Chapter 1026 Using Sympathy
"etc!"
"Little girl, stay!"
"Kid, don't get carried away!"
Almost at the same time, three calls to stay sounded out in unison. Jiu Jianxian and Lin Nantian couldn't hold their breath anymore and broke the silence and spoke at the same time.
The three people spoke together, and couldn't help but look at each other and confirm their eyes. Jiujianxian stepped forward and said: "Didn't your father want to save you out of the tower but failed? Let us take you out of the tower, too. To compensate for our mistake of accidentally killing your father."
Among the three, Jiujianxian was the most powerful and had the highest status. Even though Lin Tiannan was the leader of the martial arts alliance, he was still a few levels behind the number two figure in the Xianxia sect.
If you want to protect a female ghost and leave the Demon Locking Tower, without any face or influence, you really can't get past the group of heroes blocking the door.
Li Xiaoyao is still young, and if he abducts a female ghost out of the tower, people will suspect that he is obsessed with beauty. Lin Tiannan's status is not low, but he is an ordinary warrior and has no say in the affairs of ghosts and gods.
Only Jiujianxian, a semi-immortal figure recognized in the martial world, can more easily win people's trust by enlightening a female ghost.
Therefore, he took the lead and made a promise that neither Li Xiaoyao nor Lin Tiannan could make.
This was originally good news, but the little ghost girl did not show her happiness. Instead, she said blankly: "Why did you take me out of the tower? Daddy wants to kill you. He is not as skilled as others, but he is killed by you. He is the one who is wrong. You don't What do you owe me?"
"Tsk, tsk! This kid of yours was born in the mud, but it's rare to have a heart as pure as a lotus flower."
The Jiujianxian said with emotion: "The old Taoist liked you and felt that you were a talent that could be developed. It was a pity to leave you to fend for yourself in the tower, so I wanted to rescue you. It also fulfilled your late father's dream."
The little female ghost hesitated and said timidly: "But... I have become accustomed to the life in the tower. When I go outside, I am unfamiliar with the people and the place, and there are ferocious human races everywhere... I am afraid that I will live better alone than in the tower." It’s still miserable in the tower.”
The Jiujianxian was quite surprised and thought based on common sense. The Demon Locking Tower was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, a place more terrifying than hell. When she heard that someone was willing to take her out, the little female ghost should have been overjoyed, but she didn't expect that she would shrink back.
The little female ghost sighed and said: "I once dreamed of escaping from the tower and gaining freedom, but that was when daddy was alive. He could protect me, teach me things outside, and travel with me, but he is already dead... This In this case, it is better to stay in the tower than to go out."
Jiujianxian was stunned again. After thinking about it, he felt that what the little ghost girl said made sense. Looking at the outside world from her perspective, it was not a free paradise, but filled with registered heroes of the League of Legends who enjoyed killing monsters and monsters. "dangerous place".
If she were taken out of the tower and released, then this innocent and weak little female ghost would be like a lamb thrown into a tiger's den, and she would die tragically at the hands of a hero in a short time.
Death may not be a bad idea, but if you meet a Taoist priest from the Maoshan sect or Longhu Mountain, you may be captured and sealed, enslaved and controlled as a Yuling spirit, and will never be free.
Gritting his teeth, Jiujianxian decided to take responsibility and said in a deep voice: "My child, don't be afraid. The old Taoist will take care of you after you go out! At worst, the old Taoist will accept you as a disciple... Well, the Shushan sect's rules do not allow you to accept demons as disciples... …Let’s do this, I’ll accept you as my adopted daughter! Senior Uncle Chang Ji has adopted a monster as his adopted son, there is a precedent, so I’ll learn from my old ways and my uncle will also adopt a daughter from the ghost tribe, so that he can answer the questions easily when my senior brother is held accountable.”
Chang Ji was Nangong Huang's adoptive father. He was a disciple of Chang's generation in Shushan. Because Shushan had a sect rule prohibiting accepting demons as disciples, he adopted Nangong Huang as his adopted son and took good care of him as his own.
Jiu Jianxian was also worried that he would be punished by his senior brother Dugu Yuyun if he violated the rules of the ghost tribe by accepting a disciple from the ghost clan. He ordered him to expel the little female ghost from Shushan, but it didn't matter if he accepted an adopted daughter. There was a precedent set by Master Chang Ji, so he was not afraid of Dugu Yuyun. After questioning, the little female ghost can even be allowed to live in Shushan for shelter, just like Nangong Huang did back then.
The little ghost girl said in astonishment: "You want to accept me as your adopted daughter?"
Jiujianxian nodded, stroked his beard and said: "My child, if you don't mind the slovenliness of the old Taoist, just call me dad. In this way, you can stay in Shushan, and the old Taoist can take care of you... But, I, the old Taoist, I'm not very good at taking care of others, I can't even take care of myself, hahaha..."
The little ghost girl's frosty expression finally changed, and she was stunned with a hint of surprise. She murmured: "Except for dad, no one has ever been so kind to me..."
As she said this, she walked stiffly, as if reluctantly, but had to step forward. She came to the Jiujianxian with difficult steps, slowly stretched out her arms, and hugged her very mechanically. The drunk Taoist priest tried his best to pose like a bird clinging to someone, trying to show his admiration.
There was no other way. The Heavenly Ghost Emperor was helpless. Under the command of Director Luo, he forced himself to complete this set of actions.
The Heavenly Ghost King's movements were stiff and his performance was poor, and the Jiujianxian was not much better.
Jiu Jianxian did not expect that the little girl would react like this. He said that accepting the adopted daughter was probably out of expediency, and he wanted to give the little ghost a title, like Nangong Huang, who obtained the right of residence in Shushan.
This old man has not been close to women for most of his life. Suddenly, a young girl with a good figure jumped into his arms, holding two soft things on his chest. He was also very embarrassed and uncomfortable, but he could not push her away. Afraid of breaking her heart.
The little girl wanted to express her daughter's affection for her father and find a ray of warmth and comfort in the cold and cruel world. If Jiu Jianxian pushed her away roughly, it would show that his sophisticated thoughts were impure, and he would try to hide it too much. Pretentious, Third Lai seems to dislike her being from the ghost clan and being too unconventional.
The stiff "father and daughter" hugged each other, and after a while they separated stiffly. They looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds. It took a lot of effort for the little girl to squeeze out the word "Dad" from between her teeth. .
When Jiujianxian heard her shouting, his heart softened inexplicably. This old Taoist was an old drunkard who had been alone for most of his life. When he was young, he also had a love affair that ended in nothing. Later, as he got older, his Taoism became more and more sophisticated. His character became more and more indifferent, and he gradually forgot his feelings.
But he happens to be a Taoist priest with six impure roots. He likes to drink, likes to make friends, and is very humane. He can't completely forget his feelings. Deep down in his heart, he still has a longing for emotion. Now he suddenly experiences the bond of "family affection" and feels that there is something. The child relied on him, and the feeling was like drinking fine wine, feeling a little tipsy.
Not to mention, the feeling of having family is really good. It is novel and warm, which greatly dispels the loneliness.
"Hey...good girl..."
Jiu Jianxian was a little at a loss and didn't feel comfortable with it. He stretched out his hand stiffly and patted the little female ghost on the head. In fact, he was not very good at expressing feelings and was a little clumsy like the little female ghost.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor committed himself to being the daughter of Jiujianxian. Of course he was not happy, but it was the best entry point for revenge.
Among the three major enemies, the one that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor cared about the most, hated the most, and wanted to deal with the most was the Jiujianxian. This old Taoist swordsman and Taoist master were the most advanced, and he used the heaviest force when killing the Heavenly Ghost Emperor.
Li Xiaoyao may be a handsome young man, and Lin Tiannan is a handsome old man who is more attractive to women than a slovenly old man. However, Tiangui Emperor is not a woman, and his purpose is not to seduce handsome men. Among the three old, middle-aged and young people, they are the most attractive. What attracted her was this sloppy old man.
The ghost clan respects the strong and values strength more than age and appearance. Therefore, among the three people, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor is most interested in Jiu Sword Immortal.
After hearing that Jiu Jianxian said that he wanted to accept her as his adopted daughter, he suppressed his dissatisfaction, followed Director Luo's instructions, and completed this clumsy and embarrassing recognition scene.
Being able to sneak into Jiujianxian and become his adopted daughter would make it easier, whether she secretly learn Shushan swordsmanship to improve herself, or secretly poison him. This is what the little ghost girl really wants in her heart.
