Chapter 572: Chapter 573: It Turns Out to Be a Misunderstanding
"Enough!"
Yadang roared, his face unable to conceal his rage.
Keli was pulled back to reality by his bellow. He could feel Yadang’s deep hostility towards him, but he had no idea where it stemmed from.
He hadn’t done anything...
Keli frowned slightly, sensing some misunderstanding between them, "Yadang, I..."
"Can you stop talking! I, I, I, I what? Don’t you find yourself disgusting right now?"
Yadang curled his lip corners in contempt, staring straight at Keli, ruthlessly exposing Keli’s intention to get close to him.
"Do you, the lord of Upper Beast City, think that I am of some use to you now, so you’re going all to foster our relationship? I advise you not to bother. Why would you think that, after all you have done to me, I would heed your words like before?"
His thoughts being laid bare, Keli’s face changed slightly, and his smile stiffened a bit.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just being kind to you because I watched you grow up, there’s nothing more to it!"
The chill in Yadang’s eyes deepened, "Really? Then why didn’t you think about me growing up under your watch when you sent people to kill me?"
Keli found Yadang’s words utterly baffling!
He was at a loss, "When did I ever send people to hunt you down?"
A flame of anger ignited in Yadang’s heart once again. He laughed coldly, "What? The mighty Lord of Upper Beast City dares to act but not admit it? Or are you so fearful of me now that you have to lie?"
Keli managed to portray some calm, and after a moment he began to explain, "When I found out that you were not my cub, I was upset, too. I didn’t know how to face you. So I asked Luo Bu to get in contact with you and presented you with two options. One, nothing ever happened and you still were my cub, but the position of Upper Beast City’s lord was not for you. The other, you could leave Upper Beast City and never return."
Seeing Keli’s sincere explanation, Yadang’s rationality gradually returned.
Surviving in the Wilderness for so long and even becoming the priest of Taoyuan, Yadang was not a fool. To the contrary, he was very clever.
It was just because these matters involved him personally and his anger clouded his judgment, he was lost in it.
Having called Keli "father" for so long, Yadang had some understanding of his character. Though he bullied the weak and feared the strong, was ambitious, and even shameless, he dealt with certain issues on principle.
From Keli’s previous words, Yadang caught on two key points!
He asked earnestly, "Are you saying you never sent anyone to kill me? And how could you be so certain that I’m not your cub? Wasn’t it because I discovered Luo Bu and Ruhua’s affair and they were afraid I’d expose them, so they conspired to accuse me of not being your cub?"
Keli sighed, "Yadang, am I such a ruthless person in your eyes? Your mother’s affair has nothing to do with you, why would I vent my anger on you? Not to mention sending people after you."
Yadang’s brow lowered, he asked softly again, "Then how are you so sure I’m not your cub?"
Keli did not immediately answer this question. His face went through a range of peculiar expressions, apparently awkward and embarrassed.
Struggling a bit, he eventually gave in with a sigh and began to explain.
