If possible, Ye Zhen wanted to use various methods to force Ah Bu to reveal the relationship between Huangfu Chen and Wen Tian, but she was afraid that the answer would be the one she didn't want to know the most.
Sometimes, people are so contradictory. They obviously want to know the truth of this matter, but because of their own timidity, they hesitate to move forward, not daring to touch the most real answer.
She didn't know whether she wanted Ah Bu to say it or not.
But she knew very well that it was useless to escape.
Huangfu Chen looked at Ah Bu, hoping that she would tell the truth.
Ah Bu said expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter."
"Then why did you capture Guan Jie?" Ye Zhen didn't believe Ah Bu's words. She didn't tell the truth. Guan Jie was just the most ordinary mortal, and he was so silly that he was not eye-catching. Why did Ah Bu capture him?
"I didn't!" Ah Bu denied, refusing to admit that she had captured Guan Jie.
"Since you said you didn't, then I believe you. If I find out that you captured Guan Jie in the future …" Huangfu Chen glanced at Ah Bu. "Then you can leave."
Hearing this, Ah Bu's face turned pale.
Ye Zhen was now more certain that Ah Bu had something to hide, but it would not be so easy for her to say it herself.
Anyway, they would continue to get along, and there would be a time for her to tell the truth.
"Master, I'll go to Mingxi." Ye Zhen said. Anyway, it was useless to force Ah Bu. She would not tell the truth. To be precise, it was certainly not the right time to tell the truth.
Then she would wait patiently and see when she would be willing to tell the truth.
Probably because Ah Bu was on board, their journey to Northern Border City was smooth sailing. Not to mention encountering sea demons, they didn't even encounter strong winds and waves. It could be seen that all the troubles they encountered at sea before were deliberately caused by someone behind their backs.
Ye Zhen observed Ah Bu's interaction with other people. In front of Huangfu Chen, she was submissive and willing to listen to his teachings, as if she was still a timid little girl. But as long as Huangfu Chen was not around, the submissiveness in her eyes would be replaced by indifference. Even when Fanfan talked to her, she was indifferent and often did not say a word, cold as ice.
Fanfan didn't care. In ancient times, Ah Bu was like this. She was only a little better in front of the High Lord.
But Huangfu Chen was not Wen Tian. Why should Ah Bu be so obedient to him?
"Did you … live in a palace before?" It was rare to have such calm weather. Ye Zhen could not contact Mo Rongzhan. In order not to let the uneasiness envelop her, she had to find a topic to distract herself.
"We didn't have such a beautiful palace in the past. It was simple, but it was very sturdy. The walls were filled with black iron water, and they were much sturdier than the city walls of Jingdu. The High Lord liked to live in the mountains, so we built a mountain as our headquarters. Speaking of which, I really miss the Heavenly Castle."
"In the Heavenly Castle?" Ye Zhen's heart shrank slightly when she heard these three words.
Woo Sheng explained, "It's where we used to live. Because we were going to build a castle on Heaven Mountain, we named it the Heaven Castle. After so many years, I wonder if the Heaven Castle still exists."
"He's definitely here." Fanfan shouted, "Not even Divine Generals can break into the Heavenly Citadel, so how could it be destroyed by mortals? However, it seems that the Central Plains is not in the Heavenly Citadel."
Ye Zhen suddenly thought of the palace that had suddenly appeared in Northern Border City. Could it be that the palace had sunk to the bottom of the sea and then suddenly appeared in Hua?
"Is the Heavenly Citadel by the sea?" Ye Zhen asked without hesitation.
"No, but it's not far from the sea." Fanfan sighed. "After all, so many years have passed. Who knows where the Heavenly Citadel is?"
Ye Zhen looked at Bu, who was sitting silently in the corner. She faintly felt that Bu must know that the Heavenly Citadel was in the Heavenly Citadel.
Moreover, she didn't want them to go to the Heavenly Citadel these days.
"Sir, do you know that the territory of Hua has expanded several times?" Ming Xi asked Huangfu Chen, still acting like a curious student.
"I know that there was an earthquake and tsunami in Hua, but I didn't know that the island had moved up," Huangfu Chen said helplessly.
When the island moved up, the land area would naturally increase.
Ming Xi thought that Mr. Huangfu was really well protected by the mermaids. He even hid this matter from him.
"No wonder you haven't even seen the palace that emerged from the bottom of the sea. I heard that it's very mysterious. Even the Emperor of Hua has ordered for it to be sealed," Ming Xi said.
An Ge glanced at Ming Xi. "Even if it's sealed, it's not impossible for you to go in and have a look."
An Ge, who was left on the ship to watch over Shui Yichen, was now a little unhappy. He already knew Bu's identity and naturally guessed that she was the one who trapped him on the Turtle Island. Although he was a sage, he was still no match for a big monster. He couldn't do anything and had to sit on the same ship with Shui Yichen.
Therefore, he couldn't be nice to Huangfu Chen.
Bu felt that An Ge was being disrespectful to Huangfu Chen, so she looked at him coldly.
An Ge didn't care at all. He couldn't wait for this mermaid to come and kill him so that he could learn more about her.
"You're right. If I want to go in, Qi Yu will agree," Huangfu Chen said. He didn't take An Ge's words to heart. He heard that An Ge was trapped on the sea for more than a year, and it was probably Bu's doing. He felt a little guilty about it.
"Second brother, didn't you go to see it? Is there anything special about the underwater palace? "Ye Zhen asked Ye Chundong.
Ye Chundong scratched his forehead. He had gone to see it with Ye Yiqing, but it was just a palace emerging from the bottom of the sea. Although it was a palace, it didn't look like one. Moreover, it was full of aquatic plants, and there was a gloomy and fishy smell everywhere. He only glanced at it from a distance and never looked at it closely.
Was there anything special about it?
"It seems … it was built by cutting a mountain. It's a very strange building. If it were now, I'm afraid it would take a lot of manpower to complete it. No, I'm afraid it wouldn't be completed." Ye Chundong said, "The strangest thing is that we can't get in. The lock seems to be broken. No one can open it, no matter what method we use. We wanted to climb in from the window, but we fell down before we reached the window. That's why it's sealed."
It sounded very strange! Ye Zhen looked at Wolong Sheng and saw that he looked normal, as if he didn't find it strange. She thought that he might know what kind of palace it was.
"There's such a magical palace. I really want to go and see it." Ming Xi said.
"That's if we can get in." Ye Chundong said, "Ming Xi, don't take risks."
Ming Xi grinned. "I like adventures."
Ye Zhen looked ahead. They would soon arrive at the Northern Border City. She wondered if there was an underground palace in the Northern Border City.
And Ying Yang … Where was this Primordial Blood Demon whose whereabouts were unknown? Has he woken up, or is he still sleeping in some corner?
