Chapter 2078 Test
(4, 0);
"My dear guest, what is this...?"
Hearing Lin Yue's question, the lame old man looked puzzled and said in confusion.
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
Although the two men's voices were not loud, they still attracted the attention of the two middle-aged men at the same table. Under their gaze, the lame old man looked a little frightened, and even a barely perceptible mark of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"If I'm not mistaken, these dishes are all made of rotten meat, right?" Lin Yue said coldly.
"this……"
The lame old man was stunned at first, then quickly explained.
"Your Excellency has misunderstood! Our clan has no intention of offending you. The raw materials of these dishes are precious ingredients donated to our clan by the Luoyue Gathering Place. Eating them can naturally increase your strength. They are one of the most precious ingredients in Beimo City!"
As he spoke, the lame old man motioned Lin Yue to look at the people at other tables. He saw that they immediately started to wolf down the food as soon as the dishes were served, without any sign of their previous pampered appearance.
"Even they don't often get to eat such high-quality ingredients."
Seeing those people's performance, Lin Yue's expression eased a little.
"I see. I am sorry for being rude."
The lame old man at the side also said to the woman in gauze clothes with great insight, "Quickly notify the kitchen to prepare two servings of home-cooked dishes and send them up!"
"Yes, sir." The woman in gauze nodded respectfully, turned around and walked away.
At the same time, the lame old man noticed that the two middle-aged men's gazes on him disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The other tribesmen thought that he was the leader of the entire clan and had a noble and supreme status, but only he knew that he was no different from a dog in front of those ancestors...
The two middle-aged men and women with cold expressions at the same table wanted to see Lin Yue's two ancestors with their own eyes. If they disliked the lame old man, the position of the family patriarch would be replaced by another person the next day, and the lame old man's fate would naturally be self-evident.
"Thank you, old man."
Lin Yue and Qing Bingying looked at each other and spoke.
They also realized that the eating habits of the people in Beimo City were somewhat unusual, but what had just happened was definitely not directed at the two of them.
However, the performance of the lame old man was somewhat beyond Lin Yue's expectations. He did not expect that the other party's attitude would be so humble after the incident, and the little actions that the lame old man thought were very covert were also seen by Lin Yue.
"What are the identities of these two middle-aged men?" Lin Yue thought to himself.
He could see that the lame old man was deeply wary of the two men, but the strange thing was that the other people in the clan seemed not to know them.
"It seems that this town still hides many secrets..."
Hiding his doubts deep in his heart, there was no sign of anything unusual on Lin Yue's face.
Not long after, the re-prepared dishes were brought up by the woman in gauze. The ingredients used this time were much more normal, but the taste was still a little strange. Thinking of the difference in eating habits, Lin Yue and the others did not say anything, but just put down their tableware silently.
During this time, the lame old man kept talking to Lin Yue and the others about the current situation of Beimo City. Lin Yue also revealed some information from the outside world. Whenever this happened, the two middle-aged men would prick up their ears and listen carefully.
After discovering this, Lin Yue specifically explained the current situation in the Snowy Wind Region. When they learned that all living creatures in the Snowy Wind Region had been wiped out, a hint of surprise visibly appeared on the faces of the two middle-aged men.
After keeping their performance in mind, Lin Yue suddenly changed the subject and asked the lame old man.
"Elder, when can we two read the scroll of inheritance?"
Seeing this, Qing Bingying also spoke up, "We have no idea how to leave this world right now. If we could have read the information recorded in the scroll of inheritance earlier, we could have found a way to leave this world earlier."
After hearing what the two said, the lame old man pondered for a moment, glanced at the two middle-aged men, and slowly answered.
"You two distinguished guests' suggestion is very good. I will have someone arrange it right away. Someone will notify you when everything is ready."
"Yeah." Lin Yue nodded without changing his expression, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.
The lame old man still did not give an exact time this time, and it was difficult for Lin Yue to guess what the other party was planning.
After the dinner, Lin Yue and the other person returned to the guest room under the guidance of the woman in gauze.
As soon as they entered the room, they checked carefully to make sure that no one had sneaked in while they were away, and then they exchanged their views on the dinner.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you feel something strange?" Qing Bingying asked with her cheeks puffed out.
The dishes at the dinner were so inedible that she had no choice but to take out the dry food she had prepared and start eating it.
"Well... tell me about your discovery first." Lin Yue asked back.
Qing Bingying thought for a moment, then said, "For example, those people we saw at the dinner, we had never seen them before on our way through the city."
Hearing Qing Bingying's words, Lin Yue nodded.
When I came here under the guidance of the man in black, I saw some plain-clothed civilians and young men working hard to cultivate the land with their upper bodies bare. I didn't see any of the people at the banquet. (5,0);
Qing Bingying then continued, "Also, the man and woman sitting at the same table with us are very strange. There is not even a trace of breath on them. If they didn't move, I would have thought they were corpses..."
Sure enough, even Qing Bingying noticed the abnormality of the two middle-aged men. However, it was these two strange people that actually made the lame old man who had a very high status in the clan so afraid. Lin Yue knew the trick without even thinking about it.
The lame old man is only in charge of the entire clan in name only; the real ruler is someone else!
So it wasn't that the lame old man had been preventing them from reading the volume of inheritance, but that he didn't dare to make the decision on his own without the consent of those people.
Thinking of this, Lin Yue began to ponder in his mind how he could see the volume of inheritance earlier.
At the same time, the dinner venue had become empty. All the invited guests had left, leaving only the lame old man and the two middle-aged men and women sitting at the table at the front.
After seeing that the last maid had left, the lame old man quickly stood up and spoke respectfully to the two middle-aged men.
"Two ancestors, that outsider may have some doubts. Do we still need to let him observe the scroll of inheritance?"
