Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

Qin Zhen thought she had a pretty good observation skill, but she didn't even find the mechanism.

Mingzhe simply slipped and lost his balance, and just by leaning against the wall, he discovered the hidden mechanism.

Mingzhe's eyes were filled with ecstasy, and then when he came to his senses, he began to look around vigilantly. Qin Zhen had anticipated his reaction and hid directly in a tree not far behind him.

In fact, if Mingzhe had been a little more attentive, walked a few more steps and looked up to confirm, he would have found Qin Zhen hiding in the tree.

However, he did not do that. He did not even think about looking for a place to hide up high. Instead, he hurriedly pressed down a stone brick on the wall that looked no different from the surrounding ones.

Mingzhe was extremely nervous because he was afraid that the mechanism would make too much noise.

It was not until a staircase leading down appeared silently on the ground that Mingzhe happily went down and even cried out softly, "God bless me."

Only when the door of the mechanism closed again did Qin Zhen land lightly, run straight to the stone brick, press it again, and easily entered the tunnel.

This tunnel is not complicated and there is only one way to go.

So, Qin Zhen quickly caught up with Mingzhe, but she still had no intention of showing up.

She just fell behind Mingzhe not too far away, letting him rack his brains to crack the mechanisms and traps along the way. She moved forward while reaping the benefits, while creating some obstacles for Mingzhe from time to time.

For example, a trap that was finally closed suddenly activated again, or Mingzhe's knees suddenly went weak while he was walking, and he almost bumped into a sharp object.

He didn't die, but Mingzhe, who had been having a smooth journey, was already bleeding and gasping for breath when he reached the innermost construction room.

"Come out, I saw you a long time ago."

At this moment, Mingzhe, who was standing at the door of the workshop, suddenly turned around. Due to the effect of light and shadow, Qin Zhen could not see the expression on his face.

"..." Qin Zhen didn't move.

But Mingzhe sneered: "Qin Zhen, do you think it will be useful if you hide and don't come out?"

Qin Zhen's brows instantly frowned when she heard her name being called.

Where did she reveal her true colors?

Qin Zhen subconsciously wanted to take a step forward, but just as she raised her foot, she suddenly retracted it.

No.

wrong.

If someone like Mingzhe really wanted to know where she was, he would just approach her quickly and quietly, then stab her. He wouldn't do this -

bluff.

Qin Zhen continued to hide in the dark and did not show up.

Mingzhe waited for a few moments and didn't hear any movement, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Am I overthinking?" Mingzhe carefully looked at it again and confirmed that there was nothing special. But for some reason, he was still very panicked. "Or am I really unlucky today?"

Mingzhe's expression became increasingly gloomy, but just as Qin Zhen understood him, he also thought he understood Qin Zhen.

If Qin Zhen really saw him, she would probably come up to him and cause trouble for him immediately, and would never follow him so quietly.

After all, she has always been synonymous with "direct".

Qin Zhen had no idea that Mingzhe had labeled her as "simple-minded and inflexible".

She only saw Mingzhe very cautiously sprinkle a handful of beans in front of the door, and then found a bunch of things from the house to block the door, ensuring that no matter what wanted to enter the house, it would make a noise and attract his attention.

Qin Zhen remained calm upon seeing this.

She didn't rush out immediately, but stood there.

She is waiting.

Wait for that thing to appear.

Sure enough, after a moment, Mingzhe in the workshop suddenly cried out, "Ah!"

It was just a brief moment, and soon the sound disappeared. Mingzhe suddenly covered his mouth.

I couldn't help but exclaim, and then shut up decisively.

This reaction seems to be the appearance of that thing.

"Huh." Qin Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that.

It's time to settle everything.

After Mingzhe walked out of the workshop in high spirits, the first thing he saw was Qin Zhen walking out slowly from the corner, blocking his way.

Seeing this, Mingzhe's smile suddenly disappeared, and his hand was calmly placed on the spiritual sword at his waist.

This was something Zhao Qian gave him when he became Zhao Qian's disciple.

Extremely sharp and indestructible.

"Girl, what are you doing?" Mingzhe narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Zhen.

He couldn't tell Qin Zhen's specific cultivation level, but since they were both in the Qi Refining Stage, the difference was not that big. Moreover, he had a spirit sword in his hand, while Qin Zhen had nothing. As long as that annoying woman was not around...

Mingzhe quickly glanced around again.

Qin Zhen smiled when she saw this: "No need to look for me, I'm alone."

Mingzhe didn't believe Qin Zhen's words. Instead, he became more suspicious when he heard her speak so frankly.

"After all, I don't want to dirty his eyes. Killing you is enough for me alone."

Mingzhe soon came to his senses, and looked at Qin Zhen with a little more disdain: "Miss, be careful of the strong wind, you might get your tongue bitten."

Mingzhe picked up the magic sword and stabbed towards Qin Zhen. The sword was fierce and fast. If someone was in the same Qi Refining Stage, he would not be able to keep up with Mingzhe's speed.

But in Qin Zhen's eyes——

too slow.

It was like a kindergarten kid rushing towards him with a toy sword.

Funny and ridiculous.

"Ding--"

Mingzhe's magic sword was lightly caught by Qin Zhen's two fingers. Qin Zhen didn't even use much force, and Mingzhe's proud magic sword was broken into two pieces.

"!"

For the first time, Mingzhe felt an overwhelming sense of fear. He instinctively wanted to retreat and escape from Qin Zhen, but... it was too late!

The moment the magic sword broke, Qin Zhen grabbed the broken sword with her left hand, and then stabbed it into Mingzhe's heart fiercely.

The silver-white sword blade broke through Mingzhe's defensive robes and penetrated straight into his flesh.

pain!

Heartbreaking pain!

Mingzhe wanted to ask why, but the intense pain overwhelmed him like a tide. When he opened his mouth, a mouthful of scarlet blood suddenly spurted out.

The last words he heard were—

"You are only worthy of a broken sword, rubbish."

What a familiar voice! Mingzhe realized it only later.

He wanted to look back, wanted to confirm something, but there was nothing he could do. He could only let himself fall heavily, like a stray dog, landing at the woman's feet.

The last time he was so frustrated was by Qin Zhen...

and many more!

Qin Zhen...

Why didn't he realize just now that this was Qin Zhen's voice?

Mingzhe was so angry, and at the same time, a strong feeling of unwillingness suddenly came over him.

If he had not abandoned Qin Zhen, would he have become a disciple of a better elder? And with the help of Qin Zhen's delicacies, would he have been able to reach a higher level and not have to compromise like he is now?

Why did he abandon her in the first place?
