Gao Wu: You broke off the engagement at my 100th birthday banquet, do you dare take my punch?

Seeing that the guards had already woken up.

The elven saintess Lani quickly ran over and pulled the guard aside to explain what had just happened.

"Like this, like this, like this..."

After some explanation, the matter was finally clarified before the guard could speak.

Upon hearing this, the guard suddenly understood.

"Oh, so you're the one who stole the Seed of Life?"

She glared at Qin Changsheng, burning with anger.

"Thief! Prepare to die!"

As she spoke, she was about to fight Qin Changsheng again.

Qin Changsheng was speechless, and then punched the maid unconscious again.

The maid acted too quickly.

Neither the elven saintess Lani nor Qin Changsheng had a chance to explain.

Qin Changsheng had no other choice.

"Are you out of your mind, you guard?"

Lani looked a little embarrassed, her expression innocent.

Although the other party did mean well.

But it often leads to bad things.

"Um... I'm sorry."

Lani quickly apologized.

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with it."

Here, take the stuff. Do what you want with it.

Qin Changsheng didn't take it to heart.

With the power he gained, Qin Changsheng's mind also broadened.

For minor offenses, just kill them.

This is nothing.

Lani held the Seed of Life, looked at Qin Changsheng, and hesitated to speak.

"What are you trying to say?"

Qin Changsheng looked at Lani.

I always felt that this woman couldn't say anything nice.

"I need your help to escort me to the Tree of Life. Please!"

Lani quickly bowed, afraid that Qin Changsheng would refuse.

Qin Changsheng really wanted to refuse.

He's only a seventh-rank official; he could barely handle an eighth-rank official.

There are probably quite a few Rank 8 beings in the ancient city of elves right now.

There are still ninth-rank soldiers fighting.

If he is discovered, he will probably have a hard time getting away with it.

Not to mention he also has to deal with two troublesome figures: the elven saintess Lani and the Seed of Life.

To get closer to the ancient elven tree is an even bigger problem.

What's the difference between that and walking right into a trap?

"...I refuse."

Qin Changsheng remained expressionless.

This is an elven matter; he would never risk his life.

As for whether or not one has compassion, etc.

Qin Changsheng certainly has it.

But that's within my own capabilities.

If the people fighting in the ancient city of elves now are seventh-rank and sixth-rank.

After considering it for a moment, Qin Changsheng agreed.

But those were all eighth and ninth grade officials.

"All right."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Lani didn't press the issue.

She carried the seed of life, said nothing more, and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Lani was giving up, Qin Changsheng was somewhat surprised and asked, "Where are you planning to go?"

Lani thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, let's find a place to settle down first."

"If given the chance, I will try to revive the Elven race."

As for how to revive the Elven race, she didn't say, and Qin Changsheng naturally wouldn't ask.

It seems the elves do indeed have a backup plan, and it lies with this Lani.

"Okay, have a safe trip."

Qin Changsheng didn't say much.

Lani nodded.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked, "By the way, sir, what brings you to the Elven realm?"

"I think you must be human?"

As the holy maiden of the Elven race, Lani finally remembered the proper way to treat guests.

Qin Changsheng said, "The first thing to do upon arriving here is to return the Seed of Life."

"The second thing is to bring this guy here to apologize."

"The third thing is to negotiate an alliance between the humans and the elves."

The first task is complete.

The Seed of Life is already in the hands of the elven saintess Lani.

Qin Changsheng grabbed Wang Erniu, who was standing to the side, and looked at Lani.

"Let him say it himself."

Lani looked at Wang Erniu with a puzzled expression.

Wang Erniu told the story again.

Finally, she sincerely said, "I'm sorry, my mother's mistake may have caused you a lot of trouble."

"She spent the rest of her life in repentance."

As for how to compensate, Wang Erniu did not say.

He didn't have much to offer in terms of compensation.

Lani paused, looking at Wang Erniu.

"So you're Fei'er's child."

"The Seed of Life was indeed stolen by Phil back then."

Qin Changsheng was somewhat surprised.

Lani's appearance suggests that she knows Wang Erniu's mother.

Do you know my mother?

Wang Erniu was equally puzzled.

Lani gave a wry smile and explained, "Because I am the Holy Maiden of the Elven race."

"When she left quietly back then, I thought she had gone missing in danger, and I was heartbroken for a long time."

"I never expected it to be like this."

Qin Changsheng never expected that the girl in front of him was old enough to be Wang Erniu's mother.

But considering the average lifespan of elves, it seems quite normal.

Humans typically live for no more than a hundred years, while the Blood God race lives a little longer, for two or three hundred years.

The average lifespan of elves is over five hundred years.

If one takes care of their health, they can avoid disasters and even live for a thousand years.

This is even without any real strength.

The elven saintess looks young, but she might actually be a hundred-year-old woman.

"……terribly sorry."

Wang Erniu scratched his head and apologized again helplessly.

Lani shook her head, not taking it to heart.

"It's alright, it's all in the past."

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"Besides, it was Fei'er who made the mistake, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

She glanced at the ancient city of elves and smiled bitterly.

"There's no point in talking about this now."

"The elves have fallen. If the Seed of Life had remained, this wouldn't have happened."

Lani was filled with self-blame.

"this……"

Wang Erniu looked somewhat embarrassed and glanced at Qin Changsheng.

Although Lani said she didn't blame them.

But no matter how you think about it.

The fact that the Elven race has fallen to its current state is largely due to the mistakes his mother made back then.

Anyone with a sense of responsibility would want to help solve this problem as compensation.

But what does this have to do with Qin Changsheng?

Qin Changsheng remained calm and unmoved.

Lani withdrew her gaze and looked at Wang Erniu, her eyes surprisingly filled with affection.

"Seeing Fei'er's child grow up to be this big is a wish that has been fulfilled for me."

"Let's part ways here. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

She waved and prepared to leave.

Of course, she didn't forget to bring her bodyguard, Mel.

Qin Changsheng glanced at Wang Erniu and sneered, "It's all your fault."

Wang Erniu had a headache and said helplessly, "I didn't know things would turn out like this."

"Besides, I'm also a victim, what does it have to do with me?"

Although it is said that children should pay for their fathers' debts, the Elf race and the Blood God race are separated by thousands of miles.

Wang Erniu wasn't some eighth or ninth-grade expert, and he had no idea that the Elf race would be in this situation today.

The seed of life was never in his hands.

He was indeed innocent.

"Alright, the matter is resolved. Can you leave now?"

Wang Erniu was annoyed and stopped thinking about it.

Qin Changsheng considered it for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, let's go."

Given the state of the Elven race, there's no way to discuss an alliance.

Although the current Blood Elves are also of the Elf race, they implicitly agree to form an alliance with the Forest Elves.

Blood Elves certainly don't count.
