Chapter 1416: Terminus Divine Ancestor (2/2)
She couldn’t help but glance at Li Qiye then back at Terminus after hearing this strange response. She then showed a fiery glare while placing both hands on her slender waist and said: “Ego King, did you do something bad again? Hmph! You must have done something behind my back.”
Li Qiye only leisurely responded: “Something bad? I didn’t do anything suspicious at all.”
“Hmph, you’re still denying it?! Earlier, he clearly wanted to tell me about a place, but now he’s all quiet. Who else but you could have caused the mischief? Tell the truth right now, what are you trying to do?” She gave him an ugly stare. Despite her young age, she was far from being stupid and understood that there was a reason for the sudden change in Terminus’ att.i.tude.
Li Qiye nonchalantly smiled: “Whatever you think then, but just know that you are wrongfully accusing a good person. Who is the Terminus Divine Ancestor? He took root here and isn’t afraid of anyone, will he actually change his tone just because of a junior like me? I can’t believe that you are suspecting a kind-hearted man like me, is there no justice in this world?”
Although Xiaoxiao felt that Li Qiye was up to no good, she carefully thought about it again and felt that her suspicion was without base. Terminus was the rival of her progenitor and couldn’t possibly be afraid of a young junior like Li Qiye.
He noticed her hesitation and laughed while patting her shoulder: “Okay, little girl, you are viewing my kindness as malice. If you think I have ulterior motives, then you can stay and talk to the ancestor. Sigh, my feelings are so hurt.” Having said that, he turned around to leave.
“Alright, alright, Ego King. I know I’m wrong, why are you in such a hurry to leave?!” She thought that she was wrongfully accusing him and quickly gave chase.
He stopped and looked at her with a grin on his face before pinching her nose: “Changing after knowing that you are wrong, good kid.”
She gave him the side-glance and a kick as well before a.s.suming her usual powerful posture: “Bah, don’t take a mile after I give you an inch! Ego King, I’ll follow you around, but you need to bring me to the place you mentioned earlier!”
She was talking about the place Terminus brought up. In fact, she had no clue as to where or what it was, but her intuition told her that it was very important to her.
Li Qiye chuckled: “Of course, why else would I be taking you to the ridge? However, we’re not in a rush right now. I’ll take you when the time is right.”
After gaining some ground, Xiaoxiao felt quite content and proud. She smugly raised her delicate chin towards Li Qiye and said: “Hmph, that’s more like it.”
Her arrogant demeanor amused him: “We should go in now.”
“Grandpa, see you later.” Xiaoxiao waved towards Terminus. Despite her fiery temperament, she still had a cute side.
Terminus revealed a kind smile and took down a green branch to give to Xiaoxiao: “You can come to the Divine Tree Ridge and play whenever you want. Also, if there’s any trouble, just let me know.”
“Okay.” She didn’t think much of it and casually accepted the branch.
She naturally didn’t know of its importance. As the divine guardian of the withered and this city, his branch would allow for Xiaoxiao to travel unhindered. It guaranteed her safety in many locations in this burial ground.
Li Qiye only chuckled and brought her inside the city.
Terminus couldn’t help but ask before these two left: “Young n.o.ble, how long will you be staying here?”
Li Qiye leisurely responded: “Well, I haven’t thought about that just yet. I’m here to see a person, I wonder if they are still in this world? If possible, I would like you to help me arrange a meeting. If I am satisfied, I will leave immediately.”
Terminus shut his mouth again after hearing this. Li Qiye laughed and finally walked into the city with Xiaoxiao.
Meanwhile, Terminus watched the two and murmured: “Such a magnificent bloodline, it looks like the Golden geezer has his successor.” He sighed with emotion after saying this.
