Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dialogue
A ball of soft and tightly hugged Sha Li's left leg, Xiao Dan didn't know when he used the power of space and instantly moved to Sha Li's side.
"Hello, where has Brother Sha gone? I seemed to have a dream last night, and there was a woman in the dream who stabbed me with a lot of needles in her hand, and it hurt me to death. ”
Xiao Dan complained with a faint cry. Sha Li was a little distressed, and the picture of Xiao Dan's body being injured by Luo Hongshao's Yuan Needle in many places in the Vermilion Bird Hall floated in his mind.
"Don't be afraid, that woman has already been arrested. No more bullying us. Sha Li touched Xiao Dan's face and comforted.
"Was it defeated by Brother Sha? I feel that Brother Sha has become a lot stronger, but ...... Why can't I see Brother Sha's realm?"
Xiao Dan's long eyelashes blinked, and there was a little doubt in his pastel-colored eyes.
However, Shari was more confused than she was.
Because of the soul power of the Vermilion Bird, it is impossible for ordinary people to see their cultivation realm. However, Xiao Dan can actually feel the changes in his body, it seems that the little girl's spiritual sense is not ordinarily strong.
"Xiao Dan, your spatial power seems to have improved. Sha Li remembered that when he entered the door just now, he didn't see how Xiao Dan appeared beside him at all.
"It's like after a good night's sleep, I feel like I'm getting stronger again. Hee-hee!"
Hearing Sha Li's praise, Xiao Dan showed a somewhat smug smile.
"Boss, uh......" Wu Lonely struggled to get up, but due to the violent movements, he felt a little dizzy.
"Don't get up, lie down first. You have lost too much essence and blood this time, and when you go back, you must not only rest honestly for a few days, but also take a good repair. ”
With Wu Lone's background, Sha Li is not worried about his future recuperation.
"Thank you, Boss. If I didn't have a boss this time, I would probably have to bury my little life here, haha!"
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Wu Liao has always seemed very calm and steady. But after all, he is only a twelve-year-old child, and he has and should have a sunny, witty, mischievous and impulsive side.
Ever since he met Sha Li, he has shown this almost unknown side, but he has shown it without hesitation.
"Since you call me boss, I will naturally cover you......"
Sha Li was about to say something, but a female voice suddenly came from outside the door that made him feel familiar:
"Sha Gongzi, the head of the family is affectionate. ”
...
In a wide hall, Sha Li looked at the man in a dark red brocade robe in front of him.
He is about fifty years old, and his appearance is quite similar to Zhuge Zhengchen, but he is more majestic. His face was slightly embarrassed, and he didn't know whether he was worried because his beloved wife was seriously ill, or because he was disappointed and sad because his only son had made a big mistake.
"Sha Xiaoyou, please take a seat. ”
Zhuge Wuzhu's voice was full of exhaustion.
Sha Li bowed slightly, sat down and said, "I don't know what advice the head of the Zhuge family has for summoning the juniors?"
"Sha Xiaoyou doesn't have to be so polite. It is a great achievement for you to help the Zhuge family find the Vermilion Bird Stone, and I naturally want to thank you in person. Having said that, Zhuge Wuzhu's tone was very flat.
"This is all within the responsibility of the juniors, and the seniors don't have to care. ”
"Alas!"
After Zhuge Wuju was silent for a long time, he actually let out a long sigh.
"I also suspected that it was this unfilial son, but when I remembered that he was often taught in the past to put the family first, especially to protect the Vermilion Bird, I felt that he would not be so indiscriminate.
Unexpectedly, he finally made such a disobedient act. ”
Zhuge Wuzhu's expression is like a father who loves deeply and is responsible, and he is both angry and self-reproachful after learning that his beloved son has gone astray.
Sha Li could see that his appearance did not look like a disguise, and comforted: "Seniors don't need to blame themselves too much. The young head of the family acted like this because he loved his mother. ”
"That's it. Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird Stone is okay after all, otherwise how can I face the spirit of my eldest brother in the sky. ”
Zhuge Wuju turned to Sha Li and said in a concerned tone: "Sha Xiaoyou, I heard Zixin say that you fought to the death in the Vermilion Bird Hall and injured Luo Hongshao, so you saved the Vermilion Bird Stone. He must have suffered a lot of injuries. He took out a jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Sha Li, saying, "Here are ten Yuan Dan that heals and replenishes qi, if you don't dislike it, please accept it." The right is my Zhuge family's gratitude and reparation to you. ”
Sha Li raised his hand to block it, and said with a smile: "The junior's injury is no longer in the way, and the family teacher will also give a lot of pills on weekdays." Moreover, it is not the work of the younger generations to be able to find the concerted efforts of all the companions of the Vermilion Bird Stone, as well as the guidance of the predecessors of the purple core. Therefore, I really dare not accept this heavy gift. ”
Zhuge Wuju's face condensed slightly, as if he remembered something: "I forgot, Sha Xiaoyou is a senior disciple of Divine Doctor Xue, and there is no shortage of elixirs." "He had seen Sha Li at the Sky Dome Gala, so he naturally knew his teacher's origins.
However, Sha Xiaoyou was able to injure Luo Hongshao, which shows that since the Battle of the Sky Dome, his cultivation has improved a lot. ”
After saying this, Zhuge Wuju secretly probed his divine sense to Sha Li, but the result made him slightly surprised.
He had already learned from Zhuge Zixin that Sha Li had advanced to Tongyuan, but at this moment, he couldn't perceive Sha Li's realm.
The Spirit Yuan Realm can't perceive a Yuan Qi realm of the Tongyuan Realm? It's ridiculous.
But the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
However, he soon decided that Sha Li's master, Xue Qi, was the first Yuan Dan master of Qiyuan Island, and it was not surprising that he had some means to cover up his cultivation.
"Seniors praise falsely. Luo Hongshao cultivated like this, if it weren't for a mysterious person who helped in time at that time, my little life would be over. ”
"Mystery man, what mystery man?" Zhuge Wuju looked surprised.
He had long felt strange, even if Sha Li could defeat the early stage of the True Yuan with the Kaiyuan Realm when he appeared at the top of the firmament, Luo Hongshao was already a master who had stepped into the Lingyuan Realm with one foot, and even if Sha Li had broken through to the Tongyuan, it was unlikely that she would be her opponent. Needless to say, the other two island guards are not even as good as Shali.
His initial guess was that perhaps the three of them brought extremely powerful forbidden weapons from the Silver Beach detachment, combined the strength of the three of them, and urged her with some kind of formation, because Luo Hongshao was inferior to the enemy, and injured her at a huge cost.
However, now listening to Sha Li, it seems that there is another hidden secret.
"The younger generation doesn't know. It's just that he suddenly appeared in the Vermilion Bird Palace, and he has been peeking outside the hall for a long time. Listening to his conversation with Luo Hongshao, it seems that he has been observing Luo Hongshao in the dark for many years. ”
Sha Li carefully paid attention to Zhuge Wuzhu's expression after he mentioned the mysterious person, and it seemed that he really didn't know about it.
"I just don't know if the purple core seniors have found him. At that time, the purple core senior was the first to enter the hall, and he may have left at that moment. Shali added.
Zhuge Wuju's eyes narrowed slightly, but they quickly stretched out.
"It's weird. Thanks to Sha Xiaoyou's information, it seems that someone did break into my Zhuge house without knowing it. After that, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the Vermilion Birdstone. ”
Looking at Zhuge Wuju's solemn appearance, Sha Li didn't say anything, just nodded lightly.
"If Sha Xiaoyou is fine, he will play on this mountain for a few more days. The three of you are all the proud characters of my Qiyuan Island, and you can't invite them on weekdays. If you have time, please help knock the juniors in the clan who are not successful. ”
"The seniors are loved, and the younger generations are flattered. It's just that this is the case, and I have to return to the team to resume my life. It's really inconvenient to stay for a long time. ”
Zhuge Wuju had to give up after hearing this.
After a few small talks, Sha Li retreated.
Zhuge Wuju sat silently for a long time, and muttered alone: "Mysterious man...... Could it be the one next to Zixin?"
...
After Sha Li came out of Zhuge Wuzhu's living room, he saw that the maid was still waiting outside the door.
Sha Li was surprised in his heart and said with a smile: "This sister, I know the way back, you don't have to wait for me here." ”
The waitress hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Sha Gongzi, it was the eldest lady who ordered me to wait here." ”
"Oh, does she want to see me?" this broad daylight ......," Sha Li remembered the secret conversation with Zhuge Zixin's boudoir last night.
The maid raised her head and said without changing her face, "It's not that the eldest lady wants to see the child, but another person." ”
"Who is it?"
"Luo Hongshao. ”
...
"Senior Luo, it seems that this Zhuge family is really good to you. ”
Although Luo Hongshao was detained in a special dungeon made by the Zhuge family, he did not have any torture instruments such as shackles on his hands.
"However, I really didn't expect that you would be able to convince Zhuge Zixin to let me come to see you. ”
Luo Hongshao glanced at Sha Li and said lightly: "I paid a price that she couldn't refuse." ”
"Oh, why did you pay a huge price to see me? You don't want to scold me to my face, do ......you?"
Before Sha Li finished speaking, Luo Hongshao had already knelt down with a plop.
He was taken aback by Luo Hongshao's sudden move, and hurriedly flashed aside.
"What do you mean by that?" Sha Li was puzzled.
"Please, save Sister Jiashu!"
Luo Hongshao looked at Sha Li, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
Kneel down to such a young junior, and not so long ago. One can imagine how complicated her heart is at the moment.
"Luo Jiashu?" Sha Li's eyes rolled slightly, "Aren't you trying to harm her?"
"You...... You've already found out. is worthy of being a senior disciple of Doctor Xue. Luo Jiashu's eyes first widened, and then she seemed to suddenly understand something.
Sha Li was not surprised that Luo Hongshao knew her background, after all, she had seen Zhuge Zixin before, and the latter must have mentioned herself to her.
"Sister Jiashu and I are not biological, but we are better than biological. How could I really hurt her? Originally, it was just to cause her to be seriously ill, so that Zhengchen and I could obtain the Vermilion Bird Stone together.
But now that I'm behind bars, they won't trust me anymore. Sister Jiashu's 'Ziyoucen' has accumulated a lot, and if the medicine is not removed in time, I am afraid it will really hurt her life. ”
Sha Li looked at Luo Jiashu's eyes, at this time she was sincere in her emotions, and she didn't seem to be lying.
"Let me ask you, why did you steal the Vermilion Stone?"
Luo Hongshao didn't expect Sha Li to ask this question, after all, the answer was obvious to the Zhuge family.
"Naturally...... Refining a miracle pill for Sister Jiashu to cure cold disease. ”
"You're lying!"
Sha Li continued in an accentuated tone: "Your appearance in the Vermilion Bird Hall that night was not what Zhuge Zhengchen said at all...... Sensing that the Vermilion Bird Stone has been taken away. It's that you've been hiding there for a long time. ”
Luo Hongshao's eyes widened, "You ......"
Sha Li ignored her reaction, stared into her eyes and said, "Your purpose is simply to wait for Zhuge Zhengchen to come and take away the Vermilion Bird Stone, and then secretly attack him." And then you took the Vermilion Bird Stone without knowing it, right? You have been lurking in the Luo family for many years, just to get the Vermilion Bird Stone, am I right?"
Luo Hongshao twisted her head to the side, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "I, I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Oh well. Since you don't know what I'm talking about, then I don't know how to save your sister Jiashu. She has nothing to do with me in the first place. ”
After Sha Li finished speaking, he really pulled his legs away.
"Wait, who the hell are you?"
