The third layer of the Abyss Brink.
Watching Dongfang Bai of the Union Government leading a group of people into Dynasty’s tent, almost everyone knew that the meeting was more than just them having a cup of tea.
Many were secretly speculating on what the vice chief of the Union Government and the Emperor of Dynasty might talk about.
What astonished many more people was that Dongfang Bai and the others walked out of the tent less than ten minutes later. All their expressions upon coming out were extremely sour.
“What’s wrong? Why are the people from the Union Government wearing such unpleasant expressions?!”
“Those expressions—could it be that something went wrong with the negotiations?”
“According to legend, vice chief of the Union Government Dongfang Bai never displays his feelings. Even if he encounters something extraordinary, his face won’t show anything unusual. What did Mr. Fu and Lin Huang say today that made him completely abandon control of his facial expression?!”
When they saw the expressions of Dongfang Bai and the others, everyone wondered what happened.
Afterward, people saw Lin Huang and Mr. Fu coming out later, looking as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Everyone’s curiosity was suddenly piqued further and they secretly speculated about what had happened in the tent.
The Heretics were also talking about it.
“Boss, go and ask what happened.” A purple-haired girl in pigtails elbowed the Presiding Judge, Sun Zhuo, in the waist.
“I won’t go!” Sun Zhuo immediately s.h.i.+fted his gaze from Dynasty’s camp.
“You’re obviously bursting with curiosity, why don’t you go ask?” The girl, Cao Ya, was persistent.
“I’m not curious.” Sun Zhuo turned and walked toward his tent, his face cold.
“The look in your eyes just now betrayed you; don’t think I can’t see it just because you’re wearing a mask. That look is obviously saying, ‘What happened, I really want to know!’…”
“Shut up, if you want to know, you can go ask yourself!” Sun Zhuo kept walking—out of sight, out of mind. He went straight into his tent.
Seeing that she could not bother the Presiding Judge any further, Cao Ya smiled and turned to look at the Vice Presiding Judge, Zhou Tong.
Before she could say anything, Zhou Tong dug out a booger with his pinky. Lifting his eyes, he met her gaze and flicked his pinky with a bland expression. “Can’t you see that I’m busy? Go ask them yourself!”
After he finished speaking, he put his pinky into his other nostril.
Cao Ya was a little discouraged. She s.h.i.+fted her gaze from Zhou Tong, then looked in Lin Huang’s direction.
Perhaps because he sensed someone staring, Lin Huang turned his head a fraction and caught sight of Cao Ya looking at him.
Cao Ya was taken aback for a moment when their eyes met. She hesitated, then walked slowly over toward the Dynasty contingent.
“Your Majesty, can you tell me a little about what you said to Dongfang Bai just now?” Cao Ya decided to ask anyway when she went over to Lin Huang. “I’m just curious. If you can’t say anything, then just forget about it; treat it like I never asked.”
She did not use voice transmission when she said this so everyone heard her words clearly. They immediately p.r.i.c.ked up their ears and waited for Lin Huang to answer this question.
Lin Huang glanced at the retreating silhouettes of Dongfang Bai and his party. Dongfang Bai had just said that after reporting to the Union Government headquarters, the news would be announced as soon as possible. If they continued to conceal the truth, people would be taken by surprise by when True G.o.ds of medium or even high-rank descended from the great world.
If it was announced now, although it would hurt morale, it could also give everyone a few days to make more adequate preparations.
“The Union Government will make an announcement in the next two days.” Lin Huang did not use voice transmission either and glanced past Cao Ya at the people behind her. “I can only reveal one thing. If we want to deal with the upcoming crisis, everyone must be more prepared.”
Although Lin Huang had not said anything specific, the majority of people fell silent when they heard those words.
