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

The group realized that Cheng Ji had no intention of communicating with them now, so they didn't stay any longer.

Probably the same as what they did to Zhang Qiling, everyone thought it was natural that Cheng Ji wanted to stay and could handle the danger on his own.

But Wu Xie is not included.

"What will happen to him if we leave?" Wu Xie looked at the direction where Cheng Ji disappeared with a worried look and spoke hesitantly.

"Nothing will happen to him. You should worry about yourself." Chen Pi rolled his eyes at Wu Xie who was worrying too much.

"But he is also a human being. If he encounters danger and no one takes care of him..."

Xie Yuchen heard Wu Xie's words and interrupted with a chuckle: "If we encounter something that even he can't handle, then we will probably only make things worse if we stay."

Wu Xie: "..."

In the end, it was Wu Sanxing's painful groan that brought Wu Xie back to his senses. He no longer had the idea of ​​accompanying Cheng Ji or dragging people away. The group hurriedly left the Yunding Palace along the same route they came.

After the noise, peace returned to the foot of Changbai Mountain, and the real Wu Sanxing, who had been hiding in the dark, also came out.

"Mr. Cheng, are you going to wait here?" Wu Sansheng walked to Cheng Ji, sat down on the recliner that Cheng Ji had just set up with peace of mind, and asked.

Cheng Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the very self-conscious Third Master of the Wu family in front of him.

It's different now that he paid the money. If it were a year ago, Wu Sansheng would never have dared to do this in front of him.

But Cheng Ji was too lazy to argue with them now, so he simply took out another bed from the space and lay down on it.

"Your plan is to go to the Queen Mother of the West Palace next, right? When will you go?"

Wu Sansheng's face was filled with worry. "We had originally planned to go back this time, and we estimated that we would be there in March or April. Wen Jin sent a message a while ago saying that her current health might not last more than half a year."

When Cheng Ji heard what Wu Sanxing said, he sneered and did not comment.

Wu Sansheng understood what Cheng Ji meant by laughing like that, and felt helpless, but he still couldn't help but explain: "Master Cheng, do you think I'm too cruel to Wen Jin?"

"This is your Nine Sects' business. Chen Pi, as a father, doesn't care about it, so I naturally don't have the position to care about it."

Wu Sansheng was silent for a long time and didn't say a word.

Cheng Ji gave them a chance at that time, but they didn't know that Qi Yu was Cheng Ji, so they didn't trust Cheng Ji's advice.

At that time they walked out of the darkness with full confidence, but all their original ideas were wiped out the moment they entered.

Cheng Ji and Zhang Qiling just stood there blankly, folding their arms as they watched him and Jie Lianhuan walk out from the darkness.

At that time they turned around and wanted to run, but somehow, the place where they were hiding was blocked by an invisible wall, and they just bumped into it.

Cheng Ji came over at that time as if it were a routine matter, and told them his identity, and also told them that Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were not replaced identities.

I am the one who has played with them since I was a child.

But they didn't believe it at that time, and after they left, they still strictly chose to use the original plan and fed Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling with corpse-eating pills.

Wu Sansheng knew that this was what Cheng Ji didn’t understand, but the Nine Gates’ plan really didn’t allow them to care about those little sentimental things.

After a long while, Cheng Ji finally spoke: "Don't worry about Wen Jin's condition, nothing is wrong for now."

Wu Sansheng was also stunned when he heard Cheng Ji's words. He didn't expect Cheng Ji to tell him this. Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke with some unspeakable pleading: "Master Cheng, I know you have the ability to bring the dead back to life. Can you...can you save Wen Jin?"

"You cut off her chance of survival, and yet you ask me to save her?" Cheng Ji chuckled, with a mocking tone in his voice.

Wu Sansheng knew that Cheng Ji was just mocking his cold-bloodedness, but he also had his pain. He and Jie Lianhuan had sacrificed too much for this plan. That time in the Paracel Islands, there was no turning back.

However, he saw that Cheng Ji treated Jie Yuchen differently along the way, so he wondered if he could show a little more compassion to them. For him, the life of the woman he loved was too heavy a burden for him to bear.

Cheng Ji actually wanted to lend a hand at the end. After all, he had watched Chen Wenjin grow up, and she was Chen Pi's child. But his decision was not an excuse for Wu Sanxing not to atone for his sins.

"Go away." Cheng Ji did not answer Wu Sansheng, but asked Wu Sansheng to leave in a flat voice.

Wu Sansheng knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, so he did not disturb him any further. He just stood up, bowed to Cheng Ji, and left.

"Come out." After an unknown amount of time, thinking that Wu Sanxing had already walked far away, the person who had been waiting at the corner and listening to their entire conversation came out and sat on the recliner where Wu Sanxing had sat before.

Cheng Ji didn't even turn his head, as if he had known that he was eavesdropping there, and asked directly: "Did you hear everything?"

"Ah."

"Let me hear what you think now."

The visitor took a long time to digest what he had just seen and heard before asking, "So the person walking outside now is not Wu Sanxing at all. Then who is he?"

The man's voice was not loud, but one could just about make out from it that his original composure had now disappeared.

He felt that there was an answer in his heart that was about to come out, but he would not feel at ease until he heard Cheng Ji's personal admission.

Cheng Ji sighed lightly: "Why do you care so much? Is the answer so important? What can you change?"

Xie Yuchen was stunned. He didn't know how to answer Cheng Ji's question. It seemed that it was exactly as he said. He couldn't change anything. He couldn't even go up and recognize him. As long as this plan continued, he could only be Wu Sansheng.

"Half a year later, Lancuo."

Cheng Ji knew that Xie Yuchen had always just wanted an explanation as to why he had been left alone. Even though he already knew the reason, he still wanted to ask in person.

Xie Yuchen repeated this information several times between his lips, nodded and stood up.

Now that his goal had been achieved, Xie Yuchen did not stay any longer.

Cheng Ji looked up at Xie Yuchen's departing back and raised his eyebrows: "Leaving by yourself?"

Xie Yuchen waved his hand and said, "I'm not that stupid. I had already handed the position to Xie's servant when I came here. He is already waiting at the door. Don't worry, it's safe."

As he spoke, Xie Yuchen walked farther and farther away, until he completely disappeared from Cheng Ji's sight.

Cheng Ji closed his eyes again, quietly waiting for time to pass.
