While everyone was lost in thought, Elder Yin took another leisurely sip of tea. He slowly glanced around, his gaze finally resting on Jueqing Buddhist Disciple. When Jueqing Buddhist Disciple looked back at him, he did not avoid the gaze, but slowly asked, "This... Buddhist Disciple, could you please tell me your speculation?"
Everyone looked up at the same time, looking at the heartless Buddhist with curiosity and anticipation.
"Amitabha, I'm a monk, so naturally I don't understand worldly love." Jueqing Buddhist took out the Buddhist beads from his wrist and slowly slid them in his hand. His face was very calm and he said, "I don't think she loves the Demon King. She has her own love in her heart. But since she has become the queen of the demon world, she will definitely not do anything that will harm the demon world. She knows her responsibilities."
"I believe the queen was harmed by something in the coral and by the demon king."
He knew that she had always been a very responsible woman. She was as beautiful as the sun during the day and the bright moon at night. But in the end, she was harmed by the Demon King and the people in the demon world. How could he not hate her!
When the heartless Buddhist said his last words, even those present, as naive as Zhu Qingwu or as slow-witted as Chen Yin, could feel the coldness in his words.
Just when everyone was surprised by the tone of the heartless Buddhist, and before they had time to think about why he said that, Elder Yin suddenly burst into laughter.
When everyone first heard Elder Yin's loud laughter, they thought that Jueqing Buddhist had guessed wrong, which caused Yin Zhanglai to laugh as if he had heard a joke. But the next moment, everyone saw endless sadness in Elder Yin's eyes, and the laughter sounded like embarrassment as if he was exposed, and the laughter sounded more like crying.
"As expected of a Buddhist disciple from Foshan Temple, you are completely right." Elder Yin said as he lowered his head and took another sip of tea. From the looks of it, the tea tasted as bitter as wine.
"Ah, so the Demon King doesn't love the Queen?" Perhaps too surprised, Zhu Qingwu immediately expressed his thoughts after hearing the answer: "How is this possible? Didn't the senior say before that the Demon King dotes on the Queen? Is that just an act?"
After Zhu Qingwu finished speaking, many cultivators nodded, obviously they also thought so in their hearts.
If this is true, combined with the information I just came into contact with, everything becomes extremely terrifying when I think about it.
The demon king does not love the queen, but pretends to be so fond of her in front of the outside world, which shows that he has a big plan. In the end, the demon king was surrounded and killed by the elders. Did they discover his true face?
"Alas, you are overthinking it." Before everyone could continue to think, Elder Yin interrupted everyone. After only a short period of contact, he really admired the imagination of these young people.
"You may still be young, and you may not understand the resources and power that comes with being the master of a realm. Even if the Demon King wants something, as long as it doesn't harm the demon world, he can easily command others to find it for him." Elder Yin was silent for a moment before saying, "Life isn't like the stories you children read... In short, the king's love for the queen is completely real."
"If it's true, how could the queen die at his hands?" Zhu Qingwu was the first to ask, but then he felt impolite and sat down silently. He smiled awkwardly and then explained softly, "What I mean is that although you elders have profound cultivation and have lived for a long time, people's hearts are hidden. After all, you don't have a Taoist partner. Could it be that you were deceived by the former Demon King's superb acting skills?"
Zhu Qingwu, who initially believed that the elders would not make a mistake in judging people, also changed his mind because of the changes in the situation.
"Hahahaha, your suspicion is justified." Elder Yin was not angry. He gathered his emotions and continued slowly, "But what if I say that the Demon King didn't know that the Queen had another love in her heart?"
"What?" Zhu Qingwu's mind was already beginning to get confused. "You mean, the Demon King was so kind to the Queen before because he didn't know she loved someone else at the time, but after he found out about it, he killed her?"
"No, no, no." Elder Yin shook his head. He seemed to be tired of playing and continued to tell the story.
"When the king and the queen got married, he actually knew in his heart that the queen didn't love him. He confidently told me at that time that he believed that love would grow over time. He felt that as long as he was good enough to the queen, the queen would definitely fall in love with him."
"To be honest, the king's life hasn't been full of twists and turns. There's nothing he can't accomplish if he wants to. So, he firmly believes that the queen will fall in love with him."
"But in this matter, the king has been defeated step by step. Of course, the king has also become more and more courageous. In my eyes, the king's love for the queen was not that deep at the beginning, but in the process of him and the queen getting along continuously, the queen did not change much, but he himself fell deeper and deeper." Elder Yin couldn't help but shake his head and sneered when he said this.
"The king has become much calmer since his marriage, and has become much more attentive to state affairs. Just when we old folks thought we could retire from court in peace, the king, who had never shown the queen a cold face, suddenly flew into a rage after returning from a trip to the Wanjie Mountain."
"You all came here from 卍界山. You should know what its geographical location is like." The elder sighed before continuing, "Ever since the king gave 卍界山 to the queen, the queen has lived there most of the time. She rarely stays in the palace, and no one knows what she has said to the king. The king rarely goes to 卍界山 to disturb the queen."
"What I didn't expect was that the king, after only breaking his custom once, returned to the palace in a rage. He smashed many things in the palace and locked himself in his bedroom, refusing to come out again."
"The king's chamber has the best protective formation in the demon world. Even for us old guys, it's difficult to break the formation from the outside. No matter how we persuade him, the king won't respond. The king is really angry this time."
Having said this, Elder Yin fell silent for a long time, then picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, followed by another long sigh.
"Could it be that the Demon King discovered that the Queen was hiding a man on the Wanjie Mountain?" Some cultivator couldn't help but speak out his guess.
"Bang!" Then there was a loud slamming of the table. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found it was Elder Yin. He was still a little angry at this moment and scolded, "Although our demon race doesn't have as many rules and etiquette as humans, as a noble lady of the fox clan, the queen would not do such a thing even if she didn't like the king."
"I'm sorry, I'm the younger generation who was rude." The owner of the voice just now quickly apologized.
