#1133 - Chapter 1133: Knowing that Yao Tao was under control
“You might not know this, but Father wanted to go to Gold Land to dissuade Jin Ji, but Grandfather dissuaded him. In the end, Father didn't listen, and Grandfather left,” Lie Yan explained.
“Hahaha, let me tell you, the reason Grandfather left was because he had important matters to attend to,” Long Liu said with a laugh.
“What important matters?” Marquis Lie Yan asked.
“Of course, it was to intercept and kill Marquis Lie Huo to prevent him from dissuading Jin Ji,” Long Liu replied.
“Intercept and kill my father!? How is that possible?” Marquis Lie Yan was shocked to hear this.
However, Long Liu's words made sense in theory, and the possibility couldn't be completely ruled out.
“What's impossible about it? To be honest, he came to Dragon Land to find me, hoping I could send someone to do this. But I didn't want to have too much involvement with him, so I refused,” Long Liu explained.
“What happened later?” Marquis Lie Yan asked.
“Later, Grandfather went to Gold Land. You should be able to guess what he did specifically, right?” Long Liu hinted.
“Impossible! Grandfather has always advocated for the crusade against Gold Land, he would never harm my father!” Marquis Lie Yan didn't believe it.
“Let me tell you another thing,” Long Liu knew he wouldn't easily believe his words, so he came prepared.
“Speak!” Marquis Lie Yan said with a frown.
“Do you know who suggested that King Jin Ji marry Yao Tao?” Long Liu asked.
“I don't know. Do you know?” Marquis Lie Yan asked.
“Of course, this person is none other than Yao Tao's father, Grandfather Yao,” Long Liu replied.
“What? Don't talk nonsense!” Marquis Lie Yan was shocked for the second time.
“I also hope I'm wrong. But after arriving in Gold Land, I investigated carefully. From some attendants who were present at the time, I learned that the old man who offered the plan was indeed the same person as Grandfather Yao,” Long Liu explained.
“This… I don't understand, why would Grandfather do this?” After listening to his explanation, Marquis Lie Yan somewhat believed it.
“Don't you understand yet? The whole thing was planned by Grandfather alone. He first designed for you to fall in love with Yao Tao, and then, on the grounds that the Jin Kingdom would have a great disaster, he persuaded King Jin Ji to marry her. In this way, an irreconcilable contradiction would arise between Gold Land and Yan Land.”
“Next, he would use your desire to rescue Yao Tao to guide you to crusade against Gold Land,” Long Liu succinctly recounted the entire event.
“If what you said is true, then I don't understand, what is he trying to gain by doing this?” Lie Yan simply couldn't believe that there were such incredible things involved.
“Returning to the question I mentioned earlier, do you think Grandfather Yao was really talking nonsense after drinking?” Long Liu asked.
“You mean…” Lie Yan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
“If Grandfather Yao is the Immortal Master, then this matter is easy to explain. King Jin Ji didn't listen to the Immortal Master's advice, so the Immortal Master went to Yan Land in a fit of anger. Then, he transformed into an old man and controlled a girl named Yao Tao. Then, he waited for the opportunity for this girl to meet you by chance…
“Think about it, is there such a possibility?” Long Liu connected the whole thing together.
“Wait! Are you saying that Yao Tao is being controlled?” Marquis Lie Yan heard something different.
“This is my assumption. Judging from her age, Yao Tao is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but Grandfather Yao already looks seventy or eighty years old. Think about it, the age difference between the two is huge, it wouldn't be a problem for him to be her grandfather, right?”
“Also, if Grandfather Yao is really the Immortal Master, then he definitely wouldn't have time to have such a big daughter. So, I guess that Yao Tao is being controlled,” Long Liu explained.
“Yao Tao is being controlled! Yao Tao is being controlled?” Marquis Lie Yan repeated the same sentence over and over again.
“Marquis Lie Yan, from the current situation, this Immortal Master is interfering, I'm afraid he has some ulterior motives.”
“Although I don't know why he's doing this, it's highly likely that he wants to disintegrate the orthodox scriptures passed down by the Nata tribe for generations.”
“That's why I suggest that you don't become the leader of the Nata tribe, but rather take Yao Tao and go into seclusion,” Long Liu said his conclusion.
“Yao Tao is being controlled! Yao Tao is being controlled!” Lie Yan didn't know if he heard Long Liu's words, and was still muttering over and over again.
“Marquis Lie Yan? Are you listening?” Long Liu asked.
“Long Liu, I ask you, how can I verify whether Yao Tao is being controlled?” Marquis Lie Yan asked.
“There is indeed a way,” Long Liu replied.
He had already thought of this method, and answered without hesitation at this time.
“Quick, tell me!” Marquis Lie Yan urged anxiously.
“I remember you once said that when you were in Yan Land, you gave Marquis Yan Dong a jade pendant that could shield against mind control,” Long Liu reminded.
