Chapter 1013: The Truth Is Revealed, Godly Teammate

The three little eggs rolled down.
Zhou Yuyan did not have time to think about why they were not the ones who died, but their own people. She flew towards the three little eggs and hugged them one by one.
“Ouch!” She originally thought that her internal energy was good enough and it would not be a problem to carry three eggs. But, but why were they so heavy?
One egg plus one egg plus one egg. Ahhh, it was really not three eggs, but thirty!
They were so heavy!!!
Dawa was really frightened. The moment those guards drew their swords, he really thought that he was going to be beheaded, but why… why was this happening? They killed their own people? What, what, what… What exactly was going on?
Old Cui also broke out in cold sweat. When he saw that Grandma was so calm that it was as if nothing had happened, he could not help but frown. “You know they won’t kill us, right?”
Grandma shook his head seriously. “No, I just calculated that we won’t die today.”
Old Cui exploded. “Then why didn’t you say so earlier? You almost scared me out of my wits!” Indeed, it corresponded to that sentence: they’re all the same!
The world’s charlatans are all bad! Hmph!
The Third Elder walked up to Dawa. Before Dawa could recover from his shock, he looked at the shadow on the ground that was enveloping him. He raised his head in a daze and looked straight at the Third Elder.
The Third Elder said, “Why didn’t you ask for help?”
“Huh?” Dawa was stunned again, clearly ignoring the meaning behind his words.
The Third Elder said indifferently, “I owe you a favor, so I should return it, right?”
“No, you don’t owe me anything.” Dawa really didn’t understand what the Third
Elder was talking about, and he didn’t know if it was because the Third Elder was Nie Wanrou’s father, but he always felt that he wasn’t confident when facing him.
The Third Elder looked at Dawa without blinking.
Dawa’s heart pounded. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind. The Third Elder said that he owed him a favor. Could he be referring to the time when he stopped Shadow Thirteen from killing him?
Ah, that… could that be considered a favor?
He had asked Shadow Thirteen to tap the Third Elder’s acupoints. He even felt guilty when he saw this. He was afraid that the Third Elder would ask him what kind of gall he had to dare to let someone tap his acupoints!
The Lan family’s disguise could only fade on its own and could not be peeled off on its own. Therefore, Dawa still had Wen Xu’s face, but he was not Wen Xu. Wen Xu was not so stupid.
The Third Elder wrung his hands. This kid was already so stupid. Why didn’t he suspect him back then?
This could not be blamed on the Third Elder. Who asked the Lan family to be so skilled in disguise that even the heavens could not see any flaws?
“Hey, is there nothing for us to do here?” Zhou Yuyan quietly walked to Grandma and Old Cui and asked them softly.
The two of them gave her a look that could only be understood but not explained.
The Third Elder was not here to save Dawa. He was here to look for his
daughter. Just as he was about to ask about his daughter’s whereabouts, a familiar figure suddenly flashed across the courtyard.
The Third Elder’s eyebrows twitched!
That person was—
“Third Elder, that…” Dawa finally decided to break this strange atmosphere, but Third Elder pushed him away and strode down the corridor.
He walked around the corridor and looked at the familiar figure. After confirming that it was not his imagination, he trembled and said, “Sorcerer… Sorcerer King?”
The Sorcerer King stopped in his tracks and turned around while chewing on a peach. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “Oh, Third Elder.”
The Third Elder’s body trembled. He cupped his hands and bowed. “Greetings, Sorcerer King! ”
The Sorcerer King held the half-eaten peach and said calmly, “After so many years, you still recognize me.”
The Third Elder’s eyes flashed and he knelt on one knee.
The Third Elder was from the Sorcerer Queen’s camp. As a close subject that the Sorcerer Queen and the Great Elder trusted very much, he naturally knew that the Sorcerer King had been imprisoned by the Sorcerer Queen. Just as the Sorcerer King had said, he had not seen the Sorcerer King for at least seven to eight years. He did not know that the Sorcerer King had actually become like this. If not for his back view and walking posture that was very similar to the Sorcerer King in his impression, he would have mistaken him for someone else just based on his face.
“Sorcerer King, you…”
He wanted to ask what had happened to the Sorcerer King, but he realized that he had done something stupid.
Other than the Soul Rakshasa, the Sorcerer Queen himself was the only other person who could hurt him under normal circumstances. The Sorcerer Queen might be able to imprison him, but she could not hurt him at will. His injuries, no, to be precise, his poisonous sores were all caused by him.
As for who it was for, the answer was obvious.
The child of the Sorcerer King and the Saint King could not survive in this world. To put it more mysteriously, the two of them were too powerful. Their union had exceeded the laws that the Heavenly Dao could tolerate.
In order to let Zhou Jin descend to the world safely and be a child who could grow up, the Saint King was buried and changed his fate.
However, the Third Elder thought that this was enough. He never expected that the Saint King had only changed a portion. The rest still had to be shouldered by the Sorcerer King.
No wonder. The Sorcerer King was so powerful, so how did he suddenly let the Sorcerer Queen succeed? From the looks of it, the Sorcerer King had definitely exhausted too much sorcery power to change Zhou Jin’s fate and even suffered a terrifying backlash. That was why he could not resist the Sorcerer Queen’s imprisonment.
In the past, the Third Elder might not have been moved by the Sorcerer King’s sacrifice, but after losing his daughter, he felt that he could empathize with the Sorcerer King.
“Sorcerer King, I…”
The Sorcerer King raised his hand and interrupted him. He looked like he couldn’t be bothered to listen. He chewed on the peach in his hand and leisurely returned to his room.
Grandma and the others walked over. When he brushed past him, Grandma patted his shoulder sympathetically.
Zhou Yuyan walked over with the three little eggs. The three little eggs looked at him and then at Grandma who had already walked far away. They poked Dawa’s thigh and hooked their little fingers at him.
Dawa bent down.
The three of them walked over one by one and patted his shoulder one by one.
After Dabao finished patting him, Er’bao patted him, after Er’bao finished, xlaoDao pattea mm.
Dawa:
Old Cui looked at the three little eggs strangely, then at Grandma strangely. He blew his beard and glared. “Qiu! You didn’t expect us to not die today at all. You Imow, right! The Sorcerer King is here!”
The Third Elder felt as if he had been hit in the head. Although the Sorcerer King was much weaker than before, he was still the King of the Sorcerer Clan. If he had not taken action in time just now, it would not have been just those guards of the Great Elder and the Sorcerer Queen who would have died. Even he and his subordinates would have been killed!
As this thought flashed through his mind, the Third Elder’s back was drenched in cold sweat.
“Third Elder.” Dawa’s voice appeared behind him.
The Third Elder composed himself and turned around. “I was just about to ask you, where did Wanrou go?”
Dawa brought the Third Elder to the Second Madam’s room. The Second Madam lay quietly on the bed, her breathing even, as if she would wake up at dawn if she fell asleep.
“Wanrou, she…” The Third Elder opened his mouth.
“She was shot by an arrow. Her situation is very critical. It was the Sorcerer King who saved her, ” Dawa said truthfully.
“Ah…” The Third Elder stammered.
His incredulous look made Dawa think that he was suspecting that he was lying. Dava hurriedly said, “You… you don’t think we hurt Wanrou, do you? We didn’t! We really didn’t!”
The Third Elder looked at him deeply. “I know it’s not you.”
He did not know if Dawa was an unscrupulous person, but Dawa definitely cared about his daughter. Otherwise, he would not have followed his daughter like a little tail in the Nie Manor, let alone stop the sacrificial soldiers when they wanted to kill him.
In that case, how could he kill Wanrou?
The Great Elder thought that he had successfully fooled him, but little did he know that it was that nonsense that had exposed his flaws and ambition.
“She lost her pulse on the spot. It was the Sorcerer King who kept her alive. I think the Sorcerer King himself was quite seriously injured,” Dawa said softly.
The Sorcerer King had exhausted too much sorcery power to change Zhou Jin’s fate. He did not say anything, but they all understood that he must have exhausted a lot of energy. The Third Elder checked his daughter’s injuries. They were fatal on the spot. Other than the Sorcerer King, no one could save her.
The person he had supported and followed for so many years actually schemed against him behind his back for his own selfish reasons. And the person he had always owed did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to save his precious daughter at the critical moment.
The Third Elder took a deep breath and felt that he had lived for nothing all these years!
Dawa looked at the Third Elder carefully and said, “Don’t… don’t worry too much. I believe Wanrou will wake up one day.”
The Third Elder looked at his unconscious daughter and his heart ached to the extreme. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, “To think that I’ve been at their beck and call for so many years.. I don’t know how many messes I’ve dealt with and how many unconscionable things I’ve done for them! In the end, this is how they repay me! Good, good, very good! Don’t blame me for being ruthless when they did it!”
