Lu Yaoyao fell asleep in a melancholy mood. When she woke up early the next morning, Zhong Dong sat early in the lobby of the inn.
Lu Yaoyao and the others were leaving today, and Zhong Dong came to see them off specially.
Zhong Dong cherishes the time he spends with his friends very much. He is only a mortal person, and maybe he will only stay in Luotian City in his lifetime. If Lu Yaoyao doesn't come to Luotian City, they may not meet again.
They had breakfast together as farewell, Zhong Dong personally sent them on the flying horse carriage, and the pure white horses of the two flying horses drove on the streets in the early morning, all the way to the city gate.
Lu Yaoyao was reluctant to part, she looked up at Zhong Dong, who was sitting face to face, and invited, "Dongbao, you have time to come to Guiyuanzong to play with me in the future!"
Zhong Dong was very moved, but when he thought of his ugly and terrifying face, he lowered his eyes and said in despair, "No, I still won't cause you any trouble."
Zhong Dong is very self-aware of his appearance. Although he doesn't feel inferior, he can face other people's strange eyes calmly. Outside, it's not good to scare people.
Luo Tiancheng is the territory of the Zhong family, and no one else dares to say anything in front of him, not to mention, he is just a mortal, out of Luo Tiancheng's sphere of influence, he has to work hard for the protection of others.
"You're not trouble!" Lu Yaoyao shook her head and said seriously, "I'm looking forward to your visit to my house. I want to introduce you to my father and master, and tell them that I made a good friend!"
Zhong Dong was overjoyed when he heard this, and could not wait to nod his head in agreement, but he was worried, "I'll think about it."
Lu Yaoyao raised her hand and shook his hand, "I look forward to your arrival!"
Zhong Dong couldn't help showing a twisted smile.
Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how far the city gate is, there is a limit. Shuang Pegasus, who is not slow, quickly arrived at the city gate. They exchanged greetings for a while, and finally said goodbye to each other.
Zhong Dong once again watched the Pegasus carrying his friend away, feeling lost.
Lu Yaoyao suddenly leaned out of the car window, waved at Zhong Dong, and shouted, "Remember to write back to me, I'll wait for you!"
The feeling of loss disappeared immediately, Zhong Dong waved his hand and responded enthusiastically, "I will!"
"see you later!"
"goodbye!"
Zhong Dong kept waving his hand, his eyes were bright, and he watched the flying carriage go a certain distance, then flew into the air, and then disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Zhong Shishi, the bodyguard who had been following him, saw that his son had been looking at the sky, and couldn't help but said, "If the young master can cultivate, he will definitely be no worse than Miss Lu and the others."
Zhong Dong didn't speak, he lowered his eyes for a moment, and turned to the beast cart beside him.
Seeing that his young master was in a low mood, Zhong Shishi said, "I heard that the city lord found a strange medicine. Maybe the young master can shape the spiritual roots. When the young master can practice, he will be able to practice with Miss Lu."
"Young master, don't be discouraged. The cultivation world is so big that it is full of surprises. You will definitely be able to find something that can help the young master to cultivate, but the cultivation world cannot. There are also the demon world and the demon world. The city owner will definitely be able to think of a way..."
"The city master reached Yuan Ying at the age of 300. He is known as an inescapable talent. If the young master can cultivate spiritual roots, he will definitely be better than blue..."
Zhong Dong kept silent, his subordinate's voice kept ringing in his ears, he was thoughtful.
The animal cart stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Zhong Dong got out of the car and approached the City Lord's Mansion. Zhong Shishi quickly followed.
Zhong Dong walked for a while and suddenly stopped, "Shi Shi, how long have you been with me?"
Zhong Shishi wondered why the young master asked such a question, and said honestly: "When the young master was three years old, his subordinates followed the young master for twenty years."
"Twenty years..." Zhong Dong thought thoughtfully, "I've really wronged you to have your dignified monk in the middle of bigu follow me as a bodyguard, a worthless mortal."
Zhong Shishi's expression changed, and he knelt down heavily, "Master, but what did this subordinate do wrong? The subordinate has been living abroad since his parents died. The subordinates have some qualifications, and spare no effort to cultivate their subordinates. Such a heavy affection is unrewarding. The subordinates have reached the Yuan Ying cultivation base. The city master and the young master are also the loyal masters of the subordinates. Shattered subordinates?"
"It turns out that you have inherited such a favor from the Zhong Mansion." Zhong Dong sighed leisurely, "It's a pity—"
"Master?" Zhong Shishi was very flustered, not knowing what he did wrong, "Master, for the sake of serving you, I will give my subordinates another chance, and they will definitely change! Young master—"
"You're right." Zhong Dong looked at Zhong Shishi, who was begging for mercy on his knees. At this moment, he was in a state of embarrassment.
"Master—" Zhong Shishi was still at a loss, not understanding why the young master said that.
Zhong Dong didn't intend to give an answer, he raised his hand slightly, and two dark guards with deep cultivation and deep breath appeared on both sides of Zhong Shishi.
"Take it away."
The dark guard bowed slightly to Zhong Dong, and then escorted Zhong Shishi to the left and right to disappear quickly. As for his whereabouts, it was unknown to outsiders.
"My son!"
As the lord of a city, City Lord Zhong can quickly know everything in the mansion, not to mention Zhong Dong didn't want to hide it from him.
"Auntie." Zhong Dong called out and took the initiative to explain, "Zhong Shishi has always felt sorry for the child's inability to cultivate since he was sensible, and often said something. , but recently, it seems to be too impatient."
Since Zhong Shishi has followed Zhong Dong, he has been focusing on Zhong Dong in everything, not to mention his loyalty, otherwise City Lord Zhong would not be so relieved to let him take care of his only son. Every word he said, even just a moment ago, was heard in the ears of others, only that Zhong Shishi was too concerned about Zhong Dong, so he was worried about him.
Zhong Dong is intelligent since he was a child, and can always decipher other meanings from Zhong Shishi's unintentional words. It seems that in his eyes, his aunt is omnipotent, and she will definitely help him shape spiritual root cultivation, so that Zhong Dong, who has listened a lot, can do anything. He couldn't help but return hope. However, as the years passed, in fact, his aunt couldn't do it at all. Zhong Dong kept hope and disappointment...
This kind of gap is very human beings can bear. After all, cultivation or not cultivation is the difference between immortals and mortals. Ordinary people only have a hundred years of lifespan.
Whenever Zhong Dong complained in his heart, there would definitely be a crack in their mother-son relationship, and once Zhong Dong distorted his mind, he would do something for the sake of cultivation.
And sometimes Zhong Shishi will talk about things like the world of self-cultivation where he can't find a way and the world of monsters and monsters, inside and out, there may be ways for Zhong Dong to practice.
Some things cannot be thought deeply. Once thought deeply, the seeds of doubt will break out of the ground and continue to take root and sprout.
Zhong Dong was very calm. He was thinking about who was behind Zhong Shishi, who were the opponents of the Zhong family, and who would benefit if he had an accident... After pondering unsuccessfully, he looked at the information.
However, there is no useful information. From the moment Zhong Shishi arrived at the Zhong family, he has never done anything to betray the Zhong family, he has always been loyal, and since he came to him, he has done his duty even more.
The only thing that cannot be found is the experience before the age of ten, that is, before coming to Zhong's house, but Zhong Shishi was born in a mortal village and has been wandering outside since his parents died. He has few memories of his childhood, and the exact location of the village is unknown. What's more, after so many years, even the mortals who had an impression of Zhong Shishi have long since passed away.
His resume was clean, which made him wonder if he was thinking too much. Zhong Shishi said something straight and seemed to be out of his mind. Is he really thinking about him?
But ah, these days, the traces of language make it difficult for him to ignore. Maybe he didn't think too much when he trusted him very much, but now that he has some doubts himself, it's even more obvious.
City Lord Zhong learned the truth from Zhong Dong's succinct words, and she was both shocked and angry, "It's because A-Niang is too careless to let such a person with a calamity lurking around you." Then she was very fortunate, "Fortunately, my son has a heart for it. Linglong, I wasn't deceived by the villain, otherwise A-Niang is really…”
City Lord Zhong resisted the monstrous killing intent, and she hated her heart. Who is such a villain who wants to alienate their mother and son? Still want to let her relatives fall into the way of demons?
"Check! Be sure to check it out!"
"Mom, don't be angry." Zhong Dong said with relief, "Now that we have prepared, the people behind the scenes have no idea how to do it."
In fact, up to now, Zhong Dong has not found any clues that Zhong Shishi colluded with outsiders. His move was undoubtedly a shock to people, but with Lu Yaoyao, the only friend, he made up his mind, no matter whether there is evidence or not, To clear the uncertain factors around him, because he does not want people around him to have the possibility of hurting friends through him.
Zhong Dong will thoroughly check everyone around him, even if he can't find any abnormality, as long as there is a trace of his memory that makes him feel inappropriate, he will clear them all, and he would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.
If he has the strength, he may choose another method, but he is only a mortal and can only kill the threat in the cradle first.
"It seems that the entire Luotian City will be cleaned up thoroughly. My son, rest assured, A-Niang will protect you."
Zhong Dong couldn't help but smile: "I believe in A-Niang."
City Lord Zhong felt very distressed for Zhong Dong, she slowed down her voice and said, "You seem to like the little girl from the Zun Shang family very much. It just so happens that Auntie has something to send to the Guiyuan Sect. Why don't Dongbao help me run this trip?"
Zhong Dong's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"
Seeing his distorted face, City Master Zhong couldn't hide her excitement, and she felt that she was wrong in the past when she was worried about his accident and trapped him in Luotian City. She kindly said, "Of course, you have grown up, so it's time to go out. Go and see the outside world..."
"Thank you, Auntie! The boy will definitely live up to his mission!"
Lu Yaoyao and his party, who had already left, did not know what happened in Luotian City.
Yanzi looked back at Lu Yaoyao and became depressed again, and couldn't help but ask, "You and Zhong Dong have only met twice, how come you hit it off right away?"
Lu Yaoyao said with a small hand in her hands, "Could it be, Senior Brother, that you have never met a situation where you feel that this person is destined to be your confidant just by looking at him? As soon as I see him, I feel close."
Yanzi replied: "I have met."
Lu Yaoyao blinked, "Did you become good friends later?"
"No."
Several pairs of curious eyes looked over, "Why?"
Yanzi replied faintly and said, "The girl he likes fell in love with me, and then we fell out with each other."
Everyone: "...". :,.
