C274 So young (2/2)
Chang Jing shrugged, ”Got it!”
The two of them landed on a treetop and walked towards the main gate. Along the way, Chang Jing was curious as to why so many guards would respectfully pay respects to her after seeing her. Was she really Grand patriarch? Let's not talk about her young age, even if she treated Chang Jing with such an attitude, it would be impossible for her to be Grand patriarch — — Could Grand patriarch be the appearance of a little girl?!
”Hehe,” Chang Jing finally found a reason for her thoughts, ”It seems like your Elves are not much worse than the Homo sapiens, and are all pretentious — you should be very popular in front of the Grand patriarch, right?”
Little Fairy couldn't help but giggle, and said, ”That's right, I am the number one maidservant in Grand patriarch. It would be weird if not red!”
Chang Jing listened and nodded her head, looking like she was right.
After a few more turns, Wisp seemed to remember something.
”We're almost there. Can you wait here for me?” She said to Chang Jing, ”I'll report to the Grand patriarch first.”
”How troublesome, didn't she tell me to come in? Why did I have to stop here and wait for her to receive me?”
Chang Jing was a little dissatisfied, but the small dissatisfaction completely disappeared without a trace under Little Fairy's bright smile, and was replaced with a kind of appreciation for beauty.
While he was waiting patiently, he walked to a window and looked down at the scenery below. In the vast expanse of Dark Forest, the trees were dull and lifeless at the same time, and in the middle of the forest was where he currently resided — the Elf's Residence. It was around a few miles in radius, and it was located in the middle of the forest in a round shape. As the ancient trees were too tall, all the elves that they saw became ants. They were either busy with flowers or grass, or resting on the branches. They were all quite happy.
”In fact, after everything is over, it would be nice to live here,” he thought. ”At least it would be considered as living in seclusion!”
At that moment, Wisp hopped over.
Chang Jing asked her, ”What, everything has been settled and I can go in?”
”That's right!” The little elf smiled mischievously and said, ”The Grand patriarch has already agreed for you to enter! I'm still not at ease with you, but you must remember not to randomly ask questions, Grand patriarch hates it when others keep asking questions! ”
”Oh!”
Although this was the answer, Chang Jing didn't think that way — The reason I came to this place was to resolve the doubt in my heart, if you don't let me ask the question, could it be that she, an elder, will take the initiative to tell me!
Under the guidance of Little Fairy, Chang Jing quickly entered the core area of the Elf City, where the Grand patriarch was located.
A ruddy old granny level Elf was sitting upright on the emperor's throne. Perhaps out of fear that she would reveal some secret, but instead of guards in this core region, she was the only one sitting.
”Greetings Grand patriarch!” Little Fairy bowed to her respectfully and pulled Chang Jing's hand in greeting.
The old elf's face reddened, and he raised his trembling hands, ”No need for formalities!”
”Thank you, Grand patriarch!” Chang Jing thanked him loudly, but he quickly got the main topic of discussion to the point, ”This humble one is Jinxuefeng, I have come here today to prove my sincerity and to resolve the misunderstanding between you and me, your son, and your son. Secondly, I wish to investigate a major event that happened in Dark Forest a few days ago!”
Little Fairy looked at Chang Jing, signalling him not to ask any further, but Chang Jing did not care, being tied up like a prisoner with such difficulty, how could she not explain herself clearly?!
”I hope that Grand patriarch can believe what I have done, and at the same time hope that you can help this boy resolve this doubt!”
Grand patriarch did not say anything after hearing Chang Jing's explanation.
Hearing that, Chang Jing was ecstatic, she immediately thanked: ”Then Grand patriarch, please quickly resolve this brat's doubt, this matter is extremely important, I can't wait any longer!”
Who knew that Grand patriarch still didn't say anything as he simply replied, ”En!”
This time, Chang Jing was dumbfounded. Could it be that she did not hear what she just said clearly? Could it be that there was a problem with the understanding in the Grand patriarch itself, or that he was retarded? Please, it would be weird if she was retarded and could even become Grand patriarch! It seemed that it was because she was too old. If she wasn't careful during her tenure, she would probably end up suffering from Alzheimer's disease!
He still did not want to give up, so he repeated what he had said just now, but the Grand patriarch's reply was still ”En”, and her face revealed a very troubled and uneasy expression at the same time!
