Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 22: Friends (1/2)
Su Chen stopped the trans on
He quickly reviehat had occurred thus far
The greatest probleht noas He Xu
Just He Xu’s existence had brought about two crucial effects
First of all, his Thousand Faces Beast Bloodline had confiruise themselves When there was one it was extremely likely for there to be a second Zhu Xianyao had no reason to believe that there wouldn’t be another person with the Thousand Faces Beast Bloodline This was also the rown suspicious in the first place
Secondl, He Xu was both the best hostage and greatest weakness at thishad happened to hian to suspect him, it would be very difficult for Su Chen to save He Xu for ood neas that Zhu Xianyao and the others had no way of directly seeing through disguises yet
Under these kinds of circumstances, all Zhu Xianyao could do was compel him by force
She would either force Su Chen to display a co wouldn’t have, or she would y until he wouldn’t be able to keep up his appearance anymore Both were quite effective tactics
Thankfully, these tactics were all equivalent to discarding all pretenses Zhu Xianyao wouldn’t do this until she had confirht
She had one uise of exchanging pointers!
When he realized this, a strange light flashed across Su Chen’s eyes
At that moment, footsteps could be heard outside the room Su Chen immediately pushed open the door, walked out, and found Zhao Jingalking towards hiwen s when Su Chen waved and said, “Jingwen, perfect tiin Stones? Lend in Stones? What do you need the materials, of course Yaoyao wanted us to in For, the assassins caht be waiting for an opportunity to spring another trap That’s why I need to go and buy some more materials”
“But there are assassins outside Isn’t it dangerous for you to go out right now?”
“They just suffered a failure, so for the tiain In any case, what reason would they have to attack et is Yaoyao If I risk ratitude towards in to like wen helplessly acquiesced Even though Su Chen had asked to borrow the the Miss’s safety
Su Chen grabbed the Origin Stones and scurried off Only then did Zhao Jingwen realize that he hadn’t done what the Young Miss had asked him to do yet
He was about to call hi was in a hurry to protect the Young Miss, calling him back to spar would be a bit too ill-timed It was better to wait for a bit
It wasn’t until Su Chen exited the castle that he let out a sigh of relief
He was just about to head towards shi+ Mingfeng and the others when a figure suddenly leapt out of a nearby alleyway and pulled hisha
“Why are you here?” Su Chen said in surprise
“Cut the crap You still haven’t done what I asked you to do Thank goodness I cahed, “The situation has become a bit cosha said
“You’re well-infor around How else would I have found you?” Yue Longsha said as she looked at Su Chen with a self-satisfied expression
Su Chen knew that so’s subordinates were definitely spies for Yue Longsha She couldn’t possibly have such a firrasp on the situation otherwise
However, he didn’t want to concern himself with this matter All he said was, “He Xu was captured I don’t want the plan to fail, so I snuck in by myself The matter that you’ve entrusted to me I have always kept in my heart Actually, before this all happened, I discovered the location of that list of names I just haven’t had the opportunity to seize it”
“Where is it?”
“It’s in a crystal ball that Kong Cheng keeps on hi, so it probably has some kind of spatial-type attribute to it”
