Chapter 527: Fox’s Tail
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom did not answer Sean’s question. Instead, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Sean, gesturing, “Mr. Great, you have traveled a long way and are weary. My place is simple, with only a pot of clear tea, a cherished possession of mine that I rarely share with others. If you don’t mind, please have a taste and see how it is.”
“It’s my way of being a good host!”
The fragrance of the tea filled the air!
Sean lowered his head and glanced at the tea. Could there be poison in it??
No choice!
This was the Buddha Academy in the capital of the North Kingdom, surrounded by enemies. For Sean, it was like entering an enemy’s lair. He had to be cautious, especially since the National Teacher of the North Kingdom had already guessed his true identity!
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Sean hesitate, the National Teacher of the North Kingdom asked with a smile, “Mr. Great, don’t want to drink? Or… dare not?”
With a hint of provocation!
Damn!
He was being looked down upon!
“The National Teacher personally poured the tea, it would be rude not to drink it, right?”
Sean also smiled and replied, then picked up the cup of tea and took a sniff in front of his nostrils. He raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp, nodding and saying, “Good tea! It has the bitterness of chrysanthemum, the fragrance of jasmine, and the mellow taste of roses… tea is like life, full of various flavors. To be able to make such tea, the National Teacher’s craftsmanship is truly extraordinary!”
Just drink it!
Even if there was poison in the tea, Sean wasn’t afraid. His bloodline had been “tortured” by Lilies Archer before. Although it couldn’t compare to Lilies Archer’s toxic bloodline, it was still immune to most poisons!
And as a bonus, they engaged in some mutual praise!
“Hehe!”
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom laughed again, first nodding and saying, “Mr. Great, at such a young age, I never expected you to be knowledgeable in tea as well. It seems I made the right choice with this pot of tea!”
Then, out of nowhere!
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom changed the topic and shook his head, saying, “However, although tea is like life, there is one thing Mr. Great got wrong. This tea is called Hundred Flower, and it is not my creation. I am merely borrowing it as an offering!”
“Oh?”
Sean’s face darkened. They were engaged in mutual praise, but it turned out to be false? Damn it, why didn’t you say that earlier? Sean curiously asked, “If it’s not the National Teacher, then who?”
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom said, “I have a adopted daughter, Amy Colossal. She personally crafted this tea five years ago, and I treasured it ever since…”
Amy Colossal!
Sean’s eyebrows couldn’t help but furrow. For someone of the National Teacher of the North Kingdom’s age, it wasn’t surprising to have an adopted daughter, or even a biological daughter or grandchildren!
But what was strange was!
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom had indirectly brought up his adopted daughter, as if he wanted to use her to lure Sean, entice him, or win him over because Sean was handsome and had great potential!?
In an instant!
Sean imagined many things!
What made Sean even more curious was that this tea was actually crafted by Amy Colossal five years ago. What happened during these five years? Was there no more tea crafting? Did something happen?
It sounded like…
There was a story behind it!
Only at this moment did Sean finally understand. The National Teacher of the North Kingdom, this old fox, had ulterior motives. Perhaps his conditions were related to his adopted daughter, Amy Colossal!!!
“Where is Miss Colossal?”
Sean was tactful. Since the National Teacher of the North Kingdom wanted to tell him a story, he would listen!
“She’s inside!”
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom pointed to a thatched hut opposite and then sighed, saying in a solemn voice, “Miss Colossal is of a similar age to Mr. Great. She loves the art of tea and is exceptionally intelligent. If I have the good fortune to introduce you, I believe you will become good friends!”
This…
The more Sean listened, the more it sounded like a scheme!
Sean looked at the thatched hut and said, “In that case, why don’t you invite Miss Colossal out for a meeting?”
Upon hearing this!
The expression on the National Teacher of the North Kingdom’s face darkened, and he shook his head, saying, “Unfortunately, my daughter has been weak and plagued by illness since childhood. She fell into a coma five years ago and has not woken up since then…”
As he spoke!
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom looked at Sean, his face filled with deep concern, and continued, “To be frank, the reason I went through so much trouble to bring you here is for my daughter’s sake!”
“Oh?”
Sean was taken aback. Indeed, the fox’s tail was revealed!
So!
Without letting the National Teacher of the North Kingdom go into further detail, Sean shook his head and politely declined, “National Teacher, you overestimate me. As a strong user of bright energy and the esteemed National Teacher of the North Kingdom, you have everything you need. Miss Colossal has been in a coma for five years, and I believe you have tried every possible method and exhausted all available resources. If even you are helpless, what can I do?”
Indeed!
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom’s status and power were not weaker than Sean’s. The things he couldn’t accomplish, Sean knew he didn’t have the ability to do either!
Moreover!
The National Teacher was the National Teacher of the North Kingdom, not the National Teacher of the Shirine Empire. As an opposing force, Sean couldn’t find a reason to help the National Teacher of the North Kingdom!
“Mr. Great, please be patient and listen to me!”
Driven by his desperation to save his daughter, the National Teacher of the North Kingdom ignored Sean’s refusal and continued, “As Mr. Great said, I have indeed tried everything in the past five years, but nothing worked. My daughter’s illness is incredibly strange. Her breathing is normal, her pulse is steady, just like an ordinary person… as if she’s asleep!”
“However!”
“My daughter is not proficient in martial arts and has never activated her bloodline. But within her core, there seems to be a chilling aura. This chilling aura is very distinct. Once an outsider’s dark energy or bright energy enters her body, it is engulfed by that chilling aura!”
“In my opinion!”
“The existence of that chilling aura should be the root cause of my daughter’s coma!”
“Unfortunately!”
“Even with my current strength, I cannot resist the erosion of that chilling aura. I have tried before, continuously infusing bright energy into my daughter’s body, but in the end, it was all devoured by that chilling aura. I almost exhausted all my strength and died right there…”
When it came to Amy Colossal!
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom quickly lost his composure and became somewhat agitated. The wrinkles on his face were filled with worry. Sean could tell that the National Teacher loved his adopted daughter very much!
“Is that so?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
To be honest!
After listening to the National Teacher of the North Kingdom’s story, a wave of emotions surged within Sean. He had never activated his bloodline, yet it contained chilling aura in its core, capable of devouring the dark energy and bright energy of others like a bottomless pit. Such a strange occurrence, Sean had never heard of such a thing in all his years!
“That’s right!”
The National Teacher of the North Kingdom stared at Sean intently, full of anticipation, and said, “Initially, I had lost hope and planned to accompany my daughter until the end…”
“However!”
“Just when I was about to give up, someone provided me with a new idea and brought new hope!”
“He said!”
“Perhaps the chilling aura within my daughter’s core is too strong, and my bloodline is relatively weak, unable to suppress the chilling aura. Therefore, if someone’s bloodline is strong enough, strong enough to surpass the devouring power of the chilling aura, perhaps they could reverse and dissolve that chilling aura, completely curing my daughter’s illness and wake her up…”
Upon hearing this!
A chill ran down Sean’s spine, and he completely understood!
Damn!
After all this, it turned out that the National Teacher of the North Kingdom, this old fox, had his eyes on his bloodline!
Who is it?
Who the hell made such a suggestion to the National Teacher of the North Kingdom?
So!
Feeling shocked and angry, Sean couldn’t help but ask, “Who is this person the National Teacher is talking about? Can his words be trusted?!”
