Chapter 2517 Want to move forward? Then you must die!
Ling Tian sat in the car, looking quietly ahead with a serious expression.
Du Yanhao got out of the car first and began to observe his surroundings, while also making sure whether it was okay to walk straight ahead.
Lin Qi sat in the driver's seat, looked at Ling Tian, and whispered, "Brother, are we really going to the other side? I'm wondering if we'll encounter something different. I'm afraid we'll be in danger and become a burden to you. How about...brother, please think about it carefully?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian continued to look ahead: "Why? Do you feel that your strength is not enough? Or are you afraid of encountering another strong person like Jiujiu?"
"Both." Lin Qi sighed. "I'm really afraid that a powerful monster like that will appear again. By then, Xiaohao and I will be a burden and won't be able to help at all. So, big brother, I'm wondering whether I should go with you."
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Ling Tian sensed something was amiss and frowned slightly before turning to look at Lin Qi and asking, "Are you sure you're afraid of becoming a burden to me, rather than having other thoughts of your own?"
"Of course not! Absolutely not! Don't worry, big brother!"
Lin Qi hurriedly shook his head to deny it, but the hint of nervousness that flashed in his eyes was still caught by Ling Tian.
Seeing Lin Qi's slightly strange reaction, Ling Tian sighed and said, "You, you, we've known each other for so long, haven't you realized that I can see through some of your thoughts? You want to stay, isn't it just to negotiate with Jiujiu?"
"I know you want to help me with Xiaohao, and I also know you're worried that something might happen to me. But since I said I'd take you with me, I naturally have my own plans and things I need you to do, so you don't have to think too much, just follow me."
Ling Tian spoke softly. After a moment of daze, Lin Qi stared at Ling Tian blankly, puzzled, "No, big brother, you... ahem! How did you figure that out? Am I such a bad liar now?"
"Not really, it's just that I've been in contact with you for too long. Now that I've exposed you, tell me what you think."
Hearing this, Lin Qi sighed and scratched his head, saying, "Actually, I'm thinking of selling myself to Jiujiu, becoming free labor, solving her problems, and then letting her go with Big Brother. After all, compared to Xiaohao and me, Jiujiu is more useful."
"And I think she must be hiding some secret, so I thought, see if I can find out some secret and then report it to you, big brother. Even though I might lose my life for this, I think it's the most useful thing I can do."
After hearing Lin Qi's words, Ling Tian was not surprised. Instead, he leaned back in his chair calmly and said softly, "You think some things are too simple. I think that instead of thinking about these things, you might as well think about how to improve your realm."
"We are still some distance away from the so-called back of the Holy Mountain, so I advise you to spend this time with Xiaohao to improve your realm. I will call you if anything happens. This is your most important matter right now."
After hearing this, Lin Qi stared at Ling Tian blankly. After a moment, he asked doubtfully, "So, Big Brother is really going to take Xiao Hao and me with him?"
"Of course." Ling Tian nodded. "You are all very important to me, especially you. Your role is far more important than you imagine, so don't think too much about it. Think about how to become stronger. This is your most important thing."
After Ling Tian finished speaking, he reclined the seat and pointed at Du Yanhao standing outside, saying, "Call Xiaohao back, and then you drive. Let's set off now and drive straight ahead. After I take a break, I'll take your turn."
"I understand, brother!"
Seeing that Ling Tian had no intention of letting him stay, Lin Qi did not insist. Instead, he asked Du Yanhao to get in the car and started the car forward.
Along the way, Ling Tian closed his eyes to rest, while Du Yanhao followed Ling Tian's instructions and began to try to improve his realm in the back seat.
Only Lin Qi was sitting in the driver's seat, looking worried.
In fact, Lin Qi had never felt such severe frustration before.
He has always thought that he is a genius, that he has good abilities, and that he can always be of help to Ling Tian when he is around.
However, after arriving in Weicheng, he increasingly felt that his strength was insufficient, that his realm was too low, and that he was a waste.
Especially after arriving at the Holy Mountain, his sense of failure became even more pronounced, making him want to kneel down and apologize to Ling Tian for not being strong enough.
It was because of his self-doubt that he wanted to help Ling Tian, and that was why he wanted to find Jiujiu.
Although he didn't know whether he could succeed in the end, trying it himself was the most accurate choice and the only solution at this stage.
After all, facing Jiujiu, Ling Tian’s strength was not enough, and he and Du Yanhao were even more useless.
So he thought of becoming Jiujiu's younger brother and solving all the troubles about Weicheng for her, just to let Ling Tian leave and go to the Central City to fulfill his dream.
But he didn't expect that Ling Tian not only guessed his thoughts, but also directly rejected them. At that moment, Lin Qi felt moved and blamed himself, and was absent-minded all the way.
Squeak~ Suddenly, a sharp brake sound was heard. Ling Tian woke up suddenly, looked up, and found Jiujiu standing in front of the car, looking at him angrily.
Their eyes met, and Lin Qi, who was driving, said hurriedly: "Brother! I didn't even notice her. She appeared suddenly. She..."
"Okay, we've only been gone for less than five minutes and she's already here. She's obviously been watching us nearby. I'm going to go downstairs."
Ling Tian opened the car door and got out. At this moment, Jiujiu walked over and suddenly pulled out a long sword from her waist. It was completely white and looked like bone. Then she pointed it at Ling Tian's eyebrows and whispered, "What do you want to do? Didn't I ask you to search nearby?"
"It's nearby." Ling Tian shrugged. "There's nothing useful in that house, so we can only move forward. What's wrong? Can't we go forward? Is there some secret you have?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiujiu frowned sharply, and the hand holding the long sword slightly tightened, saying, "What exactly do you want to do? What exactly is your purpose in coming to the Holy Mountain? Lingtian, I want to hear the truth. If your answer does not satisfy me... I will definitely kill you!"
"You know, my realm is higher than yours. It would be easy for me to kill you, so... you must think carefully before you speak."
Hearing Jiujiu's threat, Ling Tian felt a little unhappy, but he still took a deep breath and said softly, "I want to go to the back of the Holy Mountain to take a look."
