One day after Hai Tianfengchen returned to his house, he changed into clean clothes and tidied himself up before heading to Lingbo House.
Every time he meets the old king, Hai Tian will be so solemn. Etiquette is the traditional virtue of the sea realm, special etiquette for juniors and elders.
The domain lord's palace was not that far away from Lingbo Mansion. Hai Tian walked towards Lingbo Mansion holding the gifts that he had planned to visit in a few days.
I met many residents on the road, and Hai Tian responded kindly to all of them.
Arriving in front of the Lingbo Mansion, the guards saw Hai Tian approaching and immediately came over to salute and said: "Lord Territory Lord."
Hai Tian nodded and said: "Please inform the old king that Hai Tian is visiting."
Even though he is now the supreme king of the Sea Realm, Hai Tian still respects and respects the old king of Lingbo Mansion.
The guards did not dare to slack off after hearing this, and immediately agreed, turned around and entered the house.
After a while, the guard just returned, bringing with him an old man who was between fifty and sixty years old. The old man's surname was Zhang. He was the steward of Lingbo Mansion and a servant of the old king. He met the steward on weekdays, and Hai Tiandu
Call him Uncle Zhang.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here to visit the old king. I have a few questions to ask the old king for advice."
Uncle Zhang smiled and returned the greeting to Hai Tian, then extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation and said respectfully: "Please, Lord Territory Lord, the old king is already waiting in the hall."
Following Uncle Zhang through the two long corridors, the two of them returned to the depths of Lingbo Mansion.
The old king is relatively old, likes silence, and lives in the deep courtyard all year round.
Haitian was already very familiar with the road to Shenyuan. It was a long and quiet journey for a quarter of an hour.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhang has a cheerful personality, and we chatted and laughed with him along the way, so we walked very quickly.
Until they arrived at the small courtyard where the old king lived, the two of them gradually stopped talking to each other tacitly.
A wooden door made of sea bamboo appears in front of you, which leads to the residence of the old king.
The old king said he had many children, and they were all very filial. The old king did not live here before.
But since the old queen passed away a hundred years ago, the old king was heartbroken and wanted to follow the old queen several times.
The two have been together for hundreds of thousands of years and have become an inseparable whole.
In the ten years after the death of the old queen, the old king remained closed to visitors.
Later, the old king no longer liked the excitement. The people who loved the excitement left. The old king just wanted to guard the sea and pretend that his lover was still by his side.
The old king could have continued to practice, increase his cultivation level, and increase his life span, but after the old queen died, the old king stopped practicing and only waited for the day he passed away to find his lover.
Arriving at the door of the small courtyard, the two looked at each other, and Uncle Zhang gently opened the door.
"Sir, the Territory Lord is here."
Uncle Zhang said something in a moderate voice, and then led Hai Tian inside.
"Well, come in."
A mixed voice came, and the sense of respect in Hai Tian's heart became even stronger.
The hall door was open, so after walking in for about ten steps, Hai Tian saw the old king.
Entering the hall and standing next to the old king, Uncle Zhang took the gift from Hai Tian. Hai Tian knelt down respectfully and saluted the old king.
"Junior Hai Tian, pay homage to the old king."
The old king's face covered with white beard moved, showing a kind smile, and said: "Lord, you're welcome, get up quickly."
"Thank you, old king."
With a wave of his hand, the old king signaled Uncle Zhang to pour tea for Hai Tian, and said to Hai Tian: "Haitian, you are the master of the realm. You don't need to take etiquette so seriously. There are no outsiders here, so you still
As I said before, just call me Uncle Ling."
The old king's real name was Ling Feng. He was always easy-going, not rigid about etiquette, and never put on airs.
Hai Tian sat down at the guest seat, nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Ling."
Ling Feng nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "Why, I heard that you went to the World Temple for another meeting today? This World Conference is not held every hundred years, and it has not been a month since the last meeting, right?"
"Yes," Hai Tian nodded and said solemnly: "Uncle Ling, I just want to ask you a few questions."
Haitian explained to Ling Feng why the World Conference was held again after more than ten days, and also informed Ling Feng of the questions he had at the World Temple today.
After finishing speaking in one breath, Haitian's mouth became dry and he drank more than half of a cup of tea before he felt relieved.
He raised his head and looked at Ling Feng seriously, only to see Ling Feng stroking his beard and thinking about something thoughtfully.
"The familiar scent...the barrier of the sea..."
Ling Feng kept murmuring these words, turned around and asked: "Do you still remember that familiar breath?"
Hai Tian hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, then said solemnly: "Remember, Uncle Ling, the aura on the token you have been wearing is exactly the same."
With a snap, Ling Feng suddenly stood up and said in surprise: "Could it be... Could it be the ancestor?"
