"He's here, just that now... it's not convenient for him to meet people." I tried to tell Xiao Li the situation as gently as possible.
Xiao Li awkwardly covered her lips, "Did I interrupt your business, and he got hurt?"
"Hurt... hurt..." I squeezed these words out through my teeth, glaring at Xiao Li with veins popping on my forehead, "Chen! Xiao! Li!"
What on earth was she thinking about in that head of hers??
"I didn't mean to, it's just that there's an urgent matter..." Xiao Li said, resembling a frightened deer, looking down at her fingers.
In my entire life, I've never been so lost for words, "If you have something urgent, then spit it out!!"
"But if your husband is injured, I guess he won't be of much help anymore." Xiao Li muttered.
Beichen, covered in bloodstains, quickly walked over, "Did you notify the Snake Lord?"
At first glance, I thought Beichen was hurt, but a quick use of my Spiritual Eye made me realize the blood on him was demon blood.
"Not yet." Xiao Li scurried over and whispered into Beichen's ear, "I injured the Snake Lord; he may not be able to help."
Right now, I only have one vicious thought: to grab Xiao Li and lock her in the dark room.
If I can hear this volume, there's no need to try and cover it up, right!?
"You injured the Snake Lord? How is that even possible?" Beichen looked at Xiao Li in astonishment.
Xiao Li's freckled little face turned red with shame, "I just interrupted their, you know, couple's thing."
On Beichen's usually expressionless face, a stampede of emotions now ran wild, "..."
"Beichen, is someone hurt? The blood on you... looks like Snake Blood..." I have the Spiritual Eye; I was already certain it was Snake Blood.
But I thought it would be better to ask, to set a more relaxed tone.
Beichen turned serious in a second, "The blood on me is Yun Hao's."
"The righteous path can't tolerate him?" My first reaction was to think about Yun Hao's conflicts with the esteemed sects; with him in such a dire condition, it's as if the world can no longer accommodate his existence.
Beichen shook his head, "It was the Zhang Family who did this."
"It wasn't the direct line of Zhang Daoling, was it?" I realized the situation.
Because of me, Yun Hao had collided with a formidable force.
The Ancestor of Foxes once had a soul fragment, which I entrusted to someone from the Zhang Family. Find the newest release on ɴovelfire.net
Yu Longting had ordered Yun Hao to destroy this soul fragment...
Beichen was noncommittal, "Yun Hao has really kicked the iron board this time."
"How is his condition?" I asked.
Beichen said, "I've stabilized him using my Taoist Arts. But we need the Snake Lord to come over, otherwise he will have no choice but to disperse his power."
Hearing that Yun Hao was temporarily out of danger,
My mind eased up on the urgency.
"Hey, I want to ask you a question." I became sly.
Beichen looked at me strangely, his voice lowered, "What is it?"
"Does Yu Longting not let others see his true body?" I asked, feeling guilty as if I had done something wrong.
If Yu Longting allowed others to see his Snake Form, I would definitely take Beichen to see Yu Longting, to understand the situation.
But if Yu Longting minded, then that would be troublesome.
Beichen's expression cracked, and the corner of his mouth started twitching.
Beichen, who usually didn't mind Xiao Li's presence for anything, pulled me into my dorm room and even closed the door, "The Snake Lord has revealed his true form?"
"What are you two doing? Sneaking around!" Xiao Li, clueless, knocked on the door from outside.
But she quickly restrained herself and didn't continue to ask questions outside the door.
I nodded awkwardly, "Yes."
"..." Beichen was speechless for a long time, finally whispering softly, "The Snake Lord's body is not that weak; it can't be for the reason Xiao Li mentioned."
"He was injured by the Seal of the Lin Family." I told Beichen.
Beichen was bedridden due to a curse not long ago.
Beichen had no idea about Yu Longting breaking in and getting hurt.
Beichen's brows deeply furrowed, paused a moment, then said, "This is bad."
