The old man's mouth fell open upon hearing Lin Xiao's words. He had been wondering how Lin Xiao managed to travel to the United States and cause such upheaval in such a short time, and now, Lin Xiao had actually entered the Divine Realm!
The Divine Realm!
How old was Lin Xiao?!
He had naturally seen many experts in the Divine Realm and knew that in Dragon Country, there was an inner realm, where the true ancient martial arts powerhouses resided.
However, he had never heard of such a young Divine Realm expert like Lin Xiao!
"Yes, I only entered the Divine Realm not long ago, and hadn't had the chance to tell you," Lin Xiao quickly replied.
"Excellent! This is excellent! A hero emerges from the young!" The old man praised him profusely, then let out a soft hum. "Alright, you go and celebrate the New Year. As for this old man, I need to go and give some people a stern talking-to."
Originally, if Lin Xiao hadn't entered the Divine Realm, the old man might have had some reservations. But now that Lin Xiao had actually entered the Divine Realm, everything became much easier.
A Divine Realm expert in his twenties, no matter what, he would protect him with his life.
As long as Lin Xiao remained the same Lin Xiao, their Dragon King.
He hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number.
...
Lin Xiao listened to the busy tone on the phone and fell into a moment of silence.
"He's very good to you."
Qi Tian was by his side. He hadn't intended to eavesdrop, but the conversation between them wasn't intentionally hidden, so he heard it all.
"Yes, he takes good care of me." Lin Xiao put away his phone and turned to look at Qi Tian. "How about it, is this your first time celebrating New Year's?"
"What do you mean, 'first time celebrating New Year's'? It's as if our Qi Sect doesn't celebrate New Year's! Do you really think we cultivate immortality? We occasionally celebrate the New Year in the sect," Qi Tian said irritably. "It's just not as lively as it is out here."
"Everyone in the sect, when New Year comes, it's just a formality. Sometimes my master doesn't even come out of seclusion. Whoever among the disciples isn't in seclusion just gets together, and that's considered celebrating the New Year."
As Qi Tian spoke, he shook his head. That kind of celebration wasn't really celebrating the New Year.
Lin Xiao's place, though not many people, was still lively. Moreover, he had rarely seen fireworks like these in the mountain sect.
They weren't rare items, but for their Qi Sect, they didn't have the time to bother with such things.
In the world, only their own desires and pursuits were important.
Everything else was unimportant.
"Going through the motions, is that what you call celebrating New Year's?" Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly twinkled, and he said to Qi Tian, "Let's go. I'll take you out for a stroll."
"A stroll? It's New Year's, shouldn't everyone be at home? What's there to see outside?"
Qi Tian didn't understand.
"That's because you haven't seen enough!"
Lin Xiao immediately said, "Let me tell you, there are places where, even during New Year's, it's bustling with activity, and there's everything outside."
As he spoke, he took Qi Tian's hand. With a few swift movements, the two of them left the villa unnoticed.
"Aren't you going to tell your wife?" Qi Tian asked strangely as he followed Lin Xiao.
"Aren't I telling her now?"
Lin Xiao held his phone, sending a message.
"Oh, right. You have a phone."
Qi Tian almost forgot that he was in the mortal world.
