Patriarch Tao's cold question made Tao Qi turn red. However, Patriarch Tao didn't even look at Tao Qi. He chose a seat and sat down casually. The other Tao patriarchs followed suit and took their seats.
Tao Qi stood alone in the center, facing a dilemma.
Tao Qi closed her eyes and suppressed her grievance. Today, he cannot imitate those elders and act as a hands-off shopkeeper. After all, he once accepted the immortal in person.
"Go back to Tao Xianzun, your father and brother are being imprisoned in the dungeon because they made a big mistake."
Taoyao nodded and asked again: "May I ask Elder Tao Qi, what mistake did they make?"
"Ha." An elder, who crossed his legs like a street gangster, arched his nose and snorted, "What crime did they commit? Why do some people ask questions knowingly?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several Tao family elders burst into laughter.
Tao Yao raised her hand, grabbed Lu Li's sword, and knocked hard on the Tao family's floor tiles. After three times, the bricks cracked. The Tao family members' smiles suddenly dropped and they stared at Tao Yao in disbelief.
She doesn't have the ability to hit people, how can she still hit bricks?!
Tao Yao sneered: "Who has the patience to ask you questions knowingly? If I say I don't know, then I don't know. If Tao's family can't tell me that he is ugly and ugly, he will be released immediately!"
She has a bad temper to begin with, but it rarely shows up. She has always had a bad temper because of her lack of confidence, but there is no need for her to wrong herself against these Tao family members who are obviously soft and hard-edged.
If she was afraid that she would lose her temper, she would immediately ask someone to pull her down from the high chair.
The cross-legged elder jumped up in confusion: "Peach Immortal Lord has such a big temper!"
"Absolute praise."
"..." Seeing that this man was getting angry, Elder Tao Qi rushed forward, "Second brother, calm down, calm down."
"snort."
"Second brother please sit down and take care of yourself. Why don't you leave the matters here to me?"
Tao Er looked at Tao Qi coldly: "Old Qi, it's not a problem to leave it to you, but you'd better remember that your surname must be Tao from the Tao family, not Kunlun Mountain."
"Yes Yes Yes."
After Tao Er sat down, Tao Qi smiled and handed over to Tao Yao: "Tao Xianzun asked the Tao family to release the person, so the Tao family shouldn't let him go. However, the Tao family is a big family. If someone makes a mistake, there will be someone there.
If you can let go by interceding, how can the Tao family still stand in the world?"
As expected, he is a rare smart man. He always retreats to advance and plays tricks.
"Then what does the seventh elder Yitao mean?"
"Tao Xianzun, Taoism is a state-owned law, and families have family rules. As long as the Tao family can prove that they are right, the Tao family will release them immediately. There is no false promise."
Tao Yao smiled half-heartedly, neither saying yes nor saying no. After all, Tao Qi hadn't finished speaking yet.
Tao Qi didn't care whether Tao Yao said anything, he took matters into his own hands and continued: "But if Tao Xianzun cannot exonerate them, then please forgive the Tao family for insisting on not letting them go."
"I can't prove it. I can only say that they are innocent."
"..."
Tao Er, who was about to sit down, jumped up angrily again: "Tao Immortal, you must be wrong, the reason why they were put in the dungeon is because you broke into the Tao family's forbidden area and stole the Tao family's forbidden items!
Since the Tao Immortal Lord wants the Tao family to release the people, then just surrender and go into the dungeon voluntarily, so as not to have your mother and brother suffer on your behalf!"
Tao Yao slowly shook his head and gave only four words: "Zi is nothing."
"You -" Tao Er angrily crushed two bricks with his foot, "Tao Immortal Lord, the Tao family said that you broke into the forbidden area without permission because of all the witnesses and material evidence. There is no slander or frame-up. Even your father admitted it.
You have traveled to forbidden lands many times."
The floor tiles were trampled to pieces, which she felt was good, but there was no proof whether her father had really admitted that she loved to run into forbidden areas.
"Peach--"
Beside her, her brother Erhan looked anxious and quickly jumped out to refute: "Elder Tao Er, even if Xiao Yao'er often goes to forbidden areas, it can't prove that she stole Tao family's forbidden items."
Well, death without proof has become exposed in court. If Taoyao had tape in her hand at this moment, she would have sealed Brother Erhan's mouth without hesitation.
At this time, Tao Qi smiled slightly: "Tao Xianzun has been in and out of the forbidden area many times, it's best if Erlang admits it."
"..."
Tao Qi said again: "The loss of forbidden items is a serious matter. The Tao family must find out the reason and recover the forbidden items. However, Tao Xianzun's parents and brother maliciously obstructed it, which forced the Tao family to
This was the last resort, and the person was temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon."
"That's nonsense!" The second brother of the Tao family raised his hand angrily, "Elder Tao Qi, why are you talking nonsense? Did my father die because he prevented you from finding out the truth?
The Tao family suspected that Yao'er had stolen forbidden items, but not only did my father not stop him, but he also asked the clan leader to give him a few days' grace until he could personally recover Yao'er and speak to the clan leader properly."
The silent Tao clan chief suddenly glared sharply, raised his hand and smashed a chair: "Erlang, the person who enters Kunlun Wonderland and worships under the Immortal Sect on Jingshang is your sister, not you. Since you are still a member of the Tao family,
You should abide by the rules of the Tao family and know your superiority and inferiority, otherwise, I will immediately order you to be imprisoned in the dungeon!"
"..."
The leader of the Tao family seemed to have murderous intentions towards the second brother of the Tao family, but she, the stupid second brother, did not notice the murderous intentions of the Tao family, and raised her arms to continue talking.
Tao Yao stretched out her hand hurriedly and held down the second brother of the Tao family: "Second brother, please be patient."
The second brother of the Tao family refused to listen and pushed Tao Yao away. He was jealous of the Tao family and had a thick nose. Tao Yao quickly grabbed the second brother of the Tao family by his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, Master said, let me
I'll talk nicely."
"Huh?" The second brother of the Tao family turned back angrily and screamed at Taoyao: "Talk nicely? Do you think they want to talk to you nicely? If they are willing, how can daddy die? What about grandma?
He was beaten half to death? Why is the eldest brother still locked up in the dungeon?
Taoyao, my mother-in-law and my eldest brother are suffering, how can you still have time to slowly break up with Tao's family? Or do you not care at all whether they live or die?!"
If she didn't care, why would she risk her life to come down the mountain to Tao's house? Is she really impatient?
Tao Yao's hand didn't loosen, but her face couldn't help but become gloomy.
Yes, she is living in the present by borrowing Taoyao's shell, and she should clean up the mess she made. Although she is unwilling to take care of it, she has no intention of just dealing with it.
It's a pity that her sincerity is nothing in the eyes of the second brother of the Tao family, so he was yelling at her in Tumi Palace in Kunlun, and now he is yelling again in the main hall of the Tao family!
Why does it mean to him that she is very free and likes to chat with others when she has nothing to do? Even if she is very free, she cannot find a like-minded person to chat with, so she has to talk to a bunch of hypocrites from the Tao family?
If she didn't want to save people, why would she have to put in more effort? In the end, many of her considerations were all wrong in the eyes of the fool.
If she takes a step back and imitates the second brother of the Tao family, can she force the Tao family to release her?
How naive does her second brother have to be to think that just by relying on her and Lu Li, he can scare the Tao family and immediately hand over Tao Yao's mother and brother?
It's a pity that the second brother of the Tao family saw Tao Yao's face darken, and said with even more heartbreak: "Taoyao, you have been mischievous since you were a child, and you have caused so many troubles, but my father and mother never scold you, and they always protect you."
Looking at you, have you forgotten all this?"
Taoyao frowned: "Second brother, don't make others laugh!"
"Don't call me!" The second brother of the Tao family rolled his sleeves in disgust, "I think you forgot about your roots after you got to Kunlun!"
"..."
At this time, Patriarch Tao and the elders sitting under the main hall slightly curled their lips, looking in great spirits.
Don't they want to be in a good mood? Without them having to say anything, the second brother of the Tao family made a knife against her. If she were a member of the Tao family, she would die laughing!
I saw the second brother of the Tao family stretching out his index finger without thinking of his own strength, poking at all the Tao family members without fear of death and shouting: "Taoyao, if you still recognize me as your second brother, grandma and eldest brother, then save them immediately."
Come out, if you don’t save me, then I will save you myself!”
With that said, the second brother of the Tao family rushed down the steps.
Tao Yao stood up suddenly and without saying a word, kicked the Tao family's second brother down the steps and said urgently to Lu Li: "Junior brother Lu, knock him out!"
"Eh? Oh." Lu Li jumped down the steps, raised his hand to hit the second brother of the Tao family who was struggling to get up after being knocked down, and slapped him back with a palm.
The person was fainted, but Lu Li was not sure how to deal with it, so he raised his eyes to look at Taoyao.
"Second brother hasn't been back to Tao's house for a long time. I think he is very homesick. Junior brother Lu might as well call out the white tiger and ask Xiaobai to take second brother for a couple of laps on the lake to calm his homesickness."
Lu Li's eyebrows twitched: "Senior Sister Tao, he fainted."
“Nostalgia can make you fall asleep.”
Lu Li said nothing more, flicked his sleeves, and the white tiger jumped out. It opened its mouth, picked up the unconscious second brother of the Tao family, and flew out of the main hall of the Tao family without looking back.
Then, Lu Li turned around and walked up the steps, returning to stand behind Tao Yao.
Taoyao also sat back.
In the second round of the fight, she was defeated thanks to the second brother of the Tao family.
But after all this trouble, Tao Yao was not without gains. At least she clearly understood that it was very difficult to silence the Tao family on the road of righteousness.
Because Tao Er made it clear that the Tao family’s treatment of Tao Yao’s family was complete with both human and material evidence.
Although the so-called complete collection of personal and material evidence is mostly fake stuff made by Tao's family, if she can't overturn these fake stuff, she won't be able to win rationally.
Reasoning is her only choice to break the situation because she is too weak.
If you lose, you lose. Just get back together. After all, failure is the mother of success.
"Elder Tao Qi, my father is dead?"
"Isn't he just dead?" Tao Qi pretended to be sad and sighed, "He was a young and promising head of the family, but because he didn't know how to teach his son, he lost his life in vain."
Tao Yao couldn't help but curl her lips and laughed.
She was not happy, but she felt that the Tao family was interesting. Tao Qi was obviously very smart, but she couldn't understand it from the elders above. She didn't know if he was lonely or not?
"Elder Tao Qi, when you say you have no way to teach your son, you just mean that I may have stolen the Tao family's forbidden items, right or wrong?"
"It's fine if Peach Immortal Lord accepts you."
Are you eager to convict her?
"Then if I am willing to return the Tao family's forbidden items, can the Tao family spare my mother and brother?"
"...Eh?" Tao Qi was shocked. He had never expected Taoyao to say that, so he quietly squinted at Patriarch Tao, but Patriarch Tao frowned, as if he was asleep.
Whether the Tao family really wants to retrieve the forbidden object is still unknown, but there is no doubt that the Tao family wants to kill Taoyao's family. In other words, if the forbidden object is still in her hands, the Tao family can get it back even if she dies.
This should be the original plan of the Tao family.
However, she became a disciple of the Immortal.
Tao Qi, who couldn't get instructions from Chief Tao, had no choice but to ask Tao Yao: "Peach Immortal Lord is willing to return the forbidden objects?"
"Hahaha..." Tao Yao looked up to the sky and laughed, "Elder Tao Qi, I don't bother to do such sneaky things. The forbidden items are not here with me."
Bang - Tao Eryi accidentally stepped on another brick. When today's conversation is over, will the majestic main hall of the Tao family become bumpy? This chapter has been completed!
