Chapter 212 The Vampire Who Fears Blood 7
After hearing Xie Luo's words, Wen Ze simply responded calmly, "I don't know anything about witchcraft. However, there's something peculiar about that woman. Our original plan has been completely disrupted. It will be extremely difficult to successfully eliminate your father."
Hearing this, Xie Luo's brows couldn't help but frown even tighter, and he retorted with a slightly excited tone: "He is not my father! If it weren't for him..." If it weren't for him, his brother wouldn't have become what he is now.
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Xie Luo seemed to suddenly realize something and swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach.
However, even if he didn't say the rest of the words, how could Wen Ze not guess what he wanted to express?
After all, even though this guy always calls his brother a useless waste, he has actually been protecting him secretly.
Otherwise, with his brother's personality that allows himself to be bullied, even with Yinxuan looking after him, it would probably be difficult for him to grow up safely and smoothly to his current age.
In fact, before this, Wen Ze had heard some things about his brother Xie Luo, but he had never learned much about it.
It was not until today, when Xie Qi came to him in person, that he suddenly developed a strong interest in Xie Qi.
Recalling the look on Xie Qi's face when he came to see him, Wen Ze couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, sketching a sly smirk, and then said, "How about this, from now on, I'll help you look after your brother?"
However, just as Wen Ze finished speaking, Xie Luo's heart suddenly tightened.
Xie Luo knew Wen Ze very well. Although Wen Ze always looked kind and harmless, he was not the only one who could be trusted.
But in fact, beneath that kind appearance, there is a heart that extremely hates vampires.
Thinking back to the past, before they even met, there was a secret past between them. At that time, Wen Ze had murdered Xie Luo simply because he was the Duke's son.
Fortunately, later, when Wen Ze discovered that Xie Luo also harbored resentment towards the Duke and intended to take his life, the two became friends and began to secretly join forces.
Because of this, when Xie Luo heard Wen Ze say this, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of worry in his heart.
He was really afraid that Wen Ze would take the opportunity to harm his brother, so he quickly said, "He is a waste. Even if you really kill him, it will not have any impact on Xie Xile at all."
However, to Xie Luo's surprise, Wen Ze simply smiled after hearing what he said, and then slowly responded, "Who said I was going to kill him?"
Faced with Wen Ze's relaxed attitude, Xie Luo did not relax, but instead became even more vigilant. He stared at Wen Ze closely and asked, "So what exactly do you want to do?"
Wen Ze stretched out his body comfortably, then said softly with that unfathomable smile still on his face, "You can't blame me for this, he came here on his own."
Wen Ze said this, slowly raising his hand, his eyes falling on the bandaged wound on his finger. A subtle light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said slowly: "How could I let him die after drinking my blood?"
"You fed him blood?! How...how is this possible? Didn't he spit it out?" Xie Luo was shocked when he heard this.
His eyes were fixed on the bandaged wound on Wen Ze's hand, as if he wanted to see the truth hidden within through the layers of gauze.
You know, for every vampire, blood can help them replenish energy and even make them stronger.
However, ever since his brother began to resist drinking blood, his health condition has been deteriorating day by day, and it is even very likely that he will not live past the age of thirty due to not drinking blood for a long time.
Once, in order to make his brother drink blood to stay alive, Xie Luo racked his brains and tried every possible way.
He had secretly mixed a small amount of blood into his brother's food countless times, but every time his brother just took a sip, he would vomit immediately and could not swallow it no matter what.
Even when his brother was in a coma, Xie Luo tried to force-feed him blood. However, even in a coma, his brother's body would still instinctively produce a strong resistance reaction. As long as he fed him blood, he would spit it all out without hesitation.
However, after hearing Xie Luo's words, Wen Ze showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked, "Why would he vomit? If you put it in his mouth, wouldn't he drink it?"
Just as Xie Luo was doubtfully wondering whether what Wen Ze had just said was true or not, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
After hearing the message alert tone specially set for Yinxuan, Xie Luo knew that there might be something about his brother, so he clicked on the message without hesitation.
However, when he saw the photo sent by Yinxuan, his eyes widened instantly and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
The protagonist in the photo was Xie Qi, who had his eyes tightly closed. Xie Qi's face was rosy, and he had completely lost his sickly look, as if he had been reborn.
Xie Luo stared blankly at the phone screen with his mouth wide open, completely losing the demeanor and manners that a noble vampire should have.
After a long while, Xie Luo finally came back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Wen Ze in front of him, his eyes gleaming with complex emotions.
After some inner struggle, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Okay, you support my brother and I'll do things for you!"
After all, Xie Luo had tried many kinds of fresh blood with extremely high purity and no impurities before, but the results were without exception. His brother could never swallow even a little bit.
Now that his brother can drink Wen Ze's blood, he certainly can't miss this opportunity.
However, when Wen Ze heard what Xie Luo said, he saw his slender white fingers tapping gracefully on the smooth table.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."
After Wen Ze finished speaking, he asked doubtfully, "But I'm curious, since you don't hate your brother, why do you deliberately want him to misunderstand you?"
Hearing this, Xie Luo fell silent for a moment before speaking in a deep voice, "You don't know that as vampires, we seem to possess endless power and a long lifespan, but in reality, we have no freedom at all. Ever since my brother was ruthlessly abandoned by the family, I've naturally become the focus of the family's training. They constantly monitor my every move, fearing that I might do anything that goes against the family's wishes. Therefore, I must never allow myself to expose even the slightest weakness or vulnerability."
Having said that, Xie Luo paused for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his emotions.
He then continued, "Only by showing my brother's extreme disgust will they stop controlling his freedom and using it as leverage against me."
After Xie Luo finished speaking, a hint of helplessness and fatigue appeared on his face. He shook his head gently, as if trying to shake off those heavy thoughts.
Then, he changed the subject, speaking in a slightly hurried tone, "Since you've agreed, then it's settled. I'll go back to my family first and check if there are any relevant records that can decipher that strange witchcraft."
Hearing what Xie Luo said, Wen Ze simply nodded in agreement. He responded concisely, "Okay."
In this way, the two ended their conversation. Then, they stood up and left the room one after another.
