"Oh! That's right, there is a defense system in the palace that can mask the energy fluctuations of the crystal stone, which was triggered when you scan! The patriarch explained.

"Oh, I see!" Shangguan Yuyan nodded.

"Patriarch, can you take us to see the crystal stone?" Li Na asked.

Li Na was very curious about the crystal stone and wanted to see what the space stone looked like.

"Uh..."

The patriarch squeaked, then looked at an elder dressed in black next to him.

Seeing this, the elder in black hurriedly said, "Oh, that crystal stone is dormant now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see it for a while!" ”

"It's okay to be dormant, we're just..." Before Li Na could finish speaking, Shangguan Yuyan interrupted: "Oh! Since it's dormant, forget it, wait until you have a chance to watch! ”

"Huh! Good, good. The patriarch smiled faintly and said.

"You have come from afar, and you are friends of the little master, we deserve to be hospitable!" The black-clad elder said.

"Huh! Elders don't have to be so polite! Shangguan Yuyan smiled.

"Haha! You're welcome, you're welcome, that's what we should do! The black-clothed elder laughed.

After chatting for a while, they came to the banquet hall. It's brightly lit and looks magnificent.

In the middle of the banquet hall was a rectangular dining table, with the patriarch sitting in the front and the black-clothed elder sitting to his left.

After a while, a dozen beautiful women walked in from outside the banquet hall, each holding a container in their hands.

They set the container on the table, then opened the lid of the container, saluted respectfully, and left the banquet hall.

The moment the lid was opened, an enticing fragrance came to their nostrils, causing Shangguan Yuyan and their saliva to run down.

The food on the table is beautiful and fragrant, and it feels delicious at first glance.

At this moment, Li Na has been deeply attracted by those delicacies. If it weren't for the strangers around, she would definitely eat regardless of her image.

"Three beauties, please dine!" The old man in black greeted Shangguan Swift very politely.

"Oh, let's use it together!" Shangguan Yuyan also said very politely.

After tossing for so long, the three beauties were already hungry. Now that she can finally start eating, Li Na immediately picked up the tableware, sandwiched a few delicacies that looked pleasing to the eye, and ate them.

Seeing that everyone had started to eat, Shangguan Yuyan and Yinyue also put a little bit on their plates, and then savored it.

Li Na is also a snack, and she was hungry again, and she ate a little disregarding her image.

Seeing this, Shangguan Yuyan kept giving her a look, but Li Na didn't even look at her, which made Shangguan Yuyan angry.

Shangguan Yuyan deliberately coughed dryly, and then said, "This dish tastes really good, we really want to thank the elders for their hospitality!" ”

"Huh! If you like it! The black-clothed elder smiled.

"Li Na, are you right?"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

Li Na glanced up at Shangguan Yuyan and saw that she was sitting there winking at herself.

Then she looked at Yinyue again and found that she, like Shangguan Swift, hadn't eaten much. Li Na felt that something was wrong, so she stopped eating and drinking, but casually found a topic and talked nonsense with a few elders.

"Huh! Two, is the dish unappetizing? Seeing that Shangguan Yuyan and Yinyue hadn't eaten much, the black-clothed elder asked with a smile.

"Oh! No, the main thing is that we are not too hungry! Shangguan Yuyan explained.

After the meal, Shangguan Yuyan and the three were taken to rest. The room was specially prepared for the three of them, and it was beautifully decorated with many exotic flowers and plants.

"A few beauties have a good rest, please call me if you need anything!" A maid was very respectful and authentic.

After the maid left, Li Na immediately closed the door, and then came to Shangguan Yuyan and asked in a low voice, "Yuyan, what happened?" ”

Shangguan Yuyan didn't answer Li Na directly, but tried to activate the battle armor. It turned out to be okay, and the Warframe could be used here.

Shangguan Yuyan turned on the anti-scanning system to prevent people from eavesdropping. Then she used the armor's scanning system to give Li Na a full body examination.

The results of the inspection showed that there was no poison in the food, which made Shangguan Yuyan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with that black-clothed elder?" Shangguan Yuyan asked very seriously.

Hearing Shangguan Yuyan's words, Li Na carefully recalled what had happened before, and felt as if something was wrong.

The black-clothed elder was a little too enthusiastic, and the conversation between the two sides was basically what he was talking about, as if he were the patriarch.

And the real patriarch didn't say a word for a long time. When Li Na said that she wanted to go to see the crystal stone, he squeaked and didn't answer, but looked at the black-clothed elder as if he was afraid of something.

"When you say that, how do I feel that the patriarch seems to be a little afraid of that black-clothed elder!" Li Na said.

"Yes, I think so too!" Shangguan Yuyan nodded.

"I think there's something wrong with the identity of that black-clothed elder, he may not be from the Water Tribe!" Yinyue said.

"It's not the Water Tribe, it's the overlord force!" Li Na said in surprise.

"It's not necessarily a hegemonic force, it may be a vassal state of the hegemonic force." Yinyue said.

"Anyway, we must find out the identity of the black-clothed elder. I suspect that the patriarch and his people may have been controlled. Shangguan Yuyan said.

"Then, the crystal stone is not in danger!" Li Na exclaimed.

"The crystal stone will be fine, they shouldn't have succeeded yet, otherwise they would have killed us a long time ago." Shangguan Yuyan said.

"Miss Swift is right, they may want to use us to open the crystal stone and get the technology in it!" Yinyue said.

"! This group of people is so insidious that we almost fell for it! Li Na said angrily.

When he first saw the Shui Clan Patriarch, he didn't see the black-clothed elder, and he only appeared when he interrogated Shangguan Yuyan and the others.

Knowing that Shangguan Yuyan and the others were friends of the owner of the crystal stone, the patriarch and several other elders were very excited, which showed that they were true guardians.

Then he contacted Tis again, and Tis greeted the water tribe patriarch when he saw it, which showed that they had known each other for a long time, which further proved that the identity of the water tribe patriarch was true.

According to normal logic, the guardian of the crystal stone must have wanted to see Lin Yifan very much. And when Li Na said if she wanted Lin Yifan to come, the patriarch hurriedly found a reason to refuse.

From this point of analysis, it shows that the patriarch of the water tribe did not want Lin Yifan to come, he should be afraid that Lin Yifan would be in danger, after all, they didn't know what Lin Yifan's strength was.
