Chapter 333: Fool me once Part3

The griffin was much faster than the flying sword and the bird even made sure that the entire journey was smooth and gentle.

So the group arrived in Eldoria in less than a couple of hours.

Tang Yue immediately gave out instructions to the bird to land directly in the Crown’s quarters in the royal palace.

This was not the formal practice and typically flying beasts were not allowed in the vicinity of the royal palace but Tang Yue couldn’t care less.

She knew that they wouldn’t dare to target and bring down the bird if she was sitting on it.

So she casually got the bird to land on the palace gardens.

Tang Yue waved at the elven soldiers who had promptly arrived to make sure that everything was fine and then she quickly helped Miller as they walked straight into the Crown’s quarters.

The number of people who entered the devil’s den can in fact be counted by fingers.

But Tang Yue didn’t care about it and directly headed into her old chamber.

She helped Miller relax on the feather bed and then ran out to look for Xander.

Unfortunately, the man was nowhere to be found in the adjacent chambers and the courtyard.

So Tang Yue was stumped.

She didn’t want to waste any time and she quickly approached one of the elven guards standing around in the corridor.

“Where is he?” 

The guard bowed and greeted her and then politely replied. “His highness is at the courtroom.”

Tang Yue furrowed her brows trying to decide if she wanted to wait for his return.

“Surely he must have noticed that I am back? I also have Master with me.” 

“He will probably come and visit me very soon.” She hissed silently and went back to Miller.

She didn’t want to kick up a fuss in the courtroom in front of everyone and put Xander in an awkward position.

The tension between the two races was not something to be taken lightly. 

Even Xander’s own personal Generals might not be pleased if he readily agrees to help out a high-ranking dwarven elite.

And after all, she was the one requesting the man for his help. So Tang Yue decided to be a little polite.

She calmly walked over and sat next to Miller, watching the dwarf sleep peacefully.

The superficial injuries on the dwarf’s body were still bleeding. 

So she quietly prepared a medicinal bowl and wiped away and cleaned the injuries.

As she patiently waited for Xander to come and visit her, time slowly ticked away.

But weirdly, no one showed up even after a couple of hours.

Tang Yue started to feel uneasy. She could tell that this was not going to be easy.

Was the devil holding a grudge? She felt a bit nervous.

She had no doubt that the man would help her but she was afraid of the payment he might ask this time.

As the snake gulped nervously thinking about several things, a lazy voice sounded in her brain.

“You are wasting your time, little snake.”

Huh? Tang Yue was startled for a second. She hadn’t heard this voice for a while.

The old man didn’t even peek out and offer her help or the Lucky sticker when she needed him the most when she was fighting for her life, but now he has something to say?

Tang Yue was irritated. She didn’t respond to the old man.

“Stupid little snake. If I thought that you were going to die, I would have intervened.”

“You don’t understand. That old fox is not a good man.”

“Which old fox?” Tang Yue asked, clearly not yet satisfied with his explanation.

“The old dwarf you met inside the hut. The deity. Don’t trust him.”

“If he senses me one more time, he will kill you and strip your soul from your body and then get to me.”

“If that happens, then no one else can save you. Who here in this well can stand against a deity?”

“Think about it properly.”

“Why do you think he didn’t intervene, even though he could sense the human being? He was clearly fishing for me.”

Tang Yue sighed. On one hand, she didn’t want to believe the old man because the dwarf had after all helped her.

But then again, the old man as well cared about her and she knew for a fact that he genuinely wanted her to survive and become powerful.

To what end? She didn’t know yet, but she at least knew this much.

Tang Yue nodded her head in contemplation. She was getting tired of these two-faced people littered all around her.

She gazed at the distance for a few seconds before sighing again. She decided to believe his words in the end.

The bastard was cunning and calculative but she couldn’t blame him for that. After all, she was also the same.

If he insisted that the dwarven Deity was trouble then it would be in her best interests to take his word for it and believe him.

Seeing Tang Yue’s expressions change and her feelings warm up, the old man quickly chimed in again.

“Now do you understand? You have far too many enemies here. You cannot afford to waste your time anymore.”

“You need to train more, become stronger and more powerful in a short time.”

“Initially I was against this idea but now I don’t think you have a choice anymore. I didn’t expect a human being to sniff you out.”

“If you stay here any longer, you will surely fall.” The old man warned.

Tang Yue dazedly nodded as she pondered about her options.

“You don’t have to tell me that. Coincidentally, I have also been thinking of the same.”

“But how can I become stronger faster? Where can I go?”

Cultivation took its own time and no one had the ability to urge it according to their needs.

But Tang Yue had something else other than her cultivation.

“We can go hunting!” The old man chimed excitedly. 

Even though he was just a soul sliver, the excitement in his voice was palpable.
