Chapter 94 How do you think she escaped?
The Sea God Pavilion Meeting.
Mu En sat at the head of the table, and the other elders and four deans took their seats in turn, except for Elder Xuan, who was seated at the head of the table to Mu En's left.
Mu En kept his eyes closed, and the atmosphere in the entire conference hall was somewhat somber. Everyone's expression was extremely gloomy, with Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er showing the most anxiety and worry.
"Everyone's here, let's begin the meeting. Let me describe the situation first."
Moon opened his eyes, scanned the crowd, and spoke in a somewhat hoarse and aged voice.
"Le Xuan and Yu Hao have been kidnapped by the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian promised me that the two children would be safe. As for Elder Xuan, the main person in charge of this incident, his mental state has suffered serious problems due to the illusionary domain of the Demon King, and his cultivation level is even in danger of declining."
"First, if the beasts change their minds at the last minute, we need to prepare some countermeasures. Let's start discussing this now."
Xian Lin'er's eyes were bloodshot, and her face was extremely pale. She had fainted immediately upon learning of the matter. After waking up, if Qian Duoduo hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed to fight Elder Xuan. Now, at the Sea God Pavilion meeting, discussing Huo Yuhao's matter, she couldn't suppress the fire burning within her.
But her remaining rationality told her that impulsiveness wouldn't save Huo Yuhao, nor would it give her the strength to snatch him back from the hands of the Beast God Di Tian, a half-step True God.
But her maternal instincts prevented her from suppressing her indignation, and as soon as Mu En finished speaking, Xianlin couldn't help but speak up.
"If they dare to harm Yuhao, I will resign from my position as dean and take all my wealth to die with them."
The cold, resolute words were calm and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
The meeting fell silent again. Everyone had different expressions, but no one knew what to say to comfort a mother who might lose her child.
After a long silence, Mu En sighed and said, "Lin'er, I won't try to persuade you. If it really comes to that, we'll see. I will do my best to bring both children back safely. Now you should go and rest; you're not in the right state to continue the meeting."
Xian Lin'er gritted her teeth and slowly got up. She knew that if she continued to make a scene, she would go too far. It was already rare for Mu En to tolerate her temper at this time. Continuing would not only not help Huo Yuhao's life, but would also be counterproductive.
"Disciple obeys, and begs Master to grant your request! Save Yuhao and both children!"
Xian Lin'er's voice trembled slightly, and Qian Duoduo held her hand tightly, hoping to offer her some comfort.
Huo Yuhao's situation was a huge blow to them both, but as a man, Qian Duoduo had to remain calm and restrained. He couldn't vent his emotions like Xian Lin'er. As a father, he had to do everything within the rules to give Huo Yuhao a better chance.
As Xian Lin'er stood up, Qian Duoduo also stood up. He looked around and nodded to everyone, saying, "Elder Mu, esteemed elders, I'll go see Lin'er off."
Mu En immediately nodded in acknowledgment, and no one else would have any complaints at this time. After all, among the people present, only Mu En, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er could be considered direct family members, and it was reasonable for them to have any demands.
Seeing everyone nod in agreement, Qian Duoduo said nothing more and helped Xian Lin'er out of the conference hall.
"Lin'er, I will save Yuhao no matter what. You should rest and recover. When I bring Yuhao back, you, as his mother, should at least look better, right?" Qian Duoduo looked at Xian Lin'er with pity, held her hands, and warmed her body with her own body heat.
"Are you going alone?" Xian Lin'er asked bluntly, her gaze unwavering.
Qian Duoduo froze, unsure of what to say for a moment.
"I absolutely have to go! He's my only son! I can't not go!" Xian Lin'er bit her lower lip, a faint red tinge of blood seeping out, her bloodshot eyes glaring resolutely at Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo was stunned by that look in his eyes.
After a long while, Qian Duoduo let out a long sigh, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of relief and determination in her eyes, and said, "Then let's go together then."
Xian Lin'er's lips trembled, and tears finally streamed down her face. She buried her face in Qian Duoduo's strong chest and cried loudly.
Qian Duoduo gently embraced the woman in his arms, recalling when he had agreed to be her husband in name only.
Some impulse, some pity, some hope
What have I actually gained so far?
Qian Duoduo didn't know, but at nearly a hundred years old, he still felt a true sense of home, and had a gifted son, even if he wasn't his biological child, but someone he had adopted.
He was already content.
But now all of that is about to leave me!
Money is no object!
If all of this is destroyed like this, then Qian Duoduo will risk his life to destroy the guy who took everything from him!
The hatred of losing one's family and loved ones is irreconcilable!
The core area of the Starry Sky Forest, the Lake of Life.
Huo Yuhao slowly awoke from his coma. When he opened his eyes, the ancient tree branches that blocked out the sky came into view, the fresh air lingered around his nose, and a faint sense of life permeated his lungs.
He felt that the weakness in his body caused by the depletion of his soul power had now been completely swept away.
Suddenly he remembered that he had something more important to do!
Huo Yuhao immediately sat up and looked around for that gentle figure.
"Don't bother looking anymore, I've taken her to the depths of the Lake of Life," a pale white figure suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao hurriedly turned around. A silver-haired woman with an ethereal aura and skin as white as jade was looking him up and down with her amethyst-like eyes.
"You are the master that the Demon King spoke of?"
"You're quite clever. I am the master they speak of. You can call me the Silver Dragon King."
Huo Yuhao composed himself and continued, "How is my senior?"
The Silver Dragon King looked at him with some surprise. "I thought you would ask me why I captured you first. Don't worry, she's alright now, she just needs a little more time to wake up."
Huo Yuhao's heart finally settled down. He stood up, looked at the woman in front of him who was half a head taller than him, and took two steps back warily.
"Now you can answer me why you brought me here."
The Silver Dragon King glanced at Huo Yuhao indifferently, ignoring Huo Yuhao's subtle actions, and simply said, "How do you think she got away?"
