Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 12 Xiao Yanzi is really angry

After Gong Lili abandoned the Purple Cloud Beast and followed Mo Yi on her own, the Purple Cloud Beast returned to the yard and felt uneasy. After all, it regarded Gong Lili as its mother from the bottom of its heart. Although it was forced to call her sister, it could not stop its feelings for Gong Lili.
So naturally he was a little worried. When he returned to the courtyard, he rushed to Yan Zheng and Ze Ze's room and woke them up. After saying this and that, Yan Zheng, worried about Gong Lili's safety, lost all sleep and got up. Ze Ze, who had been chatting happily with Zhou Gong, was a little unhappy to be disturbed in his sweet dream. When he heard what the Purple Cloud Beast said, he blurted out in a daze, "What are you afraid of? Brother Yi is here, everything will be fine."
After saying that, he turned around and went to meet Zhou Gong again. Seeing him like this, Yan Zheng didn't say much. Besides, he always regarded Zeze as a child, so how could he let him take risks? Of course, he didn't plan to take him with him. Who knew that the Purple Cloud Beast, which was dedicated to protecting its master, would not agree to it. In its eyes, since they were Pingping and Zeze, they should act together.
So the little fellow looked at Zeze's arm and bit it hard, causing a sharp pain in Zeze's arm. He immediately regained consciousness, thinking that it was Yan Zheng's order. He shook off the Purple Cloud Beast and muttered to himself, "I told you it's okay, it's okay. Brother Yi is a Nayu man who has gained immortality. There aren't many people in this world who can defeat him!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it really stirred up a hornet's nest, and Yan Zheng's hair and beard immediately stood on end!
Mo Yi is an immortal Nayu person? This is huge news, at least for Yan Zheng. He is the only one in this group who does not know Mo Yi's true identity.
Although Zeze looks young, his mind is different. In addition, he has retained his previous memories, so he easily deduced that Mo Yi is from Nayu. Later, he asked Yinglili privately. Although Yinglili did not admit it, she did not deny it either. Everyone just knew it tacitly.
In fact, she had taken Yan Zheng's identity as the wizard Sha Mo into consideration before, and with the mentality of less trouble is worse than more, so Ying Lili did not tell Yan Zheng about Mo Yi's true identity. After all, the Na Yu clan and the Sha Mo clan are sworn enemies, and Ying Lili herself was not sure how Yan Zheng would react after Mo Yi's identity was revealed, and Mo Yi himself obviously disdained to tell anyone.
That's why I kept this matter secret until now. I didn't expect that it would be exposed today by accident.
Seeing Yan Zheng's worried look on his face, Ping Lili felt a little guilty and regretted hiding something from him. She hurried forward and said to him with a guilty look on her face, "Yan Zheng, calm down and listen to me. We've been through life and death together before. I've always respected you and regarded you as an elder brother, but there are some things I have my reasons for hiding."
Yan Zheng looked at her steadily, then looked at Mo Yi . He vaguely realized that there seemed to be many things he had been kept in the dark about.
indifferent.
Although he didn't glare at her or look coldly at her, this cold expression made Gong Lili even more frightened. It seemed that Xiao Yanzi was really angry.
She made up her mind and decided to tell him part of the truth. After all, she had to enter Shamo City and sneak into Shamo Temple. Without Yan Zheng's support, she would have to take a lot of detours. So she simply told Yan Zheng how she met Mo Yi and why she came to Xu Ming Realm. Although she was reserved about the matter of the Sky Stone and the fact that Jianyi was finally sealed, she told Yan Zheng her true thoughts about going to Shamo City, including the matter of dealing with Yao Ji.
Yan Zheng had been listening silently, neither interrupting nor making any expression. He just listened quietly with his thick brows furrowed. But the more Gong Lili spoke, the more regretful she felt. After all, Yan Zheng was a disciple of Senior Brother Wu Su, a pure wizard of the Shamo clan. And why should she, a Cheng Yaojin who showed up out of nowhere and had no legitimate reason, ask him to stand on her side?
But deep down in her heart, there was a faint hope that Yan Zheng could understand her difficulties.
After all, all of Ying Lili's feelings for the Shamo clan came from Yan Zheng. It was this person who made her truly realize and be willing to become a true Shamo person. Although she later sneered at the position of the chief wizard of Shamo because of the relationship with Kamaya, she never rejected the identity of a Shamo person. It was Yan Zheng who made her truly feel that being a Shamo person is a happy thing.
So, no matter what, Ying Lili was unwilling to be an enemy of Yan Zheng.
Ying Lili looked at Yan Zheng anxiously, waiting for his final decision. Although Mo Yi seemed a little disapproving behind her, perhaps he had not yet recovered from the touching moment he had just experienced, so for the first time in his life he did not sneer. His deep eyes just fell quietly on Ying Lili, as if he was lost in his own thoughts.
The air around them suddenly became silent and solemn. However, at this moment, before Yan Zheng opened his mouth, someone broke the silence first. With a wow sound, Ze Ze burst into tears. While crying, she rushed forward and hugged Yan Zheng's thighs, shaking them desperately: "Brother Zheng, please don't be angry, okay? Sister Lili is so pitiful! She didn't mean to hide it from you. She came here alone and left her hometown. Is it easy for her? She is being hunted by bad guys. Is it easy for her? And she has to be possessed by an old monster. Is it easy for her?..."
Little Zeze beat his chest and stamped his feet, howling incessantly like a surging river. The three adults were all stunned. Yan Zheng had an embarrassed look on his face, Mo Yi's expression was twitching violently, and Peng Lili stared at Zeze rubbing his nose and tears on Yan Zheng with his mouth wide open. He was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was really clever. I wonder where he learned this skill from?
This trick works!
Ping Lili has always been a quick-witted person. Since there is a chance, she might as well try it out. She grinned and sobbed to herself: "Yes, I don't want to hide it from you, but you are a Shamo wizard and he is a Nayu, and I don't want to see the two of you being irreconcilable..."
Zeze saw that Qinglili was also sobbing, and his eyes rolled. It was getting worse. He simply abandoned Yan Zheng and rushed to Qinglili to accompany her. Every time Qinglili sobbed, he would howl for a while...
The Purple Cloud Beast, upon seeing this, thought the two were playing some kind of game, and, unwilling to be outdone, poked its head out from Zeze's embrace and howled at the top of its lungs...
Suddenly, there was a chorus of crying, wailing and sobbing, it was so miserable.
Mo Yi's expression had twitched to the extreme. Only then did he finally understand what it meant that only women and villains were difficult to raise. This was even more noisy than five thousand ducks!
As for Yan Zheng, after being riled up by those three, even if he was furious, he couldn't express it. Actually, if he thought about it calmly, it made sense for Ying Lili to hide Mo Yi's identity from him. After all, Sha Mo and Na Yu were sworn enemies, and it would be difficult for him to accept the other's identity so quickly. However, the real reason for his anger wasn't because of this, but because of Ying Lili's distrust.
Is Yan Zheng such an unreasonable person? If he had told him earlier, he might not have been unable to get along peacefully with Mo Yi. After all, Mo Yi no longer represents the Nayu clan. From his previous actions of protecting Ying Lili, Yan Zheng naturally saw that this person was not like the cold-blooded and murderous Nayu people in the legend.
And the most important thing is that although Nayu and Shamo are sworn enemies, the last battle of Shamo City has been over for five hundred years. After that battle, the Nayu people were almost extinct, and naturally there was no conflict between the two tribes. So for Yan Zheng's generation, the Nayu people almost only existed in legends, and the so-called hatred had gradually faded away, and was not as unforgettable as that of his master, the Great Elder Wusu. It was just that he had just heard that he was a Nayu, and he was subconsciously nervous and prejudiced. Therefore, he believed that he was not too narrow-minded to live in peace with the Nayu people. After all, things change over time.
However, Yan Zheng's self-esteem was severely damaged by Gong Lili's cover-up and concealment, so his reaction was so strong. Seeing her pitiful appearance, even if there was still anger in his chest, it gradually disappeared. However, for Yan Zheng, who has always been rigorous and serious, there are a few things he must confirm.
He sighed, first stopping the crying trio, then said to Gong Lili sternly, "Sir, I would like to ask you three questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully."
Upon hearing this, Yinglili knew that Xiaoyanzi was not so angry anymore, and her eyes lit up immediately: "You say."
He also grabbed Pingping and Zeze separately, and the two funny guys stopped crying .
"First, can you guarantee that you won't do anything that will harm Sha Mo?" Yan Zheng had a serious expression on his face at this time. It seemed that this guy was indeed loyal to Sha Mo.
Ying Lili thought about it and realized that she only needed to deal with the Yao Ji matter and help the Na Yu people remove the curse. This shouldn't be considered as something that would harm the Sha Mo clan, so she nodded without hesitation: "Of course, as a Sha Mo wizard, I still have some self-awareness."
"Second, how do you plan to deal with Lady Yao Ji's soul?" Yan Zheng naturally knew his master's feelings towards Lady Yao Ji. If Gong Lili wanted to harm her, he would naturally not be an accomplice.
Ping Lili thought for a moment and then said with a serious expression, "I won't hide it from you. Actually, up to now, I haven't thought of a better way to deal with the problem between her and me, but I can promise that I won't harm her."
"One last question, do you want me to go with you?" After a long silence, as if believing the previous answer of Ying Lili, Yan Zheng finally asked the last question. At this moment, his clear eyes were just like when they first met, staring directly at Ying Lili.
"I have always regarded you as the most important tribesman and companion." Without further words, Ying Lili believed that he understood the deep meaning of her words.
