1417: C1417 The Peach Tree Has Discovered the Secret

C1417 The Peach Tree Has Discovered the Secret

Elder Jian Yun was standing behind Emaciated Old Man with a solemn expression. He said in a cold voice, "How dare you hurt my niece Shi Taotao? You are courting death. Let me send you on your way."

After saying that, Elder Jian Yun suddenly pulled out his sharp sword and kicked Emaciated Old Man to the ground.

"You..."

Emaciated Old Man fell to the ground and stared at Elder Jian Yun. He pointed at Elder Jian Yun with his right hand as if he couldn't believe it. The first word that came out of his mouth caused his eyes to become lifeless. His life force quickly dissipated, and finally, it completely disappeared.

As an Innate Stage Awakened, the Fire Devil Venerable Body that Emaciated Old Man had comprehended was also very powerful. It would be a pity if he died in Dark Bog Jungle just like that.

After pulling out the long sword and sheathing it, Elder Jian Yun turned his head around and looked at Shi Taotao and Wang Xiao. A smile appeared on his face as he asked, "Are you guys alright?"

"Elder Jian Yun, why did you kill him?"

Shi Taotao looked dissatisfied and said to Elder Jian Yun.

"Didn't I see that this person wanted to hurt you, so I rushed over to protect you? What's wrong? Is there a problem? "

When Elder Jian Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. A puzzled expression appeared on his face as he asked.

"Elder Jian Yun, we are going to ask who sent him to kill me. If you kill him now, all the clues will be lost!"

Shi Taotao said angrily to Elder Jian Yun.

"What? It's like this? Sorry, niece Shi Taotao. I didn't think that you guys had already subdued him. It was my recklessness."

Elder Jian Yun's face revealed a trace of shock when he heard her words. He hurriedly apologized.

"Elder Jian Yun..." Shi Taotao originally wanted to say something, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, a large hand stretched out from the side and stopped her.

The person who stopped her was Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao shook his head at Shi Taotao and said, "Forget it, Shi Taotao. Elder Jian Yun is here to protect you. If you kill him, then kill him. This matter has come to an end!"

"But..." Shi Taotao wanted to say something but when the words reached her mouth, she noticed Wang Xiao's serious gaze and could only swallow it back.

At this time, Wang Xiao turned his head and looked at Elder Jian Yun. He said, "Elder Jian Yun, I do not know the background of these awakened ones who ambushed us. Besides, there are many powerful ones among them. Do you think you are the one who attacked them? Repel them? "

"The current situation of the enemy is unclear. Furthermore, they seem to be coming for Shi Taotao. I should stay by Shi Taotao's side to better protect her."

Elder Jian Yun heard this and said with a serious expression.

"No need. Elder Jian Yun, you have seen my strength just now. It is more than enough for me to protect Shi Taotao. You are an elder of Awakened Guild. I don't think they want to see the guild lose any Awakened, do they?"

Wang Xiao's lips curved up into a smile as he said to Elder Jian Yun.

His attitude was very firm. That was, as long as Shi Taotao was protected by him, it would be fine. As an elder of Awakened Main Guild, if too many of the awakened ones died here, it would be hard for you to absolve yourself from the blame.

"This..."

Sure enough, upon hearing Wang Xiao's words, Elder Jian Yun revealed a hesitant expression.

"Elder Jian Yun, it's fine. With Wang Xiao protecting me, I will be fine. The Awakened ones in the guild are more important."

Shi Taotao who was at the side also spoke, agreeing.

"Alright then. Wang Xiao brat, I will leave Shi Taotao's niece to you to protect. If anything happens to her, I will use you to ask."

Seeing that Shi Taotao had already said so, Elder Jian Yun could only smile and speak.

After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the awakened ones who had launched the sneak attack.1

No one noticed that the instant Elder Jian Yun turned around, his face immediately became gloomy.

Only after Elder Jian Yun left this place and joined the battlefield did the huge rock in Wang Xiao's heart relax a little.

"Wang Xiao, what exactly is going on? What do you know?"

At this moment, Shi Taotao suddenly walked to Wang Xiao's side and asked him in a low voice.

"Shi Taotao, what do you mean? I don't really understand."

Hearing Shi Taotao's words, Wang Xiao couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, but his expression was still very calm. He deliberately revealed a puzzled expression and asked her back.

"Wang Xiao, don't pretend. I saw how alert you were to Elder Jian Yun just now. Why are you guarding against Elder Jian Yun? What exactly happened? "

Shi Taotao's face darkened slightly. She asked Wang Xiao word by word.

"Also, why did you insist on asking that Emaciated Old Man? Who was the one who wanted to assassinate me?"

"Do you know which force Emaciated Old Man and the awakened ones who attacked the camp were from?"

After Shi Taotao asked so many questions in a row, Wang Xiao's face showed a touch of embarrassment. He said, "Shi Taotao, you asked me so many questions in one breath. Which one do you want me to answer first?"

"Also, the questions you asked are very strange. I don't understand what you mean at all."

"You don't understand?" Seeing Wang Xiao pretending to be calm, the corner of Shi Taotao's mouth raised up and she said faintly, "That Emaciated Old Man, is he related to the Devil City Shi Family..."

Hiss...

Wang Xiao's expression changed slightly when he heard Shi Taotao's words. He asked reflexively, "How did you know?"

"I guessed." Shi Taotao's expression was indifferent as she lightly laughed.

"You can even guess that?" Wang Xiao's scalp was somewhat numb as he said.

"That Emaciated Old Man has so many guild leaders who did not launch a sneak attack, but instead went around the center of the camp and chose to attack me. One look and you can tell that his goal is not normal." Shi Taotao's lips curled up into a smile as she explained.

"I was wondering why Emaciated Old Man killed me."

"I am only the chairman of Stone City Awakened Guild. Even if I die, Stone City Awakened Guild will still elect a new chairman. My death will not affect Stone City."

"Besides being the chairman of Stone City Awakened Guild, I have another identity, the Direct Descendant of Devil City Shi Family."

"But why do these assassins want the life of this Direct Descendant of Devil City Shi Family? Whose interests will I affect?"

"Think about it carefully. The person who wants to kill me, this Direct Descendant, will only be someone from the inner circle of the Devil City Shi Family, because to the people of the outside world, I am insignificant!"

"I have also heard some rumors about Elder Jian Yun in the Awakened's headquarters. Therefore, they want to kill me in order to help Elder Jian Yun get rid of his relationship with them. They could also secretly steal the Ice Turtle and sacrifice an ordinary Direct Descendant at the same time. In exchange for the future of a high ranking official of the Devil City Shi Family in the Awakened Main Guild. It's worth it!"

At the end of her words, even Shi Taotao couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth into a sneer, laughing at herself.

As for Wang Xiao who was at the side, after hearing Shi Taotao's speculation, all the hairs on his body had already stood up.

This little girl usually looked like a vase, but she did not expect her IQ to be so high!
