Chapter 316: Heartwarming (4)
When the patriarch heard this, he continued to say lightly: "Lu Tong, I still know a little bit about how many young men like you in the Shaking Light Clan, indeed, you are very beautiful and powerful, it is normal for them to like you, but you are so good that you are so defenseless in front of that foreigner, but he didn't touch you, how do you explain this?"
Lu Tong's face struggled: "I... I don't know, maybe heβ" "Maybe he's a decent gentleman, and he's so beautiful that he doesn't move? You tell me he's actually a good-hearted man?, and why did he go back to the cave and kill so many of our people when he left?!"
The last question of the patriarch's tone was quite stern, and Lu Tong knelt on the ground with trembling legs: "I... I don't really know. www.biquge.info The patriarch glanced at Lu Tong: "You don't know, it's not the first time he has let you go, this time he didn't do anything to you, plus he traveled thousands of miles to Zhou Xishan to sit there and talk to you about his past stories, how do you make us believe that there is nothing between you?"
Lu Tong shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "I really have nothing to do with him, patriarch, you have to believe me." The patriarch sighed lightly: "Lu Tong, I also want to believe you, but the truth is so absurd, how can you make me believe you." β
Lu Tong was silent when he heard this, but at this time, the Great Elder spoke: "Patriarch, I don't think this alone can explain anything, maybe that foreigner is not interested in beauty in the first place, and some people only like to kill people but don't like beauty, which is also possible." β
Hearing this, the patriarch's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled without a trace, Lu Tong looked up at the Great Elder, his face was full of gratitude: "Great Elder..." β
When the Great Elder heard this, his heart sank: "Having said that, isn't it a bit hasty to convict Lu Tong based on this alone?" The patriarch laughed when he heard this: "Great Elder, when did I say that I would convict Lu Tong, but this matter is really important, and we have to deal with it carefully." β
The Great Elder nodded in agreement when he heard this: "Then what do you think we should do next?" The patriarch pondered for a while before saying, "I think I'll let Lu Tong stay in this cave for the time being, and you won't leave without your permission." β
When the Great Elder heard this, he immediately agreed: "Yes, just do it, Lu Tong, do you hear?" Lu Tong's face was embarrassed, she was still worried about the Kurong Yin Sha Pill in her body: "What, you don't want to?" Lu Tong had to nod helplessly: "I know, Lu Tong will not leave without permission." β
The two nodded one after another, and at this moment, a voice came into the ears of the three people: "Patriarch, Great Elder, Jing Xing is back!" Hearing this, the Patriarch and the Great Elder glanced at each other, and the Patriarch couldn't help but wonder and muttered to himself, "Why did he come back so soon?"
After speaking, he walked out of the cave with the Great Elder, but Lu Tong was full of suspicion, others didn't know, but she knew very well that Jing Xing was caught by Zhong Yu, how could Jin Xi Jing Xing come back alive with the way that foreigner did things in the past? Lu Tong suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart.
Outside the cave, the patriarch and the great elder couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Jing Xing, only to see that Jing Xing, who was usually white and chubby, was covered with scars at the moment, looking so seriously injured that he was almost unconscious, Jing Xing's eyes lit up when he saw the patriarch: "Clan... Patriarch. β
The patriarch hurriedly walked to Jing Xing's side: "What's wrong, why did you do this?" Jing Xing suddenly showed a guilty look when he heard this: "Patriarch, it's me who is useless, I encountered an unusually powerful demonic beast not long after I hit the road, and I tried all my means to escape with difficulty." β
The patriarch shook his head when he heard this: "Forget it, you can't be blamed for this, you take care of your injuries, and don't worry about the rest." Jing Xing's face was painful when he heard this: "Patriarch, I'm really ashamed that such a simple task has not been completed, and I have failed to live up to your expectations." β
The patriarch shook his head: "I said, it's not your fault, come here, take Jing Xing down to recuperate." "Yes" The two people next to him agreed in a deep voice, and the great elder on the side walked to the patriarch at this time: "Patriarch, I haven't found any particularly powerful demonic beasts around here, how could he..."
Hearing this, the patriarch glared at the Great Elder: "Great Elder, your strength is profound, and it is naturally easy to encounter ordinary demonic beasts, but Jing Xing is just a small regimental first-order strength, is there anything wrong with him not being able to fight those demonic beasts?"
The Great Elder couldn't help but be angry when he was scolded by the patriarch, but he also knew that at this time, the patriarch only thought that his henchmen were seriously injured, and he was uncomfortable in his heart, so he didn't quarrel with him, he snorted and said, "I don't know what the patriarch plans to do next?"
Hearing this, the patriarch glanced at the Great Elder with an unmoved expression: "I'm going to the neighborhood to see how the clan's guards are doing, if the Great Elder wants to come with me." Hearing this, the Great Elder shook his head: "I want to go back to cultivate, and the patriarch will walk slowly." β
After speaking, he walked directly towards the wooden house, and the patriarch also took steps towards the outskirts of the clan's land, but he only walked more than twenty steps before stopping, he looked at the great elder and found that he had gone away, the patriarch smiled coldly and turned around and walked towards the cave, and soon the patriarch walked to the cave where Lu Tong was.
Lu Tong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the patriarch go and return: "Patriarch, why are you back again?" The patriarch smiled kindly when he heard this: "Lu Tong, just now I was also analyzing the problem realistically, you won't hold a grudge against me, right?" Lu Tong hurriedly bowed his head when he heard this: "Lu Tong doesn't dare, the patriarch is also doing this for the safety of the Shake Light Clan, Lu Tong understands." β
The patriarch laughed when he heard this: "Yes, Lutong, although you are still young, you are much more sensible than other boys. Lu Tong smiled: "Patriarch Xie praises." The patriarch nodded, and his face gradually became serious: "Lu Tong, who has a more important position in your heart, me or the Great Elder?"
Lu Tong was shocked when she heard this, if the patriarch asked this question before yesterday, Lu Tong wouldn't think much about it at all, but after having a conversation with Zhong Yu, she already knew a lot of things, Lu Tong pondered for a while before slowly saying: "The Great Elder is like a master and a father in Lu Tong's heart, I have a deep relationship with the Great Elder, and the patriarch is the leader of the entire Shaking Light Clan, Lu Tong is full of respect and admiration for the Patriarch in his heart, you are the pillar that supports the entire Shaking Light Clan." β
The patriarch couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this reply, such an answer made it difficult for him to say too harsh words, and the patriarch was silent for a while and continued: "Then what do you say will happen to the Shaking Light Clan without the Great Elder, or what will happen without me, the patriarch?"
Lu Tong was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Why would the patriarch ask this question?" The patriarch said indifferently: "You just have to answer me." Lu Tong pondered for a moment and then said, "Whether there is a great elder or a patriarch in the clan, the strength will be greatly damaged, and the clansmen will also be heartbroken. β
Hearing this, the patriarch's eyes looking at Lu Tong changed slightly: "But... If there must be no one, then what do you think?" Lu Tong showed a difficult expression when he heard this: "Patriarch, I really can't answer this question. β
The patriarch glanced at Lu Tong lightly: "Okay, then I'll change the question, if there is a dispute between me and the Great Elder, which side will you stand on?" Lu Tong still looked embarrassed: "It depends on which of you is reasonable." Hearing this, the patriarch snorted coldly: "Lu Tong, stop pretending to be confused with me, in fact, I just want to hear a clear answer from you today, which side will you be on?"
Cold sweat was on Lu Tong's forehead: "I... I. At the same time, in another cave, Jing Xing was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, this was a man with an ordinary face, he ran into the cave and came directly to Jing Xing, Jing Xing heard a voice and opened his eyes: "Xiao Tian, why did you come here so quickly?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tian hurriedly said, "Brother Xing, didn't you let me stare at the cave where Lu Tong lived? I just saw the patriarch go in alone. Jing Xing's face was shocked when he heard this: "Really?" "Brother Xing, what am I lying to you for?" Jing Xing hurriedly said: "Quick, you go to the Great Elder, and tell him directly that the patriarch went and returned to the cave where Lu Tong lived. β
Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment: "Is this possible? The Great Elder has a noble status, and a clansman like me is not qualified to ask to see the Great Elder at all." Jing Xing shook his head: "Stupid, if you just say it is about the patriarch and Lu Tong, the Great Elder will definitely see you, and after you finish speaking, the Great Elder will probably reward you with something." β
Xiao Tian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?" Jing Xing patted Xiao Tian's head when he heard this: "When did I lie to you, Brother Xing?" Xiao Tian pouted: "The kind of green mushrooms I picked last time, you lied to me that they were poisonous, and you ate all those mushrooms yourself, and once you told me that Xiao Mei was bathing in the river, but I was caught by her after I went, and you got on good terms with her because you told her my whereabouts, and there was another time..."
"Okay, I used to joke with you, I'm really anxious this time, you go quickly, just treat it as Brother Xing, I beg you, okay?" Xiao Tian pouted: "I believe you again, if you trick me again, I will never believe you again in the future." β
Jing Xing's face suddenly showed joy: "Yes, believe me again, you go quickly, you won't see you Brother Xing and me again when it's late." Xiao Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "What does this have to do with you, besides, is it that serious?"
Jing Xing shook his head helplessly: "If you don't go, I'll climb to the place where the Great Elder lives by myself." When Xiao Tian heard this, he immediately stopped asking, he stood up and ran quickly towards the wooden house, and after a dash, he came to the front of the wooden house, and a middle-aged man stopped Xiao Tian: "What are you doing?
Xiao Tian gasped and said, "This big brother, I have an urgent matter to see the Great Elder. The man glanced at Xiao Tian contemptuously: "The Great Elder is meditating and cultivating, so he can't be disturbed casually, besides, the Great Elder is not something that anyone can see if they want to." β
