Chapter 2607 Ling Tian's unwavering goal!
"Is Big Brother leaving?"
Lin Qi stared blankly at Ling Tian, her eyes filled with reluctance and a hint of confusion.
After all, from the very beginning, Lin Qi had always thought that Ling Tian wanted to go to the Central City to improve his cultivation level and eventually reside there.
But now Ling Tian is saying something crucial about leaving. Could it be that he never intended to stay in Central City from the beginning?
Just as Lin Qi was wondering, Ling Tian smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "You, I've been hiding it all this time so you wouldn't overthink it or have too many ideas. But now that we're in the central city, there's no need to hide it anymore."
Ling Tian's tone suddenly turned serious, making Lin Qi's heart skip a beat as she sensed something was wrong.
He suddenly felt that Ling Tian was really leaving, and going to some very important place, so Lin Qi couldn't help but feel nervous and wanted to know where Ling Tian was going.
Just then, Ling Tian looked at Lin Qi and said in a low voice, "I don't belong here. I come from another world. I entered the Apocalypse Space and came to the Central Continent because of an accident. My goal has always been to return to my own world."
“My wife is there too. I came here only to improve my cultivation level, but now I’ve wasted too much time, and the only way to leave is through the central city. That’s why I’m so anxious to go to the central city so that I can return to my original world and be back with my wife.”
Ling Tian's words left Lin Qi stunned, completely bewildered.
Lin Qi really didn't expect that Ling Tian wasn't one of them.
So... he came to Central City to return to his own world?
Just as Lin Qi was wondering, Ling Tian continued, "I only know that you can leave the Apocalypse Space from the Central City, but I don't know how to leave. So I need to prepare for my departure soon. So... if you feel that there's no need to follow me, you can go do your own thing."
“I know you’ve always wanted to improve your cultivation level, and now that you’re in the central city, you must have countless ways to do so. I believe it won’t be difficult for you, so you can do what you want. I won’t blame you.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi suddenly came to his senses and looked at Ling Tian, saying, "Big brother, are you going to abandon me?"
“I’m not abandoning you.” Ling Tian smiled and shook his head. “I’m just giving you a choice, a chance to make your own choice. You can’t live for me forever. Now that you’ve come to the Central City, it’s a paradise for martial artists, so… you can move forward on your own.”
"I do not want!"
Upon hearing Ling Tian's words, Lin Qi instinctively shook his head in refusal: "I don't want to be separated from my brother. Even if my brother eventually leaves the central city, I want to stay with him until the end. I can also help my brother search. I will never let you search alone!"
"Besides, big brother, I didn't come to Central City to become stronger. I just wanted to see you reach the pinnacle. Although the final outcome may differ from your expectations, I would be incredibly happy to help you fulfill your wish. I would also feel that I have served my purpose. So, big brother, don't push me away. Let me help you!"
After Lin Qi finished speaking, as if afraid that Ling Tian would drive him away, he slowly knelt down in front of Ling Tian: "Big brother, let me continue to protect you, let me continue to follow you, okay? Give me this chance, give me a chance to show myself!"
At this moment, Ling Tian was genuinely moved.
He thought Lin Qi knew he would eventually leave the Apocalypse Space and would abandon him to find his own path, but he didn't expect that Lin Qi would want to stay with him until the end.
Seeing Lin Qi's current state made Ling Tian feel even more strongly that bringing Lin Qi along was the most important decision he had ever made in his life.
After a moment of reflection, Ling Tian smiled slightly, reached out and helped Lin Qi up, saying, "Alright, there's no need to take it so seriously. Since you want to follow me and think I won't affect you, then of course I'm willing to let you follow."
"Hehe, my brother won't affect me. If it weren't for him, I'd probably still be selling things at a stall, living a predictable life forever, hehe~"
"Hahaha, okay." Ling Tian smiled, the image of Lin Qi setting up his stall flashing through his mind.
Lin Qi's appearance back then was truly memorable, and he certainly doesn't look like this now.
It seems that my arrival in the Apocalypse Space has had the biggest impact on Lin Qi.
That's good. Having someone to keep me company will make finding a way to leave easier.
After Ling Tian agreed, he looked at Lin Qi and said, "Alright, since you've decided to help me, you continue gathering intelligence. I'd like to go out and explore first, and then we'll meet at home tonight to exchange information."
"No problem! Big brother, I'll definitely gather the intelligence properly!"
Seeing Lin Qi's serious expression, Ling Tian smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned and left the house.
Ling Tian knew he couldn't possibly get any useful information on his first day here, but he couldn't stay at home forever either, so he decided to go out and explore the city center.
After all, the middle-aged man he met in the passage today seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he harbored hostility towards the demon beasts. Moreover, the thing they were worried about seemed to come from the demon beasts. Therefore, Ling Tian wanted to know the truth of all this and figure out what they were planning.
So after leaving the house, Ling Tian didn't go straight outside, but instead wandered around the neighborhood.
There are quite a few Saint Realm experts in this area. Although they may come from other places, they can definitely gather some useful information.
Ling Tian strolled around the neighborhood and finally stopped by the small river within the neighborhood.
The river in front of us is only three or four meters wide, and the water is so clear that you can clearly see several goldfish swimming around in it.
Of course, Ling Tian didn't stop to fish or admire the fish, but because of an old man sitting by the river.
The other party's realm was the same as his own, at the peak of the Saint Realm, and he looked to be around eighty or ninety years old. So Ling Tian set his sights on the other party, simply because he guessed that the other party was knowledgeable and experienced.
Ling Tian watched the goldfish by the river for a while, then turned his head and found the old man quietly watching him.
Their eyes met, and Ling Tian didn't show any extra expression or emotion. He just smiled faintly and nodded: "Hello, grandpa."
"Hmm," the old man responded, then pointed to the goldfish in the river and said, "You...are interested in these?"
