Fanning was surprised for his own reasons. The man in front of him looked... familiar to him.
I didn't expect... it was this person.
Why could Fanning recognize the other person so quickly... After all, everyone has read the comics, and the person in the comics left a deep impression on him. Everyone who read the comics knew about the conversation between this person and Yuan, and he was no exception.
But in the comics, Fanning's reaction is different. After all, the protagonist can't read comics in comics, right
So in the comics, when Fanning saw the head of the Li family, the thought in his mind was replaced by "Why does this person look so similar to Siqun?"
That's fine.
But Yuan Yuanyuan didn’t know that this had been changed. She cried out in pain and thought, “Oh shit, this is bad.”
Li Siqun... He has never been associated with the head of the Li family, because in the comics, Li Siqun does not look like he does in real life. If you look closely, their facial features are very similar, but their styles of drawing are different, one is more icy, and the other is more of a gentleman.
Now that such words appeared in Fanning's mind, Yuan Yuanyuan knew that Si Qun's identity could no longer be concealed.
Does this count as being covered in "beep--"? Yuan Yuanyuan shook her head, thinking about the four groups downstairs just now, and suddenly felt that he was also quite pitiful.
Faning and Yuan Yingli came from the side, and they dressed up as two strangers to visit the head of the Li family.
At this time, the faces of the two people were no longer the same as before, but the faces of two businessmen. These two businessmen had long-term business dealings with the Li family. They had been dealt with by Fanning and the others on the way here, so naturally they were not discovered.
The house is decorated very elegantly, with a bouquet of flowers in a vase. There are flowers everywhere in the house, and even in the decoration of the house, flowers are used as elements.
The head of the Li family, who was sitting over there, was wearing a white single garment and gently brewed a pot of flower tea. Faning didn't know what kind of tea it was, and there were flowers floating in the tea in front of them.
This person... Yuan Yuanyuan frowned slightly.
When she met him that year, he was still an old man with wrinkles all over his face, but now... does he look like a young man
Suddenly, Yuan Yuanyuan remembered the Journey to the West she had read when she was a child. In it, there was a king who used children's hearts and livers as medicine to cure diseases... She also suddenly remembered the Li family's head who was looking for humans everywhere, and she vaguely thought that the two had something in common...
In fact, Yuan Yuanyuan had felt a long time ago that the age of the head of the Li family was a little beyond her expectation, because Li Siqun, who was of the same generation as him, still looked like a college student this year, and no one seemed to find it strange that Yuan, who was resurrected from Hongshajing, had the face of a young man in his twenties.
There are few powerful old monsters, not because they have reached the end of their lifespan... but because all the old monsters without any strength died in that era. Those who are slightly more ordinary and will not be involved in the war back then will not have such a long lifespan.
But looking at Li Siqun, the head of the Li family is not that kind of untalented monster... But as soon as they met, he had the feeling of an old tree bark... Could it be retribution? Yuan Yuanyuan thought with some malice in her heart, she didn't have any good feelings for the other party.
And Yuan Yingli... The "relative" he mentioned actually refers to the Yuan family member who later married into the Li family, right? Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly remembered this.
The last time the two met, the head of the Li family said that his wife was not in good health. How is the woman from the Yuan family doing now
Faning explained the "transaction" to the other party. Before coming, he had used Taoist techniques to check the brains of the two monsters, and everything was memorized in his mind.
Yuan Yingli next to him naturally knew the merchant's mission this time. Sometimes he would fill in the gaps that Faning couldn't take care of. The two of them seemed very normal, but in fact they had already observed everything.
"Okay, let's send you two out." The head of the Li family who was sitting there said, and two people came and prepared to send them out. Faning and Yuan Yingli stood up obediently and prepared to go out. Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Aren't you going to see my mother?"
Huh? That voice? Fanning's eyes widened and he turned to look at the person who spoke.
A girl in white clothes stood there with a cold expression, looking at the head of the Li family.
… Why is she here
Fanning looked at the girl walking away with a strange look on his face, and the person next to him asked, "What is the matter, sir?"
“No, no, no…” Fanning quickly shook his head.
After he and Yuan Yingli came out, he kept looking back. Yuan Yingli asked, "What happened?"
"How could... we run into this person?" Fanning had a strange expression on his face. He turned to look at Yuan Yingli and the monster who was leading the way. The two men looked at each other. Yuan Yingli stepped forward to deal with the two monsters, and the two men secretly turned back.
Faning used illusion to sneak in. Yuan Yingli did not come with him. The old monsters all have extraordinary abilities. Last time, he met an old monster who was particularly familiar with the Blood Jade Monster Army. Faning still used this illusion and almost failed.
So this time he improved his illusion again. Although he didn't know how effective it would be against the big monster, he had to give it a try. Faning was really impatient to go back.
Fanning went back to the room he had just been to. He originally wanted to look for the girl, but in the blink of an eye, the girl disappeared.
This made Faning feel a little melancholy. He vaguely guessed the identity of the girl in white. The last time they parted, Faning suddenly disappeared and didn't talk to anyone. Naturally, he didn't explain anything to the girl in white.
Fanning was about to turn around and leave to find someone, but suddenly he heard something unexpected.
The voice came from this room, and the person who spoke was the head of the Li family who had just talked to them.
“… You really didn’t find it?”
… Fanning came back secretly, his ears erect, and he looked gossipy. This topic sounded interesting… He wondered if he could talk about something explosive.
The person in the room who was not the head of the Li family said something.
"I think Yuan... is really dead. After all, we have been looking for him for such a long time..."
Fanning's pupils shrank suddenly.
…
The funeral march began to play beside Yuan Yuanyuan's ears again... A light snowflake fell from the sky.
Ah... why so sad
Speaking of Fanning's exquisite pupil contraction... the painting gives a sense of déjà vu.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the girl in white. Her current identity was revealed... How come it was like a werewolf? But after the other party was revealed... Will she have a good life? The head of the Li family is not such an easy person to talk to, and he doesn't look like a good father.
Of course, Yuan Yuanyuan was just thinking casually. What happened to the father and daughter had nothing to do with her... With her status, she should naturally stand on the opposite side of the Li father and daughter.
Fanning in the comic almost stopped breathing. He didn't expect that he would hear such a thing when he sneaked over. He sneaked over again and his breathing became much lighter.
"That thing...how much is left?" asked the Patriarch of the Li family, followed by the sound of bottles and jars.
"Forget it, just put away the remaining ones. If you want to find them again, they will be gone." After a while, the head of the Li family sighed.
What are you looking for? Yuan Yuanyuan also became serious. Is it Siqun’s hair
She wanted to continue reading, but the head of the Li family in the comic didn't even continue.
"We've placed them wherever Yuan might be," the voice in the room said, "but he hasn't come out yet."
"Since he didn't come out... does that mean he is really dead?" the Li family patriarch murmured.
"He must be dead." The monster said with certainty, "Even this thing couldn't force him out... So he must be dead. He definitely couldn't stand this thing."
Oh shit... Yuan Yuanyuan in the beginning of the comic seemed to have somehow gotten some enlightenment, she said why the other party kept tapping on Siqun's hair in various places... It turns out that he wanted to force himself to come out!
So... her initial guess was correct. Yuan was indeed poisoned by a Gu, and this Gu might have been the thing that caused Yuan to capsize in the end.
Yuan Yuanyuan glanced at the unhealed wound on the back of her hand and thought, she didn't know when this Gu that had infected her had such great lethality. She didn't know what Yuan himself would be like... maybe he would really be forced out by this Gu.
However, it was also because she and Siqun became workmates that she was unknowingly infected with the poison, and by accident she ended up with the same effect as Yuan himself.
It was a blessing in disguise... For now, she could still endure it and would not be forced out for the time being. Seeing how confident the Li family patriarch was, the real Yuan would most likely not be able to withstand this Gu.
…
"This thing will slowly dissolve from his body." The Li family patriarch said, "I've seen that happen before... red spots will appear on the skin little by little, and eventually the places where the red spots appear will become ulcerated."
"Do you know what those red spots are?" The Li family head laughed, "It's the blood oozing out from under the skin... This thing can dissolve his internal organs."
… What a huge hatred this is. Gao Ling got goose bumps all over her body when she saw this description. She knew in her heart that Yuan was really not dead… Although she didn’t know why the other party didn’t do what the head of the Li family expected, he was not dead anyway.
She scratched the back of her hand, and suddenly some red dots flashed through her mind.
The scar on the back of the boss's hand this morning... is that what it looked like
Gao Ling uttered "Eh" again. She didn't know how many times she had made such a sound since she met the boss.
All these "coincidences" added together... always gave her a strange feeling.
No way…
Gao Ling scratched the back of his hand as he thought, Na Yuan really exceeded the expectations of the Li family's patriarch and managed to survive it.
