Although the person who came was wearing the clothes of the Dao Alliance, the current Huai Zhu did not dare to take the risk to trust others in the situation of the two sisters. Other than Lin Tian, there was no one else he could trust.
As if sensing Huai Zhu's wariness, the Taoist priests spoke to the two sisters with friendly smiles on their faces.
"There's no need to be nervous. The Dao Alliance already knows about the Divine Fire Manor. The patriarch of the Dongfang family has spent his entire life contributing to humanity's fight against the Demi-human race. There's no way he'll let this matter go!”
"That is why the Dao Alliance has issued orders today to investigate the culprit. At the same time, anyone who sees the two young ladies must be protected and brought to the Dao Alliance to ensure your safety.”
When Huai Zhu heard them mention his father, the divine light in his clear eyes dimmed slightly, but the vigilance on his face did not decrease in the slightest.
He pulled Qin Lan and took a step back as he spoke with a polite smile on his face.
"Huai Zhu is grateful for the Dao Alliance's good intentions, but please return. We do not wish to cause any trouble for the Dao Alliance. The murderer who murdered my father has been executed on the spot. Please tell the Dao Alliance that there is no need to worry about us.”
As he spoke, Huai Zhu prepared to pull Qin Lan back directly. He didn't even plan to buy the candied haws.
Seeing that the two sisters were about to leave, the smiles on the Taoist priests 'faces gradually darkened. They had thought that they were just two young ladies who had not experienced much in the world, but suddenly, their families were destroyed.
As long as they explained their intentions, they should be able to easily bring the two of them back. They did not expect this Dongfang Huaizhu to be so cautious.
However, on this busy street, the few of them did not plan to do anything out of line to avoid being gossiped about. They only whispered when the two sisters passed by each other.
"I advise the two young ladies to reconsider. After all, the current situation of the two of you is not optimistic…"
Huai Zhu's footsteps paused slightly. He did not say anything. He only tightened his grip on Qin Lan's hand and walked in the direction of the inn without looking back.
Seeing the two of them leave, one of the Taoist priests said with an unwilling expression.
"Are we really letting them go just like that?”
"Let them go? How is that possible?"
The Daoist priest in the lead narrowed his triangular eyes slightly. His eyes were suffused with a cold light as he spoke in a cold voice.
"Leave? If the news is true, as long as we take down these two sisters, any of us will have the chance to build the next Divine Fire Manor and become the next Wang Quan family!”
"How can I miss such an opportunity? If I miss it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!”
"There are too many people here, so it's not convenient to take action. Keep an eye on them for the next two days. We'll set up an inescapable net outside the city. As long as we leave the city, it'll be difficult for them to escape even if they have wings!”
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priests had lewd smiles on their faces as they looked at the backs of the two women with greed.
"Those hateful guys are so annoying that I couldn't even get a candied haws!”
Returning to the inn with Huai Zhu, Qin Lan's adorable face was currently filled with resentment. Her fair and tender hands continuously clenched into fists, and a ball of pure golden Yang flames burned fiercely in her palm, revealing the anger in the depths of her heart.
Huai Zhu sat at the table, his originally calm expression slightly sunken.
"It's only been a day. I didn't think that the news would spread so quickly. By now, everyone in the Dao Alliance probably knows about the destruction of the Divine Fire Manor and our existence.”
Qin Lan also lowered her head. The intelligent her naturally knew the seriousness of the matter. However, she, who had a more innocent personality, could not help but ask.
"Big sister, I have a feeling that the Dao Alliance isn't doing this for the sake of the Eastern Spiritual Race bloodline in us, right?”
Huai Zhu looked at Qin Lan's puzzled expression and stretched out his hand to gently stroke her face as he said bitterly.
"Perhaps. Perhaps the Dao Alliance truly has good intentions, but I can't take the risk. I don't dare to take the risk either. There are far too few people in the world who won't be tempted by the temptation of our Eastern Spiritual Race bloodline.”
"If we really do go to the Dao Alliance, as long as there's even the slightest chance, we'll be doomed beyond redemption.”
Qin Lan was silent. Everyone understood the principle of an innocent man being guilty of a treasure.
Moreover, the two sisters had almost no ability to protect themselves. Although the Demon Annihilating Divine Fire's pure Yang flames were extremely tyrannical, Huai Zhu was born with a gentle temperament and did not hesitate to fight.
Even when the elderly head had asked her to choose a magic tool, she had chosen the flute because it was beautiful. She had no experience in fighting people at all. She had the strength of a great demon king, but she did not know how to use it flexibly.
It was like a staggering child holding a divine weapon to fight against a strong adult. No matter how sharp the divine weapon in his hand was, it could not be used at all.
The atmosphere between the two sisters was a little heavy when they talked about this topic. Just a day ago, she was just a carefree young lady from a wealthy family. In the blink of an eye, she had become a fragrant cake that was coveted by others. The psychological difference was self-evident.
To be able to perform so well today, it could only be said that the elderly head of the Dongfang family had taught them well, and the two sisters were stronger than others.
Suddenly, Huai Zhu stood up gently and prepared to open the door and leave.
Qin Lan looked at Huai Zhu's actions and asked in confusion.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Huai Zhu turned around and revealed a gentle smile.
"I'm going to tell Lin Tian everything.”
