Chapter 2769: The Decorum of a High-Ranking Family

As the Scrying perspective zoomed in, the scene within the Emerald Star Courtyard appeared bit by bit in the Fanxing Shengdian in the form of a Magic Image; in the frame, squads of gold-armored guards were moving back and forth, searching the Emerald Star Courtyard.

Perhaps having heard the Indication from Crown King Helien, one of the gold-armored guard commanders immediately separated from his subordinates, and at this moment, the Detection Field followed behind this commander, moving through the Emerald Star Courtyard.

During the process of movement, it further demonstrated the fact that the Cui Xing Family had been controlled.

Soon, the image followed that commander to the side of a small palace, where gold-armored guards were also present, but they were not searching; they were standing guard.

The gold-armored commander, serving as the focus of the Scrying, negotiated with the gold-armored guards guarding outside this small palace, and only after receiving permission did he enter.

The interior of the palace was an exhibition hall, but at this time, the original exhibits were nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only individual small spaces separated by Magic.

And at the entrance of one of these small spaces, Crown King Consultant Yisita stood prominently.

"Greetings to the Crown King and the various Elders of the Council."

Yisita bowed slightly toward the Detection Field in mid-air, then introduced: "Most members of the Cui Xing Family have been brought under control. Due to the gravity of the matter, on-site interrogations have been arranged; this is one of the interrogation locations."

"Among the Cui Xing Family members currently being interrogated, several core members have already confessed to having ties with the Demon Descendants. If any of you have a need, you may view it in real-time."

The Projection that Yierlan created now was not for the sake of Scrying alone; it was more to facilitate communication between the two places. Yierlan could actually also see the scene inside the Fanxing Shengdian with the help of the Detection Field.

Just as Yisita finished speaking, before Yierlan or anyone else could say anything, Laisita could not help but sneer, "Isn't fabricating charges what you are best at? Haven't you done enough of that in the past? What can this prove?"

But Helien remained unsatisfied and continued to shout: "Show your grandfather your Demon Form, let him have a good trip down memory lane!"

Judging from this action of Laisita, his defection to the Demon Descendant camp was not necessarily voluntary.

It was just that the reputation of a high-ranking family would be hard to preserve.

And at this time, Helien seemed to communicate with someone, then suddenly walked to the entrance of another partitioned space, condensed the Detection Field extended over from the Fanxing Shengdian into a Magic Mark and pressed it onto the back of his hand, then walked into the partitioned space.

It was all for the sake of this family!

No matter how much Laisita could endure, he could not accept Helien repeatedly humiliating his grandson. This was effectively humiliating the Cui Xing Family. Why did he do so much? Could it be for himself?

Even Xia Shao was no exception.

But Xia Shao's understanding of the matter was not much, perhaps not even as detailed as Ambassador Fema'ai. After all, the other party was an ambassador, and when such a thing happened, Gedusi had an obligation to explain it to foreign ambassadors.

At this time, there were already Elves in the Fanxing Shengdian who recognized the identity of the Elf in the projected image: "It is Laisita's most beloved grandson, Naipisi!"

At the beginning, Naipisi had no reaction, but after a while, he seemed to go mad, crawling in circles within a tiny area on the ground, while crawling, he cursed crazily:

……

Hearing Laisita's sneer at this moment, Helien did not have any displeased expression; instead, he smiled and said: "Charges can be fabricated, but can bloodlines be transplanted out of thin air?"

"Laisita, seeing Naipisi in such a situation, do you have even a shred of regret?" The smile on Helien's face grew even wider, and he even began to tease Laisita.

"The betrayal you think of, in my eyes, how is it not an attempt at salvation! You have indeed won now, but in the future, you will definitely regret today's decision!"

The same question was asked again. Laisita was no longer the victim-like figure from the beginning. His eyes were red—literally, his eyes had turned red, revealing the most obvious Demon traits.

But his words could not stop Helien. It was only when Crown King Yierlan spoke personally that Helien restrained himself somewhat, allowing the Detection Field to temporarily focus elsewhere.

The interests of high-ranking families are widely intertwined. Although Laisita had already prepared for the worst, he believed that even if he confessed to the betrayal himself, there would be Council Elders willing to protect him.

"You old bastard, you killed me! I didn't want to transform into a Demon Descendant, you forced me! We were already a high-ranking family, living well, why did you have to go and be a dog for the Demon Descendants! Now it's good, it's all over, it's all over!"

Once these words were out, Laisita immediately fell silent again. How much time had passed since he attended the banquet? If Demon Bloodlines were so easy to transplant, those Demon Descendants would not be hiding in the shadows like rats.

Perhaps hearing the inner thoughts of the people in the Fanxing Shengdian, Helien shouted to Naipisi in the center of the interrogation room, "Naipisi, your grandfather is watching you! Tell us your thoughts!"

Next, Crown King Yierlan did not intend to publicly try Laisita in front of a group of foreign guests. With the fact that the other party had already transformed into a Demon Descendant confirmed, the follow-up was entirely an internal affair of Yierlan.

And when Laisita heard this, his complexion became even gloomier, and he remained even more speechless. By this time, even the slowest person could see that Laisita had a problem, but what exactly was the problem, and was it as the Crown King said, that he had defected to the Demon Descendant camp—

"Laisita, do you have anything else to say?"

"Enough!"

Under normal circumstances, the Detection Field is one-way, but if one has enough understanding of this Spell, it is actually possible to look back the other way.

Although he did not send any Sending to others, he could not stop others from sending them to ask him. Badijiaer had sent a Sending more than once to ask for details, clearly unable to get further news from Ambassador Fema'ai or Gedusi.

Of course, there were more obvious ones, such as Demon Wings, Demon Horns, etc., but those did not quite fit the Elven aesthetic; only those blood-red glowing Demon Eyes could be barely accepted.

Not to mention that he had long anticipated that today might come and had already prepared multiple contingency plans, just waiting for the right time to trigger them. If nothing went wrong, he could at least let the family continue.

The next moment, the image distorted, and when it recovered, it was already in a pure white interrogation room. The ground was covered with complex Magic patterns, and in the center was an Elf with disheveled hair, occasionally revealing a trace of unyielding spirit, but immediately turning into a cowering appearance again.

"Why betray the race?" Yierlan asked in a deep voice.

"Yierlan, you won, I have nothing to say!"

And as for Xia Shao, he was just a guest. Even if he had participated in the Metier Incident before, this banquet was the complete end of that incident.

After all, the Cui Xing Family was a high-ranking family of Gedusi. Although they had now become traitors, if they were humiliated repeatedly, it would inevitably make other high-ranking families feel a sense of shared grief, which was not conducive to internal unity.

The banquet continued, but after experiencing what just happened, the Elves who were truly indulging in pleasure were in the minority. For a time, the Magic Net within the Fanxing Shengdian fluctuated frequently, and all kinds of top-secret news were either being sent out or coming in.
