Chapter 598: Blind Heart and Blind Eyes
Luo Haocang's expression suddenly changed, and everyone present could hear that the Saint was not joking.
She is not one to joke.
So it wasn't just Luo Haocang, many people present changed their expressions after hearing the words of the saint, especially Luo Jinghua.
Luo Haocang was no longer clear about the whole story, and he understood that this trip to Wushan was a Hongmen Banquet set for him by the Saint Maiden.
Even though the reason for this Hongmen Banquet was so easy and hasty, just because of the tragedy that happened to an unknown person like Gu Fan, the saint decided to stand against him, the head of the Luo family.
At the same time, this Hongmen Banquet was so incredible.
At this moment, probably no one from the outside world, including the Luo family to which Luo Haocang belonged, could realize that the Saint Lady announced the news of the Wushan Trial to the world in order to attack Luo Haocang.
Luo Haocang's mind worked quickly. He realized the Saint's firm attitude and knew that there was no possibility for him to shake the Saint's decision.
He immediately asked to meet the Demon Lord.
It is difficult for an adult and a child to communicate because their speeches are never from the same starting point.
Adults have a lot of concerns, so they are cautious when doing many things, but children are completely different.
The only thing children care about is their own feelings.
Luo Haocang was undoubtedly smart to figure this out in a very short time, but he still underestimated the Saint.
Because the saint is both a child and an adult.
The saint has all the characteristics of an adult, except attitude, and her attitude is that of a thorough child.
Follow your heart and do whatever you want.
To use the words of Ranran's world, it is like a child playing with nuclear weapons as toys. No one can predict what will happen in the next second. This is also the horror that Ranran has always emphasized.
Today, the Saint Lady is truly in charge of Wushan and the Demon Realm, and Luo Haocang's request was rejected without surprise.
He did not give up and tried to seek help from the Holy White Guards who were guarding the Saint on both sides.
"You can't just watch the Saint do whatever she wants and do nothing!"
"The Demon Lord will not allow the Saint to make such a big mistake!"
"The relationship between the Demon Realm and the Host Alliance is getting better and better. The Saint cannot make a big mistake at such a critical moment."
Luo Haocang bent his body in fear, "Our Luo family is willing to be on good terms with the Demon Realm! Otherwise, I would not have sent Hua'er here."
"Hua'er! Hua'er! Come here! Help Daddy persuade the Saint Girl! She can't be stupid just because of Gu Fan!"
Ranran could only sigh in her heart, and at the same time she came to some realizations.
When people are truly desperate and helpless, they will grab anything around them that might help, just like a drowning person who will hold on to even a straw.
Luo Haocang probably didn't take Luo Jinghua seriously at all. Apart from training him as a successor, he simply put the burden of the entire Luo family on the shoulders of the young Luo Jinghua.
He probably doesn't have any fatherly love for Luo Jinghua, otherwise a scum like Luo Pingyang wouldn't still be stepping on Luo Jinghua's head.
But now that he is in desperate situation, he can still swallow his pride and find this child whom he never took seriously before from the corner. He can open his lips and say words of help.
Luo Haocang's words undoubtedly made many people turn their attention to Luo Jinghua, but Luo Jinghua just stood there, motionless, with his head lowered, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
As Luo Jinghua's nominal father, Luo Haocang doesn't love this child at all, and his thoughts are even more evident at this moment.
If it were a parent who truly loved their child, they would only think about how to distance themselves from the child so that the child would not be affected by themselves. However, Luo Haocang did the exact opposite.
He was eager to drag Luo Jinghua into this stagnant water, even though he knew that the Wushan selection had just begun and Luo Jinghua probably had no chance to get to know the Saint, let alone use her friendship with the Saint to plead for him.
Ran Ran guessed that as long as Luo Jinghua could bring a little hope to Luo Haocang, he would not hesitate to use Luo Jinghua as a stepping stone for survival and step into the stagnant water for him to get ashore.
Luo Jinghua was a complete tool to him, and he was only called his son. Could a person's heart really be so biased? They were both sons, so would Luo Haocang burst into tears after Luo Jinghua was treated like this?
Ranran guessed that it was probably not the case.
Luo Jinghua's indifference made Luo Haocang crazy and angry, but in front of the saint, he could only suppress his anger.
In such a large venue, no one was willing to help him. Luo Haocang was like a dog forced into a desperate situation, with the only option left to do was to wag his tail and beg for mercy.
The saint looked at his originally resolute face, which became haggard and humble in the face of fear, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
She looked at Ran Ran gently, "Shen Yanwen, did you see it?"
"Can you still remember what he looked like when he first came to the martial arts arena?"
The saint's voice was like a layer of blurry glass in front of Ranran. No matter how much she wanted to go back to her previous memories and see Luo Haocang's appearance at that time, she couldn't see clearly because of the barrier of glass.
The blurry figure behind the glass left a fearful and weathered look in Ranran's pupils.
It seems that Luo Haocang has only this one image, and it is permanently fixed.
The saint's voice was soft and gentle, "This is the show I want you to enjoy."
Ran Ran didn't know whether to describe this as bad taste or something else. She only knew that the Saint was in a good mood right now, and no matter what she thought, she shouldn't offend the Saint at this time.
The scene before him was still the martial arts arena. In the huge open space, there was still only a humble Luo Haocang standing with his back bent, and Madam Hong who had fainted on the ground.
But gradually, these scenes changed in Ranran's vision.
It was as if the saint had dripped a lot of water on the blurry glass, and then dropped paint of different colors.
Various colors of paint swirled, diffused, and smudged in the spreading water droplets, turning the entire picture into a chaotic pattern that Ranran could not see clearly.
The dispute between Luo Pingyang and Gu Fan, the relationship between Luo Jinghua and Luo Haocanghong's wife, the stance of Moyu Wushan and the host alliance...
Ranran sighed in her heart.
What exactly did Wu Ning want her to see from this?
Does all this really make sense?
Does Wu Ning just want her to be a spectator, or does he also want her to participate and become the driving force in a certain dispute, relationship, or position?
Ranran felt more confused than ever before.
She didn't know what to do.
Until the saint's surprised voice sounded in her ears.
"Look who's coming?"
Who? Who could make the Saint make such a surprised sound? But no matter who it was, it didn't seem to matter to her.
Because all this has nothing to do with her, she is just a spectator who has strayed into it and a bystander who is not involved.
If she could make a wish to God, she hoped that this person who surprised the saint would be her savior.
Ran Ran decided to open her eyes.
In fact, she never closed her eyes, but her heart didn't want to see, so her eyes couldn't see.
At this moment, the blurry layer of glass in front of Ranran's eyes seemed to be melting bit by bit.
Her eyes widened in shock.
Although she had never seen this person before, she was sure that the person under the platform was the one the saint was talking about.
Gu Qingjue.
