Chapter 18: The Mysterious Study
"Brother Du, although the days of friendship between you and me are still short, I know very well that you are a human being, and you will not do such things for no reason, there must be a reason, no matter what, it is better to go back with me and explain to the head of the family, he is an old man and a saint, and he will definitely make the right decision. Han Daniu slowly approached, stared at Du Fan, and said word by word.
"Brother Hu, I didn't plan to leave all at once, I just hope that Ruoxi and Xiaohu will leave, and I will go back with you now to explain everything to the head of the family. Du Fan took a deep breath and looked directly at the other party.
"The head of the house ordered, take the three of you back. Hu Daniu's eyes were persistent, staring at Du Fan.
"Brother Hu, you are not the only one who came, but you are the only one who appeared here, presumably to separate the others. I believe that Brother Hu is also suspicious of my move, plus what happened a few days ago, so he wants to give me a chance to explain, here, little brother, thank you. Du Fan slowly spoke, clenching his fists and bowing.
"However, Brother Hu still doesn't know about this matter...... I can only say that if Ruoxi is brought back by you, then she will face life is worse than death. Du Fan continued to speak, and after finishing speaking, his eyes were firmly fixed on Hu Daniu, and the atmosphere became calm and weird.
Hu Da Niu also looked at Du Fan, as if he was scrutinizing, and seemed to be groaning, after a long time, his expression eased, and he sighed silently: "Ruoxi, this child is something I grew up watching, smart and innocent and kind, I like her very much." Since she was a child, she has been active, and she prefers to dance with knives and sticks, and I once gave her a golden goose knife, how can I bear to see her end up miserable, but Brother Du, I can't help you. ”,...,
As soon as Hu Daniu's words fell, sparse footsteps sounded behind him, and after a while, five or six figures appeared beside Hu Daniu.
"Senior Brother Hu, there is no one in other directions!" said one of the sturdy young men dressed in the clothes of a disciple of the Yao family.
"Take Du Fan down. The eldest lady fled in that direction, and the others chased after them quickly!" Hu Daniu pointed out a direction and shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
First, one of the disciples captured Du Fan, and the others shot in the direction that Hu Daniu pointed out.
When he saw the direction of Hu Daniu's finger, Du Fan's heart was relieved, and he glanced at Hu Daniu gratefully, and then stopped making a sound.
......
Three days later, at dusk, on the edge of the southern part of the jungle, a man and a woman jumped out of the forest, looking a little tired, but at this time it was difficult to hide their excitement.
"Xiaohu, I finally came out, I didn't expect this jungle to be much bigger than we imagined before, and after separating from Du Fan, I walked for four days before I came out of this ghost place. ”
These two are Yao Ruoxi and Xiaohu, who separated from Du Fan three days ago, and it was Yao Ruoxi who spoke at this time.
"Sister Ruoxi. Brother Du, he'll be fine. Xiaohu breathed heavily, and the excitement on his face disappeared, replaced by intense worry. ,...,
"It's going to be fine, he's very familiar with the jungle environment, and he'll definitely leave the family behind. Let's go, go to Xinghuo Town, and when we get there, we'll meet again!" Yao Ruoxi's heart was also full of worry, but his face did not show the slightest, his eyes were firm, and he pulled Xiaohu forward.
......
In a dimly lit secret room, it was pitch black with no fingers visible, but due to the reflection of the two braziers, the scene inside the house could be faintly seen.
There was nothing but an iron door on the cold walls all around, not even a single window. The display in the house was very simple, except for a wooden cross and two braziers, on which were chains, and within the chains was a man with a disheveled head, and a wound on his body and face, and he could not see his appearance clearly.
In the brazier, the flames swayed, accompanied by the sound of "Zila" when burning, illuminating the entire secret room flickering and darkening, showing the eerie and terrifying. ...,
The iron door slowly opened, and walked in, this person was tall, his eyes were blazing, and his majesty was exposed, it was Yao Batian, the contemporary head of the Yao family.
"Du Fan, I treat you well on weekdays, why do you do this, I will only give you one chance!" Yao Batian glanced at the person on the wooden frame, snorted heavily, and was angry. ,...,
The person who was tied up on the wooden frame slowly raised his head, and through the messy hair and wounds, he could vaguely see a little bit of Du Fan's appearance.
"Master of the house, I won't say much other nonsense, you listen well!"
Du Fan was weak and weak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that made Yao Batian stunned, but after Yao Batian's eyes flashed, he did not interrupt the other party.
"When I stayed overnight in the Purple Mountain Sect that day, I found a female disciple named Chu Qian sneaky, and I followed her to Wu Hao's residence......"
Du Fan recounted what he heard and saw when he hid outside the window that day, the matter between Wu Hao and Chu Qian, Wu Hao married Ruoxi in order to keep him in captivity so as to obtain Yuan Yin and seek a breakthrough...... Wu Cangyuan premeditated the position of the head of Zishan, as well as the collusion between the second master of the Yao family and Wu Cangyuan.
After that, Du Fan exhaled lightly, lowered his head again and stopped talking, thinking to himself, there are no regrets in this life, but it is a pity that if he dies like this, there is no possibility for his soul to return to the earth.
Yao Batian was silent, he didn't get angry, roared loudly, or doubted Du Fan, after a period of uncertainty on his face, his arm suddenly struck, and several rays of light shot out from his fingers, and after the buzz, the iron cable on the wooden frame was broken.
Without the fixation of the chains, Du Fan was physically exhausted and shriveled on the ground, but at this time, he suddenly looked up at Yao Batian, his eyes suspicious. ,...,
"It's hard for you, what you've done...... I'm grateful. Yao Batian took a deep breath and said solemnly to Du Fan, his words sincere.
"Do you believe what I just said?" Du Fan was really a little surprised at this time.
"Hmph, you're really thinking I'm an old fool. I can still distinguish between right and wrong! The logic you said is reasonable and flawless, and at the same time, it has also solved my doubts for many years. I might as well tell you that I have long been suspicious of the Wu family's father and son, and I also have my own arrangements. Yao Batian snorted heavily, his eyes widening.
"Take this elixir and come with me. ”
A blue pill suddenly appeared in Du Fan's hand, and after being stunned for a moment, he grabbed it without hesitation and put it in his mouth. It melts in the mouth, a warm current travels through the body, and the skin injury heals quickly.
Du Fan let out a ** sounded comfortably, then lifted his spirits, got up and followed Yao Batian.
After a cup of tea, Du Fan followed Yao Batian to a study.
Yao Batian walked to the end of the bookshelf, turned a page of one of the books, and on a wall outside the book, after a blur, a curtain of water appeared.
Yao Batian walked over and reached into the water curtain, and then pulled out. A small palm-sized item wrapped in golden silk cloth suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a flick of his hand, he threw it to Du Fan. ,...,
Du Fan subconsciously took this thing, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he started very lightly.
"Master, who are you?"
"You can't open this thing, keep it properly, and when you see Ruoxi personally handing it over to her in the future, you will say that this thing is a family heirloom of the Yao family. Yao Batian waved his hand to stop Du Fan from asking, and he couldn't say such an order.
Yao Batian returned to the book just now, turned the second page, and on the floor not far from Du Fan's side, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and a passage to the underground was separated after a while.
"Get out of here, the exit is the jungle you've been to before. Yao Batian said solemnly.
"Family Master, although I don't know much about how deep the water of Tianxiang Country is, but I also know that your situation is not good at this time, why don't you take your cronies and leave with you, live in seclusion, and share your family with your daughter in the future, wouldn't it be better? ...,
"You...... Great, though, it's not as simple as you think, and I still have unfinished business to deal with. Back then, I was negligent for a while, and I was calculated once, and now I want to harm me again, I'm afraid it's not so easy, it's time to clean up the portal, even if the Purple Mountain Sect participates, I have to fight with them!" After staring at Du Fan for a long time, Yao Batian showed appreciation, and at the same time his expression was dumbfounded. ,...,
"Since the head of the family has something to consider...... Then I don't need to say more, I hope you take care. Du Fan clenched his fists and bowed, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Du Fan, you must take good care of Ruoxi, if she agrees, you can marry her, and I will entrust Ruoxi to you. Yao Batian's eyes flashed, and suddenly. So said.
"The head of the family, I only think of her as a sister, I have never thought about what you said, and I will never think about it in the future, but I will definitely do my best to take care of her. Du Fan was stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly, shook his head, and turned around and walked into the passage to the underground.
Looking at Du Fan's disappearing back. Yao Batian's eyes showed a touch of relief, and there seemed to be something on the palm of one hand shrunk in the cuff, and the cold light flashed and disappeared.
If Du Fan had a little covetousness at that time, I'm afraid he would have fallen here by now.
"This son is good, with him, I can do things with confidence. Yao Batian's expression was calm, but his words were cold, and the momentum on his body suddenly exploded.
