Chapter 822 - 822 Can"t Be underestimated!
822 Can’t Be underestimated!
In the Rock Temple, Shuang Yun was receiving the envoys from the 10,000 Beast Temple.
There were a total of 30 beasts who came this time, and 25 of them were guards. These guards were currently arranged to rest in the relay station. Only five of them appeared in the temple, and the leader was the second elder of the Elder’s a.s.sociation.
The second elder looked around and smiled. “Your temple is not bad. It’s much more exquisite than the temples in Sun City and Dark Moon City. Just the steps that can produce music took a lot of effort, right?”
Shuang Yun replied casually, “It’s alright.”
!!
“You can make such steps for the 10,000 Beast Temple in the future.”
“We’ll see.”
The second elder glanced at him. “Your Majesty, you don’t seem to welcome us?”
“You think too much.”
As the second-in-command of the Elders’ a.s.sociation, the second elder was a famous figure in the City of 10,000 Beasts. Even the beast kings of the three medium-sized beast cities had to be polite to him. However, Shuang Yun did not take him seriously at all.
This made the second elder a little dissatisfied.
He said in a low voice, “I know you’re a beast king and the master of Rock City, but even the Rock City is only one of many small cities in front of the City of 10,000 Beasts. I asked you to build steps for the 10,000 Beast Temple to give you a chance to perform. Don’t be ignorant of your blessings.”
Shuang Yun was about to speak when they heard Huanhuan’s voice coming from outside the door.
“What steps? Are the steps of the 10,000 Beast Temple broken?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huanhuan walk into the temple accompanied by Bai Di and Xue Ling. Behind them were Shuang Yin and Quan Rong.
Huanhuan was wearing a light-colored dress and a veiled hat. Her face was covered by a snow veil.
The second elder couldn’t see her face clearly, but he could tell from her voice and aura that she was the high priest of the rock temple, Lin Huanhuan.
He raised his chin slightly and said reservedly, “Long time no see. How have you been?”
Huanhuan ignored him and asked Shuang Yun, “What’s this about the steps?”
Shuang Yun said, “He thinks the steps in our temple are beautiful and wants us to build the same steps for the 10,000 Beast Temple.”
“So that’s what it is…”
The ignored second elder felt unhappy, and his expression turned ugly. “Lin Huanhuan, I just greeted you. Why did you ignore me?”
Huanhuan seemed to have only just noticed the second elder’s existence. She tilted her head and looked at him. She pretended to be surprised and asked, “Why, if it isn’t the second elder of the Elders’ a.s.sociation? I didn’t notice you just now. I’m sorry.”
“Stop pretending. I’m an adult. How could you not have noticed me just now? You’re deliberately embarra.s.sing me!”
Huanhuan said slowly, “Don’t be angry. You’ve just arrived at Rock City. There must be many places you haven’t been to, right? Quan Rong, bring this elder around the city to experience the customs of our Rock City.”
When Quan Rong walked out, Huanhuan gave him a look.
‘Young man, do well. If you do well, I’ll put in a good word for you in front of Big Goody later.’
Quan Rong understood what she meant and immediately puffed out his chest. He made an inviting gesture at the second elder in high spirits. “Come, please come this way.”
“Who said I’m leaving? I’m here for something important. I’m not in the mood to wander around with you.” The second elder looked at Quan Rong twice and suddenly asked, “You’re not from the Rock Wolf Tribe, right?”
Quan Rong: “I’m from the Blazing Dog Tribe.”
Bai Di helped explain at the right time. “He’s the younger brother of the leader of the Blazing Flame Tribe. He’s here as a guest and helps with some groceries. It’s an experience.”
The Blazing Flame Tribe? The second elder’s expression changed slightly. “Your brother is Cang Yi?”
Quan Rong nodded and agreed.
When did the Blazing Flame Tribe get mixed up with Rock City?!
The second elder’s thoughts raced. Cang Yi was famous for being obsessed with his younger brother and treasured him like he treasured his eyeb.a.l.l.s. But now, he actually left his younger brother alone in Rock City.
Did this mean that Rock City and the Blazing Flame Tribe were affiliated…
Shuang Yun didn’t seem to notice the unpredictable expression on the second elder’s face. He cleared his throat. “You just said that you came to us because you have something important to do. May I ask what important matter requires your attendance?”
The territory of the Blazing Flame Tribe was not big, but their geographical location was very important. If Rock City joined hands with them, their strength would definitely increase greatly.
They could not be underestimated!
The second elder put away his contempt and coughed lightly. “The first elder personally entrusted me with this mission. I need to talk to Lin Huanhuan alone. The others, please leave.”
Xue Ling chuckled. “Leave? On what basis?”
Bai Di added, “Huanhuan is a young female, after all. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for her to be alone with you, right?”
The second elder was very unhappy. “I’m a proper beast. I just want to say a few words. I won’t do anything to Lin Huanhuan. Do you not trust my character?”
Bai Di smiled but said nothing.
Xue Ling simply didn’t give him any face. “We really don’t trust you.”
“You!” The second elder pointed at him and scolded angrily, “How dare you?! I wish to talk to Lin Huanhuan. Do you have the right to interrupt?!”
Xue Ling smiled even more ostentatiously. “When I was talking to your beast king, you were still in your mother’s womb!”
“Who the h.e.l.l are you?”
“Elder of the feather tribe, Xue Ling.”
Even the second elder, who did not know much about the other races, had heard of the famous lunatic elder of the feather tribe.
The second elder had only heard rumors in the past. He did not expect to see Xue Ling in person here today. He immediately sized him up a few more times. “You’re Elder Xue Ling? So it’s true!”
Xue Ling smiled proudly. “Why? Have you heard of me before?”
“I did hear that the feather tribe has a crazy elder. Not only is he wilful and domineering, but he’s also especially flashy. He especially likes to wear red.”
“…”
Although she knew that the occasion was wrong, Huanhuan couldn’t help but smile!
She wasn’t the only one. Even Bai Di and Shuang Yun wanted to laugh.
The second elder looked at them. “Why are you smiling? Are the rumors wrong?”
The smile on Huanhuan’s face became more and more obvious. “No, the rumors are quite accurate!”
Xue Ling: “…”
‘I’m so angry! But I have to keep smiling!’
Ahem! Huanhuan tried to suppress the corners of her mouth and make herself look more serious. “It’s indeed not appropriate to meet alone. If you have anything to say, tell me there.”
She pointed to a nearby clearing.
It was quiet, and there was no cover. If there was any strange movement, Bai Di and the others could see it clearly.
The second elder reluctantly agreed.
“Okay, then.”
