Seeing this, the empress outside the screen finally let out a long breath.

Her expression relaxed a lot, and she sneered and said, "That enchantress trapped in the magic circle, you kept saying that I owed Ji Chen. I admit that during the ten years when I was taken out of the imperial city by him, he was indeed Treat me well. But you have also seen it, and everyone has seen it. The person who really paid for me is my master. Ji Chen is nothing more than a verbal payment at best, and he has obtained all the cultivation bases of my master. He is the one who earns, and he took so much of my master's cultivation base, isn't it natural that he treats me well?"

Speaking of this, she thought about her wording, and added: "This is called repaying debts, and it's a matter of course. After all, my master entrusted him with such heavy prayers to take care of me. If he can't take care of me, he is a beast. "

When she said that, she seemed to think she was right.

While straightening her back, the sluggish expression on the empress's face finally returned to her usual arrogance and calmness.

Only this time, the eyes of the people around her were no longer adoring her as before.On the contrary, it was full of disdain and contempt, and some disgust that couldn't be hidden.

Even Leng Muqing, who had always stood in the same camp as her and had no betrayal, couldn't help but say when she heard her remarks: "Empress, what you said is wrong. Ji Chen promised to replace her." When you pay the price, he doesn't know what the Taoist actually thinks. During the ten years of getting along with you, you have given him nothing, and he owes you nothing. He is willing to treat you like this, which is already a waste of you. Becoming his family, his sister, this is how he treats you well. I think, from the moment he promised to pay for you, you have already owed him. "

Leng Muqing's words made the cultivators around who had seen those memories nod their heads in agreement.

In their eyes, Ji Chen is indeed a villain.But as far as I can remember, he is indeed a kind person.

The ten years spent together on the mountain with Gu Nianqing and that Taoist priest, although it was mediocre, the happy smiles on the faces of the three of them were all real.

Gu Nianqing's parents had completely forgotten that there was this daughter.

They ignored her and didn't even ask her.

Only Ji Chen and the Taoist priest didn't regard her as a burden, but regarded her as a family member.That kind of warm and considerate feeling cannot be pretended.

Su Mei's snake body moved twice, and she raised her head to look at the empress's position.She said: "I feel that Leng Muqing is also wrong. You have owed him since the moment he took you out of the palace. Whether he is willing to pay for you this time, You owe him too much. If it wasn't for him, you might have been killed by your sister at home. You still think he owes you, how shameless are you? "

"I'm shameless? I just see it more clearly," the empress sneered, without any intention of waking up, she said: "Even if there is no Ji Chen, my master will take me out of the imperial city. Ji Chen he But it's just because I miss my master's skills and want to learn from my master, so I just follow him. He is such a person. He only feels that others are important when it is profitable. And the so-called important is all It's a fake. I know this better than any of you!"

As she spoke, a trace of undetectable loneliness flashed in her eyes again.

After a moment of silence, he returned to his indifferent look.But he murmured in his mouth: "If he really felt that I was important, he wouldn't suddenly abandon me and leave me alone for so long..."

The empress's last words, she said in such a low voice that no one could hear them.

On the screen, Ji Chen was already stunned by what the old man said.As if he had been struck by lightning, he shook twice and asked hesitantly, "Are you...are you kidding me? If the Taoist priest made an exchange with you, why did my hair become like this? I ..."

"Isn't this a very simple matter? Your body can't bear such a high level of cultivation for the time being, so there are some rejection reactions." The old man interrupted Ji Chen, and said in a calm tone: "But the blood in your body It's really a good thing. No matter how much cultivation you have entered, it can be transformed into your own power at the fastest speed. If you don't believe it, you can feel it yourself, and you will know if I am lying to you .”

Of course Ji Chen also knew this method.

In fact, when the old man first told him the conclusion, he had subconsciously detected his own situation.The situation is exactly as the old man said, he has all the cultivation bases of a Taoist priest, plus his own original ones, his current strength is the best in the world.

He still asked questions, just because he didn't want to believe that these were real...

He bowed his head in silence, and after a long time, Ji Chen raised his head and asked the old man, "Where is the body of the Taoist priest? You said that you took all his life away, so his body should..."

"He asked me to burn it for him." The old man replied crisply, he said: "The old Taoist said that if you see his body, you will feel sad and can't let it go. So it's better to burn it clean. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it will save you the trouble of finding a place to bury him."

When Ji Chen heard this statement, he was stunned again.

It had to be said that this was indeed what the Taoist priest could say.

He did what he decided, and he didn't need other people's opinions.It's been that way since the beginning, nothing has changed at all.

Ji Chen stood there in a daze, and after a long time, he didn't say a word.

The old man seemed to have seen too many things in the world, so he couldn't calm down. He said, "Xiaowa, this is the matter, and I have already explained it to you clearly. It is meaningless for you to stay with me. Why don't you take advantage of it?" Seeing that your sister hasn't woken up, it's better to take her away quickly. After all, I'm old. I don't bother to comfort a crying little girl. "

Ji Chen clenched his fists.

He doesn't know what to do now.

Just like what the Taoist said, all of this is his own choice, even if he dies, even if he is shattered, it is his own decision, and others have no right to judge right or wrong.

The fingers were pinched on the side of the body, and there was a long silence.After all, Ji Chen heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the old man again, the light in his eyes became much calmer.Gritting his teeth, he asked slowly: "I still have something to ask about the Ji family."

The old man nodded: "I'm in a good mood now. If you ask any question, I can tell you the answer for free."

Ji Chen immediately asked: "I want to ask Ji Xinger, Ji Xinger... how is she doing recently?"

"Her? If she's still alive, of course she's doing well." The old man smiled, and he said, "She's the most important material for Master Ji's family. Before being used, all good things belong to her. She will grow up the healthiest, happiest and most perfect, because in this way, she can become the best material."
