Deng Lijuan and Hun Chen were both speechless as they watched Lee Tao enjoying his scrambled egg.
'H-How could he still eat joyfully despite the corpses of blood?' Deng Lijuan gasped in horror.
anwhile, Hun Chen tried to take this ti to sneak away as he predicted that Lee Tao was definitely not so average cultivator.
Alas, it was a futile effort from him.
Before he could even take another step, a few arcs of profound qi slashed toward his front, causing him to move backward.
"You either stay there like a good doggy or you can et with your fellow bandits in hell." Lee Tao said calmly.
Hun Chen sweated nervously as he had never seen such an eccentric person before in his life.
To be able to still eat joyfully despite the bloody scene, he could still joke around with Deng Lijuan.
"Say Deng Lijuan, are you purposely trying to cook so bad egg? It's not even seasoned properly with salt and pepper." Lee Tao complained as he handed the empty dish back to her.
anwhile, Deng Lijuan wanted to curse him silently.
How was she supposed to be in the mood to cook properly when a massacre was occurring in front of her?
She was just a normal mortal with a sowhat above-average appearance and that's it.
Not to ntion, didn't he say the dish slled delicious previously?
Deng Lijuan was thoroughly confused by Lee Tao's conduct as she simply wanted to leave the scene right away.
"You might think I'm a bit weird and keeping you hostage here, Deng Lijuan. However, I'm pretty sure if you go outside right now, there might be more corpses than you can count." Lee Tao chuckled softly as he turned around and glanced at Hun Chen.
"Am I right, little Hun Chen? You and that last bandit who hasn't shown up yet must have killed every villager already right?"
Hun Chen trembled in fear.
Lee Tao curled his lips upward when he saw his reaction.
As expected of every bandit, looting and killing everyone without a care.
"J-Just who the hell are you, and why are you helping the Pan Village?" Hun Chen shouted in anger.
"When did I ever help the Pan Village?"
"You're stopping our activity by killing my n and even protecting that woman."
"You an her?" Lee Tao asked as he pointed at Deng Lijuan.
"She simply reminded of soone, and I wanted to try out her cooking skills. As for stopping your activity, if I recall correctly, I haven't really prevented your last man from killing everyone else, right?"
Hun Chen beca dumbfounded at Lee Tao's words.
He was right after all. They were having a smooth sailing activity until they decided to barge into the Chiyu Tavern.
"Why are you keeping alive then?" Hun Chen asked.
"Nothing much, I just thought that you are useful for so information." Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.
Afterward, Hun Chen felt his neck being pricked a little as he began losing his consciousness.
With a plop, Hun Chen collapsed on the ground whereas Xiao Chu yawned aloud for the easy job.
Of course, Deng Lijuan was oblivious to the entire scene and simply thought Lee Tao had done sothing to Hun Chen.
"T-Thank you for saving my life," Deng Lijuan snapped out of her thought as she quickly gave her thanks to Lee Tao.
Alas, Lee Tao shook his head.
"I doubt you would want to thank since I could have saved another person but didn't do so." Lee Tao said as he sipped so drink.
anwhile, Deng Lijuan's expression drastically changed as she felt an ominous feeling about it.
Her thoughts soon flashed back to the previous question of Lee Tao asking about her father suddenly.
"N-N-No, it can't be…" Deng Lijuan's face was filled with pain and grief as she refused to believe her father had died.
"F-Father cannot be dead." She said with a resolute expression.
Her father was the kind to understand the situation and would never act irrationally.
And to her surprise, Lee Tao also nodded his head in agreent.
"Of course, your father is still alive." Lee Tao said with a mysterious smile.
He then stood up and patted Deng Lijuan's shoulder softly.
"After all, he's the last Hun's Bandit that was sneaking around and killing the other villagers."
THUD!
Deng Lijuan lost her balance as she fell to the ground when she heard Lee Tao's words.
"You're lying," She shouted coldly.
Lee Tao ignored her denial as he turned around and glanced at the backdoor.
He wasn't really surprised by Deng Lun being a part of the Hun's bandits since Xiao Chu's analysis had long revealed the truth.
When he was checking the data of the Hun's Bandits attacking, it had recorded that one of the bandits was soone Lee Tao had interacted with.
Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that Deng Lun had long been collaborating with the Hun's Bandits and for so reason, he had information about him being in the Pan Village.
'Just who is it that revealed my true identity here?' Lee Tao wondered silently as he destroyed the backdoor with his profound qi.
"You can stop hiding already, Deng Lun. I'm surprised you still have the nerve to wait outside when Hun Chen showed lustful thoughts toward your daughter." Lee Tao snorted coldly.
With the door collapsing into multiple debris, Deng Lijuan's eyes were wide open in disbelief as she saw a familiar figure.
And it was none other than her father, Deng Lun- one that she believed was outside gathering herbs.
"C-Could it be that father has always used the gathering herbs as an excuse to raid other villages?" Deng Lijuan laughed depressingly.
"Haa, who would have thought that Young Master Lee Tao is indeed a farsighted man." Deng Lun said sarcastically as he took a few steps forward.
"I'm surprised though… how did you figure out it was ?"
"It's not that hard honestly. Bad guys always have a foul sll around them."
