Chapter 36.2 - Replacing Qi Changling (2) (2/2)
Wen Renyi faced Li Zecheng. “Mr. Li, feel free to inspect.”
Li Zecheng originally harbored misgivings but since Wen Renyi had sent himself to his door, he’ll take the opportunity and inspect him as well.
He conducted his diagnosis very meticulously and the end results were that there was not a trace of drug found inside his body. Even if there was that possibility, it would have to be a miracle drug, because with his current level of medical ability, he was unable to detect it.
“Mr. Wen Ren’s condition is normal.” Li Zecheng stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
Feng Lan evidently exhaled a breath of relief. “It’s very late right now, you should all go back and rest. We still have battles to do tomorrow and the day after.”
When He Zhou and Wen Renyi reached their room, silence engulfed the room for a while before someone broke it. “Why did you suddenly choose to reveal your cultivation base?”
Wen Renyi sat beside him and shifted his legs closer to his. He gripped his left hand as he softly apologized. “I can’t always hide behind you forever. I wanted us to carry the burden of what’s going to happen next after today, together.”
He originally didn’t want to tip off Qi Changling this early but when he saw him bully Ah Zhou, Wen Renyi didn’t want to put it off any longer.
“You can still continue posing as an array master.” Wen Renyi chuckled. “There’s no need to prematurely reveal your cultivation base. Otherwise, the forces that have been coveting for your necklace would choose to plot against your life once again, seeing that they would lose control over you.”
“Are you saying that, for now, they won’t be making a move?” Young Master He inquired.
Wen Renyi nodded. “After Qin Zhao stole the necklace, he would have definitely sought after some array masters for a solution, but in the end, it remained to be a fruitless effort. After hearing the news that you were an array master, he figured he had nothing else to lose. I reckon that the external organizations have been tracking his movements and following that, have also decided to observe for the moment.”
He Zhou was enlightened. “Then if I perform an extremely high level of arrays, I would stand out too much and they would feel the need to tighten their surveillance to ensure I won’t get away?”
Wen Renyi endorsed this point of view, however. “They won’t be waiting for too long. Gars is only just the beginning.”
“Gars Bruch, a vampire who fears silverware, who’s even capable of making people put their guard down. It’s really indeed like this.” Young Master He was unable to hold back his smile. “Now I’m starting to get curious. What’s really hidden inside this necklace?”
Wen Renyi held his hand more tightly. “Let’s take it one step at a time. We’re not in a hurry.”
He Zhou stared at his handsome small smile and couldn’t help but plant a light kiss on the profile of his face before standing up. “I’m going to go take a bath.”
As he had just stepped into the shower room, he suddenly seemed to have recalled something and turned around to ask. “You obviously have the ability to stop Qi Changling from saying those words so why didn’t you? All this time, you were actually a descendant of the ZhengMo Sect. I fear that apart from the Wen Ren clan, a lot of other people would also harbor grudges against you.”
Wen Renyi turned his unfocused eyes to look at him and replied. “Ah Zhou. This was the exact result that I wanted.”
Young Master He’s heart shook slightly as he quickly asked. “Are you hiding something from me?”
Wen Renyi remained silent for a moment before he earnestly voiced. “Ah Zhou, you and I both have hidden dangers around us. I hope we would not become a lone army putting up a brave fight(1).
A lone army putting up a brave fight: struggling hard without supportYoung Master He was startled by the speculation in his heart.
“Are you saying you want to replace Qi Changling?”
