Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

The Taoist ultimately refused to agree to Ji Chen's proposal.

When Ji Chen arrived at the backyard, the old man had already made all necessary preparations.

There was a huge formation drawn on the ground, the old man raised his finger, and he said, "Xiaowa, you can just go there and stand there. The process may make you feel a little uncomfortable, but if you persist, it's nothing It's a big deal. I promised that I won't hurt your life, so you should trust me more. After all, if you kill your life, the Taoist will never let me go. I did all this just to survive, I will not seek death by myself."

Of course Ji Chen understood this truth.

It was because he understood that he would agree to the old man's request.

Following the other party's instructions, he walked into the formation and stood still.

Before the old man had time to fight, Gu Nianqing, who came to the backyard with the Taoist priest, suddenly ran a few steps and rushed to Ji Chen at the fastest speed, then stretched out his hands and pushed him out of the formation Law.

Ji Chen was a little puzzled.

He looked into Gu Nianqing's eyes and asked his doubts with his eyes.

Gu Nianqing shook her head, pointed to the formation on the ground, thought for a while, then ran to Ji Chen's side, took his hand, and wrote two words on his palm with her fingers: Terrible.

Ji Chen understood immediately.

Gu Nianqing's cultivation level is indeed not very high, and her spiritual power is not very strong, but she also has her own specialties, especially in terms of intuition, she has always been accurate and no one can find any faults.

It is precisely because of this that even if she didn't hear the conversations just now, the feeling the formation gave her was enough to make her realize that this is not a good thing and make her feel scared.

As for the things she would be afraid of, of course she would not allow Ji Chen to stand on them.

That's why she rushed over without hesitation and pushed people out of the formation.She didn't think about whether her behavior would hurt herself.

Seeing the little girl like this, Ji Chen felt a little helpless.But as usual, he took out the pen and paper from his pocket, laid it aside, and wrote her the current situation.

According to the request of the Taoist priest, Ji Chen would naturally not tell Gu Nianqing what they planned to ask the old man to exchange for them.He only said that the formation could cure Gu Nianqing's illness, let her hear and speak, and the blind eye could be restored to its original state, that's all.

Ji Chen wrote all the words that sound good, but Gu Nianqing shook his head vigorously when he saw the words on it.

She really wanted to hear what Master and brother were talking about, and she really wanted to communicate with them like an ordinary person.But all of this is based on the premise of everyone's safety. If Master and brother will be in danger in order to restore her to normal, then she would rather be a deaf and dumb for the rest of her life.

She is not a child anymore.

Or because of her childhood living in the imperial city, she knew more clearly that there were not many people in this world who wanted her to exist.

Master is one, brother is one.

No third person could be found.

Gu Nianqing knew that in the eyes of these two people, she was very important.

And comparing her heart with her heart, in her eyes, these two people have also become the most important existence.

She doesn't want her most important person hurt.

Not at all.

Thinking of this, Gu Nianqing dragged Ji Chen out of the yard without hesitation.But before taking two steps, the man was grabbed by the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest hit the other party with a spirit at a speed that Gu Nianqing couldn't react.The little girl didn't have the ability to resist at all, she just opened her eyes wide in a daze, and then she swayed and lost consciousness.

Seeing his action, Ji Chen frowned slightly: "Master Dao, this matter... really don't need to ask Nian Qing's opinion? If I were her, I would not agree. So..."

"I don't need to ask for her opinion, I've already made up my mind." The Taoist said, walking up to Ji Chen again.

He reached out and patted Ji Chen's shoulder, and a spiritual energy rushed into Ji Chen's body the moment he touched it.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and the shock on his face was exactly the same as that of Gu Nianqing before.

But also before he had time to ask any questions, Ji Chen swayed and fell to the ground.

At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he heard the Taoist say: "There is no need to ask for her opinion, and there is no need to ask for your opinion either. This is something I have decided, and no one can change it."

The voice fell, and the screen turned into darkness.

Outside the screen, the empress stared blankly at everything.She didn't say anything, and there was no reaction.It was as if she had returned to the time when she was dazed and silly, like a wooden doll, ignorant, without laughter or tears.

People around were talking about it, but the Empress turned a deaf ear to it.

She just stared at the screen in a daze until the light on the screen came back on.Everyone suddenly discovered that Ji Chen's black hair had turned into snow white at some point.

Getting up from the ground in a daze, Ji Chen looked forward blankly.

Then he saw the old man standing not far from him, his face looked much better than before.

Ji Chen frowned: "Your exchange is over?"

"Of course it's over, but don't worry, it's not an exchange with you." The old man let out a sigh of relief with a smile, and he said, "The old Taoist made a blood contract with me with his own life, and I can't disobey it, so I just Do as he says. I will tell you his last words."

"From the very beginning, he didn't intend to make you pay anything. It's just that he didn't believe that your ten-year relationship would make you willing to take care of his daughter forever. So he tried it out. Fortunately, you passed the test."

"His voice, hearing, and eyes are given to the girl, his life is given to me, and the rest of his cultivation is given to you. The only hope is for you to take good care of the girl."

"Now that the girl hasn't woken up, I've said everything I need to say. You can take her away too."
