Chapter 1364: I Don’t Want to Kill You Now
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this moment, the members of the Divine Farmer Clan were overwhelmed with anxiety.
Although they were under the protection of several guardians at the summit of the Golden Celestial Stage, even those guardians were very nervous at this time.
Up until now, n.o.body really knew the strength of Xu Que’s father. This old man, who looked like a cultivator at the Half-Celestial Stage, had killed the Grand Deacon of the Heaven Palace Academy who was a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!
Now, this guy was looking at them as he enjoyed a hot pot with a smile. How could they stay calm?
The point was that they didn’t know how long Xu Que’s father had been in this place and whether he had heard the plan they had been talking about just now…
“Wow! Elder Xu is here! Just now we were talking about the punishment of a traitor in our clan. We didn’t expect that Elder Xu would have arrived at this place,” Yi Fang, who had quick wits, spoke with a faint smile.
Tactfully, he had said that Yi Xin’er was a traitor because of the words uttered by Yi Xin’er before her death. In this way, he could make his words hold water.
If Xu Que’s father had just arrived at this place and only heard the latter half of their conversation, his sophistry could cover their plan and save the situation.
“Oh? A traitor? What a coincidence! On our way to this place, we came across a girl who said she was from the Divine Farmer Clan. She tried to provoke me against the Divine Farmer Clan. So I killed her,” Xu Que replied with a smile as he picked up a piece of meat from the pot and inserted it into his mouth.
“We are glad to know that the traitor has been killed by Elder Xu! Thank you very much for your help! Also how long has it been since you have arrived at this place, if I may be so bold as to inquire? And what brings you to this place, please?” Yi Fang asked tentatively.
“Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah! We have just arrived. And we are just hanging around here,” Xu Que replied as he waved his hand and laughed weirdly. His reaction only made his words seem more curious.
The members of the Divine Farmer Clan couldn’t help but twitch their lips after hearing this.
His reply was totally meaningless!
How could you say you were hanging around aimlessly? Don’t tell us you and your friends just came here to enjoy your meal!
BANG!
Xu Que hit Duan Jiude’s chopsticks with his chopsticks and said, frowning, “Duan Jiude, I’ve told you so many times! You should take out the beef after it’s been in the pot for ten seconds. Otherwise, it will be overcooked and the taste will be ruined.”
“Ten seconds?”
Hearing this, the members of the Divine Farmer Clan let out a sigh of relief. It seemed they had just arrived at this place, which meant they didn’t hear the plan they had been talking about just now.
“Bullsh*t! Your meatb.a.l.l.s were boiled for such a long time! Why didn’t you take them out?” Duan Jiude retorted as he looked at Xu Que angrily.
Members of the Divine Farmer Clan who had just relaxed felt nervous again. Then they fixed their eyes on Xu Que.
At this time, Xu Que said as he stared at Duan Jiude, “You know nothing! The meatb.a.l.l.s are different than the beef! They need more time to become well cooked. Normally, we have to wait for at least ten minutes before we can eat them. These meatb.a.l.l.s aren’t even well cooked yet!”
The members of the Divine Farmer Clan let out a sigh of relief secretly again. It seemed they have just arrived at this place less than ten minutes ago.
“Wait! No! It seems I’ve made a mistake. I’ve eaten the first meatball I placed into the pot. Do you know when I placed it into the pot?” Suddenly, Xu Que asked in surprise.
Duan Jiude replied with a smile, “I guess you placed it into the pot when they said they would lock you in that hole!”
“Oh, I see!” Xu Que said as he nodded his head.
GASP!
The people from the Divine Farmer Clan were dumbfounded instantly.
The conversation between Xu Que and Duan Jiude was echoing in their mind like thunder.
It turned out that these people had heard the plan the members of the Divine Farmer Clan had been talking about just now! But…how could it be possible?
When we were talking about the plan, they were still in the white fog…
Wait! This is not correct!
Suddenly, several members of the Divine Farmer Clan figured out the reason for the weird reactions of Xu Que and his teammates in the white fog just now.
After Yi Xin’er’s death, Xu Que and his teammates seemed to be standing in the white fog motionlessly. It seemed quite weird. But members of the Divine Farmer Clan thought they were communicating by sending messages to each other.
Now, it seemed their speculation had been totally wrong!
It was highly possible that the scene they had watched was just an illusion. No! It was definitely an illusion!
At the thought of this, the members of the Divine Farmer Clan’s faces darkened.
They knew they had been completely fooled this time.
Xu Que and his teammates had heard all the countermeasures of Yi Fang and the rest of the members of the Divine Farmer Clan. However, Xu Que chose to enjoy the show of Yi Fang and his underlings, who tried to conceal their plan like fools, without debunking them.
“D*mn…” Yi Fang became more furious and he clenched his fists under his sleeves.
As a mighty sovereign of the Divine Farmer Clan, Yi Fang always praised himself as an exceptionally wise man. He had never been fooled by others like this before!
Now, he had been fooled by an old fart who had also killed Yi Xin’er. This was totally unacceptable!
The killing intent on Yi Fang’s face became more and more obvious.
However, Yi Fang’s sane mind stopped him from doing anything reckless. Otherwise, it was highly possible that he would lose his life here.
“Hey! Are you hungry? Would you mind joining us?” At this time, Xu Que turned around and asked as he looked at Yi Fang and his underlings with a kind smile.
Hearing this, the members of the Divine Farmer Clan were shocked.
“What is going on?
“Since he knows we were going to try to kill him, how could he be so nice to invite us to have dinner together with him?
“It doesn’t conform to the description of his notorious reputation.”
“Eh…thanks, but no thanks! We really appreciate Elder Xu’s kindness,” a guardian replied nervously at last.
Anyway, they should show due respect to Xu Que’s father, even though they knew they couldn’t accept the invitation!
They knew they couldn’t afford to offend Xu Que in this case.
“What the h*ll? Don’t treat me as a stranger! If I wanted to kill you, I could do it by moving my fingers. But I don’t want to kill you now. Understand?” Xu Que said as he looked at the guardian casually.
“Eh…Elder Xu, please don’t misunderstand us. We are not hungry now.” The guardian of the Divine Farmer Clan twitched his lips and replied with a hollow smile.
Now the situation had become quite embarra.s.sing. Members of the Divine Farmer Clan didn’t dare to act rashly and had to stay there and treat Xu Que politely.
Actually, everyone here knew clearly that Xu Que’s father would never forgive them.
“Alas! Why does this world misunderstand me in such a profound way?” Xu Que sighed as he shook his head. Then he said calmly, “I will not attack unless I am attacked, but I will surely counterattack if attacked. This is the principle I have adhered to for many years.”
After saying that, Xu Que paused and continued to say as he looked at the members of the Divine Farmer Clan, “Yi Xin’er placed poisonous worms on my body just now. So I killed her! Now you are planning to kill me here. But you are lucky for it is just a plan that hasn’t been implemented yet. So I won’t kill you!”
“However…you will still be punished although I have decided to spare your lives. So, let’s just do it according to the old rules. I need Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines! Do you have any with you? Ten pieces are enough!”
