Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Cheng Ji acted like a child for a rare time. He reached out and touched the warm stones under his feet, and said softly, "The reason I protected you in the beginning was simply because I thought it was unnecessary for a child to live such a hard life."

"But you are an eagle that can fly into the sky, not a canary, so I have no intention of interfering in anything you do. I am just a spectator, and it is not difficult for me to lend a hand when I see injustice."

"You mean you didn't originally want to have anything to do with us?" Xie Yuchen knew that Cheng Ji didn't mean that at all, but he didn't know what was wrong with him today. He just wanted to be as willful as a child.

Cheng Ji understood the awkwardness in Yu Chen's words and chuckled. He didn't care and continued to say what he wanted to say: "Xiao Hua, there are some questions that I can tell you the answers to directly, but there are some that I can't help myself. If I really don't care about you and Wu Xie now, then why not just tell you what you want to know?"

Xie Yuchen kept staring at Cheng Ji's face while Cheng Ji was speaking, trying to find some clues in Cheng Ji's expression.

The facts really fulfilled his wish, and he really saw something. Xie Yuchen looked at Cheng Ji and said his conclusion in an unhappy tone: "The person behind Wu Sanxing is related to me."

When Cheng Ji heard Xie Yuchen's words, even his hands, which were picking up stones under his feet, paused unconsciously.

Xiaohua is so smart that he has even seen every expression on his face since he came here from beginning to end. His insight is really scary.

Before, Xie Yuchen would not use these on him, but the recent unusual movements of the Nine Gates, coupled with Wu Sanxing's abnormality, forced Xie Yuchen to do so. Only by doing this can he make a 100% conclusion about the actions of the Nine Gates in the future.

Cheng Ji shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Do you really have to make yourself so tired?"

Although Xie Yuchen had already gotten the answer from Cheng Ji, he still felt inexplicably panicked when he heard Cheng Ji's words.

He really wanted to know the truth behind this. He wanted to know whether Jie Lianhuan was alive or dead.

He now knows some truths that he shouldn't know through his own cleverness, but if the price is to become strangers with Cheng Ji from now on, then for him, the price of this truth is too high.

He seemed to be a little regretful now. When he saw the expression on Cheng Ji's face, he suddenly felt that the truth was not as important as he had imagined.

Cheng Ji saw an expression in Xie Yuchen's eyes that belonged to the nine-year-old Xie Yuchen, and the words that he had prepared to say were stopped in his throat again.

The young man did not rush to speak, but took a small step forward, hugged Xie Yuchen in his arms, and whispered to comfort him: "Xiaohua, with me, you always have the right to be yourself."

He really didn't want Xie Yuchen to face the world all the time with the suspicion and caution that was almost engraved in his bones.

He now feels that allowing him to read this book in that world at that time, getting to know Zhang Qiling, Xie Yuchen, Hei Xia Zi, Wu Xie, and this world, seemed to be the best thing arranged by God.

His pleasure.

When Xie Yuchen heard Cheng Ji's words, it seemed as if he had found an outlet to vent the grievances he had endured for twenty years.

The tear in the corner of his eye that he thought had dried up also fell.

Cheng Ji raised his hand and patted Xie Yuchen's back, softening his voice and continuing, "You don't have to worry about whether the Xie family will be affected by the Nine Gates' incident. I'm here."

"Why must we carry out this plan?" This is a question that Xie Yuchen has never been able to figure out.

After all, in his opinion, Cheng Ji is fully capable of solving the problems they are facing now, but he still chooses to follow Jiumen's plan and proceed step by step.

Cheng Ji let go of Jie Yuchen, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to leave for a while, so he just sat down right there.

"I can handle it." Cheng Ji's voice was not loud, but Xie Yuchen heard it clearly.

The young man did not pause or hide anything, and continued directly: "Before this, I cannot get too involved in the affairs between the Nine Sects and that family. I think you should be able to see that Zhang Qiling and I are the same kind of people."

"It's the immortality they have been pursuing for thousands of years, but I have actually died before. Three thousand years ago, I fell into a deep sleep due to some things, and when I woke up, it was the time you found out, when the Nine Gates had just been established for a few years."

"My situation was not very stable at that time. I had no way to interfere with the operation of this world. Even if I helped Zhang Qiling, I couldn't do it openly."

Cheng Ji sat by the hot spring pool and talked quietly, while Xie Yuchen didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.

"By the time I was able to influence the affairs of the Nine Gates, it was already too late. By then, that family had already invaded the Nine Gates, and their presence was present in almost every family."

After Cheng Ji finished speaking, Xie Yuchen asked softly: "Since we can take action now, why..."

"Do you believe it?" Cheng Ji turned his head and said with a smile.

Xie Yuchen was stunned by the question: "What?"

"If you don't know me, I'm just the president of the Nine Gates Association. If I point to your left and right arms and tell you that they are spies, will you believe it?"

This time Xie Yuchen understood, and he had the answer in his heart.

I won't believe it.

Now, there are many people in their Nine Gates, even under Chen Pi's command, who are waiting to take over as soon as Chen Pi leaves. In the eyes of these people, the friendship that the older generation of the Nine Gates had in their hearts at the beginning has long disappeared, and now they only care about interests.

The Huo family befriended him for the sake of profit.

The recently appointed head of the Li family was also frantically competing with other families in the Nine Gates for territory and did not take the Nine Gates seriously at all.

They were only facing Cheng Ji, a guy with a bad temper who would overturn the table if he disagreed with them. He could barely calm them down.

But being able to keep things under control and being able to manage their household affairs are two different concepts.

Cheng Ji can try to mediate their dispute, but he can't put his hand into other people's homes.

Therefore, the Nine Gates are now almost on the verge of a situation where they must fall to rebuild.

If one really wants to eliminate the members of that family, one must first disrupt the current situation of the Nine Gates.

He understood Cheng Ji.

It seems that I understand Wu Sanxing a little bit.
