Chapter 2050: Still the Same Answer
Chapter 2050: Chapter 2050: Still the Same Answer
Xiao Yi heard this, and his heart suddenly jumped.
In fact, he had long known why the Changtian Wine Demon would suddenly appear and the reason why he had to ’force’ him to leave now.
And this reason was exactly what he did not want to deal with at present.
That’s why he had just intended to flee far away.
He wanted to discuss with the Changtian Wine Demon, but just as he was about to speak, his body trembled.
That phrase ’No one dares to defy’ was by no means an empty talk.
Xiao Yi was well aware that that old guy was extremely overbearing.
"Senior Changtian." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment but still opened his mouth.
"What?" The Changtian Wine Demon asked lightly.
Xiao Yi hesitated.
The Changtian Wine Demon smiled, "Why are you hesitating? Could I have scared you?"
"Not quite." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"I just feel that Senior Changtian and I have some acquaintance."
"I even feel that with Senior Changtian, it’s like meeting an old friend at first sight."
"You put it well." The Changtian Wine Demon nodded with a smile, "From the moment I first saw you, I felt you were not ordinary."
"How do I say this, though I’ve lived for a long time; you are probably not even a fraction of my age."
"But I always feel that maybe we can be considered friends across generations."
"Perhaps this is your charming attribute."
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Changtian." Xiao Yi nodded.
"If so, Senior Changtian, why force me to do something I do not wish to do?"
The Changtian Wine Demon was first stunned and then smiled, "It seems you know the reason I came to find you, and you also know why I am taking you back."
"Speaking with a smart person is really relaxing and somewhat interesting."
The next second, the Changtian Wine Demon smiled bitterly, "As for forcing, how can this be considered forcing?"
"You kid, you really are strange."
"Such a good opportunity, others pray for it and can’t get it, even other young Heavenly Talents and Monsters pursue it eagerly."
"Yet you avoid it as if it’s a curse..."
"It’s just that I’m more afraid of dying." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Afraid of dying?" The Changtian Wine Demon glared at Xiao Yi, "You’re afraid of dying, yet you dare to kill Evil Cultivators everywhere? Afraid of dying, yet dare to cause ten families so much death and injury?"
"I think your courage is bigger than anyone else’s."
"I’ve checked on you; ever since you became known, wherever there’s danger, there’s your figure."
"I even think you’re good at everything except you never consider your own life."
The last sentence, the Changtian Wine Demon said very seriously.
Xiao Yi was slightly embarrassed and wanted to say something.
"Alright, stop making excuses for me." The Changtian Wine Demon clearly saw through Xiao Yi’s thoughts.
"Master wants to see you and has asked you to return to Black Demon Hall, it’s not..."
Xiao Yi interrupted seriously, "Perhaps it is like sending a lamb to the tiger’s mouth, isn’t it?"
The Changtian Wine Demon chuckled lightly, "Master isn’t as terrifying as you say."
"Besides, your Master isn’t willing to harm you at all now."
"No matter how much you infuriate Master to look like that, Master will swallow it down; you can rest assured."
"Really?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.
"Really." The Changtian Wine Demon affirmed with a nod.
At this moment, the Changtian Wine Demon was selling out Senior Luoo without any hesitation before Xiao Yi.
...
Over half an hour later.
In the Main Hall of the Black Demon Hall.
The figures of the Changtian Wine Demon and Xiao Yi appeared out of thin air.
"Hmm?" The Changtian Wine Demon glanced around, "In the past, Master always liked to stand here, hands behind his back, gazing at the stars in the sky, but he isn’t today."
"Heh." The Changtian Wine Demon sensed for a moment and smiled.
"In the Master of the Main Hall’s room."
"Master surely knew you were returning and put up airs."
"Er." Xiao Yi froze for a moment.
"Go." The Changtian Wine Demon said.
The two went to the Master of the Main Hall’s room and pushed the door open.
Sure enough, Senior Luoo was inside, standing with his hands behind, back to the crowd.
"Master..." The Changtian Wine Demon was the first to salute.
"In your eyes, do you still see me as your Master?" Senior Luoo’s voice was cold, with a hint of hostility.
"Of course." The Changtian Wine Demon immediately responded respectfully.
Senior Luoo slowly turned around, "Do you think, within the Black Demon Hall, that any word or action can be hidden from me?"
Hearing this, the Changtian Wine Demon shrunk his head and looked at Senior Luoo’s increasingly hostile expression, repeatedly saying, "Master, I have already brought Xiao Xun back."
"If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave."
"Brought?" Xiao Yi was puzzled for a moment.
The Changtian Wine Demon had already bowed out.
Senior Luoo glanced at him, but didn’t pay further attention, shifting his focus to Xiao Yi.
However, neither took the initiative to speak first.
The air stayed silent like this.
Xiao Yi stood there, neither humble nor arrogant, eyes as cold as usual.
Senior Luoo, with his hands behind his back, slowly squinted his eyes and was the first to open his mouth.
"What? Think it’s impressive to have escaped from my Dawn Bell half a month ago? So you can be presumptuous in front of me?"
Xiao Yi heard this and also opened his mouth, "If the Master of the Main Hall feels I am arrogant now, I can leave immediately to save the Master from being annoyed."
Saying this, Xiao Yi slightly moved his steps, prepared to leave.
He had long said that Senior Luoo was by no means kindhearted.
Dealing with him must be like walking on thin ice.
Xiao Yi had no interest in taking such a risk; if he could, he would rather leave now.
"Leave?" Senior Luoo sneered, "Then go if you dare."
"Half a month ago, you ran away, and now, aren’t you still appearing here?"
"As long as I wish, you must return."
In the sneer, those domineering words made Xiao Yi’s steps halt.
What he did not know was that initially, Senior Luoo planned to let him return on his own.
Unfortunately, it did not go as planned.
He could only send the Changtian Wine Demon to capture him back.
Xiao Yi stopped, squinted his eyes, and said, "Master of the Main Hall wants me back, for what exactly?"
With a clatter.
On the desk, a dark Token was thrown down.
Senior Luoo coolly said, "Take this token, and you can leave."
The Token was naturally the Vice Hall Token.
Xiao Yi frowned, inwardly thinking as expected.
In fact, he had already guessed that the Changtian Wine Demon capturing him back to the Main Hall must have been at Senior Luoo’s behest.
And Senior Luoo wanted him back, certainly for the matter of accepting the token.
Xiao Yi frowned, speaking in a deep voice, "The same question, I have already answered."
"Why must the Master of the Main Hall have me give the same answer again..."
Senior Luoo interrupted coldly, "This is the last time I ask you."
"Will you accept this Vice Hall Token or not?"
The words seemed to be squeezed from Senior Luoo’s teeth.
It was clear, too, that Senior Luoo had little patience left.
The hint of hostility and coldness on his face was becoming more pronounced.
The surrounding air suddenly turned incredibly heavy.
Xiao Yi even felt as if the surrounding air had become a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain, pressing him so he couldn’t breathe.
Yet his eyes remained indifferent; he shook his head, "No."
