C167 The Newborn Grey Valley(part I)

"Let's not talk anymore. We should hurry up and inform Village Chief Parick."

Dare's return was undoubtedly a golden age for the village. All the elves were alarmed, and Papparek also came wobbling out on his crutches to greet him.

"Father …" Darl's voice trembled as he called out to him, and he hurried over to Papparel.

"Grandpa Paparic …" Roark gave a happy cry, and together with Darl, they came to Papparek's side, one on each side, the two elves reaching out to support the old man.

Papparek's eyes turned red, he gently stroked Little Loke's head, and then turned to look at his own son, his voice trembling, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back …"

"Thank you, Miss Ye. Otherwise, I'm afraid that my son wouldn't have the chance to come back and see my father and everyone else." Dare knew in his heart that if not for Zi Ling, he would have already been manipulated by that monster and lost consciousness forever. It was no different from death.

After Dare finished speaking, Paparic's gaze turned to Zi Ling. His old face was even more ridged than three years ago, and his eyes were getting more and more cloudy. "Miss Ye, the great favor you have done for our family, for the entire Grayvale sect, I'm afraid we won't even know about it in our next lives."

Zi Ling waved her hand. "Village Head, you're being too serious. I'm just taking it easy."

All of his gratitude fell upon his heart. He nodded his head and didn't say anything more. He immediately instructed the other elves to hold a grand banquet to welcome Zi Ling and the others.

"That's right, Grandpa Paparek, why haven't we seen Sister Nina?" Loke had always regarded Nina as his own older sister. Now that he had seen all of the elves in the village, but Nina was nowhere to be seen, Loke could not help but ask out of curiosity.

Dare also said, "Where did that girl Nina go crazy again?" He hadn't seen his precious daughter for four or five years, so the urgency in his heart could be imagined.

Before he could say anything, Nina's best friend, Annie, had already drilled out from the group of Elves. "Uncle Dar, I'm afraid that you won't be able to see Nina anymore …"

Darl's heart skipped a beat, but seeing how Annie was smiling, he knew it couldn't be a bad thing. He said, "Little Annie has grown up too, she'll be joking with Uncle Darl."

Annie drooped her head shyly and said, "Uncle Dare, what I said was true. Nina is married, so you won't be able to see her for the time being."

"Married?" Darl's eyes widened in surprise and he turned to look at his father.

"Yes, Nina did marry. I don't know when your father will come back, but I will be the one in charge to marry him."

As she spoke till this point, Zi Ling already understood a little. The corner of her mouth gently curled into a smile. Pearl took a step forward, "How is that possible? It's only been three years, how could she marry someone? It can't be Ace, right? "

Pearl's questions filled the elves with laughter, and Darl asked, "Ace? "Who is Ace?"

He could not remember a young elf named Ace from their Grayvale sect.

"Ace is a good elf. He really likes Nina, which is why I married her to him."

"Then which village's Elf is he from? Father, quickly tell me. I still want to see my Nina as soon as possible." Darl asked impatiently.

All the elves stared at him with wide eyes. There was a hint of good-will and teasing in their eyes. Darl was even more confused.

"Darl, Ace is the new king of our Elven Kingdom."

Athy frowned as he heard Dudian's words. There was surprise in his eyes but it was mostly worry. "Father, tell me what happened."

After nodding his head, he turned to Zi Ling and the others and said, "I've been having the elves clean your tree house. It's very clean. You can go back and rest."

Zi Ling nodded, "Thank you." With that, he led Pearl and the Shadow away, while Locke and Darl stayed behind with Paparek and the others.

Paparic brought Darl back to their new home in the forest of Yongge.

"Father, Miss Ye has told me everything that happened in the Grayvale sect, but what happened to this elf called Ace?" It was only then that he followed him back to his new home. He didn't even have the time to observe it before he began to question him. How could he remember that the Elf who appeared in Yongye City three years ago was called Ace, and he would not connect him with his daughter.

"Darl, don't worry. Nina and Ace are really in love, and Ace is also a pretty good elf. They are living happily together."

Ace had been king of the Elven Kingdom for almost two years. Three months after he had ascended the throne, he had married Nina, and Papparek had visited his granddaughter in the Imperial City. The happiness on her face showed that she was living well. Nina couldn't bear to part with the spirits of the Grayvale sect, but she was truly happy to be with Ace.

As long as his granddaughter was happy, nothing mattered.

"No, I have to go and take a look." With just the words from his father, Dare was still worried. However, he didn't think that his daughter had already been married for more than a year.

While Paparic and Dare were explaining Nina's whereabouts, Zhu'er and the Shadow Devil behind Zi Ling were also chattering non-stop.

"I really didn't expect that this fellow Athy would be so fast. He actually married Nina over a year ago."

"How can it be fast? It's been three years, okay?" The Shadow Devil had been trapped in Eternal Night City for three years, so it was bored to death. Naturally, it felt like three years was a long time, and in its opinion, not to mention Nina marrying Ace, it would even be enough to give birth to a little baby.

Jewel stared at the Shadow Devil for a moment, and did not pay any more attention to him. Instead, he turned to Zi Ling, "Miss, where are we going next?"

No one could guess what Zi Ling was thinking, and Zhu Er naturally did not know what Zi Ling was planning to do next.

Zi Ling rubbed the head of the Tiger Archer at her side. The Tiger Archer comfortably nudged her palm.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here." Zi Ling casually said.

She really didn't plan to take the initiative, as her Aurous Core stage cultivation needed to be stabilized. Although she wasn't afraid that the Ye Family Ancestor would come looking for her, with her current cultivation level, it wasn't wise for her to provoke him.

That night, the Elves of the Grayvale sect held a grand banquet. The size of this banquet was naturally incomparable to the banquet held in the true Grayvale sect. The Grayvale sect was destitute back then, and the current Grayvale sect was the Queen's home.

Ever since Zi Ling returned to the forest, she discovered that the Grayvale sect had become much more magnificent compared to before. There were guards patrolling the area.

She did not attend the banquet, but stayed by herself in the tree house to meditate. As the bright moonlight scattered into the room, there were also sounds of laughter.

For the purple silk, it was the same everywhere. However, for Zhu Er and the Shadow Devil, this place was much more interesting than Eternal Night City. The two of them had not cultivated since they returned to the Fairy Realm, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Zi Ling did not try to interfere with their cultivation, as they had been very diligent during the three years in Eternal Night City.

Only Loke, even after returning to his own clan, continued to cultivate every day, consulting the purple silk on some of the cultivation problems he had accumulated over the years.

That day, Zi Ling had finished answering all of Loke's questions. Seeing that Loke was still hesitating to leave, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Loke nodded. "Master, is Lian Na unconscious now?"

Zi Ling nodded, "She can be considered unconscious because she fell into a deep sleep. Before she finds the host body, she will not wake up. Furthermore, even if she wakes up in the future, she will also lose consciousness."

Locke's eyes darkened. "I see, so how do I find out what she can host?"

"You don't need to find it. With your current cultivation, you won't be able to find it." Zi Ling looked at him. "You don't have to worry. Maybe finding a host body later is a good thing for her."

There was a profound meaning behind Violet Ling's words that Locke did not understand. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a commotion from outside.

Zi Ling shifted her gaze from Loke's face and said softly, "It seems an old friend has come."

"Old friends?" Loke immediately walked to the window of the tree house and looked down, his eyes wide. "Master, it's big brother Ace. Oh …" "No, the king."

Locke also knew that Ace had become the king of their Elven nation, and although he found it inconceivable, the facts were laid bare before him.

A short while later, Ace, supported by his squire, entered the purple silk tree house.

Arce waved his hand to stop the others, "You don't have to follow me."

"But, Your Majesty …" The guard leader was about to ask to follow them when Athy ordered, "None of you are allowed to take even half a step near the tree base. Step down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The leader of the guards and the guards all left the tree house. Ace then lifted the luxurious beast skin cloak and turned to leave.

Not long after, Ace arrived at the treehouse, and upon seeing Loke, nodded his head lightly.

Zi Ling glanced at him, still sitting on the same spot, "This result is much faster than I expected."

Accius smiled and nodded. He then turned to Loke and asked, "Little Loke, can you leave for a while?"

Loke answered with an "Oh," and said, "Ok, I'll go down first." With that, he glanced at Zi Ling before turning around and leaving the tree house.

After Loke left, the man and the elf in the tree house looked each other in the eye for a moment. Ace first laughed. What he meant was that his current status had drastically changed, but in Zi Ling's eyes, it was still nothing. There was no fear, reverence, or even respect in the eyes of an ordinary elf.

Her eyes remained flat and emotionless. "You've changed a lot."

Ace laughed, "You should have guessed it when I got the King's Scepter, right?"

"That's right, but I didn't expect you to get what you wanted so quickly." To be honest, Zilch didn't think highly of Ace. If he had the strength, he wouldn't have been hunted down like that. But who would have thought that in the short span of three years since he obtained the Scepter, not only did he hold the royal authority in his hands, he even married his beloved wife.

"This is also a loss to an old friend of yours. Without him, I would not be here right now." Ace looked into Violet's eyes and smiled.
