Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 19) Chapter 495: Chapter 495 Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 19) Gu Shengyin thought for a moment before she spoke to Ailuner, carefully omitting certain details about Xi Lili.
Of course, she wouldn’t reveal anything about the storyline, nor about Ailuner’s circumstances.
She merely said that by a fortunate coincidence, she happened to glimpse the future under the Holy Tree. This human girl named Xi Lili would bring a great disaster to the Elf Race, so she had come to investigate.
After hearing this, Ailuner remained silent for a long time. His first feeling was actually one of relief: Her Majesty the Queen’s interest in that human was not because she was fascinated.
Immediately he realized how selfish his thoughts were: at such a moment, he was only concerned about his own matters. His small schemes paled in significance compared to the disaster facing the entire Elf Race.
He hurriedly asked, “Have you found the reason then?”
Gu Shengyin shook her head, “I’ve got some clues, but haven’t found the real reason yet.”
It was already late, so Gu Shengyin did not talk much with Ailuner, and both went to rest.
The next day, news spread that a maid from Xi Lili’s Mansion almost got hit by a carriage when she went out, but fortunately, the coachman reined in the horse in time, and she just suffered a minor scrape.
However, it did not end there. While buying items, the maid was hit on the head by a knife sheath that flew out of a weapon shop, and when she went to the clinic for treatment, she stepped on something someone had thrown on the ground and broke her leg.
Everyone in the town said that this maid must have done something wrong to provoke the wrath of the divinities, otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?
Even while being carried to the clinic, the maid kept praying to the divinities with her hands clasped together in fear.
When Gu Shengyin learned of these incidents, she frowned: Indeed, at this moment, Xi Lili had already begun to snatch others’ fate. No, whether this “Xi Lili” was the real Xi Lili was still debatable.
To truly clear up this matter, the source had to be approached directly.
That night, Gu Shengyin acted decisively, taking the sleeping Xi Lili to a deserted place.
She laid Xi Lili on the ground.
“I know you are awake, there’s no need to pretend,” Gu Shengyin said indifferently.
Xi Lili’s eyes trembled, and as she opened her eyes, she first glanced at Gu Shengyin, then the surrounding environment, and burst into tears, crying out, “Who are you? Where is this place? I want to find my mother…”
Gu Shengyin internally praised her acting skills. If she hadn’t witnessed how she forcefully seized others’ fate in the dead of night, she might have been fooled as well.
“No need to cry, I know you’re not Xi Lili. Who are you really?” While speaking, Gu Shengyin used her magic power, making her voice sound as if it were demanding answers directly from one’s soul, causing a sudden sense of alarm.
“Xi Lili” collected her emotions and evaluated Gu Shengyin seriously for the first time. However, she was using disguise magic, the Elf Queen’s disguise magic, which hardly anyone in this world could see through.
“Xi Lili” knew in her heart that this person was more formidable than she had imagined and dropped the pretense, “Why would such a distinguished individual come to a place like Locke Town and target a poor person like me?”
“Poor person?” Gu Shengyin scoffed, “No, you’re not a poor person; you’re just adept at turning ordinary people into poor people.”
She directly exposed the actions of the person before her.
