"Old senior, I understand what you mean."
Wan Yanyue nodded, and then gazed lovingly at Yang Dong, who was still in a coma, for a moment.
Finally she gritted her teeth, turned around and left.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be an extra item in her hand. She subconsciously raised her hand to look, only to see a soybean in it.
At the same time, Hong Laoliu's casual voice came to her ears.
"Ten miles to the west, someone is looking for you. Keep this soybean. If someone has evil intentions against you, throw the soybean away."
When Wan Yanyue heard this, a hint of doubt appeared on her cheeks.
She couldn't figure out how this soybean could save her. But then she thought about it and realized that the other party was a real master.
Thinking about it, there might be something special about this soybean.
Thinking of this, she carefully put away the soybeans, and then turned around to express her gratitude.
But when she turned around, she was shocked to find that Hong Laoliu and Yang Dong had disappeared.
Even the bonfire where the barbecue had been held had disappeared.
If it weren't for her memory being too clear just now, she would even doubt whether she had eaten barbecue just now.
Forget it, how can a mortal like me understand the methods of gods?
The top priority is to return to Houjin as soon as possible to fulfill Xiao Dongzi's wish and prevent the two countries from starting a full-scale war.
Thinking of this, Wan Yanyue couldn't help but speed up her steps.
…
On the other side, Hong Laoliu actually didn't go far with Yang Dong.
After he saw Wanyan Yue leave, he took Yang Dong with him again and found a quiet place with mountains and rivers.
He looked at Yang Dong who fell into coma and said to himself:
"You're a very lucky boy. But this time, the injury is really too serious. Even if you send it to Boss Jia, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do to save it."
"Alas! Why would you do this for a woman?"
Hong Laoliu shook his head and then looked at the sky aimlessly.
"Boss Jia said that after this disaster, you can get help from a noble person. But three days are about to pass, why doesn't that noble person show up yet?"
Speaking of this, a rare look of worry appeared in Hong Laoliu's eyes.
"That's all. Even if you lose your cultivation, with your intelligence, you won't be an unknown person. As long as you can make money, you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life."
"There's nothing wrong with being a rich man, don't you think?"
However, Yang Dong, who fell into a coma, could not answer his questions at all.
Hong Laoliu smiled helplessly, then skillfully picked up the wine gourd beside him and took a sip.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded next to his ears.
"How come the great Ancestor Hong, who was so famous back then, is in such a state of decline now?"
"Had I known this, would I have regretted leaving Lu?"
The words were clear and sweet, and there was a unique nobility in them.
The next moment, a bright figure fell gracefully from mid-air.
The woman's eyebrows were cold, and she exuded a cold temperament from the inside out. Wearing a lilac fairy skirt, she added a bit of luxury.
Aloofness and luxury appeared on her body at the same time, but there was no sense of incompatibility at all, as if she was born to be extremely noble.
When Hong Laoliu saw the visitor, his eyes narrowed slightly. But there was a hint of smile on his wrinkled old face.
"Ling girl, I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I didn't expect you to be so old now."
"Your father is pretty strong, right?"
He greeted the woman in front of him as if greeting an old friend. However, the cold expression on the woman's cheek did not show any fluctuation.
"Ancestor Hong, there's no need to reminisce about the past, right? After you defected, you were already on the opposite side of Lu."
"Now we are mortal enemies, not friends in the past. Of course, if Patriarch Hong is determined to leave Crazy Jia and return to the right path, I can say a few good words for him in front of your Majesty."
"Haha, I won't bother you, a junior, about this matter."
Hong Laoliu waved his hands one after another, still looking kind. But when he changed the topic, he directly pointed out the theme.
"Speaking of which, I'm afraid you didn't come here specifically to see me, an old guy."
"Tell me, what is your purpose?"
Having said this, he looked up and down at the woman in front of him, then chuckled:
"At such an age, you have entered the innate realm. Your girl's talent is indeed outstanding."
"But even so, if you want to take me back, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Let me guess...the purpose of your coming here this time is for this boy?"
He said, pointing to the unconscious Yang Dong beside him.
When the woman saw this, her eyes moved slightly, but on the surface, she pretended to be calm.
"Ancestor Hong, I dare to ask, is this kid the one that Madman Jia said should be robbed?"
"Yes, you guessed right, it's this kid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to come to a poor place like Youzhou just to save a person like him."
Upon hearing this, the expression on the woman's cheek froze slightly. Although she guessed Yang Dong's identity, she was still a little stunned when she heard Hong Laoliu's direct and unabashed words.
After all, according to common sense, this so-called person who deserves disaster should be protected to avoid premature death.
But judging from Hong Laoliu's intentions, he didn't seem to have any overly protective intentions. Otherwise, he would definitely not admit it so generously.
On the other side, Hong Laoliu seemed to see what the woman was thinking. He smiled casually and continued:
"To be honest, the reason why I left you in the first place was because I didn't want to touch these worldly things."
"You little girl don't know, this worldly matter is very troublesome!"
"I just want to hide away. Who is the person who deserves the disaster? What does it have to do with me? Even if there is a big disaster, I will not be the one who dies."
When the woman heard this, she couldn't help being slightly startled again.
Wait, all this seems to be a little different from what I guessed.
From what Hong Laoliu said, it seemed that he didn't care about anyone who should be robbed.
But in this case, why did he choose to save others?
Thinking of this, her eyes brightened slightly and she immediately asked:
"In this case, why did Ancestor Hong travel thousands of miles to come to Youzhou to save people?"
"If everything is true as the senior said, this boy's life and death seems to have little to do with you."
"No, no, you girl, it seems you only know one thing but not the other."
Hong Laoliu shook his head, then sat down on a boulder and drank some wine.
"To be honest, the reason why I saved this kid is because he is rich!"
"ah???"
This answer completely broke the woman's guard.
