728 The Game of Cat and Mouse (1/2)
Dead Face had always been slow to walk, but his footsteps at this point were so fast to Shu Si's ear.
One step, two steps... it was as if in a flash, Dead Face went from the spacious courtyard gate to the door of his bedroom.
And each step meant the abyss was getting closer.
Shu Si was so anxious that he wished he could blow up his little soul to warn him not to come near. However, at this time, he couldn't do anything but watch everything unfold.
However, Dead Face's footsteps stopped right at the door. The cold voice then came through the door, but it warmed Shu Si's heart.
”I asked you to visit Luo Xiao for cooperation, did you do it?”
The tone was as cold as ever, but Shu Si vowed that he had never looked forward to the cold treatment of Dead Face.
'Get out of here! Don't come in!'
However, it was clear that his puppet would not give up so easily.
”Luo Xiao said that he would think about it carefully, so I came back in advance to celebrate it. Who knew that when I was in high mood, there was something wrong with my training…? Dead Face, don't just stand there at the door, come in quickly and help me!”
This puppet perfectly mimicked him, Shu Si seemed to have heard of himself talking!
Fortunately, Dead Face didn't disappoint him.
”What kind of skill were you practicing? How could you be paralyzed and unable to move?”
The puppet replied, ”What else could it be? Of course, it's the Secret of The Ice Heart that you pass on to me…”
”Secret of the Ice Heart? Where… did you know this name?” Outside the room, Dead Face's voice became colder and colder, it even caused the little primordial spirit of Shu Si to tremble slightly.
'Yes, I have never trained the Secret of The Ice Heart. Dead Face only taught me the Jade Bone Technique.'
However, Luo Xiao designed this trap to kill his opponent. It was highly likely that he had already investigated Shu Si thoroughly. So, how could he make a mistake about the skill that Shu Si trained?
Then, who was wrong here?
At the same time, when the puppet's controller heard the words, he was stunned for a moment, and then explained through the mouth of the puppet, ”Of course, it was said by others. The Secret of The Ice Heart is a good name, but you changed its name to Jade Bone Technique. When I compete with my friends, they could see in a glance that it is The Secret of The Ice Heart…”
Dead Face coldly interrupted from outside the door, ”You don't like to train, so how could any of your friends compete with you?”
The puppet looked ashamed and angry as he said, ”Stop trying to expose me okay? I was told by an expert okay? If you have time to criticize me outside, why don't you come in and help me? In case there's a repercussion, you as my Master will lose your face!”
These words were just the words that the real Shu Si would've said.
However, Dead Face clearly knew that, and he still stood outside the door, asking, ”Which expert intervened in this kind of other people's business?”
”It's Luo Xiao! I had a good agreement with him, and he advised me about my training. If you are still trying to talk so much nonsense, then I think you're just trying to make me feel bad!”
Dead Face sneered at the door, ”You had a good agreement with Luo Xiao? He has kept you out of the door the other day. What could you do to make him suddenly warm to you?”
”With a will, you can achieve anything, okay?! I am the leader of the Qing Feng enterprise, yet I visited him like a dog every day. He must've affected by my sincerity, so he let me in… Are you done, Dead Face?”
”Oh, hahaha!”
Just when the puppet began to get angry, Dead Face suddenly burst out laughing outside the door.
This was the first time for Shu Si to hear Dead Face laugh.
Before this, he had always thought that Dead Face did not have any human feelings at all. However, hearing the wild laughter, he suddenly realized that underneath his dead face lied a fiery-like passion.
”Luo Xiao, enough with this puppet show! Not only you've killed my disciple and rob him of his soul, you even dare to set up an ambush in my house with killing array. Do you take me for a wood carving or a clay doll?”
While he was talking, a heat wave suddenly came from outside the house, like a volcanic eruption. The walls, doors, and windows were instantly melted, exposing a sea of fire in the courtyard.
Dead Face was in the middle of the courtyard. Every pore of his body sprayed out flames of fire. His thick Daoist robe was burned by the fire, revealing the golden bright and dazzling vest. The whole person was shining like a golden lotus bathing in a sea of fire.
