Chapter 4182

If Zi Chen was provoking the Nine-Star Saint Spirit before, then Zi Chen was provoking everyone.

Moreover, he was provoking them with a face that deserved a beating.

It was as if he was saying, "Come and hit me?"

Even the old man next to him was stunned. After all, he had been very humble and cooperative. He didn't expect Zi Chen to still be dissatisfied.

Then the old man shouted, "Everyone, back off. Don't interfere with the Lord's search for the spy."

"How could there be a spy here? He's just making things up. He's deliberately using this excuse to make trouble for the Cui family."

Someone in the crowd said angrily.

His roar could be considered to have spoken the thoughts of many people.

He was just making trouble. Why didn't they expel him by force?

The old man's face immediately darkened. "Take him away and slap him!"

Immediately, someone came forward and dragged him away.

When the others saw this, they scattered.

Zi Chen felt very bored. He thought there was still a fight to be fought. He didn't expect the Cui family to be so cooperative.

"Zi Chen."

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

Zi Chen turned and saw Cui Jing.

"Why have you come to the Cui family?"

Cui Jing seemed very surprised. She went straight to Zi Chen's side and bowed to the old man next to her.

"I'm here to see you," Zi Chen said, "and also to look for the demon spy."

"Demon spy? Our Cui family?"

Cui Jing laughed. "Are you kidding?

How could there be a demon spy here? "

"Nonsense," the old man said in a deep voice. "Do you think this is a joke?"

Cui Jing quickly restrained her smile.

Zi Chen waved his hand. "It's no big deal. Since Cui Jing is here, let her take me around. Old man, go busy yourself with other things."

The old man nodded. "That's good. Young people have a common language. Lord Zi Chen, if you have any orders, just tell the little girl. We will do our best to cooperate.

Now, I will go to the manor to prepare some good wine and good dishes, just in time to let Sir taste our Cui family's specialty. "

Zi Chen cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. Zi Chen appreciates your kindness, but there's no need for a meal. We'll be leaving in a moment. There are still a few suspicious places we need to investigate."

After the old man left, Cui Jing led Zi Chen and Qing Yi around.

Perhaps it was because of Cui Jing, but Zi Chen didn't go to those buildings anymore. Instead, he chose some shady paths.

Looking at the playful Zi Chen, Cui Jing couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Are you really here to look for demon spies?"

Zi Chen laughed. "I was just kidding. I just wanted to see you."

Cui Jing curled her lips and said, "You have a great beauty by your side, and you still say such things. Aren't you afraid the beauty will be jealous?"

Zi Chen said, "Let me introduce you to my friend, Qing Yi.

Qing Yi, this is Cui Jing. We've met many times in the lost world. "

Qing Yi nodded with a smile. The two of them could be considered to have exchanged greetings.

The three of them walked along the path in silence.

Cui Jing seemed to be unable to bear the silent atmosphere. She asked, "Since you're here to find spies, why are you walking in a place like this?"

"Finding spies is secondary. I have a question I want to ask you," Zi Chen said.

Cui Jing didn't understand. "What question?"

Zi Chen said, "Why didn't you attack back then?"

Cui Jing said, "What are you talking about? How come I don't understand?"

Zi Chen said, "When we first met, your people wanted to start a fight, but in the end, you didn't attack. I'm very curious as to why.

Is it because you don't understand us, or do you think you have no chance of winning? "

Cui Jing fell silent.

Qing Yi was very flabbergasted. She had thought that Zi Chen and this little girl would have some sort of love and hate story. She hadn't expected the two of them to have such a relationship.

Zi Chen said, "There was another time when I was fighting in front of the last hall of opportunity in the lost world. At the time, you were standing behind me. Why didn't you take advantage of my weakness to attack me?

I gave you a chance. "

Cui Jing's face suddenly paled. "You knew?"

Zi Chen said coolly, "I don't have any other skills, but my ability to sense killing intent is incredible. I could sense your killing intent several times, so I gave you a chance. Even if I didn't have one, I had to create one for you. But what I don't understand is why you didn't attack in the end.

"My guess is that you must have some sort of trump card on you that could give me a fatal blow, right?"

Cui Jing shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know the reason."

Zi Chen asked, "Well, that leads to the second question. We've never met before, so of course there's no enmity between us. Why did you want to kill me?

Or rather, why did the Cui Clan target me? "

Cui Jing shook her head again. "I don't know."

Zi Chen said, "That means you just received an order from your clan, and were just carrying it out."

Cui Jing nodded.

Zi Chen's face was full of regret. "Then all the more reason you should have attacked. Even if you didn't succeed, I've always been merciful to women, so I wouldn't have killed you.

Plus, you wouldn't have been punished by your clan after you returned. "

Cui Jing looked up at Zi Chen. "How do you know?"

Zi Chen said angrily. "Who in the Cui Clan doesn't know that I, Zi Chen, am here?

Why have I come?

But you don't know. Clearly, you're being punished like a prisoner. "

Cui Jing said seriously, "Zi Chen, you're too scary. I was right not to attack you. If my clan became your enemy, the entire clan would be in danger."

"You overestimate me, and underestimate your clan."

Zi Chen shook his head, then turned and began to walk back the way he had come.

"Where are you going?" Cui Jing asked.

"I've been away from home for too long. I want to go home."

Zi Chen stretched lazily, then walked back the way he had come. "I'm a bit tired. I want to go home and sleep."

Qing Yi smiled and followed after him.

Cui Jing didn't move. She didn't know what Zi Chen wanted to do.

"What are you waiting for?" Zi Chen said without looking back. "Send me off."

"It's not like you can't find your way back."

Cui Jing stamped her foot, but still followed him.

Before coming, someone had said that as long as he completed this mission, his period of confinement would be over, and everything that had happened last time would be forgotten.

Cui Jing followed Zi Chen all the way to the gate. Along the way, they didn't encounter a single person. Clearly, there were orders from above to avoid Zi Chen and not to provoke him.

As they left, Zi Chen turned and looked at Cui Jing. He reached out and patted her head. "Girl," he said, "in the future, don't worry about growing your body. Your brain needs to grow as well. Otherwise, you'll be wasting your body."

Cui Jing's cheeks flushed red.

Just as Cui Jing was bashful, a voice entered her mind. "Since you didn't attack me, I'll give you a free rule of survival. Find a chance to leave the Cui Clan."
