Zheng Xinli pulled me, and I couldn't help being dragged out by her, but I still looked at the door reluctantly, feeling uneasy in my heart.
Chapter 2 and Six: The Situation of the Demon Management Bureau
As soon as they left the house, the three elders all turned around and stared at me fiercely. This time it was Gao Wenjie who spoke first: "Boy of the Yang family, we have saved him for you. Should the book of heaven be handed over to us?"
Gao Wenjie's tone sounded like a three-point threat, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Besides, I obviously said that the matter of the Heavenly Book could be discussed after Bai Ling was safe, but I didn't say that I would hand over the Heavenly Book to them directly. What means?
Seeing how vigilant I was, Han Yingqin explained, "Boy of the Yang family, the Heavenly Book is of great importance. The safety of the world depends on it. It can get the best protection in our hands. We promise to do our best to protect it." Protect the two of you with all your strength, and of course you won’t break your promise. You can rest assured about this, Mr. Xu’s medical skills are superb, and your friend will be fine. Time is running out, so you can hand over the heavenly book to us!”
Han Yingqin's words are much more kind, but I am not a three-year-old child, and I am not someone who can be fooled by a few innocuous words. I know very well that the Heavenly Book is the only guarantee for the safety of Bai Ling and me, and now Bai Ling is still alive Uncertain, how can I hand over the heavenly book to their hands.
Along the way, I learned a truth: no one can be trusted.
I don't know the purpose of the three elders of the Demon Control Bureau, and I don't want to know. I only care about Bai Ling's safety, and I will never make a move until I get the news that Bai Ling is out of danger.Now that I have left the Demon Management Bureau, I have no way to give Bai Ling a good safety guarantee.
The Heavenly Book is my bargaining capital with them.
At this time, Ren Honglin didn't speak, but the expression on his face was thought-provoking, and my heart sank immediately: "We have agreed long ago that the condition for me to hand over the heavenly book is that Bai Ling's life is out of danger, and now is not the time."
My words were decisive, but when Gao Wenjie heard it, his face immediately changed: "Boy, we have already given you enough face, we don't have time to waste time with you here, if you don't hand over the heavenly book today, don't blame us for being rude." Already!"
These words were full of threats, but I couldn't help but sneered, and said sarcastically: "The three elders of the majestic Demon Management Bureau are going to go back on their promises now, and are they going to join forces to embarrass me, a junior?"
"You..." Gao Wenjie's face became even more ugly immediately. He was about to make a move, but was stopped by Ren Honglin. Now he finally spoke: "Wenjie!"
It was just a call, the voice was as calm as still water, but the anger on Gao Wenjie's face was extinguished in an instant. Immediately, his eyes dodged and he took a step back. At this moment, he still glared at me fiercely. one time.
"Boy of the Yang family, we have our difficulties. I hope you can understand that we are bound to win his Heavenly Book. This has nothing to do with identity. The Heavenly Book is a big matter and we cannot afford to lose it. If you continue to hinder us like this, we don't rule out using strong methods." possibility." Ren Honglin's voice was still faint, but this voice always gave people an invisible coercion.
"We can give you some more time to think about it! We understand your concerns. We have promised to do our best to protect the safety of you and your friends. What else do you have to worry about? Time waits for no one, so cherish yourself!" Han Yingqin took He said with a kind smile, he has behaved harmlessly to humans and animals from the beginning, but I always feel that he is the scariest smiling tiger.
The three of them talked to each other, threatening and luring, and after they finished speaking, they turned and returned to their exclusive car. At the last moment, Gao Wenjie still didn't forget to turn his head and look at me meaningfully.
I looked at the car and weighed the pros and cons in my heart. Now that Bai Ling and I are dependent on others, our lives cannot be guaranteed, and if Bai Ling's current injury is not supported by the Demon Control Bureau, I really don't know what to do.
But as our only guarantee of the heavenly book, the three elders are also coveting it. Although I am very reluctant to hand it over, I think that I have no ability to prevent the three elders from taking the heavenly book from my hands.
How can I do?At this moment, I am completely out of ideas.
If I had the strength not to look at other people's faces, this matter could be easily solved, but the problem is, I don't have it now!
Seeing that I was in a daze, Zheng Xinli came over and patted my shoulder, then said to me, "Are you okay?"
I looked back at Zheng Xinli with a worried face, and suddenly couldn't help but sigh. I have caused her a lot in this matter, and now I feel very sorry. I can't speak, I can only be caught between me and the three elders in embarrassment.
"I'm fine!" Although I said so, the pressure in my heart was so overwhelming that I almost couldn't breathe. Now I am facing the pressure from the three elders and worrying about Bai Ling. My heart is really a mess.
I went to Mr. Xu's steps and sat down. Zheng Xinli also sat beside me silently. Huang Shiming sat on a tree not far away, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind.
The two of us were sitting on the steps, my attention was not on Zheng Xinli, but she hesitated to speak when she saw me like this, the atmosphere was awkward for a while.
"Lin Mo..." In the end Zheng Xinli still called me, but then fell silent again.
"If you have something to say in front of me, just say it, it's okay!" I still have a good impression of Zheng Xinli, no more than the three old men from the Demon Control Bureau.
Zheng Xinli seemed to be struggling, she shook her lips: "The three elders have taken over the Demon Management Bureau for many years, and the Demon Management Bureau means a lot to them. For them, the Demon Management Bureau is a home, a belief, and a sustenance. But They are not in charge of the Demon Control Bureau's affairs."
After a pause, Zheng Xinli continued: "The reason why the Demon Control Bureau exists is because of the above." Zheng Xinli pointed to the sky with her finger, and I followed the direction she pointed, and looked up at the dark cloudy sky. Come, it seems that there are a pair of huge eyes in the sky spying on the world.
"So, our bureau is constrained by people. In recent decades, the influence of the Demon Control Bureau has been getting smaller and smaller. The higher authorities have long wanted to abandon the Drug Control Bureau. This time the Tianshu incident caused chaos in the world, and the Demon Control Bureau has no ability at all. Calm down, the higher-ups are furious and order the three elders to get the heavenly book to calm the chaos, if the Demon Management Bureau can't show its value this time, it may really be removed forever." Zheng Xinli looked down at the ground, as if muttering to herself .
"So what does this have to do with you?" I asked with incomprehension, obviously the elders disliked her very much, wouldn't it be better if the Demon Management Bureau was gone?She will be free.
"My father was the former General Administration. My family has been greatly favored by the three elders, so I worked hard to defeat all competitors and took the position of the General Administration. I wanted to rectify the bureau and give Sanlao a better demon management bureau, but when I sat in this position, I realized that things were not as simple as I imagined."
"This reason is not sufficient. You might as well tell me that you fell in love with the Demon Management Bureau." I said casually, but who knows, Zheng Xinli stopped talking, as if I was right, the corners of my eyes trembled After a while, he asked: "You can't be real..."
Before I finished speaking, Zheng Xinli nodded her head: "I don't want to see the Bureau of Demon Control being dismissed!"
Chapter 2: Bai Ling is okay
Zheng Xinli's behavior was reasonable, but it was beyond my expectation, which made me a little difficult to deal with.
"Bai Ling's safety is the top priority now, and I have no quarrel with the Demon Control Bureau. As long as our safety can be guaranteed, I will not make things difficult for you!" I sighed and said.
"Now it's not a question of whether you are making things difficult or not, but Gao Wenjie has a bad temper. If you make him anxious, I'm afraid you will have conflicts. I really..." Zheng Xinli's expression on his face It seems very difficult.
I also knew that it would be difficult for her to be caught between me and the third elder, and I didn't want to make it difficult for her, so I comforted her: "Don't worry! I know my current situation, and I won't make it difficult for you."
Hearing this, Zheng Xinli immediately raised her head and looked at me with grateful eyes.To be honest, if she hadn't been connected, my relationship with the Demon Management Bureau would definitely be worse now, and I should thank her.
After getting my consent, a smile finally appeared on Zheng Xinli's face. For her, the relationship between me and the three elders can be handled well, which is the most concerned thing now!
Therefore, the atmosphere here has eased a lot. The three elders have never come out since getting into their car. Huang Shiming seemed to be asleep, sitting under the tree without moving.
Zheng Xinli and I chatted about different topics and had a good time.Finally, I heard her laugh for the first time.The image Zheng Xinli first appeared in front of me was that of a cold and strong woman. At the beginning, I was severely repaired by her, but now thinking about it, it is embarrassing.
At this time, Zheng Xinli was like an iceberg that had not melted for ten thousand years, and now it finally melted in front of me.
Infected by her laughter, my uneasy mood was relieved a lot. In this way, until the evening, there was finally movement in Mr. Xu's house.
First, the door opened, and then the voice of Old Xu came from inside: "Boy, you come in alone!"
Immediately, my heart was raised again. At this time, my mood was like that of a family member waiting outside the operating room. When the lights in the operation were dimmed, waiting for the doctor inside to pronounce the verdict, I felt deeply uneasy. , praying involuntarily, there must be no bad news.
These mental states just flashed through my mind. The moment Boss Xu's voice sounded, Zheng Xinli and I stood up together, and even Huang Shiming, who was resting with his eyes closed in the distance, opened his eyes.
The courtyard of Xu's old mansion is overgrown with weeds, and it is not popular at all, and there is a weird feeling everywhere, and thinking of the scene of the snakes dancing just now, I can't help but feel my scalp tingle again.
This time, Mr. Xu only let me in alone. After receiving spiritual encouragement from Zheng Xinli, I stepped into the house.
After entering, the gate of the house was closed again, as if a pair of invisible hands had been guarding the door. At this time, my heartbeat accelerated a little involuntarily.I don't know what this Mr. Xu is up to, but he wants me to come in alone.
But although I had doubts in my heart, my worry about Bai Ling finally overcame everything. I walked quickly to the door of the house, pushed the door open, and suddenly a smell of medicinal herbs came to my nostrils.
The light inside was a bit dim, and there were various medicinal herbs scattered on the ground, as well as various species of snakes. They were lying lazily on the ground, as if they were at home.
From the outside, I thought this house had many rooms, but I didn't expect to find out after I entered that Old General Xu removed all the inner walls, and all the rooms were connected into a wide space.
There is only one chapter bed inside, and other places are placed with herbs or various instruments that I can't understand. Anyway, it is a huge space, which is extremely crowded by Mr. Xu, like a huge sundry average.
At this time, Mr. Xu was standing beside the only bed, and there was a table beside him. He was facing this table now, and he didn't know what he was doing on it.
"Boy, be careful, there is a strong evil spirit here!" Ma Zetian reminded.
I can feel the evil spirit, no need to look, the snakes on the ground are so hidden that I can hardly get off my feet, I take every step carefully, for fear of stepping on them, if one accidentally steps on these descendants of Xu Lao, say Elder Xu is not allowed to be unhappy and throw us out.
When I finally got to Elder Xu's side, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.When I took a closer look, Mr. Xu had now turned into a human form, wearing a flowered robe similar in color to his snake skin. He asked me without looking back: "This little fox, who snatched the inner alchemy for him?"
