Chapter 571: Chapter 572: The Elusive Truth 3
Trapped in the treehouse for a whole day and night, with no one to speak to, Ruohua was on the verge of insanity. Food was brought to her by others, and a clay pot was placed in her room for her to relieve herself.
Once again, she tried escaping from the treehouse, but, as expected, the beast soldiers guarding the entrance stopped her.
"Without the city lord’s orders, you cannot leave the treehouse at will!"
Ruohua was almost on her knees in front of the beast soldier!
Clutching tearfully at the beast soldier’s arm, she pleaded, "Can you ask the city lord for me? The young master is still in the Cave of the Doctor. I am worried about him and want to visit..."
The beast soldier wore a troubled expression, "This..."
Ruohua quickly let go, looking at the beast soldier with a pitiful gaze, "I don’t want to make it difficult for you. Really, just ask for me. I will wait for you here."
The beast soldier shivered unexpectedly and rubbed the goosebumps on his arm.
"Don’t look at me like that, it’s creepy. I will go and ask for you. Wait here." With Ruohua’s astonished gaze on him, the beast soldier turned to several other beast soldiers and ordered, "Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her run away!"
"Yes!"
Ruohua glared at the retreating beast soldier, unconsciously digging her nails into her palm.
...
Adam looked at Cri with a frown.
He did not know what had gotten into him. Early in the morning, he came here claiming he wanted to catch up after such a long time, and refused to leave no matter what.
What? Catching up?
What feelings do they even have to catch up on? From the moment Cri sent people to assassinate him and Nick, their feelings had evaporated into thin air.
Thinking of the most difficult past, the aura around Adam got even colder.
"If there’s nothing important, City Lord, please go back. We have nothing to discuss."
Cri smiled as if he didn’t comprehend Adam’s words, "Why not? I remember you used to love chatting with me."
Cri had calmed down overnight, and suddenly realized that he didn’t necessarily have to harbor such deep hatred towards Adam.
There wasn’t any irreconcilable hatred between the two of them, and when Ayue was caught having an affair with a beast soldier and found out that Adam was not his cub, he did not vent his anger on Adam, but was rather tolerant towards him! 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Adam chose to leave Upper Beast City himself, he didn’t force him...
Besides, he is now a Level 4 Divine Brave Warrior. He is the same age as Yali, who is only a Level 2 Divine Brave Warrior. There is no comparison between them!
Moreover, Adam now has a good relationship with the White Tiger Clan leader and the young Mermaid master. He is also a priest of Taoyuan City. For him, if he could garner the help of the forces behind Adam, then...
Everything reminded Cri that he must please Adam! Let him trust and respect himself like before.
"Have you forgotten? When you were young, you were terrified of seeing the Long-eared Beasts being slaughtered. You would hide in my arms, crying, ’Father, can we not eat the beasts’. Haha... you were so adorable at that time..."
Cri kept recounting Adam’s childhood stories.
His original idea was to invoke their past to warm up their faded relationship, but before Adam got caught up, he was the one who got absorbed in the memories.
The more he spoke, the more he couldn’t stop, utterly oblivious to the increasingly dark expression on Adam’s face.
