The "guest" mentioned by the World Tree turned out to be Lin Xiaodie, whom he had met in the far north not long ago.
At that time, Lin Xiaodie seemed to be dissatisfied with him for some unknown reason. She always spoke sarcastically, like a rose with thorns, and her attitude was quite bad.
However, the girl who appeared in front of Zhong Wen at this moment was a little less domineering, with a hint of melancholy and a hint of suppression in her eyebrows.
Now Lin Xiaodie is no longer the soft and cute lolita she used to be. In two and a half years, the flowers she once was have fully bloomed. Her face and body have grown, and she is as beautiful as a flower and jade, with a natural beauty and fragrance.
Such a gloomy look is really beautiful and moving. I feel pity for her, and I can't help but want to hold her in my arms and comfort her.
"Zhong Wen..."
The moment she saw Zhong Wen, a complicated look flashed in Lin Xiaodie's eyes, her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just spit out his name.
"Flutterfly!"
No matter how unpleasant the previous encounter was, in Zhong Wen's heart, Lin Xiaodie was always a close relative. Seeing the girl take the initiative to look for him, he didn't know how happy and joyful he was, so he quickly approached her without thinking.
He greeted them with a smile and said, "I just finished fighting with people here, and I was planning to go to the far north to see you. I didn't expect you to come to the Dark Night Forest first. How nice!"
"Finished the battle?"
Lin Xiaodie glanced at him sideways, and suddenly sneered, "Shouldn't it be after you've finished picking up girls?"
"Xiaodie still loves to joke so much."
Zhong Wen's expression froze, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly forced a smile.
"What are you nervous about?"
Lin Xiaodie suddenly sighed softly, "Senior Sister Yin's feelings for you can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. It will only be a matter of time before she falls into your hands. I just ask you not to let her down."
Does she already know?
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Wen's mouth immediately opened wide, as if he had been struck by five thunders, and he could not recover for a long time.
You know, what happened between him and Yin Ning'er just happened a few days ago. It can be said that heaven and earth know it. At most, there is a bear. However, judging from Lin Xiaodie's previous words, the girl obviously has no idea about the relationship between the two.
The progress is clear and understandable.
How could he not be shocked and puzzled by this miraculous operation like opening the eyes of the sky?
"Why are you looking at me like this?"
Sensing his dull look, Lin Xiaodie curled her lips in displeasure, "Don't you welcome me? Then I'll leave now."
"Xiaodie..."
Zhong Wen hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Do you already know about Ning'er and me?"
"how?"
Lin Xiaodie sneered and said, "Since you dare to do it, are you still worried that others will know about it?"
"I had no intention of hiding it."
Zhong Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's just that you knew it too quickly."
Lin Xiaodie didn't answer, she just kept sneering.
"Ning'er is here
Seeing this, Zhong Wen had to change the subject and said, "Do you want to meet her?"
"No, it's not time yet."
Hearing him mention Yin Ning'er, Lin Xiaodie's expression changed slightly, and her expression softened a little. She hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head and refused, "When it's time to meet, I will meet you naturally."
Lin Xiaodie's answer obviously exceeded Zhong Wen's expectations.
"Xiaodie..."
After a long silence, he spoke again, "You came to the Dark Night Forest this time to..."
"Aren't you curious about who is in the tower in the far north?"
Lin Xiaodie suddenly raised her head and stared into his eyes, "I came here this time just to take you to see her."
"you are right……"
Zhong Wen was shocked and blurted out, "That dear friend in the gray tower who needs your protection?"
"Of course, you can also choose not to go."
Lin Xiaodie did not answer, but thought to herself, "Then just pretend I haven't been here."
"When did I say I couldn't go?"
After being slandered by her again for no apparent reason, Zhong Wen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Xiaodie, I felt that you had a strong opinion of me last time we met. Did I accidentally offend you somewhere?"
"No." Lin Xiaodie answered very simply.
"Then why..." Zhong Wen said calmly.
“Have you never heard of a woman’s eighteen-year-old transformation?”
Lin Xiaodie rolled her eyes at him angrily, "I've grown up and grown to hate you, can't I?"
Zhong Wen: “…”
The once well-behaved and cute little loli now behaves like a rebellious adolescent girl, which makes him very confused and doesn't know how to deal with it.
"I've said everything that needs to be said."
Lin Xiaodie had no intention of continuing to chat. She tapped her lotus feet lightly on the ground, and her whole body disappeared in front of her eyes. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. "If you are willing to go, then follow
Come on!"
"Flutterfly!"
Zhong Wen's face tightened, and he clasped his fists at the empty tree hole, "Brother Shenshu, please tell Ning'er that I have something urgent to do and have to leave for a few days. I don't have time to say goodbye to her. I'll wait until the matter is done."
Just come back!"
After saying that, a blue light flashed around him, and the dragon shadow hovered under his feet. With a loud "bang", he disappeared in an instant.
"Women, women again..."
When he walked away, the face of the sacred tree gradually appeared above the ground, his mouth slightly opened, and he sighed in a low voice, "Will you always be led by a woman in your life?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the tree's face gradually faded away and quickly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.
…
In fact, when he left the Far North not long ago, Zhong Wen planted a twelve-colored lotus seed near the Gray Tower. Just by closing his eyes, he could instantly cross several domains, arriving first and last.
Appear directly in front of the mysterious tower.
But instead of doing this, he honestly activated his movements, followed Lin Xiaodie closely, and headed straight to the northwest.
As a veteran of flowers, he certainly knew that the former method was simply done by a straight man. Not only did it not show any ability, but it was also very likely to anger Lin Xiaodie, who was already in a bad mood.
The two of them used all their strength to activate their movements, and their speed reached an unbelievable level. One after the other, they moved as fast as lightning, and it didn't take long before they broke into the ice and snow of the far north.
What has Xiaodie experienced in the past two years or so?
Along the way, the more Zhong Wen chased, the more frightened he became. He felt that Lin Xiaodie's body movements were incredibly fast. With his current strength, it was actually a little difficult to keep up. Such a thought could not help but appear in his mind again.
He knows the balance of heaven, and any gain must come with a corresponding price.
Even he, who was in charge of the "Xinhua Tibetan Scripture Pavilion", encountered many dangers and difficulties during his growth, and even almost lost his life on several occasions.
Lin Xiaodie was able to become a top expert almost as strong as herself in just over two years. How could the suffering and hardships she endured be beyond the imagination of ordinary people?
Thinking of this and looking at the girl's slender and delicate back, Zhong Wen couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He no longer had any incomprehension about her abnormal mood.
After all, she is just a teenage girl!
After experiencing so much pain, if your temperament remains unchanged, that would be called abnormal!
"By the way, Xiaodie."
After walking for a while, Zhong Wen suddenly remembered something and quickly asked, "I wonder how Bing'er is doing now?"
"Can't wait anymore?"
Lin Xiaodie didn't even look back, and coldly said, "It's almost here anyway, you'll know later if you look at it?"
Angry again?
It's like a dynamite barrel.
Realizing that the girl's mood seemed to be getting worse, Zhong Wen shrank his neck and chose to remain silent very wisely.
Not long after, the snowman family appeared in sight.
With the strength of the two of them, there was no need to care about the attitude of the snowmen at all. They decisively passed over their heads at such a speed that 99% of the snowmen could not even notice it.
The gray tower still stood there quietly, towering into the clouds and mysterious.
Zhong Wen glanced around, but did not find Li Bing's figure. Then he released his consciousness and tried to explore the situation inside the gray tower.
However, the moment the consciousness touched the outer wall of the tower, it seemed as if it had hit an insurmountable barrier and was rebounded hard, unable to penetrate at all.
"Come in!"
Before she could continue to try, Lin Xiaodie had already walked around behind the tower and waved to him.
Zhong Wen's whole body flashed with blue light, and without hesitation he flashed behind the gray tower and followed him like a shadow.
This side of the mysterious tower was something he had never seen before when he came to the far north.
So when he saw the scene at the entrance of the tower, he couldn't help but be severely shocked.
This is a door!
The door is about one foot high, but it is not at the bottom of the tower, but in the middle of the gray tower.
But what really surprised him was not the door in mid-air, but the pattern carved on the door.
