Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

"That's why I'm so bold as to ask you to stay with us for a while and help us resist this sudden and mysterious catastrophe. Once the disaster subsides, it won't be too late for you to set out on the journey to Huangyun City."

Hearing the earnest request from Patriarch Qingxuan.

Wang Zhan shook his head without hesitation and flatly refused, "No! I must return to Huangyun City as soon as possible. I have no idea what the situation is like there, and there are many people in the city eagerly awaiting my return. More importantly, all my loyal followers are now in Huangyun City. It is only right and proper for me to return there as soon as possible."

Seeing Wang Zhan's resolute attitude, the Qingxuan clan leader couldn't help but feel a flicker of disappointment. However, he didn't give up. Instead, he continued to persuade him earnestly, "Lord Zhan Huang, please reconsider! The journey from here to Huangyun City is long and arduous, with mountains and rivers high and deep. No one can guarantee that we won't encounter all kinds of unexpected difficulties, obstacles, and potential crises along the way."

"If you are willing to lend a hand and help our elves successfully overcome this difficult time, then our entire clan will be deeply grateful to you and will never forget you. We will then do our utmost to protect you and ensure your safe journey to Huangyun City."

Wang Zhan was slightly stunned after hearing this, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

However, in just a moment, his mind flashed with the expectant and anxious faces of the city's citizens, as well as the anxiously awaited figures of his subordinates, whose lives depended on him...

Thinking of this, Wang Zhan took a deep breath, shook his head, and said firmly again: "I'm sorry, Qingxuan clan leader, I can't stay here for too long no matter what. The safety of Huangyun City is always on my mind. I hope you can understand."

Hearing Wang Zhan's firm refusal, Qingxuan knew that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, it would be in vain.

He knew very well that if he continued to pester Wang Zhan, not only would he fail to change his decision, but it might also put both of them in an extremely embarrassing situation.

So, he could only sigh deeply and said helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, if you insist on returning to Huangyun City, could you please take Qingluo with you?"

Wang Zhan was very surprised by Qingxuan's request. He frowned and asked, "Why do you insist on me bringing Qingluo with me? The journey to Huangyun City is long and full of difficulties and dangers. Bringing a little girl along would probably cause a lot of inconveniences."

Facing Wang Zhan's doubts and concerns, Qing Xuan smiled bitterly and slowly explained, "To be honest, sir, our Qing Luo possesses a unique ability. Whenever she's near a source of danger, she can keenly sense any disturbance. However, it's precisely because of this unique ability that she's now coveted and coveted by those with ill intentions. Although my entire clan strives to protect her with all their might, it's ultimately difficult to resist the covetous gazes and prying eyes of those shadowy forces on all sides."

Having said this, Qing Xuan paused briefly, looked at Wang Zhan sincerely, and continued, "With your unfathomable strength, if you can bring Qing Luo safely to Huangyun City, I believe we can successfully avoid these potential threats and troubles. Moreover, if one day in the future, my elves are unfortunately faced with a catastrophic disaster and face a life-or-death situation, as long as my daughter Qing Luo can survive safely, then even if I pay the price with my own life, it will be a worthy death without regrets."

Wang Zhan frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. He stared into the eyes of the Qingxuan clan leader, which were filled with earnestness and deep worry, and a ripple of emotion could not help but rise in his heart.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I agree to take Miss Qingluo with me. But let me be frank, all I can guarantee is her safety on the road. As for the various matters that happen after arriving in Huangyun City, it all depends on her own opportunities and luck." Wang Zhan said seriously.

Upon hearing this reply, Chief Qingxuan was overjoyed and immediately called out to Qingluo to come over.

After a while, a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face came walking quickly towards her. It was her beloved daughter, Qingluo.

When she learned that she was about to leave this place with Wang Zhan, although her heart was filled with attachment and reluctance to her hometown and relatives and friends, she also understood that this was her father's request and she could not refuse.

"Lord Emperor Zhan, please take good care of my daughter Qingluo! Make sure she is safe!" On the eve of departure, Chief Qingxuan held Wang Zhan's hand tightly and gave him anxious instructions again.

From his anxious expression, one can clearly feel his deep and incomparable love for his beloved daughter.

After all, the father and daughter have lived together for so many years. Now they are suddenly faced with the pain of separation. How can they let go easily?

Facing the repeated instructions from the Qingxuan clan leader, Wang Zhan appeared remarkably calm. He patted the other's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, clan leader. As long as I'm here, Miss Qingluo will definitely not encounter any danger or accidents."

After saying that, he turned to look at Qingluo beside him, only to see this beautiful girl gazing at her father with tearful eyes reluctantly.

"Father..." Qingluo opened her red lips slightly, her voice trembling slightly, "I don't know when I will be able to return to visit you... But please believe that no matter how far or how long we are apart, my heart will always be with our warm home."

Before she finished speaking, crystal clear tears had already slowly slid down her pink cheeks.

The Qingxuan clan leader bit his lip tightly, trying hard to hold back the tears that threatened to burst out. With his slightly trembling mouth, he managed to force a bitter smile. He whispered to his graceful daughter, "My daughter, please don't worry about what's happening at home. Just stay with Lord Zhan Huang. If you have time, please remember to come home and visit us."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhan took Qingluo's hand and slowly embarked on the long journey to Huangyun City.

The carriage they were riding in was a gorgeous carriage that the Qingxuan clan leader had carefully prepared for a long time.

The carriage was filled with all kinds of delicious food, enough to keep the two of them entertained for several days.

With a final affectionate farewell, Wang Zhan and Qingluo quickly disappeared at the end of the road in the distance under the gaze of their guide Lingyin, whose seemingly calm but actually concerned eyes, and soon arrived at the vast grassland they had passed by before.

"Take care, both of you!" Lingyin stood there, shouting loudly with an expressionless face, but a hint of reluctance was revealed in the depths of her eyes.

Hearing this, Qingluo couldn't help but burst into tears. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and responded with a choked voice: "Goodbye, Sister Lingyin..."

After saying that, she and Wang Zhan beside her got on the carriage, raised the whip, and drove the horses to gallop towards Huangyun City.

During this long journey, the two of them had a great time talking, as if they had endless topics to talk about.

Wang Zhan's humorous words made Qingluo giggle from time to time, and the haze that had originally shrouded her heart due to separation from her family gradually dissipated.
