Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 16 Are We Really from the Same Root?
The next moment, Huai Ren's gaze grew deep. After a long while, he looked at Mo Yi's face, which seemed to be seriously at odds with his inner cunning, and suddenly asked for no apparent reason, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, do you really understand your situation?" Mo Yi's expression was half-smile, as if to say, in fact, you have no other choice.
"Haha, it sounds like you understand better than me?" When Huai Lian said this, a self-deprecating expression suddenly appeared on his face. He suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance at the clouds above the main peak. His eyes were narrowed and hidden, but he seemed to be looking down on everything. He stood there with a sword, standing still, and had the spirit of a gentleman as tall as a mountain.
"Onlookers see things more clearly. You, Huai Lian, are a rare genius, but Wuji Immortal Palace is not necessarily the best place for you. Some people cannot tolerate you." Mo Yi was a man who valued words, but at this moment, he said so many words that left Gong Lili and others completely confused.
At this time, Mo Yi walked directly to the bodies of Huai Lian's two junior brothers who had died in the initial attack. With a wave of his knife, the heads of the two were immediately separated from the bodies. Ying Lili covered her mouth and tried hard to suppress the churning of stomach acid, but she couldn't help but take a few more glances. In her mind, although Mo Yi was a little cold-blooded, he was definitely not a cruel and heartless person. He would definitely not feel sorry for two corpses for no reason.
This was a very serious sight. Ying Lili's eyes almost popped out. After the two heads were separated from the body, a wisp of black smoke rose. When the black smoke dissipated, it was discovered that the two headless corpses had suddenly changed. They were human figures just now, but in the blink of an eye they had turned into two headless macaques.
"What is this?" Ping Lili had just begun to ask, but before she could finish all the questions in her mind, Qingluan had already walked over, took a calm look, and said with certainty, "This is Guan Guan!"
Ping Lili subconsciously turned back to look at Qingluan, who sympathetically explained to her, "This is an ancient beast that can transform into a human and is extremely difficult to discover."
"Were these two people transformed from Guan Guan from the beginning?" Suddenly, Ying Lili understood why Huai Lian had remained so calm when his two junior brothers were in danger. Had he already discovered this? But what was the meaning of that earlier conversation? Was he deliberately telling someone?
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of them were not dead before. This Guan Guan was just a trick they used as substitutes after we sneaked into the underground. Their real bodies are probably hiding somewhere now, waiting for Huai Lian to collect their bodies." Qingluan, who was always calm and rarely spoke with personal emotions, snorted coldly. Gong Lili suddenly seemed to understand something.
Could it be true, as Mo Yi said, that the people of Wuji Immortal Palace were fighting among themselves? Were those two Huai Lian junior brothers plotting against him?
Thinking about the results of his divination, Gong Lili was almost certain of this speculation. No wonder it was really as Mo Yi said, a genius in his own right, yet not tolerated by his fellow disciples? They were actually plotting to kill him?
But, what exactly is Huai Lian? Why is he being plotted against so intently by his fellow disciples, intent on getting rid of him as soon as possible?
At this time, Huai Lian was still gazing at the core of the 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation' without saying a word. His reserved gaze made it impossible to guess what he was thinking. However, looking at the indifferent expression on his face, it seemed that he had known for a long time that the two junior brothers were plotting against him.
This person is really hard to figure out.
"You, why did you help me before?" Huai Lian looked into the distance, with his back to the crowd, and suddenly asked this question for no reason. Everyone was stunned, as it seemed like he was asking Mo Yi.
Everyone looked at Mo Yi. In fact, not to mention Huai Lian, even Gong Lili and others were very curious about why Mo Yi had taken action before. Mo Yi had never been a chivalrous person.
"I'm not helping you. I'm just doing Zhuo Ao a favor. My intuition tells me that you're related to Zhuo Ao." Mo Yi's sudden words almost made Gong Lili stumble. What day is today? Why does he keep hearing such shocking news? Zhuo Ao? Why did Mo Yi suddenly mention Zhuo Ao? Could it be that Huai Lian is having an affair with Zhuo Ao?
Sure enough, when he heard Zhuo Ao's name, Huai Lian suddenly turned around. If Gong Lili was not mistaken, a faint ice-blue light suddenly appeared in Huai Lian's eyes, but it was fleeting, making Gong Lili almost think that he had seen it wrong. However, it was a fact that Huai Lian had a strong reaction to the name Zhuo Ao.
"Do you know Zhuo Ao?" In the blink of an eye, Huai Lian had come in front of Mo Yi. Only then did Gong Lili notice that although Huai Lian and Mo Yi were dressed differently and were of different ages, the aura they exuded was extremely similar. No, maybe Mo Yi was more arrogant, while Huai Lian, as his name suggests, was more reserved. But for some reason, when these two people stood together, they were as harmonious as twins. Gong Lili suddenly felt a sense of melodrama in her heart for no reason. Could these two be brothers who had been separated for many years?
Thinking of these two people's attitude towards Zhuo Ao, Pinglili's thoughts couldn't help but run wild. Could it be that these two people were Zhuo Ao's illegitimate children?
Thinking of this, he actually made himself laugh, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Oh my god, it's not that ridiculous, is it? The way these two people frowned together was exactly the same.
He didn't seem to tell any joke just now, did he?
This call actually brought Qinglili back to her senses. Qinglili quickly put away her wild thoughts and calmly returned to Mo Yi's side: "Sorry, I suddenly thought of something very nonsensical."
"Hmm?" Mo Yi's voice was very soft, and he lowered his head, but his inquiring eyes still did not leave her, and Huai Lian also looked willing to hear the details at this time, which made Ying Lili feel quite uncomfortable. She coughed lightly to cover up her gaffe, and wanted to get away with it, but the two men did not seem to intend to let her go easily, and the two glances fell on her face tacitly again. Ying Lili's scalp hardened, and she thought, I must have thought too much, this is totally unreliable, Mo Yi is a real Nayu person, and it is absolutely impossible for him to have any blood relationship with Zhuo Ao, and she had also met Mo Wutan before, and that old man was definitely Mo Yi's biological father.
Moreover, if you look closely, the facial features of the two are actually quite different. Mo Yi looks more like Mo Wutan. Although he has a handsome face, he has a bit of domineering air. Huai Ren's facial features look more delicate and softer.
These two people must be just a coincidence in their resemblance.
Thinking of this, Ping Lili felt somewhat relieved, and simply laughed and said her previous wild speculation as if it were a joke: "I just think that you two sometimes look like a pair of twins. Look, the way you both frown is exactly the same."
As he spoke, he pointed a finger first at Mo Yi and then at Huai Lian.
Unexpectedly, the moment these words came out, the expressions of Mo Yi and Huai Lian both darkened in an instant. At this moment, Wei Xingying, the guy who was always looking for trouble in the world, seemed to have caught Mo Yi's little pigtail. He looked them up and down, and then sneered with gloating pleasure: "You know what, it really does look like that. Look at the nose and eyebrows. If you two are not brothers, I will take your surname Mo Yi. Hahahaha, I say, you two are not Zhuo Ao's illegitimate children, are you? Hahahaha."
Before he could finish his words, Qingluan sealed his mute point and dragged him aside. Fortunately, Pingping and Zeze's attention were all on Zeze's twin brothers and sisters who had been rescued before. They were busy saving people and did not come to stir up trouble, otherwise who knows what kind of farce would have happened.
At this moment, Gong Lili's face was also a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that she was not the only one who misunderstood. Even Wei Xingying felt the same way. Could it be that she had accidentally hit the target? Looking at Mo Yi and Huai Lian's faces again, Gong Lili quickly lowered her head, thinking, Mo Yi's gaze alone was murderous enough, and this murderous gaze was doubled. Is there any hope for life?
Just when Ying Lili was hesitating, Mo Yi suddenly leaned over and grabbed her chin. His scorching eyes didn't allow her to escape. He stared at . Then Mo Yi slowly extended a finger, pointed at Huai Lian, and asked coldly: "Lili, do you think he and I are brothers?"
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Ying Lili felt a chill run down her spine. As far as she could remember, Mo Yi had never questioned her in such a serious tone. Oh my god, how should she answer this? Should she tell the truth or lie to him?
But, facing Mo Yi's eyes, could she say something against her will? She, Jing Lili, could lie to everyone in the world with a clear conscience, but the person in front of her was someone she never wanted to lie to again.
Yinglili swallowed hard and nodded with a rather forced expression. At that moment, she felt Mo Yi's hand, which had been pinching her chin, suddenly tremble. Her expression, as if she had seen a ghost, was not one of disbelief, but rather, how should she describe it? Excitement? Or perhaps surprise?
In short, Ying Lili could feel that both Mo Yi and Huai Lian seemed to be getting nervous at this moment.
I didn't expect that my unintentional words would have such destructive power. At this moment, Ping Lili was thinking with tears in her eyes, are these two really brothers?
