Chapter 2495: Chapter 2496: It’s a man-eating dinosaur!
A thousand precautions may fail; it only takes one oversight.
"Honestly, my own thoughts seem strange to me too, Zimo. On the Illusion Continent, Sky City is the pinnacle, and Lu Tiankuo and Lu Tianfeng are the brothers of the city lord. Why would they risk so much to do such dangerous things?"
Lin Caisang asked her husband while drinking milk.
"Moreover, who could make them follow orders like obedient little lambs? I can’t think of anyone other than the lord of Sky City!"
Lu Tianlan: "..."
This daughter-in-law of his, they hadn’t been chatting for long, and she had already begun to attack him personally.
What did she mean by no one else besides him?
"You little girl, stop attacking me; I’m your father-in-law!"
"Ha, my Zimo hasn’t recognized you yet."
Lin Caisang said to him, smiling carefreely.
Lu Tianlan was helpless and could only shake his head, sighing lightly. His son and daughter-in-law were both quite the handful.
Who knows what kind of little monster their union might produce.
"Let’s not talk about this. Who said other than me as the city lord, no one could make Lu Tiankuo and Lu Tianfeng follow like sheep? There’s still a continent beyond the Illusion Continent."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang glanced at each other, raising their eyebrows.
Could there truly be a continent beyond the Illusion Continent, and what kind of existence would it be?
No, what they should ask is, it must be a place that people on the Illusion Continent long for, right?
So, are Lu Tiankuo and Lu Tianfeng longing for that place as well?
"Zimo, this is a classic case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."
She marveled, although the analogy wasn’t perfect, this desolate land was like the cicada, at the very bottom, with a mantis waiting to prey on it.
But behind the mantis, there was an oriole, even more powerful than the mantis.
"So, the person behind Lu Tianfeng is likely that oriole, isn’t it?"
She asked them.
The three of them: "..."
It would be better if it were just an oriole, but unfortunately, it might be a man-eating dinosaur!
"Or, maybe there is no such person at all, and it’s just my imagination."
Before they could speak, Lin Caisang laughed and spoke again.
"Whether it’s just imagination or not, you’re right; it’s not impossible, so it needs a thorough investigation." Lu Tianlan said.
He was also suspicious. How did Lu Tianfeng, someone who pretended to be sick in his mansion for years, have such power? And even if he has the ambition, he doesn’t have the wealth for it.
But if someone has been supporting Lu Tianfeng all along, it makes sense.
But what’s the purpose of the person supporting Lu Tianfeng? Is it to create chaos in the Illusion Continent by nurturing a demonic child? What could he possibly gain from it?
This is indeed a perplexing issue.
He thought, only by unraveling this mystery completely could they know the truth.
"Investigating this matter requires caution," Sui Zimo carefully advised Lu Tianlan.
"Haha."
Lu Tianlan chuckled lightly at his words.
"Zimo, don’t worry about me. Those people aren’t capable of hurting me yet."
