Xiao Chen looked at the old man with an expressionless face, but his heart sank.
Although he was not completely sure, he was almost certain that the old guy was not deceiving him but really knew it.
what to do?
"You don't have to be afraid..."
Seeing Xiao Chen's silence, the old man smiled slightly.
"I'm not afraid."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of Mao. I was just thinking about whether I should silence you."
It shouldn't be difficult to kill this old guy, but the follow-up is difficult.
He comes and the old guy disappears?
What about the explanation to the King of Siam?
Unless he also destroyed the King of Siam and others.
That would be a bit difficult to operate.
After destroying the Siamese royal family, what about Buddhism?
So, it is easy to kill the old guy, but how to erase this matter is the most difficult.
He couldn't just say, I met your ancestor...your ancestor got so excited that 'bang' he exploded on the spot, right?
What he said was a bit insulting to the intelligence of the King of Siam.
That's unacceptable.
"So what are you thinking about?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Thinking about how to explain it?"
"no."
Xiao Chen shook his head. Of course he couldn't say what he was thinking.
"Haha, don't worry. No one knows about this except me."
The old man smiled.
"Even the ninth King of Siam doesn't know."
"oh?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. What did the old man mean by saying this?
However, what he said should be true.
If the King of Siam knew that the Emerald Buddha was stolen by him, he would not have no reaction.
If he really knew it but didn't show it, then his acting skills... were really amazing.
"That night, you came to the palace, and after the Holy See of Light stole the Jade Buddha from the Jade Buddha Temple, you killed them and stole the Jade Buddha."
The old man spoke slowly. If his tone just now was not so sure, Xiao Chen's reaction made him more certain of his guess.
"There's a Chinese saying, 'The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it.' And you are the oriole, right?"
“…”
Xiao Chen didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
It's already this time, there's no point in denying it.
He was a little curious. The old man knew the truth but didn't tell anyone... What was the purpose behind this?
"Are you curious about how I know this?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"That night, as soon as something happened at the Jade Buddha Temple, I noticed it... and I am very sensitive to auras. Since you appeared there, I remember your aura."
“…”
A strange look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Aura? Dog nose?
Is this old guy born in the year of the dog?
"Later, the Holy See of Light denied it, and I thought of you... There was a third party that night, and that was you."
The old man seemed somewhat proud when he said this, as if everything was under his control.
"I recognized you immediately after you came to the palace again..."
"last night?"
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and asked.
"right."
The old man nodded.
"I just suspected it before, but last night I was sure of it."
"I'm very curious, why didn't you stop the robbery of the Jade Buddha that night?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked again.
"Why should I stop it?"
The old man asked back.
"Um?"
Xiao Chen was stunned.
"Aren't the royal family and Buddhism one and the same? The Jade Buddha is also the most precious treasure of Siam."
"Over the years, Buddhism has become stronger, especially this generation of monk kings, whose strength has surpassed the ninth king of Siam... The Jade Buddha has the power of faith, and I think you know this."
The old man said in a calm tone.
"The Jade Buddha can make the Monk King and the powerful Buddhists stronger..."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart moved, and he vaguely understood something.
This old guy could have stopped it, but he didn't... He also hoped that the Jade Buddha would be 'lost', so as to prevent the Monk King from becoming stronger?
It seems that the relationship between the royal family and Buddhism is more complicated than they imagined!
This also matches his previous guess. Strength is everything. The monk king is so powerful, why does Buddhism still have to rely on the royal family?
It seems that the royal family is also wary of Buddhism.
Otherwise, the old guy wouldn't do this.
The art of emperorship?
Xiao Chen looked at the old man. He was once the King of Siam and was a master of the art of ruling.
"You seem to have thought of it?"
The old man asked with a smile.
"I thought of one thing."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"You can stop it but if you don't, won't the monk king be suspicious?"
"No, I have a reason not to stop it... or rather, a reason not to show up."
The old man shook his head.
"Even if the monk king has doubts, he can't do anything."
"You can't leave the palace? But the Jade Buddha Temple is also within the palace."
Xiao Chen stared at the old man. This was something he had tried to test before.
"Haha, no need to test me anymore. I can go anywhere I want."
The old man smiled.
“…”
Xiao Chen frowned. Was he wrong? Or was this old guy lying?
He prefers the latter.
Maybe, I can find an opportunity to try it.
"You and I are the only ones who know about the Jade Buddha... I won't say much, but you have to promise me one thing."
The old man continued.
"What's up?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"After this battle, when you have used up the Jade Buddha, return it to me."
The old man said seriously.
"What you want is the power of faith, which can be given to you. But the Emerald Buddha has a different meaning in Siam."
"Come back?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and nodded.
"Can."
"Okay, then this is equivalent to a secret between you and me..."
The old man laughed.
"I help you to check and control the monk king and become stronger. What's the benefit?"
Xiao Chen also smiled.
"Um?"
The old man was stunned. Benefits?
"Without me, perhaps the monk king would use the Jade Buddha to become stronger. At that time... would Buddhism still listen to the royal family? So, from this point of view, I helped you and the royal family, didn't I?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
“…”
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, the old man was really confused. Isn't this kid too shameless?
After stealing the Jade Buddha, you’re still asking for benefits from him?
He had never seen... such a shameless person!
"Are you sure you want benefits?"
The old man leaned forward slightly, and a terrifying pressure spread out.
He felt that this boy was too ignorant. How dare he ask him for favors?
Do you really think he has a good temper?
Xiao Chen felt this terrifying pressure, but his smile remained unchanged: "Yes, I think I helped you a lot."
“Haha…hahaha.”
The old man was so angry that he laughed.
"Boy, you have already taken the Jade Buddha... If I leave you here, I can also prevent the monk king from becoming stronger, right?"
"Leave me here? Are you stronger than the god Nawa?"
Xiao Chen took out a cigarette, threw one into his mouth and lit it.
He was not nervous at all, and if a war really broke out, he would not be afraid at all.
"Nava God..."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man's eyes flashed, and the violent pressure was restrained a little.
He met Xiao Chen today, not only for the jade Buddha, but also to learn about the secret realm.
He already knew what happened there.
He also had some idea of how powerful the God Nawa was.
"Oh, by the way, did you just ask me what I was thinking about?"
Xiao Chen blew out smoke rings, seemed to have thought of something, and asked.
"Actually, I was thinking, since you know that the Jade Buddha is in my hands, then... can I kill you to silence you? Oh, no, you are no longer a human being, so I will just kill you anyway."
“…”
The old man stared at Xiao Chen, looking very uneasy.
This kid actually wanted to kill him?
"I can destroy the god Nawa, tell me, can I destroy you?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
“…”
The old man narrowed his eyes and slowly stood up.
"Why, do you want to try? You only have one chance... Remember, you not only decide your own life and death, but also the life and death of the Siamese royal family."
Xiao Chen looked at the old man and his voice became a little colder.
“…”
The old man was also staring at Xiao Chen in silence.
He was very angry just now, but now he has calmed down.
He thought that he was not as strong as Nawa God.
It is a fact that Xiao Chen killed the God Nawa.
Before, he was quite shocked when he heard about this.
But when he really met Xiao Chen, he felt that Xiao Chen was too young and looked down on him a little.
Now... he put away his contempt. If Xiao Chen didn't have this ability, would he be so calm now?
One chance?
Would you like to try it?
Xiao Chen was smoking a cigarette with a cold expression, his mind focused on the bone ring.
As long as this old guy dares to move, he can summon the Xuanyuan Sword in an instant.
If he really wants to take action, he plans to make the Siamese palace a river of blood tonight!
If you don't remove the roots of the problem, there will be endless trouble!
It would be a bit troublesome for him and Lance, but it could be done.
Even if the King of Monks comes, it will be useless!
"What benefit do you want?"
A cold and old voice sounded in the hall.
The old man made a decision and took a step back.
He was not sure if he could kill Xiao Chen. If he failed, it would be a disaster for him and the Siamese royal family.
After hearing the old man's words, Xiao Chen felt relieved. If he could avoid fighting, he would.
Who knows how strong this old monster is.
It is estimated that it cannot be done in a short period of time.
And this is the royal palace, there must be many powerful people here.
If you risk it, you can kill, but it's difficult not to pay the price.
"I want to know how you can sense me from a distance."
Xiao Chen thought about it and said.
In fact, he hadn't thought about what benefit he wanted just now, he just said it casually.
However, now that the old guy has given in, it would be a waste if I didn't give it up.
As for gold, silver and treasures, he is not interested.
It’s an excessive request, and I don’t think this old guy will agree to it.
He actually wanted to say, let me swallow it. If he really said that, the old guy would definitely get angry.
He was still quite curious about Siam's method of cultivation.
As the dominant force in this land, the Siamese royal family definitely possesses the most powerful cultivation methods.
Moreover, it may be related to the soul.
He still knew too little about the soul.
Although he has the 'Chaos Art' and the 'Return to the Origin Art', he still needs to learn more, perhaps he will gain something else.
"No, change it."
The old man refused without even thinking about it.
"Just this."
Seeing that he refused so readily, Xiao Chen became even more excited. This was definitely not a simple matter.
"Boy, do you really think I dare not do anything?"
The old man's voice turned cold.
