Chapter 98 I don’t treat any of you as outsiders
Yuan Ziyun's questioning voice was deliberately amplified by him, as if he was afraid that people around him could not hear it, and he asked back in a sarcastic tone.
"No, you really have become mute? I didn't believe it at first!"
Yuan Ziyun had forgotten the pain after his wound healed. He had just been beaten, and now his eyes were full of mockery. He was simply courting death.
"That's right. After hanging out with those low-level orcs from the Zhangwei tribe for so long, I'm afraid you've forgotten how to speak human language. So before we go to the central city, we need to learn how to speak human language quickly to avoid making a fool of ourselves!"
"Say it again." Ling Rui spoke coldly, his voice was low and hoarse, but it seemed to contain ice chips.
He lowered the tip of his knife slightly, aiming it at Yuan Ziyun's throat. "I see you can't speak either. Do I want to destroy your throat as well?"
Yuan Ziyun broke out in layers of cold sweat, but when he saw that the other party was the powerless Ling Rui, he quickly calmed down and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He slowly pushed away Ling Rui's blade, betting that he wouldn't dare to attack.
"Young Master Ling, I kindly advise you that instead of wasting your life in a barbaric tribe with such trash, you should return to the central city as soon as possible and think about how to keep the cat tribe alive for a little longer."
The raven's feather suddenly flew into the air and pierced Yuan Ziyun's collar.
Before he could even blink, Yuan Ziyun was nailed to a tree behind him.
Raven's dark eyes shone coldly: "Then you might as well think about it. I, a person without any ties, dare to fight you to the death."
Yuan Ziyun avoided the raven's dark eyes. From childhood to adulthood, he would feel very cautious whenever he saw this ominous bird.
"Let me go, who the hell do you think you are?"
With the help of his guards, he floundered back to the ground, took out a crumpled letter from his clothes and threw it on the ground.
"The Saint Female's birthday is coming soon. The Beast King will host a banquet. Nobles of all ranks will be in attendance. I grant you amnesty and allow you to leave Zhangwei and return to the Central City to celebrate the Saint Female's birthday together."
"Here are the invitations. It's up to you whether you want to go or not. However... this banquet is so grand and magnificent. As the Saint's sister, it would be unreasonable for me not to do you an honor!"
Everyone looked at each other, with complicated emotions in their eyes.
It was indeed unexpected that Yuan Ziyun came uninvited this time with this news.
Pei Xiaoxing knew the most about the affairs of the Central City, and of course he knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet.
He suddenly took a step forward and stepped on the invitation that had been thrown to the ground as if nothing had happened. "Well, I'm sorry, my wife is busy with work and has no time to keep the appointment."
Yuan Ziyun was not annoyed. "I know, you're just worried about her losing face! She's already ugly and dumb, and now she's mute. Compared to our angelically beautiful White Peacock Saint, she pales in comparison and can't even stand up to the standard!"
As he spoke, he smiled maliciously, turned his head to look at Sheng Ran's face, and wanted to continue to make a few sarcastic remarks, but was suddenly stunned.
Yuan Ziyun has been using his eyes for a long time and his eyesight is a little poor. He didn't notice any changes in Sheng Ran when he looked at her from a distance.
At this moment, she came out of the room and got closer. He actually felt that Sheng Ran was much more beautiful than before!
Is this still her? Did I find the wrong person?
"Are you... Sheng Ran?" Yuan Ziyun couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Zhu Jiuyin roared in dissatisfaction, "I'll count to three, and either get out of here or die without a complete corpse."
Yuan Ziyun looked at this high-level orc, whose identity he didn't know, with fear and gritted his teeth.
Anyway, the post has been sent out. Even if I fail to kidnap these people and bring them to the Saint to claim credit, at least I can bring back the news that she is mute.
Yuan Ziyun knew when to stop and turned around to leave. Four guards carried him, who was covered in injuries, and crawled out of the yard.
Ling Rui slammed the gate shut.
Sheng Ran squatted down to pick up the post, her fingertips turned white, then she looked up at Zhu Jiuyin, her eyes full of confusion - why did he suddenly come here?
Zhu Jiuyin squatted down, put on a sunny face, and rubbed her cheek with the tip of his tail: "I felt your breath and knew you were back. I can't wait to see you!"
He paused, looked at her pale face, and softened his voice, "Ignore what he said."
Ling Rui also immediately defended himself: "My dear wife, don't worry, the cat tribe has not reached the point of complete desolation. I will accompany you well at the end of the chapter and will not return to the central city easily!"
Raven said, "We will also tighten our guard in the future and won't let him get close to us again."
Pei Xiaoxing nodded: "If my wife feels that Zhangwei is unsafe, we will find a peaceful place to settle down after the exile period is over."
Huaijun added: "Wherever you go, I will go."
Sheng Ran looked at them in surprise. How could all of them be so good at speaking?
She lowered her eyes again and carefully examined the invitation in her hand.
I picked up a stick and wrote: [But I didn’t say I wouldn’t go.]
Everyone was surprised, "What does the wife mean - go?!"
Sheng Ran curled up the corners of her lips slightly and nodded silently.
There's no use hiding.
Of course, she had to meet the people in Central City in person to find out who else, besides Yuan Ziyu, was so persistent in wanting to kill her.
What's more, her muteness is already a fact and will eventually be spread.
Seeing how incompetent she was, those people might have given up their intention to kill her.
Zhu Jiuyin stared blankly at the smile on her lips, lowered his head and rubbed the back of her hand: "Don't be afraid, we are here."
His words made the other beastmen very dissatisfied, but they could not find any fault with it.
No, Zhu Jiuyin hasn't married yet, right? She really treats herself as a family member. How can she be so familiar with others?
Even Pei Xiaoxing twitched his lips speechlessly, and no one wanted to respond.
Huai Jun looked at the mess around him. The vines that had played a key role just now were now leaning against the ground withered.
He couldn't help but ask Zhu Jiuyin, "When did you develop plant-related abilities, and how did you do it?"
You know, having two superpowers is already rare enough. How long has it been since then, and Zhu Jiuyin has actually awakened a third superpower?
He has always wanted to master a new ability other than water-related abilities, so that the scope of application will be wider.
Zhu Jiuyin choked, "I——"
He was talking nonsense just now.
The vines that launched the attack were not controlled by him, but it seemed more like Sheng Ran did it unconsciously.
He was afraid of being exposed in front of Yuan Ziyun, so he deliberately covered it up.
Ling Rui also noticed this.
He always felt that the image of swaying vines looked familiar, and after thinking carefully he realized that he had indeed seen it before.
On the day Sheng Ran went up the mountain for the first time and was attacked by an assassin, Pei Xiaoxing was affected by the curse and could not keep up, leaving him alone to protect his wife.
He had just suffered a serious injury at that time and had tried his best, but he was still somewhat unable to withstand it.
At that time, it seemed that several vines were seen protecting her and blocking the killer's hidden weapons.
There were so many things happening at that time that Ling Rui just thought it was a coincidence and didn't take it to heart.
But the same situation happened again, and Ling Rui concluded that this matter was not simple at all.
"Actually, I think—" He took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
But as soon as he met Huai Jun's eyes, he hesitated again.
My wife's special physical condition has always been kept secret as long as possible.
At this moment, not only did he have to discuss it openly with Zhu Jiuyin, but he also had to expose it in front of Huai Jun, who was originally unaware of it.
It's too risky.
Until Sheng Ran's action broke the deadlock.
[Everyone, please share what you have to say.]
[I don't consider any of you as outsiders.]
