Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Hearing this, Tie Luo, who was standing behind the Stone Demon, couldn't help but want to slap his forehead.

——Finally I couldn’t hide it anymore.

Today, he really wanted to find Bayan alone.

But he was intercepted by the Queen halfway.

The moment he saw the other person's expression, he knew something was wrong. He didn't dare to be angry all the way, but he still retained the last bit of luck: What if Her Majesty the Queen just had other urgent matters and wanted to talk to her chief advisor?

Now, the last chance was shattered.

"Your Majesty," Bayan's hand froze and he spoke slowly: "I..."

"You don't have to make other excuses," Stone Demon interrupted him, "I'm just here to get an answer. Either you let Seto come out to see me directly, or tell me——"

"My daughter, where is she now...or is she dead or alive?"

She spoke very fast, almost like a rapid-fire barrage of words.

There was urgency in his words.

Tieluo had never seen his queen look like this, let alone take such a questioning stance towards Bayan, her most trusted chief advisor.

Seto ran away.

They teamed up to hide it from everyone, including her mother.

When Seto was a child, he was like an ordinary child and liked to cling to his mother. However, when he grew up and learned the identity of the stone demon, and learned more and more things through Bayan's teachings, he became taciturn in front of the stone demon. , and even sometimes find excuses to avoid her.

The Stone Demon also knew that her daughter was not very close to him at ordinary times. Besides being involved in military affairs, she had to insist on training. Even if she occasionally had time to ask, she would always be put off.

But looking at her performance today, Tie Luo knew.

These days, the Stone Demon is by no means unconcerned. He may even have been suspicious for a long time. He is always on the verge of exploding. All he needs to ignite her is a trigger.

Tie Luo couldn't help but look at his old friend.

Wondering how he would answer.

Whether he can appease the queen may depend on his words...

Bayan paused: "I don't know."

In an instant, Tie Luo felt that his heart had stopped——

In other words, the entire space was stagnant.

Then, a mountain-like momentum pressed down from the sky, as if it was going to crush everyone here, as if it were real.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" came a cold voice.

The stone demon just stood there, her tone was calm, but in her ears, it was more frightening than the roar.

And her eyes were fixed on the hornless man who said this answer.

This means that he admitted it.

Seto didn't disappear from everyone's sight because of her concentration on cultivation, her withdrawn personality, or some other reason... but she was not in Admark at all.

The key thing is——

Bayan actually said he didn't know?

Tie Luo subconsciously wanted to hold the segmented ax on his back.

Because he had no doubt that the stone demon could break Bayan's spine at any time, and he would not let himself go again and watch his old friend die in front of him, just like before.

However, his movements paused again.

Because, asking him to draw a weapon against the stone demon... is also unimaginable, not to mention that it may not work at all.

Surprisingly, even Tie Luo, a member of the Five, felt that the pressure was too much to bear. Bayan, who was in the center of the storm, seemed not to notice at all, ignoring the anger that might be vented on him at any time.

The chief advisor just pushed away his seat and stood up with a mountain of momentum.

Again he answered firmly: "Yeah, I don't know."

What surprised Tie Luo even more was that this time, the stone demon also calmed down, like a ferocious beast retracting its fangs.

She said: "You didn't arrange it."

"You know me," Bayan said, "I will not use her as a pawn."

Tie Luo was stunned.

Listening to the meaning of this, the reason why the stone demon was angry was not that Bayan lost the little princess, but more because he suspected that the other party had hidden it from him and turned her into a bargaining chip without authorization, and sent her out to perform some mission.

This is...feeling betrayal.

"Sometimes, I feel that I don't understand you that well." The Stone Demon's tone did not soften, "Then, why didn't Seto—"

"She ran away on her own," Bayan said.

Stone Demon: "..."

Tie Luo felt that he had an illusion.

Because when he saw this moment, Her Majesty's face seemed to twitch.

"Run away?" The stone demon couldn't help but said, grabbing Bayan's seat and sitting on it, holding his forehead, "Running away from home, right? I didn't expect such a thing to happen to me..."

"After all, she is your daughter," Bayan said, "Back then..."

"I was going to join the army! And before I left, I was already a famous soldier from all over the country." The Queen slapped the table, "How can it be compared with that little guy?"

Bayan: "But I didn't tell my family anyway."

Stone Demon: "..."

The monarch and his ministers just looked at each other wordlessly across the air.

"Sometimes, I wish she wouldn't be so like me - at least not in a place like this." Finally, the Stone Demon gave in, and she sighed, "You are still in the mood to say this to me, which shows that you care about her. You don’t know anything about his whereabouts, do you? If Seto really had no chance of surviving, you wouldn’t dare to be so stubborn.”

She does know Bayan well.

How could a person who refused to give in despite being tortured by having his horns cut off and his scales peeled off in front of Shagar, how could he be intimidated by just a few words?

And the reason why he can do this.

Simply because he believed that he had the truth, not Shagar's - this attitude remained consistent.

Only at this moment did the Stone Demon feel relieved.

Because the other party did not betray her, and judging from Bayan's behavior, although he concealed the news, he must have made more investigations and preparations behind the scenes - in the entire Shaq Kingdom, no one is more suitable to do this than him things.

Tie Luo looked at the two of them blankly.

The five people were a little confused as to why the Queen, who had just shown the attitude of launching an army to punish her, suddenly softened - just because of Bayan's few words.

Moreover, he said that he deserved to be beaten.

If it were him, he would have to go up and beat him up.

He hid behind the stone demon's chair, out of sight of the queen, and secretly gave a thumbs up to his old friend.

Bayan glared at him.

What these five people don't know is that Bayan also knows the stone demon's understanding of him, and he also knows that this queen...or mother, what she needs most at this moment is not flattery and apology, but your commitment and confidence to solve the problem. .

He took a deep breath and told the whole story.

But...it's not like what the Stone Demon looks like on the surface.

The chief consultant was actually beating a drum in his heart - because the place where Seto went was the swamp, and there was no accurate information reported yet.

And the swamp...

‘Lu Beiyou,’ Bayan cursed in his heart, ‘you’d better really do something for me. ’

otherwise……

Everyone can finish the ball together.
