Chapter 29 Craving the Magic Circle of the Knight's Holy Mountain
Chapter 29 Craving the Magic Circle of the Knight's Holy Mountain
The reason for this simultaneous reaction is that Long Haochen knows Bai Xi very well and knows that she is unlikely to choose to follow Long Xingyu.
He couldn't bear to leave his parents, but he couldn't bear to leave Bai Xi even more, so this time he wanted to choose to stay with Bai Xi.
And he really understood Bai Xi; Bai Xi didn't intend to stay by Long Xingyu's side.
"What, you don't want to come with us?"
Long Xingyu immediately sensed their reluctance; the guy was angry again.
He felt that Bai Xi and Long Haochen had grown too big for their britches and wanted to fly away.
The two fell silent.
"Chenchen, Xixi, don't you want to come home with us?"
Bai Yue was even more reluctant to part with the two children. When she saw that they were unwilling to go with Long Xingyu, she also wanted to stay.
“If you’re not going back, then Mom won’t go either. Mom will stay with you.”
"Yue!"
Long Xingyu panicked.
He was also exhausted. With a family of four, he felt so superfluous!
Is this the retribution for not finding them in time, for not recognizing them in time? You have to swallow the bitter fruit of your own actions, no matter how bitter it may be.
"Anyway, I'm going to be with Chenchen and Xixi. I can't bear to part with them. You didn't have us for those ten years, so you must have gotten used to it by now."
Bai Yue didn't care about Long Xingyu; he was a grown man, and she didn't need to take care of him. She only needed to look after her two children, who were both under twelve years old and at an age when they needed their mother's love.
Seeing the three of them so close, Long Xingyu's head ached even more. He didn't care about anything else and immediately became forceful.
“All three of you must come back to the Holy City with me. Only there can you get the best resources, education, and protection.”
"Xi Xi?"
Long Haochen looked at Bai Xi with a hint of probing.
Just by hearing his tone, Bai Xi could guess all his thoughts; he was really easy to guess.
He was persuaded by Long Xingyu and also wanted to convince Bai Xi.
"Let's go to Knight's Holy Mountain first. If you're still willing to take us back then, we'll go back together."
For Bai Yue and Long Haochen's sake, Bai Xi finally relented.
She thought, this must be what family love is.
Upon hearing Bai Xi agree, Long Xingyu was overjoyed and presented her with the gift he had prepared for a long time.
"Last year I gave Haochen a Sacred Spirit Furnace, so I can't be biased towards him. Here, you can have this necklace. It's not anything special, but you can make do with it for now."
The necklace that Long Xingyu mentioned wasn't anything special, but he had clearly done his research. The color was Bai Xi's favorite sapphire blue, and the style also matched Bai Xi's aesthetic.
Moreover, this is clearly a defensive device that will automatically deploy a shield when encountering a powerful attack.
"Thank you, Lao Long, I really like this."
Bai Xi immediately put on the necklace.
Long Xingyu's attitude towards his son and daughter is completely different.
The Holy Spirit Furnace given to Long Haochen was meant to attract attacks, while the defensive equipment given to Bai Xi was meant to protect her.
Perhaps Long Xingyu also felt that Bai Xi was too reckless and was afraid that she would ruin her own life.

Knight's Holy Mountain is located in the northeast corner of the Temple Alliance, adjacent to the Knight's Temple.
It is a magical place founded by the ancestors of the Knights' Temple, built on mountains as its foundation, and constructed through the efforts of several generations.
The entire mountain range itself is a giant magic circle. As long as they are within the Holy Mountain's range, all magical beasts, regardless of their grade, will feel a sense of closeness to humans, while their own power will be suppressed.
This will better help the knights obtain mounts. "Daddy, what kind of mounts will we get? Are there any beautiful magical beasts inside? Xixi only likes beautiful magical beasts. She had her eye on Sister Li Xin's rose unicorn before."
Bored on the journey, Long Haochen asked Long Xingyu about Bai Xi out of curiosity and revealed her shortcomings.
"A large portion of magical beasts are beautiful. If she likes the Rose Unicorn, she will definitely also like the Starry Unicorn, which is the most beautiful of all unicorns."
"But just choosing the pretty ones isn't enough. This is about choosing a mount, so you have to choose the one that suits you best."
As he spoke, Long Xingyu explained to them how to choose a mount, doing so very carefully and attentively.
This mount will accompany them for life, so they can't be careless.
Soon, they arrived at the Holy Mountain of Knights.
The entire area of Knight's Holy Mountain was filled with light elements so dense they were almost tangible, and they frantically burrowed into the bodies of the people who approached.
"This magic circle is really effective. If only I could learn it and have the energy to replicate it!"
Bai Xi reached out a hand and gently touched the pale golden mist in front of her. This was all light element! She was so envious that tears were about to fall from the corners of her mouth, and she couldn't help but have such a bold idea in her mind.
And that was the purpose of her trip.
Because of the Vermilion Bird, Bai Xi knew she wouldn't get a mount.
However, she still came to Knight's Holy Mountain. Besides accompanying Long Haochen, the main reason was that she had taken a liking to the magic circle there.
"Common name."
A deep, aged voice interrupted Bai Xi's thoughts.
An aged figure slowly emerged from the front, his body appearing as part of a pale golden mist, his aura completely concealed by the mist.
The old man was somewhat hunchbacked, and he wasn't wearing armor or even samurai attire; he was simply dressed in gray cloth.
The old man had only one arm; his left arm was severed at the elbow, his right eye was blind, and there was a huge scar on his face that stretched from the top of his head to his jaw, as if his skull had been split open.
Upon seeing the old man, Long Xingyu bowed politely.
Bai Xi and the other two naturally followed suit and bowed as well.
The person who commands such respect from Long Xingyu, a Divine Knight, must be no ordinary individual; he must be someone revered by all.
"You are……"
When the old man saw Long Xingyu, who was in the lead, he felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.
The next moment, Long Xingyu's name reminded the old man of when he had seen him before.
"Long Xingyu of the Knights Temple, along with his son Long Haochen and Bai Xi, have come to Knights' Holy Mountain to select mounts and companions."
Long Xingyu spoke very respectfully and took out two scrolls, handing them to the old man.
"So it was you. You have a child now."
The old man took the scroll, but did not rush to read it.
Instead, they turned their admiring gaze to this family of four.
The first time he met Long Xingyu was forty or fifty years ago. Long Xingyu was only a teenager at the time and had come to choose a mount companion.
"You really surprised me a lot back then."
The reason why Long Xingyu could be remembered by this old man was naturally because he was talented enough.
At this moment, after reading the scroll, the old man turned his gaze to Long Haochen and Bai Xi.
"I hope your child will surprise me even more."
As he spoke, he waved to Long Haochen and Bai Xi.
“Little children of the Long family, let this old man feel your bone age.”
