Episode 4: Dragon Blood Warriors Chapter 1: Returning Home (above)

The courtyard wall of Alice’s mansion was only two meters high, and Linley walked to the courtyard wall and stomped his feet, and then with a point on the wall, the entire person landed on the balcony where Alice was, just like a flying eagle that had spread its wings.

“Quickly crouch down.”

Alice hurriedly pulled Linley.

Linley suspiciously squatted and sat down.

“Shhh.”

Alice discreetly glanced downwards before saying to Linley with a long sigh of relief, “Luckily, the gatekeeper is asleep, if he saw me, then I’d be in trouble.”

Linley drifted off.

“Let’s sit down and talk, the parapet wall of the balcony is in the way, no one else can see it.”

Alice smiled smugly, like a cunning little fox. Casually wiping the floor with the burlap on the balcony, Alice and Linley took their seats on the ground.

Being able to see Alice made Linley’s heart happy.

“Big brother Linley, it’s late at night, why are you still out on the streets? By the way, didn’t you say you were from the Ernst Academy? Why are you in Finlay City now?”

Alice curiously asked several questions in one breath.

Why in Finlay City?

Linley was embarrassed in his heart, he couldn’t say that he had gone to Aqua Paradise with his three brothers.

“I went to Finlay City with a few of my brothers for a visit, and at night, I was bored out of my mind, so I came out for a stroll.”

Linley could only answer vaguely.

Alice nodded.

“Alice, it’s late at night, why aren’t you sleeping?”

Linley sniffed suspiciously.

Alice helplessly skimmed her mouth, “I went to bed early, but when I was sleeping soundly I was stirred up by my drunken father, you don’t know how excessive my father is, gambling every day, drinking every day, and drunkenly making a scene in the house. It’s so annoying.”

“I’m also unlucky to have met such a father, big brother Linley, what about you? How is your father?”

Alice looked towards Linley, who was sitting beside her.

“My father?”

Linley’s mind couldn’t help but recall some of the things he had done with his father since he was a child, “My father doesn’t gamble, and even if he drinks, he doesn’t get drunk, but my father he’s been very strict with my education since I was a child.”

Alice sighed enviously, “Big brother Linley you’re too happy, which is like me.”

Under the late night moonlight, the teenager and the young girl were chatting with each other on the balcony, talking about education from their father, talking about their academy from education, talking about their good friends from their academy, and then talking about some of the interesting things they had done with their own friends ……

Linley talked happily, and with the long conversation, Linley became more and more familiar with Alice’s life.

Gradually, the long night passed, in the eastern sky rose a hint of fish-belly white, the whole earth is filled with the fresh air of the morning, talking in the middle of the night Lin Lei and Alice, but did not feel the passage of time in the slightest, only when the day dawned, the duo reacted.

“Ah, it’s dawn.”

Linley only noticed the time at this time.

Alice had similarly only just reacted, “Sorry ah, letting big brother Linley keep you company for most of the night.”

Suddenly both Linley and Alice stopped talking, and there was a period of awkward silence.

“En, I should go.”

Sensing that the atmosphere was somewhat abnormal, Linley couldn’t help but feel a little flustered in his heart, so he simply stood up.

“Big brother Linley, will you still come to Finlay City in the future?”

Alice asked after him.

“Will, will come sometime.”

Linley finished speaking with his hands propped up on the balcony, his entire body doing a flip in the air before landing on the courtyard wall, slamming a point on the wall, his entire body leaping out in one fell swoop. Landing on the street a dozen meters away.

Linley didn’t look back, sparingly waving goodbye behind him.

Alice watched as Linley’s figure disappeared at the end of the street before she entered her room in frustration.

The sun in late August was as hot as a large ball of fire, and Linley set off for his hometown of ”Wushan Town” directly after having lunch with his three brothers, and on the roadway, Linley marched forward with a parcel containing magical crystal cores valued at more than seventy thousand gold coins on his back.

“Squeak,” Bebe squeaked excitedly on Linley’s shoulder as well.

Linley glanced at Bebe and smiled as well, his soul communication inquiring, “Bebe, you’re happy to be back in Wushan Town as well? By the way, I never asked you, how did you end up in the middle of my family’s abandoned ancestral home in the first place?”

“Don’t know yea.”

Bei Bei shook his head helplessly, “I’ve been in the middle of Boss your family’s ancestral house since I can remember, and I don’t know who my parents are, but there’s always been a voice in my memories that seems to say, ‘stay here, don’t run around’.”

“Stay here and don’t run around?”

Linley’s heart stirred.

This voice, could it be left behind by Bebe’s parents?

“In the beginning, I ate rocks, following that voice I didn’t dare to leave your family’s ancestral house, and then boss you gave me pheasants and rabbits to eat, and in this world you’re the only one who treats me the best, I don’t want to leave boss.”

Bei Bei wrinkled his little nose.

Linley also recalled that scene from back then.

Back then, Beibei had indeed hesitated for a while at the entrance to the village of Wushan Town, and only after finally seeing that he was really going to leave did he bite himself and conclude a soul contract.

“Okay, Bebe, we’ll always be together.”

Linley dotingly stroked Bebe’s head, and Bebe squinted comfortably.

Linley didn’t walk too fast, advancing at a speed of twenty miles an hour, and when he reached the edge of Wushan Town, it was already late afternoon. As he advanced towards Wushan Town, Linley also heard the familiar voice – “One by one, straighten your backs, don’t bend down, and whoever’s butt touches the tree branches below and dyes the paint will be considered in violation. Training is doubled!”

Uncle Hillman’s voice could be heard from a long way off.

Linley looked toward a short distance away.

In that familiar open space on the eastern edge of Wushan Town, beside the row of aspen trees, it was a group of children between the ages of six or seven and fifteen or sixteen divided into three teams, training hard under the stern supervision of three instructors, including Hillman, their sweat making each teenager’s clothes soaked through.

“Back then, I trained the same way.”

Seeing this scene, Linley was overcome with emotion.

“Linley?”

Hillman saw Linley from a long distance away, casually explaining to Rory and Roger next to him, he immediately ran towards Linley, directly coming into a bear hug with him.

“Uncle Hillman, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

Linley was also delighted.

“Haha, go, go home first, Lord Hogg will be very happy to see you.”

Hillman said smilingly, and then Hillman walked with Linley towards the interior of Wushan Town.

“Young Master Linley.”

Luo Rui and Luo Jie also greeted warmly from a long distance.

“Uncle Luo Rui, Uncle Roger.”

Linley also waved his hand in greeting before walking towards his family residence with Hillman.

“Linley, you’re still bringing packages back, so bulging, what’s inside?”

Hillman couldn’t help but notice the package on Linley’s back and inquired with a smile.

Linley smiled mysteriously, “A gift, a gift for my father!”
