Tang Ming had taken care of some random things before he had the time to look for Li Hu.

Li Hu was tied up by Luo Ling in the woodshed.

Tang Ming walked into the house, looked at Li Hu, who was tied up like a dumpling, and then looked at Luo Ling, who had a face full of praise. He inexplicably thought of Du Huang, who was tied up in the Residence of He.

Furthermore, Tang Ming was also very curious as to how Luo Ling managed to turn the rope used to tie him into a gunny sack …

"Oh …" Luo Ling looked at Li Hu, who was tied up like a caterpillar, and felt that this was pretty good. He really didn't know why his senior brother was dissatisfied.

"Puff —"

When Hua Yu walked in and saw Li Hu's appearance, she laughed without giving him any face, "Brother Luo, your cooking skills are absolute!"

Seeing Hua Yu's thumbs up, Luo Ling was so angry that his face turned red, "None of your business!"

Tang Ming did not care about the two bickering. He walked in front of Li Hu, removed the stinky socks in Li Hu's mouth, and ignored the frightened and innocent look on his face. "Come out. I know you can freely switch between them. Even Doctor Li is not here."

Li Hu silently lowered his head and looked at Tang Ming as if he was a completely different person.

"How old are you?" Tang Ming seemed to be talking about family matters as he sat on the floor, giving Li Hu the feeling that he was just chatting.

Although he knew Li Hu's age, Tang Ming didn't ask how old Li Hu was, but how long this child had been here for.

"…" Li Hu turned his head, "Eleven years old."

"When I was one year old, I was still a child." Tang Ming looked at Li Hu. "Do you know what you're doing?"

Li Hu didn't say anything, but Tang Ming didn't mind. "Have you seen the current village before? Do you know how many people there are who have nothing because of you?"

"What does that have to do with me?" Li Hu's expression was ferocious and his face was filled with hatred. "They were obviously the ones at fault. I only had revenge, what did I do wrong!"

"It's clearly not my fault. Why did you want to capture me? Why didn't you go and capture them? Ah, why?" Li Hu struggled in anger, and the more he said it, the more excited he became: "Why didn't you guys care about them when they threw me the stone? Why did you guys ignore me in the middle of the night in the tiger forest? Why did you guys care about me just asking for justice for yourself? You guys came to capture me! I clearly didn't do anything wrong, I didn't do anything wrong!"

Luo Ling who was arguing with Hua Yu stopped. Looking at Li Hu, who was crying like a little kitten, with tears streaming down his face, Li Hu looked funny. But it was weird. Luo Ling couldn't laugh at all.

"Yeah, why?" Tang Ming lowered his head and smiled with extreme helplessness. "I also want to know why."

When Li Hu heard Tang Ming's words, he forgot to cry and stared blankly at Tang Ming.

"Do you know, I once had a senior brother." Tang Ming stood up. "Later on, he died because he and I could only live together. My master chose to protect me and sacrificed himself for Senior Brother. At that time, I also asked Master why."

"Do you know what my master said at that time?" Tang Ming narrowed his eyes, "He said that there are so many reasons in this world, but it just so happened that you met them yourself. It just so happened that the choice you made was destined to lead to someone else's tragedy."

"Because of you, the villagers of the Li family village either died or fled. From your perspective, they deserve to die. From their perspective, they didn't do any unforgivable evils and they are going to be punished like this. Aren't they innocent?" Tang Ming stood up, and the flame of the candle flickered on his face. "It's just like back in the days when my sect was in a state of turmoil, and I had to sacrifice some of my disciples to protect them. Aren't those disciples innocent?"

Although Li Hu didn't understand what Tang Ming was talking about, he still felt that it was inexplicably heavy.

Luo Ling was at a loss of what to do, blinking his eyes. Luo Ling knew nothing about the things that Tang Ming had said.

"Brother Tang, you must have heard about the Eastern Calamity that ended thirteen years ago, right?" Seeing the confusion on Luo Ling's face, Hua Yu finally opened her mouth and said: "At that time, you probably haven't been accepted as a disciple by Venerable Ancient God and also haven't experienced this calamity. Brother Tang is different from you."

After saying that, Hua Shu looked at Luo Ling with a bit of jealousy: "That's why I said, good luck."

Luo Ling looked at her in bewilderment.

Tang Ming patted Luo Ling's head: "I've been tired all day. Have a good rest. Be good."

Luo Ling sniffled, feeling disgusted with himself again.

Hua Yu laughed, thinking that this pair of junior and junior brothers were really funny. "Right, children should be properly rested. You don't need to worry about matters concerning adults, be good."

Luo Ling's expression immediately turned ferocious, "Flower Butterfly, if you want to die, just say so."

"Hey, hey, your senior brother can talk like that, but I can't talk like that. Wait, what kind of sword are you taking out? Wow, wow, wow, wow, you're killing people. Don't you care about Tang Ming?" Although Hua Yu was covering his head and scurrying around, his face didn't show the slightest trace of panic. Although the way he dodged looked thrilling, it was a calculated action. Tang Ming took a glance and didn't pay any attention to it.

Tang Ming, who had neglected Hua Yu, who was only sixteen, rubbed his neck. He thought that after this matter was over, he should take his junior brother for a stroll.

"Pa —"

The sound of a heavy object dropping made Tang Ming turn around abruptly. He saw Li Hu cut open the rope and threw a small ball towards the ground. "All of you, go and die!"

Since they did not know what it was, Tang Ming and Hua Yu quickly covered their noses and quickly left the house. As Tang Ming left, he did not forget to instruct Luo Ling, who did not have any reaction, "Capture the child!"

"Huh?" Luo Ling was stunned, "Okay senior brother!"

Retreating out of the house, Tang Ming discovered a black line appearing on his hand. He frowned, "This is …" "A thread of sky?"

It was known as one of the two great poisons of the Holy Sect alongside the Worryfree Water. Even this was taken out? Was the Holy Sect's Sect Leader crazy?

Unlike the Worryfree Water, which was a deadly poison, the One Line Heaven was a poison that specifically targeted martial arts geniuses, and it was also the poison that the various sects and schools disliked the most.

After all, the juniors were the hope of the sect, especially those geniuses. The sect had spent a lot of manpower and resources to train them, and they were simply cutting off the roots of these sects.

Hua Yu looked at the black line on his hand, but didn't feel that it was going to be very troublesome.

The main toxicity of this poison was to block the meridians of martial artists. Once a martial artist circulated their inner force, not only would it be extremely painful, but it would also harm their meridians, and even their roots.

The Pure Wind House had a rare herb that was naturally raised called the Blue Lotus Seed. After consuming it, it would have the effect of cleansing the marrow, eliminating all toxins in the body and improving a martial artist's aptitude.

Feng Tian took out a thread of information that he probably didn't want to come to the Li family village to investigate.

Not to mention Tang Ming, even himself, if he really wanted a Blue Lotus Seed, it would be because of his master's mouth.

While he was thinking, Luo Ling carried Li Hu and brought him up from his room. His expression was not very good.
