"Qi, Qiye!"
The bearded man's eyes suddenly lost their previous arrogance, and were filled with a bit of despair and deathly silence.
Si Xinghe tilted his head and glanced at him, "Hey, do you know me?"
"Master Qi, you have forgotten that I, the leader of the Wu Clan, Yue Hui, was inspired by you back then. I was still a follower of the leader of the Yue Hui clan, and I had the honor to meet you once."
Si Xinghe curled his lips and said, "Only boring people like you still remember this thing about sesame seeds and rotten millet."
Big Beard: "..."
Si Xinghe continued: "But since you know me, it saves me the trouble of talking. Let me introduce you to this person..."
Si Xinghe raised his hand and pointed his index finger at Bu Chensu.
"It's my son."
Not only the bearded man, but also other members of the Wu clan were confused.
"Master Qi, you, you are really good at joking. You are not married yet, how could...how could you have an extra son?"
There is absolutely no way this is true.
If it is true, then based on what they just did...
The bearded man no longer dared to think any further.
Si Xinghe smiled and raised his eyebrows, "I said he is, he is. Do you think I have the habit of recognizing my son everywhere? Or do you think any cat or dog is qualified to be my son?"
Turning his head, Si Xinghe looked at Bu Chensu, "What did you call me?"
Bu Chensu: "Dad."
"Yes, good son."
Si Xinghe nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and looked at the bearded man again.
"Did you hear that?"
The bearded man was trembling with fear, and a bone-crushing chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
He never dreamed that he would encounter such a piece of iron in this world of cultivation where mortals are everywhere.
"Master Qi, this is all a misunderstanding. We didn't know in advance that he was the son of your family. This is all a misunderstanding. We have also been ordered by the Ruan family to perform special tasks here. We must be careful in case something goes wrong. It’s hard to communicate. This young master just rushed in with his people. We thought it was an old enemy who had discovered our whereabouts and came to seek revenge. That was the misunderstanding just now. "
The bearded man kowtowed while explaining, and at the same time secretly winked at the others.
Others understood and kowtowed quickly to beg for mercy. Some even burst into tears and suffered a miserable meal.
"Master Qi, our Wu clan has lived in seclusion for many years, and has experienced great changes. Now our population is declining, and we have to seek refuge under others. We are also forced to have no choice."
"Yes, fortunately the Ruan family is willing to take us in and protect us, otherwise our witch clan would have disappeared in the six realms by now."
The smile on Si Xinghe's lips deepened, but his eyes turned cold.
"Haha." A sneer overflowed from his mouth, "One Ruan family at a time, what? Are you planning to use the Ruan family to suppress me?"
Si Xinghe's eyes fell on the bearded man again. He leaned down slightly and looked directly at the bearded man with his indifferent eyes.
"Do you think I would care about a little Ruan family?"
The bearded man shook his head in fear, "No, of course you won't."
Others only thought that this person was a Qi Ye who could sit with Heavenly Lord and Earthly Lord, but he knew that this person's identity was much more than that.
When he was a follower of the Yuehui clan leader, he saw with his own eyes that the Heavenly Lord and the Earthly Lord were respectful to the person in front of him. Even the nine-turn roulette wheel passed down from generation to generation in the Wu clan could not find out this person's past and present lives.
"Are you afraid of me?" Si Xinghe asked with a smile, with a hint of bad taste in his tone that was not hard to detect.
The bearded man nodded first, then shook his head, and then nodded again. He was so frightened that he didn't know how to react.
Si Xinghe stood up straight, but his eyes never moved away from the bearded man.
"It's okay to be afraid. Then I'll ask you a few questions. Will you answer them truthfully?"
"Master Qi, just ask, I will tell you everything I know." The bearded man expressed his position hurriedly, fearing that he would anger the person in front of him at this little time in the evening.
Si Xinghe nodded with satisfaction, "Very good."
"Let me ask you, where is Xiao Yanmo now?"
The bearded man was stunned, and even the other members of the Witch Clan looked astonished.
No one expected Si Xinghe to ask such a question, and to ask it so directly.
The bearded man tried hard to hide the panic in his eyes and try to calm down.
"Master Qi, do you know Patriarch Xiao?"
"I'm asking you, not you asking me. You just need to answer my question."
"Where is Xiao Yanmo?" Si Xinghe asked again.
The bearded man glanced at the tribe next to him from the corner of his eye, and then stammered in reply, "Patriarch Xiao violated the tribe's rules and secretly married a foreigner. He also lost the Xuanwu lamp, the most precious treasure of my Wu tribe. Several elders wanted to take advantage of it." She was very disappointed and decided to deal with it according to the clan rules, but Patriarch Xiao felt that he had failed his ancestors and committed suicide. "
This is a statement that the entire Wu tribe has long discussed. It has been said countless times over the years. It is so familiar that it is no longer familiar, and it has even been regarded as fact.
"You're talking nonsense!"
A loud shout suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, Si Niannian's figure suddenly appeared in front of the bearded man.
She picked up the bearded man from the ground and lifted him into the air effortlessly.
"You lied. My mother is still alive. You took her away. Tell me, where did you hide my mother?"
Si Xinghe sighed, and his whole body hung on Zhou Qian's body again.
"I knew I couldn't stop this girl."
Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Nian Nian's temperament is very similar to yours."
"That's right. It doesn't matter who raised him." Si Xinghe had a proud look on his face, not wanting to look at Si Niannian.
Suddenly, his eyes became a little lonely, and there was a hint of longing in his eyes.
"Tell me, does she look like the same person?"
Zhou Zhou endured the sourness in his heart and turned to look at the head resting on his shoulder, "Miss her again?"
Si Xinghe blinked his eyes, his longing faded away, and he shook his head.
"You may not believe it. When I woke up this time, I almost forgot what she looked like."
His tone contained a bit of regret and self-deprecation, but more of it sounded lonely.
"Of the ancient gods back then, I am the only one left now. It's strange. All of them have returned to chaos. I am still alive and well. I can't die even if I want to. I can only continue to live in these six realms. Experience the highest level of loneliness.”
It's not that he hasn't tried it before. He has tried every method of seeking death over the years.
But none of them were successful.
A flash of distress flashed through Zhou Zhou's eyes. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would even want to hold Si Xinghe's hand and hug him tightly.
Trying to control the desire in his heart, Zhou Zhou whispered: "You still have me."
Although the voice was deliberately lowered, the words were pronounced clearly and passed into Si Xinghe's ears perfectly.
Si Xinghe looked at him with a smile, especially when he glanced at Zhou Zhou's earlobes that were already blushing, the smile in his eyes became even stronger.
"Thanks to you and holding you these past few days, I finally had a good night's sleep. I really don't know how I survived those damn days before?"
