Chapter 31 (2/2)

Teacher Duan Lan recovered from the dizziness caused by the impact very quickly. She extended her palm out and slapped heavily onto the burning ground. Immediately, a gorgeous streak of water rippled out from her palm!

Countless water beads sprayed out, flying toward the rising wall of fire. The water ripples were stronger than the flames, quickly extinguishing the flames wherever they swept.

“Ao…!!”

At the same time, the area where the water spread seemed to be connected to a certain mysterious deep pool, the pattern of a spirit domain clearly depicted in the form of water ripples. Her Deep River Dragon flew out from the ripple imprint. The scorching air in the surrounding was extinguished by the dragon’s breath, becoming much cooler.

Zhu Minglang and little Baiqi were fine, too. They didn’t sustain any injuries.

Zhu Minglang looked closely at the arrogant fire dragon, his brow knitted.

-Why is it him? A Gilded Fire Dragon!!-

“So Little Brother Zhu is here, too. Today is really a great day!” As expected, Luo Xiao’s voice was heard from above the Gilded Fire Dragon.

Ke Bei looked at Zhu Minglang, asking, “Who is he?”

“Gilded Fire Dragon, Luo Xiao. He should be stationed at East Dawn Stronghold,” Teacher Duan Lan interjected.

Zhu Minglang nodded.

“Since you’re the commander of the stronghold, why aren’t you going to report the war situation, and are trying to hurt others?” Ke Bei demanded angrily.

“Hahahaha, why do you think the reports are delayed? I killed every messenger; naturally, and that includes you nosy people!” Luo Xiao’s pale face showed sickening cruelty.

The psychopath had finally shown his true self!

“You… you traitor! Why are you helping the Wutu rebel army?” Ke Bei demanded, pointing at Luo Xiao.

“Why? You’re asking me why?” Luo Xiao’s face appeared savage.

He was crazy to an extent to begin with. After seeing Zhu Minglang, he seemed to have slipped into a hopeless state!

Zhu Minglang was similarly confused.

If Luo Xiao knew about the matter between him and Li Yunzi, then he should have come to him directly to take revenge. There was no need to kill the messengers and allow the eastern territory of Ancestral Dragon City State to fall into a crisis…

-Did something happen in the Li Clan?

-To make Luo Xiao so crazy to the extent that he would betray the clan… A certain obsession of his must have been thoroughly stifled!-

“I worked for the Li Clan to my bones, and yet they view me as a dog that shouldn’t bark unnecessarily. This whipping… I’ll make the entire Li Clan regret treating me this way!” Luo Xiao removed his hood, revealing his face.

A heavy whip mark streaked across his cheek, passing through his ear, all the way to the back of his head. The ruptured flesh on his cheek had yet to heal. New blood stains and the freshly solidified scabs were mixed together. One could imagine how heavy this lash of the whip was!

This whipping was the doing of Li Clan’s patriarch, Li Ying!

After the meeting ended the other day, Luo Xiao pleaded with Patriarch Li to reconsider Li Yunzi’s marriage, and also expressed his love for the patriarch’s daughter.

However, Li Ying responded with this whipping!

“Even if her reputation is ruined, she’s the Eldest Young Miss of Li Clan. Who do you think you are? Don’t harbor any delusions, and don’t forget your status. This whip is to remind you. If you ever question our decisions in the Affairs Hall again, I’ll have you pack your things and leave the Li Clan.”

Over the past few days, Li Ying’s words kept repeating in his mind, tormenting him and nearly making him go crazy!
