He must seize this opportunity no matter what.

While waiting, the girl remained expressionless, with her head down, staring blankly at the ground.

Thank you. I looked at her and sighed in my heart.

······

Another two hours later.

There was a commotion outside the building, and many carriages could be heard parked outside.

Then, a group of well-dressed adults walked in.

Judging from their attire, they were either wealthy people or high-ranking officials, which made the orphans very excited.

If you can be favored by them, even if you become a servant, you will have no worries about food and clothing in your life.

For an orphan with no one to rely on, seeking shelter is the most urgent desire.

In order to hold the thighs, they all stood straight and looked very well-behaved and sensible.

However···

Among them, the girl still did not respond, she lowered her head and stood there blankly.

Compared with other children, her eyes are empty and she gives off a deadly atmosphere that makes people stay away from her.

at this time.

A middle-aged man with a mustache and dressed like an aristocrat walked over.

Thank you for noticing him. From the moment this man entered the room, his attention was not on the other children. He seemed like he was looking for something.

The moment he saw the girl, the corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a sinister and evil smile.

Section 1#Volume 2: The Gears of Revenge Are Turning Here: Chapter 248: Purple-Haired Girl (Part 2)

A cold sweat rolled down my cheek. Thank you for thinking there was something wrong with this person.

He had experienced a lot, and he was very sensitive to this kind of people, and his hair stood on end.

You don't have to guess to know that this man is not a good person.

His behavior seemed to indicate that he had known that the girl would appear here, and he had a strong purpose.

"Duke Longtao, thanks to the clues you provided, we were able to destroy the criminal den." The knight thanked the man.

"Protecting the people is also the responsibility of nobles like us." Long Tao stroked his mustache and smiled.

"No one wants to adopt this child?"

Long Tao looked at the girl and asked the knight beside him.

The knight turned around and looked around. He found that everyone else had chosen the child they liked, so he replied:

"It seems so."

Faced with this result, the Cavaliers knew what was going on.

The girl's appearance doesn't seem like that of an ordinary family, and she looks so depressed, so the possibility of her being adopted is very low.

Not to mention being spoiled, if there is any emotional illness, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, they are all well-known figures. Although they are doing charity, if any problems arise with the orphans they adopted, they will definitely be pushed to the forefront.

If used by hostile forces, we may end up in a public opinion crisis and be unable to protect ourselves.

"Would you like to adopt him?"

Long Tao looked around pretentiously, sighed, and said to the knight:

"I'll have to take care of it now."

Hearing Long Tao's words, the knight's eyes widened slightly, expressing strong appreciation for his good deed.

"With nobles like you, the empire will prosper forever!"

"It's getting late, let's go and handle the formalities."

"Yes, please follow me."

Just when Long Tao was about to take the girl away, Xie Xie suddenly stood up and spread his arms to block the girl.

"No! You...can't...do it!"

Seeing Xie Xie suddenly appear, Long Tao obviously frowned, and the knight was also a little at a loss.

The voice of thank you was quite loud, which attracted the attention of others.

"Is the boy extra?"

"It seems so." A man looked around, counted, and sighed, "It seems someone stood him up."

At this time, there were only 11 people who could adopt children, and there were 12 orphans.

It’s not that you can’t adopt two people, but the risk increases when more people are adopted.

A man came up to Long Tao and said in a persuasive tone, "Master Long, you should choose this boy."

Then, another person came here and echoed: "The boy looks dirty and his speech is unclear, but his brain seems to be very smart."

They speculated that the boy was worried about being left behind, so he wanted to push the girl away.

It is understandable that the boy would do this. After all, it concerns the rest of his life.

Moreover, the girl looked gloomy, as if she was possessed by a demon, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

To be honest, no one wants to adopt a child like this for fear of bringing bad luck.

As everyone persuaded him, Long Tao became impatient and said in a sad tone:

"If even I don't answer, what should she do..."

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

They didn't expect that Long Tao was such a generous and kind person, and they immediately felt a good impression of him.

This man is very cunning and he is very good at taking advantage of people's empathy.

Seeing that he insisted on taking the girl away, Xie Xie felt a cold sweat running down his cheek and he didn't know what to do.

Although he didn't know how the girl would be treated, he knew that nothing good would happen.

Just then, a man walked in and immediately caused an uproar.

"B-Lord Bai Huo!?"

Seeing him appear, all the knights present immediately straightened their backs, stood at attention, and assumed military posture.

"Sorry, I'm late because of some personal matters."

Everyone looked over there, and everyone knew what personal matter had delayed him.

Behind him, there was a blonde girl with her arms crossed and a bag on her head, looking angry.

You don't have to guess who she had a fight with.

"Grandpa! Hurry up! I still have five people to beat up!"

Hearing the girl's words, everyone outside the spiritual world looked at Bai Dieshang.

Bai Diechang covered her face with her hands, turned her head away and said awkwardly: "You are young and frivolous, young and frivolous."

Thank you for taking a look at Bai Huo.

This person looked kind and didn't seem like a bad person, so Xie Xie pushed the girl in front of Bai Huo.

"You... take... her... away..." Xie Xie said while gesturing with his hands and stuttering.

Bai Huo lowered his head and looked at the girl. Before he could speak, Long Tao came over and persuaded him:

"Master Bai, you should think twice. This girl seems to have some problems."

After hearing Long Tao's words, Xie Xie poked the girl's face with his fingers, making the corners of her mouth curve.

“Okay…see…no…problems…”

Bai Huo looked into the boy's eyes, then looked at Long Tao. Bai Huo understood the boy's thoughts.

Bai Huo squatted down and asked the girl with empty eyes:

"where is your family?"

"..." The girl's lips twitched. After a long while, she slowly said, "She was killed..."

Hearing this, everyone present gasped.

If someone adopts her, it might lead to murder.

"Do you know who it is?" Bai Huo asked.

The girl clenched her fists and said with a forced voice, "Sword Dao Demon Lord."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned pale and they took several steps back in fear.

Without thinking too much, Bai Huo said to the knight: "Leave this child to me."

Bai Huo is a strong man in the Holy Land. Everyone knows that he lost to the Sword Dao Demon Lord, but at least he survived.

Everyone guessed that he took in this girl in order to avenge his previous humiliation and wait for the Sword Dao Demon Lord to come to him.

Seeing Bai Huo's tough attitude, Long Tao's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Of course, as an old man, Bai Huo has a lot of experience and noticed Long Tao's reaction.

"Are you having any inconvenience?" Bai Huo asked first.

"No, please do as you please." Cold sweat rolled down Long Tao's cheeks, and he didn't dare to compete with Bai Huo for the person.

Bai Huo and the knight came to one side.

When going through the adoption procedures, Bai Huo glanced at the knight and said, "Thank you!"

"If no one adopts the child, please come and let me know."

"Yes!"

Just as Bai Huo led the girl away, Xie Xie poked the girl's face again, smiled and said:

“You…should…laugh…more…”

Seeing this scene, Lin Nadai's purple eyes were filled with shock, and her eye sockets became a little hot.

"That voice...turned out to be him..."

In Lin Na's impression, she was adopted by Bai Huo, but she didn't remember the process...

The death of her relatives, coupled with being abducted, was a series of blows that hurt her so much that she became extremely depressed...

She didn't expect that something like this would happen during this period...

Lin Na couldn't imagine what her life would be like without Zhang Liang's help.

······

Afterwards, everyone left.

Xie Xie didn't leave with anyone, and before leaving, Long Tao glanced at Xie Xie without saying anything.

"Little friend, you misunderstood that adult." The knight sighed and said in a soothing tone: "You can stay here today. We will find other adopters."

"Ah."

After dinner, the staff came to a room with a thank you.

It's not big here and the windows are small, but it has a roof and airtight walls. Thank you and I'm very satisfied.

"Thank you."

The staff member said "good night" and left with a smile.

Thank you for lying in bed, looking at the moon outside the window, full of expectations for the future.

Suddenly, he smelled a strange odor, and Xie Xie covered his nose and sat up from the bed, but it was too late.
