The boy felt that someone was coming. When he turned around and found that the person was Tang Zixuan, he was stunned for half a second, and then immediately put on a smile that was so sweet that it melted people's hearts.
"Young Master!" The boy waggled his tail and ran towards Tang Zixuan in a hurry.
Tang Zixuan suddenly realized and took two steps back. The long sword was lying in front of him, and he would point the tip of the sword at the boy at any time. He shouted sternly: "Stop!"
The little boy's pupils shrank, his two furry ears drooped down, and his mouth pursed as if he was about to cry, but he still stayed in place obediently.
"Monster clan?" Tang Zixuan raised his eyebrows.
The boy nodded, grabbing the corners of his clothes uneasily with both hands.
Gu Wenyu's heart almost turned to cuteness because of the child. With watery eyes, he looked at Tang Zixuan aggrievedly. The pair of big drooping ears made him even more cute, plus the figure behind him
A fluffy tail, very much like a little fox coming out of an animation.
Although Xiaotian saw the demon clan for the first time, he was not afraid. Like Gu Wenyu, he thought the child was too cute. If he begged on the street, many people would give him money.
But Tang Zixuan's expression remained unchanged, not being deceived by the little guy's appearance at all. He looked at the man in black robe who fell on the ground, then looked at the little boy, and still asked indifferently: "Did you kill him?"
The boy nodded immediately after hearing this. At the same time, a proud expression appeared on his face, and he said as if asking for credit: "This man wanted to ambush the young master, so Honghong killed him."
Tang Zixuan looked the little boy up and down. He didn't remember that he knew the monster in front of him at all.
"Do you know me?" Tang Zixuan asked again.
The little boy nodded again, "We know each other, you are the young master, and Honghong is here to protect the young master."
As he said that, the boy unconsciously wanted to move forward, but Tang Zixuan sternly stopped him, "Stop!"
Tang Zixuan seemed to be in a bad mood, looking at the boy with a livid face. The boy was so frightened that he was nailed to the spot again, and the foot he had just raised had to be taken back.
"Young Master..." the little boy shouted in aggrieved tone.
"I don't know you. Since you are still young, I won't embarrass you. You can go." Tang Zixuan didn't want to say more to the boy. The Tang family had been demon slayers for generations and they didn't even bother to associate with the demon clan.
If it weren't for the fact that the boy really helped him, he might have taken action.
In any case, the man in black robe who fell on the ground was indeed a pursuer sent by the Tang family. No matter what the boy's purpose was, he was helping him anyway.
The boy heard this but had no intention of leaving at all, "But Honghong is here to protect the young master."
"You have recognized the wrong person. I am a descendant of the Tang family." Tang Zixuan didn't look very good.
"But the Tang family only wants your life." Honghong became angry when she said this.
Tang Zixuan lowered his eyes and his long eyelashes trembled slightly. Honghong's words obviously touched him.
"It's none of your business! If you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action." When Tang Zixuan looked directly at Honghong again, his eyes became even deeper and more dangerous.
Honghong was so frightened that she took two steps back, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something, "No, no, I have something. Once you see it, you will know that I really don't mean any harm."
With that said, Honghong stretched out her hand to pull the red rope around her neck, and then pulled out half a piece of jade pendant from her clothes, "Look, this is your mother's thing. I didn't lie to you."
Tang Zixuan's eyes widened. Of course he recognized that jade pendant. There was an identical jade pendant hanging around his neck.
After a long silence, Tang Zixuan finally spoke, but his voice was slightly hoarse and trembling. He asked uncertainly: "Do you know my mother?"
Honghong nodded again. He held the jade pendant tightly, but his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was recalling something that happened a long time ago.
Tang Zixuan put down the sword in his hand. After seeing his mother's jade pendant, he finally believed in Honghong. But at the same time, he was also caught up in his own emotions. He was abandoned by his mother since he was a child. As an illegitimate son of the Tang family,
, his life in the Tang family was not easy.
He has been looked down upon since childhood. He is said to be the second young master of the Tang family, but sometimes he is not as good as a servant. If his father had not protected him, he would have no place in the Tang family, let alone practice.
A whole lot of skills.
But as the head of the family, his father had to be busy with many things. Even if he loved him, there were many things that he couldn't take care of. It can be said that Mrs. Tang and his eldest brother hated him, and would make things difficult for him wherever his father couldn't see him, even if they were very close.
humiliation.
Tang Zixuan didn't want to upset his father, so he always tolerated it. Now that his father was seriously ill, Mrs. Tang sent a killer to kill him.
When Tang Zixuan learned the news about his mother at this time, his mood was complicated. He blamed his mother for abandoning him, but also looked forward to seeing her again. He didn't know if Honghong's appearance meant that his mother finally remembered his son.
.
He didn't dare to ask because he was afraid that he would not get the answer he wanted, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to forgive his mother for abandoning her.
After Tang Zixuan and Hong Hong both fell into silence, Gu Wenyu suddenly felt that the atmosphere became even weirder. She didn't know if she should remind these two people that there were pursuers behind them, so it was almost time to leave, right?
After struggling again and again, Gu Wenyu and Xiaotian didn't speak. It was because the two people were in such a strange state that they really didn't have the courage to interrupt this weird silence.
After a long time, Honghong lowered her head and thought, as if she had forgotten that there was someone in front of her, and Tang Zixuan finally asked hesitantly: "Then, is she okay?"
Honghong seemed to have been turned on by someone, and suddenly he was shocked. He suddenly raised his head and saw a face that was somewhat similar to their young lady. The years seemed to overlap, and there was a momentary sway.
God, Honghong almost thought it was their young lady who came back.
Tang Zixuan saw that Honghong didn't speak and only looked at him blankly, so he asked again: "How is she?"
Honghong smiled sadly when she heard this, and then said softly: "Even the Tang family dare not tell you, haha, the young lady is no longer here. She died long ago in order to save the so-called head of the Tang family."
"Dead...dead." Tang Zixuan felt like he was struck by lightning. Mrs. Tang told him since he was a child that his mother didn't want him and left him to run away with others, so he has always had a trace of resentment towards his mother since he was a child.
Just now, he was still worried, worried that he could not forgive his mother. But Honghong said that her mother had died a long time ago, and she did not abandon him, but she could not help herself.
Honghong took a few steps forward, "The young lady dragged Honghong to take care of the young master before she died, because the person she loved most was the young master."
