Chapter 2070. You Are Situ Nan (1/2)

Deep into the night, the torchers flickered and teams of soldiers patrolled the barracks. The entire camp looked like a heavily armored city and also gave off a sense of order.

Outside the camp, there was no longer any music. It was completely calm.

Lights were extinguished in most of the tents. Only a few remained, and the figures inside could be seen. In particular, the light in the general’s tent was bright and there were many guards around the tent.

The old general, Si Nan, was standing next to a map and frowning. There was only him here, and it was very quiet, with only the sound of the candle burning.

“King Nan… Hmph, such a person is not worthy of being called ‘King Nan!’”The old general looked at the map and coldly snorted. For some unknown reason, he had a strange feeling toward the name “King Nan.”

It was as if no one in the world was qualified to be called “King Nan!”

“Oh? Then who deserve to be called ‘King Nan?’” A teasing voice came from behind the old general.

The old general’s body trembled, but he soon recovered to normal. He turned around to see a white-clothed and white-haired youth standing not far away, staring at him with a smile.

“Before this old man becomes a king, no one is qualified to be called ‘King Nan.’” The old general didn’t panic at all as he calmly sat there.

“Sit.” The old general pointed ahead.

Wang Lin looked at him and let out a sigh of admiration. It was extremely rare for someone to remain so calm when a stranger suddenly appeared.

In particular, this calmness was not fake, but true calmness.

Wang Lin faintly smiled and sat opposite of the old general.

“Do you have wine?” Wang Lin laughed.

“How can there be no wine in an army?” The old general laughed and shouted a command to the people outside.

“Someone, bring wine!”

A respectful reply came from outside and then a few soldiers came in. Upon seeing Wang Lin, they were all startled, especially the guards outside. Their expressions changed drastically.

They hadn’t seen anyone entering!

The old general’s expression remained the same as he waved his hand and said, “Put down the wine and leave!”

The guard silently put down a few jugs of wine beside Wang Lin and the old general before they all retreated.

“General Si Nan has such strong composure.” Wang Lin picked up a jug of wine and took a big gulp.

“For Sir to silently come here, that means even if the soldiers came, they wouldn’t be able to stop you, so what’s the point?” the old general said as he picked up a jug of wine, broke the seal, and drank a lot.

The smile on Wang Lin’s face became even wider. He was truly happy. It could be said that ever since coming to the Immortal Astral Continent, occasions where he felt this happy had been rare. This was different from finding Li Muwan’s soul or being with Xuan Luo. This was the indescribable feeling of meeting an old friend.

This kind of feeling made him feel very relaxed and very happy.

Figures flashed outside the tent and footsteps echoed. In just a few words, countless soldiers surrounded the tent and all the generals were here. They all looked like they were going to face a powerful enemy, but none of them dared to enter; they could only surround the tent.

They were all nervous, but their killing intent didn’t decrease a bit — it all condensed together. This caused the countless torches in the barracks to become dim.

Time passed, and in a flash, it was about to be dawn. The soldiers had been outside for almost the whole night. If not for the laughter coming from inside, they would have rushed inside.

However, the laughter just made them even more confused.

“Interesting. Sir Wang has been to so many places. This old man has heard about the Mountain Se, but it is too far away. As a mortal, I can’t go there.” The old general put down an empty jug and picked up another one.

“If you want, you can.” Wang Lin drank the spicy wine as he looked at his old friend and smiled.

“Oh? Sir Wang should be a cultivator.” The old general’s eyes lit up.

Wang Lin nodded but didn’t speak. He continued to drink wine.

Time flowed once more until dawn. The darkness faded and the sun gradually rose into the sky. Wang Lin and the old general had been drinking wine for the whole night. Wang Lin talked alot about his experiences on the Immortal Astral Continent. He talked about the Heavenly Bull Continent, the Green Devil Continent, and the ancestral city. He even talked about everything that had happened in the Ancient clan.
