Report to the lady! The young masters are madly infatuated with a village girl

Chapter 254: Out of Reach

Rong Tao was pressed on a mahogany chair, with Lu Tianlin and Yan Hui on his left and right, and four men with gloomy faces standing in front of him.

The study door was closed and the windows were covered with heavy curtains. The only light came from the dim chandelier above.

"Listen, Taozi." Lu Tianlin rarely put away his cynical smile. "Everything you see and hear from now on must be kept to yourself."

Rong Tao's Adam's apple rolled and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

The scene just now kept flashing back in my mind - the purple blood, the water that appeared out of nowhere, the purple barrier created by the little girl's wave...

"Who...are you?" His voice was so dry that it didn't sound like his own.

Mo Junli pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "We should ask you this question. What exactly is your eldest brother Rong Hao?"

Just now, Yang Xining had told them that Rong Hao was "Si", the behind-the-scenes leader of N Group.

"My eldest brother?" Rong Tao was stunned. "He's just a hypocritical bastard, what else could he be?"

Qi Lin suddenly leaned forward, pressing the cold blade against Rong Tao's cheek. "Don't play dumb. The man in black who attacked the child mentioned 'Master Si', and that was your brother Rong Hao. And last night you told Xining yourself that you heard Rong Hao being called 'Master Si'."

Rong Tao's pupils shrank suddenly. "Do you think...my eldest brother is the mastermind behind that man in black?"

"Not only that." Yan Tian leaned against the bookcase with his arms folded. "We suspect Rong Hao is not human at all."

Rong Tao stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh friction sound. "This is ridiculous!"

"Ridiculous?" Lu Xinghan sneered, took out his phone and pulled up a video. "Look at this."

In the video, Rong Hao is talking to someone in the laboratory.

Suddenly, his eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a snake, and his tongue forked and stretched out, trembling in the air.

Rong Tao was struck by lightning, his legs went limp and he fell back into his chair: "This... This is impossible..."

"Now do you understand why we are so nervous?" Mo Junli's voice was calm and restrained. "Your eldest brother Rong Hao, or 'Si', is the leader of the Anaconda tribe. And the Anaconda tribe..."

"It's a snake demon that can transform into a human form." Qi Lin continued, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "They've set their sights on my brother... Yang Xining's child."

Rong Tao's mind was in a mess.

Snake demon? Anaconda?

These words, which should exist only in myths, are now being discussed seriously.

But the supernatural phenomena he had just witnessed made it impossible for him to deny them.

Seeing that the other party had really been fooled, several people looked at each other.

They don't have any video of Rong Hao turning into a snake. It's just something they created using software.

I didn’t expect this guy to actually believe it!

"Why...why did he arrest Yang Xining's two children?" he asked with difficulty.

"Because Qinglan and Qingyan have special blood flowing in their bodies." Yang Xining's voice came from the door.

She pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Hilde, who had almost recovered, but the guard's face was still pale.

"Your Highness," Hilde bowed slightly, "I have failed in my duty."

Yang Xining shook her head. "It's not your fault. They used poison arrows that are effective against demons." She looked at Rong Tao, a complex expression flashing in her dark eyes. "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, but you have two choices now."

Rong Tao looked up and met her gaze.

"First, let Lulu erase your memory of today. You can continue to be your big star, but you will never know the truth of this world."

"What about the second one?" Rong Tao asked subconsciously.

“Second,” Yang Xining took a few steps closer, “join us and fight against the Anaconda tribe together. But this road is dangerous and you may die.”

The study fell into silence, with only the ticking of the wall clock audible.

Rong Tao's eyes swept over everyone present.

All this was as absurd as a nightmare, but a voice in his heart told him that this was the real world.

"I choose the second way," he heard himself say.

Lu Xinghan raised his eyebrows: "Have you thought it through? You can't regret this."

Rong Tao took a deep breath. "I should have noticed it earlier... Rong Hao's so-called 'research projects' and his frequent trips abroad." He gave a wry laugh. "I always thought he was just a perverted scientist, but I didn't expect he was actually a snake demon."

"A wise choice." Mo Junli nodded slightly, "Then from now on, you will be a non-staff member of the 'Watchers'."

“Watchmen?”

"The four of us founded this organization," Yan Tian explained, "to specifically deal with these kinds of supernatural threats."

Qi Lin played with the dagger and added grimly, "If you dare to betray me, I will make you regret being born into this world."

Rong Tao swallowed his saliva, not doubting the truth of this statement.

"Okay, let's get back to the point." Mo Junli knocked on the table. "Rong Tao, we need you to go back to the Rong family, pretend you didn't notice anything, and secretly monitor Rong Hao's every move."

"This is too dangerous!" Lu Tianlin objected. "If Rong Hao finds out that he knows the truth..."

"I have this." Rong Tao pulled out the purple sachet Yang Xining had given him from his underwear pocket. "Miss Yang said it can interfere with mind control."

Yang Xining nodded: "The sachet contains the amulet of the Sea God Clan and the concealment spell of the Demon Realm, which can temporarily block the perception of the Anaconda Clan. But remember, do not touch Rong Hao actively, and do not eat anything he gives you."

"I understand." Rong Tao nodded solemnly, then remembered something, "Oh, those reporters and fans..."

"It's been handled." Mo Junli pushed up his glasses. "The trending search has been removed, the photos have been deleted, and the media coverage has shifted to the positive topic of 'Rong Tao visits a martial arts master.'"

Lu Xinghan added proudly, "I also released the news that Rong Tao is about to appear in a martial arts drama, which just happened to cover up this matter."

Rong Tao was stunned: "How did you... do that?"

"Money, power, and violence." Qi Lin grinned, "The three magic weapons to solve problems."

Yang Xining shook his head helplessly: "In short, there will be no more rumors about you and me in the outside world. But when you go back, you have to cooperate with the performance. Just say that you came to consult the martial arts instructor last night to prepare for the next play."

"Okay." Rong Tao nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "The man in black who attacked the martial arts gym... is he from the Anaconda tribe?"

"Yes." Yang Xining said solemnly, "They deliberately attacked when the reporters were surrounding us, hoping to take Qingyan or Qinglan away during the chaos."

"Why a child?" Rong Tao was puzzled. "If the Anaconda Tribe is so powerful, wouldn't it be better to just deal with you..."

"Because of blood." Hilde suddenly spoke in a low voice, "The two young princes inherited the princess's blood of the Sea God and the Demon King. They are the perfect key to awakening the ancient horned dragon."

Rong Tao gasped, "Qionglong? Does that legendary creature really exist?"

"Not only does it exist," Yang Xining said with a wry smile, "it's also sealed somewhere in the North Sea. The Anaconda Clan has served the Qionglong for generations and has always wanted to break the seal."

Mo Junli glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late. Rong Tao should go back. Not showing up for too long will arouse suspicion."

Yang Xining sent Rong Tao to the back door. It was late at night and the martial arts hall returned to peace.

"Yang Xining." Rong Tao turned suddenly before leaving. "Can I ask you a question?"

"explain."

"Who...are you?" Rong Tao looked directly into her eyes. "Or, are you really human?"

Yang Xining was silent for a moment, a purple-gold light flashed in her eyes: "I used to be a human, but now... I am the daughter of the Sea God and the Demon King."

Rong Tao's eyes widened, but he quickly calmed down: "No wonder the first time I saw you..."

“Just what?”

"I just feel like you're different." Rong Tao smiled, "Like the stars in the sky, so far away and out of reach."

Yang Xining shook his head: "Don't be silly, go back quickly. Remember, if you find anything, contact Tianlin or Xiaohui immediately."
