Chapter 568 Traitor
Chapter 568 Traitor
Lie Jiaoyang's smile froze on his face, and Lin Hao rolled his eyes at him.
"Don't take advantage of me here! I'm older than you! You haven't even called me brother yet, and you want to be my uncle?"
Lin Hao touched his chin, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Let's not talk about age difference. Just because your father and I are sworn brothers, isn't it right for you to call me uncle?"
Lie Jiaoyang put away the smile on his face and asked seriously, "Can my uncle protect my sister for the rest of her life?"
Lin Hao had never seen Lie Jiaoyang look so serious. Although he spoke softly and seemed to be just mumbling to himself, Lin Hao who was standing opposite him still heard it.
Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"
Lin Hao always felt that the previous words were not something Lie Jiaoyang would say.
Even though he heard it clearly before, he couldn't help but ask again.
Lie Jiaoyang's originally serious expression instantly collapsed. He couldn't help but burst out laughing, holding his stomach.
As if because he laughed too hard, a tear slowly fell from the corner of his eye and slid down his cheek.
Lie Jiaoyang wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes casually, rubbed his stomach to relax, and then said: "I was joking, Hao, you won't take it seriously, right? Well, I won't chat with you anymore, I have to go back and take these two things to Elder Mo."
When Lin Hao saw this, the uneasiness that had arisen in his heart disappeared.
When he saw Lie Jiaoyang turning around, Lin Hao didn't know why, but he always felt that there was a hint of loneliness in his back.
Lin Hao paused, but still spoke inexplicably: "Since you just called me uncle, I will naturally protect Jiaojiao. Not only Jiaojiao, I will also protect you for the rest of your life."
Lin Hao didn't know why he was so eager to respond to Lie Jiaoyang's joking words.
But Lin Hao always had a feeling in his heart that he had to answer Lie Jiaoyang's question.
Lie Jiaoyang paused, he did not turn around, he just turned his head and smiled ostentatiously, as hot and fiery as the sun.
"Okay, it's a deal, little uncle. You know what? I hate people who bully my sister, but I'm also grateful to people who protect her. My sister is my bottom line and my belief."
Lin Hao's expression froze, and Lie Jiaoyang's words echoed in Lin Hao's ears.
He always felt that the other party seemed to want to express something, but before he could figure it out, Lie Jiaoyang had already turned and left.
Things remained peaceful for another two days, and Lin Hao continued to train in an orderly manner at his own pace.
Xiaotian still hasn't come back, and there is still no way to repair the Hongmeng Lihuo Sword.
But things here were relatively calm, but the situation at Tianji Pavilion became tense.
Nangong Yejin's face was gloomy as he looked at Si Li, who was tied up and kneeling in front of him.
Luo Zheng stood aside, lowering his head and saying nothing. No one could tell what he was thinking.
There were only three of them in the entire hall, but none of them spoke.
The hall was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was Nangong Yejin's rapid breathing due to anger.
"Why betrayed Tianji Pavilion?" Nangong Yejin was the first to break the silence.
Si Li did not answer, but just lowered his head, as if he was a puppet without any perception.
Nangong Yejin continued, "You came to Tianji Pavilion before you could walk, and I watched you grow up with my own eyes.
You took the wrong path before, and I gave you the chance to choose again and again. I thought you finally woke up, but I didn't expect that you didn't wake up, but you just knew how to hide better than before!"
Si Li still didn't say anything. He had nothing to refute. Since ancient times, one could not be both loyal and filial.
It was he who chose to betray the Tianji Pavilion that raised him, so Si Li had nothing to say now.
But if you ask him if he regrets it, Si Li will only answer - no regrets!
If he had felt uneasy about betraying Tianji Pavilion before, when Si Li saw Canghai Wuya's miserable condition, his last trace of guilt disappeared completely.
If Si Li really continues to cover his eyes and does things for the Tianji Pavilion against his conscience, then he will live in regret for the rest of his life!
Luo Zheng, who was standing aside, saw that Si Li didn't reply, so he glanced at the seat of honor carefully.
The Pavilion Master's face became increasingly darker, and the murderous intent in his eyes became increasingly stronger; Luo Zheng was all too familiar with this gaze.
His heart sank suddenly. Before the Pavilion Master could completely vent his anger, he took a step forward and calmly separated Si Li from the Pavilion Master.
Luo Zheng risked being implicated by the Pavilion Master and said, "Li'er, the Pavilion Master asked you a question, answer it quickly!"
Although Si Li had made Luo Zheng feel threatened in his status before.
But after all, the other party was the child he raised since childhood, and Luo Zheng truly loved him. He did not want Si Li to be killed by the Pavilion Master.
Seeing that Si Li still had no intention of speaking, the murderous intent in Nangong Yejin's eyes was gradually turning into reality.
Luo Zheng bravely risked his life and stood in front of Si Li again, bowing and saying, "Master, please hand this traitor over to me. I will definitely get something useful out of him!"
Nangong Yejin knew that this was an excuse Luo Zheng found to save Si Li's life.
Now that the war was about to begin, Nangong Yejin still needed this useful helper for the time being, so he acquiesced to Luo Zheng's approach.
Anyway, these people will be stepping stones for his ascension to heaven in the future. In his opinion, it makes no difference whether this traitor lives two days more or two days less.
Nangong Yejin waved his hand in agreement, which made Luo Zheng feel relieved.
When Si Li was dragged away, he looked calm and had already accepted his failure.
In other words, when Si Li made the decision in the first place, he was always prepared for failure.
Although he didn't know how Nangong Yejin discovered him.
But Si Li had nothing to be afraid of, as he had already prepared a retreat route to ensure that Shi Ba and the others would not be discovered.
From beginning to end, Nangong Yejin would only find him.
After Si Li was taken away, Luo Zheng felt relieved. He respectfully bowed to Nangong Yejin again.
"Master, do you want to continue the attack?"
Nangong Yejin was sitting at the top with his eyes closed. When he heard Luo Zheng's words, he suddenly opened his eyes. His calm eyes stared at Luo Zheng, and his gaze gradually became sharp.
"Why not continue? Now that the traitor has been caught, we should start the massacre plan without restraint!"
"Yes."
Nangong Yejin's sudden change of gaze made Luo Zheng tremble involuntarily, and he bent his back a little bit and responded respectfully.
Lin Hao spent a few days in peace.
The tranquility of life in the past two days made Lin Hao recall the time before the demons invaded.
At that time, Master and Senior Sister were still alive, and there was not as much sadness on everyone’s face as there is now, only the unbridled boldness that is unique to young people.
Although this period of time was peaceful and tranquil, Lin Hao did not indulge in the false peace on the surface.
He knew that this was just the last bit of calm hidden beneath the storm with dark clouds rolling in.
