Chapter 316 Fair Competition
Di Lin stood up, dusted off his hands, turned to look at Hui, and said with a hint of mockery, "He looks very weak. I can't even feel any pressure. How could he have such great ability to destroy the Mutian City Building right under our noses?"
Hui's expression remained calm, no different from usual: "Does the Dragon King mean that he doesn't believe me, or he doesn't believe the Beast God?"
He emphasized the words "Beast God" very much.
Di Lin took another drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaling a smoke ring that rose gently into the dimly lit hall.
"Just a casual question." He smirked. "When did Lord Hui become so sensitive?"
When asked this question, Hui's expression became somewhat unnatural, but she quickly regained her composure.
“Your Majesty is overthinking it,” said Hui. “I just think that now that the person has been caught and the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to question it anymore. If you don’t believe me, you can interrogate him yourself.”
“No need for that.” Di Lin waved his hand. “I trust the judgment of the Beast God.”
He looked at the beast god on the throne: "What do you say?"
The Beast God nodded slowly, his voice still deliberate: "The comet has reviewed it; there can be no mistake."
Di Lin simply said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing this, Hui said, "In that case, let's decide how to deal with him. He destroyed the building and killed many innocent orcs, so it wouldn't be too much to execute him."
Di Lin didn't reply, but just slowly smoked.
The hall was quiet for a moment, with only the faint sound of Chen's breathing.
Neither of them spoke first.
After a long pause, Di Lin finally spoke, his tone languid: "Then let Lord Beast God handle it. As you know, I've always been too lazy to get involved in these kinds of things."
The Beast God nodded, seemingly satisfied with Di Lin's attitude.
A barely perceptible smile curved at the corners of Hui's lips.
That's exactly what he was waiting for.
As long as Di Lin doesn't interfere, today's matter can proceed according to his plan.
Hui took a deep breath, turned to face the Beast God, and suddenly knelt down with a "plop".
This move came so suddenly that even Di Lin raised an eyebrow.
"My lord." Hui's voice was choked with emotion, sounding sincere and heartfelt.
“Over the years, you have always said that I am not as good as him, that I am not steady enough, and not magnanimous enough. But you have never taken my efforts and my loyalty to heart.”
He raised his head, his eyes reddening slightly: "I've followed you for over a thousand years, and I've never been disloyal to you. But... but in your heart, I can never compare to that traitor!"
Hui's voice grew louder and more agitated: "Back then, when he betrayed you and joined the Wind Demon King, you only sighed and said, 'This child ultimately took the wrong path.' But what about me? Even if I make the smallest mistake, you reprimand me severely. I refuse to accept this!"
The beast god on the throne remained expressionless, his eyes even seemed unfocused, as if he wasn't listening to Hui at all.
Hui didn't care and continued speaking to herself: "Now you know who is truly loyal to you. That traitor who went back on his word, he's back."
But he didn't come back to apologize; he came back to destroy everything. He destroyed the buildings of Mutian City, killed so many innocent orcs, and even colluded with magical beasts to overthrow your rule!
He grew more and more agitated as he spoke, his voice echoing throughout the hall: "And I! I captured him! I have rid you of this scourge! Do you see clearly now? Who is worthy to be your disciple! Who is worthy to inherit this beastly world!"
Di Lin stood aside, listening quietly.
He appeared somewhat nonchalant, even yawning as if he was getting tired of listening. But in reality, he had taken in every single word Hui said.
These events are similar to the rumored version, but also quite different.
According to legend, the Beast God did indeed have two disciples: one was exceptionally talented but rebellious and eventually went astray; the other was of average talent but diligent and loyal, and always stayed by the Beast God's side.
But the rumors never mentioned that the "mediocre" apprentice harbored so much resentment and bitterness.
Moreover, the Beast God's reaction was also very strange.
Logically speaking, even if one isn't moved by such a tearful accusation from Hui, one should at least have some reaction.
But the one on the throne remained expressionless and seemed distracted throughout.
Di Lin had a guess in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just lit another cigarette and slowly smoked it.
Hui spoke for a long time, until his voice became hoarse.
He knelt there, looking up at the Beast God, his eyes filled with anticipation.
The Beast God finally reacted, waving his hand impatiently to interrupt him.
The Beast God slowly turned his head to look at the Comet and said slowly, "I understand what you mean."
Comet's eyes lit up.
The Beast God continued, "Since you harbor resentment and feel it's unfair, then today I will give you two a fair chance to compete."
Hui paused, a hint of surprise appearing on his face: "My lord, you mean..."
"Just the two of you, one-on-one," the Beast God said, his voice flat. "Show me your strength and let me see if you're qualified to be my disciple."
A look of wild joy instantly appeared on Hui's face.
He kowtowed sharply, his voice trembling with excitement: "Thank you, Lord Beast God!"
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and looked at Chen, who was lying on the ground, his eyes instantly turning cold and cruel.
Di Lin looked at the dying Chen, then at the eager Hui, and couldn't help but sneer: "Fair?"
The two words he uttered were full of sarcasm.
But Hui didn't care about Di Lin's mockery.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: to personally eliminate this eyesore in front of the Beast God.
He walked up to Chen, squatted down, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Did you hear that? The Beast God gave me a chance. Today, I will show him who the real strongman is."
Dust remained lying on the ground, showing no reaction, except that his breathing seemed a little more rapid.
Hui stood up, looked at the Beast God, and said loudly, "My lord, since you have given us a fair chance to compete, I will also make a condition."
Beast God: "Speak."
Hui took a deep breath and said, word by word, "If I win, he will be my slave for life, at my beck and call. If he wins..."
He paused, looked at Chen, his eyes filled with contempt: "I can set him free."
These words sound grand and noble, but in reality, everyone can see that in Chen's current state, how could he possibly win against Hui?
This was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.
The Beast God nodded: "Okay."
Hui smiled, his smile filled with smugness.
