Tingzhou and Wenmeng were still kneeling on the ground in a daze, not knowing where to start.

"Get up first."

Upon hearing Di Lin's order, Ting Zhou stood up suddenly.

Di Lin: "Tell me about the situation in Mutian City."

Ting Zhou wiped away the tears from his eyes: "When we left, Mutian City had already collapsed, and everyone was in chaos..."

Di Lin: "Where's the Beast God? Is he okay?"

Tingzhou: "I'm not sure... but I looked back and saw Xiaochu went to save him..."

Di Lin: "Is it Xiaochu? What about Hui?"

Wen Meng also remembered: "I don't know where he went. Anyway, we didn't see him when we left."

Di Lin thought about it, then snorted: "The fox's tail can't be hidden anymore."

Tingzhou looked at Wenmeng, and finally mustered up the courage to speak out the questions in his mind.

"King, but why did you become like that that day?"

Di Lin said nonchalantly: "Someone drugged me."

Ting Zhou was shocked: "Drug? How could it be... Then do you know who did it?"

Di Lin: "I discovered a secret, but someone was afraid that I would tell it, so they had to take action."

"But……"

Ting Zhou had even more doubts in his mind.

He and Wen Meng follow Di Lin almost inseparable every day, always ready to serve him at any time. How could anyone have the chance to drug the Dragon King?

Di Lin looked at Ting Zhou and asked: "Why are you mute?"

Ting Zhou: "No, no, I just think it's my fault..."

Di Lin: "I don't blame you."

Tingzhou: "You're not angry?"

Di Lin: "Of course, I noticed that there was something wrong with the water in the cup a long time ago, and I drank it on purpose."

Tingzhou and Wenmeng were shocked and looked at each other again.

Di Lin: "You don't need to know these. I still have a task for you two. I don't know if you dare to accept it."

"dare!"

Tingzhou gave the answer without hesitation.

Wen Meng couldn't help but glance at Ting Zhou.

He has always been a timid person. Whenever he encounters any problems, he always pushes Wen Meng away first.

Unexpectedly, today, he would stand up first.

After a few seconds of distraction, Wen Meng came to his senses and followed Tingzhou in responding, "I dare."

However, when they heard the "mission" that Di Lin said in full, they all regretted it...

After the two left, Di Lin coughed.

"Come out."

Xiaochu came out from behind the screen...

He used his hands to smooth out his messy hair and said to Di Lin, "Don't scare them."

Di Lin picked up the cup and took a sip of wine: "Not really. You've been with me for so long, you've seen the world after all."

Xiao Chu smiled bitterly: "I have lived for more than 10,000 years, and I was also shocked when I heard what you just said."

"I don't want to either. She is the one who wants me to be like this."

Di Lin spoke softly, as if he was brainwashing himself, and his words were full of helplessness.

Xiaochu nodded slightly. Yes, Di Lin definitely didn’t want to experience a situation like that day and such heart-wrenching pain again.

He looked at the almost empty bottle of wine on the table and sighed: "Then you might as well let me do it. I'm familiar with this job..."

Di Lin took another sip and shook his head: "No, the less you know about this, the more true it will be. Only by hiding it from his eyes can we best protect her."

Now that things have come to this, Xiaochu can no longer disagree: "Well... then I can only pray that everything goes well."

Di Lin waved his hand, which was his usual way of chasing guests away.

"Don't worry, you'll be busy later."

------------

The reason why Tingzhou and Wenmeng hurried to Tiger and Lion City was to ask Yuan Xiao for help in persuading Di Lin and easing the relationship with the Beast God.

In order to avoid being discovered that they had already met Di Lin, Yu Ren brought them both back to the castle gate, pretending that they had already registered and were waiting to be received by Yuan Xiao.

There were many guards patrolling not far away, and they would look over at them from time to time.

Being watched by so many eyes, Tingzhou and Wenmeng not only didn't dare to speak, they even felt uncomfortable sitting there.

The two were silent for a long time. Finally, Wen Meng couldn't help but speak first: "You said, the Dragon King..."

Even though Wen Meng's voice was very low, such sensitive words still frightened Ting Zhou so much that he trembled all over.

He quickly looked left and right, then pressed his index finger to his lips: "Shh, keep your voice down!"

Wen Meng moved closer to Ting Zhou and said in a lower voice: "This is Tiger and Lion City. It must be safe, otherwise the king would not have come here..."

Ting Zhou glanced at the guards in the distance: "Better be careful..."

Wen Meng nodded: "Do you think that Wang...he is a little bit abnormal?"

After hearing this, Tingzhou nodded vigorously, gesturing with his hands: "Ever since he pushed Mutian City away, I feel that he has changed. Today he even said that he wants to..."

"Shh!"

This time it was Wen Meng who said this, she was afraid that Ting Zhou would accidentally tell this matter out loud.

Ting Zhou certainly wouldn't take such a risk: "I know, but I won't tell you. What I mean is, do you think someone is impersonating the king?"

Wen Meng took a breath and said, "No way? Can our Dragon King have any rivals?"

Ting Zhou: "Why not? Wasn't he drugged this time?"

Wen Meng: "But didn't he say that he had already discovered it and drank it on purpose?"

Ting Zhou curled his lips: "He didn't even tell you the reason, and you believed it? Maybe he was just fooling us. He was so strict with us in the past, and we would be severely punished for the slightest mistake. This time, he didn't even scold us for such a serious matter as drugging us?"

Wen Meng thought about it and said, "Maybe it's just part of his plan. The king has become much more docile since he got together with his partner. Have you forgotten? He hasn't punished us for many years."

Tingzhou didn't say anything.

Wen Meng was right. The Dragon King was no longer the same as before. He rarely lost his temper as long as it was not related to the queen.

Emperor Lin has been king for a very long time. To sit on this position, one must be not only brave but also wise.

Such a big thing is not something a small follower like him can figure out.

As Tingzhou listened to what Wen Meng said, his suspicion of Di Lin gradually decreased.

But when he thought about the mission given to them by the Dragon King, he became conflicted again.

The Dragon King has not been so attentive to a female in all these years.

Caring and showing great concern can only be regarded as basic operations, not to mention offering all the treasures that have been collected for many years, and not to mention willingly ranking sixth.

When Yuan Xiao was in a coma, he even thought about exchanging one life for another.

But just now, he actually gave such an order.

He wanted the two of them to collect Yuan Xiao's body!
