"Understood! Understood!" the skeleton immediately replied, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's good to understand!" Andrea tilted her neck proudly and took the lead in moving forward, Elena gave the skeleton a reassuring look, and followed Andrea's footsteps quickly, in place, only the skeleton silently looked back at the child on her shoulder, and continued to walk forward helplessly.

"Giggles...... Seeing the skeleton deflated, the child didn't know why, happily dangling his little feet on the skeleton's shoulder.

"Little girl, you dare to gloat, I really hurt you in vain!" The skeleton pretended to be annoyed, and slapped Mi'er's ass lightly and heavily.

"Ah!" Mi'er exclaimed, muttering a little angrily, "Don't you know if men and women are kissed or not?"

"Do you still climb on top of me?" the skeleton glared.

"Hehe...... " Mi'er laughed dryly, but instead hugged the skeleton more affectionately.

"It's really ......" The skeleton shook its head helplessly, but it quickened its pace and followed Andrea and Elena in front.

As the skeleton and the others continued to move forward, the passage that lit the candle of Kalaya was gradually left behind, and the group gradually arrived at the interior of the building.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, a huge flame of Peng Shuo suddenly burst out of the void, illuminating the entire darkness in an instant.

"You're coming!" I saw an old man with a beard sitting quietly directly below the flames, smiling gently.

"Say it...... What is the purpose of inviting us here?" the skeleton asked indifferently as he looked at the old man indifferently.

"You...... Are you doing well?" Who knows, the old man chose to ignore the skeleton's questioning, and instead stared at the young man on the skeleton's shoulder and asked softly, his eyes were filled with complex thoughts, like a secluded "bottomless pit", hiding strong feelings, "These years...... I'm sorry for you!"

The skeleton frowned, and glanced back at the child on his shoulder, thoughtful.

"Grandpa, who are you?" Mi'er looked at the old man a little strangely, and asked crisply, "Do you know Mi'er?"

"Of course I know!" the old man chuckled, put away the complexity in his eyes, and said with a doting smile, "Speaking of which...... I brought you back to the Cole family back then!"

"Really?" the child hesitated a little, and lightly hammered his head with a look of chagrin, "It's a pity...... I can't remember anything!"

"Sometimes...... Can't remember more than remember...... It's better!" the old man sighed and whispered softly, as if with infinite emotion, "I can't remember...... Naturally, there are no worries!"

The skeleton kept a cold eye on the answer between Mi'er and the old man - the skeleton knew how extraordinary Mi'er was, and he believed that the old man in front of him had noticed it a long time ago, although he didn't know why the old man would take a "laissez-faire" attitude towards Mi'er, but ...... No matter what, he, the Skeleton Emperor of the Demon Emperor Castle, would never allow anyone to harm the person he was determined to protect with the death!

"Old ...... Old patriarch?" At this time, seeing that the scene was a little cold, Elena, who had been silent, called out tentatively, "Excuse me, you...... You are the first patriarch of our Cole family......"

"That's right!" the old man interrupted Elena's inquiry, and gave a definite answer, "I am Gold Cole!"

"Oh!" Elena nodded a little nervously, glanced at Andrea beside her, and said with some apprehension, "Actually...... Actually, my young lady has a problem...... Want...... I want to ask the old patriarch!"

"What question?" replied the old man a little nonchalantly, "if I can answer it, I will consider telling you!"

"That's ......" Elena just opened her mouth to ask, but was directly interrupted by Andrea, "grabbing" the conversation:

"What I want to ask is...... How the hell did my father die?--and, what were you doing at the time, who had been claiming to be in the Cole family, why didn't you go and rescue my father?"

"It's Andrea!" the old man glanced at Andrea and smiled approvingly, "I've heard your father tell me about you, you're a good seedling......! There's a successor to the Cole family!"

"All I want now is to know the cause of my father's death - as for other things...... I'll talk about it later!" Andrea looked at the old man coldly, and a chill was in her words, "Don't tell me you don't know—I don't believe that after all this time, you have not found the exact cause of my father's death!

"The little girl has sharp teeth!" the old man chuckled, and then nodded generously in acknowledgement, "Yes, the events of the day have already been revealed - but it is not appropriate to announce them to the public!"

"Why?" shouted Andrea angrily, "why shouldn't it be announced?" or ...... You don't want to make it public?"

"Don't want to?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then thoughtfully, "Is it ...... Are you suspicious of him...... Hands?"

"Yes!" Andrea seemed to be in a state of madness at this point, "I just doubt him - otherwise, who else but him will be able to succeed in our Cole family?"

"And me!" the old man seemed to be a little angry, "Why, do you still want to doubt me?"

"Don't dare!" Andrea seemed to sense the old man's indignation, and sobered up from her madness, bowing her head again and again, "I was reckless—but, as far as the situation stands, he ...... It's the most suspicious -- isn't it?"

"You can rest assured that in the entire Cole family, your uncle is the least likely to attack your father!" said the old man very firmly, "I don't know why you doubt your uncle, but please believe him, he is the least likely to betray the Cole family and your father like me—there is no doubt about it!"

"Won't you betray?" Andrea was full of suspicion, "The reason why I don't betray is because the price of betrayal is not big enough - if the price is enough, will I not betray?"

"Do you want to say that the position of the patriarch of the Cole family?" the old man sneered, "I don't know about others, but your uncle will never do this because of this-because, the patriarch I was interested in back then was originally your uncle, and he himself took the initiative to resign for your father to take the position, and it is precisely because of this that I believe in him so much, I believe that he will not do this!"

"But people always become don't they?" said Andrea, who wanted to continue arguing, but the old man interrupted impatiently:

"As I said before, the events of that day have already come to light - and the facts have proved your uncle's innocence, and I hope you will not continue to mess around!"
