But contrary to what one might expect, this Duan Hen seemed to be awfully convinced by Elder Wen.
Shen Yanxiao couldn’t help but slightly frown. Even Long Fei knew that there was a hidden truth in Duan Wuya’s death; could it be that Duan Hen, as the son of Duan Wuya, really had no clue about this matter? He was already fifteen years old. He was no longer a young and ignorant child. Did he really feel nothing about the fact that he could only become a mere figurehead now that Elder Wen was around?
Shen Yanxiao did not believe that a human who could sign a contract with a Mythological Beast would be that simple. Mythological Beasts had their own standards in choosing their masters. Whether due to intelligence or strength, Mythological Beasts would only surrender to those whom they acknowledged.
If this Duan Hen was truly ignorant, then the Redflame Beast would be unlikely to accompany him.
Shen Yanxiao felt very strange. By this time, Elder Wen had already tampered with the crystal b.a.l.l.s by making an undetectable mark on the blue crystal b.a.l.l.s. No matter what crystal ball Geng Di pick up tomorrow, Duan Hen could choose the crystal ball with the same color by the help of the mark.
“The time is not early anymore, I will go and rest first. You must familiarize yourself with the difference between these crystal b.a.l.l.s.” Elder Wen finished everything and left the storeroom with satisfaction.
There was only Duan Hen left in the huge storeroom.
Under the glare of the crystal ball, Duan Hen’s thin body was unusually bleak, and his still immature face didn’t have any trace of expressions. He carefully touched the crystal b.a.l.l.s one by one. After a moment of familiarity, he ruthlessly grasped the blue crystal ball all of a sudden, and the calmness on his white face faded away and was replaced by a strong hatred.
But that expression of hatred quickly disappeared and Duan Hen returned to his usual self. He put the four crystal b.a.l.l.s back in place and left the storeroom without any expression.
At the moment when the door of the storeroom was closed, Shen Yanxiao dexterously emerged from the darkness. She looked at the closed door and a smirk formed at the corner of her mouth.
Duan Hen was definitely not an idiot.
That flash of hatred was the most authentic portrayal of his heart.
It also seemed that the rift between Duan Hen and Elder Wen was not small.
However, looking at the previous respect he had shown for Elder Wen, one would really not be able to discover anything. If Shen Yanxiao had not witnessed the display of his true feelings at that moment, she feared that it would also be hard for her to find an anomaly.
Patience was also perseverance. This Duan Hen was definitely not a simple character. His current obeisance was only to conceal his strength and bide his time .
He was a smart person.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and looked at the four crystal b.a.l.l.s placed on the table. The trick that Elder Wen did on the crystal ball was not complicated. He only made the texture of the blue crystal ball slightly different using magic. If one simply touched it normally, no one would find out the difference, but if one carefully touched it with their fingertips, one would discover that there were some tiny particles on the blue crystal ball.
If one didn’t know the inside story, one should not be able to notice this difference.
Shen Yanxiao’s mouth evoked a nasty smile. She quickly attached some small particles to the red crystal b.a.l.l.s with her magic force, and then moved her hand to smooth all the particles on the blue crystal b.a.l.l.s.
In the blink of an eye, the changes in the blue crystal b.a.l.l.s and the red crystal b.a.l.l.s had been completely swapped. These crystal b.a.l.l.s would be sealed from now on until tomorrow’s game. Elder Wen could not check it again. Anyway, it was also impossible for him to think that someone else would tamper the crystal b.a.l.l.s again after he left.
“Dare to play shameless with me? I’ll let you see who is more shameless then.” Shen Yanxiao’s eyes flashed a glimmer of light. She placed the four crystal b.a.l.l.s back to the table, after which her figure disappeared from the storeroom.
