Death has always been a heavy topic, whether it is a soul master or an ordinary person.
So the five men in black in the forest and Qianjie could only remain silent. Do you want to persuade them? Everything you say now is a bit weak, and everything that is not said by the person involved seems to be making sarcastic remarks.
Not to mention that Qianjie and the three of them actually sat back and watched all this happen, without any position to talk about it.
Huo Yulin didn't say anything.
After she got off Qianjie's back, she silently stared at the body that seemed to be sleeping soundly.
She had actually woken up when Sid arrived in the woods. Perhaps because she was wary of strangers, or perhaps because she was unwilling to face the tragic reality, she kept sleeping.
But she will always have to face it, sooner or later.
She didn't cry, she didn't make a fuss, she just stood there rooted to the ground. If the wind hadn't blown the hem of her skirt, people might have thought it was a porcelain person or puppet.
This state lasted for a long time, until there was thunder from the horizon.
It was probably not the anger of the God King. The dark clouds had been hanging in the sky for so long, so it was probably going to rain.
Or maybe there is still anger. It is a foregone conclusion that the target that should be in his pocket will be robbed. After all, from birth to God King, he is the only one who has robbed others. This is the first time that he has been robbed by others. It is understandable that he is more angry.
The thunder from the sky finally brought the three people in the forest back to their senses.
"My condolences." Syd's tone was dry. It was not okay to stay like this. Someone had to talk.
Huo Yulin turned his head stiffly like a machine that had long since decayed. The old agility in his eyes was no longer there, only gray and depressed, and his face was blank, or indifferent.
Sid took a step back, subconsciously avoiding the girl's gaze.
Then he seemed to realize something and took another step forward.
Hell, he was an eighth-level Contra soul mentor, but he backed away from a girl who hadn't even obtained a soul ring.
But he backed away again.
Regardless of his strength, the suppressed sadness was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
Qianjie stretched out his hand and stopped the Demon Emperor and Huo Yun'er's guards who wanted to say something. He walked slowly in front of Huo Yulin, blocked Huo Yulin's sight of Huo Yun'er, and looked directly at her.
They are both ten years old, but Huo Yulin is half a head shorter than him.
Huo Yulin also turned his head and looked at him blankly, as if he was not looking at anything, his eyes were completely unfocused.
Qianjie didn't say anything, he just opened a piece of candy and stuffed it into Huo Yulin's mouth. In this case, it's always better to have an acquaintance.
"Bad guy?" She finally seemed to have some energy and asked tentatively.
Qianjie nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a creature named Wisdom in the original book, it was actually a retarded creature. With a candy, she had already identified who it was.
"So you're pretty good-looking." There was finally a different color in her eyes. It was the surprise of meeting an acquaintance, and it was the feeling that she finally found an outlet for her grievances.
"Yeah." Qianjie nodded heavily again.
"I ran out so far, and my mother didn't ask me to go back." She whispered, trying hard to stick her head out, trying to get past the obstruction of Qianjie and cast her eyes on the sleeping person on the ground.
"Well, she's dead, it's time for you to grow up." Qianjie's tone had no fluctuations, as if he was stating the facts.
What he said is the truth.
"Mom is dead?" Her voice was full of confusion, and her tone was trembling slightly.
The already black night became even darker.
Someone covered her eyes.
"You can cry." The hand covering her eyes felt familiar. It had been hitting her forehead for the past seven days.
A trace of suppressed, painful sobs seemed to be extracted from the depths of the soul, scattered in the forest, weaving a dark sadness.
Something wet Qianjie's hand.
It's raining.
…
Duchess Xu Jiali sat gently on the chair, glanced in the direction of the palace, and began to tidy up her appearance. Listening to the continuous explosions and shouts of death outside, she finally realized that something was wrong.
——Talk about feelings with a soul master family is a hurtful thing.
She could sell her husband, who had been away from the border for seven or eight years, because of family interests, and her brother could also sell her because of family interests.
Just like she still married into the Duke's Palace even though she knew what kind of virtuous person Dai Hao was in terms of men and women.
The Dai family could step down from that position and continue to be dukes in name only, de facto contenders for the throne, or even forever. The Xu family cannot retreat. If they retreat, they will really be gone. The Xu family did not have the ability to ascend thousands of years ago.
Therefore, the Dai family must be weakened or even controlled. Even if it is not possible, the remaining dead people who are clamoring to return to the glory of the White Tiger must be cleaned up. Otherwise, the position under the Xu family's buttocks cannot be guaranteed.
There is no better time than now. As a top soul master family, the Dai family will not have a titled strong person in the past ten years; Dai Hao, who has escaped from death and has great reputation to check the Xu family, will soon lose his reputation; within the Dai family Due to various reasons, the Xu family has some power, and even has heirs with Xu family blood.
Really, a special, rare opportunity in thousands of years.
But after the matter is over, an explanation is always needed, and this explanation is her, Xu Jiali.
It's not that she should take the blame or anything. She can still be a duchess hundreds of years after her death, and the Xu family will not let this claim disappear.
The main reason is that as soon as she died, some words became speechless and some words could be spoken.
"My Xu family has also died, and the death is very important. What are you doing to the Dai family or some other mess?"
That's pretty much it.
"Madam..." The maid's panicked look brought the Duchess back to reality.
"What's wrong?" Real death was imminent, but the Duchess fell into a kind of calm. She had a certain amount of strength, but when everyone who relied on her most wanted her to die, she had no strength at all.
"I will escort you out." Seeing the calm expression on the Duchess's face, the maid barely regained her composure.
There were screams outside the study, and it was the Duchess's guards who were fighting.
"Escape, where can you escape?" The duchess opened a thick book and gave away the hardcover. Now she only had an ordinary book in her hand.
It's not "Shrek's Seven Monsters". There is no name on the book cover, only a star crown pattern.
"You should run away quickly. As my personal maid, Xingluo City will not make things difficult for you.
"Then send a message to my imperial brother. If you die, I can die. But if you really want to suppress the Dai family forever, my two sons can change their surnames."
There was light shining on her face outside the window, which was the light from the release of martial arts and soul skills.
"Madam, what are you talking about?" The maid rushed to her and hurriedly grabbed Xu Jiali's arm.
Not moving at all.
"Let's go, I've already taken poison.
"Huo Yun'er can survive for seven or eight years for his child. I probably won't be able to survive that long, but I still dare to die." Under the light, the maid discovered that the duchess was already bleeding from her mouth and nose.
Bright red blood.
