127 Brothers reunion. (2/2)
Before either of them got to say anything else, a light sigh sounded from right beside them, Zhao Feng shaking his head slightly while wrapping his arms around Li Yang's right arm, looking at him with sickeningly sweet eyes.
”I feel like I was forgotten pretty quickly, you're breaking my heart here Brother Yang.”
Li Yang placed his palm on Zhao Feng's face and pushed him away, eliciting a laugh from both Fang Ying and Zhao Feng. The tornadoes around them suddenly got fiercer again, azure bolts of lightning and crimson plumes of fire starting to mix with the wind. Zhao Feng looked at the tornadoes around them, shrugging his shoulders for a second before pointing at Li Yang and Fang Ying.
”Right, guess that's enough quipping for now, can't forget about the battle we're currently in. But mark my words, I'll have a properly emotional reunion once we've gotten through this chaos that the two of you have no doubt caused somehow.”
Zhao Feng seemed to be adamantly convinced that Li Yang and Fang Ying caused chaos wherever they went, Li Yang quickly renouncing his statement.
”We didn't start the chaos here, it was inevitable even if we didn't get involved.”
His words were actually true for once, Tian Zheng and the others would have attacked the hydra even if Li Yang and Fang Ying didn't show up here. But Zhao Feng simply rolled his eyes for a short moment before looking at the two of them, raising his eyebrows.
”Right, you also said that back when we were assaulted by the hordes of beasts inhabiting the Sun-Scorched Hills, but tell me, can you remember just why they came after us?”
Li Yang's prepared retort was quickly caught in his throat when he heard Zhao Feng's own response. He quickly let out a short cough before shaking his head, turning his head towards Fang Ying while acting innocent.
”Nope, got no clue. You remember, Ying'er?”
Fang Ying didn't seem to plan on betraying Li Yang this time, tilting her head slightly and placing her finger on her chin while playing along.
”No, it all seems too faint. Are we sure something like that ever even happened?”
With both of them playing dumb, it didn't matter even if Zhao Feng decided to dredge up everything that happened back then, he had no one here to back him up. As such, he instead chose to click his tongue, using his thumb to point over his shoulder.
”Tch, whatever, play dumb all you want. Our goal is to meet up with the other people present right? Even that Tian Zheng and Xiong Xieren? If I recall correctly, one was supposed to marry her and the other lusted after her, just how'd you get them to ignore all of that and team up with you?”
As he was the one in charge of all the spies of the Demon Race, Zhao Feng knew about most matters taking place within the larger clans, even something like Xiong Xierens lust was reported to him. Li Yang's lips curled into an arrogant smirk as he raised his head high.
”It's a long tale filled with battles and intrigue where I ended up matching them in a match of wits, I might tell you one day.”
Zhao Feng simply raised an eyebrow, his eyes turning towards Fang Ying, who quickly sold out Li Yang with a poorly subdued giggle.
”He puffed out his chest and spouted a bunch of threats until they realized that it would be too bothersome to fight him, at least that's the abridged version.”
She left out a lot of details and most of the process, but she wasn't entirely wrong, Zhao Feng quickly nodding his head with a smirk, patting Li Yang on the shoulder with a laugh.
”Now that sounds more like the Li Yang that I know.”
Li Yang's mouth opened and closed a few times as he looked at Fang Ying, who had once again betrayed him. Eventually, he just lowered his shoulders and let out a deep sigh, turning in the direction of the distant hydra, waving his hand at the fierce tornadoes all around them.
”Et Tu, Brute? Whatever, just open the damn path.”
