Within the spacious bedroom …
It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping would be ear-piercing.
Blue Lotus and Ye Zichen looked at each other. If an outsider saw this, they would think that they were a pair of lovers looking at each other passionately.
However, as the people involved, they knew very well that wasn't the case.
"I didn't expect you to be so sharp."
After a long silence, Blue Lotus Fairy broke the silence in the room.
Immediately after, she snapped her fingers, and the entire room was enveloped by a mysterious power. Based on Ye Zichen's many years of experience, this seemed to be some sort of seal.
"Please allow me to do this."
"There's a kitty eavesdropping outside. There are some things they shouldn't know."
With that said, Blue Lotus Fairy pulled over a chair and sat down, crossing her legs.
Her fair, supple legs glowed under the sunlight. They were very alluring, but Ye Zichen didn't even glance at them. The only thing he wanted to know was the truth.
"What do you want to ask?"
"You … didn't come here to teach, did you?" Ye Zichen's gaze was solemn. "The way I see it, you didn't come to the Ancestral Dragon Clan just to teach. You came here for something else."
"How did I find out?"
"From your usual behavior," said Ye Zichen. "Actually, I've been paying attention to you. Of course, I won't act smart and say that I've been observing you in secret. I can't rule out the possibility that you intentionally let me see you. I noticed that … you've actually been doing some sort of investigation against the Ancestral Dragon Clan's lords and highnesses, am I right? "
"Anything else?"
"Also, you occasionally reveal an aura that doesn't match your usual state. For example, when I was captured by the Ancestral Dragon Clan, or when you warned us about the Trial Hall, or just now …"
"Was there a problem with that?"
Blue Lotus Deity smiled and shrugged.
"Everything I did just now was for Her Majesty of the Human Race. As a Venerable of the Human Race, I saw that Her Majesty, the future hope of the Human Race, was almost killed. What's wrong with what I did?"
"Blue Lotus Fairy, that's boring, isn't it?"
Ye Zichen shook his head with a wry smile and a long sigh.
"You must know how stupid I am to come up with such an excuse? Just now, were you negotiating with the God of Justice as a Venerable? You were speaking as the representative of the entire human race in the universe. Everything you've just said is based on that special identity of yours. "
"For example, if you call yourself our side …"
"Or perhaps, you accurately reported the time when the Venerable's guard arrived. This series of events proves that you have a special identity, and the God of Justice happens to know of this identity of yours. The two of you must have met before."
Blue Lotus Deity, who was sitting on a chair, raised her eyebrows slightly.
Her slender fingers, which were as fair as jade, gently pinched her head twice and involuntarily let out a sigh.
"Alright, I'll tell you the truth then. I'm the observer of Her Majesty and Her Highness. I'll present all of your performances here to the Human Race's octagonal table to evaluate you. I'll decide the amount of resources that the Human Race will give you after you return to the Human Race from the Ancestral Dragon Clan, as well as the intensity of nurturing."
"No, that's not everything."
When Blue Lotus Deity revealed everything, even when she mentioned her identity as an observer and the purpose of the Human Race's Octagonal Table's evaluation, Ye Zichen did not seem surprised at all, nor did he pursue the matter. Instead, he looked at Blue Lotus Deity with a deep gaze.
To him …
What Blue Lotus Deity said was only the surface.
What he wanted to know was a deeper layer of her identity.
"I already told you my identity. Is there anything else you're dissatisfied with?" Blue Lotus Deity frowned. "Milky Way Lord, don't be so suspicious. I'm telling you everything right now."
"No! That's not it! "
When Ye Zichen said that with certainty, the room fell into a long silence once again.
"What other identity do you think I have?" Blue Lotus Deity asked softly.
"A higher one!" Ye Zichen replied softly. "Your identity should be even higher than this so-called observer. At the very least, you should be on par with the leaders of the Octagonal Table, or even higher. I even suspect that the leaders of the Octagonal Table might not be as high as you. "
Blue Lotus Fairy remained silent. Ye Zichen shrugged as he looked at her silent expression,
"Looks like this question is a bit too in-depth. Let me change to a relatively weaker question.
”
"What is the purpose of your plan this time? Using me as bait, aren't you afraid that I'll really die? Or did you make a perfect calculation and coincidentally calculate that … I'll have one last breath left, and that's why you made such a decision. "
"What are you talking about?" Blue Lotus Fairy suddenly laughed.
"Assassination!"
Ye Zichen answered decisively.
"The assassination this time wasn't an accident at all. It was your plan. I am the foreshadowing of the entire plan, while your motive is to scheme against the Ancestral Dragon Race. If there were no accidents, the number of Sovereigns and Overlords that would arrive in three days' time would not be small, and their strength would not be weak either. Let me guess, is it a Nine-Faced Overlord or some other peak Overlord? "
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Fairy Blue Lotus smiled as she shook her head.
"Alright, then I'll put it more bluntly," Ye Zichen pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows. Ye Zichen pursed his lips and arched his brows. "Why is it that none of the hundreds of human sovereigns and overlords who've come here have come despite my assassination attempt? Oh, no, I can't say that none of them came. I should say that there were a few, but unfortunately, none of them were able to save me from Supremacy Scarletflame.
Apart from them, there was you, Blue Lotus Fairy!
Apart from that, not a single Venerable One came even after we left.
I was assassinated!
That's shocking enough, right?
Why didn't those Sovereigns and Overlords even look at me? Do they not care about my life or death at all?
Based on what you said …
You used your identity as a Venerable to argue for the Human Race, but why didn't those Venerables and Overlords come and speak up for me? Don't they know … that their presence can put more pressure on the Ancestral Dragon Race?
I think they should understand this principle.
There's only one possibility why they didn't come. They already knew that I would be assassinated, and they received the news beforehand to not act rashly and ruin your plan. They obeyed the orders of the human race's higher-ups, so they chose to ignore it.
This was all part of the human race's plan, wasn't it? "
Not long after Ye Zichen finished speaking, Blue Lotus Fairy smiled and nodded repeatedly with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
"Milky Way Lord, you … pass!"
