But just as Han Qianqian was about to move, a flame suddenly came barreling down on him.
Han Qianqian reacted promptly and dodged quickly, so that the flame just happened to pa*s by him.
When he looked back, a figure was already standing in front of Han Qianqian.
It was the Ant Queen.
“How dare you enter the forbidden land of the City of Earth and Fire, you deserve to die.” The Ant Queen shouted angrily.
Han Qianqian smiled faintly and did not retort: “I have come here on someone’s behalf, so if I have offended you more than once, please calm your anger, Ant Queen.”
“I have treated you well, but you have returned the favour by trespa*sing on the forbidden land of our city. She said in a cold voice.
“I don’t think so, do I?” Han Qianqian smiled, “The Queen Ant is only pretending to be superficial and then coaxing us to leave.”
“Only, you never thought that we didn’t fall for it.”
“You!” The Ant Queen was furious and took a slight breath as she looked at Han Qianqian: “How did you find this place?”
“Didn’t the Ant Queen bring me here?” Han Qianqian said.
“You followed me?” She frowned and shook her head, “That’s impossible, you were clearly at the altar, if you had come out privately, there’s no way my men wouldn’t have known about it.”
“Just a slight trick.” Han Qianqian laughed.
“You’re really cunning.”
“I can’t say I’m cunning, but if I’m not clever, I’ll be fooled by you.”
“When did you notice that I was lying to you?” She asked.
“From the time you said, “If I don’t believe you, feel free to ask any citizen in the city.” Han Qianqian said.
She was puzzled: “What’s wrong with that?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it, but you’re giving me a gut feeling that’s too confident, and sometimes too much confidence always makes people feel that something is wrong. The City of Earthfire is so large, there are naturally an unknown number of people, how can you be sure that every one of them will deny that there is any swampy land here?”
“Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are naturally all kinds of rumours.”
“What if, just in case, there are similar rumours in the city?” Han Qianqian smiled gently as he spoke, “But the Ant Queen is at ease with letting me ask as many questions as I want. This would suggest that the Ant Queen should be very confident in all the city’s citizens.”
“In other words, why can you be so confident? There can only be one explanation, and that is that the entire city’s people have long been gagged by you, am I right?”
Hearing these words, the Ant Queen was clearly stunned while her eyes were fiercely shrinking.
She really didn’t expect that Han Qianqian had actually guessed the real truth behind this, and that her guess was actually based on a casual remark that she didn’t care about.
No matter how one looked at it, there didn’t seem to be any major problems with it, but it was still possible to be interpreted by Han Qianqian.
Based on this alone, she couldn’t help but admire Han Qianqian’s high intelligence and careful observation.
She suddenly smiled, “To be able to read so much into a single sentence that doesn’t really matter, it doesn’t seem impossible for you to be able to follow me silently.”
“The matter of the central statue was also your doing, right?”
Han Qianqian nodded, “But I used a little carving technique to deliberately lure you in.”
“Although I attacked the central statue, I did so with very little force, so on the surface it looked as if my target was there, but in reality you could guess with a little careful thought that my real aim was not there. So, at that point you would have suspected that I was using a diversionary tactic, and naturally you would have been very uneasy about the place where I had actually put something, and would have always wanted to come and have a look.”
“Plus what would you have done when you came to the altar to confirm that we were still inside and were rea*sured that you could go and see your things when you had the previous concerns?”
The rice ball probes the book
The Queen Ant’s teeth clenched, “You really do have a lot of organs, one has to admire that. However, sometimes these actions don’t mean good things.”
“Oh?” Han Qianqian asked with a question of confusion.
She smiled coldly, “Because it could have brought you death.”
“Originally, you could have left here safely, but once you enter the forbidden land, there is only one ending, and that side is death. Only the dead will keep their secrets.”
With those words, she laughed eerily ……
