Lü Luo looked at the child again. Qiao Xing's meaning was clear. The child was also a mutant.
"So, you protected him for two years so that he wouldn't mutate even more?
You've been hugging him for the past two years? "
Lü Luo could roughly understand why Qiao Xing said that Qiao Xing only liked the younger brother now.
Qiao Xing hugged the child for two years without letting go. This was unacceptable to anyone.
"Yes, two years." Qiao Xing's gaze started to become hazy.
Lü Luo found it hard to imagine that the once optimistic and foul-mouthed man would become like this.
A transaction with an apostle was definitely not as simple as normal people thought.
An apostle would only use them.
"This matter is actually still your fault. You shouldn't have made a deal with it and shouldn't have trusted it."
"Yes, it's my fault. I know I'm wrong."
"Since you've realized the problem …"
Lü Luo thought for a while but didn't say the word "clean up" in the end.
For a good father and a good husband, it was too cruel to get rid of his son and wife.
He couldn't say it.
Not to mention anything else, if the Bambusa Chinensis and his daughter mutated, Lü Luo would do everything he could to raise them.
This was human nature. This was a type of weakness, but on the other hand, it was also a type of strength.
"Then what do you plan to do now? Continue to drag it out like this? "
"I don't know, but Li Lan and the child are innocent."
Qiao Xing's words seemed to have made a choice. He couldn't give up on his wife and child.
Lü Luo couldn't blame him in this aspect.
However, it seemed like his plan to get Qiao Xing to help would fail.
"Although I don't have the authority to say anything to Teacher, once a teacher, always a teacher.
If Teacher needs any help, you can contact me at any time. Just look for Nightmare Lord.
During this month, I will be in the Alliance.
If I leave, you can go to the Circle's base to get some help.
Also, if Teacher is not willing to solve the problem at hand, please take good care of Xiao Mi.
In this matter, the most innocent person was her.
If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first. "
Lü Luo's voice sounded a little cold.
Unfortunately, his wish to help Qiao Xiaomi fell through.
He would not be staying in the Wasteland Alliance for a long time in the future. The most he could do was to let Han Shiyu visit Xiao Mi frequently.
When Lü Luo was about to go downstairs, Qiao Xing stopped him.
"Wait, Lü Luo."
"Teacher, is there anything else?"
"Help me!" Qiao Xing clenched his fists. These two simple words seemed to have exhausted all of his strength.
"Help you? How can I help? "
"Let's end this."
Lü Luo was slightly surprised, but he also understood.
Since Qiao Xing had allowed him to enter and see all of this, he must have already made a decision in his heart.
He could not overcome this psychological barrier, so he could only seek Lü Luo's help.
"Help me, Lü Luo. There are not many people I can trust. Help me!"
The way Qiao Xing struggled made Lü Luo uncomfortable. This was his swordsmanship teacher!
But if he was the one to do it …
"Okay."
Lü Luo was not a cold-blooded person. Li Lan had left a lot of impressions in his memory.
However, after experiencing so many things, they were no longer children.
Some things needed to be decided.
Qiao Xing was like this, and so was he.
"Thank you, Lü Luo."
After Qiao Xing finished speaking, he reluctantly looked at the child and then looked at Li Lan.
"Lan, I'm sorry."
Li Lan, who had been struggling and screaming, suddenly stopped as if she felt something.
She looked at Qiao Xing in a daze. Perhaps her rationality had not been completely devoured by the power of the mutant.
Or perhaps, this was the only thing she had left.
In short, Li Lan knelt down, her eyes filled with confusion.
Suddenly, she spoke.
"Take good care of Xiao Mi."
Seeing his wife like this, Qiao Xing was even more reluctant.
"I will."
"If you hesitate, you can reconsider. Don't let yourself regret this kind of thing."
To be honest, this was Qiao Xing's family matter.
He felt a little awkward standing here.
No matter what he did, it was not a good thing. Normally, he should not get involved.
But now that Qiao Xing's situation was really very bad, as a disciple, he should do something.
"No need, Lü Luo. Thank you."
Qiao Xing's tone was inexplicable.
Lü Luo opened his mouth, but in the end, he did not try to persuade him.
Lü Luo had been tortured by a matter for two years, and it was such a thing, so he had no right to say anything.
But when he saw Qiao Xing's scene, he thought of Ludi in the past.
Ludi in the past was also very desperate, right?
But that guy was really optimistic. After experiencing so many things, he was able to survive.
"Teacher …"
"I'm going out. I'll leave this to you."
Qiao Xing touched his child with his hand, and the child in his hand actually bit his finger.
Qiao Xing's energy was enough to isolate this kind of biting, but the sadness was not something that could be isolated by energy.
In the end, he left the child on the ground and walked out.
Lü Luo did not stop for long. He walked towards the child.
Before he could get close, the child, who had always been honest, suddenly stretched out a long leg.
This leg was like a curved claw, and it hooked towards Lü Luo.
But this level of attack was already useless against Lü Luo.
Ding!
The hook made a metallic sound on Lü Luo's body. The child seemed to sense danger and immediately wanted to turn and run.
But how could his speed be compared to Lü Luo's?
Lü Luo raised his hand lightly, and a tentacle wrapped around him.
The Death Flames had already started to burn under Lü Luo's feet, and the dark purple flames gradually engulfed the room.
He had no intention of reuniting the mother and child, because Qiao Xing had already said so.
He had a feeling that if the two of them swallowed each other, there would be an even more powerful mutation.
If that happened, Qiao Xing would only be sadder.
Lü Luo was not that bored, so …
The Death Flames started to destroy everything. Qiao Xing's memories, the past, everything disappeared under the Death Flames.
Downstairs, Qiao Xing went to Qiao Xiaomi's room with a confused expression.
Qiao Xiaomi did not say anything. When she saw her father at the door, she called out softly.
"Daddy?"
Qiao Xing was not carrying her brother. This made Qiao Xiaomi a little happy, but more than that, she was worried about Qiao Xing's condition.
"Xiaomi, I'm sorry for the past two years."
Qiao Xing slowly hugged his daughter. Qiao Xiaomi seemed to feel her father's pain.
She carefully patted Qiao Xing's back.
"Daddy, Mommy and Brother …"
"It's okay. Everything will be fine."
Qiao Xiaomi was already 13 years old. She was no longer a child.
Two years was not a short time. Even if Qiao Xing had protected her well, two years was enough for Qiao Xiaomi to understand some things.
There seemed to be some problems with her mother and brother.
She had once wanted to secretly visit her mother, but what she got in return was her father's scolding and beating.
In the past, Qiao Xing would never beat her.
Since then, an invisible crack had appeared between the father and daughter.
Perhaps, today was the day that the crack would be repaired.
"Daddy, if anything happened at home, you could have told me. I'm already a big child.
There are many things that I can understand and accept.
For example, Mommy and Brother … "
Qiao Xing loosened his grip on his daughter and nodded vigorously.
"I understand …"
"Daddy, it seems like there's something upstairs."
"Go out. Everything is over."
…
Late at night, Qiao Xing and Qiao Xiaomi looked at their house that was being destroyed in a daze.
This place carried too many memories. But now, everything was destroyed.
Lü Luo had already walked out of the house.
As the executor, he even closed the door a little superfluously.
But soon, the door was burned down by Death Flame.
Lü Luo was not calm either. He looked at Qiao Xing.
"Do you have a cigarette?"
"Yes."
Just like that, the two men started smoking in front of the destroyed house.
Qiao Xiaomi was very obedient. She did not interrupt the two men at this moment. She knew that her father and Lü Luo would have a lot to talk about.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes." Qiao Xing nodded.
Although he said so, Lv Luo could not see the slightest trace of relaxation on his body.
Lü Luo could still vividly remember the despair from before.
The reason why Qiao Xing could talk to him as if nothing had happened was probably because of his promise to Li Lan and his love for Qiao Xiaomi.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
"You came here today because of something, right? Are you not going to say it? "
Lü Luo shook his head.
"With your current state, even if I say it, there's no point in it."
Qiao Xing wanted to refute, but Lü Luo did not give him the chance.
"Don't say it. It's been two years. Accompany Xiaomi well.
Before I came here, I saw her practicing swordsmanship at the Thorn Sword Rock.
Make it up to her and fulfill your responsibility as a father. "
Qiao Xing looked at Qiao Xiaomi and finally nodded.
Lü Luo left. He had not spoken much with Qiao Xing that night.
However, the two of them seemed to have communicated many things.
Perhaps this was the communication between men. When there was really something, there was no need for too many words to communicate.
Sometimes, a gaze or an attitude was enough.
After Lü Luo left, Qiao Xiaomi held Qiao Xing's hand.
"Daddy."
"Yes, your mother and brother …"
"Daddy, you don't have to explain. I know."
"Daddy will accompany you in the future." Qiao Xing was a little ashamed, and his gaze was a little inexplicable.
"But Daddy, don't you need to look for Big Brother Lü Luo? He probably came here today to look for you.
Maybe he needs your help. After all, Daddy is the strongest four-ring swordsman. "
Qiao Xiaomi's analysis was right. Qiao Xing also roughly knew why Lü Luo was here. Unfortunately …
"The current Daddy is no longer fit to hold a sword."
"No, in my heart, Daddy will always be the strongest swordsman. The kind that's even stronger than Big Brother Lü Luo."
"Really?" Qiao Xing's gaze seemed to have something else.
"Of course it's true. So, Daddy, if you want, go and look for Big Brother Lü Luo.
I'll look for Lu Xiaotian myself or Aunt Han Shiyu.
I'll be fine. "
Qiao Xing looked in the direction Lü Luo left and finally nodded.
"Okay!"
…
Over the next few days, the Hunters collected information about the inner circle one by one.
Lü Luo wandered around the third high wall every night like a ghost.
However, the guards here were indeed a little strong.
Lü Luo even suspected that the inner circle council had invested most of their power into the guards.
Were they afraid that the Nightmare Lord would attack them?
Lü Luo's shadowy figure attracted some people's attention. For example, the guard on duty tonight, Lü Yang.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I feel like someone is flying over."
"No, don't worry. There's a warning set up by the guards inside the wall.
Transcendents who can fly are at least Level 7.
However, even if they're Level 7, they can't escape the detection here. Don't worry, Brother Yang. This warning is set up by more than ten experts. There won't be any problems. "
"I hope so."
Lü Yang also knew that the barrier here was very advanced. There had never been any problems.
However, he had an indescribable feeling today.
It was as if something was about to happen.
A few years ago, Lü Yang had also lost all his power because of the dissipation of the Holy Light.
However, he was not discouraged or gave up.
He wanted to make some achievements, so he quickly left the church and joined the inner circle's guards.
The guards had the cultivation methods of the inner circle council.
These cultivation methods were not affected by the Holy Light.
After a few years, Lü Yang had improved a lot and had already reached the position of a squadron leader.
This was already a very good position for him, who used to be a member of the church.
This was because members of the council system usually discriminated against and were hostile to people from the church system.
However, Lü Yang was a good person and did things flawlessly. Therefore, his performance won the respect of most people.
That was why he could reach his current position.
To be able to become a squadron leader, Lü Yang was treading on thin ice and trembling with fear.
He would treat his work seriously every day.
However, he knew that if the fourth circle really launched an attack on the inner circle, he would probably be the first to die.
However, he had no choice.
Staying in the inner circle was his wish. There was nothing to say about it.
With a strange feeling, Lü Yang was on duty at night. He only heaved a sigh of relief when it was time to change shifts at five in the morning.
"Brother Yang, do you want to go out for breakfast?"
"No, I'm waiting to go back."
"I heard that Brother Yang has a girlfriend. How is it? How's it going?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Just wait for my good news."
Lü Yang spoke very casually in the face of his colleagues' jokes.
However, just as he changed out of his guard uniform and was about to leave the third high wall, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Brother, are you okay?"
