Chapter 490: Cannibalism!
“The master of this hall has drifted for half a lifetime, without encountering a filial child. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to be your biological mother!”
Jade Linglong wept continuously, clearly having genuine feelings, which made Wonderful Dance somewhat annoyed.
After all, the filial child she spoke of was herself!
“How will you choose?”
Suddenly, Zhou Tong’s voice echoed in her mind.
“I plan to pretend to agree, as being trusted by this woman would be very beneficial for us.”
After pondering for a moment, Wonderful Dance responded, though there was a hint of anxiety in her voice, seemingly afraid that Zhou Tong would reject her proposal.
“This is not a bad idea…”
Upon hearing this, she let out a long sigh of relief, which caused a smile to appear on Zhou Tong’s face.
Some people act and get immersed in their roles—one wonders if Wonderful Dance would be the same?
Regarding this, he did not use the Void Self Realm to check, just wanting things to unfold naturally.
There were too many entanglements between this mother and daughter, already severed and yet still far from being untangled.
Wonderful Dance expressed hatred towards Jade Linglong verbally, wishing the other party misfortune, yet deep down, she craved maternal love.
Meanwhile, Jade Linglong seemed to disdain her daughter, as if this disdain was also a form of insistence; it appeared that if she didn’t act that way, her principles would immediately collapse, making her insistence a joke!
“I am willing…”
With the fall of Wonderful Dance’s words, the atmosphere at the scene began to feel strange once more.
Everyone’s gaze focused on “Tang Qi” and Shangguan Na, with many bearing looks of scrutiny and amusement, accompanied by a touch of schadenfreude, as they sensed the scent of smoke.
It was well-known that even if Profound Song had been made the hall master by the Grand Deacon, she could not wield actual power.
The position of the next actual hall master would likely still have to be designated personally by Jade Linglong.
In this way, the two who were both Jade Linglong’s disciples were the most likely candidates for the next actual hall master.
But unexpectedly, Wonderful Dance appeared out of nowhere and directly intercepted them.
If nothing unexpected happened, judging by Jade Linglong’s condition, she seemed unlikely to consider other people, which made the situation for the two much more awkward.
Facing everyone’s scrutiny, “Tang Qi” showed no signs of disturbance, as if everything had nothing to do with him, prompting others to exclaim, though he looked young, his resolve was quite strong.
In contrast, Shangguan Na had become a complete clown!
At that moment, her fists clenched tightly, bloodshot eyes quivering slightly, as she suppressed the killing intent that was about to erupt.
This scene naturally fell into everyone’s eyes, eliciting quiet discussions.
“Tsk tsk… it seems this Shangguan Na is not up to par. Her mentality is so unstable, her emotions exposed, far worse than that Tang Qi!”
As soon as these words were spoken, they completely set off Shangguan Na’s nerves.
If everyone said she couldn’t compare to Wonderful Dance for affection, she could tolerate that, but if they claimed she was inferior to “Tang Qi,” that was intolerable!
“Congratulations, hall master! You have gained another beloved son!”
Suddenly, she said something puzzling, immediately capturing Jade Linglong’s attention.
“What’s there to congratulate about? Tell me more…”
“Then I’ll be so bold as to speak,” Shangguan Na looked toward Zhou Tong with ill intentions, “Today during the day, Junior Brother Tang had a competition with Miss Wonderful Dance and was utterly defeated!”
“And I could see that Miss Wonderful Dance still exerted herself; having such a prodigious beloved child is certainly a joyful matter.”
As soon as these words were spoken, waves of shock were stirred up.
They all had some understanding of Tang Qi’s strength, having even had experts personally assess him, concluding that Tang Qi was unrivaled in the Semi-Sage Realm, truly a prodigy.
And facing such an opponent, Wonderful Dance could still easily crush him—it was indeed a bit frightening.
“Xiao Qi, you lost badly?”
Jade Linglong’s gaze swept over, her voice coldly asking, void of the warmth she had during his apprenticeship.
Seeing this situation, Shangguan Na knew she had to strike while the iron was hot, aiming to ruin Tang Qi’s good impression in Jade Linglong’s heart.
“Master, this is absolutely true. After Junior Brother Tang suffered a dreadful defeat, he was still relentless, challenging Miss Wonderful Dance’s cousin, and ultimately suffered another crushing defeat!”
As these words were spoken, everyone’s gazes towards Zhou Tong changed.
“And that’s not all. After Junior Brother Tang was defeated, he was so humiliated that he used a Sacred Forbidden Weapon against Liu Bufan, although he was defeated again, it must have caused some harm to Liu Bufan; otherwise, he might not have been killed!”
People’s hearts trembled at once; regardless of whether it was true or not, Shangguan Na stating this at this moment was clearly aimed at crippling Tang Qi.
“Boom!!”
In an instant, a powerful aura suddenly descended, heavily pressing down on Tang Qi, and the person behind it was Jade Linglong.
“Is this true?”
She asked coldly, her voice tinged with murderous intent.
Having just said she would seek justice for Wonderful Dance, Tang Qi happened to stumble into a critical moment—it was only natural for him to be unlucky.
“It’s not true!”
Zhou Tong spoke calmly.
“Humph! At this point, you still dare to argue, your Sacred Forbidden Weapon has been seized, and now it’s in Miss Wonderful Dance’s hands. What more do you have to say?”
Shangguan Na relentlessly pursued, clearly determined to take advantage of his predicament!
“Girl, is there any truth to this?” Jade Linglong quietly inquired.
“It is indeed!”
Before everyone, Wonderful Dance took out the Sacred Forbidden Weapon, as if declaring the death penalty for Tang Qi.
“What else can you say!”
Jade Linglong raised her palm, ready to administer punishment.
“Mother, please stop; it’s not as you think.”
Wonderful Dance quickly intervened: “What happened during the day was merely Junior Brother Tang deliberately playing with us siblings; his strength far exceeds ours. The reason for his defeat was just to make us happy!”
As soon as she said this, Shangguan Na felt as if struck by lightning.
She suddenly felt that this world was like a book filled with twists and turns, the lines in between crookedly revealing two words: cannibalism!
