Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Chapter 128: Zhang Jian Acting Suicidal (1/2)
chapter 428: chapter 128: zhang jian acting suicidal
in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the black shark gang was annihilated.
however, the impact of this event did not fade away; instead, it seemed to intensify as time went on.
on this day, even zhang jian came to lin jing to discuss the matter of the black shark gang.
upon arriving at lin jing’s place and seeing him in the courtyard, zhang jian couldn’t wait to speak up:
“brother lin…”
“you must have heard about the black shark gang, right?”
lin jing nodded and said:
“this matter has had a big impact, of course i’ve heard about it…”
hearing this, zhang jian hurriedly came up to lin jing, winked at him, and said with a smile:
“let me tell you, i have the whole truth about the annihilation of the black shark gang, even down to the origins of the person who wiped them out. i know it all.”
“what do you think, are you interested?”
lin jing looked at zhang jian with a strange expression and simply shook his head:
“not interested…”
what truth could there be that was more true than his own, the actual person involved?
zhang jian was taken aback by lin jing’s response, and then looked at him with disbelief, saying:
“you can’t be serious…”
“this is a shocking secret. are you really not interested? don’t you know how many people out there want to uncover the mystery of how the black shark gang was destroyed?”
“could you be possessed by an evil spirit to be uninterested in this?”
as zhang jian spoke, he tilted his head and looked at lin jing with a skeptical expression.
however…
before lin jing could respond, a cold and clear voice suddenly interrupted:
“i would like to hear what secret you’re talking about.”
upon hearing this voice, lin jing felt a chill in his heart.
because this voice was identical to that of the white-robed woman.
lin jing turned around and saw the white-robed woman standing at the entrance of the courtyard. he didn’t even know when she had arrived.
moreover, the white-robed woman had disguised her cultivation level, appearing now as if she were merely at the early stages of the golden core…
……
not just lin jing.
zhang jian also turned around quickly upon hearing the voice and looked in the direction it had come from.
when he saw the white-robed woman, he was completely dumbfounded.
no other reason.
simply because the white-robed woman was exceedingly beautiful.
seeing the appearance of the white-robed woman,
lin jing was about to bow and greet the white-robed woman, but her look stopped him in his tracks.
at that moment, zhang jian was still staring blankly at the white-robed woman. if no one attended to him, he might start drooling…
however, just then, a flash of cold light appeared in the eyes of the white-robed woman, and zhang jian immediately snapped out of his stupor.
once he returned to his senses, zhang jian tightened his robes and mumbled softly:
“strange…”
“why did i suddenly feel a chill just now?”
although it was early spring in march and the weather should not be cold, and zhang jian as a golden core cultivator certainly couldn’t be affected by such a mild chill.
the only possibility was that the killing intent of the white-robed woman made him feel the cold.
however, now that the white-robed woman had resumed her usual demeanor, zhang jian didn’t notice anything amiss.
instead, he turned to the white-robed woman, smiling and saying:
“fairy…”
“are you an old acquaintance of lin daoyou? why haven’t i seen you before?”
the white-robed woman replied directly:
“i’ve only known lin jing for half a month, but that’s not important…”
“i am quite interested in your story about the mystery of the black shark gang’s demise and the origins of their destroyer.”
“would you tell me about it?”
as soon as zhang jian heard the white-robed woman say this, he immediately became excited:
“of course, of course…”
“brother lin has some excellent spiritual tea here, we could drink and talk. what do you think, fairy?”
zhang jian’s behavior made lin jing’s heart beat fast…
he was like an old man trying to hang himself—tired of living.
yet,
the white-robed woman seemed to want to elicit information from zhang jian and did not object, instead saying directly:
“of course, that’s fine…”
as soon as the white-robed woman agreed, zhang jian became even more attentive:
“fairy…”
“please, this way…”
with that, zhang jian guided the white-robed woman through the courtyard and into the inside.
lin jing followed cautiously behind.
zhang jian deliberately slowed down to walk alongside lin jing, and then he transmitted the sound to him, complaining:
“brother lin…”
“you’re not being fair. meeting this fairy and not telling me about it, you should definitely serve the best tea later. don’t let us lose face.”
to this, lin jing felt like crying without tears…
this ‘fairy’ was far beyond what he could afford to provoke.
lin jing wanted to warn him through transmitted sound, but the white-robed woman turned around at that moment and looked at lin jing with a smile.
at the sight of the white-robed woman’s smile, lin jing just felt a chill down his spine…
obviously, the white-robed woman had heard every word of zhang jian’s transmission.
faced with this situation, lin jing had no solution and could only hope that zhang jian wouldn’t push his luck too far, leaving them both a way out.
…
…
the three of them made their way to the room, and lin jing quickly brewed the tea, first offering a cup respectfully to the white-robed woman.
