Chapter 169 Useless Dad
The five people successfully infiltrated the Huoyun Gang. Fortunately, this small gang was formed by some independent cultivators with different levels, all in order to gather enough people to go to the secret realm to search for treasures.
"Where are you from, fellow Taoists? You look so unfamiliar." At this moment, a slightly unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded from behind Lu Wan and others.
Hearing this, the five people's hearts tightened, and they turned around instantly, looking in the direction of the sound with vigilance. They saw a tall, rough-looking man standing not far away, looking at them with interest.
The man seemed to realize that his question just now seemed a bit rash and abrupt, and he quickly smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "Don't be nervous, everyone. My name is Lei Ze, and I'm just a casual cultivator. I met you here by chance today. I see that you have extraordinary temperaments, but I feel that you are quite unfamiliar, so I asked you questions. I hope you will forgive me!" As he said that, Lei Ze clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and saluted.
Then, he stood up and continued, "To be honest, my cultivation has now reached the Lingyue Fairyland. When I saw several fellow Taoists just now, I couldn't help but be curious, because I felt that the spiritual power fluctuations in your bodies were a little weak..." At this point, Lei Ze showed an awkward smile on his face and did not continue.
However, even if he didn't finish, the five people present knew it well - this was clearly a hint that the spiritual power level of the five of them was too low and too weak. Faced with such a straightforward evaluation, the faces of the five people couldn't help but become a little ugly. But after all, the other party had no ill intentions, and was very powerful, so they couldn't get angry, so they could only suppress their dissatisfaction and remain silent.
"I have absolutely no intention of looking down on you!" Lei Ze waved his hands hurriedly, and then explained: "A rather special situation has appeared in this secret realm, that is, every gang that wants to enter it must have a sufficient number of people. And there is another crucial point, that is, the lower the spiritual power of the participants, the better. I noticed just now that you are all scattered practitioners, but because of this secret realm, you have temporarily put together a team from various gangs. After you really step into the secret realm, I am sure you will act separately and do your own things, right? In this case, why don't we form a group? Of course... Although each person needs to rely on his own abilities to explore the treasures in this secret realm, it is full of unknown risks and crises after all. If we can travel together, we can take care of each other, and maybe we can help each other at critical moments!"
Jiang Baiqi glanced at Lu Wan, and Lu Wan nodded.
Jiang Baiqi's signature smiling tiger smile instantly appeared on his face. He clasped his hands, bowed slightly, and said politely: "Brother Lei, how are you? My name is Qingyu, and these are all my brothers from the same clan. This one is Qinggui, that one is Qingxiao, and this one is Qingzhu! Oh, it's really embarrassing to say! Back then, our family was so prosperous that we had more than 20 brothers and sisters. However, things never go as planned, and the family suddenly encountered a huge change, and the relatives were separated. Over the years, we have been searching hard and asking around, but we have only found a few insignificant clues. This time, I heard that the secret realm here is extremely rare and precious, and all the cultivators in the entire middle world are fascinated by it. So, I brought these brothers here, thinking about whether I could try my luck and see if I could find some news about my relatives in this secret realm."
As Jiang Baiqi spoke, he glanced at the four people behind him, then turned his gaze to Lei Ze in front of him again, and continued with a wry smile: "To be honest with you, Brother Lei, you can tell from the way we brothers look that our spiritual power is really very low! This secret realm must be full of all kinds of unknown dangers and challenges. To be honest, we are really scared, for fear that we will bring unnecessary trouble to you, Brother Lei!"
Lei Ze looked at the few people in shock and gestured with his fingers. More than 20 brothers and sisters? How big a family would that be? I have never heard of a huge family falling into decline. But... looking at these five people, except for their low spiritual power, their clothes and aura really look like those of young masters from wealthy families.
Lei Ze patted his chest and walked towards Qingyu with a righteous look on his face.
"Brother Qingyu, how can I stand by and watch when my friend is in trouble! I, Lei Ze, am not afraid of anything. I have friends everywhere. I will take care of your search for your family. Don't worry, I, Lei Ze, will protect you during this trip to the secret realm!"
"Thank you very much, Brother Lei!" Jiang Baiqi bowed to Lei Ze with gratitude on his face.
"Thank you, Brother Lei." Lu Wan and others also bowed to Lei Ze.
"We are all brothers, no need to be polite!" Lei Ze waved his hand carelessly.
Lei Ze scratched his head and asked awkwardly, "Let me ask you a question. Which family are you from? I've never heard of a family with the last name Qing that's so fertile!"
Lu Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Baiqi and signaled him to continue making up stories.
At this time, Kong Sheng reacted and blinked. It was just making it up! I’m good at this!
Kong Sheng pushed Jiang Baiqi away and said pitifully, "Brother Lei, you don't know that we are not actually a big family! It's all my father's fault. When he was young, he was a playboy, a playboy, and he was affectionate and left seeds everywhere. If you look closely, we brothers all look different."
When Lei Ze heard this, he looked at them carefully. They did look different, but they were all pretty. Hmm! They could be considered pretty, but not half as pretty as himself.
"Alas... We are half brothers! Back then, my poor mother died early, and our family was not well off. We just did some small business to make ends meet. Looking back on the past, my mother was also a beautiful girl when she was young. She met my cruel father by chance and fell deeply in love with him. But fate played a trick on them. After a night of romance, they had me. However, my bastard father ruthlessly abandoned my mother and walked away without looking back! It's a pity that my mother and I were alone and dependent on each other, and our lives were very difficult. It was not until I grew up that, through various coincidences, I learned that I actually had so many brothers and sisters! It was really fate!" Kong Sheng's face was full of sorrow, with tears flickering in his eyes. He told the story of this unbearable past in a trembling voice.
Lu Wan coughed, it’s over~it’s over…
Kong Sheng was still shaking his head and lamenting.
It’s too shameful to watch… It’s too shameful to watch.
Mo Yan and the others turned their backs silently with their lips twitching slightly. Who on earth taught him to say that?
Lei Ze seemed to feel the same way and comforted him, "Brother Qinggui! Don't be afraid, Brother Lei will protect you from now on! Your bastard father is really useless."
