Chapter 702: Chapter 706: Test
"And..." Maya glanced at Gaiyin again, "You don’t need to test me. By seeking cooperation with you, I’ve already shown my utmost sincerity. If there’s something you want to know, feel free to ask me."
Seeing Gaiyin’s facade being pierced through, for some reason, Su Tang felt like laughing.
But the very next second, Maya’s cold gaze floated over to her, and she said, "The same goes for you."
The hint of laughter on Su Tang’s face froze. "····"
Since their pretense had already been exposed, Su Tang, adopting an attitude of breaking the pot since it was already cracked, asked, "Since you are so powerful, able to wipe them out with a wave of your hand, why do you need our cooperation? Wouldn’t it be better to just annihilate them directly?"
Maya replied, "Because I too, have been poisoned. That dog emperor poisoned me, and I can’t lay a hand on them. Otherwise, do you believe they would still be alive and well up until now?"
Gaiyin asked, "So what’s your plan?"
Maya comfortably shook her head; she pulled up the corners of her lips, "On your way to the Wood Immortal Mansion, both Liao Li and the emperor will accompany you. You need to find an opportunity to kill the emperor! Once you kill the emperor, you can leave everything else to me!
The emperor is the wise man of the kingdom, second in importance only to Liao Li, that waste. So, there will be many divine brave warriors protecting them in the dark. But I believe that you and your friends could easily kill him."
"My friends?"
Maya reminded him, "The other three who came with you."
Gaiyin frowned slightly, "If you knew we came together, why did you separate us?"
Maya held up two fingers, waving them gently. "For two reasons. One, if I brought all of you over, the target would be too large and would easily draw the attention of the lord of the kingdom. And you play a leading role in your group; cooperating with you is as good as cooperating with all your group.
The second reason····is that I don’t trust the young master of the Mermaid Clan. Initially, that waste Liao Li poisoned him because he failed to get the crystal stone from the patriarch of the Mermaid Clan. By now, that poison should have taken effect.
Yet the young mermaid prince appeared here as if nothing happened, which made me suspicious. I believe that even if I approached him, he would not agree to cooperate with me."
Su Tang thought about it and it indeed seemed to be the case.
Before they arrived in Upper Beast City, they had warned Xie and Qiu Mo that no matter how much they couldn’t swallow their anger, they must endure first.
Qiu Mo and the others indeed did hold back, but they hadn’t expected this kingdom’s lord to be so shameless, not displaying any signs of guilt, as if he wasn’t the one who had poisoned them. He was really the worst of the worst.
So Maya was right. If she approached Xie, Xie definitely wouldn’t agree to her request.
She deserved full marks for her logical reasoning skills! 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
But there was one thing that still felt strange to Su Tang. Maya had just said that as long as they killed the emperor, everything else wouldn’t matter.
She clearly just mentioned that she was poisoned and couldn’t lay a hand on them herself, could she attack them once the emperor was killed?
Before Su Tang could figure it out, she heard Maya say, "I heard from Queque that Liao Li promised you that once you go to the Wood Immortal Mansion, as long as you aren’t attacked by the beastmen of the kingdom, everything you get will be yours to keep. Is that true?"
Gaiyin nodded his head slightly.
Maya then laughed, "I know Liao Li’s character best. He won’t part from treasures in his possession."
