Chapter 153：

Rather than accepting that a cowardly and incompetent person becomes confident and competent, they are more willing to accept that this confident and competent person is a fake from beginning to end.

By the next day, the rumor had reached the ears of the city lord Xining.

Xining was furious, and sent people to thoroughly investigate where the rumor came from, but it was spread by too many people, and the original source could not be found at all.

The three main hall masters, Hall Master Wu and Hall Master Shang have all gone out. Pan Zhenyi, the master of the Fragrant Hall, and Zhao Yu, the deputy city master Zhao Yu, who are in the city, have both believed the rumors. Thoroughly investigate Xi Yao, and even propose to imprison Xi Yao.

Xi Ning wanted to imprison the two of them, but Pan Shulin and Zhao Shun brought the beast soldiers of Xiangtang Master and Deputy City Master to speak and intercede.

When things got out of hand, Xi Ning was furious and confronted everyone with his own strength.

He even secretly planned to use force.

Seeing this, Pan Shulin hurriedly came out and said: "The city lord calm down, everyone is also worried about the city lord, afraid of that counterfeit..."

"Who are you calling a counterfeit?!" Xining's voice hit Pan Shulin's face and heart as cold as ice scum.

"..." Pan Shulin closed her lips tightly, lowered her head and reluctantly changed her words: "I'm afraid that stopping the rumors will endanger the safety of the city lord."

"He's my younger brother, how could he harm me?" Xining narrowed his eyes, scanned the people in the meeting room and said, "I think you guys want to harm me, right?"

"City Master!" Deputy City Master Zhao Yu said loudly: "City Master be careful, we will be loyal."

Pan Zhenyi echoed: "Yes, City Lord, we have also worked hard."

"Really?" Xining sneered coldly, everyone looked dissatisfied, Pan Shulin said: "City Lord, since you don't believe us, why not do this, Xi Yao belongs to the Xi family, and the Xi family has been controlling beasts since ancient times, otherwise wait for Xi Yao to come back , Let him control the beast for everyone to see, if he can, then he must be the Xi family."

That Xi Yao has never been able to control beasts since she was a child...

A trace of calculation flashed in Pan Shulin's eyes.

Hearing this, Xi Ning sneered and clenched her palms tightly, almost unable to suppress her anger. Yao'er was timid since she was a child, and she didn't like to learn, so she never mastered beast control. No one in Ning'an City knows, this person is so big He has the guts to use a skill that Yao'er doesn't know at all to plot against Yao'er!

Seeing that the city lord Xi Ning did not speak, and everyone looked at him in astonishment, Pan Shulin explained: "I know that Ayao couldn't control beasts when she was young, but he is already an adult. After so long, he is from the Xi family blood. , this ability to control beasts is born in the blood, as long as he knows the method, he will be able to control the beast, and I believe he has already memorized this method by heart."

Everyone suddenly realized that the young master did not know how to control beasts before, and that was already something that happened when the young master was young.

Pan Zhenyi echoed: "Yes, City Master, this young master is already an adult, if he is of the blood of the Xi family, he must be able to control beasts. If he is forced like this, he can't even control beasts. This blood is really doubtful."

"Bold!" Xining gritted his teeth and spit out two words, but he was completely unable to refute the father and son.

The talent in Xi Yao's bloodline does exist, as long as he remembers the method, it is impossible for him not to be able to control beasts, and Xin Ning can guarantee that as long as Xi Yao is of Xi family's blood, he will definitely be able to control beasts.

But...Xining thought of his younger brother when he was a child, huddled into a ball in front of the beast, his trembling hands couldn't move his strength at all, and his heart throbbed with pain.

His Yao'er had a shadow on controlling beasts since he was a child. When his father was around, he taught him thousands of times and he still hadn't succeeded. He didn't have time to teach him when he grew up, but now he was suddenly asked to use it... How could he make it happen? come out.

But if you can't use it, it's a counterfeit?

What's the point.

Xi Ning rubbed the iron ring in his hand, it was a weapon that Xi Yao asked the ancient orcs to make for him, such a well-behaved brother... how could he hurt himself, these people can tell.

With a sudden force, Xi Ning shattered the table next to him. The iron ring started to show its sharp claws: "Whoever mentions this again will end up at this table."

"...City Lord!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Xi Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Get lost before I repent!"

The powerful momentum forced everyone to take a step back. It was obvious that Xi Ning was extremely angry, and his eyes were faintly red.

Seeing this, the deputy city lord didn't dare to delay, and took Zhao Shan back to leave. Pan Zhenyi wanted to say something, but was dragged away by Pan Shulin.

At the door, Pan Zhenyi still wanted to go in, but Pan Shulin hurriedly stopped him: "Father."

"Shulin, now that the city lord is bewitched by that counterfeit, how can you all protect yourselves wisely because you are afraid of the city lord's anger?" Pan Zhenyi's face was full of hatred: "My Pan family has always been loyal to the city lord. No matter what punishment you get, as long as it is honest advice, you must let the city lord listen to it."

"..." Pan Shulin frowned, his father was really old.

He pulled Pan Zhenyi and said, "Father, I didn't say to ignore this matter."

"?" Pan Zhenyi looked at Pan Shulin suspiciously.

Pan Shulin leaned closer to Pan Zhenyi and said softly: "The city lord is so angry now that he can't hear anyone's words. If we go in like this and mention it to him, it will have no effect other than being punished."

Pan Zhenyi clutched his chest and said, "The city lord is really confused."

Pan Shulin persuaded: "This is also in the imagination. In the heart of the city lord, the counterfeit is his younger brother, and his younger brother Xi Yao is the treasure in the heart of the city lord. Naturally, no one can allow others to slander him."

Pan Zhenyi said: "But we are not slandering him, he is really..."

"I know, I know." Pan Shulin interrupted Pan Zhenyi, helped him to go out, and whispered as he walked: "Father, don't worry, I have already discussed this matter with the deputy city lord Zhao Yu. If the city lord disagrees with this If it’s a matter, let’s cut it first and play it later, won’t the rumor come back in five days, when the deputy city lord and I will take people to the beach to wait for him.”

Pan Zhenyi seemed to disapprove: "Hiding the city lord like this..."

Pan Shulin said: "There is no way to do this, you have also seen the attitude of the city lord just now."

"..." Hearing this, Pan Zhenyi silently closed his mouth.

When Wang Jin woke up again, he was lying on a rock with a black coat covering his body, but he was not wearing anything underneath.

Wang Jin clutched his coat, turned over and sat up, the man who turned his back to him turned around and walked over as soon as he sat up.

"Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Jin stared at the man in astonishment, and it took him half a moment to come back to his senses. He stepped forward and put his arms around the man, sobbing in a voice that he couldn't even notice: "Brother Heng, I finally found you."

Yuan Heng supported him with one hand and hugged him with the other, the tenderness in his eyes was like water, shining white under the sunlight.

"You little brother, I'm really worrying." The man said, his nose a little sour.

He almost lost his brother. Fortunately, since the beast tide, Yuan Heng dripped a drop of blood on his wrist. This is the unique perception technique of orcs. This drop of blood draws ancient orcs, allowing him to know The safety of those who have been dripped with blood.

He gave it to two people, one is Wang Jin and the other is Cheng Bai.

I thought it was Cheng Bai who was in danger this time, but when he arrived, he found out that it was his brother.

"You didn't stay in the city well, why did you come out?" Yuan Heng asked, his face sullen.

This time I caught up, if I was a little later, the consequences would be disastrous.

Why is this brother so incapable of taking care of himself? What would happen without him?

Yuan Heng was both angry and distressed.

Wang Jin was taken aback by Yuan Heng's stern face, and suddenly felt wronged.

He worked so hard to find this person, and this person just talked to him like this!

The brother looked at him with his clear eyes, as if he was frightened by his stern face, his eyes soon filled with a layer of water mist, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was affected. Great grievance.

"Brother Heng did such a dangerous thing without telling me. I haven't mentioned Brother Heng yet, but Brother Heng has already mentioned me."

His voice was soft, because the trembling of his lips gave off a little trill, which made Yuan Heng's heart sway and sway, until the anger in his heart disappeared, leaving only waves of heartache. ripple.

"It's my fault." The heartache seemed to overwhelm him, Yuan Heng's knuckles trembled, and he stretched out his arms uncontrollably to hug the aggrieved brother tightly, and gently placed his generous hand on the back of his head, and said softly: " It's because I didn't explain it to you properly, which made you worry."

That man is obviously strong enough to face multiple Haiqiong by himself, but at this moment his whole body is trembling, as if he has experienced something extremely frightening.

The man hugged his hands tightly again and again, but the hugs around him never made him feel suffocated or uncomfortable...

Wang Jin's heart softened, and he buried his face in the man's arms stickily, and said softly, "I forgive you."

A low-pitched laugh came from above, Wang Jin raised his face to look, Yuan Heng let go of Wang Jin, squatted down to look at him and said, "Little brother, can I make an appointment with you?"

"What do you want to agree on?"

The man's light-colored pupils are full of affection, and the pupils reflected by the sun are like stars in the sky, so beautiful that people can't move their eyes away.

The brother stared at him without blinking, his appearance seemed a little demented, but his own appearance was reflected in his eyes, and his eyes were full of joy, as if he was the most beautiful person in the world and made him reluctant to blink. The straightforward gaze greatly pleased Yuan Heng.

Yuan Heng moved his knuckles slightly, stretched out his hand to take the soft hand of the brother, and wrapped his hand in his palm, the man felt as if he owned the whole world.

He solemnly said: "From now on, I will tell you wherever I go, and I will tell you the truth if there is any danger."

Hearing this, Wang Jin blinked and said, "You should have done this long ago, you are my orc!"

That brother said domineeringly, and held Yuan Heng's hand with his backhand, as if he was saying - you are mine, so you have to tell me everything you do.

Yuan Heng's heart skipped a beat.

This little brother said a simple sentence as if he was confessing his love.
