The moment he spoke, Lin Xiao, who had just finished watching the farce and was looking at the extremely displeased faces of the disciples of Misty Immortal Palace, immediately sat up, his aura becoming unstable: "What did you say?!"
This was the most discomposed Lin Xiao had been in years, causing Ye Chen beside him to be taken aback, and the gazes of many warriors converged on Lin Xiao.
"You all go rest first... I have something to attend to."
With that, Lin Xiao vanished.
The next moment, he reappeared in the operations room.
"What did you say?"
His expression was incredibly grave. This was no ordinary news. If this information were to leak, then Dragon Country's situation would become dire.
"I'll head over immediately!" Lin Xiao thought, and he set off, preparing to travel to the capital.
The Dragon Lord's affairs were of paramount importance to the entire Dragon Country! He absolutely could not allow the Dragon Lord's condition to worsen!
"Lin Xiao."
Suddenly, the Dragon Lord's voice came through the phone.
"Dragon Lord!"
Lin Xiao called out urgently, "Your body..."
"My body is fine. As a hater, can't you tell from my voice?" the Dragon Lord said.
Judging solely by his voice, the Dragon Lord truly sounded energetic, making it impossible to ascertain that his body would completely collapse in a month.
"Voice is only one aspect," Lin Xiao frowned. He hadn't detected anything, but with the True Dragon Qi protecting the Dragon Lord's body, coupled with the Dragon Lord's own strength, he couldn't solely determine the Dragon Lord's condition from his voice.
Others might not know, but Lin Xiao knew better than anyone that the Dragon Lord was the only Divine Realm expert he had ever met.
The true number one of Dragon Country.
However, neither the Heavenly Rankings nor any external information had ever mentioned the Dragon Lord's strength.
At the time, he had thought it was likely due to the Dragon Lord's status, which led the Heavenly Rankings to conceal it.
"Lin Xiao, are you not trusting me anymore?" The Dragon Lord raised an eyebrow. He had long anticipated this reaction from Lin Xiao and feigned anger.
"No, no, Dragon Lord. How about this, let me come over and examine you. After the examination, we can discuss the results. If your body is fine, you can punish me however you wish. But you must let me come and examine you in person."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately deduced that the Dragon Lord's body was likely in serious trouble.
"You..." The Dragon Lord shook his head. "Your house arrest order doesn't expire until tomorrow."
"Dragon Lord!"
Lin Xiao became even more confused. He hadn't understood why that red-stamped document had landed on him before, but now he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that the Dragon Lord was doing this intentionally now?
He knew his body was failing, and he wasn't allowing Lin Xiao to come over?
From his voice, he felt the Dragon Lord's body could still hold on, but if it were a day or two later, he wasn't sure.
"Lin Xiao, you must abide by the file," the Dragon Lord said earnestly. "You don't need to worry about this matter. I am very aware of my own body."
With that, the Dragon Lord hung up the phone.
"Dragon Lord, you are..." Xiao Zheng was bewildered. Why would the Dragon Lord say that? Did he not want his body to recover?
"Don't worry, he'll definitely come."
