Chapter 258 The Miserable Bai Zhi” (2/2)
While Bai Zhi was enduring the second greatest humiliation of her life, another huge stir was currently taking place inside the palace. It was the king. Rushing out to the main reception hall, this ruler of the kingdom was very eager to receive the divine looking elder that had just arrived on scene.
“Elder Thunder,” first making sure his posture was right, Nangong Yuan (king) steps forward with a charming smile. “We’ve been expecting your arrival for a while now. Please, come this way. Umm, that cage behind you, would we be privy to know what’s inside?”
What the king was referring to was the massive cage also being lifted into the hall. Aside from this elder of the Demon Beast Sect himself coming today, there’s also a retinue of powerful men in charge of carrying a giant cage. However, due to the thing being veiled with a giant blanket, none could get a precise look inside.
Make no mistake though, the pressure exuding out of whatever’s caged inside cannot be hidden by a mere fabric. It’s ominous and threatening, hence the reason why the king would immediately inquire about its content.
“Your Majesty, let us find another location before we talk. This place is not very convenient.” With a frown, the elder directly skipped the question and made his demand instead. It’s pretty obvious this elder of the Demon Beast Sect didn’t hold the king as his equal.
Somewhat taken aback by the rude remark, Nangong Yuan (king) could only force himself to continue with that rigid smile: “Yes, yes, I understand. Please follow me Elder Thunder.”
With the formalities complete, the king then led the way for the main study room.
“Elder Thunder, this place should be adequate for whatever is in your mind,” Nangong Yuan waves everyone way to leave only them alone for further discussion.
Nodding in approval, the elder didn’t beat around the bush and went straight into the topic: “The reasoning for my arrival this time is to seek the destined child of the animal worship incident. When the time comes, I want Your Majesty to gather every child of kingdom for assessment. The palace courtyard will be suitable. ”
Now this was unexpected for the king. Somewhat surprised in his reaction, “Elder Thunder, aren’t you here for my grandson Nangong Lin?”
“Nangong Lin?” Those old brows had furrowed into a knot at the unfamiliar name, “I don’t know such a person so why would I be here for him?”
From green to white, the king’s expression was very ugly right now: “But my grandson is the cause of that incident. Elder Thunder, there’s no need to wait. I can have someone bring the child here immediately for your assessment.”
