Hearing Zhang Guangmu's words, Lin Yan sneered. He didn't want to believe it at all and just thought this guy was talking nonsense.

Just a little observation of scuffs and scratches and two more attempts to deduce the correct password?

It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

Ridiculous!

No one with a sane mind would believe his nonsense!

Lin Yan said angrily, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. Why do you need to humiliate me like this?"

On the one hand, this reaction was because he felt that Zhang Guangmu was teasing him, and on the other hand, he felt that he had revealed a lot of his thoughts to the young man in front of him, and felt that there were no secrets left in front of him.

"If you think it's humiliating, then so be it." Zhang Guangmu shrugged, noncommittal.

Hearing this, Lin Yan subconsciously looked at Zhang Guangmu's hands.

After a while, he thought of something he had ignored before, so his pupils dilated slightly, the hairs all over his body suddenly stood up, and he broke into a cold sweat.

Zhang Guangmu had said before that these artifacts that seemed to contain the power of fire were made by him...

If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

After all, if there really was such an artifact in history that could give humans the power to fight the Flame Wolf, it would never remain unknown!

No matter how unremarkable the artifact may be, it is impossible for such an artifact to be omitted from the history books!

so……

There is no traitor to betray him. The young man in front of him relied on his own wisdom to create the fire artifact and crack the code!

"The so-called 'light of heaven' is the 'light of natural wisdom'!"

Lin Yan was lying against the wall, looking at the slightly pale but condescending young man, with a bitter mouth: "He lives up to his name..."

"He lives up to his name!"

At first, he only focused on Lin Xuan, who controlled the alien Flame Wolf King, and never noticed the unknown young assassin who emerged from the water prison trial.

Even if this young man had a small upper hand in the fight with Lin Xuan and even gave himself a name, he would just laugh it off as a joke after dinner.

After all, Lin Xuan is his seventh son and may threaten his status and rule.

Now……

The young assassin with a still immature face has quietly grown up without knowing when.

After creating the era-changing "fire artifact", he has been able to overlook himself from a higher position...

When he thought of this, Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, he gritted his teeth, stood up with force, and said in a deep voice: "You were originally an orphan, but you are alive today because of my favor!"

"Later, you passed the water prison trial and were promoted to Wolf Controller, and then you were qualified to talk to me!"

"It can be said that everything you have now is given by me!"

"I gave you glory and wealth!"

"I gave you a superior status!"

"I have made you successful!"

"If you want to kill me, you will have to bear the reputation of being 'ungrateful'."

"Can you afford such a reputation?"

The ruthless words were spoken loudly and every word was sonorous and powerful, but Lin Yan's body hunched over unconsciously.

He lowered his head slightly, maintaining a posture that looked slightly shorter than Zhang Guangmu.

Perhaps, even Lin Yan himself did not realize that this was actually a kind of self-compromise.

"Ungrateful? That goes too far."

Zhang Guangmu pursed his lips and chuckled: "All the orphans adopted by Yanlang Castle are poor people who lost their parents in the war."

"As time goes by, people will forget who their parents were and what contributions they made."

"But……"

“The passing geese leave a sound, and the passing people leave their traces.”

"As long as you are willing to search hard and spend more time, you can still find some clues."

Speaking of this, Zhang Guangmu's tone gradually became colder.

His eyes also became sinister, and his words were full of resentment: "Dear Lord Lin Yan, do you know who my parents are?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yan felt that his mind went blank.

Thump! Thump!

Thump! Thump!

Lin Yan's heart was beating wildly, his breathing became rapid, and cold sweat slid down his face.

Theoretically speaking, orphans who can participate in the water prison trial to test their willpower have been repeatedly checked to ensure their innocence.

But the problem is...

There are always various "what ifs" in the world!

Isn't this young man in front of me the best example?

If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, who would have believed that the pair of fire artifacts were forged by a young man who looked thin and frail?

There is nothing wrong with Yanlang Castle’s system!

However, no matter how excellent the operating mechanism is, it must rely on human beings to exist!

In Lin Yan's mind, people's hearts are complex and changeable, and they are the most unreliable things in the world!

Even a person who was once loyal and trustworthy will lose his original intention and forget his loyalty as time goes by and his status and wealth change.

Among the Yanlang Guards who are responsible for the water prison trial, there may be a black sheep who neglects his duties, eats nothing, and has a heart of compassion!

The moment he heard Zhang Guangmu's words, Lin Yan's mind flashed to countless young couples who died miserably in the power struggle in Yanlang Castle.

The names and faces of those people emerged one by one before his eyes.

Lord Yanlang Castle subconsciously clenched his long sleeves.

He shrank, not daring to look at Zhang Guangmu's face, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that your parents... are Leng Feng and Jin Xi?"

Before Zhang Guangmu could respond, he asked himself and answered: "Yes... it must be so!"

"From your appearance, you can vaguely see some of their shadows!"

"I think back then, Leng Feng and Jin Xi were the famous golden boys and girls in Yanlang Castle, and they were excellent wolf masters."

"Before they got married, each had many admirers..."

At this point, Lin Yan couldn't speak any more, and the beautiful beard on his chin trembled slightly.

Because both Leng Feng and Jin Xi were killed by him.

No matter what difficulties, reasons and excuses he has, they are meaningless to the parties concerned.

If Zhang Guangmu is really the child of those two people, then Zhang Guangmu would be naturally just in killing him!

Lin Yan closed his eyes in pain and waited quietly for death.

The hatred of killing father and mother is irreconcilable!

With such a blood feud in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, Zhang Guangmu had no reason to forgive him!

But……

After waiting for a long time, Lin Yan did not wait for pain and death.

In a daze, he seemed to hear the voice of the young assassin "Tianguang".

"I lied to you."

Lin Yan opened his eyes suddenly, his expression dull.

Zhang Guangmu tilted his head and said seriously: "The things I just mentioned about my life experience and hatred are all made up randomly."

"You are a person who has done too many bad things, and you can easily find a pair of misfortunes to take your place."

Having said this, Zhang Guangmu rubbed his chin and said jokingly: "As for Leng Feng and Jin Xi you mentioned, well..."

"Good-looking people always have some similarities in appearance."

"You don't need to explain this, I understand."

Having said this, Zhang Guangmu paused and said with a playful smile: "You don't believe me when I tell the truth."

"When I lied, you were willing to believe me."

"It feels like even without me, you won't be able to take the position of Lord of the Castle for a long time..."

It seemed like it was just a teasing remark, but it made the little white dumplings who followed him to the darkroom join in crazy agreement.

"That's true! Even without you, the plot protagonist Lin Xuan has already started killing brothers and plotting to become the master of the castle."
To be continued...
