Chapter 696 Father and Son



When Ye Lan made his move, it was just one second away.

Bang.

The old man was catapulted out and hit the banquet mural behind him heavily, while Boss Bai fell to the ground, stunned.

Several people here reacted and exclaimed in surprise.

"Fuck, you even killed your own son, are you still human?!"

Ye Lan had previously calculated that the old man would change his skin every hundred years, using the lives of his own flesh and blood.

There must be a reason why he suddenly attacked Boss Bai.

The only explanation is that Boss Bai is his son.

After being surprised, Boss Bai obviously thought of this as well.

He slowly turned his head to look not far away, and then ignored his body which had become weak after some of his energy was sucked away, walked step by step to the old man, lowered his head and stared at him blankly.

"You are my...father?"

The last two words were so unfamiliar that the pronunciation was extremely awkward when they came out of his mouth.

The old man lay on the ground, his joints all broken and unable to move. He could only look at him pleadingly with his eyes, "I am, child, I am your biological father."

"Then why did you abandon us brothers and let us fend for ourselves?" Boss Bai shed tears. Thinking back to how he grew up in a place like the border, where his life hung on a tightrope every minute and every second, he couldn't understand.

The old man seemed like a completely different person now, bursting into tears as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Listen to my explanation. I had no choice but to leave you behind temporarily because so many enemies were chasing me."

"What happened afterwards? Why didn't you come back to find us? Do you know how we grew up over the past decade?" Boss Bai continued to ask excitedly.

"I know I've let you down, so I wanted to make amends. I didn't expect your brothers to be killed." The old man moved his fingertips, his face full of pain and sorrow. "Let's avenge your brothers first, okay? So, you help me up first."

Boss Bai wiped away his tears, like a helpless child, watching his father involuntarily approach and leaning forward slightly.

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in the old man's turbid eyes, and he suddenly raised his hand to cover Boss Bai's head.

Phew.

There was a slight tearing sound in the air.

Then the old man stopped moving.

He was stunned for a second, then looked down to see the dagger stuck in his chest. When he looked at his own son again, there was no trace of fatherly love or admiration on the other's face.

Those eyes were filled with indifference and hatred, just like when he killed his master.

Boss Bai pulled out the dagger and stabbed it a few more times until the heart was completely shattered. He then stood up again and said with a cold expression, "I'm your son. How can I be kind? Do you really think I'll be fooled by you for the second time?"

"You..." The old man opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to say something, but unfortunately he could no longer speak.

He fell limply to the ground, his pupils gradually dilated, and finally he stopped breathing, becoming a cold corpse.

Until his death, he never thought that he would die at the hands of his own son.

Everyone present had seen the dark side of human nature to some extent, but they were still shocked by the scene of father and son scheming and killing each other.

Boss Bai came to the table, holding the bloody dagger, and sat down. After taking a sip of the cold tea, he said, "I lost, but one of my men also died, so this life is considered a compensation."

The stakes are his life, but he won't really risk it.

Everyone was shocked by his shamelessness, and many of them rolled their eyes secretly.

Ye Lan had anticipated this. After putting down his teacup, he said calmly, "I just want to ask you a few questions."

Hearing this, Boss Bai was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "That's it? Fine, ask, I promise to tell you the truth."

Such a cynical attitude makes people angry just by looking at it.

"You don't have to promise, I have my own way." Ye Lan shook his head and drew a talisman in the air with two fingers.

Boss Bai watched her gestures and didn't notice anything unusual in her body, so he thought she was just being mysterious.

Then Ye Lan's clear voice was heard saying, "You deliberately sold antiques to the Zheng family. What do you want to do with the artifact spirits?"

Boss Bai was stunned. He didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to the Zheng family. His eyes flickered and he opened his mouth to say he didn't know, but he found that his voice came out involuntarily.

"The spirit of the weapon is under our control. We believe that absorbing human essence can maintain her beauty. Once she is contaminated with human life, she will be completely used by us. Besides, Xia Country is a holy place for cultivation and rich in resources. Who wouldn't want to get a piece of the pie? We have spent enough time on the border."

After saying these two sentences, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and glared at the opposite side, "Stinky girl, what did you do to me?!"

Ye Lan ignored him and continued, "Was it your father who came up with this idea?"

Boss Bai tried to stop himself from speaking, but the sound still leaked out from between his fingers.

"yes."

"Now that the plan has failed, what is your new plan?"

"We discovered that there are valuable items in Ghost Valley. There is an ancient giant snake underneath. There must be a legacy of evil magic there, so we want to obtain it and cultivate it ourselves to create a new sect."

"By then, it's only a matter of time before the Ancient Martial Arts World and the Xuan Sect of the Central Plains are wiped out by us."

Boss Bai sat down on the ground, sweating profusely, and looked at Ye Lan in horror, "Don't ask anymore, don't ask anymore!"

He held his head, nearly collapsing.

When he was watching the fight just now, he just thought Ye Lan was sitting there motionless, and he didn't think she was that scary. It was only then that he realized how much impact Ye Lan had on people when they were face to face.

Ye Lan had already asked everything he wanted to ask, and finally said only one sentence, "When your father taught you to practice, did he ever tell you that his skills were inherited from the same lineage, and that you would have to exchange your own flesh and blood for your skin in the future?"

This rhetorical question made Boss Bai dumbfounded.

He thought of the scene just now and his newborn son at home, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.

When Ye Lan and his group returned to the front table, they heard Boss Bai's painful cries from behind, and they felt complicated.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

No matter how cruel a person is, unless they have physical personality defects, such as the old man who killed his relatives without mercy, they can no longer be called human. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to kill their own flesh and blood.

Even if you take action, you will go crazy and there will be no recovery.

Ye Lan didn't kill him, but he made his life more painful than death.

After sitting back at the table, she sent a message to Shi Feng, asking him to send people to the border area to encircle and suppress the organization, so as to avoid causing big trouble like Jiang Ziheng's Divine Organization did in the past.

This is also the reason why she has been patient enough to continue competing until now.

And because of this game, many people paid attention to her presence.

Now, when Lu Guanshu and others came over, they would not dare to treat her as a vase. What's more, if they observed carefully, they would find that neither Hong Qing nor Xiao Yunting was the person in charge among these people.

They were all acting with Ye Lan as the center.

This discovery made Lu Guanshu and others even more surprised and confused.

Where does this amazing all-rounder come from?
