Chapter 620 - 312: Fairy-like beings! Meng Tuoluo’s lover!
Zhi Yan looked at the grand gate of the Butu Tower, where the bas-relief of Suo Lun had completely solidified into an exquisite form.
Moreover, the Suo Lun depicted on the relief was entirely bare.
"Go inside, aren’t you here to rescue your dear husband? He’s already dead inside. Why don’t you join him in a love pact in death?" the Witch Yuanyuan said with a girlish laugh.
Zhi Yan stared coldly at the witch, and slowly said, "You deliberately lured me here. You never truly wanted Suo Lun to help you obtain the Dragon Mark relic inside. You’re someone consumed by extreme vanity. After several years, you still couldn’t fully unravel the mystery of this Butu Tower; you definitely wouldn’t believe Suo Lun could understand it in just a few days."
Yuanyuan was taken aback, then said with a coquettish smile, "Keep talking."
Zhi Yan continued, "In Heilu County’s Mount E Yun, you deliberately left behind an energy aura for me to follow all the way here. At the docks of Xichui Da Dan City, you could have set sail in the dead of night, but you chose to leave during broad daylight to be seen. Not only that, you feared I would fail to track you, so when I inquired about your ship, by the third person I asked, someone approached me and volunteered your destination."
"Wow! This is getting more interesting by the moment," Yuanyuan giggled.
Zhi Yan went on, "After I hired a ship to set out to sea, the captain nonchalantly steered the ship along the correct route. Later, when I suspected that you may have come to Pagoda Island, I pointed out the exact direction, and the captain exhibited a look of astonishment. At that time, I did not understand why, but now it’s clear. That captain was indeed arranged by you, with the goal of leading me to Pagoda Island; he must have been greatly troubled by how to guide me here without leaving any traces. Yet, it turned out, I myself uttered the words ’Pagoda Island,’ and so his reaction was one of shock."
Yuanyuan’s beautiful eyes revealed genuine surprise as she looked at Princess Zhi Yan and said, "I’ve always thought of you as quite foolish, but it seems you were hiding your intelligence."
How could Zhi Yan possibly be foolish? She was undoubtedly one of the most intelligent people in the world.
It’s just that she was nearly devoid of desire and passion and had grown too lazy to show off her talents, be it her beauty, martial skills, or even her intelligence.
Zhi Yan said, "You captured Suo Lun, and then silently lured me here, seeking my death. And if I were to enter this Butu Tower voluntarily, you wouldn’t have to bear any responsibility. Afterwards, you could even tell Huai Bingyi that I died for love of Suo Lun, which would completely extinguish his thoughts of me. Then, you would seize the opportunity to step in."
