Chapter 1133 - A Story about the Dragon King (1/2)

Since that was what Hua Lin Yu wanted, the five of them first flew toward Xin Lan's house, taking a look at it. Seeing that there wasn't much inside, Hua Lin Yu indeed wasn't interested anymore since he could see that what Xin Lan had said was indeed right: This wasn't an actual home but just an empty place that he hadn't even gotten the time to set up in a way that he liked.

Hua Lin Yu couldn't help but think about that for some more time though. Whether it was back at the Hua family's estate or in the Jian Yi Sect, he had always had a place that he could call home. He couldn't even imagine how it would be like to travel around so much that you wouldn't even have a place to return to.

Or, could it be that there was such a place for Xin Lan but it just wasn't this one and he hadn't returned to it in the same way that he hadn't returned to the Hua family's estate in a long time? Hua Lin Yu turned to Xin Lan, giving him a curious look. ”Say, how were you living in the dragon realm? Do you have a home there?”

Xin Lan's expression was thoughtful. Home … ”Originally, I guess there was something like this?”

Hua Lin Yu raised his brows at him. ”That doesn't sound very sure.”

”Ah …” Xin Lan wasn't too sure how Hua Lin Yu's brother would take this interruption of their outing but looking over his shoulder, it turned out that whether it was Hua Lin Rong or the two Huo brothers, they were actually looking at him with some curiosity. Well, at the very least, they did so until they noticed that he had been looking at them. Then, they pretended to be angry and not interested in what he had to say at all.

Xin Lan turned back to the front, wondering to himself. From the looks of it, they really wanted to know what he had to say. That definitely wasn't because they thought his life was super interesting or that he was a person worth getting to know but likely because they were interested in the immortal realms.

Well, it wasn't a wonder. All cultivators aspired to ascend to the Nine Heavens one day. Naturally, they were quite interested in hearing what the immortal realms were like. They wanted to know what would expect them when they reached that fabled realm. Just getting a glimpse of it through somebody's words was definitely a good thing to them.

Well, since the opportunity had already presented itself, Xin Lan didn't hold back. While he didn't necessarily like to share his personal story, he could definitely give a few bits of information if it changed their perception of him.

”Well, it's a bit difficult to say. As I mentioned before, I've been living for a rather long time. I was originally born in one of the larger cities of the dragon realm. There had been a rather big change in our realm shortly before that so times were a little difficult.

”I guess I didn't quite have the usual upbringing because of that and my relationship with my parents wasn't too close either as a result of that. I moved out pretty quickly after reaching the age of maturity and then went on to find a place of my own.

”I traveled our realm and the other immortal realms for quite some time and didn't really settle down in one place for all that time. It was several millennia before I actually bought an estate of my own. It was in one of the more remote areas of the dragon realm though, far away from anyone else. I just didn't really like being around so many people.”
