Chapter 2078： Tentative

Chapter 2078 Probing

"Your honor is this...?"

Hearing Lin Yue's questioning, the lame old man looked puzzled and said somewhat puzzled.

"The old man doesn't quite understand the meaning of the distinguished guest."

Although the voices of the two were not loud, they still attracted the eyes of the two middle-aged people at the same table. Under their gaze, the lame old man looked a little terrified, and even left a faint sweat mark on his forehead. .

"If I'm not mistaken, these dishes are all made of rotting meat, right?"

Lin Yue said with a cold expression.

"This……"

The lame old man was startled for a moment, then quickly explained.

"The distinguished guest has misunderstood! The clan does not mean to offend you. The raw materials of these dishes are the precious ingredients given to our clan by the gathering place of the moon. After eating, they can naturally increase their strength. They are one of the most precious ingredients in North Desert City. !"

As he said that, the lame old man also motioned Lin Yue to look at the people at the other tables, only to see that they devoured the food immediately after the dishes were served, without the pampered look they had before.

"Even they don't often eat such high-grade ingredients."

Seeing the performance of those people, Lin Yue's expression softened a little.

"It turns out that it is abrupt."

And the lame old man on the side also instructed the woman in gauze with insight, "Quickly inform the kitchen chef to make home-cooked dishes for two and bring them up!"

"As ordered."

The woman in gauze nodded respectfully, turned around and stepped back.

At the same time, the lame old man noticed that the sight of the two middle-aged men staring at him disappeared, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. I know that I am no different from a dog in front of those ancestors...

The two cold-looking middle-aged men and women at the same table are the two ancestors who want to see Lin Yue with their own eyes. If they are not happy with the lame old man, the position of family elder will be replaced by another one the next day. People, the fate of the lame old man is naturally self-evident.

"Thank you sir."

Lin Yue and Qing Bingying glanced at each other and said in succession.

They also realized that the eating habits of these people in North Desert City are a little different, but the scene that just happened is really not aimed at the two of them.

However, the performance of the lame old man was somewhat beyond Lin Yue's expectations. He didn't expect the other party's attitude to be so low after the incident, and the little actions of the lame old man who thought they were very hidden were also seen by Lin Yue.

"What are the identities of these two middle-aged people?"

Lin Yue secretly said in his heart.

He could see the lame old man's deep fear of these two people, but it was because the rest of the clan didn't seem to know them.

"It seems that there are still many secrets hidden in this town..."

Hiding the doubts in his heart, Lin Yue's expression could not see any strangeness.

Soon after, the re-made dishes were brought up by the woman in gauze. The ingredients used this time were much normal, but the taste was still a little special. Thinking of the difference between eating habits, Lin Yue and the others did not say anything. What, just silently put down the cutlery.

During this period, the lame old man also kept talking with Lin Yue and the others about the current situation of North Desert City. Lin Yue also revealed some information from the outside world. Whenever this time, the two middle-aged people would **** up their ears and listen carefully.

After discovering this, Lin Yue deliberately stated the current situation in the Snow Wind Region. When he learned that all the creatures in the entire Snow Wind Region had perished, there was a visible surprise in the expressions of the two middle-aged people.

After taking their performance in mind, Lin Yue suddenly turned and asked the lame old man.

"Patriarch, when can the two of us read the scroll of inheritance?"

Seeing this, Qing Bingying also said, "We have no clue about leaving this world now. If we could read the information recorded in the scroll of inheritance earlier, we could find a way to leave this world earlier."

After hearing the words of the two, the lame old man pondered for a moment, glanced at the two middle-aged men out of the corner of his eyes, and replied slowly.

"The proposal of the two distinguished guests is very good. I will let someone arrange it, and someone will notify the two when they are ready."

"Um."

Lin Yue nodded with his expression unchanged, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.

The lame old man still didn't give the exact time this time, and it was hard for Lin Yue to guess what the other party was thinking.

After the dinner, Lin and Yue returned to the guest room under the leadership of the woman in the gauze.

As soon as they entered the room, they checked carefully and confirmed that no one had sneaked in during the time they just left, and then they exchanged their views on the dinner party just now.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you feel a little strange?"

Qing Bingying asked with puffed cheeks.

The dishes at the dinner party were really hard to eat, so she had to take out the dry food she had prepared before and nibble.

"Well... let's talk about your findings first."

Lin Yue asked back.

Qing Bingying thought for a while, and then said, "For example, the people we saw at the dinner party, we haven't seen them all the way in the city before."

Hearing Qing Bingying's words, Lin Yue nodded.

I came here all the way under the leadership of the man in black before, and all I saw were some plainly dressed civilians, as well as those young and middle-aged people who were naked and struggling to cultivate, but they really did not appear at the banquet.

Immediately afterwards, Qing Bingying continued, "Also, the man and woman at the same table with us are also very strange, they don't have a trace of breath on their bodies, if they don't move, I will treat them as corpses. …”

Sure enough, even Qing Bingying discovered the abnormal situation of the two middle-aged people, but it was these two strange people who would make the lame old man with a very high status in the clan so fearful. You don't have to think about it.

The lame old man is only nominally in charge of the entire clan, and the real ruler is someone else!

So it's not that the lame old man has been keeping them from reading the scroll of inheritance, but that he doesn't dare to make his own decisions without the consent of those people.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue pondered in his mind, how should he have seen the scroll of inheritance earlier.

At the same time, the venue for the banquet had become empty, and all the invited guests had left, leaving only the lame old man and the two middle-aged men and women sitting at the front table.

Seeing that the last maid had already retired, the lame old man quickly got up and said respectfully to the two middle-aged men.

"Two ancestors, the outsider may have some doubts, do you still want to show him the inheritance volume?"
