C1436 How Awe-inspiring
Zhan Tianming frowned slightly. He felt that Xu Zhang's words were a little unnatural, and there was even a hint of sadness on his face.
"Elder Xu, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Tianming asked.
"Sigh..." Xu Zhang let out a long sigh. The sadness on his face intensified.
As long as one wasn't an idiot, they would be able to tell that something must have happened.
Zhan Tianming didn't ask.
He knew that Xu Zhang would definitely say it himself.
Sure enough, after letting out a few long sighs, Xu Zhang stroked the little girl in his arms with a sorrowful expression. As for the little girl, Xu Xiaoying, she also raised her head to look at her grandfather with an expression as if she wanted to cry. She cried out, "Grandfather, don't be sad. Xiao Ying isn't afraid of death. It's all those bad people. It was them who snatched grandfather's Lightning Tribulation Grass, wuwu..."
As he spoke, Xu Xiaoying couldn't help but wipe away her tears with both hands.
"Yingzi..." Xu Zhang's old tears also flowed out uncontrollably. He hugged the little girl in his arms and felt incomparably remorseful, "It's all grandfather's fault. He was unable to protect the Lightning Tribulation Grass and harmed you..."
Zhan Tianming heard it.
Xu Zhang's Lightning Tribulation Grass was seized by someone.
Waiting for grandfather and grandson. After the two of them had calmed down, Zhan Tianming finally asked about what had happened.
It turned out that after he separated from Xu Zhang and his grandson, they had moved into an inn in the capital city of the Nine Emperors. They were normally fine.
One day ago, they received Zhan Tianming's voice transmission. They knew that Zhan Tianming had found the Purple Tulip Orchid, so they happily took the Ten Thousand Year Tribulation Lightning Grass and set off, rushing over here.
But who would have thought that they would be robbed on the way?
The person who robbed the Ten Thousand Year Tribulation Lightning Grass called himself someone from the Lin Family. He even said that his ancestor was Elder Lin Xuan of the Wind Defying Academy.
"Lin Xuan? Wind Defying Academy?"
As he thought about it, Zhan Tianming felt that it sounded familiar. His finger gently tapped on the table.
Suddenly, he remembered.
Back in the Dragon Roll Champion competition, Wind Defying Academy had framed the Profound Fire Divine Seal in his hands as the Twin Dragon Heaven Suppression Seal that Wind Defying Academy had stolen. And that elder who framed him seemed to be called Lin Xuan.
"An elder of the academy, his son, has fallen to the point of snatching other people's belongings?"
Zhan Tianming felt that this was somewhat unexpected.
Moreover, snatching other people's things, and even deliberately reporting the names of his ancestors, was this a brainwashing? Or was his head in sh * t?
This didn't make sense.
Did he think that after announcing his name, the person who was robbed wouldn't have the guts to find someone to judge him?
Or was it that the Lin Family had always been so overbearing?
"Big brother, what my grandfather said is true. Little Ying can swear." Seemingly seeing Zhan Tianming's disbelieving look, Xu Little Ying explained with a wronged expression.
Zhan Tianming didn't doubt that this grandfather and grandson pair were lying.
After all, the system's mission was already there. He believed that Xu Zhang really had a stalk of Ten Thousand Year Lightning Tribulation Grass on him.
However, was the person who snatched the item really a descendant of the Lin family?
"Little Ying, I have no intention of doubting you and your grandfather. Tell big brother, where were you robbed from?" Zhan Tianming consoled her.
"It was at Qilin mound." Xu Xiaoying pointed into the distance.
Xu Zhang hurriedly explained to Zhan Tianming where the Qilin mound was.
"Alright, I understand."
Zhan Tianming stood up and took out the Purple Tulip Orchid he had picked and placed it on the table.
At this moment, the Purple Tulip Orchid had already been placed in a long jade box by Zhan Tianming to protect the spirit energy within.
He looked at Xu Zhang's granddaughter and granddaughter.
"This Purple Tulip Orchid is yours. As for the Ten Thousand Year Tribulation Lightning Grass that was stolen, it's mine."
Upon hearing this, the grandfather and grandson duo looked at Zhan Tianming with stunned expressions.
"Little brother, this is absolutely not to be used. We were unable to hand the Ten Thousand Year Lightning Tribulation Grass to you. How dare you take your Purple Tulip Orchid?" Xu Zhang wanted to push it away, but when he thought of the strange illness that the little girl beside him had... He couldn't bear to push it away.
However, since the Ten Thousand Year Lightning Tribulation Grass hadn't been handed over to Zhan Tianming, he absolutely couldn't accept this spirit orchid.
"Big brother, Xiao Ying also really wants it, but grandpa taught me that I can't take other people's things for free. We..."
Xu Xiao Ying lowered his head, his hands pulling at the corner of his clothes.
Zhan Tianming couldn't help but smile when he saw the little girl.
This grandfather and grandson pair were honest people.
Just as Zhan Tianming was thinking about this, Xu Xiaoying mustered up her courage and looked up at Zhan Tianming. She said, "Big brother, Xiaoying doesn't want your Purple Tulip Orchid. You can take it back."
Zhan Tianming shook his head and patted Xu Xiaoying's head. He said with a smile, "Little Ying, you still have a long future. This Purple Tulip Orchid is something that can save your life. Keep it well. As for the Ten Thousand Year Tribulation Lightning Grass that was stolen... Big brother will naturally go and find those people to take it back. So... Little Ying and Grandpa don't owe Big Brother anything. Do you understand? "
Xu Xiao Ying looked at Zhan Tianming as if he didn't understand what Zhan Tianming meant.
Xu Zhang, who was standing beside ___, had a grateful expression on his face. With a puff, he fell to his knees.
He pulled Xu Xiaoying over.
"Yingzi, kneel down and kowtow to benefactor."
Xu Xiaoying was very obedient. She obediently knelt down and kowtowed, but when the grandfather and grandson raised their heads, Zhan Tianming's figure had already disappeared.
Only the jade box that contained the Purple Tulip Orchid was placed on the table.
At this time, a voice drifted into Xu Zhang's ears.
"The Purple Tulip Orchid is poisonous, be careful when using it."
"Thank you, benefactor!"
Tears of gratitude flowed down Xu Zhang's face.
Sou!
At this moment, a silver ingot flew over from afar and landed on the tea table.
Zhan Tianming only remembered that he hadn't paid for the tea after he had walked far away.
In the blink of an eye, Zhan Tianming had arrived at Qilin Hill.
His Soul Force had already spread out and covered an area of a few million miles.
With the strength of his Soul Force, a few million miles was just a child's play. Even if it was ten times bigger, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Soon, a few silhouettes fell into Zhan Tianming's senses.
"Hmph! You dare to stay in the vicinity after snatching my things?"
With a mocking smile, Zhan Tianming's figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.
On the other side.
A young man dressed in fine clothes, surrounded by a few servants, was casually walking in a small town. From time to time, he would tease the girls passing by, scaring them into hiding far away.
"Hahaha... Today is really a lucky day, I finally got a good treasure." The young man laughed happily.
"Young master, that old thing is only a Three Star Martial Emperor. His strength is so low, yet he still dares to refuse to hand over the item. If it wasn't for young master's magnanimity, I would have broken one of his legs." A servant with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheeks flattered him from behind. He even had a smug look on his face.
At this moment, a tall and straight figure suddenly blocked their path, followed by a slightly angry voice.
"Hmph! What a mighty presence!"
