Feng Kai and the others felt like her guess was too far off.
However, they couldnt think of an alternative reason either.
"Then whats causing those people to go crazy when theyre on stage?" Little Seven asked.
"Im guessing that it should be because the stage releases some kind of gas. That gas gets absorbed into the bloodstream, causing them to go crazy." Sima You Yue said.
"I think the same way." Bi Sheng said, "Actually, everyone understands this. However, many enjoy things this way and feel it to be more exciting. Thats why nobody minds."
Sima You Yue nodded. This was easy to guess. Its not like those people were idiots. They would definitely figure this out.
"However, it causes harm for both sides like you saw that day. If they still retained a bit of their senses, they probably wouldnt have ended up in that state." Little Seven said.
"Thats true."
"Boss, why do you think the City Lord gifted you that bag of tea leaves?" Feng Kai asked.
"Im guessing that hes hinting something. However, I just dont understand. I cant figure out what hes hinting." Sima You Yue said with a shake of her head.
"Blood Demon Tree, smell of blood, flesh, red moon"
"Could it be" Shi Chen was terrified by his own thoughts and couldnt even speak of it.
"Big Brother Shi Chen, did you think of something?" Little Seven looked at him, curiosity piqued.
Shi Chen breathed out deeply before saying his guess, "Could it be that everything is a result of that Blood Demon Tree?"
"Blood Demon Tree?"
"Yes. The Blood Demon Tree absorbs the flesh, which is why its leaves have the smell of blood. Also, that blood arena absorbs the flesh, which means that the tree is the arena!" Shi Chen became more convicted of his idea the more he spoke.
"Then why could the City Lord want You Yue to notice the Blood Demon Tree?" Little Seven didnt understand. "If the Blood Demon Tree wants to eat someone, wouldnt what he did reveal the secret of the Blood Demon Tree?"
After she said this, it didnt seem to be the case anymore.
"You Yue, when he saw you, did the City Lord tell you what his name was?" Bi Sheng asked.
"He asked me to call him Li Hong." Sima You Yue replied, "Now that you mention it, when he told me his name, he placed emphasis on the Hong part of his name. As if he was trying to place focus on it."
"Li Hong, Li Hong." Bi Sheng chewed it over before his eyes suddenly shone, saying, "I remember hearing someone mention before that the City Lord was called Li Zhi!
"When was that?"
"Many years ago, when I was checking up on the City Lords residence in the middle of the night, I saw a man clothed in black outside it. He was heavily injured and when he saw me, he said two words, Li Zhi then, he died." Bi Sheng said, "At that time, they were only two words, so I never linked it with the City Lords name. Thinking of it now, he should have been talking about Li Zhi."
Sima You Yue siad, "Has nobody noticed his name before?"
"In Blood Fiend City, nobody knows the City Lords name. Everyone only knows that his surname is Li, but nobody has ever asked for his full name. As such, when they meet him, they only address him as City Lord Li." Shi Chen said, "Also, the City Lord is very secretive. Very few have met him."
"Thats right." Feng Zhi said, "The previous City Lords were also very secretive. Since this one is the same, nobody felt anything strange about it."
"Li Zhi, Li Hong." Sima You Yue said, "Im thinking that the words that man died to reveal should not be false. However, the one I met should be true as well."
"How can that one person have two names?" Little Seven was dumbfounded.
"Im guessing that its possible that City Lord Lis body houses two souls." Sima You Yue said.
"Two souls?"
