Chapter 123 The Man Who Saved Hong
The old woman looked at Hong deeply, without any extra explanation, turned around and went outside the church to greet the nobles.
At this time, the nobles' carriages had stopped outside the church, and those bigwigs were walking into the church under the guidance of the old woman.
Qin Yangming knew that this was not the place to take action.
"Ming, go back first!"
Hong said that there was no point in staying here any longer, even though this result was very unfair to her.
Qin Yangming thought about it and felt that taking action in such a place was not a wise choice, even though the result was very unfair.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!
Hong was in a very bad mood and took Qin Yangming back home.
When they walked to the door, they heard voices coming from inside.
It was grandma's voice and a man's magnetic voice.
Hong seemed to remember something. She had heard this voice before.
Qin Yangming saw a hint of joy on Hong's face.
Pushing open the door, Qin Yangming saw that the person sitting opposite his grandmother was a man in his thirties. He was well-dressed, had a relaxed demeanor and looked very mature.
Especially the bulging muscles under his loose clothes, which seemed to contain great strength.
"It's you!"
Hong said excitedly.
She turned to Qin Yangming and explained happily:
"This is the person who saved me back then! He's my benefactor!"
Qin Yangming remembered that Hong once said that there was a "dog" that wanted to pull her into the alley, and then a man appeared and saved her.
Is this the man in front of him? Qin Yangming looked at him, and to his surprise, he felt a wave of extraordinary power from the man who smiled at him.
Qin Yangming immediately concluded that this person was definitely a Sequencer, and his rank was not low.
Hong was very excited. She didn't expect to see him again after several years. She diligently brought him a glass of water.
But the man's face looked a little unhappy. He stared straight at Qin Yangming and asked Hong:
"Who is this……"
Grandma answered before Hong did, saying:
"He's a neighbor's kid. He's been coming over to help us with the heavy work lately. As you know, we're both old, weak, and disabled, and we can't do anything..."
The man's expression relaxed and he kept praising Qin Yangming, calling him a good boy who loved to help others.
Qin Yangming looked at the kind-faced man and felt a chill in his heart.
Having entered the [Red Dust Way] for some time, he can keenly feel the man's true emotions at the moment.
Disgust, malice, like an insidious poisonous snake, lurks in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow.
The man in front of me is definitely not a good person.
The man continued talking to the grandmother, and the topic was always led by the man, and unknowingly they talked about the test of the followers.
Hong said aggrievedly:
"I'm not on the list, but my..."
"Cough cough!"
Hong was interrupted by Qin Yangming before she could finish her complaint. Qin Yangming interrupted her and said:
"I'm going to fetch some water, Hong, where is your bucket? Take me there to get it!"
The man watched Hong follow Qin Yangming out of the house and asked his grandmother:
"What are your plans after Hong?"
Grandma shook her head helplessly. What plans could a poor family like theirs have?
"Old man, I have a rare job here that is quite suitable for Hong."
The man's eyes flickered as he looked at the gray-haired grandmother and said.
When Wang Hong and Qin Yangming came back, they found that the atmosphere in the house seemed a little wrong.
Qin Yangming took a look at his grandmother's state of mind: panic, fear, and helplessness.
There must be something wrong. The man stood up, smiled, bowed slightly, and said to grandma:
"Old man, I'll go out and do something first, and come back to pick up Hong later."
"You can pack your luggage first, but it's best not to bring too much luggage, because there is everything there."
The commanding tone left no room for doubt. He smiled at Hong again and walked straight out of the house.
"Ah! Take care..."
Hong didn't expect the man to leave so hastily, so she hurried to the door to see him off.
The man smiled and indicated that it was not necessary. He then disappeared into the alley with a brisk pace.
Hong returned to the house, but saw that her grandmother was behaving out of character. She first walked to the door vigilantly, and then closed the door tightly after confirming that no one was there.
Qin Yangming and Hong saw that when grandma sat on the bed, a look of worry immediately appeared on her face.
"It's over..."
She said in a very low voice.
Hong asked in confusion:
"Grandma, what's wrong? Did your benefactor say anything to you?"
Grandma was frightened, her eyes flickered, and she said:
"Hong, did you fail the exam?"
Hong nodded. She hadn’t had time to tell her grandmother about this yet.
Grandma said:
"Sure enough, it is indeed the case!"
Hong was even more confused. With Qin Yangming's strength, she could obviously be ranked in the top 40. Why could it only be like this?
Grandma looked at Hong and Qin Yangming in panic and said:
"You know what? You will definitely fail the exam, because you can't become a dog no matter what!"
"You have already been chosen as the sheep!"
"People like you who are free-range outside are all "wild sheep" selected by a certain noble family!"
"They just wait until you come of age, and then..."
Hong opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't know what a "sheep" was, nor did she know what a "wild sheep" was. But she could feel from the frightened look on her grandmother's face that her fate would be very dangerous.
"He's not a benefactor, he's a shepherd!"
"He is a dog that specifically looks after the wild sheep that roam freely outside. So he didn't save you out of kindness, but just to keep an eye on you so that you won't be violated by others..."
Qin Yangming could understand what his grandmother said, and he immediately figured out the key.
It turned out to be the case.
Grandma said to Qin Yangming fearfully:
"Sheep never have a good ending. They are cruelly killed when the nobles get tired of playing with them..."
At this time, Hong was so scared that her face turned pale. She took a few steps back and sat down on the bed, her face full of despair.
So, even if she really made it into the top 40, she would never be able to become a dog...
Just then, there were steady footsteps coming from outside the door.
The man is back, and he came back so soon.
The man walked straight to the door. He first tried to push it open, but found that the door seemed to be locked. Then he started knocking on the door.
"Old man, why is the door still locked?"
Grandma shouted anxiously in the house:
"Oh, let's change our clothes and lock the door!"
The man outside the house began to become a little irritated, and he said:
"Okay, no need to change clothes, I told you there's everything there!"
Qin Yangming looked through the window and saw the bulging blue veins on the man's forehead.
"Clap!"
With a crisp sound, the old and fragile door lock was twisted off by the man with one hand, and then the door was pushed open by the man with a bang.
The man's face was cold as he examined everything in the room. Finally, his murderous gaze fell on Qin Yangming.
"Why are you still here?"
"Are you related to Hong?"
The man pulled out a thin steel whip from behind.
"I don't care who you are, no man is allowed to be around Hong!"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm a [torturer]."
"So, are you ready to be tortured by me?"
Qin Yangming remembered that this was the [Torturer] sequence of the eighth step of the evil path of the [Arbitrator] sequence.
