After hearing the old voice coming from behind, Qin Xiyao stopped arguing with the little white ape.
The moment Qin Xiyao turned around, she saw an old man standing behind her and almost bumped into him.
The old man was not kind-looking. His short silver hair was messy and his eyes were bright, showing a bit of shrewdness and calculation. His clothes were so tattered that it was impossible to tell what color they were!
He was leaning on a wooden cane, which was not painted but made of ordinary wood.
Qin Xiyao observed him through her Nine-Light Purple Eyes and felt that there was something strange about him, but she couldn't tell what exactly was strange about him.
"Old man! Why are you going to the Demon King's Cave now?"
Qin Xiyao asked politely.
When she used her Nine-Light Purple Eyes to observe the other party's cultivation, she found that the other party's cultivation was below the Foundation Establishment stage, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with anything else.
Therefore, she could only chat with the old man to find out his purpose of going to the Demon King's Cave!
After all, with his cultivation level below the foundation building stage, it is not suitable for him to come to the Demon King's Cave!
If there is no unspeakable secret, who would risk their life to come to the Demon King's Cave?
"Oh! It's a long story!"
"Forget it! Ugh..."
Qin Xiyao asked this question, and the old man began to burst into tears.
"Old man! Why are you so sad?"
"If you encounter any difficulties, can you share them with Xiyao? Maybe Xiyao can help you."
Seeing the old man crying sadly in front of her, Qin Xiyao felt pity and couldn't help but start asking about the old man's private affairs.
"You can't help!"
After hearing what Qin Xiyao said, the old man couldn't help but shake his head.
"This Demon King's Cave is no ordinary place! There lives a great demon king named Gong Gong. He loves treasures, has a human face and a snake body, and has red hair. He's skilled in sorcery and can transform himself into a cultivator, a forest spirit, and so on."
When the old man introduced Gonggong to Qin Xiyao, he would steal glances at her from time to time.
Qin Xiyao didn't notice it and just listened to him quietly.
"Old man! You've told me so much, but I still don't understand."
Qin Xiyao only understood: There is a big devil named Gonggong in the Devil's Cave!
As for why the old man wanted to go to the Demon King's Cave, Qin Xiyao still didn't understand, and her brows frowned: the old man seemed to not trust her!
"For some unknown reason, my son has been detained by the great devil and is being used as a servant in the devil's cave!"
"When my wife learned that the unworthy bastard was being held in the Devil's Lair, she cried all day and kept urging me to go and see him."
"I have no choice but to risk my life to come to the Demon King's Cave to find my son and reassure my wife!"
The old man seemed to see what Qin Xiyao was thinking, and with a sad and helpless tone, he explained to Qin Xiyao as if he was telling a story.
Qin Xiyao believed the old man's words without a doubt. She pointed to the Devil King's Cave ahead and said to the old man, "That's the Devil King's Cave ahead!"
"Little girl! Thank you so much!"
After thanking Qin Xiyao, the old man walked forward step by step, leaning on the crutch in his left hand tremblingly.
But he hadn't walked far when his foot slipped and he accidentally fell!
“Ouch! Ouch…”
The old man remained in the posture he had fallen, lying on the ground groaning.
Seeing that the old man had difficulty walking, Qin Xiyao did not leave immediately after showing him the way. Instead, she stood there and observed silently.
After seeing the old man fall, she immediately stepped forward and helped him up.
"Old man! Are you okay?"
Qin Xiyao asked after using her spiritual power to clean the dust off the old man's body.
"Nothing else! I'm fine! It's just that my legs are numb and I can't move them!"
"Kind girl, can you help me get to the Demon King's Cave?"
The old man's brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked very uncomfortable, but his bright eyes were staring at Qin Xiyao, as if begging her to send him to the Devil's Cave.
The old man looked so pitiful that Qin Xiyao couldn't bear to refuse him.
I had no choice but to help the old man to the Demon King's Cave.
After arriving at the Demon King's Cave, Qin Xiyao had just pulled her hands out of the old man's arms.
A young, well-dressed man appeared out of nowhere and walked towards them.
"Dad! What brings you here?"
The young man walked past Qin Xiyao and went straight to the old man.
"You little brat! I haven't even settled the score with you yet! And you're asking me first!"
The old man who looked listless just now became energetic after seeing his own son.
"Dad! There's nothing I can do about it!"
"That big devil was so kind to me! Not only did he promote me to a junior cadre, he also arranged a place for me to live!"
The young man excitedly introduced his current situation to the old man, and he looked very energetic.
The old man just listened quietly as the young man described his experience in the Devil's Cave.
Qin Xiyao could not see any expression on his face. He looked neither sad nor happy, which made Qin Xiyao feel uneasy.
She wanted to leave the Demon King's Cave, this place of trouble, as soon as possible!
"Old man! Now that you've found your son, I have other things to do. I have to leave now!"
While Qin Xiyao was talking to the old man, she winked at Zhu Yunrou.
After Zhu Yunrou received Qin Xiyao's signal, she immediately walked to Qin Xiyao's side.
"Dad! Who is this beautiful girl?"
"Why did she come with you?"
After hearing Qin Xiyao's voice, the young man deliberately pretended to have just seen Qin Xiyao.
The attitude is extremely arrogant!
"Just now, I fell on the way to the Demon King's Cave, and this girl helped me up!"
The old man explained calmly, but his eyes suddenly became sharp as he swept across the young man's face.
The young man was shaking with fear.
"I'm sorry! I ignored you just now. I want to express my apology to you!"
"Please come to my humble abode and have a cup of tea before you leave!"
The young man suddenly spoke to Qin Xiyao respectfully.
"No! I really have other things to do and can't stay here for long."
"Since you and your son are meeting, why not reminisce about the past?"
After Qin Xiyao finished exchanging polite words with the young man, she turned around and was about to leave!
"Girl! Do you look down on me?"
When the old man saw that the young man failed to persuade Qin Xiyao, he gave him a look: You are so useless!
At critical moments, we still have to rely on his old face!
"Really not! Old man! You're worrying too much!"
Qin Xiyao's face instantly became unnatural after being misunderstood by the old man.
"I'm suspicious? Humph! Then why don't you want my son to invite you to tea?"
The old man suddenly changed his expression, becoming a completely different person from the pitiful look he had shown in front of Qin Xiyao before!
