While Ma Ke and Qiu Si were still petrified, Ling Xiao and Ace were already together.
"You've grown up, grown strong, and matured.”Ling Xiao stood in front of Ace and looked at him for a very long time before saying this. On the other side, Mark and Qiu Si had just returned from the petrification stage. When they heard this, they immediately entered the petrification stage again. "You must be joking. How can you use such a tone?”The two of them thought at the same time.
"Hehe, that's right, Uncle. But you're still so handsome, Uncle.”Ace scratched his head in embarrassment and even flattered Ling Xiao.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Aren't you going to bring me to see your captain?”Ling Xiao rolled his eyes at Ace.
"Yes, yes, I should go and see my father. Well, Uncle, don't you blame me for sneaking out to be a pirate? Didn't you and grandpa both
Do you want me to become a navy officer?" Ace asked Ling Xiao carefully.
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with being a pirate. You're free and can do whatever you want, unlike me and the old man. The old man is better, but I
I wasn't so lucky. I was suppressed by the headquarters and now they want me to be a fighter for the Heavenly Dragon people. Damn it, I get angry just thinking about this.”Ling Xiao said to Ace with a hateful expression.
"That's great, Uncle. You don't blame me, hehe.”When Ace heard Ling Xiao's words, he immediately smiled happily.
"Well, I've never blamed you. After all, what kind of person doesn't our family have? However, you must have suffered a lot since you went out to sea.”
Ling Xiao said to Ace with concern.
"Yes, but it's nothing serious. The most dangerous time was when I was saved by my father in the end. Then, I joined my father's pirate group.”Ace felt a warmth in his heart when he heard Ling Xiao's words. Then, he pretended not to care and said to Ling Xiao,"
Of course, Ling Xiao could tell that Ace was pretending not to care, but he could tell that Ace had indeed suffered a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn't have matured so quickly. At the same time, Ling Xiao felt a little gratified. His heart ached for his two precious nephews.
Ling Xiao patted Ace on the shoulder." It's nothing. It's all in the past, isn't it?" At least you're happy now, aren't you? A man doesn't have to care about the past and look forward!”Ling Xiao said to Ace like a man.
"Okay, I understand. Uncle, I'll take you to see our captain.”Ace said to Ling Xiao with a smile on his face when he saw Ling Xiao like this.
The two of them chatted as they walked, while Mark and Qiu Si followed behind them out of boredom. Soon, they reached the bow deck. Ling Xiao had been touring the place as he walked, and Ace was introducing the place to him.
Ling Xiao looked at the giant in front of him who had a distinctive beard and was drinking wine from a barrel. He sighed. "It's really huge. Fortunately, I'm not of this race. It was too f * cking big. It's not convenient to do anything."
Ling Xiao looked at the giant in front of him, and the giant looked back at him.
"Hello, young man. You must be Ace's brother. Since you're Ace's brother, we're family. Just call me dad.”White Beard said to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was speechless when he heard this, while Ma Ke and Qiu Si held back their laughter. Ace opened his mouth to explain, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Ling Xiao.""Your Excellency White Beard, I'm Meng Qi. D. Ling Xiao, the rear admiral of the navy headquarters. Also, I'm not Ace's brother, I'm Ace's uncle.”After saying that, Ling Xiao looked at the protector with a smile.
When White Beard heard this, he was also shocked. However, he was different from Marcus. His ability to accept things was stronger. He was only stunned for a moment before he reacted. "Haha, so it's Ace's uncle. But the old mad dog is really powerful.”(Everyone knows what's amazing.)
Ling Xiao didn't explain anything. He just smiled at the white-bearded man.
"Come, come. It's rare to have guests today. Children, come and have a banquet.”White Beard laughed.
When the people on the ship heard White Beard's words, they immediately became excited. All of them got ready.
Soon, the preparations for the banquet were completed. The deck was filled with food and wine. "Come, let's wear it for Ace's uncle to visit Ace. Cheers!”White Beard said loudly.
" Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and shouted, then started drinking.
The banquet was in progress. Ling Xiao was drinking and chatting with the officers of the White Beard Pirates.
"Uncle, why do you look like your clothes are torn?”Ace said to Ling Xiao while drinking.
"Oh, this. Before I came here, I passed by the red-haired man's place and had a meal. Then I had a fight with Hawkeye and became like this.”Ling Xiao said casually.
"Ah, what was the result?" Ace heard Ling Xiao and Hawkeye fighting and immediately asked. Beside them, Mark and Qiu Si also pricked up their ears.
"Do you even need to ask? How could your beloved uncle lose? Of course I won." Ling Xiao said matter-of-factly.
"Then, then what are you guys competing about?”Ma Ke asked.
"What you're asking is nonsense. If you want to compete with Hawkeye, of course it's a sword fight.”Ling Xiao looked at Ma Ke as if he was looking at an idiot.
"This, how is this possible? Hawkeye is the number one sword hero in the world.”Mark said in disbelief.
"What's impossible? Uncle's swordsmanship is very strong. I've seen it before. Uncle's swordsmanship definitely won't lose to anyone. Hawkeye had only become the world's number one sword hero because he had never met his uncle before.”Before Ling Xiao could say anything, Ace spoke up.
"This sentence was true in the past, but it might not be true now. In our battle, Hawkeye broke through.”Ling Xiao glanced at them and lowered his head to eat.
"Didn't you win after he broke through?”Qiu Si said.
"Ah, after he broke through? He fainted." Ling Xiao replied.
The few people beside him were shocked again when they heard this. He thought to himself,'He actually fainted. However, if that was the case, Ace's uncle had indeed won the battle.”
"Then, Little Uncle, are you still confident that you can defeat him?”Ace asked curiously.
"Right now, I don't know either. After all, we haven't fought before. But I'm sure that Hawkeye won't be able to beat me. At most, it'll be a draw. If I can use the profoundness of my swordsmanship, then he definitely won't be my match.”Ling Xiao explained to Ace.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these topics. Tell me your adventure story. Come, drink and talk.”Ling Xiao picked up his wine glass and said to the people beside him.
Thus, the few of them drank and talked until late at night before falling asleep on the deck.
(The next chapter will be a battle with White Beard.)
