Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System
Chapter 74 She Is My Family
Ji Chen actually guessed that the other party would never say anything cheap.But he never expected that the old man would open his mouth like a lion and want to exchange lives with him directly.
He froze for a moment.
Even if he was mentally prepared to change his life suddenly, he really couldn't agree.
He admitted that he had been together for ten years, and he had already regarded the little girl as his younger sister.But if he died, the Taoist priest would be deaf, dumb and blind.Who will protect the younger sister?Is my sister willing to see this result?
And the Taoist priest on the side also realized that he was holding Ji Chen's hand and was about to take him away. While walking, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's dead! If you want to trade your life, I will make it clear to Nian Qing that this Even if the disease persists for a lifetime, it will definitely not be cured!"
The Taoist said it very simply, he never gave Ji Chen a chance to refuse.He dragged the people to the door quickly, but the old man who was about to make a deal with them changed his words first.
Even disregarding his physical condition, he ran to the people with the fastest speed, panting out of breath, and then smiled and said: "Everyone, we have things to discuss. I know that you are here to save your daughter, what a great fatherly love! If I charge too high a price, it will also tarnish your love for your daughter, which is not appropriate, right?"
The Taoist priest's face was cold, and he didn't answer his words at all.
The old man didn't feel embarrassed, coughed lightly, and continued: "So I thought about it, I was really shameless just now. Otherwise, I only want his life span of 20 years, not too much Is it possible? You are all cultivators, and you should also understand that people with your cultivation level can live for hundreds of thousands of years. For you, 20 years is just a flick of a finger, and some people need to retreat for a hundred years , it's not important."
As he said this, Ji Chen hesitated for a moment.
For his age and cultivation level, 20 years is really not a long time for him.
He looked up at the Taoist priest beside him, but he didn't want the Taoist priest to sneer, obviously seeing through the other party's tricks, and said, "If I promise you, you will take my child into the formation, then what is the 20 yuan?" 200 years or [-] years, how would I know?"
The old man was speechless by his question.
Apparently the Taoist priest pierced through his hidden thoughts.
The Taoist narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his eyes grew more and more.
Clenching Ji Chen's hand, he said, "Ji Chen, look at the person in front of you clearly. When you go out to contact the world by yourself, you will meet many similar people. They look very innocent and friendly, saying The words that come out seem to be quite nice. But they are just a group of monsters in human skin, their hearts are already dark, you can’t be too polite to them, and you can’t fully believe the beautiful words they said.”
The old man was a little embarrassed by what he said, but perhaps because he was too worried about his own life, he didn't argue with the Taoist priest.
Ji Chen nodded half understanding.
In terms of seeing people, he has always known that he has no talent.
He is too easy to trust others.
Maybe it's like what Su Mei said, he should learn how to be a bad person?When his heart is as dark as those people's, maybe he won't be deceived again.
Ji Chen shook his head and drove this strange thought out of his mind.
The embarrassment on the old man's face grew more and more, he said: "How about I make a blood oath to guarantee that I..."
Before finishing the rest of the sentence, the Taoist priest interrupted him severely, and he said: "No, as long as it is related to life expectancy, don't think about it. Apart from that, other things can be considered, otherwise there is no need to proceed with this transaction. "
The Taoist said it very simply.
The old man could also see that if he didn't do anything else, the door-to-door business would really be missed.
Gritting his teeth hard, he finally said: "Is this okay? I don't want his life, I just need some of his vitality. This won't do him any harm, but it will allow me to live longer It takes a while. He recovers for a while, and he's all back to normal, but for me, this thing is a life saver."
The Taoist sneered: "Do you think I will still trust you?"
"Of course you can trust me." The old man said, "Just take away his vitality, and there won't be any wrinkles on his face. If his lifespan is taken away, he will age at a speed visible to the naked eye." Go on, you can see. If I really lied, you will kill me, and I will have no complaints."
When he said that, the Taoist hesitated a little.
Ji Chen also frowned and thought for a while, as if he heard some voice in his mind, the tangled expression on his face suddenly became relaxed, and he said, "Master Dao, you can listen to him. He might take me away. Some lifespan, but in order to prevent you from seeing it, he won’t take away too much, so there shouldn’t be any problem. It’s just that in Nianqing’s case...is there really no other way to cure it? I mean , There's no need for you to come, and it doesn't need to be me. I once knew an old friend, and she told me that when it's time to be ruthless, it's okay to be ruthless."
The old man nodded immediately: "If you can find other scapegoats, of course there is no problem. It doesn't matter who I exchange for. Anyway, as long as I have materials and you give me a reward, I can satisfy your requirements at any time."
The Taoist frowned, and chose to refuse without hesitation. He said: "If the person I find is a good person, then I have caused a crime to my daughter. This is a cause and effect owed, and she must repay it in the future. If what I find is a villain, I think it would be an insult to her to have my daughter put on the voice and hearing of a villain, so I might as well not do it. So I am the most suitable, and I don’t need to go to others. "
After the words fell, he looked at Ji Chen beside him again.With a particularly firm tone, he said: "Ji Chen, you don't need to persuade me on this matter. This is a decision I made myself, and I don't need anyone to persuade me. If I persuade you, there will be no harm. Change. So you still watch honestly, don't bother talking anymore."
Ji Chen clenched his fists by his side.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out after all.
A great sense of powerlessness wrapped his whole body in it.
There was nothing he could do to treat Gu Nianqing's condition.
He really couldn't be persuaded.
Seeing this scene, the old man was very happy.Rubbing his hands together excitedly, he said, "Then you guys agree? I need to get paid first, and then I can help you solve your daughter's problem. Come with me, boy, and I'll set up the formation right now." !"
The old man said, happily ran out towards the backyard.
Ji Chen originally planned to follow directly, but the Taoist patted his shoulder lightly twice.
Ji Chen turned around.
The expression on the Taoist priest's face was a little dignified, and after a long silence, he said, "Ji Chen, I'm sorry for you, and thank you too."
Ji Chen shook his head.Sighing lightly, he said, "I didn't pay too much, I just want to say, the Taoist might as well think about what I said just now. If you don't want to do it, it doesn't matter if I come to find someone."
He froze for a moment.
Even if he was mentally prepared to change his life suddenly, he really couldn't agree.
