Above the stars

Hearing the horrific screams coming from next door, the old man looked at Tang Bandit and said, "You are not a human being."

"Are you alive? Who hasn't had a little bit of help?" Tang Bandit looked at the old man seriously and said with a mocking tone: "He takes people's money and eliminates disasters for them, but he lives a comfortable and happy life. What about me? I just live. Should he be killed?"

"When he intercepted me in the snow and killed me, he should have imagined such a result. He was only allowed to kill, but no one was allowed to kill him? Why?"

"His son is pitiful, and he was the one who harmed him. Besides, his son is his, what does it have to do with me?"

"You can obviously stab him to death, why do you waste my life-saving talisman? Drawing talismans is very troublesome."

The old man looked at Tang Bandit suspiciously and asked, "You don't want to kill him, but you want him to live?"

He knew Tang Bandit very well, just as Tang Bandit knew him as well.

Therefore, with a little information, he could guess the Tang bandit's true intention.

"Of course." Tang Bandit nodded and said loudly: "He is more valuable alive than dead. A dead person is just a pile of carrion, but a living person can bring us benefits in many ways."

"It can be packaged and sold whole, or cut into pieces for retail. Depending on the customer's needs, we will cut whichever piece the customer orders, just like Teochew beef."

"However, the premise is to completely disintegrate his fighting spirit and turn him into a useless person. He must also avenge his sword on me. After all, if Phoenix hadn't arrived in time, I would have been killed by him. He suffered a little bit, and I can’t swallow this breath.”

The old man burst out laughing and looked at Tang Bandit with a look of relief, and said, "I was worried that after you arrived at Xinxing, you would be sapped of your fighting spirit by the beauty trap of Wenwen Village and change your character. Now it seems that you are still you. You Nothing has changed.”

"I have changed." Tang Bandi said.

"What has changed?"

"I've become taller, stronger, and more beautiful. Don't you notice at all?"

The old man looked at Tang Bandit, nodded, and said, "Yes, although there is no shortage of food and clothing in the old land, the environment is too harsh after all. You are indeed taller, stronger, and better-looking than before."

After a pause, he added: "At least, it's cleaner than before, and my face is a lot whiter."

Tang Bandit shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just joking to lighten the mood. Are you serious?"

"I'm telling the truth." The old man said aloud: "I was a little hesitant before, not knowing whether coming back this time would be a good thing or a bad thing for you. Now I can confirm that this is a good thing."

"You are suitable for new stars, and you are suitable for living among the crowd. Because, here is everything you want. There is nothing on the old soil, only the suffering day after day."

"It's not too hard." Tang Bandi looked at the old man and said comfortingly: "We have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, and we can help our neighbors from time to time. You taught us a lot, so our life is not too bad."

"There is just no hope, no hope in sight. I don't know when such a life will begin. I am worried that I will have to live such a life for the rest of my life, when I will be too old to walk, get out of bed, and even wield a dog-leg knife. , you still have to worry about whether there will be a bite to eat tomorrow, and whether your head will be chopped off by a predator."

"So, you are suitable here, and there is everything you want here." The old man said firmly. "It's yours, you have to try every means to get it back. What they owe you must be paid back with interest."

Tang Bandit looked at the old man and asked with a smile: "Isn't Ling Yunxiao yours?"

The old man stared at Tang Bandit with an unkind expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't be angry, let's have a casual chat." Tang Bandit calmed the old man's mood and said, "I was just wondering if there is such a possibility. You are worried that my hatred of the royal family is not deep enough to hurt them. The killer didn't have the determination to risk his life for revenge, so he resorted to such a painful scheme?"

"Don't deny it in a hurry. I know that with your temperament, you will definitely be able to do such a thing."

The old man stared at Bandit Tang for a long time, then grinned and said, "To be honest, because of that little bitch, I did think about arranging such a big show."

"If the illusion in your heart is not broken, and if you don't hate them to the core, you will always have illusions about them, and you will always be hesitant like this."

"I didn't expect Chen Fenglei to take action first. They were eager to get rid of you. It's okay, so I saved a lot of trouble. After all, a lie requires countless lies to cover up, and you know me so well, so you can show me a little bit. You can guess the truth from just the slightest clue."

After a pause, he looked at Tang Bandit and said, "Besides, I can't let anyone kill you or hurt you to that extent."

"That's a reasonable explanation." Tang Bandit nodded, unscrewed the mineral water bottle on the table, took a sip, and asked, "Does Zhong Daolong know my identity?"

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "It should not be so. If he knows your identity, the one who entertains you will not be Ling Yunxiao, but other more powerful masters, maybe even a grandmaster-level figure."

Tang Bandit looked at the old man with wide eyes and said, "Do you think so highly of a poor boy like me?"

"It has nothing to do with you." The old man hit the nail on the head and said: "The person he most taboos in his life is your father. If he knew that you were his flesh and blood, he would find ways to get rid of you no matter what the price."

"."

"Your father has been dead for so many years, and his direct lineage has been purged by them round after round. But until now, as long as there is any information related to your father, it will be completely erased immediately. Kill them all." , they did it to the extreme.”

Tang Bandit looked at the old man and asked: "Since they don't know my true identity, why do they send people to kill me? Just because I have a closer relationship with their princess?"

"Do you call that a close relationship? You don't know how many times you have changed the sheets, right?"

The old man looked full of contempt and said: "If I were Zhong Daolong, I would have castrated you hundreds of times. Why should the little princess of the Phoenix Empire take advantage of you, a poor boy from the old country?"

"Do you have to do it to this extent?"

The old man looked at Tang Bandit, sighed softly and said: "What level is this? For us, it is a big matter between life and death, but for them, isn't it just a trivial matter? Didn't Ling Yunxiao just say that? ? They thought it was a surefire sniper attack."

"You are a small person in the Nether Realm, and for someone to send a top figure like Jihanjian, you are considered to be very important to you."

"Why don't they do something that can be done once and for all? Are they still going to let you continue to develop like this, and wait until the relationship becomes deeper or the love knot becomes dark before taking action?"

"Besides, just killing a poor boy, what does it mean to the royal family? When the emperor is angry, he lays his corpse on the ground and millions of people die every day for his one idea. It doesn't matter how many more you are and one is less than you. What?"

"."

These are very unpleasant words.

But Tang Bandit knew that the old man was telling the truth.

He is Phoenix's savior, which may mean a lot to Phoenix.

But what does it mean to the imperial family or Zhong Daolong personally? There are countless people who die for them every day. What does it matter if there is one more person and one less person?

If after rescuing Phoenix, he could accept their gifts safely and become a common citizen who doesn't argue with things, they might also be willing to promise themselves a peaceful life.

However, he still has a close relationship with the royal princess.

In all conscience, he and Fenghuang had never slept together.

But, will Zhong Daolong believe it?

Even the old man who had been with him day and night for so many years didn't believe that he could stay calm. Would Zhong Daolong think that he and his daughter were innocent?

absurd!

Once suspicion arises, a crime is established.

Zhong Daolong cut off all possibilities in the future in order to follow his own will, or to say that he no longer wanted to be suspicious.

If you say hello to Chen Fenglei or even make a hint with your eyes, wouldn't this matter be solved?

What they miss is that they are more powerful than they think.

Luck is also better.

If Fenghuang hadn't driven back to pick him up, he would still have died.

Tang Bandit looked at the old man and asked, "What do you have in mind next?"

The old man looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "I want to understand your thoughts first. If you still have illusions, or think things are not as bad as you think, I can pretend that nothing has happened."

Tang Bandit shook his head and said, "I don't want to die."

Then he said: "If I die, Xiaopang won't be able to survive. Many innocent people may be affected."

"Don't talk about yourself being so great. You just don't want to die. This reason is enough." The old man knew the Tang bandit's temperament very well, and said, "If you want to live, and even want to live with dignity, then You have to resist more fiercely."

"What should I do?" Tang Bandit asked.

He also felt that he should do something.

A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.

He can be ridden, but he doesn't want to be bullied.

"Let the royal family be in chaos." The old man said: "If they are all harmonious, they will focus more attention on you. You don't need this kind of attention, you also need more time to grow up."

"What about?" Tang Bandit asked.

"Tell me." The old man looked at Tang Bandit and said, "How about letting your little girlfriend participate in the heirloom? Doesn't she have any idea about that position?"
