Afc Invincible was speechless.
However, the sense of security with an elder by his side was too strong.
He didn't even realize that his attitude had changed a lot.
From the little hedgehog that originally raised his back thorns to reveal his soft heart.
He even slowly closed his eyes beside Xie Lige and began to sink into sleep.
Xie Lige felt his son curled into a ball beside him and let out a gentle breath.
He glanced at him and found that his eyes were tightly shut. Obviously, he had fallen asleep.
Yang Lianting on the opposite side had been looking over here. His gaze almost never left Afc Invincible's figure.
He watched without blinking.
Suddenly, he felt a trace of coldness.
As soon as he raised his head, he met his father-in-law.
His father-in-law looked at him.
Their gazes met in mid-air. Not long after, the two of them looked at each other.
His father-in-law slowly pulled the corners of his mouth open.
He revealed his snow-white teeth that flashed with cold light.
Yang Lianting's back immediately shivered.
Xie Lige picked up his son first.
He bypassed the obstacles in front of him.
When he passed by Yang Lianting, he said lightly, "Lead the way." Since his son always called him Brother Lian, the two of them probably lived together.
Yang Lianting looked worriedly at Afc Invincible in his arms.
He was careful not to make a sound and nodded.
He brought Xie Lige to the small wooden house that they often lived in.
"The place where Apis and I live." Yang Lianting opened the door.
He explained as he opened the door.
Xie Lige followed behind and looked around.
The small wooden house was located on the edge of the Black Wood Cliff.
The environment was quiet and secluded.
Flowers and plants surrounded the house. He even saw a lot of red flowers. He thought of the red clothes that his son wore when he came down. He guessed that the flowers were planted by him.
Yang Lianting pushed the door open and then went to the side to let Xie Lige in.
Xie Lige put his son on the big carved bed in the middle of the room and covered him with a quilt. He touched the quilt and felt that the quilt was very delicate. He lowered his head to take a look.
"This was embroidered by Apis!" Yang Lianting said proudly, his eyes showing the pride of a husband towards his wife's skillful hands.
Perhaps the two of them did not conform to the secular world in the eyes of outsiders.
It could be said to be an unorthodox path.
However, in Yang Lianting's heart, they were just an ordinary couple. He was the husband, and Apis was the wife. The two of them lived a life of plowing and weaving in the wooden house.
When Xie Lige heard that, she looked down at the sleeping Afc Invincible. It was hard to connect the gentle wife in Yang Lianting's words with the delicate little boy in her memory.
He sighed and covered the corner of the quilt.
This child had suffered for so many years. He carried him for so long, but he did not feel anything. He was still sleeping soundly. Presumably, he did not dare to sleep normally. To be honest, when Xie Lige heard Yang Lianting say that his son thought of him as his wife, his heart thumped and suddenly sank.
His son was different from him when he became the Palace Master of Lian Xing.
Afc Invincible truly thought of himself as a woman, and he even envied women. This was a very important point. When Xie Lige became the Palace Master of Lian Xing, he mixed with women all day long, but he did not think of himself as a woman. He was just completing a mission. He wore women's clothes because he liked to see other people's expressions when they collapsed.
At this moment, Xie Lige felt that it was a thorny problem.
But he could not throw away this responsibility. This was his son. If he did not do it, who would?
Xie Lige helplessly touched his nose and decided not to disturb his son's sleep for the time being. He stood up and walked out of the door. When he passed by Yang Lianting, he turned his head and said, "Come out for a while."
Then he pushed the door and went out.
Yang Lianting, who was notified, had a bad premonition. His heart was filled with nervousness. He was afraid that his father-in-law would tear him apart because he was not satisfied with him.
But he did not dare to not go. He still wanted to be with Apis.
Yang Lianting reluctantly moved his gaze away from Afc Invincible. He took a deep breath and adjusted his nervous mood. He opened the door and went out.
Then he saw the white-haired general leaning against the tree root.
The white-haired general had his eyes closed. He did not know what he was thinking. When he came out, he opened his eyes and looked at the front of the wooden house.
"You came out?"
"Yes."
Yang Lianting nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry too much. I won't eat you."
Xie Lige sneered at Yang Lianting. Then he unceremoniously mocked, "I don't want to see my son go crazy when he wakes up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lianting smiled embarrassedly.
Xie Lige rolled his eyes and pointed at the stone bench across from him. He said lazily, "Sit down first. Let's talk slowly."
"You must know who I am."
"If you don't know, you can ask Tong Baixiong."
Xie Lige briefly introduced himself. He saw Yang Lianting shake his head in confusion. He was silent. Then he clicked his tongue and told this guy to find Tong Baixiong himself. He was not a kindergarten teacher.
Xie Lige had always been impatient with people who were not his son.
Yang Lianting obediently sat on the stone bench and nodded. His hands and feet were on the ground. He sat like a primary school student. He was obviously an adult, but his eyes were still clear.
Xie Lige, who had completely entered his mother-in-law's picky mode, frowned. He looked down at Yang Lianting, who was sitting obediently. He was not satisfied with this man from head to toe.
"Name, age, status, property, marriage, any elders in your family?"
Xie Lige opened his eyes and asked a bunch of questions. Yang Lianting was stupefied. His mind was blank. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and replied with fear and trepidation, "Yang Lianting is Yang Lianting.
"Her name is Yang Lianling. She is three years younger than Ah Bei. She is a hall master of the Sun Moon Divine Sect. She only has a few acres of land that she personally mined. She has never married and both her parents are dead."
"Apis is my first wife."
"You don't even have a house?"
Yang Lianting nodded guiltily. He realized how useless he was.
Xie Lige was very dissatisfied. He directly said, "Are you going to let my son support you?
Yang Lianting was stunned.
Xie Lige held his chin and sized up Yang Lianting. He did not understand what was so attractive about this man.
Just as he was sizing him up, Yang Lianting finally mustered up his courage and stammered, "I-I-I will work harder to farm and support Apis."
His meaning was to make Yang Lianting work hard to earn money. Xie Lige did not understand how Yang Lianting's brain was wired to work hard to farm. He was speechless. He did not know what to do with Yang Lianting.
He could not hit him.
He was afraid that he could strangle this guy to death before he even used his strength.
Yang Lianting could not tell that he was being sarcastic. He thought that Xie Lige was encouraging him. This child's mind was probably only filled with his wife, Apis, and farming to support her.
For some reason, Xie Lige felt that these two young people were a good match.
The angle of the conversation became more and more strange. Xie Lige finally chose to give up on continuing the conversation with Yang Lianting. He decided to move on to the next step of his plan.
His son was always bullied when he was young. No one listened to his complaints. Now that his father was here, Xie Lige felt that he should seek justice for his son.
"Go and inform the leaders of the Sun Moon Cult to gather at Black Wood Cliff. I want to learn more about Apis's past." Xie Lige had Yang Lianting inform the leaders of the Sun Moon Cult to gather at Black Wood Cliff.
Yang Lianting nodded and left.
Then, without stopping, he went to the rooms of the hall masters of the Sun Moon Cult and started kicking the doors. When he saw the angry eyes of those who opened the door, he quickly explained his purpose. "Apis's father has come to the cult. He wants to see everyone. Prepare to meet at Black Wood Cliff."
After that, he turned around and left.
The leader next to the door stared at his back dumbfoundedly. He had just crawled out of bed when the cold wind blew and completely woke him up. He recalled what Yang Lianting had just said. Apis?
Who was Apis calling? It took him a few seconds to realize that he was calling their cult master.
Their cult master's father? Wait, isn't that the Supreme Sect Master?
The leader recalled the scene when he met the famous General Xie at the bottom of Black Wood Cliff and couldn't help but shiver. He went back to clean himself up with a sullen face.
It was the same for Tong Baixiong.
When he heard Yang Lianting's words, he almost thought that he had misheard.
"Yang Lianting, say it again. Who's looking for us?"
Tong Baixiong confirmed again.
Yang Lianting, who was about to leave, had no choice but to withdraw his foot and break the leader's futile struggle.
"Apis's father wants to see you."
Tong Baixiong: "..."
He was probably going to die at Black Wood Cliff today.
"Did you hear correctly?"
"No, the meeting is at the edge of Black Wood Cliff. Remember to show up on time."
Yang Lianting quickly finished speaking and was about to leave when he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. He turned around and saw Tong Baixiong furrowing his burly face and secretly asking for information.
"Did the Supreme Sect Master say what he wanted to ask?"
Yang Lianting paused and recalled the man's words. He said hesitantly, "He probably wants to know about the Apis's past.
Since I came to the Sun Moon Cult later, I don't know much about it. He probably wants to find trouble with his old enemy. "
Finished speaking, he patted his butt and left.
Tong Baixiong froze when he heard this.
Because he'd suddenly realized something. There was probably only a single reason why the Sovereign Sect's Master had chosen to meet at the edge of Blackwood Cliff and not anywhere else in the Sun Moon Sect.
The person who answered the question successfully could stay.
If the answer wasn't satisfactory, the person would be kicked off the cliff.
When he thought of this terrifying possibility, Tong Baixiong's heart collapsed even more. For the first time, he hated his rich imagination so much. As the person who brought Afc Invincible into the Sun Moon Cult and recommended him to Ren We Bank, he felt that he was number two on the list of people the Supreme Sect Master wanted to kick to death.
Number one was probably that stupid Yang Lianting who seduced his son.
When he arrived at Black Wood Cliff, he quietly let out a sigh of relief. Basically, everyone with a bit of status in the Sun Moon Cult had been notified. Everyone looked at their old acquaintances and stared at each other. They clearly wanted to say, "Why are you looking at me? I'm looking at you!"
If it was any other time, they would've already started fighting. Maybe it was because the Supreme Sect Master was too powerful, but everyone was very obedient and only communicated with their eyes.
When they saw Tong Baixiong walk over, everyone looked at him.
Their gazes were full of sympathy.
