Chapter 2242 Better to kill the wrong person than to let him go

The hot flames were constantly jumping, and the burning branches made "crackling" sounds from time to time. Chi Zhan and I sat face to face in a tent. No one spoke first, and only the jumping flames illuminated our faces.

"Look at you, why are you so stern again!" Chi Ruonan's mother rolled her eyes at Chi Zhan, then looked at me and said, "I heard from Lu Laosan and Mu Han that your name is Zhang Bairen?"

"Yes." I nodded.

"You seem to be... a foreigner?" she asked again.

At this moment, I sat opposite the two of them, and I just felt uncomfortable.

This kind of scene of meeting my father-in-law and mother-in-law is not the first time I have experienced it. Before, I went to meet Chu Jiu's parents in Zhangjiajie in this way.

However, this time it was even more awkward.

Because...

Chi Ruonan and I were destined not to be together. What separated us was not only distance, but also time!

"I..." I hesitated for a moment, then shook my head: "I am not a foreigner, I... don't belong to..."

Just as I was thinking about how to explain this to her parents, suddenly, a strong voice rang out from outside the tent.

"Brother, sister-in-law!" As the words fell, I saw Chi Shan actually lifted the curtain of the tent and walked directly in.

And behind him, there was Chi Ruonan!

I stared at the two of them with wide eyes, wondering why they were all here.

Chi Ruonan and Chi Shan were also stunned. They obviously didn't expect that I was there too.

"Zhang..." Chi Ruonan's lips moved, and she was about to call out my name, but was interrupted by Chi Shan's loud voice: "Brother, sister-in-law, are you all okay?"

"Why are you all here?" Chi Zhan stood up, frowned and said: "Where is Xiaoshu? You all came here, what should the village do?"

Hearing this, Chi Shan shook his head and said: "Zhang's garrison has dispatched a group of people to guard the villages, and Zhang Wangu has ordered that all dragon slayers, no matter what realm, as long as they have combat power, must come to the front line to participate in the war. In fact, Zhang Wangu didn't need to say it, I had already I was in a hurry to come back. By the way, big brother, what are you doing..."

Chi Shan's eyes wandered between Chi Zhan and me. Chi Zhan didn't say anything, as if he didn't know how to start the conversation. Instead, Chi Ruonan's mother stepped forward with a smile, held Chi Ruonan's hand, and said, "Girl, your vision for men is much better than your mother's. If your mother hadn't recognized the golden bag, would you have kept it a secret from your mother?"

"Mom..."

Chi Ruonan blushed, with a look of coquettishness on her face, and finally she didn't forget to secretly glance at me.

"You two mothers should go out first. I have a few words to say to Zhang Bairen!" Chi Zhan said.

Hearing this, Chi Ruonan's mother smiled at me and said, "Child, don't be nervous, it's okay."

Then, she pulled Chi Ruonan out of the tent. Chi Ruonan, on the other hand, looked at me with a worried look on his face, and then said, "Dad, I am willing to be with Bai Ren, don't make things difficult for him!"

Chi Zhan didn't say anything, but his face became more and more gloomy.

"Go ahead, your second uncle is here. If you really want to fight, I will fight with your father and have a double fight!" Chi Shan looked at me with a smirk.

As for me, I couldn't help but twitch the corners of my mouth.

I thought he was going to speak for me, but who would have thought that he would have a double fight with Chi Zhan?

"Tell me, how long have you and Ruonan... known each other?" Chi Zhan sat opposite me and asked me.

"Hey, let me tell you!" Chi Shan suddenly waved his hands and said, "Brother, this guy's identity... is far more complicated than you think. I know a little bit. I'll tell you first, you have to be mentally prepared!"

Chi Shan took a sip of water, and then began to tell the story.

For a moment, the only sounds in the entire tent were the "crackling" sound of burning branches and the sound of Chi Shan talking.

"You come from the future?" Chi Zhan frowned, with a deep puzzlement in his eyes: "You came here to find Luo Xia?"

"Yes!" I nodded.

"Then did you find it?" He asked again.

"Found it." I nodded again. "

Then why... didn't you return to your time and still stay here?"

"I..." I lowered my head and was silent.

After a long time, I said, "I am the last dragon slayer of my era. Although dragon slayers were almost extinct in that era, human cultivators developed countless methods of cultivation and were very powerful. Moreover, the human race in that era was still resisting the demon race as it is now..."

I told the two of them about the current situation. Hearing this, Chi Zhan sighed and said, "In this case, even if the human race wins a short-term victory, in the distant future, it will still face the same dilemma as this era!"

"Brother, who do you think will stand up and lead our human race to completely win the war against the demon race?" Chi Shan said curiously.

Chi Zhan pondered for a while, then said: "I don't know, but I think... now among the human race, the only one who is qualified to challenge the Demon King of the demon race is Zhang Wangu. If... in the future there really is an extremely powerful person who will lead the human race to win the war against the demon race, then I think this person must be Zhang Wangu!"

"Yeah, that makes sense!" Chi Shan nodded, and even I agreed with Chi Zhan's point of view.

"You and Ruonan... are destined to be just passers-by in each other's lives!" Chi Zhan sighed, but then he chuckled: "You and I are both dragon slayers, and so is Ruonan. Moreover, we were born in troubled times, so we are more open-minded about some things than you are. Don't worry, Ruonan's mother and I will not interfere with your relationship. I just hope that Ruonan will not leave any regrets. After all... no one dares to say which will come first, the accident or tomorrow, in this battle that is about to begin!"

I raised my eyebrows after hearing Chi Zhan's words, and even Chi Shan looked solemn.

"The war is about to begin?" Chi Shan looked at Chi Zhan and asked, "The demon race...are they going to fight us to death this time?"

Chi Zhan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Yes, many evil gods have descended on the world, they are all looking for a variable, and that variable is among our human race. At present, the demon race has initially estimated that Zhang Wangu is most likely to be the variable, but this involves the very deep level of the way of heaven, and no one can predict it accurately. So..."

"So the other races, for their own status, are ready to... massacre all the human race, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go?" I suddenly asked in a low voice.
