Chapter 8 God of Gamblers Chapter 17 Malice

These words made Ruan Zhanteng rise like thunder.

Last time when he was dealing with the demon child, the Blood Wood Sword burst out with a dazzling red light when he approached his father. At that time, he felt uneasy because it meant that his father had a strong anger. But he was unwilling to believe this. His father could abandon him or betray him, but he could never be a great evil person. That would cause his inner spiritual world to collapse and all his dependencies and beliefs would disappear!

When he was a child, he refused to learn Taoism in order to attract his father's attention, but his father never forced him to write down many magic tricks, allowing him to slowly practice when he grew up. His father once said: Tao follows nature, and we must promote evil with good.

Over the years, although he has treated the world indifferently and understood that the things in this world are too complicated and cannot be distinguished by simple good and evil, he has always had a clear boundary in his heart. If his father was a person with great evil, how would he deal with himself?!

The Blood Wood Sword will not lie!

He stretched out his hand and took out the broken banner. He felt like he was being fried in his heart. He pretended to have no expression on his face. He took the two evil spirits into the banner. He could not let them see any clues, otherwise he would not know how many things would happen. But when he thought about it carefully, his father was wronged because of his kindness, and a few days ago, he tried his best to give them a chance to reform himself. How could he be a great evil person?

"Where is my father? Tell me." He asked coldly.

The scattered banner trembled, but there was no answer.

"Why force me to torture me? The most important thing you said, do you still care about these small details? If I had to come and look for it myself, you would have to pay the corresponding price for how long I would look for it. Otherwise, I might consider giving you a pleasure. It is impossible to let you go. You know how much blood debt you have, you know." Ruan Zhan did not want to let them go in exchange for information, because although it was a hostile side, he was unwilling to use deception methods.

"He is in a secret cave under the valley on the left, and there is a dead locust tree not far from the entrance of the cave." After a long time, the voice of the three-inch golden lotus came out, "Are you sure you want to see him? Maybe you won't be able to stand it. Auntie loves you, and I kindly reminded you!" After that, she laughed.

"Thank you for your concern." Ruan Zhan's unemotional voice disappointed the two evil spirits in the banner, but they had no chance to speak again, because Ruan Zhan had already sealed the banner and put it away, and walked towards the mountain without hesitation.

The location of the secret cave is easy to find, because the mountain is bare and the dead locust tree seems to be particularly prominent. However, although I found the location, I searched for the entrance of the cave for a long time but couldn't find it. Ruan Zhan searched through piles of rocks and bunch of weeds that could survive anywhere, but there was still no clue.

Did my father set up a barrier outside the cave entrance? But why can it be unobstructed? Is it an invisible barrier that cannot be discovered with his skills?

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhan took out the Destruction Seal. It was something that could break all barriers. He took it just in case, but he didn't expect it to be used.

When the spell was recited, the destruction was printed. A crisp sound came from the air. Unlike the previous sound of glass shattering, this sound was like a bird's singing. When it made a sound, people's hearts jumped up. Then, a trace of faint black air was emitted faintly under a tent of grass. Ruan Zhan knew that the hole was behind it, but when he found out that there was a bad breath, it made Ruan Zhan's already twisted heart even more unable to let go.

The cave was very dark, and a paper of light spells filled with cold light, guiding Ruan Zhan’s footsteps in the air; the cave was also very deep, and it seemed to be bent through the entire abdomen of the mountain, which was beyond imagination outside the cave; the cave was still very clean, proving that not only were people rarely visited, but even animals rarely came. This is the real secret place, and it feels extremely mysterious.

With a "bang", the light talisman suddenly ignited and then went out, and the cave fell into pitch black.

Ruan Zhan stood still, feeling abnormality, and his heart immediately felt aching.

"I'm here, why don't you see me?"

After a while, he sighed in the darkness, "Do you know everything?"

"The two evil spirits only said one thing, I'll come to ask clearly." Ruan Zhan knew that his father didn't want him to get close, so he didn't step forward and simply stood there and told the truth.

After a while of speechlessness, several talismans rose into the air, which was much brighter than what Ruan Zhan had cast, illuminating the innermost corner of the cave. Under the light, an old man sat cross-legged on the ground. At first glance, he looked as lonely and desolate as those sitting on the roadside and in the park, and was discarded there like the rags that no one wanted.

Ruan Zhan almost never cried, but at this moment, he was so sad that he wanted to cry. He blamed his father for not giving him fatherly love, but when did he give his father and son love? Even if he was really his adoptive father, he should have been filial! At that time, he was too young and stubborn, and hated everything in this world, but now he is powerless to save it.

Only today did he realize that the son wanted to support his parents but his parents were not here, which was a great pain in life!

"Why?" he asked, because he saw clearly the black aura wrapped around his father's body, which was aura that only caused great evil. When he saw it, he was so surprised that he almost lost his mind. The evil aura was too strong that he could not resolve it or suppress it!

"Don't ask. You will understand one day. But this is indeed my fault. I overestimated my ability and couldn't blame others." Ruan's father said slowly, his eyes rolling around Ruan Zhan, and a loving look appeared in his eyes.

He loved this child very much, but for that destined day, he could not love him, otherwise everything would be irreversible.

"No, I have to know why?" Ruan Zhan said stubbornly. It was the first time he was so excited since he was a child. "You don't care about me, but I can't ignore you."

"We father and son have always been no matter who we are. Don't worry too much." Ruan's father's eyes turned and turned into indifference.

"Since he has done evil, why should he dispel his anger?" His father's refusal made him feel heartbroken, but he firmly believed that his father had a hidden secret. If he was really a villain, why should he dispel his anger? He had been in the cave for only a moment and felt uncomfortable. Why did his father suffer alone here? Judging from the anger around him, no one could stop him, so why should he ask for trouble?!

"Do you know why I came here? Do you know why Tietou Mountain is so deserted?" Ruan's father replied dyingly: "It's a pity that I never taught you Feng Shui when you were a child. But at that time you resisted everything and taught you, you would not learn it. You must know that there is a treasure land of Lingshan, where there is a place where there is a natural spiritual energy or where there is a place where there is a place where there is a strange place on the earth, the mountains and rivers. It has no spiritual energy, and cannot gather energy, but a place where there is a deflated atmosphere. Now you understand why this mountain is so bare?

All things and wild beasts like to grow in places with abundant spiritual energy. It would be fine if there is no such benefit here, but it will leak out. Do you think there are other rare animals here? Even the shape of the mountain is evil. Of course, there are spiritual places in poor mountains and bad waters, but that is in some general environments. Here, it should be like spring all year round, but it cannot make the mountains and waters beautiful. It is not the environment, but the spiritual energy." He said slowly, as if an old man taught his son to learn, suddenly reminded Ruan Zhan of his childhood, but he immediately returned to reality.

"You didn't answer my question."

Ruan's father had no choice but to nod, "That's right. I'm venting my anger."

"Are you so entangled when you practice? Or have you been involved in some evil trick?"

"None of them." Ruan's father shook his head and suddenly reached out to Ruan Zhan. Before Ruan Zhan could react, he felt the backpack on his back move, and a metal light flashed, and the broken flag had already reached Ruan's father's hands.

Holding the small metal banner in his hand, Ruan's father gently stroked it, as if he was extremely reluctant to give up the magic weapon that had been with him for many years. This made Ruan Zhan even more puzzled - he loved everything so much, why couldn't he give himself a little fatherly love? Why? Is there a reason?

"These two are really anomalies." Ruan's father said, stretched out his hand and easily captured two evil spirits from the broken banner that Ruan Zhan added to the restricted one. At this moment, they were not the original image, but two light white balls of light, which were pressed by Ruan's father and fell into the stone wall.

"I didn't expect that they kept staring at me secretly, but I didn't notice it. Finally, they let them know my secret and led you here." He sighed slightly, "I am dead, and it's better that I'm not seen."

"Don't avoid the important things, tell me the truth!"

"Leave these two for me. I will solve the wrong things I did by myself. You go." Ruan's father still talked to himself and did not answer Ruan Zhan's question at all.

"You can't help but say it, because it's related to me. Even if you don't want my son, you have to tell me what's going on in the Three Kingdoms?" Ruan Zhan was mixed with feelings. He didn't know how to inquire about the inside story or persuaded his stubborn father. He had to change the topic, "I have someone I love very much, I can't die, I want to be with her!"

When he said it, not only Ruan Tianyi, but also Ruan Zhan himself was stunned. This was the first time he said this in his heart for a long time.

Ruan Tianyi looked at Ruan Zhan for a while and sighed almost inauspiciously. He treated his son like that just to make him feel cold, because the mission he was born was like this, and he could not fall into emotional entanglements with others. Wanli was an exception, and it was a trace of human warmth left to his son when he was soft-hearted, but he didn't expect that his son could still not escape the word "love". It's okay to fall in love, but he actually fell into it. This is not good for him, and it can only add to pain. Is the fate of this child really that heavy?

"Is it the girl named Yue?" He narrowed his eyes and recalled the hurrying sight carefully. "It's very cute. Unfortunately, you can't escape the difficulties of three, which is destined, unless a miracle happens. But you can't count on miracles."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that you will only harm her when you are with her. Let it go! If you really like her so much, you should think about her, or if you really have a miracle, you will go to her before you find her. At that time, everything can be saved, better than the future. The girl looked like a fierce temperament. She was so anxious that she could do anything, right?"

Ruan Zhan's heart trembled because he knew his father was right. He suppressed his love for Xiaoxia, but if the relationship could be controlled, it was not a real relationship. So he wanted to survive the three difficulties, and all this was for Xiaoxia. Now that his father had cut off his hopes in person, would he still fight? Or would he give up. His father was right. Xiaoxia's wildfire-like personality can do everything.

"Don't hide it now." He said slowly, not daring to look at his father, "Tell me the truth, I will judge whether to give up on her. Don't tell me what the secrets cannot be revealed, and don't say it's for my own good. This is fate or something. I should bear it. I can't escape. At least I have the right to know why this is my destiny." After he said that, he sat down, as if his father would never leave without saying it.

Ruan Tianyi had never seen Ruan Zhan like this. He deliberately cultivated his son's indifferent personality to a certain extent. Since he was a child, he has shown indifference to everything that is inconsistent with his age and never forced anything. What made him look like today? Perhaps this child is a passionate personality, but he was tortured by him and hid himself?!

Well, since he had ruined his own flesh and blood for that matter, why not tell his son the cruel facts with his mouth. This was something he had always avoided, fearing that his son's pain and torture would increase before that day came, but accidents occurred frequently, and all the things forced him to do so.

"Your difficulty in the three is destined, because I have repeatedly calculated that there will be strange celestial phenomena on that day. This is not the astronomical phenomenon that people often say, so it is something that people cannot feel. Only those who have reached a certain level of practice can know it. On this day, if you want to do something, this thing will kill you 100% - do you still have to listen?" Ruan Tianyi asked.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death.

Ruan Zhan's face was pale and nodded. When he heard his destined fate, he had a strange feeling, as if that day had appeared in front of his eyes. With his father's slow voice, he saw his past and future bit by bit. It turned out that the meaning of his life was so ridiculous; it turned out that he could never escape!

"What if I don't do this?" he asked.

But before his father answered, he vetoed himself. He had to do this because he was born for this. Besides, how could he bear to let go? In that case, even if he was sorry for his father, it would eventually put Xiaoxia, Wanli, and even Bao Datong in danger.

It’s better to be the only one who will bear it!

Knowing that my father would not leave here, and knowing that because the cracks of the mountain were not filled and would not stop his father from venting his anger, Ruan Zhan left alone. He did not say goodbye, because the father and son would meet on that day, but in that case, was it still considered meeting?

He wandered in Jinshi Town for a few days and finally went back. Although he still had to treat Xiaoxia coldly and hurt her heart, in this last day, he had to look at her, breathe her, and feel her. He was reluctant to spend the last time with her. It would be the most painful but happiest time in his life.
