N-A-A Chapter 210 Just a misunderstanding
Chapter 210 Just a misunderstanding
As soon as the words fell, the whole room fell silent as if it had been cast under a silencing spell.
Although everyone knew that Wuji would eventually make concessions.
But I thought he would at least negotiate with Liu Yuntian, but I didn't expect him to agree so quickly.
And he agreed so readily!
At this moment, everyone kept their lips tightly closed and remained silent, but their eyes were unusually active.
He wavered back and forth between Liu Yuntian and Wuji, as if he was secretly calculating how to gain the greatest benefit from the next change in the situation.
Wuji calmly picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he stared at Liu Yuntian thoughtfully for a while before slowly putting down the teacup, swinging his cloak gracefully, and standing up from his seat.
However, just as he was about to reach the door, Liu Yuntian suddenly spoke up: "Since the matter has been settled... can this box be opened?"
Hearing this, Wuji stopped abruptly and froze at the door.
He didn't turn his head, but just glanced slightly in the direction of Liu Yuntian.
No one spoke in the room, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.
Suddenly, Liu Yuntian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled: "What's wrong, Lord Lin? Aren't you going to track down the whereabouts of the bronze badge?"
The laughter was like a cold wind, making people shiver.
Liu Yi swallowed nervously and looked at Liu Yuntian in a daze.
He really couldn't understand. The matter had clearly passed, so why did Liu Gong still hold on to it?
Is there a deeper meaning behind this?
However, the most panicked person at this moment was Zheng Ye.
He was bewitched by Lin Ying and stole Liu Yi's bronze badge, paving the way for Lin Ying's attack.
But who could have thought that not only did Lin Ying fail to embarrass Liu Yuntian, but instead seemed to have dug a big hole for themselves!
Zheng Ye looked at Lin Ying nervously, and at this moment Lin Ying also looked at him and gave him a secret wink.
Zheng Ye understood what Lin Ying meant and knew that she wanted him to open the box.
In an instant, he seemed to feel that the whole world was spinning, and a feeling of despair surged in his heart.
He realized that he might be in big trouble!
He... is going to die!!!
It is indisputable that he had indeed stolen the bronze emblem.
Lin Ying had told him at the beginning that if he could complete this task, Liu Yuntian would suffer a huge loss, and he would leave with Liu Yi.
In this way, Liu Yi's original position will naturally become vacant and he will take his place.
Liu Yisheng is cautious by nature, but his insight into human nature is as naive as that of a child.
All he needs to do is take advantage of Liu Yi's trust in him and steal the bronze badge secretly, and the matter can be resolved satisfactorily.
Once Liu Yi returns to Northern Frontier, he will be able to smoothly take over the position of Six Gates Constable.
After all, Liu Yi is the confidant of the Lord of Northern Frontier and will never lose power easily.
In comparison, he was just a poor boy who could die at any time.
If he puts himself in his shoes, Liu Yi should be able to understand his difficulties...
But now, all plans have been disrupted!
There is no way there could be a bronze badge in this brocade box!
After he stole the bronze badge, he gave it to Lin Ying immediately!
As long as the brocade box is opened, Liu Yuntian will fulfill his previous promise and look for the bronze badge at all costs, and he may even turn the Six Gates upside down!!!
He has the ability to do it... He will definitely do it!
This madman dared to be so presumptuous in front of the Wuji Holy Lord. In comparison, the Six Gates... had become an excuse for the other party to make trouble!
At this moment, Zheng Ye seemed to have seen Liu Yuntian holding a knife and slaughtering the entire Six Gates until the blood flowed like a river.
Just to find... that unimportant bronze badge!!!
The Saint Lords could only watch calmly as Liu Yuntian did everything...
Because they lost... they could only watch Liu Yuntian eat their chess pieces...
And he and the pawns of the Six Gates...died just like that...
Maybe it's just to pave the way for the chess players to follow up...
Their deaths...may have value.
Maybe it was just a careless move by the chess player!
And this... is the rule of the chessboard...
"What? Are you afraid that I can't shoulder this responsibility?" Liu Yuntian urged again jokingly.
"Open!" Lin Ying shouted angrily at Zheng Ye!
This sound frightened him so much that he shuddered violently...
Then, Zheng Ye slowly got up from the ground and reached out to the box with trembling hands.
This time, however, there was no force stopping him from touching the box.
He quickly touched the lid of the box.
Time passed by little by little. For him, such a simple action seemed to have taken ten thousand years...
He never thought that time could become so long...
The patterns carved on the box are so exquisite...
Even the lacquer on it exudes a nobleness that a peasant like him could never touch...
“Click—”
Zheng Ye touched the mechanism, and the lid of the brocade box popped open instantly!
At this moment, time seemed to freeze and Zheng Ye's heart stopped beating completely.
For him, Lin Ying was naturally safe as he had the protection of a powerful figure like Wuji.
The figure standing at the door waiting at this moment undoubtedly confirmed this.
However, he himself... is just an insignificant little person...
I'm afraid I'm about to say goodbye to this world.
Third sister... I hope she can survive...
……
……
next moment……
But the next moment...
And in Zheng Ye's world, no one knows how much time has passed...
Chen Yang's voice was the first to break the weird atmosphere, "Inside! I told you, it's just a misunderstanding!"
He spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he was actually relieved about this.
"Amitabha, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." After witnessing this scene, Old Monk Xuankong clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and then stood up and left.
When he heard Chen Yang's words, Wuji also took action. He just snorted coldly at Liu Yuntian and disappeared on the spot.
"boom!"
"Boom!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Zheng Ye's heartbeat seemed to be awakened by a magical force and started beating again, beating stronger and stronger, beating in his chest like a war drum.
The blue veins on his forehead throbbed with the rhythm of his heartbeat, as if they were about to break through the constraints of his skin.
He stared blankly at the bronze badge lying quietly in the brocade box. The bronze badge exuded a mysterious aura that made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Am I... dreaming..." Zheng Ye muttered to himself.
Confused, he suddenly came to his senses and turned his gaze sharply towards Lin Ying.
At this moment, Lin Ying was staring at Liu Yuntian with gritted teeth, with flames of anger burning in his eyes.
However, Liu Yuntian sat there leisurely, with a playful smile on his face, as if he was mocking something.
Zheng Ye didn't understand.
Perhaps at this moment, these high-ranking figures have already fought each other countless times in invisible games, but with his status and position, he cannot understand the deep meaning of it.
"Lord of the North... I, Lin... have learned a lot from you!" Lin Ying said while gritting his teeth.
