"Well, it's not particularly far. I could carry it for seven days and seven nights and still get to southern Xinjiang."
Lina patted her chest and said.
Xu Lingyin happily climbed onto her, her little bottom sitting on her face.
Lina slapped her away with a "smack," like swatting a fly.
"Didn't we say we'd leave tomorrow? We're leaving tomorrow, Suzune, you're always so silly."
Xu Erlang coughed, revealing his true intentions, and said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you leave me any food?"
Lina quickly shifted the blame: "It was Lingyin who said that Erlang and his brother wouldn't be hungry."
Xu Lingyin opened her big eyes and nodded seriously: "Erguo won't be hungry."
Lina said, "Then there's nothing we can do."
...Xu Erlang was speechless and stormed off.
He just pried open his sister and Lina's heads to see what they usually think about.
Why is it that someone blinded by greed can speak so naturally and so seriously?
At that moment, he saw a person walk in through the arched gate.
Lei Gongzui, with his ugly appearance, was none other than Sun Xuanji's follower, the ape protector brought back from the Southern Frontier.
Xu Xinnian's mind lit up; he had an idea.
Chapter 430 The Ape Protector Sees Through Emperor Lingyin! Yunzhou Wins Over the Gu Clan!
"Guardian Ape, I, this official, grant you a New Year."
Xu Erlang came forward and bowed.
When the white ape protector entered the local customs, he returned the greeting with a less-than-perfect bow.
"Meet Mr. Xu."
Xu Erlang hurriedly asked, "His Majesty the Heavenly King is my brother-in-law, and Xu Qi'an is my elder brother. Protector Yuan, could you tell me about their situation in the Southern Frontier?"
Upon hearing this, Protector Yuan's eyes lit up, and his attitude underwent a complete change.
"Lord Xu, you are too kind. This Protector will answer all your questions without reservation."
The two stood in the courtyard and, after a long conversation, Xu Xinnian gained a deep understanding of this Protector Yuan.
He comes from the Southern Frontier and is a protector of the Demon Kingdom, with a cultivation level of the fourth rank.
His innate supernatural ability is to see through people's hearts, and he has cultivated the Buddhist practice of telepathy.
It was precisely because of this ability that he was noticed by Sun Xuanji and taken as a disciple.
I'm afraid he's not taking her as a disciple, but rather using her as a means of communication...
Xu Xinnian, who was well aware of Sun Xuanji's language barrier, muttered to himself.
Protector Yuan glanced at him, his voice tinged with sorrow:
"You guessed right, I'm just a tool monkey."
Damn it, I forgot he can read my mind.
It's exhausting to talk to this kind of person... Xu Erlang's face stiffened, and he quickly explained:
“Protector Yuan has misunderstood. I did not mean to speak ill of you.”
Senior Brother Sun simply recognized your abilities and took a liking to your talent.
Protector Yuan muttered to himself, "It's exhausting to talk to someone like me, Lord Xu, you shouldn't force yourself."
"..."
Xu Xinnian steadied himself and silently recited the classics of the sages in his mind, which finally stopped his wandering thoughts.
Protector Yuan looked at him with her clear blue eyes for a moment, then looked away with little interest.
"What kind of demon is Elder Ye Ji?"
During their conversation, the Heavenly King and the Demoness developed feelings for each other.
"Elder Ye Ji is a fox!"
Protector Yuan answered all questions.
The fox clan must be incredibly alluring and captivating; I'd love to see them someday.
His Majesty the Heavenly King conquered the succubus; he is truly a role model for us all...
Stop, stop, you can't think about it anymore.
"Is it not pleasant to learn and practice what you have learned? Is it not pleasant to learn and practice what you have learned?"... Xu Xinnian gathered his thoughts and saw Lina and Xu Lingyin not far away, and a thought struck him:
"Protector Yuan, could you please consider my two sisters' thoughts?"
He often struggled to understand why Rin was so foolish.
Having witnessed Yuan Hufa's terrifying mind-reading ability, Xu Erlang's suppressed curiosity suddenly fermented.
If we could understand what Lingyin is thinking all day long and then address the root cause, we might be able to guide her onto the right path.
This also relieved my mother of a great worry.
The white ape guardian nodded and moved closer to Xu Xinnian side by side.
His clear blue eyes gazed gently at Lina and Xu Lingyin.
Xu Lingyin and Lina also noticed the ugly Protector Yuan, but seeing Xu Erlang beside them, they didn't pay any attention to him.
The master and apprentice chatted about trivial matters while basking in the sun and digesting their food.
As he watched, the White Ape Protector revealed an extremely solemn expression.
Xu Erlang's heart clenched, and he held his breath, waiting silently.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting.
Half an hour later, the white ape protector silently turned and left.
"Protector Yuan!"
Xu Erlang caught up and found that the fourth-rank protector from the southern border had a deep sense of frustration and bewilderment in his azure eyes.
"What exactly did you see?"
After asking the question, Xu Erlang held his breath.
Protector Yuan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
“Protector Yuan, please speak freely.”
Xu Erlang's expression immediately turned serious.
Protector Yuan then nodded and said:
"That girl from southern Xinjiang was just thinking about what to eat for dinner and what to eat tomorrow."
A big question mark flashed through Xu Erlang's mind.
For a full quarter of an hour, Lina only had these few thoughts on her mind...
"As for that child, I, the Dharma Protector, have met my nemesis."
I never expected a young girl to have such an innocent heart.
Protector Yuan's expression was solemn as he slowly said, "The mind is like a clear mirror, devoid of anything!"
The mind is like a clear mirror, devoid of any impurities; a mind without defilement...
Xu Erlang suddenly realized that he had seen the same result as the Heavenly King's tower spirit.
But a few seconds later, he suddenly realized—for a full quarter of an hour, Xu Lingyin, who had eaten and drunk her fill, had a completely blank mind and hadn't thought of anything?!
Protector Yuan said in a deep voice:
"I have only seen such cases in highly accomplished monks whose Buddhist teachings are profound and whose minds are free from defilement."
At this point, the White Ape Protector revealed an expression of admiration and approval:
"As expected of Xu Yinluo's sister, she has reached such an extraordinary level at such a young age."
That's not how it is, Protector Yuan, you may have misunderstood...
Xu Xinnian opened his mouth, but couldn't get the words of explanation out.
……
Three days later, in northern southern Xinjiang.
Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang finally met Lina and Xu Lingyin, who were two days past the agreed time, at a place called San Die Pu (Three-Tiered Waterfall).
In the distance, I saw a large beggar carrying a small beggar on his back, leaping lightly among the rocks.
They were disheveled, dressed in tattered clothes, and reeked of a sour stench, looking just like refugees fleeing famine.
Lina's eyes were bright and shiny, but her delicate face was covered in grime.
