That's highly suspicious.
While Liu Lanyan and the Demon God were "communicating well" in their room, Luan Wang and his group, who had been assigned accommodations, were not having such an easy time.
Liu Xinya stood nervously to the side, secretly and cautiously glancing at Luan Wang's expression.
The room was extremely quiet, a suffocating silence that weighed heavily on Liu Xinya's heart, making her heart race and her palms sweat.
"Liu Xinya." After a long while, just as Liu Xinya was on the verge of a mental breakdown and kneeling to beg for mercy, the Prince of Luan finally spoke out in a show of mercy.
"Yes," Liu Xinya quickly replied.
“You never said that Liu Lanyan was such a sharp-tongued person.” When Luan Wang said this, his face was expressionless, like an elder lecturing his ignorant junior.
“Liu Lanyan wasn’t like this before. It’s only recently, after following the Lord, that she has changed.” The King of Luan’s calm voice stirred up a storm in Liu Xinya’s heart. She hurriedly explained, afraid of displeasing the King of Luan.
"Did the Lord make her do this?" The King of Luan's voice was unreadable, which made Liu Xinya even more uncertain.
Whether it's anger or rage, there needs to be some indication so that she'll agree with what he's saying.
"Actually, Liu Lanyan wasn't stupid when she was young. It's just that after her uncle passed away, she was traumatized and became dull and stupid. She may have recovered recently thanks to the Lord's treatment."
Liu Xinya had no choice but to try her best to find excuses and reasons.
Who would have thought that Liu Lanyan would deliver such an "outstanding" speech in the royal palace, catching her completely off guard?
They were completely on the defensive and taking the beatings.
"Your Excellency is truly skilled. You can even heal someone who has suffered a shock so well. I really don't know if Liu Lanyan was always this clever, or if she was taught by Your Excellency later?" King Luan snorted, causing Liu Xinya to shudder inexplicably.
“King Luan, about this matter…” Liu Xinya wanted to explain, as she did not want to die in the demon realm this time.
“You don’t need to worry about this matter; someone will handle it.” Prince Luan waved his hand, stopping Liu Xinya from speaking. “Spend more time with your family these days.”
The Prince of Luan deliberately emphasized the word "close," which made Liu Xinya immediately understand. She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I understand."
"Yes, go down." Prince Luan waved his hand, signaling Liu Xinya to leave.
Once only Luan Wang's confidants remained in the room, Luan Wang's face darkened, and he gently tapped the table with his index finger as if deep in thought.
"What do you think?" King Luan asked in a deep voice, without pointing at anyone in particular.
The trusted confidants exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This matter was probably planned by the Lord long ago."
After speaking, and hearing no objection from the King of Luan, the man boldly speculated, "Could it be that the Lord has already planned to force the Prince to return to the Demon Realm to verify this matter?"
After speaking, she looked up slightly and saw the corners of Luan Wang's lips slightly upturned. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had hit the nail on the head.
Prince Luan raised his hand slightly, and his confidants, who were already used to their prince's actions, immediately prepared writing materials.
Without a second thought, the Prince of Luan quickly wrote a letter, then waited for the ink to dry before putting it into an envelope.
He then handed it to his trusted aide and instructed, "Send it back to the Demon Realm immediately."
"Yes." The confidant accepted the order, tucked the letter into his pocket, and quickly left.
King Luan smiled with satisfaction, his face showing no trace of the gloom he had just displayed.
The Demon God would definitely not let Qin Ming's matter rest; he had already anticipated this.
So, when Liu Xinya was being pressed step by step by Liu Lanyan in the royal palace, he did not say anything to stop her. Did he really think that Liu Xinya was completely frightened by the rapidly changing situation?
He was surprised, but the way things were going was exactly what he wanted.
His original purpose in coming to the demon realm was to uncover the mastermind behind Qin Ming's affair.
He has no objection to anyone wanting to deal with the demon realm, but if dealing with the demon realm brings danger to the demon realm, he will resolutely stop it.
Besides him, the other two princes whose strength was comparable to his were the ones who were dealing with the demon realm, and that was exactly what he needed to find out.
The Demon Emperor was in a difficult position. If he were to move against a powerful prince without any reason, it would be nothing short of a major upheaval for the Demon Realm.
This would be bad for both the Demon Emperor's status and the stability of the Demon Realm.
However, if all of this was forced upon them by the demon realm, there wouldn't have been such a strong backlash.
In order to maintain the stability of the demon realm, the monster realm must be given an explanation.
Even if the mastermind behind this incident cannot be completely eradicated, their strength will be severely weakened.
In this way, the Demon God's relentless pursuit actually did the Demon Emperor a great favor.
The Demon Emperor sent him here for this purpose: to bring Liu Xinya along and have her draw out the person behind her.
Once that person is severely weakened, the portion of their power will naturally return to the Demon Emperor's hands.
It's time for the Demon Realm to get a proper overhaul, and it would be best to start with this matter.
With Qin Ming as the catalyst, it doesn't feel abrupt.
They were also innocent, completely forced into it, and "had to" find the culprit in order to avoid triggering a war between the demon and monster realms.
Whether the mastermind can ultimately protect himself depends on how this matter unfolds.
King Luan smiled with satisfaction. He was looking forward to this trip to the demon realm. He wanted to see what the people behind Liu Xinya would do.
Liu Xinya was naturally unaware of Luan Wang's plans, but what happened in the palace hall terrified her.
She was acting on Elder Li's orders to come and resolve this matter. If the King of Luan were to send the message back to the Demon Realm, she would be in deep trouble.
