Chapter 21: Looking Back is a Strange Thing

"Have you thought about the consequences?" the Fifth Elder asked again.

Hu Lie nodded again without hesitation.

"Well, I'm not going to stop you anymore. But I can't help you, that...... You have to understand. ”

The Fifth Elder's tone was deep, but the meaning was very clear, no matter what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den was over there, even if Hu Lie didn't go back this time, he wouldn't send someone to help.

With the relationship between the two of them, it seems a bit unsympathetic to do this, but in fact, the five elders are also helpless.

He knew the temper of the Second Elder very well, if he still sent someone to help Hu Lie in this situation, then the Second Elder who felt insulted would definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and would even use this as an excuse to fall out with himself.

They are all the heads of the same clan, and if the two clans are not harmonious and have disagreements, it will be extremely detrimental to the future of the spirit race.

Therefore, no matter how the fifth elder tried to help Hu Lie, at least at this time, he couldn't say anything, he did it for the sake of the overall situation.

Even if they value Hu Lie again, compared to the entire clan, the five elders can certainly distinguish which is more important.

On the other hand, this could also calm the Second Elder's anger a little, so that he would not immediately attack Hu Lie.

"I know. ”

Hu Lie took a deep breath: "This is my own business, naturally I will go by myself." ”

The Fifth Elder looked at him deeply: "Since that's the case...... Let's go, bear all the consequences!"

The second elder's face was gloomy and almost dripping, and he asked, "Fifth Elder, is this your attitude?"

The fifth elder said: "Brother Cheng, no matter how you explain it, this time we are not right first, and later, I will personally visit the mansion." ”

When he said the visit, he naturally meant to apologize.

"You think that's the way to go?"

The second elder said: "Don't forget, how this family business was decided in the first place! Where will my old face be left when he leaves? How should I distinguish my Lin'er's name!"

"From now on, my Cheng family will become the laughing stock of the entire clan! Do you think it can be solved with a few words from you?"

The fifth elder was silent for a moment: "Please also ask Brother Cheng to take a break from the anger of the thunder for the sake of our friendship for many years, in short, I will give you a satisfactory explanation of this matter!"

"......Satisfied?"

A cold light flickered in the eyes of the second elder, as if it was about to explode at any moment.

Cheng Jingtang kept sneering, and his slender right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Thank you, Elder!" Hu Lie looked solemn.

Of course, he knew how much pressure the Fifth Elder was under in doing this, and even that he would be inferior to the Second Elder from now on.

In other words, the clansmen of the Fifth Elder's lineage will be a little shorter in front of the clansmen on the side of the Second Elder.

It is indeed very difficult for a person like the Fifth Elder who values face and dignity.

And all this because of yourself!

Hu Lie's heart was extremely moved.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other.

No one expected that the elbow and armpit, a good happy event, would have such a big reversal in a short period of time.

If you look at it from the standpoint of the second elder, with Hu Lie's current identity and status, being able to tie the knot with Cheng Lin'er is definitely a high climb.

Those who knew the inside story immediately remembered that Hu Lie's father, Hu Qing, had made great contributions to the Spirit Clan by virtue of his superb strength.

The five elders cultivated him wholeheartedly, hoping that he would be able to take over the position of patriarch and elder after a hundred years.

Even His Majesty the Spirit Emperor once praised Hu Qing's talent to his face, saying that he was expected to be promoted to the Imperial Protector.

You must know that this identity is higher than the patriarch, and it is the personal guard of the Spirit Emperor, and there is almost no one in the Spirit Clan who does not envy this identity.

It was at that time that the Hucheng family decided to kiss the baby.

At that time, Hu Lie had just turned one year old.

It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances.

A few years later, it was the young and high-spirited Hu Qing who was trapped in an ambush while performing a mission, and finally died in battle, leaving behind his frail wife and Hu Lie, who was only five or six years old.

Soon after, Hu Lie's mother missed her deceased husband, and her illness deteriorated, and she finally vomited blood and returned to heaven.

Since then, Hu Lie has become a helpless orphan.

The five elders remembered their former affection, brought Xiao Hulie back to him to raise, and taught and cultivated with all his heart for more than ten years, without interruption.

Over the years, although Hu Lie's growth is gratifying, his status is far from that of Hu Qing when he was alive.

Later, the third elder vaguely told the second elder that his only son admired Cheng Lin'er very much, and even reached the point where he didn't want to eat.

But because there was a promise first, and there were five elders who made peace with them, the second elder finally did not regret it.

However, he still seemed to be very helpless to let Hu Lie and Cang Ruoyuan have a try under the repeated requests of the three elders.

Of course, the Fifth Elder understood what he meant.

It's just that he wants to regret it, and then marry the three elders, but because of his bad face, he made such a trick.

Fortunately, Hu Lie was very competitive, and when he was obviously one level lower than the other party, he still beat Cang Ruoyuan's nose and face were swollen, and he was defeated and lost.

Originally, the result was already obvious, but in this world, there will always be some narrow-minded people.

I don't know what means the third elder used to get the second elder to agree, if it comes to the marriage period, Hu Lie's strength cannot reach the realm of unity, then there is still room for this family affair to turn around.

Angry is angry, after all, the daughter belongs to someone else, and in desperation, the five elders can only agree.

This is why Hu Lie later went out alone in order to improve his strength.

After countless twists and turns, now he finally got his wish, but Hu Lie actually left at this time, in the eyes of many people, this kid's head must be broken.

Otherwise, how could such an unwise act be made!

But there are also people who understand and understand Hu Lie.

When his brother was in trouble, he did not hesitate to go to the rescue at such an important time, and he would probably put himself in it.

This alone is enough to show that he is a manly man who values love and righteousness and is worthy of deep friendship!

Of course, no matter what other people think, it mainly depends on the attitude of the person concerned.

For a while, the hall was silent, and the atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

At this moment, a faint and indifferent voice sounded.

"Shouldn't you ask me about this first?"

Cheng Lin'er gently took off the big red hijab on her head.

The skin is as white as snow, the blow can be broken, the eyes are bright and the teeth are bright, the eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and a stunning and almost suffocating beautiful face appears.

Everyone immediately held their breath, and suddenly it felt as if the hall had become brighter.

She walked towards Hu Lie step by step, and her beautiful face was like a layer of frost at this time, with a thrilling coldness.

"I just want you to answer me, whether the wife is important or the brother is important. Cheng Lin'er's tone was like the wind in the cold winter, although it was plain, it was extremely cold.

"Lin'er, you know that I am willing to do anything for you, including giving my life! But now that Dao Yuan and Thunder are in trouble, I can't watch them ......

"Enough. ”

Cheng Lin'er interrupted him, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes: "In the end, you still have to go, so there's no point in talking about anything else." ”

Hu Lie said in a deep voice: "When I come back, no matter how you beat and scold and punish me, even if you want my life, Hu Lie will never complain!"

Cheng Lin'er said expressionlessly: "When you come back, at that time, we were already strangers." ”
