"Then can you tell me what exactly happened, Li Jiaqi?"
Su Biluo looked at Li Jiaqi and said calmly.
She no longer called Li Jiaqi Brother Jiaqi.
Because during the time he was gone, she felt that Brother Jiaqi was no longer the same Brother Jiaqi as before.
Li Jiaqi's eyes darted away. He was silent for a moment before slowly opening his mouth:
"Bìluò, there are many things you don't need to know. You only need to know that I'm truly doing this for your own good. You must believe me."
A few tears welled up in the corners of Su Biluo's eyes, and she said choked with emotion:
"How can you expect me to believe you? You brought two highly skilled martial artists to my home, forcibly took me away, just to lure Zhuge Lan out, and then what? Then you'll kill him?"
Li Jiaqi turned his head away, not daring to look directly at Su Biluo:
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
A few tears slid down Su Biluo's cheeks, and her voice trembled as she said:
"This is what you call being good to me?"
Li Jiaqi remained silent, his heart struggling.
Su Biluo's tears were like thorns, piercing his heart.
"Brother Jiaqi, we grew up together. How could you treat me like this? You know Zhuge Lan is the person I care about most. Why did you have to involve him?"
Su Biluo was sobbing uncontrollably.
Li Jiaqi gritted his teeth, turned his head, his eyes bloodshot:
"Because he is our enemy, Bìluò. His existence will bring you pain, and I cannot let you suffer any harm."
"Enemy? He's just an ordinary person. He has never harmed anyone. He even accompanied me to Dragon Mountain to find feiyan grass for my mother! How can he be an enemy! The enemy you speak of is my benefactor!"
Su Biluo retorted loudly.
"You're wrong! His identity is not simple. It's rumored in the World that Zhuge Lan is a heinous demon. You don't understand him at all."
Li Jiaqi said excitedly.
Su Biluo closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Li Jiaqi calmed down and said softly:
"How could I harm you? Everything I do is to keep you from harm."
Li Jiaqi tried to take Su Biluo's hand, but Su Biluo sharply pulled it away.
Su Biluo shook her head:
"I cannot accept your methods. You've changed, so much that I don't even recognize you anymore. The old you were so kind, so gentle, but now…"
Su Biluo's words were cut off by Li Jiaqi.
"Even now, I'm doing it for you, Bìluò. There are some things you don't understand. This World is far more complex than you imagine."
Li Jiaqi explained anxiously.
Su Biluo wiped her tears with her sleeve, her eyes filled with determination:
"Enough! I don't want to hear any more of this from you. No matter what happened, you shouldn't have used such methods. I no longer trust you."
Li Jiaqi's face turned pale, and he murmured:
"I know you won't believe anything I say now, but I'll prove it to you. Zhuge Lan is truly not what you see!"
Su Biluo was sandwiched between Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Li Jiaqi, walking through a dense forest.
Sunlight filtered through the layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows, but Su Biluo's mood was shrouded in gloom, her heart filled with worry about her own situation and concern for her mother.
Li Jiaqi, on the other hand, wore a troubled expression, his gaze constantly falling on Su Biluo.
Every time he saw her eyes filled with sorrow and resentment, his heart felt as if it had been sharply pricked by a needle.
As they continued their journey, a clear laugh suddenly came from ahead.
Following that, two figures gradually became clear.
Ning Fengzhi, in a green robe, had a refined and elegant demeanor.
Beside him, Ning Rongrong was playful and cute, skipping along.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's expressions instantly turned grim. They never expected to encounter people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School here.
Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted:
"Hmph, what a small World. We meet even here."
Ning Fengzhi also noticed the presence of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and his expression became serious:
"Rongrong, did you feel it?"
Ning Rongrong also put away her playful mood at this moment and responded softly:
"Hmm, I felt it. It seems to be those two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall… I didn't expect to meet them here."
"Be extremely careful!"
Ning Fengzhi said vigilantly.
As the two groups drew closer, Ning Fengzhi gradually saw the four figures in their party.
"Why so many people?"
Ning Fengzhi felt a hint of doubt in his heart.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo sensed Ning Fengzhi's gaze, and they immediately became alert.
Ghost Douluo subtly shifted his position, trying to block Ning Fengzhi's line of sight.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was the first to speak:
"Oh, isn't this the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Ning Fengzhi said indifferently:
"You two old geezers, why are there so many people today?"
Ghost Douluo said sinisterly: "Ning Fengzhi, why aren't you and your daughter staying put in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? What are you doing out here in this wilderness?"
Ning Rongrong pouted and said: "We can be wherever we want. Do you people from Spirit Hall have a say in it?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes:
"Little girl, sharp-tongued."
Then he looked at Ning Fengzhi and said fiercely:
"Ning Fengzhi, we don't want to conflict with your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly."
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly and replied freely:
"Leave? Why should we leave? Is this forest planted by your Spirit Hall? Why should we go? Rather, you people from Spirit Hall appearing here, are you plotting something unspeakable again?"
Ghost Douluo let out a strange laugh:
"Haha, Ning Fengzhi, don't meddle in our affairs, or don't blame us for being impolite."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Li Jiaqi and Su Biluo, who was deliberately obscured by Ghost Douluo.
Su Biluo's face showed very obvious panic and fear.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly:
"This girl seems a little familiar."
Then, he said in a resonant voice:
"What's going on here? Why is your Spirit Hall arresting a young girl?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo stepped forward and said:
"Ning Fengzhi, this is a matter for Spirit Hall, and it's none of your business. You'd best not meddle."
Ning Fengzhi was not deterred. His gaze remained on Su Biluo, and he said:
"Spirit Hall's affairs? But this little girl doesn't look like someone who has committed a major crime."
Ning Rongrong also snorted:
"What do you mean by meddling? It's wrong for Spirit Hall to arrest people at will."
Ghost Douluo said impatiently:
"Ning Fengzhi, this little girl is someone Spirit Hall wants. If you know what's good for you, take your daughter and leave quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
As Ghost Douluo spoke, he slowly adopted a fighting stance, and spirit power began to circulate around his body.
