Chapter 277: Danger in Civic Domain
The next morning, as soon as Su Chenyu opened the door, someone rushed into her arms. Siyu hugged Su Chenyu's waist, raised his head and shouted, "Sister."
Nanny Xu changed Ciyu into a set of green clothes and tied up his hair. At first glance, he looked like a handsome little boy.
"Have you had breakfast?" Su Chenyu asked.
Madam Xu added, "Siyu has been clamoring to see you since early morning, refusing to eat, and insists on seeing you first before he can feel at ease."
Su Chenyu took Ciyu's hand and walked downstairs: "Then let's go downstairs to have breakfast together."
The waiter had already placed breakfast on the table. Su Chenyu, Li Li Yanqing and Ciyu sat at the same table. Su Chenyu handed a bun to Ciyu, who immediately took the bun and started eating happily.
"Why did you have to see me this morning?" Su Chenyu asked suddenly.
Civic put down the buns and said, "I was sleeping last night and saw the inn was on fire."
"The inn caught fire?" Su Chenyu guessed that Civic should be looking at the future scene.
Just when Ciyu wanted to continue, she suddenly vomited all over the floor and fell backwards. Fortunately, Su Chenyu was quick to protect her: "Madam Xu, come and see what's going on with Ciyu?"
Aunt Xu was also frightened by Ciyu's condition. After carrying Ciyu back to the room, she immediately checked her physical condition. Su Chenyu and Li Liyanqing were standing by, and seeing Aunt Xu frowning, they asked, "Is Ciyu in a serious condition?"
Aunt Xu said in a somewhat strange tone: "Why did she suddenly have a high fever?"
"She was fine while eating, and told me her dream..." Su Chenyu stopped talking here. She looked at Civic, who was lying on the bed with a high fever and a flushed face. She suddenly realized something, "It's a prophecy!"
Li Yanqing understood what Su Chenyu meant, but Aunt Xu was still confused: "What does this mean?"
"Ciyu has the ability to predict the future. Now she doesn't understand her predictive power, so she thinks it's a dream." Su Chenyu sighed, "No wonder the Xixia State Master's tenure is so short. Predicting the future is against the will of heaven. If you break the will of heaven, you will die young. Ciyu told me the scene in the dream, and my body couldn't bear it, so I suddenly had a high fever."
Li Liyanqing continued to speculate: "People who can predict the future can't be found everywhere. Ciyu said before that once they enter the underground palace, they will use incense to fall asleep to find out what they can dream about. Is Ciyu the next national teacher chosen by them? That's why when you rescued Ciyu, there were people from the underground palace protecting her."
"Then it would be cruel to Civic or the other children."
Before being captured and thrown into the Black Mountain Underground Palace, every child, whether good or evil, or even ignorant, was forced to accept a new world, spending every day in killing, hoping to be the winner in the end.
But the fact is, what they expected was nothing from the beginning. As the national teacher, it was destined from the beginning that they were all sparring partners.
And what will be the fate of the chosen child?
Just like Civic, she doesn't want to kill, but the people in the underground palace will let other children kill her. In such an environment, how long can Civic keep the kindness in her heart? Will she become a completely different person in a few years?
Even if she paid such a huge price, for the sake of being a respected national master, how long would she live? The national master said that she was just a chess piece that the Black Mountain Underground Palace had been cultivating for its own status.
It has been like this for generations. How many corpses are buried in the Black Mountains? I am afraid that even the guardians themselves cannot count them.
