"Despite this, I can't take any chances - because there is no doubt about Dongfang Lingyun's identity...... ......There are already signs of exposure! There must not be the slightest mistake!" said the old man with a hint of guilt, "so I have erased all traces of her from the Cole family, and I have begun to gradually distance myself from her, for the sake of ...... It's to protect her safety!--even if I know she's not doing well, I can only pretend I don't know......! Any emotion I exude could be picked up by those guys through some special channel, so, for her sake...... I had to do this!"

"But unlike the time when I was plotted, that time...... Although they were also suspicious, I think that their greater motive for assassinating me was probably to protect myself from the threat of my Cole family's gold coins - as for the Eastern Lingyun incident...... Maybe it's just a reason for doing it that seems 'far-fetched' to them!" The old man smiled bitterly, with a deep exhaustion, "Although this reason is correct, I am sure that it was ...... They just hesitated a little bit about it—otherwise, my Cole family wouldn't have 'survived' through all these years!"

"Though they were only suspicious, I could not take any chances—so, as I said before, I ...... gradually alienated her......" the old man looked at Mi'er, his expression complicated, "without my control and healing, her amnesia is getting worse and worse - fortunately...... Although she was born from the relics of Dongfang Lingyun, she ...... But like Dongfang Lingyun, he has endless longevity!" The old man said with a slight relief, "Although I can only watch her from afar, I can see her and know that she is still in my Kele family, I ...... And that's it!"

"It's a pity...... Now it seems that this peaceful life is about to be broken!" the old man had a kind of trepidation, "unlike last time, this time ...... What they have done against my Cole family can make me completely convinced that this time ...... They...... Probably it's for real!"

"So I thought...... Dongfang Lingyun's true body...... I'm afraid it's been exposed—if not to 100 percent conviction, then at least ...... "The old man sighed, a little reluctantly, "so ...... I don't want to, but I ...... I can only entrust it to you!"

"Entrusted to me?" the skeleton chuckled, "you...... You know, this is the first time we have met today, and we are so heart-to-heart when we meet for the first time, I'm afraid ...... Not really, ......right? You have never doubted it...... I...... They were sent to spy on the intelligence and to deceive you into trusting you...... Spies?"

"You won't!" the old man vetoed, his expression filled with unwavering trust, "I don't believe there is any spy like you...... Such rampant arrogance and arrogance!--not to mention...... You are absolutely sincere to Dongfang Lingyun......! I'm confident that I'm not old enough to be dizzy!"

"Really?" the skeleton chuckled, a playful look in his eyes, "after knowing the great cause and effect of her...... Do you think I'm going to keep this mess going?"

"What do you mean by this?-don't you want to care about Mi'er?" Before the person in question could speak, Andrea, who had just recovered from the shock that Mi'er was Dongfang Lingyun, immediately felt upset for Mi'er, "I really didn't expect you to be such an irresponsible person, and you relied on you in vain!-Since that's the case...... You don't care, I'll care!"

"Don't be rude!" the old man rebuked Andrea, "didn't you find out that he was joking?"

"Really?" Andrea said as she looked at the skeleton suspiciously, "Why don't I look like it?"

"That's right!—I really won't help!" Ignoring Andrea and Elena's surprised gazes, the skeleton smiled faintly, "After knowing her 'trouble', I would have done my best if I didn't report it—why, do you still want me to be involved in this incident regardless of life and death? Don't dream! I have lost all my mana, and I still can't protect myself, how can I take care of another bigger source of trouble?"

"You ......," said Andrea, angrily pointing at the skeleton, "I misread you!—I already said it, if you don't care...... I'll take care of it!"

"Since it doesn't matter...... Why do you hold her all this day?" the old man chuckled, ignoring the pretending indifferent skeleton and the puffed Andrea, and said to himself, "if you don't want to care, you should have left it behind and avoided it far away, right......?" Still so tightly reluctant to let go?"

"So what?—when I'm gone, I'm ...... Naturally, I'll let her go!" the skeleton was indifferent, as if there was not the slightest fluctuation of feelings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You...... Hmph!" Andrea glared at the skeleton bitterly and said angrily, "I'm really ...... You're wrong!"

"I want to ...... He can't be like that, right?" Elena glanced at Andrea, who was rather uncool, and whispered, "Otherwise...... He won't he'll treat me!"

"Cure you?" Andrea sneered, "that's because for him, save you...... There is no 'threat' to himself, I'm afraid in the eyes of some, we ...... It's just some innocuous passers-by! Save us...... It's just what he needs to accumulate fame for himself! If we are like him...... Carrying such heavy shackles, then ...... Do you think he'll be so easy to help?" )
