"Ye Gege? Ye Gege?"
"Ye Gege..."
In a trance, a crisp sound came from my ears, which was sweet and sweet. But no matter how nice the sound is, you will feel bored if you listen to it too much - especially when you are sleeping.
I opened my eyes in annoyance, but my mind was still in a daze, so I cursed, "Why are you making so much noise? You're not letting anyone sleep anymore!"
After scolding me, I turned over, wrapped myself in quilt and continued to sleep, and the annoying voice stopped.
But I was woken up and couldn't sleep anymore.
Although my eyes were closed, my mind became clearer and clearer. The conversation with Ling Ying last night gradually came to mind. My body stiffened and cold sweat broke out on my back.
After hesitating for a while, I pretended not to know anything, and opened my eyes in a daze. The sky was getting brighter, and it was probably already the next morning.
"Yi Ling... It's you."
The person who woke me up just now was none other than Nalan Yiling. She was dressed in a blue dress and stood beside my bed pretty, but there was a strong look of anxiety on her face.
When she saw me waking up, she forced a smile and said, "Ye Gege, you're awake."
While putting on my clothes and shoes, I said, "Wake up, I didn't eat much at the banquet last night, and now I'm hungry. Yi Ling, let's go eat quickly."
Nalan Yiling's face froze, and the forced smile disappeared. He looked downcast and whispered, "Ye Gege, don't you know what happened last night?"
"Last night?"
I muttered something, shook my head and asked strangely, "What happened last night? I was busy all day yesterday, and I was so tired that I went to bed right after I came back."
Yi Ling's face was full of sorrow, his brows were furrowed, and he cried and said, "Ye Gege, it's Azure Lotus Core Flame, Azure Lotus Core Flame it, it..."
I looked around and saw that Azure Lotus Core Flame was gone in the room. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked:
"Azure Lotus Core Flame, the old man told me to keep it, but who took it away?"
I turned my head and looked at Nalan Yiling, frowned and said, "It can't be your grandfather, right? It's true, how can Exotic Flame be so easy to refine? Without adequate preparation, hastily refining Exotic Flame will only backfire..."
"Ye Gege!"
The girl interrupted me rudely, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Azure Lotus Core Flame--I was robbed last night."
My body was shaken, I stared at her, my breathing suddenly became disordered, and I exclaimed, "Little Yi Ling, don't scare me!"
"It's so safe here. Thousands of troops gathered together, including strong men like Yun Qianbei and the old man. Even Medusa was killed by us... Who can snatch Exotic Flame away?!"
"Moreover..."
I regained my composure, got up and walked around the house, looked around, and said suspiciously, "This Exotic Flame is for my keeping. If it was robbed, how could I not hear any sound?"
"Ye Gege, Azure Lotus Core Flame was really robbed..."
Nalan Yiling's eyes were red, he looked at me and said, "Last night, three Dou Huang expert came together, one stole Exotic Flame, one blocked Yun Qianbei, and the other blocked the old man and Chu Qianbei."
"They also poisoned the celebration banquet. Many people were stunned by the poison, and the army's assembly speed slowed down. Before it was fully assembled, they escaped from the city with Azure Lotus Core Flame."
There were tears in her eyes, and there was a hint of crying in her voice as she said, "Ye Gege, the reason why you didn't notice anything is because you were knocked unconscious by the Dou Emperor who stole Exotic Flame."
"Simply, those three Dou Emperor had no intention of killing them. Not only did they not kill Ye Gege, there were no casualties last night."
Three Dou Emperor? Escaped with Azure Lotus Core Flame? No one died?
My eyes widened, and the shock in my heart was indescribable. After taking a few deep breaths, I still couldn't suppress the excitement in my heart. I stepped forward, held Nalan Yiling's hand, and gritted my teeth and said:
"Quickly, take me to see the old man and the others!"
Nalan Yiling nodded, probably because my grip was too strong, she struggled to free my hand and then led the way.
I followed closely and looked all the way, and found that all the guards along the way were demoralized and dejected.
It seems that Azure Lotus Core Flame was really robbed?
I lowered my head, but a hint of joy flashed in my eyes.
Nowadays, the Stone Desert City army is gathered together, and the defense is very tight. There are two Dou Emperor and two Dou Wang guarding it. But when Ancient Clan takes Azure Lotus Core Flame from Stone Desert City, it is like picking something out of a bag!
Worthy of being one of Ancient Eight Clans, worthy of being Xun Er, really awesome!
The secret joy flashed by, and when I raised my head, my face was filled with sadness and self-blame.
We marched all the way to the Council Hall. As soon as I entered, I knelt down suddenly, kowtowed and choked with sobs. "Old man, Nalan Ye is here to receive the punishment!"
There are no outsiders in the hall, only three people: Nalan Jie, Nalan Tie and Nalan Dong.
Among them, Nalan Jie and Nalan Tie looked at Nalan Dong quietly.
And Nalan Dong is playing with some strange utensils and is identifying a Ying White Pills--Seventh-Rank Pill"Mystic Dew Detoxification Pill"!
Nalan Jie looked away and fell on me. I quickly lowered my head, my forehead came into contact with the cold floor, and I trembled all over.
"What's wrong with you little baby? Get out of here!"
I didn't dare to get up, raised my head and choked and said, "Old man, I heard everything from Yi Ling, Azure Lotus Core Flame was taken away - the old man gave Azure Lotus Core Flame to me for safekeeping, but it was robbed in my hands. I made a big mistake, please punish me."
Nalan Jie stared at me with his eyes wide open for a long time, then sighed dejectedly, waved his hands and said, "If you admit your mistake and accept the punishment, you won't end up wasted."
"... The one coming over is Dou Emperor. What use can you do with Dou Master? It's not your fault. Get up."
I still refused to get up and continued to kneel on the cold floor, saying with a hint of crying:
"Azure Lotus Core Flame was not easy to come by. I don't know how many people died before I got it from Medusa. But out of curiosity, my grandson begged the old man to hand over Azure Lotus Core Flame to his grandson for safekeeping..."
"If Azure Lotus Core Flame is kept by the old man or Yun Qianbei, even if Dou Emperor comes, he will not be snatched away!"
"My grandson is still at fault!"
Nalan Jie laughed angrily. He has never been a good-tempered person. He raised his hand and rubbed his head, looked me around, snorted angrily, and shouted:
"You little kid, are you still having fun with me? Since you insist on asking for a fight, I will grant it to you!"
My face froze, and I vaguely realized something was wrong. I seemed to have lost my temper again?
I hurriedly lowered my head to avoid everyone's eyes, not daring to let others see my expression, but I was already scolding him in my heart.
This script... is wrong!
Logically speaking, if I keep admitting my mistakes, shouldn't the old man be comforted? Shouldn't he step forward to pull me up and say kindly to me:
Ye Er dares to act bravely, he is really my Nalan Family's great man!
