Leon looked nervously at the girl in front of him, while Amber and Azurite looked at her in confusion. Ling Xiao sat there smiling the entire time.
"Then, Miss Maya, can you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help you." Ling Xiao said to Maya with a smile.
"You, can you help me? That's impossible." When Maya heard Ling Xiao's words, she first felt hopeful, but then she said dejectedly,"
"Well, how can you be sure that I can't help you if you don't tell me?”Ling Xiao spread his hands and said to Maya.
"Alright, I'll tell you." Maya said to Ling Xiao.
The others also pretended to be loyal listeners.
"That was one night. Many pirates came to our island that day. We thought that they were just like the people who came before, coming to get the legendary sword, so we didn't pay much attention to them. Who knew that they weren't here for the sword, but to rob our village. Many villagers were killed, and Saga fought with the pirates to protect me. However, Saga's right hand was broken, and he only had one left hand, so he was quickly cut by the pirates. When Saga saw that he couldn't defeat the pirates, he brought me along and ran. We unknowingly ran to the castle on the island, but the pirates chased after us. Saga was seriously injured while protecting me, and the pirates wanted to kill me. At this moment, Saga took out his sword from the castle and saved me when I was about to be killed. However, he was controlled by the sword.”Maya said to Ling Xiao and the others, but as she spoke, she started to cry.
Ling Xiao took out a handkerchief and handed it to her." Don't be sad." Wipe it."
Maya took the handkerchief and continued," Saga picked up that sword and killed all the pirates, but he was also controlled by that sword. Then he took the sword to the naval dojo on the island. Soon, news spread that he was once an instructor of the naval dojo, and all the naval officers and soldiers in the dojo were controlled by that sword. The sword's name was the Seven Star Sword. If he didn't stop Saga now, he would be completely controlled by the Seven Star Sword during the red full moon two years later. It would be over then.”Maya said as she wiped her tears.
"Phew, so that sword is the Seven Star Sword. I've heard about it in the headquarters. There seems to be a story about a prince and a witch.”Ling Xiao said casually.
"What is it? You know about that sword?" Amber shouted loudly when she heard Ling Xiao's words.
"Alright, alright. What are you shouting for? I've heard it. I am a former admiral of the navy, so what's so strange about me knowing this?”Ling Xiao said unhappily when he saw Amber shouting.
"You, are you a navy general?" When Leon heard Ling Xiao's words, he even addressed him respectfully.
"Ah, yes. However, he had just defected and was now a wanted criminal.”Ling Xiao glanced at Leon and said.
"Right, Miss Maya, I can help you with this matter.”Ling Xiao said to Maya.
"Is it true? That's great. Please come with me to see Grandma.”Maya said happily when she heard Ling Xiao's words.
The few of them followed Maya to the village's altar. As Maya walked, she introduced the place to Ling Xiao and the others.
"Oh, Maya, is this your mother-in-law?”Ling Xiao said as he looked at the hunchbacked granny in front of him who was leaning on a wooden cane.
"Yes, she is my mother-in-law.”Maya answered Ling Xiao.
"Oh, hello, granny!" Leon quickly greeted the old lady when he saw her.
At that moment, the granny looked at Ling Xiao as if he was a monster. After a long while, she said,""Young man, what is your name?”
"Oh, hello granny, my name is Meng Qi. D. Ling Xiao.”Ling Xiao introduced himself to his grandmother.
"What is it? It really is you, you great pirate with a bounty of 600 million!”Granny exclaimed excitedly when she heard Ling Xiao's words.
"W-what? A bounty of 600 million?" Amber, Maya, and the others said in surprise when they heard the old lady's words.
"Eh? When did I become a bounty criminal? But I defected to the navy, so there should be a bounty on my head.”Ling Xiao rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
The few people beside him were obviously shocked. After a while, Azurite was the first to react. She ran to Ling Xiao and bowed to him, saying,""I'm sorry, Mr. Spectre. Because of us, you're wanted.”
"Don't worry, don't mind me. I personally don't like the Heavenly Dragon people. If I kill them, then I kill them. It has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I think the Heavenly Dragon people would still steal from others. Also, don't call me Spectre. That's my code name in the navy headquarters. Didn't I just say that my name is Meng Qi. D. Ling Xiao? You can just call me Ling Xiao in the future.”Ling Xiao said to Azurite nonchalantly.
"You big pirate, what are you doing on our island?”The old granny shouted at Ling Xiao and looked at him warily.
"Granny, you've misunderstood. Mr. Ling Xiao isn't a bad person. He defected because of us.。。。。。”When Liu Li heard the old lady's words, before Ling Xiao could say anything, she told him how Ling Xiao had defected.
"Oh, I misunderstood you, young man. I'm sorry, I just heard this little girl say that you're going to help Maya?”The old woman heard
After Liu Li's explanation, she was obviously relieved and said to Ling Xiao.
"Yes, no problem. I've heard of the Seven Star Sword long ago, but I don't really care about it. I'm also a famous swordsman.”Ling Xiao replied.
"That, that's great. However, this matter isn't easy.”the old granny said to Ling Xiao.
"It's nothing. Just leave it to me. If I don't succeed, you won't lose anything, right?”Ling Xiao said to them with a smile.
"Alright, in that case, Maya, take them to the Navy Dojo.”the old granny said to Maya.
"Oh, right! Old granny, can you prepare some supplies for me on the ship? We're almost out of things on the ship.”Ling Xiao suddenly interrupted.
"Alright, that's not a problem." The old lady agreed readily.
So the few of them followed Maya to the other side of the island.
"I'm really sorry, Ling Xiao. Because of our relationship, you're wanted.”Amber ran to Ling Xiao's side and said.
"It's nothing. It's just a wanted order. I'd rather not be a general than to help the Heavenly Dragon Tribe bully the civilians.”Ling Xiao said indifferently to Amber.
"Anyway, I still have to apologize to you.”Amber looked at Ling Xiao with a sincere gaze.
"Hey, hey, don't look at me like that. I don't have any special feelings.”Ling Xiao teased Hupo.
"What? You…”Amber shouted at Ling Xiao after she regained her senses.
"Actually, this is nothing. The important thing is that we're together now.”Ling Xiao seemed to be talking to himself, and also to Amber.
Amber also heard Ling Xiao's words and felt a warmth in her heart. He said to Ling Xiao,"From now on, our lives are yours."”
It was from this moment on that Amber truly treated Ling Xiao as her master. After all, his brother and sister's lives were saved by him. However, Ling Xiao did not treat Amber as his slave. He only treated her as a good brother. It was also because of this that Amber became Ling Xiao's left hand in the future.
"Everyone, we've arrived." Just as everyone was thinking about their own matters, they suddenly heard Maya's voice.
"Ha!" "Hah!" Ling Xiao looked at the dojo in front of him where the voice came from and thought,""Hehe, I didn't expect this dojo to be so decent. Kendo dojo, I'll be the one to cause trouble today.”
At the thought of this, a playful smile appeared on Ling Xiao's face as he strode into the Navy Dojo. Amber saw that Ling Xiao had already walked inside and told Maya and the others to wait outside. Then, she chased after Ling Xiao and ran inside.
Maya, Azurite, and Leon stood there and watched the two of them leave. The sunlight shone on Ling Xiao's body. It was as if Ling Xiao had donned a golden armor. The three of them looked at Ling Xiao's back and suddenly had a feeling.
"This person can definitely save them.”
