Chapter 1768: Chapter 1768: Are You Planning to Silence Me by Discussing This in Front of Me?
Carson Flores ultimately said nothing and obediently followed inside the cave mansion.
Carson had not revealed his real name, nor had he ever met the master of the Ten Thousand Snakes Mountain, and although the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas might be suspicious of him, if she really wanted to act, why would she need to deceive him?
Inside the cave mansion, after the middle-aged man invited the two to sit down, he smiled while scrutinizing Carson: "This friend looks very young, how should I address you?"
Carson replied, "Skyland Continent, Supreme Heaven Sect, Winston Gilliam, met the Mountain Master."
Carson previously entered the local branch of the Heavenly Alliance using the false name ’Everett Roth.’ He wasn’t sure if the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas had received any information or had heard of this name, so he didn’t dare use it again and made up another name in front of the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas using the last names of Shirley Miller and Samantha Tate.
The middle-aged man looked slightly surprised: "From Skyland Continent, how did you come to the Heavenly Profound Continent?"
Carson repeated the reason he had previously given to the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas, and the middle-aged man’s gaze fell on the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas: "Although it’s your freedom to use such a favor on whomever, I’m very curious, you as a prominent Immortal Monarch, how did you incur a favor from him?"
Carson understood immediately; this was suspicion directed at him.
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas is a dignified Immortal Monarch, with such power, what could she not accomplish, yet she owes a favor to an Earth Immortal?
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas calmly replied, "I was ambushed and seriously injured before. I met him on the road, and he took me to the villa of the medical immortal Jordan Roth, and then he found the crucial Fire Night Dragon Herb in the Bai Wilderness for me, or else, my injuries would have been very troublesome."
The middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Who dares to ambush you, tired of living?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas replied, "The Celestial Palace, led by the First Chief Guard of Immortal Palace, Daniel Patel."
The middle-aged man frowned, "Has Daniel Patel returned to the Celestial Palace again?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas said calmly, "Maggie Fitzgerald publicly intercepted Alfred Weaver. Since Alfred Weaver took over the Celestial Palace, how could she swallow this anger?"
The middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Even if Alfred Weaver took over the Celestial Palace, her strength is weak with little prestige, apart from being the Domain Master’s daughter, she’s nothing else, how many would actually listen to her? You have so many strong Heavenly Immortals under you, how could you be ambushed?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas shook her head: "I was ambushed in my own cave mansion, according to Daniel Patel, the southern branch had already been overrun by them, and most people were killed..."
The middle-aged man’s expression suddenly changed, "The Celestial Palace is so forceful?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas replied nonchalantly, "It was just taking advantage of a surprise attack, otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to kill me alone, let alone kill so many Heavenly Immortals from the branch."
The middle-aged man asked, "What do you plan to do?"
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas shook her head, "Regarding the branch, although my name is on it, Charles Roth is the one truly in charge. The Alliance Hierarch also knows this. If something happens to me, no one is held accountable. If something happens to the branch, naturally Charles Roth is responsible, not much to do with me."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as there’s nothing wrong, otherwise, it would be hard to report back."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas said indifferently, "I didn’t want the position in the first place, they insisted on having me in name only, I’ve long grown weary, it’s the perfect time to let it all go."
The middle-aged man shook his head, smiling wryly, "You want to stay completely out of it, I’m afraid it won’t be easy."
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas frowned, "Why?"
The middle-aged man sighed, "Regarding the branch, the Alliance Hierarch won’t blame you since you’ve said early on that it’s only nominal, and you don’t handle specific affairs. But the Alliance Hierarch values you greatly, this you surely know. How could he agree to let you stay out and enjoy a free life?"
The middle-aged man’s expression was very subtle, his gaze conveyed a kind of "you understand" look, which made Carson, who was listening on the sidelines, feel like sitting on pins and needles.
You two are discussing the internal affairs of the Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Alliance in front of an outsider like me, is this really okay?
Letting me know so many insider stories, could it be you plan to silence me?
Or perhaps, this is a test for me?
Carson was immediately startled by this thought.
Could it really be a test from the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas?
She suspects me, so she deliberately discusses these insider stories in front of me and the middle-aged man. If I show any unusual behavior, it proves I belong to the Celestial Palace, and she would easily get rid of me?
Although the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas wasn’t looking at him, his every move was clearly under her observation.
Carson quickly thought it over internally and then made a decision.
Wasn’t I delivering a message from Skyland Continent?
What Heavenly Alliance?
I have no clue at all!
Celestial Palace?
Of course, I know the Celestial Palace, but I know nothing else!
If I listen carefully yet remain clueless and bewildered, that’s the right attitude!
The Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas listened to the middle-aged man’s words, frowned as if she wanted to say something, but finally held back.
"He’s just too full, looking for trouble!"
Carson’s pupils suddenly shrank slightly, was she talking about the Hierarch of the Heavenly Alliance?
How does it sound like there’s some story between the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas and the Hierarch of the Heavenly Alliance? Seeing the middle-aged man hesitate and then change his words, could it be the Hierarch likes the Immortal Monarch of the Four Seas?
