"There's no way out." I honestly replied.
"Useless..." The man's voice rose in pitch, only to be cut off abruptly, adding an even greater sense of unpredictability to his demeanor.
Liang Yu's brow furrowed, making her seem displeased. However, she did not speak and did not approach the man.
My expression did not change, but the person's inner evaluation had been greatly reduced.
I couldn't control my emotions and the first thing after escaping danger was to complain, question, and demand other tribe members.
At least, he hasn't completely lost his wits. He must have remembered just how formidable the young horse spirit was, as well as the weird old immortal.
"Not able to save on the first attempt, and going to save on the second, your graveyard land must have some high-level experts, right?" He opened his mouth again, saying in a low voice.
"Hey... You, I can't hold back anymore. Your brain must have been eaten by a snake. Do we look like we've written 'Coffin Land' on our faces?"
"And also, you don't know, how disgusting and stubborn that one person and one corpse can be?" Liang Yu's brows furrowed so much that they seemed almost vertical, displaying an extraordinary level of dissatisfaction.
The man's pupil slightly contracted, before immediately becoming alert and asking in a low voice, "And who are you?"
He sunk his hand down, resting it on his waist, with his fingers gently swaying as if he was ready to make a move at any moment.
"You don't need to be so wary, if I had ill intentions, I wouldn't have taken the risk to save you from there, nor would I have allowed you to wake up in such good health."
I exhaled a cloud of breath, speaking calmly and composedly.
His face relaxed a bit, then he said, "Then please tell me your name. Since you have the ability to take us three out of here, I believe you also have the ability to take the rest of them out. If you do it a few more times, I will give you enough compensation as Mr. Luo."
I fell silent for a moment.
In fact, I originally wanted to use the name Liu Ziyu to borrow, but then I thought about it and realized that if I did so, asking Luo Muxi would seem a bit strange and improper.
However, if I speak directly, I do not know the exact relationship between my father and the Luo family.
In that case, it would put me at too great a disadvantage.
"I did not originally intend to provoke that horse spirit, but I heard that a Luo family had come to Coffin Land, looking for objects of despoiling, which was somewhat related to a former acquaintance of mine. That's why I made a move."
What I replied was not what the other party had asked.
Before the other party had a chance to respond, I asked, "Please allow me to know your name."
By circling around, I subtly hinted at some information that made him ponder and think.
"An old friend? That's rather odd. In recent years, no one from our Luo family has..."
His voice suddenly stops.
I could clearly see his complexion had changed, and his eyes seemed to have become deeper, along with a heightened level of alertness.
In the next moment, he suddenly said, "Is the old friend you're referring to, could it be Luo Muxi?"
Upon hearing those three words, my heart leapt inside, causing a tremble in my fingertips.
However, having experienced too many things, I have learned to control my emotions very well.
Shaking my head, I replied, "No."
The man's face suddenly changed, appearing surprised.
"It seems I have mistaken someone else for the right person." Shaking my head, I glanced at Liang Yu and said, "Let's go."
"A..." Liang Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright."
We were about to leave the glass factory as a couple.
The man immediately crossed a step to the side, blocking me. He could barely see sweat forming on his forehead as he said, "Brother, wait a moment."
Frowning slightly, an expression of dissatisfaction appeared on my face.
"Gu Qing!" he immediately reported another name.
I still shook my head.
He is right, but I deliberately denied it.
That's because I want to see how he reacts to my parents.
But his behavior now is beyond my comprehension.
"Qin Wei Zi!"
The man suddenly widened his eyes, speaking in a low voice!
My eyelid twitched, and my gaze at him softened slightly, losing some of its coldness.
He had been observing my subtle expressions, and finally, it seemed as if he let out a breath of relief.
"Brother, you know him?" he asked.
"Yeah." I only then nodded.
"Haha, you see, what you don't know is, Mr. Qin is a close friend of a respected elder in our family. The despoiling objects... were once a secret of our Luo family. That elder left the family and had worked closely with Mr. Qin for many years, so that's why you think hearing about despoiling objects has something to do with an old friend."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of inviting me to come back, indicating that I should move closer.
"You haven't told us your name yet. You're so precious, and you're even tight-lipped about your name?" Liang Yu humphed.
Her impetuousness served as excellent assistance.
"I am Luo Kuannian. I was rude to you earlier. Please forgive me."
Luo Kuannian's attitude had undergone a one hundred and eighty-degree turn.
That's one detail you can tell from this.
At least to some extent, the Luo family holds Coffin Land and treats it with respect, which is why Luo Kuannian is so arrogant.
After realizing that I had no connection to Coffin Land and that my efforts to save them were due to other reasons, Luo Kuannian's behavior changed.
Because, I have no reason to go out of my way to save those people.
And they, in turn, need me.
I did not retreat; instead, I simply said, "There's no direct association between you and Mr. Qin. Your elder brother was just a friend of his. I've already saved you once, that's enough; please move aside."
"This... You don't know, my brother's relationship with Mr. Qin Wei Zi is very unusual. Saving you is equivalent to doing a great favor for my brother, and also equivalent to helping Mr. Qin." Luo Kuannian immediately replied.
"Your concept has changed too quickly. You're not Luo Muxi, and Luo Muxi isn't among you. Simply saying that he and Mr. Qin Wei Zi have a good relationship without any proof is meaningless."
"And besides, I suddenly remembered something. Luo Muxi, has not he died a long time ago? Eleven years ago, Jin Yang did indeed have a Luo family, quite prosperous. However, they were wiped out overnight." I spoke with an even cooler tone.
"This..." Luo Kuannian's face changed slightly.
I spoke coldly, "Deceiving me, you're actually hitting yourself with a stone. Since you may truly be related to Mr. Qin, I will not punish you. Move aside."
"B-brother... No, Master... Please wait..." That day's incident should not have been the death of a husband and wife! It was a disappearance!" Luo Kuannian's forehead was slightly beaded with sweat as he spoke, "The woman from the Luo family who died was an ordinary person, a stand-in. My brother Luo Muxi did not die. Gu Qing did not die either! They returned safely to the Luo family soon after. I am absolutely telling the truth!"
"Oh? Returned to the Luo family? Then why haven't they come back to Jin Yang over these years?"
"If what you said is true, I should have seen them with Mr. Qin, yet you're lying!" My words were firm and resolute.
But deep down, my heart was boiling over!
It's the first time I've ever received such a direct and decisive answer from an outsider!
No, he's not an outsider, but a Luo family member's response! My parents are still alive!
Even though I've speculated dozens or hundreds of times that my dad was missing, and my mom was also missing, having someone else corroborate that information makes a huge difference!
