Chapter 188.2 I Prove His Innocence (2/2)
Zi Bufan turned to look at Wang Ke as though it was her first time seeing this kind of person.
“We… we were playing afool! It wasn’t like what Se Yutian said!” Wang Ke said with a helpless chuckle.
Oh no. The back door under the blood pool is getting exposed!
“Playing a fool? Do you suffocate your wives for fun when you feel bored?” Zi Bufan asked, staring at him in disbelief.
“Hmm… It has been quite a while; why hasn’t she floated back up yet?” Se Yutian wondered about it too.
“It could be… that she feels that it’s too boring here, so she left first!” Wang Ke explained.
“No. She went down, and she didn’t leave for sure. There’s something under the blood pool?” Se Yutian’s eyes widened.
And Wang Ke looked worried. Oh no, my treasures! They are all gone!
“It’s hard to scan under the blood pool with our minds. Could there really be something underneath it?” Zi Bufan asked curiously.
“Humph, we will know after we take a look!” Se Yutian said as he waved his hand.
“Roar!”
The leyline blood dragon roared in mid-air and opened its mouth.
“Booooom! Rumble!”
The dragon sucked the blood water into its mouth; its size grew continuously, and its color turned crimson.
And the vast blood pool was about to be sucked dry in just a short while.
Then, a spell array formed with countless spirit stones was revealed, though no one was there.
Wang Ke’s eyes also widened in shock. Where is the door? There’s no back door! Where did Long Yu go?
“Ha, Se Yutian, so even you make such mistakes? Wang Ke is right. His little wife escaped during the chaos!” Zi Bufan mocked.
Se Yutian’s eyelid twitched violently, and he looked embarrassed. Looking up, he shot Wang Ke a death stare.
“You can’t blame me, Parlor Lord Se. You were the one who misread the situation, it’s not my fault. She left while everyone was distracted; that’s on your subordinates. You can’t expect me to stop her, right?” Wang Ke immediately pushed the responsibility.
Se Yutian: “……..!”
Did I really see wrongly?
“Humph, how did you find your way here? And how did She Qingqing find her way here? You came with She Qingqing, right?” Se Yutian stared at Wang Ke sternly.
“You don’t have to ask Wang Ke about this. I saw it with my own eyes! Your subordinate, Tong An’an, led the way!” Zi Bufan said.
“Hmm?” Se Yutian was surprised by her answer.
And she continued, “Tong An’an brought Wang Ke and his little wife here to find Zhu Hongyi. When they entered, Wang Ke sent Tong An’an to find She QingqingShe Qingqing. And then, she came!” Zi Bufan said.
“Tong An’an? ” Se Yutian’s face was terrifyingly grim.
And at that moment, Tong An’an shuddered amidst the crowd of demons.
“Parlor Lord, Parlor Lord! It’s not like that! I’m not the one who led them here, neither did I inform She Qingqing. This has nothing to do with me!” He immediately cried out in defense of himself.
Tong An’an wanted hide inside the crowd to enjoy the show of how Se Yutian deals with Wang Ke. But… how? How did all the fault somehow end up on me? Damn! So whatever happened today is all my fault now? Why?
Tong An’an scrambled toward the center and knelt down immediately, “Parlor Lord, please prove my innocence! I didn’t do that! I didn’t bring them in here!”
“Oh?” Se Yutian looked at Tong An’an with a frown.
And Tong An’an quickly recounted what had happened.
And Se Yutian was somewhat convinced by him. After all, Zi Bufan was the only one who knew that Zi Bufan was here other than himself. Tong An’an would not have known!
“Kekeke, your words sound quite convincing, huh. He led Wang Ke directly here without stopping to look for Zhu Hongyi anywhere else. They jumped into this place directly and found Zhu Hongyi? If you didn’t bring them here, how would they know that Zhu Hongyi is here?” Zi Bufan said sarcastically.
“I… I don’t know!” Tong An’an answered in despair.
“I clearly heard Wang Ke ask you to inform She Qingqing and the rest to come here. Then you left, and She Qingqing arrived a short while later! Tsk tsk. Who else could have given She Qingqing the location?” Zi Bufan reasoned on.
“I… I didn’t! I was focused on getting the Lightning Bead out! I didn’t do that! I have no idea either!” Tong An’an sounded like he couldn’t prove himself innocent.
“Tong An’an, you dare to betray me?” Se Yutian glared at him with a murderous look.
“I didn’t. I really did not! Parlor Lord, I am totally loyal to you!” Tong An’an pleaded anxiously.
Damn, how did I become a rebel? It’s not like that!
“Who can prove it for you? Zi Bufan chuckled in mockery.
“Me. I prove it for him; does that work?” Wang Ke chimed in.
Zi Bufan: “…………!”
Se Yutian: “……..!”
“Wang Ke, stop messing around. You prove my innocence? Damn, you are my enemy! If you prove it for me, you will only do more harm to me!” Tong An’an objected anxiously.
Who would believe Wang Ke? Everyone will think that we are acting alongside each other!
But Wang Ke sighed, “I’m doing this because I really appreciate your talent, and I don’t want you to be punished innocently!”
“Bullsh*t! I don’t need your appreciation!” Tong An’an was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
“Oh?” Wang Ke appreciates you, so you turned your allegiance to Wang Ke and betrayed me?” Se Yutian asked coldly.
And Tong An’an pleaded his innocence again, “It’s not like that, Parlor Lord. It’s really not like that. Others can prove it for me; there are others! She Qingqing was controlling another subordinate of yours. He can prove my innocence!” Tong An’an objected anxiously.
And Wang Ke interjected again, “That guy already exploded!”
Tong An’an: “……….!”
Damn it, I have no way of proving my innocence now?
“There are two other subordinates of yours under control. Let’s find them, quick!” Tong An’an urged.
However, no one believed Tong An’an, and he grew increasingly desperate.
How is it that I can’t explain myself out of the situation? It’s really not my fault!
“Oh yeah, outside the Demonic Dragon Island, a bunch of demonic sect disciples from the Divine Dragon Island are laying in ambush. They are waiting for the signal to attack the Demonic Dragon Island. Parlor Lord, you can go and take a look. Over there! I didn’t lie!” Tong An’an urged.
“Is it?” Se Yutian asked with a deep voice.
“Yes, they are ambushed toward that direction!” Tong An’an pointed the way for the Parlor Lord.
At once, Se Yutian’s Branch Lords soared into the sky with their flying swords to investigate Tong An’an’s claim.
And shortly after, they returned.
“Parlor Lord, we went to where Tong An’an pointed. No one is there; not even a ship!” One of the Branch Lords explained.
“What?” Tong An’an eyes widened.
Why? How did this happen? Didn’t She Qingqing come up with a battle plan? And she asked them to wait for the signal there? Where did they go?
“Tong An’an, you dare to betray me? Humph, I’m sure you know the consequence of that! Take him down!” Se Yutian ordered icily.
“I didn’t! Parlor Lord, I’m innocent! I didn’t betray you!” Tong An’an pleaded for mercy.
Unfortunately, no one bought into his explanation. A bunch of demons jumped on him, and they chained him like a rice dumpling in no time.
“My fellow brothers, please plead mercy for me. I send gifts to you guys every festival, each year. I’m really innocent. Please, ask for the Parlor Lord’s mercy!” Tong An’an pleaded.
But the demonic sect disciples ignored him; no one helped him. And Tong An’an was in despair immediately.
He was supposed to be professional at making friends with everyone. But when he was in difficulty, no one was even willing to speak in his favor. I’m such a failure!
“Parlor Lord Se, Par Lord Zi, I think Tong An’an is really innocent. He really doesn’t know the situation. I found my own way here; you really wronged him!” Wang Ke spoke in Tong An’an’s favor.
And everyone gave him a weird look.
Damn, what use do your words have? The Parlor Lord suspects that Tong An’an betrayed him and turned his allegiance to you! Wouldn’t your plea for mercy on him make it even worse for him?
Tong An’an also shot Wang Ke a stare. I really have to f-ing thank you! Do I really need the culprit of my demise to beg for mercy on my behalf? You are just forcing me down the cliff!
