Chapter 290: Chapter 290 He Is Yuan Hongxue
“They want this woman?” The senior ice messenger pointed at Tan Ning and said coldly.
“Yes, senior Ice messenger, they only want this woman,” Ji Qing replied. She still couldn’t figure out why the castle of Raging Fire wanted this woman. What benefits would they possibly get from this?
“Ask the special envoy to come to see me!” The senior ice messenger thought for a second and said.
“Yes,” Ji Qing waved her hand. Then a man was brought in.
Yang Ziyi was loyal to Cao Zhengyi, but being loyal didn’t mean that he wasn’t scared of dying. Although Chamberlain and Cao Zhengyi repeatedly a.s.sured him that he was in no danger, the castle of Snowstorm was his enemy’s base. Though it was occupied by mostly women.
The senior ice messenger gave him a brief glance and then asked a very strange question, “was it the fire messenger who asked you to come here or was it your chamberlain Yuan Hongxue?”
“It was the fire messenger,” Yang Ziyi answered nervously.
“Tell me the truth!” The senior ice messenger suddenly raised her voice and said harshly.
“It was the fire messenger!” Yang Ziyi gritted his teeth and said. It was not that he suddenly had courage, it was just that if he said it was chamberlain who sent him here, he would be killed here immediately.
“Then why is he not coming here in person?” the senior ice messenger said domineeringly,
“The fire messenger said that he is waiting for you at a place five kilometres away from the castle, three candidates are also there. As long as you bring Miss Tan over, we will exchange the candidates immediately,” Yang Ziyi quickly said.
“Okay, you may leave now,” the senior ice messenger said and then turned around.
Yang Ziyi did not know what the ice messenger meant, but he also did not dare to ask. He just wanted to quickly go back and get his level-three cultivation method.
After he left, the senior ice glared at Tan Ning and said, “you know the fire messenger Lie?”
Tan Ning was standing on the side, so she heard everything. But she was also confused. Why would the castle of Raging Fire want to use three candidates to exchange for her?
‘Is it because of sister Jiang? No. That is not possible, they don’t have that influence. Ga Zi bribed a guard and came to see me a few days ago. He has told me the situation of Sister Jiang. So within just a few days, there is no way that Sister Jiang is able to influence the Fire messenger’s decision.
Is it because of that man? Can he really influence the fire messenger’s decision? But even if it is really him, why would he want to swap the candidate now? It is said that there is no danger of being a candidate. But why?’
Tan Ning’s mind was in a mess. But she still replied, “no, I don’t know.”
The senior ice messenger thought for a second and asked again, “You know Chu Yunsheng?”
This time everyone around them all raised their heads and looked at Tan Ning in shock.
Tan Ning also raised her head, she was shocked as well, “no, I also don’t know him.”
The senior fire messenger squinted her eyes and said coldly, “you are lying!”
“No, I am not!” Tan Ning quickly shook her head and said.
The senior ice messenger snorted and waved her hand, “Ji Qing and you all may leave now. This Tan Ning, lock her up in an isolated cell, and double the men to guard her. I have things to discuss with The ice messenger Snow.”
…..
“Has the divine realm given us the location of Chu Yunsheng?” the senior ice messenger said to her partner.
The ice messenger Snow also looked like a beautiful woman. However, compared to the senior ice messenger. She looked much more innocent, “No, do you want me to contact them again?” she shook her head and said.
The senior ice messenger stopped and snorted, “No rush. Now, it is time for them to worry! Duo Neng Race! Huh! A group of insidious and wily things. They are even worse than those bloodthirsty Fire Race!”
“Captain, shall we disclose the real ident.i.ty of Duo Neng Race to those human beings?” The ice messenger Snow also said angrily.
The senior ice messenger smiled when she heard what the ice messenger Snow said, “why are you still that silly? Those human beings will not trust us, in their eyes we are aliens.”
The ice messenger Snow felt dejected, “then what should we do? I just can’t stand their hypocritical actions.”
The senior ice messenger shook her head and said, “as long as we got Chu Yunsheng, Duo Neng Race can do whatever they like.”
The ice messenger Snow was confused, “Captain, is that Chu Yunsheng human being really that important? Why do we need our entire race to look for him…”
The senior ice messenger sighed and said, “you have just been revived not long ago, your memory is not fully recovered yet, you will know it eventually.”
Just when the ice messenger Snow was about to ask something else, in front of them, a strange machine as big as a TV suddenly made buzzing noises. Above the machine, three antenna-like sticks were constantly flas.h.i.+ng.
The senior ice messenger sneered and said, “let’s connect it.”
The ice messenger Snow pressed the device, then three antenna-like sticks instantly projected a 3D hologram image.
If Chu Yunsheng was here, he would definitely know who the man in the 3D hologram was.
“It seems that you have broken our agreement!?” the silhouette in the 3D hologram said.
“It was you who did it first! Where is Chu Yunsheng?” The senior ice messenger said coldly.
“Based on the terms we agreed on, we have already taught you some important technologies. In terms of the location of Chu Yunsheng, we can only tell you when The Heaven’s Messenger successfully returned.” the silhouette in the hologram shook its head and said.
“I don’t think that was the agreement. Do you really think just some technology will make us work for you? You really underestimated our Ice Race!” the senior ice messenger snorted.
“You want to stop the cooperation now?” the silhouette in the hologram asked.
“No, but you have to fulfill the agreement. We, Ice Race will always keep our words. As long as you tell us where Chu Yunsheng is, we will help you to complete the return process! Unless you want him as well!” the senior ice messenger questioned.
The silhouette in the hologram suddenly laughed, “You Ice Race is always distrustful of others. It has been tens of thousands of years now, you still haven’t changed! Back in those days, when the five Races were fighti-”
The senior ice messenger stopped him right away, “there is no use to mention those things. Let’s get straight to the point.”
The silhouette said sincerely, “the reason why we don’t want to tell you now is that we are worried that after we told you the location of Chu Yunsheng, you will only be focusing on capturing him. It will delay the return process. You also know that we are just a part of the program and the first priority of the program is the return of The Heaven’s Messenger. So I can not change the priorities.”
The senior ice messenger sneered, “so, would you sacrifice Chu Yunsheng’s woman to complete the return process?”
“What do you mean?” the silhouette in the hologram instantly became alert.
“10 minutes ago, Fire Race sent someone over to tell us that they wanted to use three candidates to exchange for one girl. I don’t understand it. Why would the rude and ignorant Fire Race want a human girl? I think you might know it,” the senior ice messenger said casually.
The silhouette in the hologram suddenly changed its expression. There were two places in the yellow mountain area that it had no control over with. The first one was the palace of the castle of Raging Fire, and the second one was here.
The senior ice messenger sneered and said, “Tell me, did Chu Yunsheng join the Fire Race? This is the only possibility I can think of.”
“You are very clever. Since you have already guessed it, why are you still asking me?” The silhouette in the hologram let out a bitter laugh.
The senior ice messenger instantly stood up and said sternly, “he really joined the Fire Race?!”
The silhouette in the hologram shook its head and said, “I don’t know much, but he is indeed with the Fire Race.”
“No way, we have people all over the castle of Raging Fire, but they have never seen Chu Yunsheng!” the ice messenger Snow interrupted.
The senior ice messenger suddenly sat back on her chair and said, “I know it now. He is Yuan Hongxue, isn’t he?”
The silhouette in the hologram praised, “apart from the distrustful character, Ice Race is also indeed very smart!”
The ice messenger Snow looked at her captain in confusion. She then asked a question that no one else was able to answer her, “why would he want to join those ruthless killers? What can the fire race give him that we can’t? The senior captain also said that he is not a bad guy and he hates the Fire Race, why are they working together now?! Besides, the girl he wants is in our hand, why doesn’t he just join us?”
The room instantly fell silent. After a while, the senior ice messenger said, “there must be some reasons that we don’t know yet. Who he really is, is not important to us. He is just a lowly human being. What we need is talismans, not Chu Yunsheng this human being.”
“Oh…” The ice messenger Snow said, then she asked again, “do we need to give him the girl?”
“What do you think,” The senior ice messenger asked the silhouette.
“Why not? Using one candidate to exchange for three candidates, this is a great deal.” The silhouette in the hologram quickly said.
“You pathetic Duo Neng Race! You think you are smarter than those people, but in the end…” the senior ice messenger mocked.
“You don’t need to mock us. Since the first day the program chose the girl, we have already thought of today. That’s why we did not ask for the talisman knowledge in our agreement! Since he has already joined the Fire Race, and none of us can fight them alone, we need to work together!” The silhouette in the hologram did not seem to mind that the senior ice messenger was laughing at them.
The senior ice messenger thought for a second and said, “I don’t think so, you might not be able to ask him to join you, but I can. I still want to try it.”
“You will come back and seek help from us again!” The silhouette in the mirror said confidently.
