Chapter 212 Little Grey-haired Hazel is Going to Be Blindly Submitting.
Regardless of what the people under the sky were thinking, the story unfolding above the sky continued to progress steadily and slowly.
"Lord Caesar, your ambitions are indeed greater than anything else."
Just when the atmosphere was tense and on the verge of exploding.
A cold yet incredibly familiar deep voice suddenly came from behind the main hall.
Suddenly, Lai Gushi, covered in heavy metal armor and resembling an iron lump, strode into the banquet hall without warning.
Krydella watched as Lygus slowly approached her, her brows furrowing tightly, her face revealing her displeasure and annoyance.
"Priest, have you not left yet?"
"Of course. As a priest, I cannot miss this moment: witnessing the fall of an unknown person."
Lai Gushi continued walking slowly toward Kerudela on the high platform.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and made a strange and unpredictable movement, and a faint gray mist shimmered around him.
The next second, apart from Little Gray Hair, Xi Lian, and Heather, all the generals and ministers present vanished into thin air.
"Or perhaps, I'm waiting for your answer: With your iron fist, why go to all this trouble..."
As Lai Gushi spoke in a sinister tone, he continued to approach Keludela step by step.
The distance between the two grew closer, and the aura emanating from him became increasingly dangerous and intimidating.
Standing next to Little Grey, Heather's eyes suddenly turned cold, a chilling glint appearing in them.
His figure flashed out like lightning, instantly blocking Lai Gu Shi's path.
He slashed his longsword horizontally, holding it firmly in front of him, blocking Lai Gushi's path.
Lai Gushi stopped in his tracks and slowly spoke, directly revealing Krydella's true purpose.
"Trying to use such a clumsy pretext as 'escort' to ensure the safety of the 'savior'?"
Kerudela's lips curled into a cold smile, her tone icy and chilling.
"Heh, finally they've dropped their pretense."
Lai Gushi's expression was calm and composed, and his words were clear and forceful.
"I must point out: in terms of acting skills, you are second to none. This banquet was orchestrated by you from the very beginning..."
"It's all just to balance the two sides, and you intend to turn me and them into pawns in your hands."
Listening to the conversation between Crydella and Lycus, the little gray-haired boy standing at the back breathed a long sigh of relief, his tense body instantly relaxing.
She looked down at Xi Lian beside her, her eyes filled with doubt, and asked softly:
"Is all of this a facade?"
Xi Lian smiled gently and nodded slightly.
"Yes. I'm afraid little Caesar has never trusted anyone; from beginning to end, she only wanted to see which side could offer more sincerity..."
At this moment, Xi Lian gently raised her hand, and with the little gray fur, she was lost in a brief flashback.
The scene first returns to the moment when they entered the banquet and were stopped by guards who demanded that they hand over all their belongings.
At that time, Xi Lian had already quietly reminded Xiao Hui Mao to remain sincere.
"Alright, alright, we'll cooperate with you. Here—please tell Caesar for us: she can trust my partner anytime, anywhere."
The scene then shifts back to a earlier moment, when Hathaway and Heather were plotting to eavesdrop on Crydella and Lycus's conversation.
Xi Lian also spoke frankly and earnestly to Hai Se Yin.
"But Caesar's choice... has never been presumptuous of our companions. We simply want to tell them everything we know, without reservation."
"Now, use your identity, and add a little experience and charm... prove to Caesar, just as we promised."
At no time has Xi Lian ever used any tricks or schemes against the people here.
She not only revealed all her thoughts, but also patiently hinted to Little Grey that he should be honest with her.
The scene quickly returned to reality, and Xi Lian gently raised her hand and placed it on her chest.
She looked intently at the little gray-haired boy, her eyes filled with unwavering sincerity, without a trace of falsehood.
"We won; sincerity is the only true shortcut."
As if responding to their conversation, Krydela looked down at Ragus and questioned him sharply.
"But you, Lycurgus, possess such great power, yet you pretend to be a mortal, bowing and scraping..."
"Could it be that flattery is one of your vices?"
At that moment, everyone in Douluo Continent under the sky suddenly realized the truth and understood.
Now I finally understand why Crydella is willing to trust the simple little gray hair, but absolutely not this iron lump in front of her, Lygus.
Lai Gushi possessed immense strength and knew countless unknown secrets from beyond the heavens.
Such a person, with top-notch status and strength, bowed and scraped before Caesar, like a docile, wagging-tailed dog.
Any normal person could perceive the huge problems and conspiracies hidden within.
Although Yu Xiaogang tried to please Ke Ludela, he only went so far as to do so superficially and dared not go too far.
Little Grey remained innocent and pure throughout, without a trace of scheming or calculation in his heart.
She is so innocent that it's both heartbreaking and reassuring.
Even at this moment, Little Gray still didn't fully understand the complex situation before him.
She still didn't understand why Hathaway had stayed by her side all this time.
Since this banquet was originally a test carefully set up by Krydela and Hathaway.
Heather was not simply there to help Little Grey.
The moment Little Gray Fur revealed even the slightest intention to harm Krystal,
The next second, the sharp sword in Hazel's hand would be placed against her neck without hesitation.
The people of Douluo Continent couldn't help but sigh and discuss it endlessly.
This seemingly simple and ordinary banquet was actually full of ulterior motives among the five people present.
Keludela and Xilian each possessed five hundred mental acuities, demonstrating their extremely meticulous nature.
Lai Gushi, Heather, and Little Grey each have to pay out two hundred hearts.
In their presence, I appear naive and simple-minded.
The people of Douluo Continent also came to a complete realization of a cruel truth.
The beings from beyond the heavens are not only incredibly powerful and terrifying, but also include countless individuals with exceptional wisdom and profound thoughts.
Anyone on the Douluo Continent could be placed within this treacherous banquet test.
It is absolutely impossible for them to pass through smoothly and escape unscathed.
"Yu Xiaogang, you piece of trash!!"
Under the sky, Tang San gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He certainly wanted to step forward and help his teacher salvage the awkward situation.
But Yu Xiaogang's foolish and clumsy actions left him completely helpless and unable to turn the tide.
Especially seeing that Xi Lian was exceptionally intelligent and insightful.
With her simple mind and slightly slow reaction, the little gray-haired girl perfectly passed Queen Crydella's tests.
His envy and longing were almost overflowing.
He also longed to have such a well-matched, intelligent, and powerful teammate.
But his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was utterly useless, a hopeless case.
The last time he faced off against Little Gray Hair, although he lost every time, at least he felt like he was participating.
But look at Yu Xiaogang now, he has no presence in the eyes of the people of the entire Douluo Continent.
Not even a sound or a ripple could be made.
Even a silent, unsound fart can still make people feel uncomfortable.
But Yu Xiaogang is nothing, utterly useless.
Tang San really couldn't understand what had gotten into him back then, that he had been so blind as to choose Yu Xiaogang as his master.
