“Ask him e’re not allowed to live!” someone finished off his sentence The old man turned to the sound of the voice and found soee clothes But his eyes were surly and arrogant, and his calloused hands were that of a soldier’s, not a civilian
“What are you staring at?” the man asked the old
“Let’s go!” that man led the way down the streets
“We’ll carry these brothers with us!” someone else shouted froht!”
The pained cries of the poisoned refugees, coned to fan the fla up their suffering brethren and following the leader to the palace The people in charge of the porridge had long hidden the prey to poison Now they could only watch the crowd head towards the palace, helpless

“The refugees haveleader of the capital militia murmured to Grand Preceptor Xie
Grand Preceptor Xie glanced at the addled youth in Shadowthunder’s arms before he said coldly, “Let them in”
The soldier gave a start
Grand Preceptor Xie leveled him with a look “Well?”
The soldier bowed his head and said, “This soldier understands”
Ning Xiaoyao was standing a bit farther away from Grand Preceptor Xie by now, but she still heard each and every word Refugees? Ning Xiaoyao rubbed her nose What does this have to do with the refugees? What to do when she didn’t understand? Naturally, run to Lou Zigui and ask him
“Refugees?” Lou Zigui creased his brows at Ning Xiaoyao’s words
“Yeah,” Ning Xiaoyao nodded
Lou Zigui glanced at Grand Preceptor Xie, who had already shut his eyes We can’t use Ning Yu any Xin onto the throne Since the i the et rid of his daughter when the time came
Eer Xie had no idea that Grand Preceptor Xie was already prepared to forsake her She ordered the mama at her side, “Go ask the Grand Preceptor e should do next”

“Ah?” Ning Xiaoyao’snow?
“Why are you still standing around?!” Lou Zigui reprimanded Shadowrain, who felt a cold chill before he nodded and ran off
“What’s going on, ah?” Ning Xiaoyao tugged at Lou Zigui’s sleeve
“The refugees are planning to revolt,” Lou Zigui said coldly
Ning Xiaoyao’s jaw dropped Grand Preceptor Xie hadn’t even revolted yet, but the refugees were? What kind of logic was that?!
“Elder,” Lou Zigui shouted for Elder Li
“Xiaoyao!” a tiny voice reached Ning Xiaoyao’s ears She looked down
“It’s me, A’Mo!” A’Mo had finally crawled his way into the palace and tracked down Ning Xiaoyao Noas panting for breath The entire trip had nearly exhausted the poor ant to death!
Ning Xiaoyao quickly crouched down and extended a finger, allowing A’Mo to crawl onto her hand
“Xiaoyao, it’s bad! There’s trouble!” A’Mo shouted at Ning Xiaoyao, who brought them outside the hall to find somewhere more quiet
“Everyday’s been bad forto happen to me next?”
A’Mo brandished his feelers and told Ning Xiaoyao all about how Grand Preceptor Xie had bribed an old man to his side When he was finished, he asked, “Xiaoyao, what are you going to do?”
“Heheh,” said Ning Xiaoyao as she sat at the top of the steps Was there any fun left in this world? Using poison to harm your own people? Idiots like that still existed? He even trusted Grand Preceptor Xie’s word!? Ning Xiaoyao wanted to die as much as she wanted Grand Preceptor Xie to die In any case, she was sick of staying in this world Why was everything so annoying?!
“Xiaoyao?” A’Mo carefully buers
Ning Xiaoyao stuffed another sugar bean into her mouth and handed A’Mo some of the crumbs She needed so Xiaoyao feeding andconversation with an ant, afraid to even breathe too loudly Has His Majesty lost his wits froe all over!
