Chapter 115 Change of Fortune
Chapter 115 Change of Fortune
Soon, the two finished their wontons and wandered around the streets for a long time.
During that time, I also bought a lot of snacks.
Around 10 p.m., the two finally returned to the hotel.
After putting their things down, the two lay down on the bed together.
After their initial contact, the two had become more relaxed with each other.
"Xiao Xiao, do you think we should call Captain Long? And while we're at it, ask about the Long family and the Qin family?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded, his tone becoming serious as he said:
"Yes, I was just thinking about that too. We've been in the Celestial Masters Sect for so long, I wonder what changes have happened outside."
The fact that Captain Long was able to bring the Celestial Masters to rescue us in time shows that he is meticulous and well-informed. Asking him will surely give us some information.
Moreover, now that our cultivation has recovered, it's time for us to go back and help him share some of the burden.
Both of them were filled with gratitude when they thought of Long Yan.
Although Long Yan is a member of the Long family, he is selfless and sincere in his dealings with others.
They had long since become the most trusted partners in their hearts.
"Yes, we are all members of the Exorcism Society after all. Team Leader Long has helped us so much, we really should go back." Qin Yanan nodded, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.
Looking at the sharpness in her eyes, Lin Xiao felt a surge of satisfaction and said:
"Sister Ya Nan, it's good that you think that way. With you here, I feel more confident."
Once we've rested, we'll return to the Exorcism Society and meet up with Brother Long to deal with any potential crises.
Looking into his determined eyes, Qin Yanan was deeply moved and nodded gently, saying, "Yes, everything will be done as you say."
As she spoke, she gently kissed Lin Xiao's cheek again.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet carrying deep affection.
Lin Xiao's cheeks flushed instantly, but this time she didn't flinch.
Instead, he reached out and hugged her tightly, whispering, "Sister Ya Nan, it's so good to have you here."
Qin Yanan leaned against his chest, feeling his warm embrace and steady heartbeat, her heart filled with peace.
All the grievances, fears, and despair of these past days have transformed into overwhelming happiness at this moment.
As long as Lin Xiao is by her side, she can face any difficulty bravely.
The two embraced for a long time before Qin Yanan gently pushed Lin Xiao away, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Alright, let's call Captain Long now and ask about the situation."
Lin Xiao nodded, took a deep breath, and pressed the dial button.
Previously, Long Yan had given him his private number.
The call was answered after a few rings.
A familiar and cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with urgency and surprise: "Feed? Is that Lin Xiao?"
"Brother Long, it's me, Lin Xiao." Lin Xiao's voice carried a hint of relief.
He turned and looked down at Qin Yanan lying in his arms, then said softly, "Yanan and I have left the Celestial Masters Sect. We are now in a county town at the foot of the mountain and are safe."
Long Yan's voice instantly rose eight octaves, filled with surprise, "You and Xiao Nan are out? That's great! I thought you were going to stay at the Celestial Masters Sect for a long time! How is Xiao Nan now?"
"I'm fine, Captain Long, thank you for your concern." Qin Yanan leaned closer to the phone and spoke softly, her tone tinged with gratitude.
"My cultivation has now recovered, and I've even broken through to a higher level."
"What?! You not only recovered your cultivation, but you even broke through to a higher level? How is that possible?"
Long Yan's exclamation came again, his tone full of disbelief.
He had never heard of anyone who could recover their cultivation after it was destroyed.
"Brother Long, of course it's true, why would we lie to you?"
Lin Xiao smiled, but didn't explain the reason in detail. Instead, he changed the subject:
"We called to ask how things are going with the exorcism society? Is Jiangcheng alright? Has anything happened?"
Upon mentioning the Exorcism Society and Jiangcheng, Long Yan's tone instantly turned serious, carrying a hint of solemnity as he said:
"You've come back just in time! The weather outside has changed drastically, and the situation is very dangerous."
"Ah, the weather has changed? What's going on?" Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan exchanged a glance, both of them curious.
I don't know what exactly happened that made Long Yan say something like "the world is changing."
After a brief silence, Long Yan continued, "According to the current intelligence, some strange and ferocious beasts have begun to appear on Azure Star. The strength of these beasts is almost comparable to that of cultivators."
Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan exchanged a glance, a hint of seriousness flashing in their eyes.
They never expected that such a huge change would happen during their absence.
"Besides that, there's something even stranger." Long Yan's tone became even more intense.
"What could be even stranger?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly, unable to think of anything that could be considered even stranger.
"At the same time these strange beasts appeared, we cultivators all felt that the spiritual energy of Azure Star seemed to be getting richer and richer, more than ten times richer than before."
Everyone's cultivation is progressing much faster than before, and many cultivators who were stuck at a bottleneck have successfully broken through their cultivation levels thanks to this spiritual energy. We all speculate that this might be a sign of the resurgence of spiritual energy.
"The spiritual energy is reviving?" Lin Xiao frowned deeply, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
"A resurgence of spiritual energy? And accompanied by so many strange beasts causing chaos? Could there be some connection between the two?"
"I don't know. We've been investigating, but we haven't found anything."
Long Yan sighed helplessly, then said with a headache, "The situation in our country is now very critical."
As the number of alien beasts increased and their strength grew, ordinary firearms were no match for them.
I was just about to contact you to see when you could come back and help us with some of the burden.
A cold killing intent flashed in Qin Yanan's eyes as she said firmly, "Team Leader Long, don't worry, we'll return to the Exorcism Society first thing tomorrow morning to join you in slaying the monsters and protecting the people!"
"That's great! With the two of you here, we feel even more confident!"
Upon hearing this, Long Yan instantly became excited and said, "Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao quickly replied, "There's no need for you to come and pick us up. We can go by ourselves."
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Long Yan said with concern, "Okay! Be careful on your journey! I'll make arrangements for the Exorcism Society in advance. We can talk about other things when you get back."
"Don't worry, we'll be careful." Lin Xiao nodded and then said:
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. You should get some rest too. We'll meet at the exorcism guild tomorrow."
"Okay! See you tomorrow!" Long Yan said and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, the room fell silent instantly.
The relaxed expressions on Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan's faces disappeared, replaced by solemnity.
The simultaneous occurrence of strange beasts wreaking havoc and the revival of spiritual energy is no coincidence; there must be an unknown secret behind it.
They must return to the Exorcism Society as soon as possible to reunite with Long Yan and deal with this sudden crisis together.
Qin Yanan leaned on Lin Xiao's shoulder and said softly, "I didn't expect such a big thing to have happened outside."
Lin Xiao gently grasped her hand and said firmly, "What we can do now is to rest well and conserve our energy so we'll have the strength for tomorrow."
Qin Yanan nodded, a determined look flashing in her eyes, and said, "You're right. No matter what happens, we'll be together."
Lin Xiao nodded, turned off the lights in the room, and gently embraced Qin Yanan.
In fact, Lin Xiao had a vague feeling that the change in the world that Long Yan mentioned might be related to the Cangxuan Realm.
After all, he had only ever seen such things as abundant spiritual energy and powerful exotic beasts in the Cangxuan Realm.
