Inside a secluded villa in the core district of the Explorer's Guild, a man with white hair and eyebrows, but a vigorous spirit, who appeared young and whose age was hard to discern, walked in.
"Grandpa, you're back!"
Wu Ye Lin looked at the travel-worn Wu Ye Lan with great excitement, her eyes a little red.
"Xiao Lin, you're back?"
Seeing Wu Ye Lin, Wu Ye Lan's face showed a hint of surprise. "Xiao Lin, you didn't really find a Divine Rune Stone in the Giant Ruins, did you?"
"This... this is a long story..."
Wu Ye Lin didn't know how to explain. She looked at Wu Ye Lan with some confusion. "Grandpa, judging from your words just now, I shouldn't have returned?"
"This..."
Wu Ye Lan sighed. "According to my plan, you should be on your way to the Sea Restaurant by now!"
"What? The Sea Restaurant?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Wu Ye Lan's words, Wu Ye Lin was bewildered.
"This..."
Wu Ye Lan frowned, his expression perplexed, and finally sighed. "Xiao Lin, do you still have the letter I gave you? You'll know when you open it!"
"Letter?"
Wu Ye Lin had almost forgotten about it. Although she didn't get the Divine Rune Stone from the Giant Ruins, Ye Feng had given her a few, so she hadn't thought about the letter.
After all, Wu Ye Lan had told her to open it only if she absolutely couldn't get the Divine Rune Stone.
"Grandpa... you... this letter says I should... run away... or run away and live incognito, to seek refuge at the Sea Restaurant..."
"What... what is going on?"
Wu Ye Lin was confused after reading the letter.
"Xiao Lin, I actually didn't have much hope for the Giant Ruins... and the Divine Rune Stone... pack your things and leave with Lei Jian and Old Liu tomorrow!"
"The destination is still the Sea Restaurant. With what happened before, the Lord of the Sea Restaurant will take you in!"
"I will announce to the public that you accepted an urgent mission and unfortunately perished!"
Wu Ye Lan quickly said to Wu Ye Lin, his tone a little anxious.
"Wait... wait a minute, Grandpa, what... what happened to the Explorer's Guild?"
Wu Ye Lin was confused and worried.
"Is it the Divine Rune Stone? I have this thing!"
Wu Ye Lin's thoughts were a bit chaotic. As she spoke, her hand flashed, and a Divine Rune Stone appeared in her hand. "Grandpa, is this what a Divine Rune Stone looks like?"
"This..."
Seeing the white crystalline stone in his granddaughter's hand, Wu Ye Lan was stunned.
To be honest, he hadn't expected Wu Ye Lin to actually get a Divine Rune Stone, because he wasn't sure if there was one in the Giant Ruins... but he didn't expect Wu Ye Lin to have actually gotten one?
"This... this is indeed a Divine Rune Stone, but... it's so new... and it doesn't smell of earth..."
Wu Ye Lan looked at Wu Ye Lin with great curiosity. "Xiao Lin, this Divine Rune Stone... it's not from the Giant Ruins, is it?"
Wu Ye Lin fell silent. She didn't answer because Ye Feng had specifically instructed her not to reveal the source of the Divine Rune Stone.
Seeing this, Wu Ye Lan frowned but didn't press further.
"Grandpa, you must want this Divine Rune Stone to deal with a very powerful enemy... is it related to... the legendary gods?"
At this moment, Wu Ye Lin spoke again.
"Xiao Lin... you... how do you know this?"
Wu Ye Lan was very surprised. He looked at the Divine Rune Stone in his hand again, seeming to understand something, and a storm surged in his heart.
Because he realized that Wu Ye Lin might know a top expert who could make Divine Rune Stones... and they had a good relationship, enough for that person to give away something like a Divine Rune Stone...
Wu Ye Lin didn't speak. Her hand flashed again, and the remaining three Divine Rune Stones appeared in her hand...
"Xiao Lin, you're right... this Divine Rune Stone is indeed what I planned to use to deal with a very tricky fellow... and that person is indeed related to the gods..."
"This is also the most difficult situation our Explorer's Guild has encountered since its establishment... More than twenty years ago, I encountered something similar... I handled it with a few experts at that time, but this time..."
At this point, Wu Ye Lan changed the subject. "The person the Explorer's Guild is facing this time is the Divine Envoy Elias!"
"Divine Envoy?"
Hearing this, Wu Ye Lin became a little curious. "Is this Divine Envoy... related to a Divine Servant?"
"Uh, a Divine Envoy is... Wait a minute, Xiao Lin, how do you know the term Divine Servant?"
Wu Ye Lan was about to continue when he suddenly realized something was wrong, as he had never told his granddaughter this.
"Liu Uncle and I encountered it in the Giant Ruins. Divine Servants seem to be the three-headed hellhounds, giant monsters with three heads, extremely powerful, and can merge into the void... I'm not very clear about the details!"
"The three-headed hellhound later seemed to have been killed by Ye Feng!"
Wu Ye Lin briefly described the information about the Divine Servant she had heard from Ye Feng.
"This... you encountered a Divine Servant, and that senior named Ye Feng killed the Divine Servant and saved you..."
"Did he... did he use the Divine Rune Stone you have in your hand?"
Although Wu Ye Lin didn't elaborate, Wu Ye Lan had clearly formed his own conjectures.
"Senior... senior..."
Hearing his grandfather's address for Ye Feng, Wu Ye Lin's expression was a little strange.
"Ye Feng is not a senior... he... he is about my age... but he did kill the Divine Servant, I don't know how he did it..."
"The Huang family's Huang Hesang, the Hungry Wolf brothers, and some other members of the Huang family, who came looking for trouble with him, were also killed by him in return..."
Wu Ye Lin quickly explained.
"About your age? Did he revert to his youth?"
Obviously, Wu Ye Lan didn't really believe that Ye Feng was truly the same age as his granddaughter. Otherwise, even if he had cultivated from the womb, he wouldn't be so strong...
"Grandpa, what's the situation with the Divine Envoy Elias you just mentioned?"
Seeing that her grandfather seemed a bit dazed, Wu Ye Lin spoke out.
"Oh, a Divine Envoy is a level higher than a Divine Servant. It is said that they possess the power of true gods. I received news that a Divine Envoy named Elias has targeted the Explorer's Guild!"
"If I'm not mistaken, his main objective should be the same as the Divine Servant more than twenty years ago, which is the Strengthening Fruit..."
"To be honest, although I have some strength and have killed Divine Servants, facing a Divine Envoy... Shen Botian and that other person are not here..."
Wu Ye Lan's expression was somewhat bitter at the end.
"Let's not talk about this anymore..."
Wu Ye Lan looked at Wu Ye Lin with a serious expression. "Xiao Lin, go pack your things and leave tomorrow!"
