“Trust is easy to say, but it is much easier said than done.”

Liu Yaoyao herself is a rebel and is always thinking about rebellion.

She told Chen Changli that she believed him verbally, but she was just fooling him.

"Chen Changli, although there is no trust between us, we can have a tacit understanding. Why are you unwilling to abide by that tacit understanding?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Liu Yaoyao stared at Chen Changli with vicious eyes and her voice was full of resentment.

"My people are Gu Masters. They are indeed quite capable, but they are also human. How can they compare to monsters like you who have fought on the battlefield."

"But I never thought that you trained retired soldiers to be your secret guards. No wonder you were able to avoid the schemes of the Third and Fourth Princes time and time again."

Looking carefully at Chen Changli's expression and seeing that there was no change, Liu Yaoyao felt a surge of resentment in her heart.

She started talking without thinking, but at the end she smiled smugly.

"Haha, does the old emperor know about this? Chen Changli, the retired soldiers are the people of Dajing and the subjects of the old emperor."

"You turned his people into your secret guards, which is tantamount to treason. The old emperor will not let you go. I am waiting to see your end."

Chen Changli's eyes were filled with coldness when he heard this: "You won't be able to see my end, because you will die in my hands now."

After hearing this, Liu Yaoyao subconsciously touched her throat. She still couldn't forget the feeling of suffocation.

Chen Changli really wanted to kill her, and his moves were quick, ruthless and accurate.

If the Gu Master had not posed a greater threat to her, she would have turned into a corpse long ago.

"You say I'm crazy, but I think you're the crazy one. Wan Shufang must have been blind to marry a cruel lunatic like you."

Liu Yaoyao coughed repeatedly when she said this, as if she wanted to cough away the itchiness brought by the feeling of suffocation.

She coughed for a long time, felt much better, and smiled coldly.

"Wan Shufang was still young when she married you, so I guess she doesn't know your true nature. Tell me, if I tell her what happened today, what will happen to your relationship as husband and wife?"

Liu Yaoyao looked up at Chen Changli and saw that he had a cold expression on his face and said nothing, but his eyes were full of murderous intent when he stared at her. She immediately laughed as if she had stepped on Chen Changli's bottom line.

"It's useless for you to kill me, because my people will tell Wan Shufang what I said. Haha, Chen Changli, if you have the guts, just kill me now. I won't even blink an eye."

Liu Yaoyao jumped on the soles of Chen Changli's shoes like a grasshopper, provoking him. Chen Changli's forehead was bulging with veins and his face became increasingly gloomy.

The red half of the whip seemed to be able to sense his emotions, and it actually reflected a bloody light under the warm sunlight.

Liu Yaoyao's eyes were flashed by the light, and she almost couldn't see the change in Chen Changli's expression.

She quickly closed her eyes to suppress the discomfort, then opened her eyes and sneered, "Chen Changli, you are a monster in human skin. Otherwise, how could you defeat the Quanrong in ten years?"

If Chen Changli had not appeared out of nowhere, the Quanrong would have conquered Dajing long ago. She was also leading Prince Rong to split Dajing under the mission assigned by her master. She would not have used opium as cautiously as she does now.

"If I were a monster, I would have found and killed all of you rebels hiding in the gutter long ago. Why would you cause so much trouble?"

Chen Changli listened to Liu Yaoyao's extremely unwilling words and felt that there was something wrong with Liu Yaoyao's brain to think like that about him.

He looked down upon Liu Yaoyao more and more, and thought that the reason she had not been exposed for so long was clearly because her master was so powerful that Liu Yaoyao could hide in the dark and spy on everyone like a poisonous snake.

"Liu Yaoyao, is Chang Xuewei really your savior?" Chen Changli suddenly asked.

"You have no right to mention her." Liu Yaoyao was furious.

She didn't allow Chen Changli to doubt Chang Xuewei, just because that would make her concern for Chang Xuewei seem a little stupid.

"Am I not qualified or are you not qualified?" Chen Changli asked accurately.

Liu Yaoyao was choked by these words and her face turned red, she was angry.

"Chen Changli, what do you want to do? Chang Xuewei doesn't know martial arts. I have investigated her background clearly. She would never arrange such a thing to make us hate each other and want to kill each other."

Liu Yaoyao spoke confidently, but she was unsure in her heart.

If Chang Xuewei had not fallen into Chen Changli's hands, how did she, a weak woman, avoid those weirdos?

Although Liu Yaoyao had never seen with her own eyes how terrifying the strange people in Luoyang City were, people who went to Luoyang City to inquire about them described them vividly.

Chang Xuewei has no one at her disposal, how can she be a match for these weirdos?

"Chang Xuewei got the real Phoenix Gu." Chen Changli didn't intend to beat around the bush with Liu Yaoyao and said it directly.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yaoyao's face changed in shock, and her voice rose: "Has the Phoenix Gu really been refined? Isn't it a legend?"

For a moment, Liu Yaoyao found it difficult to accept this matter. After thinking about Chen Changli's words, a sharp chill suddenly penetrated her spine.

Chang Xuewei got the Phoenix Gu? Liu Yaoyao stared with her eyes wide open and said hoarsely, "Chang Xuewei is weak, but I've already told her what the Phoenix Gu is. She's terribly afraid of it, so how could she possibly covet it?"

"You don't believe in the existence of Phoenix Gu? Then why did you accept the doctor captured by Princess An Qing? Could it be that your plan from the beginning was to deceive His Majesty?" Chen Changli was full of doubts.

He inadvertently thought of what Xu Qinglu once said, which was to use the Phoenix Gu to deal a heavy blow to the emperor.

Could it be that Liu Yaoyao had the same idea as Xu Qinglu at the beginning, but Chang Xuewei appeared in the middle, which made the illusory Phoenix Gu come true.

"Phoenix Gu doesn't have the ability to make people immortal. It can only turn people into bloodthirsty monsters. The weirdos in Luoyang City are its masterpieces."

"Liu Yaoyao, let me ask you, does Chang Xuewei know the function of Phoenix Gu?"

When Chen Changli asked this question, he suddenly thought of the characteristics of those weird people.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the function of Phoenix Gu for immortality might be to turn people into monsters.

After all, monsters don't know cold or heat, nor do they feel pain. Their consciousness always remains at the moment they are bitten. This can be considered as another kind of immortality.

"I was the one who told her about the existence of Phoenix Gu. Living people are needed to refine Phoenix Gu. Chang Xuewei is so weak and timid. How can she be willing to believe that Phoenix Gu will come true?"

Liu Yaoyao was no longer in a hurry to provoke Chen Changli at this moment. She wanted to find out the matter about Phoenix Gu and Chang Xuewei.

If there really was something wrong with Chang Xuewei, wouldn't her master be in danger?

Between her master and her savior, Liu Yaoyao chose her master without hesitation.

"Did you really not lie to me about Chang Xuewei? Chen Changli, if you didn't lie to me, I can give you some benefits and let you take Wan Shufang away from Luoyang City and go to Qingzhou to gain wealth and glory."
