can be done, that can be done. That is only natural."

From far away, one could hear this hundred-plus-year-old man and this many-tens-of-thousands-year-old man laughing heartily there.

Clearly, the harvest was extremely high.

And soon, the two of them walked up to Ye Ling.

Long Xingyu looked toward the location of the small wooden house and asked: "Resolved?"

"It should be considered resolved. After we go back, you can look for the Moon Demon God and see what price his daughter is willing to pay." Ye Ling smiled faintly.

This behavior was indeed that of a bandit, but when facing an enemy, what did it matter to be a bit of a bandit?

Long Xingyu nodded calmly.

He felt he was increasingly becoming a mastermind, with all the dirty and tiring work left to him.

It was just that it was inexplicably fitting for him. Meanwhile, Chen Hongyu held the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove and handed it to Ye Ling with both hands, instantly causing the Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove to merge into Ye Ling's body, and he said: "Haha, many thanks, Ye Ling. If not for you reviving Senior Canghai, some of the Soul Temple's classics would likely never have seen the light of day again!"

"Grandpa Chen is so excited; it seems you've restored quite a few powerful classics. I congratulate you first." Ye Ling laughed, not taking the credit.

"More than just powerful; we restored at least three forbidden-curse level skills, as well as several classics regarding the Soul Saintess."

"Although Senior Canghai didn't remember any skills, he has a deep understanding of the characters from these countless years past, and he simply transformed them into everything most suitable for the present."

Chen Hongyu was very excited. Now, what he longed for most was to return to Wanshou Pass to use these new spells and summon those giant beasts back! Comfortable! Comfortable! Comfortable!

On the side, Bai Yue and Li Xin walked over slowly, though both women were carrying luggage, as if they had been prepared for something.

Yes, what needed to be done in Haoyue City had already been done, and since Long Lingxi had also recognized her ancestors with Long Xingyu, how could he continue to let his child stay here?

And since the resources at Yulong Pass were even better, they would naturally go back to cultivate better.

Only, Nalan Shu, who was behind the two, was very helpless: "Xin'er, are you sure you want to go too?"

He was quite helpless; after all, he treated Li Xin like his own daughter, and now that she was leaving, Nalan Shu naturally wanted to persuade her to stay.

"It's fine, Uncle Nalan. We are going over to further our studies, and when the time comes, we will participate in the Demon Hunt Squad Competition in the name of the Haoyue Branch Hall and add a heavy contribution for you." Li Xin giggled, very happy.

"You girl, I'm already at this age; adding merit doesn't do much for me anymore." Nalan Shu was speechless, but he also waved the chicken leg in his hand: "Forget it, you've always wanted to go to Yulong Pass, I shouldn't restrict you.

What about your dad? What does he say?"

"What could he say? When he found out I was going to join my younger brother and Star Universe Hall Master, he agreed immediately, and even... even actually!!!" When Li Xin said this, she was so angry her teeth itched.

Her own father, that unreliable man, even told her she might as well just give herself to Ye Ling, have a child early, or else what would she do if she couldn't get married later! No, his daughter was at least a beauty of national renown!!! A beauty who could sink fish and drop geese, heroic and spirited, although she did indeed have those thoughts about little brother Ye Ling!! But his current age... sigh. Li Xin had nothing to say. After answering Nalan Shu a few more simple words, Nalan Shu left to handle the aftermath.

Long Xingyu also summoned the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, intending to take them away.

Chen Hongyu didn't have any particular thoughts, but Chen Ying'er looked at Ye Ling with some reluctance and actually grabbed Ye Ling the first chance she got, right in front of everyone.

Everyone immediately turned to look at Chen Ying'er, intending to see what this girl was going to do.

She saw her pretty face flush slightly and said: "How about you take me to Yulong Pass again?"

"In the past half year, Yulong Pass has been preparing for war, and I haven't really played around much. Shall we try it this time?"

She didn't even believe this reason herself... However, the others didn't speak. Only Ye Ling reached out, rubbed Chen Ying'er's head gently, and said: "Wait for next time."

"If I remember correctly, Hall Master Chen told me about the state of your Chaos Body before; it seems something is not quite right, right?"

"The biggest reason he would ask Senior Canghai to restore ancient books should be because of you."

Seeing Ye Ling look through her like a detective and understand her true intentions, Chen Ying'er's pretty face turned completely red: "I... I... I..."

But Ye Ling did not continue to press, instead saying gently: "Ying Er, go back and cultivate."

"Next time, I will take you to have a good time around Yulong Pass."

"Didn't you say you wanted to protect me? Perhaps after you finish cultivating that set of ancient books, you will be able to break through the biggest side effect of only being able to use the Gate of Life before the Seventh Rank of the Soul Saintess, and even be able to perform targeted summoning of Magic Beasts..."

"Then, at that time, you will indeed be able to protect me."

Hearing this, Chen Ying'er's eyes lit up: "Then... can you call me Big Sister at that time?"

Ye Ling: "???"

What kind of resentment is this?

"When you can defeat Sister Xin'er head-on, you can," Ye Ling said flatly.

Li Xin: "???"

Chen Ying'er was full of joy; she was still very easy to satisfy. She immediately called her grandfather Chen Hongyu to take her back to cultivate... And Ye Ling's group naturally stepped onto the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter and began the return journey to Yulong Pass. For them, this trip was extremely satisfying.

Except for Li Xin, who looked at Ye Ling with a resentful expression, which made him feel like he had needles pricking his back the whole time. Three days later.

Inside Yulong Pass.

There was no grand welcome. Just on an open space in the main hall of the Temple, Long Tianyin sat alone, and a golden light slowly descended from the sky. Even as the Knight Temple Hall Master, Long Tianyin stood up with some excitement at this moment.

And Ye Ling's group naturally landed.

"Father..." Long Xingyu looked at Long Tianyin, who had come out to welcome them personally, and a look of happiness appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Although their father-son relationship was at odds.

But as a Divine Seal Knight, Long Xingyu had also looked up to his father, Long Tianyin, as a hero since he was a child.

Perhaps there were grudges, but everything now could surely set aside past grievances. Thinking this, Long Xingyu walked forward happily, intending to say something to Long Tianyin, but he did not expect that Long Tianyin ignored him entirely, instead walking straight past his own biological son and directly behind him.

Instead, he pulled his good grand-disciple Ye Ling over and laughed, "Not bad, not bad, this time you really are the greatest contributor."

"Hahaha, capturing the Demon Princess in the battle at Exorcist Pass, utilizing the power of the Moon Demon God in the battle at Haoyue City, and then actually being able to revive that senior Wisdom Spiritual Stove and form a contract, supplementing countless records of the Soul Temple, hahaha, you really are a lucky star!"

Long Tianyin did not care at all about Long Xingyu's hand that was left hanging in the air, but instead looked at his disciple with great joy, his eyes filled with heartfelt delight.

This is amazing! Who said this Ye Ling wouldn't make it? This Ye Ling is too amazing! This really is a lucky star!

Child of Light!

The lucky star of their Knight Temple! It really is just too amazing!

Afterwards, he suddenly shouted: "Ye Ling, I have already approved it in advance. As one of the Knight Temple Hall Master Candidates, you are now permitted to enter the Illusion Cave to cultivate!"

"Illusion Cave?" Hearing this, the one with the biggest reaction was not Ye Ling, but Long Xingyu. He felt both resentful and proud of his old man's attitude, but after hearing these words, he reacted immediately: "Illusion Cave, are you sure?"

"Mm, I am very sure. There is still a long time until the next Demon Hunt Squad Competition, and it is impossible to let him waste this period."

"He will definitely be balancing missions with steady cultivation. I have also formulated a cultivation plan for Ye Ling during this time; although it still needs refinement, the Illusion Cave is the first step of the foundation."

Having said that, Long Tianyin added: "And the requirement I have set for now—Ye Ling should be at the Third Rank, right? Then he should thoroughly cultivate and perfect some Third Rank skills."

"Ahem, Grand-master." Ye Ling feigned a cough and said, "Actually, I have already reached the Fourth Rank; I just broke through these past two days."

Long Tianyin: "."

What is going on with his grand-disciple? When he left, he was only at the initial stage of the Third Rank; how did he suddenly step into the Fourth Rank? What kind of joke is this!?

Long Tianyin was truly stunned. Everything he had arranged before was now largely unusable. After all, using Third Rank materials to test someone at the Fourth Rank would be like handing them a free meal. However, Long Tianyin was a Divine Seal Knight after all, so he quickly calmed down, swallowed, and continued: "That's fine, the Illusion Cave is equally suitable for cultivation!"

"If it really doesn't work, he can just stay for a longer period to learn all the skills belonging to the Fourth Rank, and continue when he reaches the Fifth Rank!"

Long Tianyin said decisively. Having said this, he even got excited and looked directly at Long Xingyu's position, shouting: "Xingyu, you go in with him and teach."

"You haven't stayed at Yulong Pass much for the past ten years; it makes no difference whether you are there to guard the city or not. You just focus on teaching my grand-disciple well."

Long Xingyu: "."

Just as the few were talking, Bai Yue pulled Long Lingxi and slowly walked forward, bowing to Long Tianyin: "Father-in-law, I have returned."

Hearing this, Long Tianyin froze on the spot, his eyes widening slightly as he looked at Bai Yue's position in surprise. After a moment, he reacted: "Xiao Yue?"

After a long while, he vaguely recognized her: "Is it really you?"

"Where have you been these ten years?"

Long Tianyin naturally recognized this daughter-in-law of his.

"Because of everything that happened, I took Lingxi to live in Odin Town. This time, Xingyu went over to bring us back," Bai Yue explained.

"This guy, no wonder he was always going out for no reason. So he had arranged for his wife and child to be elsewhere and didn't even tell me," Long Tianyin muttered, then naturally reacted: "Lingxi? Wait? Who is Lingxi?"

Bai Yue called Long Lingxi over and said: "Call him Grandfather."

Although Long Lingxi was still confused, she obediently called out: "Grandfather."

Long Tianyin was stunned. He glanced at Long Xingyu, and after receiving his confirming gaze, he finally reacted, staring at Long Lingxi with a dazed expression.

"My? Granddaughter?" He couldn't help but shed tears of old age. He? Did their Long Family have descendants? His few family members? One had returned, and she had even brought another one back? Mm, a family reunion. At least these four people were all very joyful, embracing and weeping.

The outsider on the side felt a bit out of place. Li Xin watched all this in surprise, following by Ye Ling's side: "I didn't expect that this legendary Knight would actually have such a side."

Long Tianyin's prestige in the Knight Temple was even greater than Yang Haohan's, and all Knights knew him, but Li Xin did not expect that she would be able to witness this scene.

"That bit of arrogance is on the surface, but even a Divine Seal Knight is similar to an ordinary person in private; they have emotions and needs," Ye Ling explained.

"That's true." Li Xin nodded, then unexpectedly wrapped her arm around Ye Ling: "But I didn't expect that you, little brother, were so terrifying."

"Without a sound, you became one of the Knight Temple Hall Master successors."

"If I remember correctly, to accomplish this, you have to bring great merit to the Temple, reach the Seventh Rank before thirty, and reach the Eighth Rank before forty..."

Ye Ling laughed: "Cultivation level is not the key; the key is merit, character, and future potential."

Li Xin nodded. Her little brother might be hard to judge in other areas, but these three things were indeed his strongest points.

Just as the two were talking, the entire Yulong Pass suddenly erupted with a booming sound. The city wall let out a mournful cry, and all the soldiers of Yulong Pass felt immense pressure, trembling from the bottom of their hearts.

It was still daytime, but the moon in the sky was incomparably pure at this moment, surrounded by purple light, forming a staircase. A man with a beautiful face walked down from it, his steps extremely steady, yet carrying a majestic, incomparably profound aura.

"This? Could it be that powerhouse of the Demon Race?"

"In the past, I was unable to face that one head-on, so I am not clear on the specifics, but just based on this current aura, I am afraid it is not inferior to me at my peak!"

The Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove commented, its voice full of wariness.

"Moon Demon God?"

"He hasn't appeared on the battlefield for several hundred years. Why would he personally come to Yulong Pass this time?" Long Tianyin walked out of his previous joy, looking at the sky in confusion.

This sudden turn of events left him somewhat bewildered.

Ye Ling and Long Xingyu exchanged a look to confirm the situation, and Ye Ling said: "Grand-master, it's fine, it's just the Moon Demon God Agares coming to pick up his daughter..."
