Chapter 2297 The reason for staying
"No."
Ling Tian smiled slightly, shook his head, and a fairly kind smile appeared on his face.
Hearing his words, Qi Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, nodded, and said, "That's good, that's good. Thank you, Mr. Ling. I was really worried that you would hurt them."
Hearing the genuine concern in Qi Xiuyan's words, Ling Tian smiled and said, "Miss Qi, why did you become friends with them?"
Hearing this, Qi Xiuyan sighed and said, "In the past, when my father didn't want to accompany me, I would go to them. There was a young lady among them who would always chat with me, and we became friends. Mr. Ling, my father often told me that monsters are bad, but why can't I feel the same way?"
"Tell me, if I'm willing to continue being friends with them, does that make me an enemy of humanity? After all, I sincerely believe that these monsters are truly amazing!"
Qi Xiuyan spoke so seriously that Ling Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Ling Tian looked at Qi Xiuyan for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, Miss Qi, just keep doing it. But it's best not to tell anyone about this, or that there's a sister among the monsters, okay?"
"Well! I definitely won't tell!"
Seeing Qi Xiuyan agreed, Ling Tian nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave first. I don't know when we will meet again. Anyway, I hope Miss Qi can protect herself and it's best not to get too close to your father."
"I……"
"I know what you're going to say." Ling Tian interrupted directly: "But my answer remains the same as before. I can't take you away, so... Goodbye, Miss Qi, see you again if we're lucky."
After saying this, Ling Tian stopped pestering her and turned around to walk to the gate leading out of the wealthy area.
Seeing the two guards standing at the door, Ling Tian walked over and asked, "Did the city lord tell you that from today onwards, I can enter and leave the wealthy area as I please?"
Hearing this, the two guards looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Um, your name is..."
"Ling Tian."
"Oh, yes, the mayor mentioned this. You will be a resident of the wealthy area from now on."
Hearing that the city lord kept his word, Ling Tian nodded and left the wealthy area.
When I got home, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Because he couldn't go out after eight o'clock, Ling Tian didn't choose to look for Mr. Han and the others.
At this moment, Lin Qi was sitting on the sofa in the house. Seeing Ling Tian come back, he quickly stood up and said, "Brother, what's going on? Have you finished talking with the City Lord...?!"
"Yeah." Ling Tian nodded: "I have also found the exit. I can leave at any time. I just don't know where is outside this passage for the time being."
"Then let's go!"
Hearing that they could leave, Lin Qi quickly stood up and said, "Brother, didn't we come to Juncheng just to find a way to leave? Now that we've found it, why are we still staying here? Just leave!"
Lin Qi said this with an excited expression and his eyes full of anticipation.
Are you kidding? He wanted to leave with Ling Tian from the very beginning.
When they were in the county town, they didn't find the passage, so Lin Qi decided to continue following Ling Tian.
After that, when he arrived in Juncheng and encountered so many troubles, he never thought of giving up.
Now that we know the location of the passage and how to leave, why not leave?
So Lin Qi looked at Ling Tian and said seriously, "Brother, just tell me, how should we go?"
"We can't leave." Ling Tian shook his head.
Lin Qi was stunned at first, then he smiled awkwardly and said, "Haha, big brother, you really know how to joke. Why don't we leave? Don't you just want to leave Juncheng?"
"I do want to leave Juncheng, but not now. I've discovered some problems, so I want to figure things out before leaving."
"what?!"
Lin Qi opened his mouth wide and stared at Ling Tian blankly, unable to react for a moment.
What the hell? !
Figure it out before leaving?
Find out...what?!
Just when Lin Qi was confused, Ling Tian briefly recounted his conversation with the celestial beast.
After hearing this, Lin Qi stood up suddenly, his breathing becoming much heavier as he said, "Brother! Are you saying that these high-level monsters are just juveniles, and...the ones we faced before were all the weakest high-level monsters?!"
Ling Tian nodded. "That's right. Furthermore, I've always suspected that when we crossed the Holy Mountain this time, we might have arrived at a different time. That's why I said I wanted to investigate."
"Then, big brother, do you think that those who created Juncheng were the people from Shengshan Village?"
"No." Ling Tian shook his head: "I think it's very likely that he is Miaomiao's father."
"what?!"
Lin Qi couldn't hold it in any longer. He quickly stood up and leaned against the wall, his face full of surprise.
He had calculated everything, but he had never expected that the person who founded Juncheng would actually be Miaomiao's father?!
The village chief from before?!
Can't? !
The village chief's realm was so low at that time. According to what Ling Tian said, the realm of that celestial beast was at least that of a master at the Unity Realm.
But wasn’t the village chief at that time in the middle stage of the Heaven-Shaking Realm?
With such a huge gap in realm, how could it be him?!
At this moment, countless questions and puzzles appeared in Lin Qi's mind, making him feel that his brain was not enough.
Especially what Ling Tian said, that they might be in Juncheng hundreds of years later, this statement is really hard to understand!
Lin Qi stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After Ling Tian briefly explained his guess, he looked at Lin Qi and said, "Lin Qi, you need to prepare during this period. I want to help those monsters and take down the wealthy area. Then we can leave."
"Help the monster?" Lin Qi said blankly: "Brother, I feel like my brain is not enough now. I don't know what to say..."
"Okay, don't think too much. We must leave Juncheng, just a few days later. I want to know what the secret of Juncheng is. I also want to find out whether we are in the same time and space or in another time and space."
Hearing this, Lin Qi asked in confusion: "Brother, why do you have to figure this out?"
"Well, let me put it simply. If we are really in another time and space, then think about it. When we left Juncheng, time did not change. What would we do if we appeared in another city hundreds of years later?"
"Ah?!" Lin Qi was immediately surprised: "So Big Brother is afraid of this?!"
"Well, because I have an appointment with someone and we must meet in Central City, so... I can't let Ren Ran show up outside. So, Lin Qi, we... must resolve this before we can leave!"
"yes, Sir!"
