âSorcerer Queen, you donât want anything to happen to His Highness Ye Yang, rightâ¦â Hong Luan tried her best to persuade her.
The Sorcerer Queen looked at her son in her arms and finally softened. She said to Hong Luan, âAlright, letâs go!â
âLetâs see who dares to leave!â Accompanied by a dignified and cold voice, the Third Elder appeared at the entrance of the hall. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hong Luanâs expression changed drastically. She quickly opened her arms and protected the Sorcerer Queen and His Highness Ye Yang behind her. Li Ruo took a small step back and looked at the Third Elder warily and fearfully.
Third Elder strode into the hall and said to the Sorcerer Queen, âNo one can leave this place today!â
Li Ruo shouted coldly, âThird Elder! Are you crazy? This is the palace. The Sorcerer Queen didnât summon you, but you dare to bring the army into the palace. Are you trying to rebel?â
âYouâre the ones who rebelled!â Third Elder reprimanded. He looked at the cold Sorcerer Queen and said, âHas the Sorcerer Queen forgotten what sheâs done all these years?â
The Sorcerer Queen sneered. âDonât come up with these dignified reasons. You know best what Iâve done. Youâre my accomplice, too. Youâre just using me as an example to please your new master when you see that my momentum is gone.â
The Third Elder cupped his hands at the sky and said, âWhat new master and old master? The Sorcerer Clan has always had one master, and that is His Highness, the Sorcerer King! â
âHahahahaâ¦!â The Sorcerer Queen looked up and laughed. âNie Chengen, oh Nie Chengen, when youâre thick-skinned, you really make me feel inferior. If you wanted to be loyal to him, why didnât you do so earlier? When he was imprisoned by me in the Sorcerer Kingâs Palace, why didnât I hear you say that heâs your only master?â
The Third Elder did not fly into a rage out of humiliation after his veil was removed, nor did he lose his composure on the spot. He only looked at the Sorcerer Queen very calmly. âSince the Sorcerer Queen is so smart, you should understand why I want to rebel against you!â
The Sorcerer Queenâs smile froze. âBecause of Nie Wanrou?â
The Third Elder said coldly, âThatâs right! You killed Wanrou! You even tried to hide it from me and treated me as a fool to charge into the battlefield for you! Wanrou has suffered enough in the Wen family. She even died but was still used by you! How can I take this lying down!â
The Sorcerer Queen laughed coldly. âIf you really feel sorry for your daughter, then you shouldnât have married her over back then. Didnât you sell her for a good future?â
The Third Elder gritted his teeth and said, âIf you hadnât deceived me back then, would I have believed that Wen Xu was someone I could entrust her life
The Sorcerer Queen raised her eyebrows. âWhat about after Nie Wanrou married into the Wen family? What happened after you realized that Wen Xu wasnât a good person? Why didnât you save her? To put it bluntly, your love for your daughter is only so-so. You only know how to pretend to be a loving father after losing her. Donât you think itâs very sad?â
A girl was married. How could she get a divorce just like that? Not to mention that there was no such precedent in the Sorcerer Clan, even if there was, the marriage between the two families involved too many things. One mistake and everything would go wrong. It was definitely not so easy to retreat.
And that was the Third Elderâs concern in the past. Ever since he had experienced so much, the Third Elder felt that power, fame, and even family glory were not as important as family. If he was given another chance, he would release his daughter from that cage even if he had to stop being an elder of the Sorcerer Clan.
Of course, the Sorcerer Queen was definitely not really defending Nie Wanrou. She was angering the Third Elder. If she didnât have a good life, no one could have a good life!
Third Elder almost fell for it. Fortunately, he came back to his senses. Third Elder said seriously, âThe Sorcerer Queen seems to have a lot to say. Then why donât you go to the prison and talk to the prison guard!â
With that, he gestured, and a group of guards in iron armor surged forward.
Ye Yang sat up straight and glared at them. âWhat are you doing to my mother! â
The Third Elder said, âYour Highness, this has nothing to do with you. Please move to the bedchamber first and avoid it.â
Ye Yang was only a twelve-year-old youth. He was still young and did not participate in the disgraceful matters of the Sorcerer Queen and the Great Elder. No matter how much Third Elder wanted to take revenge on the two of them, he would not vent his anger on Ye Yang. Moreover, Ye Yang was the Sorcerer Kingâs biological son. Even a vicious tiger would not hurt its cubs. How could Third Elder have the guts to touch him?
âDo you think Iâll do as you say? Who do you think you are!â Ye Yang picked up a candlestick at the side and threw it fiercely at the Third Elder.
The Third Elder did not dodge. His forehead was smashed and a bloody hole instantly appeared..
