Light blossomed, and the four disappeared people reappeared, still in the dense forest.

Zi Chen released his soul power and sensed the situation around him. At the same time, he took out a jade slip.
At this moment, the three of them were full of doubts, but seeing that Zi Chen was preoccupied, they didn't ask.
"Looks like I'm right. This is the direction."
Zi Chen put away the jade slip and pointed to the dense forest in front of them.
"Where are we going?
And what was that thing just now, a map? "
Shan Ya finally asked the question in her heart.
Noah Ya and Xiao Ya also looked at Zi Chen, waiting for his answer.
"Let's talk while we walk."
Zi Chen walked forward, and the three of them immediately followed.
Xiao Ya was still at a loss, and even a little panicked because she had never left Sand Star City. Although she knew Zi Chen, it was only a few days. At this moment, she was all alone with Zi Chen, and they didn't know if the young miss was alive or dead. How could she be at ease?
"Do you still remember that old man?"
Zi Chen asked as he stepped on the thick layer of fallen leaves.
Shan Ya was slightly stunned, but she quickly guessed who Zi Chen was talking about. "The coachman who always came to eat at night?"
Zi Chen nodded and said, "Yes, that's him.
We had a relationship before, and you should all know that. "
Shan Ya and Noah Ya knew everything that the old man said to Zi Chen, and they also knew what Zi Chen said to the old man.
But it was just an ordinary conversation. When had there ever been a relationship?
Zi Chen, who was walking forward, glanced at them and said, "The old man's meaning was very clear. He wanted me to protect Xiao Ya when she was in danger.
After I understood his intention, I received the old man's gift. "
"The teleportation talisman and the jade slip from before were the same?" Shan Ya asked.
"Yes."
However, no matter how hard the two of them racked their brains, they couldn't figure out when the old man had expressed such a meaning.
They did remember the old man who always came to eat and drink. He had joked about Zi Chen many times and always used Little Mute to make fun of him, which led to a lot of ridicule and Xiao Yu's harsh taunts.
In this regard, Zi Chen never refuted.
Could it be …?
Shan Ya widened her eyes in disbelief.
Zi Chen smiled. "A powerful existence wouldn't be so bored as to always mention one thing.
Do you still remember what the old man said the next day when I was grilling Little Mute? "
Shan Ya vaguely remembered that Zi Chen had good taste, but unfortunately, Xiao Mute could not marry.
That was a very normal sentence, so what was the problem?
Zi Chen continued, "First, he said that Little Mute would never get married. Then, he said that I had good taste. If we were really together, then Little Mute would protect me like how she would protect her own mistress."
Hearing such words, Little Mute lowered her head again, her cheeks slightly red.
Noah, who had been silent, said puzzledly, "Although this sentence is a bit strange, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Zi Chen said, "Actually, this is a hint.
Think about it, what are our identities? We are hired guardians. How could Little Mute, the employer, protect me?
If we were really together, I should be the one to protect her. "
This time, not only Noah and Shan Ya didn't understand, but even Little Mute didn't understand.
Looking at the puzzled people, Zi Chen said, "If you think about it in terms of our identities, this sentence becomes a requirement. That is, after we are together, I have to protect her like how I would protect my mistress?"
"Actually, at that time, I thought this sentence was a bit strange. An old man who had only said a few words to me couldn't make such a joke. I always felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words. In the next two days, after he mentioned Little Mute again, I completely understood."
Zi Chen looked at Noah and Shan Ya and said, "It's naturally impossible for the two of us, but look at the current situation."
Now, the four of them were traveling together. Little Mute was the only one in the original employer's team.
The old man's real intention was to let Zi Chen protect Little Mute.
Or rather, Little Mute was the real employer of the three of them this time!
"Of course, all of this stems from the old man's words about Ted.
He asked about our relationship, and from the old man's tone, Ted should be very clear about the details of this mission, such as the danger level. "
Zi Chen gazed into the depths of the forest. Without stopping, he said, "Even though he knew it was dangerous, he still gave us Mission J, probably because he trusted us.
And the old man was willing to arrange this mission for us at the last minute because he trusts Ted.
For someone who can gain the trust of a Human Soul realm expert, do you think Ted is a Third Realm expert like we thought? "
The duo's expressions changed. Clearly, they didn't think so much.
Zi Chen had long known that this mission was unusual, so he paid attention to every detail from the beginning.
Little Mute stood at the side as though she was listening to a dream.
Before the two of them could recover from their shock, they heard another shocking topic.
"Perhaps there's a problem with that jade p."
"What's the problem with that jade p?
We've seen it many years ago and tried to open it, but we never opened it. "
The duo looked at Zi Chen in confusion.
Zi Chen said, "If Ted's identity isn't ordinary, then he must have met other Descenders, and not just one."
The duo's expressions changed.
This time, even Little Mute's expression changed. However, it wasn't because of Ted's identity, but because Zi Chen said the words' Descenders'.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that he got those Descenders to open the jade p, but he wasn't willing to sell it to them."
Zi Chen, who knew the value of the jade p, shook his head and said, "This situation is unlikely because any Descender who opened the jade p was determined to obtain it!
He also wouldn't let anyone try it. Then, there's only the second possibility left … "
A strange light flashed in Zi Chen's eyes. "That jade p isn't something that all Descenders can open, and I was the first person Ted met to open it.
He also knows the value of this jade p, so he entrusted us with this mission.
Or rather, the reward for this mission is the jade p itself. "
Little Mute looked deeply at Zi Chen with an indescribable emotion in her eyes. This was because Zi Chen's actions had already revealed his identity as a Descender.
The duo was still in shock. They didn't expect that a small jade p would have so many things.
Zi Chen looked to the side and said, "And our true mission isn't to protect the young lady on the carriage, but to protect Little Mute!"
Little Mute was stunned when she heard this. Clearly, she didn't understand what Zi Chen meant.
Why protect her?
Zi Chen put away his serious expression and said with a smile, "That's why you don't need to be afraid of us. You're our employer, so we'll protect you with our lives."
Hearing Zi Chen's promise, Little Mute didn't know what to do.
Zi Chen walked forward. In fact, he still had one more thing to say. It was the suspicion in his heart.
