771 Three Little Black Eggs (2)

Twist, twist twice?

Qing Yan imagined himself being cut in half at the waist and twisting on the ground in pain. He could not help but hold his chest and retch.

“The-the rumors were true?”

Was the King really so cruel?

Qing Yan felt terrible.

The old man lifted his eyelids indifferently and glanced at him. “Rumor? Heh.”

Actually, the King was not born so cruel. The old man had watched him grow up. When he was young, he was also a jade-like young master. Unfortunately, he did not listen to advice and stubbornly cultivated the martial arts of the forbidden area. Ever since then, his personality had changed drastically and he could not be stopped.

Although the old man did not practice martial arts, he vaguely understood what evil technique the King had cultivated. It was probably even more serious than Asura’s qigong deviation. If he wanted to regain his original personality, he would probably need to cripple his martial arts. How could the King bear to do that?

Not only did the King’s personality change after years of evil techniques, but even his appearance became very different day by day. He became extremely ugly and had no choice but to put on a mask.

Not many people knew these secrets, including the old man. However, perhaps soon, the old man would not be counted because he was going to be executed by the King.

“Just now… we heard Asura’s voice. Asura was with Ah Wan. Did Jiuchao and the others pick up Ah Wan? That stupid girl won’t really use herself in exchange for us, right?”

At this point, Qing Yan could not help but sigh again. If possible, he really hoped he could tell her not to waste her effort. It was useless even if she came. The King would not let them off. Instead, she would sacrifice herself for nothing.

“Hey, what’s wrong with the two of you?” Qing Yan and Grandma talked for half a day, but Yue Gou and Ah Wei did not react at all. The two of them stared straight at the burden in the other prison carriage, as if they were staring at some rare treasure.

Yue Gou lowered his head guiltily. He only discovered the secret in the luggage when he slid over the rope! He and Ah Wei slid over last. When Ah Wei tied the luggage to his body, an egg accidentally fell out, scaring him to death!

Qing Yan keenly caught Yue Gou’s abnormality. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Hey, are the two of you hiding something from us?”

Just as Yue Gou was about to confess, a sage-like figure walked over casually.

“Senior Brother, long time no see.”

Qing Yan turned to look at the other party. It was a man about the same age as the old man. He was slightly taller than the old man and was wearing the priest’s robe with a smug expression.

Qing Yan knew him. He was Grandma’s junior brother, Qiu Wuya.

Qing Yan did not have a good impression of him. Firstly, this person’s reputation was not good. In his early years, there were rumors that he used living people to test medicine. Because he was Grandma’s junior brother and cousin, the elders spared his life. Secondly, this person had some personal grudges with Grandma.

In short, Qing Yan did not like him.

Seeing that he was wearing the priest’s clothes, Qing Yan frowned. “Who allowed you to touch Grandma’s things?”

“Look carefully.” Qiu Wuya spread his arms and smiled. “He’s no longer a priest. I am. You should call me Grandma.”

In the Ghost Clan, “Grandma” meant Venerable, but only people who were very family could call him that.

Qing Yan looked at him in disgust. “You think you’re worthy?”

Qiu Wuya did not argue with Qing Yan. He came to the old man and smiled. “The last time I saw you, you wanted to chase me out of the clan. Unexpectedly, when we met again, you were actually sitting in the prison carriage. On account that you have taken good care of me, I will beg the King to give you a quick death. However, I can’t do anything about these little fellows.”

The old man looked at him indifferently.

Qiu Wuya sneered. “Senior Brother, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t ask you to betray the Ghost Clan. I told you long ago that I would make you look at me in a different light one day.”

The old man’s eyes were cold. “What did you do? Why did the King make you a priest?”

Qiu Wuya smiled and said, “Because I can treat the King’s face. I can make the King stand in front of the world openly.”

The old man shook his head. “The King’s face can’t be treated at all, unless…”

Qiu Wuya interrupted him. “Unless he gives up his martial arts? Senior Brother, that’s because you’re incompetent, but it doesn’t mean I can’t.”

With that, he leaned close to the old man’s ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Using the heart of a living person as a catalyst, seven pairs of children’s blood, a fetus for forty-nine days… Senior Brother, do you want to continue listening?”

The old man looked at him calmly, not a trace of anger in his eyes.

Qiu Wuya was a little disappointed. “Three years ago, when I told you this, you wanted to kill me. How can you be indifferent now?”

The old man closed his eyes and ignored him.

Qiu Wuya sneered and said, “Then why don’t I tell you another piece of good news? Madam has already returned and is on her way to the palace. I’ve already set up an inescapable net. Senior Brother, let me capture the person you can’t capture on behalf of the King! I’ll prove to the King that I’m the most trustworthy priest!”

“You despicable person!” Qing Yan suddenly bumped into the wooden board of the prison cart.

Qiu Wuya took a step back and sneered at Qing Yan and the others. “Guards!”

The two guards walked forward and cupped their hands. “Priest Qiu!”

Qiu Wuya instructed coldly, “Keep a close eye on them. Don’t give them anything to eat or feed them water.”

“This…” The two guards looked at each other. One of them said, “Lord Cang said that we should keep an eye on them and not let anything go wrong. It’s fine with a few burly men, but the priest…”

The old man was old and could not stand much trouble.

Qiu Wuya said sarcastically, “Are my words useless? It’s fine even if we starve him. At most, if something happens, I’ll take the blame for you.”

The guard said, “Since Priest Qiu says so, we’ll just obey.”

Qiu Wuya sneered and left.

Qing Yan was furious. “Bastard!”

Yue Gou looked at Grandma with cracked lips and silently touched his waist. Only then did he remember that the water bag had been confiscated.

“I’m fine.” The old man closed his eyes.

At night, Qiu Wuya got someone to bring good wine and dishes to the guards. The fragrant meat and the fragrance of good wine made Qing Yan and the others hungry.

Slurp~

A certain egg gulped.

Just as Qing Yan and the others were starving, the luggage on the other prison carriage suddenly moved.

Qing Yan happened to be facing the direction of the luggage. He suspected that he had seen it wrongly and rubbed his eyes. In the next second, he saw the cloth on the luggage lift from the inside and a round little head stuck out.

Oh my god!

Qing Yan grabbed the wooden board behind him and almost jumped up!

Two, three round little heads popped out.

Slurp ~ Slurp ~

So hungry!

Qing Yan opened his mouth wide. Because he was too surprised, he almost lost his voice. He tugged at the old man’s sleeve.

The old man swallowed his saliva. “I’m not hungry.”

It’s not hunger! It’s… Look there!

The three little black eggs crawled out of the burden, twisted their round bodies, and crawled out of the gap between the wooden boards of the prison cart.

They were clearly so fat, but they crawled through such a narrow gap. The three little black eggs slipped behind the guard. The guard ate the last mouthful of meat. The three of them frowned in disappointment.

The guard was not full yet. He touched his stomach and said, “I’ll go get it.” Then he stood up and went to the kitchen.

The little black eggs followed adorably without a sound.

“Grandma!” Qing Yan finally found his voice. “Look over there!”

Grandma looked in the direction he was pointing. “What?”

Qing Yan was dumbfounded.

Where were they?

Where were the eggs?

Where were the three eggs?!!
