(17)

Chen Bei has woken up under the care of Jade Soul Gui, although the injury has not healed yet, and he can't get out of bed, but at least his face has eased a lot, and he looks a lot more energetic. When he saw us come in, he immediately struggled to get up from the bed, and asked urgently:

"Where's the third brother? Did you find him?"

I really didn't dare to look at Chenbei's expectant eyes, so I had to lower my head and shake my head at him. When Chenbei saw my movements, the light in his eyes instantly went out, and he buried himself again in the quilt and murmured in pieces:

"I knew it was too late...... Too late...... If it weren't for saving me, the third brother wouldn't have had an accident...... It's all because I ......."

In my impression, Chenbei has always been that high-spirited and energetic teenager. I couldn't see him so depressed, so I hurriedly told him about our previous experience:

"Although we didn't find the little master, we met the man who took him under the West Sea, and we are sure that the man would not hurt him. Until his plan is implemented, the little master will not be in danger, you can rest assured. It's just that we don't know where he is or when his plan will be implemented. We have some clues now, but we need to tell us everything that happened after we left the thought of the afterlife so that we can be sure that our assumptions are correct. ”

Although I wasn't too sure about what I was saying, I still tried to make my tone sound hopeful to calm Tatsuki's emotions. However, it may not be that the level of trust in me is not so high, after listening to my words, Chenbei did not regain hope as I expected, but turned over and said in a low voice:

"The person who can't be beaten by the third brother, you meet, can you come back so lively?"

After listening to Chenbei's complaints, I coughed awkwardly, and then shifted my gaze to Xiuhe. As soon as Xiu He saw me looking at him, he immediately got up from his chair and defended:

"Look at what I'm doing, how do I know why you're not hurt, I'm hurt anyway. ”

"Are you embarrassed to say, who told me so confidently at the beginning that I would leave everything to him, so that I didn't have to worry about anything and just run? ”

"Eh, you little bastard, I forgot who finally brought you out when you were unconscious, right? Do you think Lao Tzu was beaten without doing anything? Really, you underestimate me too much, Lao Tzu is the king of Hades, if it weren't for sealing his body, how could Lao Tzu be injured!"

Xiu He glared at me with disgust, and then shook out the ending that I had deliberately ignored. But this ending was obviously not as attractive as he later said, and after he finished speaking, I and Xingxing shouted at him at the same time:

"What did you say?"

Xiuhe didn't expect the two of us to have such a big reaction, especially Xingxing, who looked like he was going to eat him, so that half of his momentum was extinguished in an instant, and he replied honestly:

"I came back in such a hurry that I didn't have time to say it, I just...... I sealed his essence with my blood, and if he acts as a spirit again, he will no longer be able to combine with his body, and in this case, his strength will be greatly weakened, and we will have a better chance of winning. ”

"Don't you have a brain? Is life important or is it important to break the seal? You see how you have been injured, you haven't been so seriously injured in the war, it's crazy. ”

I think it must have taken a lot of effort to control his hair when he said this, but I was used to seeing him smile gently and innocently, and occasionally seeing him angry, I actually thought it was a pleasing thing to the eye. And apparently Jade Soul Gui also had the same thoughts as me, he watched Xiu He deflated in front of the floating line, and his face, which had never been smiling, finally showed a smile that was so faint that it would almost be ignored.

The scene in front of me can be said to be very beautiful if there is no me and Chenbei. It's a pity that Chenbei and I were present, and when Chenbei finally turned his attention back to us, he was very surprised and asked Fuxing:

"You...... Are you the Dragon King of the West Sea?"

Xu is Chenbei's excited voice was a little abrupt here, and the floating line who was suddenly nominated turned his head and looked at Chenbei blankly, and then nodded. Confirming what he thought in his heart, Chenbei immediately came to his senses and continued to float:

"There is a portrait of you in my father's bedroom, and he often stands in front of it for a long time. There are only two words on the painting, I don't know what it means, and then I inquired for a long time before I heard from Yue Lao that this is your name, but I didn't expect to see you here. ”

Chenbei didn't know the reason for this, so when he recounted this incident, he was full of excitement, just like a little fan who met his idol by chance. But the four of us present were very aware of what had happened to them before, and when we reacted to what Chenbei was talking about, I saw the floating flash's eyes red.

"Why hang my portrait in my bedroom as if I was dead? ”

Float struggled to pull out a smile, trying to get past the matter with a joke. However, Chen Bei became more and more energetic the more he spoke, and then continued with floating words:

"No, it's not just you, there is also a portrait of Hades and another unnamed one in my father's bedroom. He didn't like it when I asked him about these things, so I don't know who the rest of the person is. But I feel that my father cherishes you very much, because he always beats me up for sneaking up on his paintings. ”

The last sentence Chen Bei said very quietly, but no matter how small his voice was, it did not escape the ears of these people. Xiu He laughed at him after hearing this, and couldn't help but say:

"I said why you kid was always beaten up when he was a child, and he co-authored it because he secretly touched us. ”

"Hey, Uncle Xiu, I just touched the portrait, not to steal with you, please make it clear, okay? ”

"Okay, okay, even if your father is an old man, he still has a little conscience. Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, we can discuss it privately later. It's still important to get down to business, little nephew, Twelve didn't lie to you, we have indeed seen Shen Yuan. Listening to what he meant, Sinan should be of great use to him, so he will be fine for the time being. It's also kind of buying us time to tell us about the last time you saw him, and see if it doesn't match the information we got. ”
