"Hey! You're just going to leave me here? You might as well kill me! Can you hear me? " Lin Ge shouted angrily in the water prison. Unfortunately, he didn't get any reply. The only response he got was the sound of the two ferocious crocodiles crazily hitting the iron bars.
Clang — clang — Every hit was accompanied by the impact of water waves. Lin Ge's mental state was a little hysterical. Wasn't this a little too much? That was enough. Why was there no end to it? He obviously wanted to learn more secrets from Wen Xiao, yet he still played this game with him.
Lin Ge didn't understand. The more dangerous his situation was, the more passive Wen Xiao would be in front of Uncle Xiang. The more passive Wen Xiao was, the more dangerous his situation would be. This was a vicious cycle, and it was definitely not their current advantage. Lin Ge overestimated their bargaining chip to know Guoguo's secret.
In Uncle Xiang's eyes, even without their help, as long as it was something he wanted, he would definitely get it. Now that he had the two of them, they were just two more chess pieces that he could use. They weren't people that Uncle Xiang couldn't let go of.
That was why Lin Ge was heartlessly thrown into the water prison. These actions could even be said to be killing the chicken to warn the monkey. It was to let Wen Xiao see that they were definitely not that important in East Xiang's eyes. He should never think too highly of himself and act too self-righteous in front of him. He could throw them away at any time.
Wen Xiao now understood the whole thing clearly. He absolutely believed that if he was stupid enough to go against Uncle Xiang, the consequences would be unimaginable. Whether Lin Ge could keep his life now depended on how he could gain Uncle Xiang's trust. Uncle Xiang, this old fox, really lived up to his name.
"One-eyed, you know I don't have much patience. Just give me a quick answer." Uncle Xiang was also chasing after Wen Xiao. Information was of utmost importance at any time.
Wen Xiao met Uncle Xiang's gaze and said lightly, "The Xixihoya is a little girl. She should still be in the Suhang area. However, she's heavily protected. It's definitely not that easy to get close to her. Uncle Xiang, if you want to get that little girl from Xixihoya Clan and Pobo Jade, you really need my brother and my help. Both of us have seen that little girl before, but none of your other brothers have seen her before, so we don't have a target. "
Uncle Xiang's expression was a little cold. "One-eyed, if you still want to lie to me at this time, I won't be polite to you. You know that there are two pets that often don't get food next to my water prison. You don't want to watch your brothers to become my pets' dinner, right? "
"Uncle Xiang, why should I lie to you? I'm to say it! " Wen Xiao opened his eyes wide and said, "You can't rely on your own intuition to determine the truth of what I said! How can I joke with you at a time like this? "
"One-eyed, I believe you when you say that this Xixihoya is a little girl. I also believe you when you say that this little girl has many people protecting her. I believe you even more when you say that you and your brother have seen this Xixihoya girl." Uncle Xiang said, "But I definitely don't believe you when you say that this Xixihoya girl is still in Suhang."
Wen Xiao was stunned. Was this old thing's intuition so accurate? This was the only place he had lied about. He was worried that Uncle Xiang would arrange for his men in Huaxia to find Guoguo, so he made up a place where Guoguo was in Suhang.
However, this place should be very convincing! Because Wen Xiao died in Suhang, Uncle Xiang had no reason to not believe that the Xixihoya girl was in Suhang! Why? Could it be that this old fox was a living lie detector?
Wen Xiao had no temper at all. He waited in shock for Uncle Xiang to give him a reason not to believe him.
"Indeed, this Xixihoya girl might have been kidnapped by Vulture and brought to Suhang, but now that Vulture is dead, she can't still be in Suhang." Uncle Xiang said, "That's because you're recuperating on Guqin Island. If I remember correctly, you're at Guqin Island City Hospital … Since you've admitted that your injuries were healed by Po Boyu, then this Xihoya girl must've come to Guqin Island too."
Uncle Xiang's analysis was very cautious. "So, you can conclude that this Xixihoya girl's location must be Guqin Island. No matter if she's still there or not, you should tell me that she's in Guqin Island and not Suhang … One-eyed, how can I believe you? "
Wen Xiao needed an explanation. He had to give a reasonable explanation. "Uncle Xiang, let me finish! I dare to say that the Xixihoya girl is in Suhang because I know she went there! And she had to go! Do you know why Vulture died in Suhang? Because Po Boyu was in Suhang, that's why he went there. Now that my condition has improved, Po Boyu naturally needs to be put back. "
Uncle Xiang suddenly frowned. This was indeed a question that he hadn't thought of. At this moment, he couldn't make sense of it and fell into a state of confusion. "One-eyed, Pobo Jade only has that kind of magical power when worn by the Xixihoya Tribesmen! If it's not worn by the Xixihoya people, then it's useless! In other words, the real Xixihoya person is not necessarily the little girl that Vulture lost his life for, but someone else who lives in seclusion in Suhang?! "
Wen Xiao was speechless after Uncle Xiang's analysis. It seems that when a person's thinking is too meticulous, when a person's thinking is too complicated, it is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, if you think too much, you will get yourself into trouble.
This was Uncle Xiang's current situation. He was afraid that he had really gotten himself into trouble. Uncle Xiang had already complicated a simple matter, and he did not need Wen Xiao's guidance at all. This really made Wen Xiao heave a sigh of relief. At least in this situation, he did not need to say or do anything. He just needed to follow Uncle Xiang's lead and let him figure it out himself.
"So the water here is really deep …" Uncle Xiang thought too much. In the end, even he himself felt that it was a little unbelievable. "One-eyed, I wonder if you and Vulture have figured out who the real Xixihoya person is. Hmph, Vulture's death was really not worth it."
Hearing Uncle Xiang's words, Wen Xiao naturally wouldn't argue. He shook his head blankly. "No, no, no … Could it all be a trap?"
Uncle Xiang thought too much and felt that his head was about to explode. "I don't want to hear anything now. I just want to be alone and think about it quietly. One-eyed, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you. "
Wen Xiao was startled. He did not understand what Uncle Xiang meant.
"In this small temple of mine, other than the water prison, I really don't know where else you can stay," Uncle Xiang said faintly. "Since you care about your brother, then go accompany him. It won't be too late for us to talk about it tomorrow after I figure this out."
"Uncle Xiang, you don't have to treat me like an outsider, right?" Wen Xiao did not want to end up like Lin Ge, and he could not resist because of Lin Ge.
Uncle Xiang pointed at his head. "I'm sorry, One-eyed brother. I just hope that this thing on my neck can stay there for a few more years. I'm sorry."
"Yes. There is indeed no trust. " Wen Xiao smiled. "In that case, I won't make things difficult for Uncle Xiang. If you want me to go to the water prison, I'll go to the water prison. I'll bring this sincerity to Uncle Xiang. I hope Uncle Xiang will understand tomorrow."
"If you had brought your brother with you when you first came, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any doubt between us." Uncle Xiang did not give Wen Xiao any face. "If we could work together, we would still be friends."
The corners of Wen Xiao's mouth curled up, revealing a silent smile. Then he straightened up and allowed Ding Cai and Jing Qu to lead him to the water dungeon. With these two watching over him, Uncle Xiang was not worried at all. He went back to his room by himself. He had to think things through tonight!
