Douluo: Tang Hao kills me, the son pays for the father's debt

Chapter 178: False Pope's Decree, Drawing Lots to Decide Life and Death
Xie Yue was no longer surprised by the intimacy between the two. They grew up together and were as close as a family. He had always been clear about Yan's feelings for Hu Liena, and he had always treated Yan as his own brother.

It’s just that Hu Liena didn’t like Yan, and Xie Yue had no choice. Now that he saw the two of them finally get married, he was very happy for them.

But Xie Yue was really hungry now. He kept swallowing his saliva, and his stomach was growling, which somewhat ruined the atmosphere.

Hu Liena finally reacted and fed Xie Yue a small piece in the same way, but her actions and expressions were very perfunctory.

Just as the three of them were having a great time, Mo Bai lowered his head and walked into their small shabby house. The space was small and barely clean, but the smell was a bit pungent.

Mo Bai didn't care. He walked straight to Yan's side, picked him up, threw him to the ground, and naturally took his place.

Seeing this, Hu Liena quickly stood up and helped Yan up, glaring at Mo Bai. If it had happened in the past, she would definitely have cursed at him or even fought.

Mo Bai seemed very interested in the pastries of the three people. He dipped a little into his mouth, then quickly spit it out and kept dry-heaving. After a long while, Mo Bai finally came to his senses.

"What the hell is this? Is this for people to eat?"

Hu Liena seized the opportunity and mocked Mo Bai.

"No one is inviting you to eat. Also, you are not welcome here. Please leave."

Xie Yue pulled the corner of Hu Liena's clothes, then knelt down respectfully.

"Holy Son, please calm down. Nana is ignorant. Please forgive me."

Yan also knelt down. Worried that Mo Bai would get angry, he quickly took the responsibility.

"Son, I apologize to you for Nana's impulsiveness. I am willing to accept any punishment."

Mo Bai was not angry. Instead, he stood up and walked outside. When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at the three people.

"Get up, I'm not a petty person. Seeing you look so pitiful, I can't bear it. I just ate your snacks, so I'll treat you to a good meal as compensation."

Hu Liena's temper has improved a lot, but she still can't like Mo Bai and always can't help but want to say a few words to him.

Seeing that Hu Liena wanted to say something, the two of them immediately stood up and covered her mouth, and Xie Yue explained in a low voice.

"Don't get excited yet. He should be sent by His Holiness the Pope. Let's wait and see."

Yan also quickly agreed, "Nana, big brother is right, let's eat first."

Hu Liena stopped struggling and quickly calmed down, pulling Xie Yue's hand away.

"Okay, let's eat first, and then we'll settle the score with him."

With Mo Bai's current strength, he could hear what they were whispering even without deliberately releasing his mental power. He was not surprised by the reactions of the three people and walked towards the carriage without stopping.

Guimei had been waiting for a while. He had just gone to buy some food. When he saw Mo Bai coming, he quickly saluted.

"Son, I am ready."

Mo Bai did not invite the three people to the hotel for a good meal and drink. Instead, he took them to an open grassland and sat down casually.

Guimei took out the food he bought and laid it out. Although the three were very hungry, they did not act immediately. Instead, they all looked at Mo Bai. They didn't believe that Mo Bai would be so kind.

"Eat it, it's not poisonous."

Mo Bai casually picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth. After confirming that everything was fine, Hu Liena could no longer hold back and reached out for the food, while Xie Yue and Yan first expressed their gratitude to Mo Bai before starting to spin wildly.

The three of them were so hungry that they didn't even have the appearance they needed. In just a short while, all the food was gone, leaving Gui Mei dumbfounded.

After eating, the three of them collapsed due to exhaustion. Yan did not forget to carefully wipe the corners of Hu Liena's mouth with his clothes.

After resting for a while, Hu Liena recovered some strength, stood up and looked at Mo Bai coldly.

"I wonder what the Holy Son wants to do here?"

Hu Liena spoke in a bad tone, Xie Yue was startled and hurried to explain.

"Please forgive me, Holy Son, Nana is not..."

It’s boring to listen to too much nonsense, so Mo Bai waved his hand to interrupt Xie Yue’s apology.

"Okay, no more nonsense, Elder Ghost, you go tell them."

Gui Mei was very helpless. Although it was Mo Bai's instruction, he would definitely have a hard time in the future if he falsely spread the Pope's decree. He sighed helplessly in his heart.

“The last soul hunting operation failed. Not only did we not catch any soul beasts, but we also caused heavy losses to the Spirit Hall. The entire Spirit Hall was in an uproar.

Your behavior has been defined as treason. His Holiness the Pope is very angry about this and has said that he must get to the bottom of it.

The Holy Son has overcome all odds and secured an opportunity for you. One of you will take the responsibility to calm the public anger."

Hu Liena was terrified. Collaboration with the enemy was a serious crime, punishable by death. Her voice trembled.

"Ghost Elder, what punishment will the person who takes responsibility receive? How will the other two be dealt with?"

"Although His Holiness did not say it explicitly, in order to calm this disturbance, I think the person who takes responsibility will be expelled from the Spirit Hall in the most optimistic scenario. If it is more serious, it is hard to say. As for the rest, they will be handed over to His Majesty the Holy Son for disposal."

Hu Liena was so frightened that her face turned pale. She never expected that her willfulness would lead to such serious consequences. She now regretted her impulsiveness very much.

In order not to implicate Xie Yue and Yan, Hu Liena took the initiative to step forward and knelt respectfully towards Mo Bai.

"Son, everything happened because of me. I am willing to take all the blame. Please don't make things difficult for my brother and Yan."

Yan was anxious. He didn't want to see Hu Liena die like this, so he knelt down quickly.
"Son, I was the one who instigated all this. I can't stand your superiority. I'm jealous of your status and I'm afraid that you will be appreciated by the Pope after completing your mission. All the mistakes are caused by me. If you want to punish someone, please punish me alone."

Xie Yue also knelt down quickly.
"Your Highness, please understand clearly that Yan is talking nonsense. The situation at that time was the state of the martial arts fusion technique between Nana and I, and I was the one who took the lead.

I saw that Nana liked Tang San, so I took the initiative to help him. Now that you have discovered it, I will admit it. "

Watching the three of them constantly taking the responsibility on themselves, Mo Bai felt very relieved in his heart. At least the emotional aspect was still worthy of affirmation. However, Mo Bai would not let them go so easily.

"It seems like what you said makes sense. I don't know who to believe anymore. How about this? You two draw lots and leave life and death to fate."

Then Mo Bai asked Guimei to write three notes, put them in an opaque jar and shook it, then handed the jar to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena stretched out her hand tremblingly, grabbed a ball of paper, opened it and saw the word "life". She immediately looked pale.

Getting the "life" means that one of Xie Yue and Yan will die. Everything was caused by her, and now she is going to implicate both of them. She wishes she could die.
