Chapter 18 The Mysterious Study
"Brother Du, although the day you and I have been together is still short, I know that you are a human being and will not do such things for no reason. There must be a reason for it. No matter what, I should go back and explain to the head of the family. He is wise and will definitely make a decision correctly." Han Daniu walked slowly closer, stared at Du Fan, and said word by word.
"Brother Hu, I didn't plan to leave, I just hope Ruoxi and Xiaohu will leave. I will go back with you and report everything to the head of the family." Du Fan took a deep breath and looked directly at the other party.
"The head of the family orders to take you three back." Hu Daniu stared at Du Fan with his eyes persistent eyes.
"Brother Hu, you are not the only one here, but you are the only one here. I believe that Brother Hu is also suing me for this move, and I have some doubts about what happened a few days ago, so I want to give me a chance to explain. Thank you here." Du Fan slowly spoke, clasped his fists and bowed.
"However, Brother Hu still doesn't know about this. I can only say that if Ruoxi is taken back by you, then she will face life and death." Du Fan continued to speak, and after he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Hu Daniu and he kept letting go, and the atmosphere became calm and weird.
Hu Daniu also looked at Du Fan, as if he was scrutinizing, and thoughtful. After a long time, his expression slowed down and he sighed silently: "Ruoxi is a child I have grown up since I was a child. She is smart, innocent and kind. I like her very much. She has been active since she was a child and prefers to play with knives. I even gave her a golden goose knife. How could I bear to see her end up in a tragic way? It's just Brother Du, I can't help you."
As soon as Hu Daniu finished speaking, sparse footsteps sounded behind him. In an instant, five or six figures appeared beside Hu Daniu.
"Senior Brother Hu, no one else's direction!" One of the ingenious young men wearing the costumes of Yao family disciples spoke.
"Take Du Fan down, the eldest lady ran away in that direction, and the others chased him!" Hu Daniu pointed out one direction and shouted in a deep voice.
"yes!"
First, a disciple captured Du Fan, and the others shot towards Hu Daniu.
When Du Fan saw Hu Daniu pointing his finger, he felt relieved. He glanced at Hu Daniu with gratitude and stopped making a sound.
...
Three days later, at dusk, on the edge of the southern edge of the jungle, a man and a woman jumped out of the forest, with a little tired look on her face, but she couldn't hide her excitement at this moment.
"Xiaohu, finally came out. Unexpectedly, the jungle was much bigger than we had imagined before. After we separated from Du Fan, we walked for four days before we came out of this ghost place."
These two people were Yao Ruoxi and Xiaohu who were separated from Du Fan three days ago. At this time, it was Yao Ruoxi who was speaking.
"Sister Ruoxi, Brother Du, he won't have anything to do." Xiaohu breathed heavily, and the excitement on his face disappeared, replaced by strong worries.
"It won't be a problem. He is very familiar with the jungle environment and will definitely leave his family behind. Let's go to Xinghuo Town, and when we get there, we will meet again!" Yao Ruoxi was also full of worry, but she did not reveal any of her face, and she was determined in her eyes, and she pulled Xiaohu forward.
...
In a dark secret room, it was originally pitch black with no fingers, but under the reflection of the two braziers, you could vaguely see the scene inside the house.
There was nothing else on the cold walls around it except an iron door, and even a window was not present. The display in the house was very simple, with only one cross wooden frame and two braziers. There were iron chains on the wooden frame, and a person was tightly tied inside the chain. The man was disheveled and had wounds on his body and face, and he could no longer see clearly.
In the brazier, the flames swayed, accompanied by the "pig-pulling" sound when burning, making the entire secret room flicker and dark, making it look gloomy and terrifying.
The iron door slowly opened and walked into a man. He was tall and tall, with bright eyes and majestic appearance. He was Yao Batian, the contemporary head of the Yao family.
"Du Fan, I treat you very well on weekdays, so why do I do this? I only give you one chance!" Yao Batian glanced at the wooden rack, snorted heavily, and was furious.
The person tied up on the wooden frame slowly raised his head, and through the chaos and wounds, he could vaguely see a bit of Du Fan's appearance.
"Honor, I won't say much about other nonsense, listen!"
Du Fan was weak and powerless, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that made Yao Batian stunned. However, after a flash of splendor in Yao Batian's eyes, he did not interrupt the other party.
"When I stayed in the Zishan Sect that day, a female disciple named Chu Qian appeared sneakily. I followed her to Wu Hao's residence..."
Du Fan told the story of what he had heard and seen when he was hiding outside the window that day, saying that Wu Hao and Chu Qian were about to marry Ruoxi to gain a captive and seek a breakthrough in Yuanyin, Wu Cangyuan planned to be the head of Zishan, and the collusion between the second master of the Yao family and Wu Cangyuan.
After saying that, Du Fan let out a sigh, lowered his head again and stopped talking, thinking that there was no regret in this life, but it was a pity that he would die like this, and there was no possibility of his soul returning to the earth.
Yao Batian was silent, without any thunder, roared loudly, or suspected Du Fan. After a gloomy face, his arm suddenly burst into pieces, and several lights shot out from his fingers. After the buzzing, he broke the iron chain on the wooden frame.
Without the fixation of the chains, Du Fan was exhausted and suddenly fell on the ground. However, at this moment, he suddenly looked up at Yao Batian, with his eyes full of surprise.
"It's hard for you, I'm very grateful for what you did." Yao Batian took a deep breath and said solemnly to Du Fan, his words sincerely.
"Do you believe what I said just now?" Du Fan was really surprised.
"Hmph, you really think I'm a confused person, and I can still distinguish between right and wrong! The logic you said is reasonable and there are no mistakes. At the same time, it also solved my doubts for many years. You might as well tell you that I have long been suspicious of the Wu family and my own arrangements." Yao Batian snorted heavily, glaring at his eyes.
"Take this pill and follow me."
A blue pill suddenly appeared in Du Fan's hand. After being stunned, he grabbed it without hesitation and threw it into his mouth. It melted immediately when the mouth was in. A warm current wandered inside the body, and the skin's trauma was almost healed.
Du Fan said comfortably, then he was excited, and got up and followed Yao Batian.
After a cup of tea, Du Fan followed Yao Batian to a study room.
Yao Batian walked to one of the bookshelf and turned one of the books a page. On a wall about a slight blur, a curtain of water turned out to form on a wall about a slightest.
Yao Batian walked over and reached into the water curtain. When he pulled it out, a small bag of objects wrapped in golden silk cloth the size of a palm suddenly appeared in his hand. With a swing of his hand, he threw the object to Du Fan.
Du Fan subconsciously took this thing and bought it very lightly, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Honor, are you?"
"You cannot open this thing, keep it properly. When you see Ruoxi hand it over to her in the future, you will say that this thing is a treasure passed down by the Yao family." Yao Batian waved his hand to stop Du Fan from asking questions, and gave such instructions without any explanation.
Yao Batian returned to the book just now and turned on the second page. On the floor not far away from Du Fan, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded, and a passage leading to the underground was separated soon.
"You leave here, the exit is the jungle you have been to before." Yao Batian spoke solemnly.
"Head of the family, although I don't know how deep the water in Tianxiang Country is, I also know that your situation is not good at this time. Why not leave with your confidants and live in seclusion and share family with your daughter in the future. Wouldn't it be better? Can't you bear to be able to bear your current status?" Du Fan mustered up the courage and said something that made Yao Batian's eyes shine.
"You... are very good! However, the matter is not as simple as you think. I still have unfinished things to deal with. I was negligent and was plotted against once. Now I want to harm me again, I am afraid it will not be that easy. It is time to clean up the portal. Even if there is Zishan Sect participating, I will fight with them!" After staring at Du Fan for a while, Yao Batian showed appreciation, and looked down on his face.
"Since the head of the family has some considerations, I don't need to say much. I hope you will take care of it." Du Fan clasped his fists and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Du Fan, you must take good care of Ruoxi. If she agrees, you can marry her. I will entrust Ruoxi to you." Yao Batian's eyes flashed with a flash, and suddenly, he said this.
"Master of the family, I just think she is my sister. I have never thought about what you said, and I will never think about it in the future, but I will do my best to take care of her." Du Fan was stunned by hearing this, then smiled bitterly, shook his head, and turned around and walked into the passage leading to the underground.
Looking at Du Fan's disappearing back, Yao Batian's eyes showed a hint of relief. There seemed to be something on one of his hands huddled in his cuffs. A cold light flashed and disappeared.
If Du Fan had a little covetousness at that time, he might have died here now.
