210 Growing Up
Shen Lang had been a prodigy since he was young.
As he grew older, he became smarter.
“Bai Wan is already dead. It’s just that we haven’t been able to find her body. My uncle wanted to see her alive or dead. He refused to believe that she was dead. Therefore, this favor is very easy. The Yuan King only needs to find a skeleton from more than 20 years ago, build a grave, and make up a story.”
Shen Lang had seen his uncle being trapped by love and drowning in his sorrow. He was an indomitable man with red eyes as if he had been injured all over. The hurt in his heart had not healed for more than 20 years.
Every time he opened the bloody wound, it would only hurt like this.
Because he couldn’t find the spiritual medicine that could heal his wound.
To be honest, Mo Beiyuan disdained to lie.
Moreover, he did not think that Shen Lang’s move would be of any use to that infatuated Xuanyuan Yu.
Xuanyuan Yu had been yearning for her for over 20 years. It had been more than half of his life. Even if he lied to him and said that she was dead, it was useless.
“You’ve underestimated Xuanyuan Yu. Since he’s pined for her for more than 20 years, he’ll dig them out and investigate the identity of those bones even if there are bones. With his power, if Bai Wan is already dead, he should have found out long ago without you making up this lie. Therefore, since he’s certain that Bai Wan isn’t dead, perhaps she really isn’t.”
In Mo Beiyuan’s opinion, Shen Lang was still too inexperienced. That was why he felt that he could use such a simple method to deceive Xuanyuan Yu, a tyrant who had stepped on the bones of his half-brother.
Shen Lang turned his face away awkwardly and coughed softly. No wonder his uncle said that his temperament was still far from good and needed to be honed.
Shen Lang thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.
Then wouldn’t he have revealed the news for nothing and even betrayed his biological uncle?
If his uncle found out, he probably wouldn’t break his legs!
“Um, Yuan King, do you believe me if I say that what I said before was nonsense?”
Mo Beiyuan looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.
Shen Lang said, “Then don’t tell anyone that the Ten Direction Mystic Spirit Bracelet I told you about is with my uncle, okay?”
However confident Shen Lang was when he was about to make the deal, he was as humble as at present.
At the thought that his legs might be broken by her biological uncle, the tea in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
Mo Beiyuan actually wanted to thank him for telling him about the Ten Direction Mystic Spirit Bracelet at such a critical moment.
Therefore, he could give him a promise.
“If Xuanyuan Yu wants to kill you, you can come to the East Continent to look for me. I’ll protect your life.”
Shen Lang was speechless.
So, was this the promise he made in exchange for betraying his uncle?
Forget it. Since he had already said it, he could only pretend to be dead.
“I don’t know if it’s because I drank too much at the palace banquet yesterday, but I’m still very dizzy. What did I say to the Yuan King just now? I forgot about it myself.”
Shen Lang walked out of the Yuan Mansion’s study room.
He met Shen Yu’s big, curious eyes.
When Shen Yu saw him come out, he quickly lay on the ground and rolled around. “Stinky Brother, I want to see Little Sister! I want to go see Little Sister.”
Shen Lang wondered if he should roll on the ground to prove that he was drunk.
However, he glanced at his clean crescent-colored embroidered clothes and instantly gave up on this idea.
