Uchiha of Zero Zone

This was the first time Ling mentioned the fall of the old capital to Zhong Yan, so he knew that the other party must have made some decision to mention this topic that he did not want to recall.

Whether it is her or Zhe, the two siblings are inextricably linked to the fall of the old capital. It was precisely because of that fall that they lost their original lives and became the rope makers they are today.

"The fall of the old capital, to put it simply, was the sudden expansion of Void Zero, which caused the entire Erito to be swallowed up. Up to now, no one has set foot in that area for more than ten years."

Ling stopped and said in a heavy tone: "My hometown is in the center of the collapse. It is the most dangerous place in Hole Zero. My brother and I became rope makers so that we can return to the old capital one day to explore the truth."

"But this is very dangerous, so I kept it from you before, because I know that with your personality, you will definitely agree without thinking, but I don't want that, I just hope you can live well..."

Ling paused at this point, and Zhong Yan guessed what she had not yet finished saying: "But now, because you know that I am an Uchiha, you think I have that ability, so you told me this, right?"

Obviously, this is what Ling meant.

To be honest, this was somewhat like taking advantage of Zhong Yan, so when Ling knew that her thoughts had been guessed by the other party, she immediately lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Very annoying, right? Actually, I've thought about asking you to ask the Uchiha for help before, but I always felt it was inappropriate, so I didn't ask you."

Ling's guilty look made Zhong Yan fall into deep thought, and finally, he came to a conclusion.

Of course I have to help my wife when she needs it. Besides, he also wants to know the truth about the fall of the old capital. If helping Ling can answer this question, then it would be killing two birds with one stone.

So, after a moment of silence, Zhong Yan suddenly smiled and said, "It's no big deal. I don't know much about the fall of the old capital, so I also want to explore the truth. If you can provide me with some clues, that would be great."

As he spoke, Zhong Yan stretched out his hand and habitually placed it on Ling's head and stroked it gently.

In fact, this action might be fine when used against Ambi and Ailian, but for Ling, she always plays the role of an older sister, so she doesn't like being touched on the head by her nominal younger brother.

However, Zhong Yan's touch made her cheeks slightly red, which led to a very pleasing scene.

Ling blushed and puffed her lips, looking at Zhong Yan with dissatisfaction, but she still resisted: "I am obviously much older than you, please don't act like a brother taking care of his sister, I have my own self-esteem..."

Ling's voice became softer and softer, until in the end, even she could not hear what she was saying.

This is because...Zhong Yan's way of touching the head is really very comfortable.

"So you think of me as your brother," Zhong Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw Ling's expression, and said, "But, do you really think of me as just a brother? If that's the case, then I'm going to be a little sad."

Ling almost immediately understood the hidden meaning of Zhong Yan's words, which made her already flushed cheeks even more obvious.

In addition to the current atmosphere, she finally couldn't help but take a step forward and gently put her lips on Zhong Yan's mouth.

"Crack!"

Passersby who happened to pass by here all inadvertently made the sound of being petrified and broken, and then, shocked, they almost immediately left this sad place.

As for Zhong Yan, he did not expect Ling's active attack. After he reacted, he immediately obeyed her and opened his mouth.

After about two minutes, their lips slowly parted. Ling panted heavily, her eyes a little blurry as she said, "Of course I don't just treat you as my brother. It's because you like to flirt with other girls so much that I don't even dare to express my feelings to you."

When facing Zhong Yan, Ling had a subtle sense of inferiority.

The source of this inferiority complex is Amby and Ailian.

As the person who knew Zhong Yan the last, Ling is inferior to An Bi and Ai Lian in every aspect, and the facts have indeed confirmed this.

However, even though they met late, as long as Zhong Yan made up his mind, he would not give up on anyone.

Whether it was Ambi, Ailen, or Ling, these three people were the ones he vowed to protect.

When the scene returned to the present, the two people who were hugging each other had already separated. Recalling the atmosphere when they were kissing just now, Ling felt happy and shy. While walking on the road, she would occasionally glance at Zhong Yan beside her out of the corner of her eye.

At this moment, Zhong Yan seemed to be lost in thought, his expression was extremely serious. After a long silence, he finally looked over here and said, "What was the name of the place where you lived before? Next time when I enter the No. 0 Hollow to explore, I can stop by to see what's going on there."

It is almost common knowledge that Uchiha has the ability to travel through the void without restrictions. After all, he doesn't have to worry about being eroded by the ether. Kamui's spatial transfer ability also allows him to come and go freely in the void.

Although the depths of the Zero Cave are dangerous, they may not be able to stop him. Moreover, if he just wants to go there to take a look and gather information, he doesn't even need to fight with the Yihai there.

Faced with Zhong Yan's sudden question, Ling, who had not yet recovered from the previous contact, could not help but be stunned for a moment. After reacting, she responded: "It's the Helios Agency. It used to be the research institute where my brother and I lived."

"Our teacher... Carlos Arna, after the fall of the old capital, she was defined as [the culprit who caused the Zero Hollow to go out of control and caused the fall of the old capital. All the tragedies were caused by her]."

"She educated us and raised us. The HDD system and Ies were her achievements. She also saved us on the day the old capital fell. This is why we became ropemakers."

After saying that, Ling looked up at the sky. The moon, which had been eroded by nearly half, was hanging above their heads, emitting a faint light.

"If the teacher were still alive, she would definitely be looking at the moon above her head like me."
