No one knew what he was thinking specifically. It wasn't until I talked about my return and finally appeared here that the castle owner woke up from his meditation.
"Don't worry about the changes in the landscape outside. I smoothed them out just now when I came out of seclusion. These should not cause greater panic among the villagers."
After listening to what I said, the castle master nodded repeatedly.
I knew that when he came out of seclusion, it must be the glorious and majestic aura that accompanied him just now, and took advantage of the situation to solve all the hidden worries that could be seen at the moment.
"As for the big monster monster you mentioned, I have indeed never seen it. I am ashamed to say that since I took Yaoyao into seclusion that night, I have never noticed any changes in the outside world."
His words made my heart skip a beat. You must know that although the castle owner has a ban on retreat, as the guardian of Dongfang Fort, it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the changes in the outside world during the retreat.
However, even with his powerful cultivation, he never noticed this change. You can imagine what this actually means!
"The reason why I hurriedly left the seclusion this time was because I sensed that the magic circle arranged in the house was touched, so I had no choice but to show up in advance."
When he said this, the castle owner gave me a meaningful look and continued: "Luckily it's you, Xiaotian. If it were other villagers, the consequences would be disastrous."
I understand the information contained in the second half of his sentence. After the castle master announced the rules of retreat, he personally demonstrated the power of his Dharma-protecting formation during retreat, which really frightened many people.
And just now I was so anxious that I completely forgot about this, and rashly stepped forward and pushed the door open. Thinking about it now, I felt a little scared.
"What a pity! This time was interrupted. After all, Yaoyao was unable to comprehend the wonderful realm of Taichu, so she had to wait for the next opportunity to come!"
Having said this, the castle master let out a long sigh, obviously he still felt regretful that his granddaughter could not break through due to an accident.
"Fortmaster, don't you remember the demon-transforming fruit I just mentioned? I believe that with its help, Sister Yaoyao will be able to advance smoothly!"
While speaking, the pattern of the animal tooth bracelet on my right wrist flashed, and suddenly a strange fruit exuding an endless fragrance appeared in my hand.
What else could it be if it weren't for the Demon Transformation Fruit?
It was originally a gift I prepared for Yaoyao, but seeing that she failed to break through because of my sudden interruption, I was actually more anxious than anyone else.
And I also understand that the reason why the castle master deliberately ignored the part about the demon-transforming fruit that I just told was obviously because of his cultivation and seniority, it was really embarrassing for him to mention it directly.
But in this case, the only regret is the gift scene that has been played out in my heart countless times.
I have imagined more than once that when I personally handed Yaoyao the demon-transforming fruit that I had gone through so much hard work to obtain, and told her the meaning of the demon-transforming fruit, the joy that bloomed on her face made the sky shine.
The scene when all smiles are dim.
I believe no one can resist the temptation of personally giving this gift to the girl they admire.
Her joy, her smile, and her contentment will become the greatest compliment in the world!
But I have completely forgotten all of this. I really can’t think of anything that makes me feel more happy and full of accomplishment than letting Yaoyao advance smoothly at this moment.
I do this purely out of instinct!
"Is this what you call the Demon Transformation Fruit?"
Accompanied by the castle master's incredible voice, a gentle air current quickly lifted the demon-transforming fruit in my hand and flew towards him quickly.
"I really didn't expect that, after sitting in Dongfang Fort for so many years, I didn't discover such a treasure so close at hand!"
Looking at the demon-transforming fruit floating in front of his eyes, the castle master's eyes showed an unprecedented sparkle and he let out a sound of admiration.
His expression is the only one I've ever seen in my life!
"If I had known that there would be such a strange result, why worry about Dongfang Fort not being prosperous!"
I heard him let out another deep sigh of admiration, and then quickly clasped his hands. I saw the ever-burning oil lamp in the house speeding towards me, suspended under the demon-transforming fruit, and roasting the fruit above with the light of the lamp.
Soon, the demon-transforming fruit turned into a stream of chaotic air under the constant burning of the lights, and flowed into Yaoyao's dantian air sea following the command of the castle master.
I only had time to see Yaoyao's eyebrows furrowed and a thin layer of sweat forming on her face as the air flowed into her body. Then she turned into a wisp of flame again, spiraling into the light of the oil lamp and disappearing.
Just like before I came in, it was obvious that Yaoyao could successfully continue her advanced journey.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lord!"
Faced with this result, I almost subconsciously cupped my fists and said thank you.
However, neither my body nor the hands I held could move down even an inch.
This situation has happened to me countless times since I was very young!
According to the castle owner, he couldn't bear it.
There is nothing I can do about this, but I will still try my best to implement the etiquette that should be performed, even if it ends up being just a formality.
"It's enough for Xiaotian to have this kind of heart. I believe Yaoyao will also like it."
I saw the castle master stroking his beard with a rosy face. It was obvious that Yaoyao was able to advance smoothly and he was also very happy.
Then, the castle master asked me in detail about all the details about the Demon Transformation Fruit, nodding his head repeatedly during the process.
I know that he is already interested in this strange result!
Allow me to observe three minutes of silence for those monsters in the Moon Burial Forest. Once the monster-transforming fruit is taken into consideration by the castle owner, it will definitely be more difficult for them to obtain it in the future!
At the same time, I also asked the fort master in detail about the sky column that suddenly erupted on Dongfang Fort that day. He shook his head repeatedly and said that he had never noticed it, and that such a situation had never occurred in his memory of Dongfang Fort.
As for the riot in the Northern Cloud Wall, the castle master frowned when he heard it. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"Xiaotian, have you ever thought that if the intensity of the explosion of the Cloud Wall was really as you said, would Dongfang Fort still exist?" He suddenly asked.
His question made my heart skip a beat.
Yes! Dongfang Fort is so close to the Cloud Wall. If the Cloud Wall really breaks out on a large scale, even if it is returned to its original position afterwards, all the areas it passes through will suffer unbearable damage.
And Dongfang Fort happens to be in such an area!
This question has almost become a dead end, and there is no answer at all.
Then I asked the castle master for advice on the time-related issue that had always surprised me.
For example, the old master once said that his grandfather's grandfather's grandfather had experienced the beast tide, but this is full of conflicts with the history of Dongfang Fort told by the Brachiosaurus King, and it cannot be explained in terms of time.
Regarding this issue, the castle master pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Xiaotian, how should you explain the time freezing problem of Dongfang Fort this time?"
There was confusion in his eyes as he spoke, and he was obviously deeply troubled by this problem.
And I seem to understand something... (To be continued)
