#1114 - Chapter 1114: Almost Falling Apart
"Hahaha! Surprised? That's right! I am Cheng Bang! A Celestial Master of the Nata tribe!" Cheng Bang admitted generously.
It's just unknown whether he can be so bold after sobering up.
"What? You are Cheng Bang?" At this moment, Lie Yan finally reacted.
He suddenly stood up from the ground, his eyes wide open.
"This, this, this..." Bai Yuhou was at a loss for words.
He looked at Lie Yan, then at Long Liu, and then simply knelt on the ground.
"Thump~"
"Celestial Master! I beg you to use your powers to save the Nata tribe!"
He directly kowtowed his head on the ground, bursting into loud cries.
"Thump~"
Lie Yan also knelt down on the ground, also crying and pleading.
"Celestial Master! I beg you, please save Yao Tao!"
"Hmm?" Long Liu looked at Lie Yan.
"Does Yao Tao have some kind of relationship with this Lie Yan?" he guessed.
"Hmph! All of you, get up! Whether it's saving the Nata tribe or saving Yao Tao, you can only rely on yourselves." Cheng Bang turned his head to the side, showing no sympathy for them.
"Celestial Master! You are the Celestial Master of Jin Wang! As long as you say a word, he will definitely listen to you!" Lie Yan shouted.
"Shut up! You are already 17 years old, yet you are still like a child! Do you know that you almost ruined the future of the entire Yan Land for a woman? Do you not know why your father led the tribe to migrate north?" Cheng Bang questioned him sternly.
In reality, this was not the real reason for his anger.
The reason he was angry was Lie Yan's lack of ambition. Lie Yan was the new leader of the Nata tribe that he planned to support. Controlling Yao Tao and provoking conflict between Yan Land and Jin Land was also to motivate him and make him determined to confront Jin Land.
But Lie Yan's mind was full of Yao Tao, and he didn't think about anything else.
Now he felt like he had become a full-time nanny, taking care of everything for him.
This was something he didn't want to accept.
If he ended up cultivating a useless person, he would have to continue to find a new successor.
When would the goal of establishing a unified, centralized state be realized?
"Celestial Master! If you just say a word to Jin Wang, asking him to release Yao Tao, wouldn't that solve the problem? Why do we have to take risks and go to war with him?" Lie Yan didn't understand.
"What are you saying? Even if Yao Tao is released, does that change the fact that Jin Wang Ji is immoral?"
Before Cheng Bang could refute him, Bai Yuhou couldn't listen anymore.
In fact, the three of them had different ideas on this point. Moreover, there were significant differences between their ideas.
Cheng Bang's goal was centralized power, regardless of who was the king.
Bai Yuhou wanted to overthrow Jin Wang and restore the Nata tribe's tradition of abdication.
Lie Yan simply wanted to snatch Yao Tao back.
The reason why the three of them could cooperate, in addition to Cheng Bang's facilitation behind the scenes, was that they had the same short-term goal.
Now, Cheng Bang first revealed the truth after drinking, and then Lie Yan started talking nonsense.
The cooperative relationship between the three was on the verge of breaking down.
Long Liu, with his keen eyes, knew that if they continued talking, they would fall apart, so he shouted:
"Someone! Help the three of them to rest, they are all drunk."
The servants, upon receiving the order, hurried forward to help everyone.
"Don't touch me! Don't touch me!" Lie Yan refused to be helped.
"Young Master Lie Yan, you are drunk." Long Liu gave the servants a look, instructing them to forcibly drag him away.
Bai Yuhou and Cheng Bang were also unwilling to leave, but after a few confused shoves, they followed the servants away.
The next day.
"Hiss~"
Cheng Bang woke up first.
"Hmm? How did I get here yesterday?" He touched his head, unable to remember anything.
He looked around, but there was no one there.
So he staggered to his feet and walked out of the thatched hut.
It was already a bright sunny day, and from the position of the sun, it could be judged that it was already late.
"How did I sleep until now? It must have been that thing called Qiongjiang that caused it."
"Damn it! I didn't lose my composure, did I?"
Cheng Bang muttered to himself.
"Elder, you're awake!" Hu Ba walked over.
Behind him followed two people, carrying food and water.
"Oh, Butler Hu Ba. How did I end up sleeping here?" Cheng Bang asked.
"You were drunk yesterday, and Young Master Long Liu asked me to arrange for you to rest here," Hu Ba explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then, did I do anything out of line yesterday?" Cheng Bang looked at him, asking tentatively.
"Anything out of line? There were some," Hu Ba said with a covered smile.
"Really? What did I say?" Cheng Bang's expression suddenly changed.
"You said you were Celestial Master Cheng Bang," Hu Ba said with a smile.
"What? I really said that?" Cheng Bang thought to himself, things were going bad. What he feared had come to pass.
"Hahaha! Elder, you're not still drunk, are you? If you're a Celestial Master, then I'm the Jin Wang!" Hu Ba mocked.
