Do these two know each other?
The disciples looked left and right, from the smiling face of Xie Lige to the cold face of their sect leader.
When they took a closer look, they were all shocked.
Eh?
Their sect leader looked very angry.
Tong Baixiong looked at the roguish Xie Lige in admiration.
He, Lao Xiong, had dominated Black Wood Cliff for many years.
No one knew how much he had seen, but he had made their sect leader lose his usual composure.
This was the first time.
Admiration, admiration.
Xie Lige looked at his son's angry face happily.
As expected, life is only complete when you bully a child!
"Apis, don't be so cold. I was the one who picked you up from the pile of corpses. You called me father a few times!" Xie Lige's face was full of innocence.
His words were like hot water poured into a pot of oil.
It caused a huge wave.
The disciples looked at each other in confusion. They had never heard that their sect leader had a father.
His only master was the former sect leader. Besides, if he had such an awesome father,
Why was he bullied so badly when he was young?
According to seniority, what should they call this person?
Supreme Sect Master?
They kept feeling that something was wrong.
Even Tong Baixiong frowned. He didn't feel too good about it.
AFC Invincible was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Whenever he talked about this, he would get angry.
Back then, this old bastard picked him up.
He teased him like he was a pet.
He tricked him into calling him father.
The young and ignorant him really did call him that. When he was older, he knew that he was fooled by this person. He finally found time to escape on the road and avoided a disaster. Now, this guy really came looking for him.
"Scram!" A voice was squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth, and he spoke word by word.
"Huh?" Xie Lige raised his eyebrows.
He calmly patted the horse that was frightened by these words and comforted it. He ignored AFC Invincible's threats and looked at Tong Baixiong for a moment. Xie Lige said, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Tong Baixiong glanced at the furious Cult Leader with a troubled expression on his face.
Although Dongfang Bubai had an angry look on his face, there was a trace of panic in his eyes. Brother Lian was still in the school. Thinking of his old bastard's usual arrogant temperament, he didn't dare to let him in.
He gave Tong Baixiong a look.
Tong Baixiong understood and was about to refuse.
"Apis, you've grown up..."
A voice sounded faintly from behind Dongfang Bubai. The handsome general swept his gaze over the disciples in front of him as if he could see through their hearts. His tone was full of emotion.
Dongfang Bubai forced himself to keep up appearances and did not turn his head.
"Father, I haven't seen you for a long time. Is this your attitude?"
Xie Lige threw out a sentence and looked at AFC Invincible with his head lowered. He narrowed his eyes and suddenly changed the topic. "Or is there something shameful in this mountain?"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the sect members felt like a mountain was pressing on them. They had difficulty breathing, sweat poured down like rain, and their legs were weak. They wanted to kneel down immediately.
AFC Invincible also felt the pressure. He bit his lips and forced himself to say, "Nothing."
"Tsk!"
Xie Lige saw how stubborn he was, so he released the pressure on the crowd. He pointed to the sect member beside him and said, "You, come out."
"Huh??" The sect member immediately panicked. He did not understand why he was called out.
AFC Invincible was about to turn his head and threaten the other party not to talk nonsense. Suddenly, a big hand pressed down on his head. The faint sunlight mixed with the fragrance of grass. The familiar fragrance made his body stiffen and he did not dare to move.
In front of him was a hard armor and a big hand with distinct joints.
"Don't move."
A faint but unquestionable voice came from above his head.
AFC Invincible reflexively did not dare to move.
Xie Lige was very satisfied with his son's obedience. He looked down at the shivering sect members and squinted his eyes for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Lead the way, I want to go in and have a look!"
"No!" AFC Invincible said reflexively. He would not allow Brother Lian to have any mishaps.
Xie Lige strongly suppressed him and said casually, "If I want to go in, no one can stop me."
"You're hiding something from me," Xie Lige said firmly as he stared at AFC Invincible's eyes.
AFC Invincible was stuck. "I …" I'm not!
No matter what, he could not say this to this old bastard. With the other party's incomparably cunning intelligence, he only needed to look at him to know whether he was lying or not.
After a while, AFC Invincible sensibly chose to retreat.
"Go!" He closed his eyes and ordered the sect members to lead the way.
Xie Lige heard and immediately changed his expression. He patted his son with a smile as if he was patting a puppy. He said in a relaxed tone, "That's a good boy. Daddy likes obedient children the most."
His tone was casual, but the sect members did not dare to neglect.
From the pressure that was as heavy as Mount Tai, they understood that this seemingly casual, but actually temperamental old freak had directly suppressed their own Cult Leader. Their Cult Leader, who usually made people tremble in fear, was like a milky little cub in his hands, unable to move a single step. They understood.
They put away their arrogant attitude and were all very respectful. They wanted to kneel down and worship Xie Lige.
AFC Invincible's face was cold as it was the first time he saw his sect members flattering him.
Hmph!
Tong Baixiong smiled at his sect leader. He had no choice. If this person wanted to kill him, he could kill him with one finger. Who would want to live too long?
Then, he looked at Xie Lige with an even more flattering expression.
"Supreme Sect Master, this way please. Our sect is still at the top of the mountain."
When they reached the top of the mountain, Xie Lige looked at the surrounding buildings critically. According to the aesthetics of his previous life, this Black Wood Cliff was definitely not up to standard. It was too simple and crude.
However, this was still his child's painstaking effort.
Xie Lige thought about it and decided not to say anything.
Tong Baixiong talked with fervor and assurance on the side. He talked from the bottom all the way to the top, and from time to time, he would mention some of his own cult master's great achievements. For example, those famous righteous sects gritted their teeth when they heard about his cult master, or how the previous cult master was kicked down by his own cult master, or how their cult was a veritable devil cult.
As he spoke, Tong Baixiong felt that something was not right. After a while, he reacted and sucked in a breath of cold air. Oh my god, his words were praise to ordinary people, but not to parents and elders.
Tong Baixiong secretly glanced at Xie Lige, who was expressionlessly looking around. He was afraid that Xie Lige would kill him if he was unhappy.
"Well, what happened to those famous righteous sects?" Xie Lige was looking around. When he heard that Tong Baixiong had stopped talking, he turned his head and asked in confusion.
"Nothing happened. Everything is the same as before." AFC Invincible replied coldly.
Tong Baixiong nodded eagerly.
Xie Lige looked at his son thoughtfully and said, "Apis, aren't you a bit softhearted?"
Other than Hua Manlou, who was a little angel, the rest of his sons were all great devils. If they didn't provoke others, they would be thanking Buddha. Needless to say, if someone provoked them, they would die a horrible death.
He did not expect that his son in this life would be so obedient.
Xie Lige was full of smiles.
When the disciples heard this, they almost fell down. Their own sect leader?
Softhearted?
How could such beautiful words be associated with their sect leader? Was it just their imagination when they reported in front of the main hall in fear of being killed?
AFC Invincible was not moved. When he was young, he often heard Xie Lige talk about his great achievements. For example, he talked about how he killed all the sects. Compared to that, he was indeed softhearted. Besides, he was not a murderous person.
"What about you?"
AFC Invincible raised his head and looked at Xie Lige. He said in a serious tone, "What have you been doing all these years?"
"Nothing. It's just a few ordinary years!"
Xie Lige said lazily. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I met an interesting emperor. I did some work for him and took over his mess. This is the second time your father has done this."
"It's a bit annoying."
"Oh!"
"What about you?"
"What did you do after you ran away?" Xie Lige looked at AFC Invincible with a smile that was not a smile.
After the little kid ran away, he could still learn good martial arts. Now that he looked at the buildings on Black Wood Cliff, it seemed that he was doing well. The process must be very exciting.
What did he do?
AFC Invincible recalled the journey he had taken since he was young. He was cheated, bullied, and oppressed. Everything was too much to count. It was not that he did not want to go back, but he could not throw away his self-esteem. He gritted his teeth and persevered. He wanted to find Xie Lige after he had achieved success, but in the end, he was afraid of returning home.
"It's nothing. It's just a simple climb up. Aren't you always not interested in the stories of these kinds of people?" AFC Invincible was not willing to talk about his past, so he casually changed the topic.
His son had grown up, so it was not easy to fool him.
Xie Lige glanced at AFC Invincible with pity. He turned his head and looked at Tong Baixiong.
Tong Baixiong immediately became vigilant. His gaze made him panic. It was as if he had become a piece of pork waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board, allowing the other party to pick and choose.
He pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.
Xie Lige nodded affirmatively and said, "Tell me, how is Apis doing here?"
"Does he have someone he likes?
Or does he like to wear red clothes like before? "
Tong Baixiong was dazzled by the series of questions. He was almost dumbfounded.
"The most important thing is, did anyone bully him?" Xie Lige said slowly and gently. He lowered his head and began to pack his gloves calmly.
Tong Baixiong felt guilty when he heard this.
It was not because he was bullied, but because he remembered that there was a man hidden in his Bishop's room. It was a man who only had looks but no talent. Tong Baixiong did not think about it until he heard the other party ask if AFC Invincible had anyone he liked. His heart skipped a beat.
He could not help but show his guilty conscience on his face.
Who was Xie Lige? He glanced around and immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"What's going on?" He narrowed his eyes and questioned.
Suddenly, a surprised male voice came from not far away.
"Apis, you're back?"
Everyone looked over and saw a man in green standing in front of the house looking at them. His gaze was fixed on Dongfang Bubai who was beside him.
AFC Invincible did not expect Yang Lianting to come out so quickly. He panicked when he remembered how terrifying his father was and said, "Lianting, run!!"
Xie Lige narrowed his eyes when he heard the familiar name.
Apis?
