XXV. Precursor
Ji Haiyun, who hurried back, grabbed Zhang Longqian's arm tightly, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but glared at him angrily, and wanted to ask him loudly, but Ji Haiyun raised his hand and tapped it on his lips, and after a slight fluctuation of spiritual power, she couldn't make any sound.
Glancing at the woods, Ji Haiyun's face was very serious, and he leaned into Zhang Longqian's ear and whispered.
"That person can't be messed with, you must not go over."
The nameless fire has already rushed straight to his brain, where can Zhang Longqian listen to this? But no matter how she struggled, she couldn't move away from Ji Haiyun's hands even a little, which made her more and more anxious, but she heard the cold voice of the middle-aged man over there.
"Useless stuff."
The disdainful voice stabbed Zhang Longqian's teeth, but when she saw Nangong Piao over there, she immediately knelt down on one knee towards the middle-aged man, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Nangong Piao: What is this doing?
I didn't look at Cang Yan who was expressionless next to him, the middle-aged man just looked at Nangong Piao who lowered his head, and snorted coldly: "What time is it, you still come to the academy to mess around, don't you know the priority?" ”
Deeply bowing his head and not daring to look at the middle-aged man's expression, Nangong Piao eagerly explained in an extremely humble voice: "I'm very sorry! But...... This is what Hanyang Zhenren means, and we can't help it...... Otherwise...... It will bring trouble to the Cang family. ”
"Zhang Hanguang, that old thief......" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, "Hmph, that's it, I'll solve it on his side, but you can't waste time here anymore." By the end of the month at the latest, you should understand what to do, right? ”
Bowing his head deeply under the cold gaze of the middle-aged man, Nangong Piao finally replied with a low but affirmative answer.
“…… Be. ”
After receiving the answer, the middle-aged man turned around without hesitation, and the people behind him all followed his footsteps with a cold face, only the young man closest to him glanced at Cang Yan the moment he turned around.
It was a very dark sight, full of undisguised disdain and disgust, as if I had seen some smelly garbage.
Seeing everything in full, Zhang Longqian had already gritted his teeth, but he still couldn't pass, so she turned her head to look at Ji Haiyun and silently told him to let her go, but she only saw Ji Haiyun shaking his head slowly with a serious face that he had never seen before.
Zhang Long was in a hurry, but he saw Liao Lei coming not far away. After he got the news from Ji Haiyun, he stood in place and pondered about his own affairs, and now he was a little impatient to wait, so he simply came back and wanted to ask Zhang Longqian what he was rubbing, but as soon as he opened his mouth and called "Hey", he stopped his voice and frowned and looked behind Zhang Longqian.
Noticing Liao Lei's gaze, Zhang Longqian also subconsciously glanced back, and what she saw was a group of middle-aged people walking towards this side after walking out of the woods, seeing this, she gritted her teeth and wanted to take advantage of their approaching hands to breathe, but she felt that her body stiffened and couldn't move, it seemed that Ji Haiyun had done her hands and feet, so she could only watch the middle-aged man approach.
Noticing that the middle-aged man on Zhang Longqian's side still maintained a gloomy expression, he glanced at Ji Haiyun, who was standing beside Zhang Longqian, nodded to him with a smile, and then glanced contemptuously at Liao Lei, whose face was a little ugly, and then walked past them with a few people, and Shi Shiran left.
It wasn't until she couldn't see the figures of those people that Ji Haiyun withdrew the immobilization technique on Zhang Longqian's body, she gritted her teeth and turned to the woods, and rushed over to grab Cang Yan, who was still standing in place, only to find that his left face was not only swollen, but also with blood stains on the corners of his lips, she couldn't help but twitch in her heart, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?" ”
Cang Yan didn't speak, just quietly wiped the blood from the corners of his lips with his fingers.
Glancing at Nangong Piao who was slowly getting up next to him, Zhang Longqian suppressed his anger and asked him, "What the hell is going on?" Why did you just let him ......! Who the hell is that bastard?! ”
Looking up at Zhang Longqian, Nangong Piao's face hooked up a gray smile, but he didn't answer, and then Ji Haiyun, who came with him, whispered the answer that everyone present knew except Zhang Longqian.
"The young master of the violent Cang family, Cang Ding, is also the third son of Cang...... Father. ”
Looking at Ji Haiyun in amazement, and then at Liao Lei, who stopped not far away and frowned, Zhang Longqian finally moved his gaze to Cang Yan in front of him.
His...... Father?
Watching Cang Yan quietly use a simple healing spell to recover for himself, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but tug on his clothes, lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and slowly let out a low voice.
“…… Father? It's the one who says he's 'superfluous', says he's 'waste', says his existence 'meaningless'...... Even until he was expelled from the Cang family, he never looked at his man with his eyes? ”
Nangong Piao looked at Zhang Longqian with a surprised face: "How do you know ......?"
"That kind of man!"
The voice that suddenly raised up interrupted Nangong Piao's words, Zhang Longqian paused, but the hand that grabbed Cang Yan's clothes was trembling slightly.
Not fear, but anger.
"Absolute Son" Cang Yan, who is resolute, cruel, and dyed with blood, entered the Dharma Temple Garrison Division at the age of only twelve to become an executor, and then carried out the task alone, quickly exterminating the entire sect with ruthless means, and making the entire Dao Law world change color.
Twelve years old.
Why do you have to face so many enemies alone at the age of twelve?
Why do you have to experience what it is like to kill people at the age of twelve?
Why is it that at the age of twelve, he has to be hated and feared by the people of the entire Dao and Dharma realm?
The man...... Have you tried to stop this?
How can it be.
What that man wanted was just a bargaining chip to have the power for him to finally seize the position of the head of the Cang family, and what happened to Cang Yan was what he wanted to see, and it was even absolutely indispensable for him to contribute to the troubles behind his back, so that he achieved the name of "Absolute Son" that the entire Dao Law World avoided.
Zhang Longqian gritted his teeth.
"That kind of man...... Do you really think he's a 'father'? ”
Slowly raising his head to look at Cang Yan, Zhang Longqian's expression was already out of anger, and he was a little crying.
Looking at the person in front of him, the depths of his dark eyes were shaking slightly.
It has nothing to do with her, so why is she angry or even sad because of it?
It's weird.
It's clear that he has long lost expectations for everything, and he doesn't care anymore no matter what it looks like.
But why......
The slender fingers lightly touched his cheek, Zhang Longqian was slightly stunned, but there was a trace of confusion in the eternal cold voice.
“…… Why, you ......"
In the depths of his dark eyes, something was shaking.
It's like a lake that has been frozen for a long time, slowly cracking apart little by little.
