Chapter 1506 Human Strain (Ten)

There are still experts!

At that moment, Eco, who had a strange expression because of the secret code before, looked in the direction of the voice and was shocked for a second.

On the one hand, it was because someone really responded, and on the other hand, it was because he had not noticed the person who responded before.

It was an old man who was even shorter than Jin Ning, and he was walking out from behind the door in almost the same posture.

Even the same brown hair and childlike face, although the style was much more exaggerated in comparison.

A graceful and bright red robe made the whole person look energetic.

Of course, what made him look even more energetic was the iron black crescent sword in his hand.

The handle was very short, the blade was bent into an exaggerated arc, and it was even cast with a palm-length spike.

Combined with the golden decoration, the overall look was heavy and ferocious, like a lamp stand removed from the wall.

The old man was indeed unrestrained and open-minded, and he actually used materials at hand.

After confirming that it was indeed the lamp stand removed from the wall, even though he was also a swordsman, Fu Qian was amazed at the realm where everything could be a sword.

Although it was a shape that he had seen countless times along the way, when it was in the hands of the old man, people could automatically ignore its original meaning and instead feel the destructive power in it.

It was obvious that, first, this was a swordsman master, and second, the master probably did not bring a handy weapon because of the banquet.

"Li He."

While admiring, the visitor had already walked up and greeted with a smile.

However, Ms. Jining, who was just experimenting with the secret code, seemed to be a little disgusted with his attitude. She snorted and turned her head away, so that the old man had to introduce himself.

...

Li, a swordsman master?

When Fu Qian heard this name, one of the many associations seemed to be lit up.

The former dean of the academy, the grandfather of Brother Li Weixuan?

The man who was half a step to half a god at a young age was indeed a family inheritance.

The old man Li He in front of us, in his current state, can't tell his depth. I'm afraid he is better than Jin Ning next to him.

However, despite this, his appearance here is more logical than the night-keeping demigod next to him.

After all, according to what Li Weixuan said when he first met him, the old man had retired and went on vacation early, even ignoring the fact that the academy was leaderless.

It is quite common for such retired people to participate in more social occasions.

But if that's the case, could it be that this person is also a former academy person?

After paying attention to Ms. Jin Ning calmly, Fu Qian was actually a little more curious about her relationship with Li He.

"Dean Li, you are also here for the banquet?"

As for Mr. Li, there was no need to greet him at all. The moment he appeared, the vanguard team member Ai Ke was already excited.

And her greeting at this time confirmed the guess in a second.

"I didn't want to come, but the invitation was too enthusiastic."

Li He laughed at Ai Ke's address, and even made a sword flower with the lantern stand in his hand, instantly confirming that he was also in the victim camp.

"So that's how it is... Did you two come together? But I didn't seem to see you at the party..."

In the blink of an eye, the sudden attack turned into two major helpers joining in, and Ai Ke did not hide her relief.

But in the blink of an eye, she thought of something and asked with some confusion.

"...That's because we were invited to see the newborn before we even had time to go to the party."

After hesitating for a while, and finding that Jining had no intention of answering, Li He coughed lightly and finally explained himself.

...

Being directly invited...

Ai Ke, who had been complaining about not being able to see the child before, felt that he was treated unfairly.

But the bad mood only lasted for a moment, and then he was excited.

"So you two have seen the newborn? Did you find anything unusual?"

During the special period, Ai Ke obviously no longer cared about the euphemism of the wording, and expressed her intention of this trip very directly.

It's a pity...

"Sorry, I didn't see it."

Li He didn't seem to be surprised at her intention at all, but just shook his head regretfully.

"On the way we were invited, the surroundings became what they are now."

It turned out to be like this...

At that moment, the disappointment on Ai Ke's face was beyond words.

I thought the answer was right in front of me, but who knew it was just another illusion.

"So you were originally going to..."

She didn't say anything, but it was Ms. Jin Ning who took the initiative to speak.

"Go see the newborn."

Seeing that Ai Ke's demigod was frustrated, Fu Qian answered for her and explained the previous situation.

At this time, the benefits of seeking truth from facts were reflected. Even though the person involved was right next to him, he still frankly described the decision-making process, and even showed the dark green color that had spread to most of his right hand.

"So in your opinion, the newborn who never showed up is the key to the problem."

The two seniors also listened carefully. After Fu Qian finished speaking, they looked at each other tacitly, and finally it was Jin Ning who spoke.

"In fact, we have similar views, including that this place is assimilating all the people in it, and that this road should have a limit."

...

"Then let's act immediately?"

At this time, Eco also recovered from his loss, and heard this recognition very straightforwardly.

Anyway, the difference in treatment is a thing of the past. Now this team can be said to have joined two absolutely powerful players, which is a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"Okay... We are also going to go there to take a look."

Jining's response was the same. The two teams that joined almost reached a consensus instantly, but...

"My lords, I'm sorry I have a small question."

However, just as everyone started, Fu Qian, who was almost the last one to fall behind, frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Why did you set a trap behind you? Do you have any idea to target something?"

... It seems a bit strange to say that.

Fu Qian's question did not affect the team's progress, but Eko, who was still the vanguard, was slightly stunned.

It is normal to use multiple defensive means when in danger, including the situation just now. It is also very simple.

Although Jining came to check the situation, Li He, who was hiding behind the door and concealing his breath, was the real killer.

If the two of them showed excessively inhuman characteristics, they might be attacked by the sword saint. This is actually the real danger just mentioned.

But now I think from another angle. It is not strange to actively look for abnormalities when in trouble, but setting a trap and waiting for the bait when there is nothing to see seems to be a little unreasonable.

Or maybe they didn't see nothing... They felt that something was following them? (End of this chapter)
