There was no wind in the room, and the heat from the charcoal fire enveloped Yan Huaiqing as if solidified, causing fine beads of sweat to form on his forehead before he knew it.
His eyes widened, and the sound of his rapid breathing could be clearly heard in everyone's ears, with strong fear in it.
There is no doubt that what Wei Changtian just said was too heart-wrenching.
Not only did he completely push Yan Huanwen and Yan Huaiqing to the opposite side, but he also took the initiative in the peace talks in one fell swoop.
Even if I kill you and cooperate with your father, I can still achieve my goal.
So you are basically dispensable in my eyes.
In the sudden change, Yan Huaiqing had no time to think too much and believed Wei Changtian's words almost subconsciously.
As for whether this matter is true or false...
Obviously, this is of course false.
Although Wei Changtian had not talked to Yan Huanwen, Wei Zhaohai had put forward similar conditions to the latter.
Yan Huanwen refused without even thinking about it.
The reason may be that he did not expect Yan Huaiqing to be so heartless and even thought of saving him.
It is also possible that he hates Wei Changtian too much and is risking his own death to make Wei Changtian pay the price.
Or some other reasons.
In short, Yan Huanwen never reached any deal with Wei Changtian.
Therefore, what Wei Changtian just said was actually a complete lie.
But it is a lie that sounds completely reasonable.
With Yan Huaiqing's mind, he should have doubts about this after he regained his composure.
He didn't even have to guess at all. He only needed to ask Tang Chen to use his mind-reading skill again to discover the truth.
It's a pity that since Wei Changtian has already achieved this step, he will definitely not give Tang Chen a third chance to read his mind.
And he wanted to use this to add fuel to the fire and directly defeat Yan Huaiqing's psychological defense.
"Your Highness, why are you silent? Do you regret coming to this Zishan Palace?"
"Do you think that if there were no peace talks today, everything would be fine?"
Without pausing for too long, Wei Changtian quickly looked at Yan Huaiqing who was sweating coldly and said lightly:
"Then I can only tell you with regret that no matter whether there is peace negotiation or not, no matter what you do, I can kill you anytime I want."
"You should know a lot about me. You've heard that I can kill two people with one move."
"But to be honest, I have far more means than you think."
"In my eyes, you are just an ant that can be easily crushed to death."
"So, do you know how I felt when I saw you smug and complacent just now..."
Wei Changtian shook his head and sneered in Yan Huaiqing's frightened and angry eyes:
"hehe."
"It's really pitiful and ridiculous."
"..."
It's both pitiful and ridiculous.
Wei Changtian's six words only express one meaning, which is top-down overlooking and teasing.
Poor because you are weak.
It's ridiculous because you are weak and don't realize it.
These two words and their meaning were undoubtedly a great insult to Yan Huaiqing, who was the prince of a country, and made his face turn red in an instant.
He stood up suddenly, his tightly clenched fists trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with unbearable anger like blazing flames.
However, Wei Changtian still sat calmly on the chair and reached out to pick up the tea cup that Li Zimu had just put down.
"Your Highness, I know you have prepared a lot for today's peace talks and thought you could take advantage of me."
"But now that everything has become in vain, naturally I feel more unwilling."
"But in my opinion, what you did is really too childish..."
Having said this, Wei Changtian turned his head and glanced at Tang Chen, who had a heavy expression on his face.
"Having found such a person, do you think you have a chance to win?"
"Yes, this person does have some use in dealing with those elites in the army."
"But in front of me, he is just an ant like you."
"What? You don't believe it?"
Lowering his eyes, Wei Changtian no longer looked at the trembling Yan Huaiqing.
He just raised the tea cup to his mouth and said calmly:
"Your Highness, don't you firmly believe in Mr. Tang's words?"
"Then let him tell you himself..."
"..."
Amid everyone's looks of astonishment, doubt, fear, confusion, etc., which were all different but extremely complicated, Wei Changtian lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
The moment the tea entered the room, Tang Chen on the opposite side suddenly widened his eyes with split canthus, as if he had seen some ferocious ghost, and his hands instantly trembled violently.
He opened his mouth wide, but no sound came out of his throat. His body instinctively wanted to retreat, but he forgot that he was still sitting on the chair.
"Pop! Praise!!"
"Plop!"
The wooden chair overturned, the tea table was overturned, and the tea cup was shattered on the floor.
Tang Chen fell to the ground in embarrassment, and no longer looked as calm as before.
He didn't even bother to wipe a few drops of tea from his face, he just looked at Wei Changtian blankly, his eyes full of panic.
Golden-scaled dragon, red flying fish, eagle-winged black panther, red-capped white goose...
Four huge and terrifying alien beasts crowded in the air, baring their teeth and claws, neighing and roaring at him like eagles and tigers.
The deafening roar of the beast hit his eardrums, and the invisible waves in the air made it difficult for Tang Chen to breathe.
The tapir leopard originally lying at his feet had already fled back into his Dantian, and all irrelevant scenes gradually disappeared from his field of vision.
At this moment, Tang Chen could only see Wei Changtian, who was drinking tea with his head down, and the four ferocious beasts writhing behind him.
All thoughts have come to a standstill.
Under the violent visual impact, Tang Chen just kept trembling and repeating the same sentence completely out of instinct.
"No, it's impossible..."
"This, this is impossible..."
"..."
...
Dead silence.
In the entire room, except for Tang Chen's extremely frightened voice, there was no movement.
For those who couldn't see the beast of luck, they certainly didn't know what "impossible" in Tang Chen's words meant.
But judging from Tang Chen's current appearance, anyone could understand that he had been frightened out of his wits by Wei Changtian using unknown means.
However, no one could see or hear anything.
From their perspective, Wei Changtian was just sitting there drinking tea...
This perfectly normal scene did not make them feel relaxed, but instead filled their hearts with a layer of fear stemming from the unknown.
"Wei, Mr. Wei..."
His face turned from red to pale in an instant, and Yan Huaiqing no longer doubted anything Wei Changtian had just said.
He didn't even dare to look at Tang Chen who was still in a state of despair.
"Snapped."
On the other side, Wei Changtian glanced at him, gently put down the tea cup, and reached out to touch the empty tea table next to Li Zimu.
Yan Huaiqing was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then he understood something.
He hurriedly ran to the side to find a new tea cup, poured a cup of tea with some trembling, and then walked to Li Zimu.
"Li, Miss Li..."
"Zhao, please forgive me for not taking good care of you..."
