Chapter 963

At this time, Xiao Hongdao's eyes were dark, but the light curve of his lips was slightly cheerful, "I haven't seen a child as smart as you for many years."

He stared at the teapot, raised his head slightly, "Aren't you afraid that I might poison the tea?"

Li Qiao smacked the tip of her tongue, as if she was relishing the aroma of tea, "You don't."

Xiao Hongdao raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.

Seeing this, Li Qiao raised her eyes and looked around slowly, "There are four people behind the Buddhist hall, and there are no less than ten people in the bushes. There may be more in other places. If you set up a net, poisoning is really unnecessary."

"Li Qiao..." Xiao Hongdao shook his head regretfully, "If you weren't Jing Yilan's daughter, we definitely wouldn't be enemies."

Li Qiao looked at the broken teacup on the table, raised her eyelids as usual, "No matter who I am, the end will be the same."

"Really?" At this time, Xiao Hongdao stood up with the edge of the table, and sighed, "You have a good plan and a flexible mind. I heard that you are still the favorite student of Academician Jiang Hande."

A subtle flash of light flashed across Li Qiao's eyes, and it disappeared in an instant.

She got up, and said without any haste, "I should be... the favorite student of many people."

"Young man, it's better not to be too conceited." Xiao Hongdao turned sideways, smiling slightly, "You have sent people to secretly protect Nanyang Li's family, Duan's family, and Renhe laboratory. Protect it? Zhong Jiugong, Jiang Hande, and... the border poor kilns, are they forgotten or not important?"

Xiao Hongdao stared at Li Qiao for a moment, "You said you would follow your father's teachings, but you seem to have forgotten to respect your teacher."

Li Qiao replied silently, her dark deer eyes remained calm.

Xiao Hongdao stood with his hands behind his back, and glanced at the silent Li Qiao from the corner of his eye, "Son, what do you want to tell me?"

Li Qiao moved her lips, and there was a hint of playfulness between her brows and eyes.

She didn't respond, but turned around slowly.

Xiao Hongdao narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, a figure that shouldn't be here came into view.

"Old Xiao, take my child away, have you asked me?"

A deep and smiling voice gradually entered my ears, and in front of the path in the back garden, Shang Zonghai walked steadily in a brown Tang suit with his hands behind his back.

If you say you believe in Buddhism, Shang Zonghai, who is twisting a Buddhist bead, is more convincing.

Two old friends who are over fifty years old meet again in a foreign land, and the atmosphere is inexplicably tense.

Xiao Hongdao was as motionless as a mountain, while Shang Zonghai came slowly.

The moment the eyes of the two met, the air seemed to freeze.

Shang Zonghai walked to Li Qiao's side, and patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "Girl, Shaoyan is behind, go find him."

Li Qiao glanced at Xiao Hongdao, then slightly hooked her lips, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."

There was a hint of admiration in Shang Zonghai's eyes, he leaned forward and whispered: "Aren't you afraid?"

"Aren't you here?!" Li Qiao's natural attitude made Shang Zonghai chuckle, "Okay, then you will stay with me."

Li Qiao followed Shang Zonghai back to the round table, even if she didn't observe carefully, she could still notice the change in Xiao Hongdao's momentum.

Shang Zonghai glanced down at the teacup that was broken in half on the table, then picked up the teapot and sniffed it.

Xiao Hongdao slowly closed his eyes, and shrugged his shoulders back, "Old fox, you don't need to put on airs in front of me."

Shang Zonghai casually threw the teapot on the table, staring at him with deep eyes, "You have restrained a lot."

Xiao Hongdao looked sideways, and a cold sneer formed on his lips, "Of course I can't compare to you. After all these years, you are still as hypocritical as ever."

Shang Zonghai took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist and rubbed them in his palms. The old god raised his eyebrows on the ground, "Old Xiao, you and I are not speculative, so why not be more frank and straightforward."

"What's the point of talking straight?" Xiao Hongdao turned around and looked at her. The two were about the same height, and their aura collided silently and intensely. "You might as well let this little girl tell me what she wants to do."

A master's fight may not require real swords and guns.

Often a conversation can tell the winner.

Li Qiao has known Shang Zonghai for a long time, and rarely sees such a sharp side of him.

Most likely, the hatred goes deep into the bones, so it's too troublesome to even pretend to be a snake.

Shang Zonghai looked at Li Qiao gently, and the change of momentum took only an instant.

He smiled, and said connivingly, "Everything my child does has her reasons."

"But..." Shang Zonghai turned his head quietly, his tone suddenly changed, "I'm afraid you can't touch her."

Xiao Hongdao strolled back to the table and sat down, waved away the two broken teacups, his eyes filled with gloom, "It's not the first time I've moved the person you're protecting. It's pointless to threaten me."

The moment the words fell, Yin Zhihong came out from behind the Buddhist hall, holding a tray with a new teapot and three teacups on it.

At this time, Li Qiao looked at Yin Zhihong indifferently, and the latter noticed her gaze, flickered slightly, and quickly looked away.

Xiao Hongdao picked up the teapot and shook it, "It's better to replace the things you touched with new ones, right, junior brother."

Shang Zonghai pursed his lips, walked forward and sat down, leaning on the back of the chair and teasing in a deep voice, "Even if it's not something I touched, it's not difficult to cripple your legs."

In an instant, the cup in Xiao Hongdao's hand cracked again.

This time, it was not deterrence, but anger.

It is true that Xiao Hongdao's legs are bad, and he is indeed inextricably linked with Shang Zonghai.

Shang Zonghai looked at the cracked purple sand cup in his hand, and said with a calm smile: "What? Reminds you of something sad?"

One chapter will be released first, and the others are still being written. Don’t wait, go to bed early and read it tomorrow.
