"My father is not the son of the Luo family, this thing, must not be some big secret."
However, this is also a topic that people avoid mentioning deeply.
The attitude of the Black City Temple towards my father was equally intriguing, which is why the Luo family has treated my father and mother this way.
Only in recent times did the Black City Temple show a pressing desire for me and my father, which is why the Luo family changed their tune.
The Luo family is also pleased to obtain favors because of my father, and to gain more benefits through me, which has allowed their status to rise with the tide.
But even if I directly pull back that veil of shame, it would still make the members of the Luo family feel embarrassed, and it would still leave the elder patriarch of the Luo family with a loss of face.
"That's it, I have nothing more to say to you. I just needed a medium and convenience. You use me to get what you want, don't make me feel like a burden."
I speak again, and I still do not give the Luo family face.
This is also the result of consultation between me and Old Gong.
If I play too soft, it would instead cause the Luo family to take advantage of me, a firm attitude is needed, and combined with the Luo family definitely will investigate everything about me and my father, they will be cautious.
In this way, my investigation will be less, and the problem will be smaller.
"All right, you'll stay in this room. As you wish, I'll let you enter the Black City Temple tonight to be with your grandmother."
The elder patriarch of the Luo family's tone ultimately carries a hint of coldness, and the word "grandmother" is pressed even deeper!
At this time, Old Gong approached to the ear of Luo Zhicheng and whispered a few words.
Luo Zhicheng nodded slightly before saying, "Housemaster, having Chi Yang accompany the guards and selecting one or two more clan members, what do you think?"
"Hmm." The elder patriarch of the Luo family nodded.
He lifted his hand and made a gesture, and the people inside and outside the house gradually dispersed.
I only noticed then that there was someone whose gaze had been fixed on me the whole time, a wealthy old woman with a full head of white hair.
Her eyes contained a hint of unwillingness and complexity.
"Madam, go to rest," the elder patriarch of the Luo family made a gesture of invitation, appearing somewhat distant.
It's apparent that there is a rift between him and the old woman.
The old woman's gaze still lingered on my face for a long time before walking in another direction under the escort of two Luo family guards.
I am indifferent to this kind of emotion.
The front door of the room I had pointed to was now unguarded, so I walked in directly.
I did not look at Luo Chiyang, who was standing on the upper body, in order to avoid unnecessary suspicions and changes.
The house is clean and tidy, more than quiet.
It's almost dawn, and the night outside is even darker and more gloomy.
I walked to the bed and sat cross-legged, quickly entering a state of deep concentration.
It's impossible to sleep well in this place, and I must always be on guard.
Therefore, after a period of concentration, I would open my eyes to look around. The room was still quiet and undisturbed, but through the crack in the door and the shadows of the windows, I could see many Luo family members guarding outside.
They also fear that I may "regret" something.
In the middle of the day, someone delivered food.
I didn't eat; I only ate some dried meat and millet bread from my backpack and drank a little of the water I brought with me.
One must always be on guard against others, even if I don't fear poison, Tian Gongquan cannot solve the real Three Corpse Poison. Then why worry about the liquid soaked by Tian in this world? It may not necessarily solve all kinds of poisons, but it is just that I haven't encountered it yet.
So a whole day has passed, until night falls and the knock comes.
I go to open the door, and standing there is Luo Zhichong.
He has had quite a few dealings with me, looking at me deeply with a slight smile on his lips.
I looked up to the living room and saw the old woman again, who was still in her elegant attire, accompanied by "Luo Chiyang" and two middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, who were the backbone of the Luo family.
The elder patriarch of the Luo family stood by the threshold, and the atmosphere was much quieter than last night.
"Come." Luo Zhichong made a gesture of invitation.
I followed him.
"Housemaster, should we leave directly?" Luo Zhichong stopped at the threshold and asked.
The elder patriarch of the Luo family nodded, with a heavy breath.
He took the lead and stepped forward.
The old woman, "Luo Chiyang," and the two other middle-aged men followed. After I took a step forward, Luo Zhichong, seeing me move, followed at the end.
Only when we arrived outside the Luo family gate did we see an extremely grand and lively scene. A long red carpet covered the ground, extending to the edge of the water pond.
A large number of Luo family members stood on both sides. Some began to drum, some blew a trumpet, it was a lively and joyous atmosphere.
Clusters of bonfires were burning, as if they had swept away all the gloom and clouds from the faces of the Luo family members.
Except for a few people, that is, the old woman and the two behind her.
Luo Chiyang, who was riding on top of Old Gong, was smiling just like everyone else.
The elder patriarch of the Luo family walked to the old woman's side, helped to smooth out a strand of hair on her forehead, and whispered a few words.
The old woman had no expression on her face, and only walked forward.
The only one following him was Luo Chiyang, and the other two…
Luo Zhichong gestured for me to follow, saying, "Haha, let's go. Chiyang knows how to get to the foot of the Black City Temple. I believe, you also remember, to see Mu Ye, you should hope that your heart remains consistent and does not change at the last minute."
I was very indifferent and did not respond to him at all.
Soon, the five of us left the Luo family gate and walked to the edge of the water pond. The sound of drums and gongs had become very quiet.
The other two still seemed very downcast, with their heads low, and they walked silently forward.
The old woman did not speak a word, and her legs were actually not slow. She could keep up with the pace.
Luo Chiyang, who was on top of Old Gong, slowed down slightly, glanced at me with a slight nod, and showed a hint of his usual lewd expression.
I slightly closed my eyes, and my emotions truly calmed down, not as tightened up.
Old Gong's calculation is very accurate.
The Luo family looks pretty foolish in my eyes.
One should not act in haste. We need to stay further away from the Luo family.
There are still some problems that require Old Gong to solve.
For example, these two Luo family members accompanying us can be killed, but the old woman must be kept. She needs to cooperate with me, otherwise, all the planning between Old Gong and me will be a joke.
Of course, I have absolute trust in Old Gong, he must have a way.
Time passed slowly, under the night sky, the grassland was wide and vast. We walked for a long time, finally reaching the foot of the mountain. In front, we could already see the Black City Temple.
However, from the Black City Temple, we cannot be seen clearly from this angle.
At this time, Old Gong wanted to walk up and pat a shoulder of a Luo family member.
He is about to make his move!
But just at this moment, someone else moved first!
What's even more, it was the old woman!
She raised her hands, and in her palms were two sharp bone spikes.
With a sound of "pfft," the bone spikes pierced into the back of the necks of the two people in front!
This scene is too sudden and unexpected!
The two men couldn't even make a muffled grunt before they fell straight forward.
The old woman suddenly turned around and aimed a bone spike at Old Gong's neck!
There was more of an inexpressible hatred in her eyes!
Old Gong drew a sharp breath, and his hands suddenly shot up to grasp the old woman's arm.
The old woman's back was quietly lying a very small baby, it was deep blue all over, and opened its mouth to blow hard at Old Gong.
With a muffled groan, Old Gong was thrown out of Luo Chiyang's body.
Luo Chiyang fell heavily to the ground.
Old Gong's head suddenly fell on my shoulder. He bared his teeth and spoke in a hoarse, enraged voice: "Grandpa, restrain her! This old woman is treacherous!"
The old woman, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins, looked suspiciously at me and then at Old Gong.
"Not Pool Yang... you... you guys?" She spoke in a slightly trembling voice, with a trace of confusion on her face.
"You... want to infiltrate the Black City Temple!? Isn't that to go to your death?" She spoke again, and her words directly hit my intention.
Old Gong showed a flicker of suspicion as well.
My thoughts were instantly disorganized. Before I could even figure it out, the old woman spoke in a choked voice: "Muye had a good son, I don't know why you could deceive the temple people's eyes and ears, but you can't go any further. One death is enough, you shouldn't go to your death!"
