Xuan Xu and Qing Lin—these were names that came from the old man's mouth.
Tang Ruoling had her suspicions, so she decided to go with the flow and act the part to see how the elderly man would react.
Fortunately, the old man harbored no suspicions toward them. Hearing the question posed by Tang Ruoling, the old man simply sighed and said, "The battle is pressing; they have gone to guard our homeland."
Battle? Which battle involving the Long Clan?
The old man's choice of words, "guarding our homeland," suggested that the Long Clan might even be at a disadvantage in this war.
Legend has it that the Long Clan is the most powerful of races, so who could their enemy be?
As Tang Ruoling pondered these questions, she went along and asked, "Will they be coming back?"
"Yes, child, don't worry too much."
The old man's face bore a smile, but there was a distinct sadness in his eyes.
Clearly, the chances of these Long Clan members surviving were not high.
"Then...can we go and help?"
