At that time, the demon hadn't grown up yet.

The atmosphere in the house seemed to freeze in an instant. Qiao Zhen stared fixedly at the corpse on the ground, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

This well-behaved little guy who always follows him, so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed, has fallen to the ground at this moment, his eyes are still open, and there is a wound that is almost invisible to the naked eye on his slender neck. Constantly oozing blood.

The moment he opened the door and entered, besides Yan Xiaowu's body, Yan Jinlan was the only one left in the room. It was obvious who the murderer was.

Qiao Zhen walked over slowly, like a mechanical puppet.

He squatted down in front of Yan Xiaowu, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the little guy's eyes, closing those eyelids that refused to close.

After a long time, his eyes fell on Yan Jinlan's body. The cold gaze made Yan Jinlan retreat uncontrollably.

The already fair skin faded in an instant and became pale as paper. The red lips kept opening and closing, "It's not me, it's not me..."

"Ah Zheng, trust me! I didn't kill anyone."

Qiao Zhen clenched his fists tightly. He had never been so disappointed like this moment. Ever since he came to Yan Jinlan's side, he had told Yan Jinlan every day that he was not allowed to kill anyone, a hundred times if not a thousand times. Yan Jinlan usually Li Li is very well-behaved, always nodding in haste in response, repeatedly promising not to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

However, Yan Xiaowu is still just a child, what crime could he have committed, and he needs to pay the price of his life?

At this moment, Qiao Zhen felt a chill that he had never felt before. He seemed to have seen Yan Jinlan running towards the road leading to the big devil, and he couldn't catch up behind him.

If he had killed him heartlessly at the beginning, he would not have lost an innocent life in vain now.

"You didn't kill it. Could it be that Xiao Wu wanted to commit suicide to frame you?" His tone was as if he had been soaked in ice, with a thick chill.

Yan Jinlan squatted down helplessly, her body was huddled into a small ball, and she spat out from her red lips in a tone colder than Qiao Zhen——

"Ah Zheng, even if I killed Yan Xiaowu, so what, do you think you want to do something to me for this bastard who deserves to die?"

Qiao Zhen's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Yan Jinlan, who looked so well-behaved, would say such vicious words.

Yan Jinlan raised his neck suddenly, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Come on, avenge Yan Xiaowu! If you want to kill me, I will never fight back."

Qiao Zhen was really mad with anger. At this moment, he didn't have any thoughts in his mind. Holding the dagger in his sleeve, he strode towards Yan Jinlan, and then raised his arms high.

Yan Jinlan's slender eyelashes trembled uncontrollably - he was afraid!

It's just that his fear was so obvious, but he still didn't intend to back down or resist.

Half a month ago, Qiao Zhen couldn't let go of this face at all. Today, half a month later, he still couldn't let go of this face.

After a long time, he threw the dagger on the ground and cursed angrily, "Yan Jinlan, you are really hopeless."

Yan Yi, who was hiding in the dark, was completely relieved.

Yan Jinlan opened his eyes, stood up suddenly, and hugged Qiao Zhen tightly.

"You don't want to kill me, right? I knew that Ah Zheng didn't want to kill me." He said with a smile, his voice was full of joy, with a bit of joy that belongs only to children.

Qiao Zhen closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his usual indifference returned.

He took away the arms that were only wrapped around his waist, and said in a flat tone: "Jin Lan, you are right, I am reluctant to kill you, as long as you bear this face for a day, I will be reluctant to do so, but , I also said before, if you kill innocent people indiscriminately, I will leave you!"

"In this life... never see each other again!"

After he finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the dagger on the ground again, put it in his sleeve, and then strode outside.

This time, he really wanted to leave this magic palace paved with bones. If Yan Jinlan endangered the martial arts in the future, he would definitely not show mercy.

Yan Jinlan stared blankly at that figure, and kept repeating that sentence in her mind: Never see each other again, never see each other again...

Those black eyes turned red little by little, as if blood was about to flow out.

He sternly shouted: "Who allowed you to leave! Yan Yi, take him down for me!"

Yan Yi, who was hiding in the dark, immediately came out and stood in front of Qiao Zhen with a long sword in his hand.

The one in front of him should be the Guardian Zuo of the Devil's Palace, his skill is not inferior to him, if there is a fight, at most it will hurt both sides.After Qiao Zhen secretly analyzed it in her heart, she was a little startled. It is well known that Guardian Zuo is loyal. Since he can be used by Yan Jinlan, maybe Yan Jinlan has become Tiangangsha by now.

When there was a stalemate, Yan Jinlan came slowly and stood in front of him.

During the period of his retreat, Yan Jinlan's height has increased a lot, but he is still not as tall as him, but the aura exuding from his whole body makes people's hearts jump.

"From today onwards, without my permission, you will live in this yard, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. I will let someone guard you."

Qiao Zhen remained silent, but in fact, he was thinking in his heart that if he wanted to leave this magic palace, he could be sure of it.

Seeing that he was silent, Yan Jinlan's beautiful brows frowned into a knot again.

"Ah Zheng, I'm no longer the kid who was bullied by others, so you'd better not make me angry."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out of the yard.

Qiao Zhen looked at the straight and somewhat stubborn back, and suddenly raised her voice, "Yan Jinlan, you were bullied a lot in the past, but one time I did it? Don't you know how I treat you? Now that I'm being held back like this, my conscience really has been bitten by a dog."

That other shadow froze for a moment, and after a long time, Yan Jinlan said without looking back, "I just don't want you to leave, you promised me..."

The soft child's voice kept repeating the phrase "you promised me", and the voice gradually faded away.

Qiao Zhen stretched out his hand slowly and covered his chest.

For some reason, listening to Yan Jinlan's repetitions, he suddenly felt very sad, as if there was an inexplicable sadness in his heart, which almost drowned his whole body.

He looked not far away with a confused expression, and murmured in a low voice: "I promised you, but you also promised me not to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
