Chapter 290 In His Mind
Chapter 290 In His Mind
Tao Yanyan could see that although his father was the former Demon Lord, his strength was average. If he wanted to protect himself, he still had to rely on this adopted brother.
Because everything depends on this person's thoughts.
So, she pulled his sleeve like a scoundrel and questioned him, demanding an explanation and an attitude from him.
The Demon Lord looked at the angry sister standing in front of him, and then looked at the aggressive Demon Cult members led by the old lady, and said helplessly: "About my treatment, Taoist priest did not tell the truth before. Let me think about it again. Old lady, you go back first and don't interfere in this matter anymore." After saying that, he waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave.
The old lady's face froze. "Xingchuan, you must not be soft-hearted because of a little blood relationship. You are the hope of our Demon Cult. If you don't take good care of yourself, how can you carry forward the Demon Cult in the future? Grandmother has suggested several marriages for you. You have to get well so that you can have children for the Demon Cult!"
When the Demon Lord heard about the marriage, he became a little annoyed: "I know, I will take care of it, old lady, please go back."
Seeing his firm attitude, the old lady and the elders had to go back in disappointment. When leaving, the old lady did not forget to glare at Tao Yanyan fiercely. Her eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Tao Yanyan also looked back fiercely, but it still lacked some killing power.
The Demon Lord, who had a sight of everything, curled his lips in amusement. He was obviously weak and unable to take care of himself, but he looked fierce and aggressive, like a little beast.
After the people left, the Demon Lord turned to the Taoist priest and said, "Put aside the blood collection for now. Taoist priest, think of another way. Blood from the heart is absolutely not acceptable."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Tao Yanyan didn't want to stay any longer, but Qi Yizheng was still here. She took a silent look at him before turning around and leaving.
Seeing that the two had left, Mu Yu naturally wanted to leave as well, but he used a sneak attack on the Taoist priest, directly knocking him three meters away: "Humph, you dare to plot against my daughter, this is what you deserve!"
The Taoist priest didn't expect to be ambushed by Mu Yu. He had no way to avoid the palm strike and had to take it. He might have suffered internal injuries.
Qi Yizheng, with a dull look in his eyes, turned around expressionlessly and went to the pharmacy to continue tinkering with the medicine. When no one could see, he frowned slightly.
Tao Yanyan went all the way back to Xianju Pavilion where he lived, dismissed everyone, and then quietly took out a small note from his sleeve pocket.
This was something that Qi Yizheng had secretly put in her hand when she went to arrest him. There were many people around at the time, and there were many spies, so she couldn't read it. Now when she opened it, she saw a line of words written on it: "There is a secret passage in Huajian Hall, leave quickly."
Tao Yanyan was shocked. He originally thought that Qi Yizheng had lost his mind after being poisoned. But now it seemed that he still recognized him and gave him this very important news.
So, since he knew there was a secret passage, why didn't Qi Yizheng leave?
Why on earth did he continue to stay and pretend to be a fool by the side of the old Taoist?
Tao Yanyan felt that she urgently needed to find someone to discuss things with. She usually didn't like to think about these things, but now they were all coming at her and she was really having a headache.
As for the Demon Lord, he was also hesitant after returning. Although he was not familiar with this adopted sister, she had saved his life after all. He really couldn't bear to be so cruel as to draw her blood.
He can't do it, but someone can.
After nightfall, a group of masked masters went straight to Xianju Pavilion and fought with the guards there.
As soon as Weilan found the assassin, she quickly pulled Tao Yanyan up from her sleep, wrapped her in a cloak, and led her to fight and retreat. Tao Yanyan didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she hid barefoot, cursing the Demon Lord a thousand times in her heart.
Perhaps having heard Tao Yanyan's thoughts, the Demon Lord hurried over and joined the fight.
"Capture him alive. I want to see who is so bold as to launch a surprise attack on me!" Following the order, the guards rushed forward to fight. Seeing that they were no match for the assassins, they retreated one after another.
"Chase, catch him, and torture him severely!" The guards chased him out, and the Demon Lord stayed behind. Looking at Tao Yanyan, who was standing barefoot on the ground with disheveled hair, he tightened her cloak and carried her horizontally: "Don't be afraid, I'll take you back right away."
When he returned to the room, he found the floor messy and smelled a bit of blood. Tao Yanyan felt like vomiting and couldn't help but swallowing twice.
The Demon Lord was helpless and asked, "Is there any other place to live?"
Wei Lan thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "The Huajiantang not far away is quite quiet, but it's empty now."
When Tao Yanyan heard the three words "Huajiantang", his eyes darkened.
"Then move to Huajiantang first, and move back after this place is cleaned up." said the Demon Lord.
Weilan went to pack her luggage, Tao Yanyan wiped his feet, changed his clothes, and moved to the new residence overnight.
The eldest lady was furious when she heard that all the masters had failed: "Didn't I tell you to make a quick decision, quickly take her heart blood and then retreat? How come you can't even handle such a small matter, and let someone catch you?"
The assassin who escaped back said hurriedly: "Madam, the guard is too good at fighting. It is very difficult for us to assassinate her. In addition, the Demon Lord suddenly arrived. The Demon Lord is very powerful. We are really no match for him. I hope Madam can think of a way quickly. If Lao Wu is caught, I am afraid he will betray you!"
The eldest lady glared at him fiercely: "So what if he confessed? I am doing this for his illness. If he can't make up his mind, then I, as his mother, will make it. In the end, it's all to save his life!"
The eldest lady was fearless. She thought that everything she did for her son was for his good and that her son should not blame her.
The Demon Lord already knew who was the assassin, and the confession he got from the captured person pointed to his mother, the First Madam, with 100% certainty.
The guardian beside him said indignantly: "The Madam is stretching her hand too far now. The Demon Lord just wanted to think of a way to get blood, but the Madam has already made a move to kill the young lady. This is really cruel."
The Demon Lord did not comment. This mother was very kind when he was a child. It was because of the emotional betrayal that she became what she is today. It was really sad and lamentable.
"The one called Lao Wu, cut off his legs and throw him to the Madam's yard. I will also tell the Madam: If the Madam wants to be the Demon Lord, I will make the decision for her. You can just say it directly. There is no need to do these things in secret."
The guardian frowned and said, "My Lord, the Madam will probably feel uncomfortable if you say that. Should we... be more tactful?" The guardian thought that after all, they were mother and son, so he had to give them some room.
The Demon Lord said calmly, "Just do whatever I tell you to do, and pass it on word for word."
I thought to myself: If you want to interfere in my affairs so much, then just do it openly. If you continue to be so unrestrained, then whoever wants to be the Demon Lord can do it.
