Chapter 352: Interrogation
Once Yuan and Wang Xiuying nodded their heads, the middle-aged man began to speak, “First question— how did you two use the teleport formation to get here?”
“We don’t know.” Wang Xiuying said, and she continued, “We were standing on this formation, and before we knew it, we were already teleported to this place.”
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man continued, “Second question— where were you guys before this? Where is this formation that you spoke of?”
“It was inside this building that is also within this place called the Mystic Realm.”
“The Mystic Realm?” The middle-aged man frowned and turned silent again.
“Third question, what is your purpose for coming here?”
“As we’d already said countless times by now, we didn’t come here by choice. We have no reason to be here.” Yuan said.
“Last question… What are your backgrounds?” The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and stared at them with a sharp gaze.
“We’re just disciples within the Lower Heavens. We were participating in this event that required us to enter the Mystic Realm, and after exploring the place, we ended up here.” Wang Xiuying said.
Sometime later, the middle-aged man turned around and prepared to leave the room.
“W-Wait! What about us?” Wang Xiuying asked him in a nervous voice.
“You’ll be staying here for a little longer while I verify some information. Don’t worry, as much as I hate you, humans, I don’t kill unnecessarily.” The middle-aged man said to them before leaving the room.
“Phew… At least they won’t immediately kill us…” Wang Xiuying released a relieved sigh.
Thus, the two of them continued to wait inside the jail cell.
Meanwhile, outside the building, the middle-aged man made his way to this massive palace, which took him about an hour of flying.
“Captain Cheng.”
The guards at the bottom of this palace greeted this middle-aged man wearing silver armor.
“I’m here to see the Royal Family regarding the teleport formation that had recently been activated,” he said.
“The Royal Family is already expecting you.”
Captain Cheng nodded his head and proceeded to walk the steps to the palace on the top.
Even though he could simply fly up there, he didn’t dare to do so since it was a sign of disregard and disrespect for the royal family that lived in this place.
Sometime later, Captain Cheng entered the palace that was made entirely out of some sort of white jade-like material, giving the place an exquisite atmosphere.
Once inside, Captain Cheng went straight to the audience hall, where four people sat at the end of the room, almost like they were expecting Captain Cheng to arrive.
“This subordinate apologizes for making the Royal Family wait.” Captain Cheng kneeled on one of his knees and lowered his head before these four people before speaking in a respectful voice.
“Raise your head.” One of the four figures spoke.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Captain Cheng raised his head to look at the four people sitting on the platform before him.
A middle-aged man with sharp facial expressions, a beautiful middle-aged woman that gave off a sophisticated aura, a handsome young man with a stern look on his face, and finally, a graceful young lady with bright and clear eyes.
“Now, tell us about the individuals who’d managed to activate the teleport formation,” said the middle-aged man wearing majestic robes fitting of an emperor.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Captain Cheng responded before continuing, “According to my investigation, these two individuals are humans from the Lower Heavens, and they’d accidentally arrived at this place.”
“What? Humans from the Lower Heavens? And they accidentally arrived at this place? How is that possible? One doesn’t simply just ‘accidentally arrive’ at our Ancient Dragon City that has been isolated from the rest of the world for millions of years!” The middle-aged woman spoke with a dumbfounded look on her beautiful face.
“They also mentioned coming from the Mystic Realm…” Captain Cheng suddenly added.
“What? The Mystic Realm? Why didn’t you say that first, you idiot!” The middle-aged lady quickly said.
“The Mystic Realm… So it’s time, huh…” The middle-aged man mumbled with a nostalgic look on his face. “But why are there two people? I was only expecting one.”
“Captain Cheng, I want you to bring these two humans here.” The middle-aged man then said.
“Pardon me? Your Majesty wants me to bring the humans… here? To the Dragon Palace?” Captain Cheng looked at them with wide eyes filled with shock, as he thought humans are forbidden to step foot inside the Dragon Palace!
“Do I have to repeat myself, Captain Cheng?” The middle-aged man frowned.
“N-No! This subordinate will immediately bring them here! Please excuse me!”
Captain Cheng quickly stood up and left the palace. However, he didn’t forget to bow to them once more before leaving.
“Why are you allowing humans to step foot inside our sacred Dragon Palace, father?” The young man sitting beside him asked after Captain Cheng left the scene.
“This is a complicated situation that even I don’t understand fully, and it’s also our ancestors’ will.”
“What?! The ancestors?!” The young man and young lady expressed great shock after hearing this.
“You’re still too young to learn it, so I will spare the explanation for now. You’ll probably understand it sooner or later regardless now that these visitors have finally come.” The middle-aged man said.
“Finally come?” The young man raised his eyebrows, as it sounded like they have been waiting for these people to come for a long time now.
Didn’t these humans come here by accident? How could they possibly predict something like this?
“I wonder what kind of people these humans are. This will be my first time seeing humans.” The young lady suddenly spoke with anticipation in her eyes.
“Why are you excited? They are only humans— inferior beings compared to us dragons. From what I heard, they’re all weak and have terrible characteristics. In fact, humans are the reason we’ve isolated ourselves in this world.” The young man sneered.
“Still, I want to see them for myself.” The young lady said.
