Chapter 13453: Ah Dai is your grandpa?

The image of Ah Dai formed by the blue light slowly spoke in the void, with a hint of kindness and majesty in his voice: "Demon Soul Beasts, this man is my successor, and has inherited everything from me. I have entrusted him to take care of my two children, so please do not embarrass him."

Although the words were brief, they contained Ah Dai's last wish and expectation. Every word seemed to carry a heavy weight, causing the demon soul beasts present to stand in awe.

Seeing this scene, the old demon soul beast's eyes suddenly became moist, and its voice was choked with sobs:
“Grandpa… that’s right, that’s the inheritance mark exclusive to the Demon Soul Beast… I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Its tone was full of regret and self-blame. Obviously, Ah Dai's image and words had completely dispelled its doubts and hostility.

But at this time Ling Xiao was a little confused: "You said you are Ah Dai's grandson, then Ah Dai's children are not..."

"Yes, Grandpa A'dai's children are my father and aunt. They fought against the Holy Temple in order to protect us, but were killed." A trace of grief flashed in Lie Yong's eyes, and his voice was low and firm, as if every word carried endless sorrow and anger.

The old demon soul beast Lie Yong gritted his teeth, sadness and anger intertwined on his face, forming a complex emotion:

"By the way, my name is Lieyong. Dear guests, please follow me into the village. We need to discuss the matter of A-Dai's grandfather in detail." There was a hint of pleading in his tone. Obviously, he was eager to know more about A-Dai from Ling Xiao and Jin Yan.

However, at this moment, the demon soul beast with a broken leg suddenly roared, its voice full of resentment and anger: "Village Chief, that guy broke our legs, and you just let them in?"

There was a gleam of hatred in its eyes, as if it wanted to eat Ling Xiao and Jin Yan alive.

Lie Yong frowned, this was indeed a problem, the Demon Soul Beasts had always been united, and could even be said to protect their own people. Now that one of their own had his leg broken, this was unacceptable no matter what. Even if Ling Xiao and Jin Yan were sent by Ah Dai, they still had to give an explanation to the Demon Soul Beast with a broken leg.

Lie Yong's heart was like surging waves at this moment. He knew very well the unity and protectiveness of the Demon Soul Beast clan. The Demon Soul Beast with a broken leg not only suffered severe physical injuries, but its heart must also be filled with anger and unwillingness.

As the village chief, he must maintain the harmony and order of the tribe and give the victims a reasonable explanation. However, on the other hand, Ling Xiao and Jin Yan are the distinguished guests sent by Ah Dai's grandfather, who are carrying Ah Dai's last wish, which makes it difficult for him to choose between the two.

Lie Yong's brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep entanglement and contradiction. He looked at Ling Xiao and Jin Yan, and then at the injured demon soul beasts, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He understood that his every move would affect the future of the entire Demon Soul Beast Village, and he had to make a wise and fair decision.

Ling Xiao did not say anything, but just watched indifferently. His eyes revealed a depth and insight, as if he was observing Lie Yong's every move and judging his qualities and abilities.

Ling Xiao knew that how Lie Yong handled this matter would determine what he would do next. He was testing Lie Yong and paving the way for his future actions.

The whole scene fell into a brief silence, and the air was filled with tension and anticipation. Lie Yong took a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind, and his eyes gradually became firm, as if he had found a solution to the problem.

After taking a deep breath, Lie Yong looked at the three demon soul beasts coldly and said, "You offended the guest and even attacked him directly. If the guest really wanted you dead, you would have died long ago. Broken legs are just a lesson for the three of you. Remember this in the future, don't attack at will."

There was unquestionable majesty in Lie Yong's words, and his eyes were cold and deep, as if they could penetrate all disguises and look directly into the hearts of the three demon soul beasts.

There was both blame and warning in his tone, as if he was telling them that what happened today was just a small lesson, and if they dared to act rashly again, the consequences would be disastrous.

He figured it out. It wouldn't work to just blindly protect his own shortcomings. Doing so would make the Demon Soul Beast's descendants more and more arrogant, and eventually lead them down a path of no return.

Lie Yong knew that as the village chief, he had the responsibility to guide the tribe to the right path, rather than letting them do whatever they wanted. Ling Xiao's action today helped him to knock down these fools who had completely gone astray, and made him see the seriousness of the problem.

The three demon soul beasts were obviously not convinced. Their eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. They even looked at Ling Xiao with resentment. Their eyes seemed to say that if they had the chance, they would definitely take revenge on Ling Xiao.

However, under Lie Yong's majestic gaze, they dared not do anything wrong again and could only silently endure this lesson.

Lie Yong took another deep breath, as if to suppress all his emotions. He turned to look at Ling Xiao and Jin Yan, with a hint of apology in his tone: "Don't blame me, dear guests. It's our Demon Soul Beast Clan that didn't discipline us well and caused you trouble."

His eyes revealed a sincerity and determination, as if he was assuring Ling Xiao and Jin Yan that such a thing would never happen again.

Originally Ling Xiao was planning to help the three demon soul beasts heal their legs, but now forget it, just let them suffer the pain for a while longer.

The corner of Ling Xiao's mouth curled up into a faint sneer, and his eyes revealed a kind of indifference and disdain, as if he was telling the three demon soul beasts that today's humiliation would be a wake-up call for them in the future.

"Please in, both of you! What happened today is not your fault! I would also like to thank you for showing mercy!" Lie Yong bowed, with a hint of respect and gratitude in his tone.

His eyes revealed a kind of wisdom and calmness, as if he had seen through Ling Xiao and Jin Yan's strength and character, and he was even more respectful of their mercy.

Lie Yong was not stupid, he could see that Ling Xiao and Jin Yan were quite powerful, otherwise how could they have passed the test of the two statues at the door, which was a difficult hurdle even he found difficult.

In addition, Ling Xiao did show mercy, otherwise the three Demon Soul Beasts would not only have broken their legs, but would have lost their lives.

Lie Yong secretly rejoiced in his heart that although today's events had some twists and turns, he had finally escaped danger.

"Village chief, your approach is not appropriate. It will chill the hearts of the villagers." Just as Ling Xiao and Jin Yan were about to follow Lie Yong into the village, an arrogant and cold voice sounded, with a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt.

"Inappropriate? Then Elder Wen Yu, what do you think is appropriate?" Lie Yong looked coldly at the person who spoke. It was a woman, who was very pretty, with skin as white as jade and eyes as beautiful as paintings. She was completely different from an ordinary demon soul beast.
