But the teenager listened and then sneered.
“Yes, the high priest said so, but doesn’t he listen to you for everything now? The title just now, a wedding handkerchief, a cup of tea, and the divination at the end, I suppose it was all your arrangement?”
“……”
“You wanted to win, but it couldn’t be that obvious, so you had him come up with a wedding handkerchief and let them both win first.”
He pointed to the Canglan clan’s thousand-year-old girl who was still standing there on the altar, and that Menglian clan’s young lady.
At once, those two girls’ eyes were red under their anger and rage.
“And what happened afterwards? What about the tea, and the divination afterwards, Sixteenth Lang?”
The head of the Canglan clan was furious and immediately sat down to question, as did the Menglian side of course.
The young man then had a sneer cross his lips and beckoned, and soon, someone brought over something on a small silver plate.
“Tea, is no problem, that is her mind trick, she has been out there for so many years and has known me for a long time, she must know that I love this, but where she can really win, is in divination.”
He held the plate of tiny things up with one chopstick.
“Squeak squeak squeak-”
To add to the creepiness, the thing, to his surprise, wriggled hard in his chopsticks, with a horrible hissing sound that only animals can make in their mouths.
What was that thing?
Everyone’s face showed fear.
Only Ah Lan, after seeing it, that look turned even whiter.
Because, not only did she see this worm, she also heard a sentence that this teenager had just been saying that she had known him for a long time and knew that he loved tea.
What do you mean by knowing him long ago?
Wasn’t his current memory that he had only known her in the King’s Court?
So, what he means by that now is that …… he hasn’t actually lost his memory at all either? Rather, he had been lying to her from the beginning to the end?!!!
A chill finally climbed up from the bottom of this woman’s feet.
“XVI Lang, is this ……?”
“The compulsion, you take it to the chief’s side and see if, perhaps, there will be a surprise waiting for him.”
The young man’s voice, after taking out this worm, but not much emotional ups and downs, he just with a hint of playfulness, told the man to take this worm to the chief’s side.
The guard then took it over with trepidation.
As a result, to everyone’s surprise, the worm had only just gotten close to the chief, and as it screamed more intensely, the old man sitting on the throne suddenly also covered his stomach and revealed a look of pain.
“Ah…”
“King, what’s wrong with you? King?”
The head of the inner court saw it and immediately went over in shock to help him.
And the people on the altar around, including the tribesmen below, were all dumbfounded there as if a thunderbolt had struck them down after seeing this scene.
The parasite was no stranger to their tribe, their high priest had it in his hands.
But it was only in his possession, something that either manipulated or killed people, and there had long been strict orders from the royal court that no one other than the high priest was allowed to keep such things.
So why did the chief now have it inside him?
Could it be that the High Priest had put a compulsion on him?
“You-”
The old man, who was already being tormented by that compulsion, glared fiercely at that high priest after he could not wait to cut him down with a slash immediately.
But at that moment, something strange happened again.
The high priest didn’t react at all, he was still standing there, keeping a smile on his face, as if the incident had nothing to do with him at all.
The chief: “……”
The crowd: “……”
Including Ruo Ruo, who was on the altar at the moment, was also a pair of beautiful ebony watery eyes that glared until they rolled round after seeing this scene.
This seemed to …… be a bit out of place.
“Gu Ya, what are you doing? The king is asking you a question, Gu Ya!!!”
Among those headmen, someone angrily questioned, fixing his eyes on the very same Cang Lan Clan headman who had spoken only a short while ago.
However, the high priest called Gu Ya remained indifferent as he stood there as if he had become a puppet being manipulated, looking ahead with a smile in his eyes.
It was bizarre.
The chief also sensed that something was wrong, and he held back the pain in his body as he glared at this high priest.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“……”
No one dared to answer at all.
Except for the teenager over there.
“He was fed the same compulsion as you, but it took him a little longer and you had some use for it, it didn’t devour your entire brain.”
He spoke very nonchalantly, with a sneer and coldness in his voice, directly saying that he was on the verge of losing his brain.
After the words fell, this chieftain’s old face went white sharply again, and he couldn’t even keep the least bit of calm.
“Who was it? Who did it?”
“……”
This time, the teenager didn’t answer either, he just sat there lazily, while his wolf-like eyes were staring coldly at the woman who was still wearing the phoenix cape in front of him as if she was catching her prey.
This scene had really taken long enough to play out.
From the time he was ambushed in the forest to the time he was brought back to the royal court and fed with the parasites, it had been a block of three months, right?
Perhaps, it wasn’t even three months, it should be a long time.
The young man began to play with a blood-red bead in his hand.
