Chapter 1100 Alice's plan is exposed
Mavica was very anxious at the moment. Alice mentioned that the Ruler of Life and the Ruler of Time, the two rulers, were going to attack Shao Yun. What should she do if this was true?
Then, Mavica thought: How about using the remaining power of the Death Ruler...
It doesn't matter if I die, the main thing is that I can't let anything happen to the real hero who saved Nata! (Of course, there must be some personal feelings mixed in)
Just as Mavica paced anxiously, her mind full of "how to save Shao Yun", a sentence Alice just said flashed through her mind.
"Miss Ying possesses the power to 'purify' the abyss and is the key to saving Teyvat."
"No!" Mavica's eyes widened slightly, and an overlooked detail suddenly became clear.
"What do you mean by purifying the abyss? Mr. Shao Yun clearly told me that the Wind God kidnapped Ying not to 'purify the abyss', but because the Wind God and the Rock God planned to use Ying as a 'gas filter canister'!"
(Chapter 938, Shao Yun told Mavica about the "gas canister")
"Alice said she was trying to persuade Miss Ying to save the world, but if it's in the name of 'saving the world,' then isn't this just another name for the 'gas canister' plan?"
When I thought of this, a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on my back.
There's a conspiracy here! Alice has been lying from beginning to end!
She was not concerned about Shao Yun's safety at all, but wanted to push Ying into a situation where she would be exploited again in the name of "saving the world".
……
"stop!"
Mavica's cold voice suddenly came from behind Alice, instantly freezing her brisk steps.
Alice slowly turned around, a gentle smile still on her face, and asked calmly, "What's wrong, Miss Mavica? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Although Mavica had noticed something was wrong at this moment, she was still just suspicious and did not have complete evidence.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, she asked indirectly:
"Ms. Alice, if what you said is true and the two rulers want to take action against Shao Yun, why don't you inform Mr. Shao Yun and Miss Ying first, but come to persuade me first? This is unreasonable."
This was the first question she raised after careful consideration.
If the crisis is really imminent, the person who should know the most is Shao Yun himself, not me as an "outsider".
It's so strange that Alice bypassed the person involved and came to find me, right?
When Alice heard this question, she immediately thought of the corresponding explanation and explained in a natural tone:
"Hmm? You're being a bit too polite. I just wanted to test your opinion first!"
"After all, the key to this matter lies with you. If I took it upon myself to reach a consensus with Shao Yun's family and let them prepare for separation, and you were unwilling to cooperate, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
This sounded reasonable, but Mavica shook her head and continued to question:
"No, that doesn't make sense at all. Because you said before, 'Many people in Nata are talking about my relationship with Shao Yun.' Everyone knows that I have feelings for him."
"If that's the case, why bother trying to 'sound me out'? According to what you're saying, I should be eager to seize this opportunity. There's no chance of me being 'unwilling'."
"Your statements are completely contradictory. How do you explain this?"
Alice didn't expect Mavica to be so perceptive and able to instantly catch the loopholes in her words.
Her smile froze for a moment, then quickly adjusted itself, trying to justify it with a more "thoughtful" reason.
"Ah, I'm just trying to confirm this!"
"Matters of the heart are extremely changeable. If you change your mind during this period, wouldn't it cause you trouble?"
"You know, I can't just make a judgment based on rumors. I have to talk to you in person to feel at ease."
As she spoke, she quietly observed Mavica's reaction and prayed in her heart that this reason could fool her temporarily. If Mavica continued to ask, she might not be able to come up with a more perfect excuse.
As Mavica listened to Alice's pale defense, the doubts in her heart grew bigger and bigger like a snowball rolling down the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
Alice's words were full of logical loopholes from beginning to end and could not withstand careful scrutiny.
"I don't understand? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? This is a matter of life and death for three people! How could I treat it as a joke and change my mind so easily?"
"You said before that 'everyone in Nata knows that I have feelings for Shao Yun', and now you say 'I'm afraid I'll change my mind'. Do you think I believe what you said?"
"Besides, I've come to my senses now. I haven't told anyone else that I like Mr. Shao Yun! How did you come to this conclusion from the other Nata people?"
Alice was speechless after being asked this question. She could only grit her teeth and continue to repeat the statement that had long been untenable to cover up her lies.
"I really am doing this for you, Nata, and the Shao Yun family! There's no need for me to lie to you. This kind of thing won't do me any good!"
"No good?" Mavica gritted her teeth.
"No, I feel like the tone you used just now wasn't for my own good at all! Instead, you're using me as a bargaining chip, a pawn to pry open the Shao Yun family!"
"You are trying to use my feelings to achieve your own goals!"
Then, Mavica directly exposed the core conflict.
"The most crucial point of conflict now is, why did you try to persuade me first? Instead of trying to persuade Shao Yun and Ying first?"
"If I really want to share Mr. Shao Yun's love and become his wife as you said, I must first get the recognition of Shao Yun himself and the consent of Miss Ying!"
"Even if I changed my mind, you can still find someone else!"
"But you've got the cart before the horse! You've been trying to get me to take the initiative the whole time. That doesn't make any sense!"
Alice watched Mavica's thoughts become clearer and clearer, and knew that her plan was in jeopardy. She could only make a last-ditch effort and began to explain in a panic.
"I'm going to... prepare you first, and then find the right time to tell them, right?"
"What if Shao Yun's family agrees and you back out? Wouldn't that make things even more difficult?"
"The right time?" Mavica interrupted Alice before she could finish her words. She raised her chin and said provocatively:
"Then do you have the courage to come with me to find Mr. Shao Yun?"
"Just as you said, I agree. I am willing to marry Mr. Shao Yun and live with him and Ying."
"If what you said is true, and the two rulers really want to take action against him, we have plenty of time to persuade Mr. Shao Yun and Miss Ying to accept this matter."
She paused, a mocking arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she added with a deliberately emphasized tone:
"It just so happens that I heard he and Ying will be getting married in a week or two."
"If your plan can really save his life, I can join you. Wouldn't a wedding with three of us be more lively? I'll save you from beating around the bush with me!"
These words directly hit Alice's sore spot.
What she feared most was confronting Shao Yun face to face. Once she met Shao Yun, her lies would be exposed in an instant and all her plans would come to nothing.
"I... I have something else to do..." Alice's voice began to tremble, and she subconsciously took a step back. "Let's wait a little longer to find Shao Yun. Now is not the right time..."
Her reaction completely confirmed Mavica's guess that Alice was lying!
The so-called threats and deals from the two in power were all "fake". She had intended to sow discord between herself and Shao Yun from the very beginning!
"Something? The most important thing now is to verify whether what you said is true!"
"Didn't you say it was for Shao Yun's safety? Why are you afraid to go now? Today, either you come with me to find Shao Yun, or don't even think about leaving this room!"
Alice saw that Mavica firmly asked her to go with him to confront Shao Yun, and she thought it was over, this was completely terrible!
She never thought that Mavica could stay sober in the anxiety of "Shao Yun is in danger". Not only did she not let love cloud her mind, but she also saw through her own lies step by step!
She pretended to be calm and tried to delay time with "courtesy".
"Wedding... This... Mavica, as long as you agree, it means we are heading in the right direction!"
"Let's talk about this in a few days. We'll find time to talk to Shao Yun and Ying. Marriage is a gradual process. It's too unruly to suddenly show up and ask to join their wedding without any proposal or preparation, isn't it?"
This excuse was so pale and far-fetched that even she herself felt guilty.
Previously, they said that "it will be good for everyone to finalize it as soon as possible", but now they are using "rules" as an excuse. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are just procrastinating.
Mavica laughed at Alice's poor acting, with her evasive eyes and flustered tone.
"Stop acting, Ms. Alice."
"You never intended to help Shao Yun from the beginning, and there was no such thing as 'the threat of the two rulers'. You were just using me!
"You're using my feelings for Shao Yun to sow discord between him and me, and to sabotage his wedding with Ying. Am I right?"
Seeing that her plan was completely exposed, Alice simply gave up pretending.
This seemingly straightforward Fire God was much smarter than she had imagined.
"Your sixth sense is indeed very strong, and your observation skills are quite sharp." Alice put away her previous gentleness and said sarcastically:
"I thought you were just a woman who liked to use brute force and pursue the feeling of conquest. I didn't expect you to be so meticulous and actually find loopholes in my words."
Seeing that Alice didn't even bother to act and directly exposed her original purpose, Mavica's face became even colder.
"Brute force alone cannot subdue the tribes of Nata, nor can it make you the God of Fire."
"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, what's your real purpose in trying so hard to get me to destroy Shao Yun's family?"
Hearing this, Alice sneered and said disdainfully, "Why should I tell you? Mavica, you are still too naive."
Mavica no longer had the patience to talk nonsense with her. She slowly clenched her fists, and even a faint flame glowed around her.
"If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!"
Alice saw that Mavica was really going for it, and the aura around her was getting more and more fierce. She couldn't help but click her tongue, her tone full of regret.
"Hey, why are you so smart?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Alice suddenly raised her hand and snapped her fingers lightly in the air.
"Snapped!"
As soon as the crisp snap of fingers ended, a burst of dazzling white light suddenly erupted in Mavica's bedroom, instantly filling the entire room.
