In a small courtyard in a small town, four people sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was extremely awkward.
The three-year-old Niu Niu neither cried nor fussed, but stared straight at Wu Ming with her big, dark, red eyes, as if the latter had flowers on his face but could still see flowers even if there were no flowers.
Qingzhu fiddled with the bamboo stick in his hand and ignored it, obviously not wanting to get involved.
Hong Lian had a calm expression on her face. Although she no longer had the old and hunched appearance of the washerwoman before, she still had an extremely sluggish aura, but it was still obvious that she was useless!
"Master!"
The sound of the red lotus is like mosquitoes and flies, stirring the corners of the clothes, chattering.
"Emma, isn't he your husband-in-law?"
Niuniu blinked her big eyes.
It seems that the words of a child are innocent, but there is no one here who is not a human being. It is natural to see that the little guy is as big as a brat. He has obviously remembered Honglian's previous words, "Call me daddy!"
"Ahem!"
Qingzhu hid his face, not daring to look, pretending not to hear, for fear of being reckoned with later.
"snort!"
Wu Ming's eyes twitched hard, and he felt irritated for no reason. With his character, he would never get angry with a child, but for some reason, he just didn't want to have too much to do with children anymore, so he said with a cold face, "
You are very capable, you gave up your bloodline of the Sky Demon just to cast a secret sealing technique, but you didn’t have any self-awareness and got yourself involved!"
With his eyesight, he could clearly see that Honglian had ended up in the current situation. In addition to being covered in hidden injuries, new injuries, and old injuries, it was obviously because the bloodline of the Heavenly Demon and Flower Princess in his body was gone, and he had lost one of his biggest trump cards!
"This child is destined to me, she is..."
Honglian's face turned pale and she hurriedly explained.
If we say who the queen in charge of the ant nest or the Blood Lotus Saint of Baihua Palace is most afraid of, it is naturally Wu Ming!
"I don't care who she is!"
Wu Ming waved his hands indifferently and said with a stern look, "If her parents are still alive, she will be returned to her parents. Human relations are determined by nature. Do not interfere arbitrarily. If there are irreversible reasons, raise her well and do not teach her messy things."
!”
"yes!"
Hong Lian obeyed the Tao like a young daughter-in-law who was angry.
"You're not Eminem's husband, why are you so cruel?"
The little girl refused.
In addition to being resentful of being wronged by his mother-in-law, he is also resentful of being ignored. Is there anything wrong with being young?
"Niuniu, don't talk nonsense!"
Honglianqing scolded.
"I don't. He is not your husband-in-law, nor is he the great hero you said he was. Why..."
The little girl pouted and yelled, as if she never thought the person in front of her was so scary, even though she had calmed down so many vicious bad guys once she came.
"Don't be rude!"
Honglian was anxious and raised her hand to strike, but was stopped.
"When adults are talking, children can't interrupt. I'll teach you to be a good boy today!"
Wu Ming flicked his hand to the side and said with a cold face.
"Candied Haw Lu..."
The little girl looked around and saw a small bench next to it. There were several candied haws on the table and chairs, as well as various exquisite candies and snacks, all of which were the most attractive snacks for children.
"Hmph!"
The corners of Wu Ming's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an evil smile. He was a little too young to fight with him!
With just such a few little things, even the naughty Dragon Girl was dealt with back then, but they couldn't deal with a dragster?
But looking at Honglian's current miserable state, you know how she is living. She has to hide here and there. How can she meet the most basic needs of a child?
Sure enough, although the little girl resisted turning her head away, she couldn't help but glance at her big black eyes.
"snort!"
Just noticing the evil man's gaze, the little girl stiffened her body and swallowed honestly.
"Master!"
Honglian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She never thought that Wu Ming would have such a side, that he would be angry with a child.
Bah!
Not to mention that, Wu Ming stretched out his hand and took out a candied haws, and sipped it directly into his mouth. It had a crunchy sound, so sour and refreshing!
"Gudu!"
The little girl swallowed her saliva and her eyes turned red again. She just felt that this was the worst evil person in the world, and he would not bully others like this!
Qingzhu couldn't sit still anymore. He always felt that something was wrong with Wu Ming today and was out of character. He immediately took out a few gadgets like magic and took the little girl aside, coaxing and teasing her in a low voice.
The little girl was not afraid of anything, as if she was born to be fearless. She puffed her cheeks and looked at Wu Ming, as if this evil man was more attractive than the tempting snacks!
"Young master, please forgive me. I have been hiding here and there in the past few years and have neglected to discipline this child!"
Honglian said apologetically.
"Then take good care of it!"
Wu Ming waved his hands irritably, turned his head away, and stopped looking at the little girl.
For no reason, he actually felt a little guilty, but he just couldn't help it. He always felt that something big had happened, but he couldn't grasp what was wrong.
Perhaps it was because of the scene that the two girls, Zi Qing and Yu Linglong, including Liu Yixue and Lu Zijin, were okay. They were already half-grown girls when they met back then, but he watched the former two grow up.
Even though he and Yu Linglong had only met each other a few times, they fell in love with each other, but what happened in the end?
Due to various circumstances, they all seemed to part ways in the end and became almost strangers. The sense of accomplishment that Wu Ming was once proud of was almost shattered into pieces!
Hong Lian quickly stood up, ran to Niu Niu in small steps, and whispered a few words of comfort, sometimes softly, sometimes harshly, and finally coaxed the little girl to stop staring at Wu Ming!
"snort!"
Finally, the little girl glanced at Wu Ming arrogantly and couldn't wait to enjoy the various snacks, but she still secretly glanced at Wu Ming from time to time.
Is this evil man really my father?
No, Eminem calls him Young Master!
No one would have thought that this little girl, who was only three years old, after three years of wandering life, would be far wiser and more mature than ordinary children of the same age!
"Brother, why don't we leave here?"
Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.
There's nothing more tiring than taking care of one kid, and if anything, it's taking care of two kids, one of whom has a bigger fist than you!
"It doesn't matter, some things must be explained after all!"
Wu Ming flicked his hand on the table, and the delicacies of spiritual fruits appeared one after another, his expression was indescribably calm.
Qingzhu frowned, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
Normally, he would not be worried at all, but now Wu Ming is obviously not in good condition. Now that he has saved the person, he refuses to leave.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!
Wu Ming is not a gentleman, but he should not stay directly near the capital. If he stays too long, he will undoubtedly put himself in danger!
"Master, this servant's matter is not urgent. Don't let a small thing cost you a big thing!"
Honglian said softly.
In her opinion, she had suffered so much, and with Wu Ming's character, he was ready to vent his anger on her!
I think back then, when something happened to the Prince's soldiers, Wu Ming destroyed the entire street!
Now that not even a single person has been killed, it is definitely not because of any scruples, but because he may be holding back some big move and is preparing to make a big splash!
Although he knew that his young master was extremely smart and had no tricks at all, and had protected them from wind and rain for many years, he still didn't want Wu Ming to do something that would endanger himself in anger!
"Humph, I'll settle the score with you later. Do you really think that you can get away with it just by being pitiful?"
Wu Ming said angrily.
"yes!"
The red lotus bowed its head and promised, its voice was like a mosquito or fly.
To her, it would be a bad thing if her young master spoke lightly, but speaking harshly like this would be a real concern.
Who cares whether you live or die if you have nothing to do with someone?
Unexpectedly, Wu Ming really didn't think too much. It was just that the irritability in his heart was getting stronger and stronger, but he could not find the source. He, who was always good at thinking calmly, felt as if his heart was blocked.
"Brother, if someone does come later, it's better to let Sister Honglian and the child stay away first!"
Qingzhu felt that sitting there like this was not a problem. He was the only sane person left in the field, so he couldn't just wait around.
"That's fine!"
Wu Ming also knew that he was not in the right state, and there was always time to ask some questions. He immediately waved his hand and sent the little girl with her mouth full of sugar residue and Honglian into the boundary bead.
"call……"
Wu Ming was puzzled. The depression in his heart seemed to have eased a lot. He couldn't help but said, "Is this just out of sight and out of mind?"
"cough!"
Qingzhu suppressed his laughter and almost dropped the bamboo pole in his hand.
"You leave first!"
Wu Ming said with a cold face, waving his hands.
"Brother..."
Qingzhu's expression changed slightly.
"When people come later, your presence won't help, and... there may not be a fight!"
Wu Mingdao.
"Brother, be careful!"
Qingzhu couldn't help it, so he stood up and left.
"Get out of here, do you really think that I don't dare to kill anyone?"
Wu Ming took a deep breath, and his tyrannical consciousness swept out.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, muffled groans mixed with pain came one after another, passing by like muffled thunder. Looking from a distance, hundreds of escaping lights hurried away.
The strange thing is that it did not affect the ordinary people in the city at all, and even the previous battles had no impact at all!
"A bunch of rats!"
Wu Ming coolly exposed himself and felt that the stagnation in his heart was getting lighter, but it had no intention of dissipating.
As a last resort, I used the exercises to restrain my mind and sat upright in the courtyard, like an old monk in meditation, making sculptures out of clay, and the sound gradually disappeared.
The sun rose and set, the moon and stars were sparse, and another day and night passed.
"Oh, it's really fast!"
Wu Ming suddenly woke up, the violent light in his eyes flashed away, and he turned to look to the east calmly.
Whoosh!
Five rays of escaping light arrived like lightning and came close in a moment. After hovering silently over the town for a week, they landed accurately in the courtyard.
"Oh!"
Wu Ming glanced at the five people calmly, flicked his hand on the table, changed the food and wine, and said calmly, "Please sit down!"
Zhao Shuhang's pupils shrank, and he walked forward with a calm expression, sitting opposite Wu Ming. After scanning the courtyard, he landed on Wu Ming again.
His intuition told him that the Wu Ming who shouted to fight and kill was definitely not as scary as the current Wu Ming!
"After all these years, the prince's style remains the same, which is gratifying!"
Xu Qiulan said a thousand blessings and took a seat with a gentle step.
"Make the Fairy Lady laugh!"
Wu Ming laughed, but his eyes were surprisingly soft.
"Your Majesty is here calm and composed, but some people are restless!"
Miaozhen was still the heroic Kun Dao, with thick eyebrows raised and a smile full of laughter.
The last two people, Luo Wuhua and Tian Huoxuan, sat down without saying a word, but their expressions were a bit tense. (To be continued)
