Shangguan Qingkong suddenly woke up. They were not in the imperial capital now. They were in the Tianqi Mountains, in a den of demon beasts! Here, they could lose their lives at any time. They really needed a master like Uncle Hai to protect them!
But his pride prevented him from bringing himself to ask Uncle Hai to stay. He looked at Uncle Hai's back with regret in his eyes, muttering to himself.
Uncle Hai also heard the words of persuasion from the people behind him, and his departing figure couldn't help but slow down, and his ears pricked up quietly, waiting for Shangguan Qingkong to say something to persuade him to stay.
Seeing that Shangguan Qingkong hadn't made any movement, An Ran couldn't help but get anxious. If Uncle Hai went back and discovered his brother's group, then all of them would be in danger!
"Uncle Hai, my cousin knows he was wrong and wants you to stay!" An Ran pulled Shangguan Qingkong's clothes and shouted anxiously.
Shangguan Qingkong remained silent and did not say anything in rebuttal.
Uncle Hai, who was far away, heard An Ran's words. He knew that this was definitely not Shangguan Qingkong's true thoughts. However, Shangguan Qingkong didn't object, which meant that he knew he was wrong. Uncle Hai's heart was also shaken a little...
After all, he had been loyal to the Shangguan family for decades and was entrusted by the head of the Shangguan family to take care of Shangguan Qingkong. He felt a little guilty when he suddenly left like this! If anything happened to Shangguan Qingkong, he would be blamed for it even if he died!
He felt a little regretful when he said those words just now, but he couldn't save face and lose his old face!
Seeing Uncle Hai slow down, An Ran quickly pulled Shangguan Qingkong and said, "Cousin, say something to make him stay. Without Uncle Hai, we will definitely not survive tomorrow in the Tianqi Mountains. Do you want to watch us die?"
An Ran's words touched the deepest fear in Shangguan Qingkong's heart. He stammered and whispered, "Uncle Hai..."
The voice of this sentence was very soft, so soft that even An Ran, who was standing next to Shangguan Qingkong, almost didn't hear clearly what he said. However, Uncle Hai, who was far away, was very keen to catch what Shangguan Qingkong said and the fear hidden in his heart.
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Uncle Hai stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Shangguan Qingkong and said, "Are you sure you want me to stay? Are you sure you want to apologize to me for what you did before?"
An Ran reached out and tugged at Shangguan Qingkong's clothes, signaling him to apologize quickly.
Looking at An Ran's anxious and worried expression, Shangguan Qingkong said reluctantly in a low voice, "I know what I said before was a bit too much. I hope you can stay!"
Although he didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear the most, Uncle Hai was already very satisfied with the current situation. He snorted coldly, turned around and walked back.
The guards around him watched him walk back and cheered excitedly. Their gloomy faces were now filled with laughter!
An Ran and Jun Zichen also breathed a sigh of relief. Uncle Hai was like a sword, and Shangguan Qingkong was his scabbard. If Shangguan Qingkong did not exist, the threat to them would be too great when the sword was unsheathed!
The only way is to let Shangguan Qingkong force Uncle Hai to death step by step, so that they can reap the benefits and achieve their previous plan of sabotage from the inside!
After this intensified conflict, although Shangguan Qingkong and Hai Shu later eased their relationship, the rift in their hearts did not disappear. Instead, it remained hidden and fermented little by little until it finally erupted like a volcano!
After a short rest, the group continued to move forward. All the guards were chatting and laughing as before, as if what had just happened had not affected their mood at all.
But Shangguan Qingkong was different. He looked at Uncle Hai's figure, and all he could think about was what had just happened. The more he thought about it, the more upset and regretful he felt!
Why had he just agreed to let Uncle Hai stay? Wasn't that like showing weakness to him? How would he face people in the future? Especially since his cousin was still around. Would the image of her as a tall, mighty figure still exist in her cousin's mind?
His cousin had been walking and standing beside him since they entered the mountain, but now, Shangguan Qingkong looked up at An Ran who was walking side by side with Jun Zichen, and the feeling of boredom in his heart became more and more intense!
Uncle Hai felt very relieved after receiving Shangguan Qingkong's apology. He even seemed to have forgotten the injury he had just suffered. He talked to the guards around him in a very friendly manner, and his laughter could be heard from far away!
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people around him, Shangguan Qingkong felt as if everyone was mocking him, mocking how cowardly he was! Even his cousin, who had always believed in him and followed him, had abandoned him!
no!
Shangguan Qingkong looked at Uncle Hai walking in front of him with a sinister look in his eyes, and secretly swore in his heart: He must find an opportunity to make Uncle Hai look bad and restore his image!
Once this idea was formed, it took root in his mind and instantly grew into a towering tree!
There has never been a shortage of such opportunities in the Apocalypse Mountains, but it seemed as if God was playing a joke on Shangguan Qingkong. They did not encounter any danger until they set up camp to rest at night, and the journey was smooth, which made Shangguan Qingkong extremely depressed!
"I'll be on guard tonight! Don't compete with me!"
In order to be the first to get the news of the Warcraft attack, after dinner, Shangguan Qingkong looked at everyone and said with confidence!
An Ran and Jun Zichen exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with confusion. They wondered what Shangguan Qingkong was up to...
"Seventh Young Master, leave the night watch to us. You are the master, how can we let you keep watch for all of us? Let us do this kind of thing!" Guard Xiaoyi quickly threw down the barbecue in his hand and said respectfully to Shangguan Qingkong.
"You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!" Shangguan Qingkong waved his hand and said very firmly. After that, he glanced around again, his eyes focused on Uncle Hai, and said unhappily: "Besides, what kind of master am I now?! Can't I come to keep watch?"
Uncle Hai, who was sitting on the side, frowned like a river. He looked at Shangguan Qingkong and said unhappily with a hint of blame in his tone:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you thinking of keeping watch for everyone for no reason? You've been spoiled since you were a child. You can't do this kind of thing. Let the guards do it!"
