Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 845 Ready

Hearing the key, Zhao Yi suddenly became alert.

He had a memory about this.

But it was incomplete.

No matter how he recalled it, it was useless.

And the damage of this memory was different from other memories, it was cut off very cleanly.

So he had to wonder if this memory was... thrown away by him on purpose?

"There are clues, but I can't remember them anyway. The fragments about the Star Gate are also incomplete..."

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows.

He felt that his speculation was most likely true.

The memory about the Star Gate and the key was cut off and discarded by himself.

As for the reason, it was because he was worried that these two extremely important information fell into the hands of the Skull Church or other forces.

But it was precisely because of this that the importance of this news was explained!

"Is the key to open the Star Gate really in the hands of Emperor Dongyue?"

Zhao Yi's eyes flickered.

To be fair, if he was playing chess, it would be absolutely impossible to put the permission to cross the Chaos Sea and the key to open the Star Gate in the hands of the same person!

So he believed that the main personality would never do that.

So... who holds the key to the Star Gate?

Looking at Zhao Yi who suddenly fell into deep thought, Chao Xian on the side winked at Yan (Ji Pa), as if to say: Zhao Yi is really stupid, he doesn't believe so many people in the underworld, but he believes in the people from our two churches.

Yan said nothing, and his mind kept turning.

At this time, she suddenly understood Zhao Yi's intention of not rushing to kill Chao Xian.

As long as they cooperate well, Chao Xian can perjure her identity, and even at a critical moment, he can protect her from the church!

In this way, the possibility of her new identity being exposed too quickly in the church is greatly reduced.

After all, Chao Xian knows a lot of things she doesn't know.

Thinking of this, Ji Pa's eyes moved slightly behind the ghost mask, indicating Chao Xian to focus on Zhao Yi.

Chao Xian immediately collected his thoughts.

"Master Zhao... did you remember something?"

His voice trembled slightly.

Not nervous.

But excited.

Zhao Yi's appearance at this moment made Chao Xian think that his mission was half successful.

Facing Chao Xian's fiery eyes, Zhao Yi shook his head.

"It seems that there are some vague impressions, but they are very incomplete."

"Especially about the Xingchen Gate."

"Maybe only after finding the Emperor Dongyue, there will be an answer."

Chao Xian nodded:

"It doesn't matter, Master Zhao can recall slowly. This time we go to the Persimmon Forest to find the Emperor Dongyue, maybe we can get more information."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

"Master Zhao, I'm here!"

The three looked back.

They were very familiar with this voice.

It was Ji Chen's voice.

Zhao Yi waved his hand and withdrew the divine power that blocked this place.

"Come in."

Ji Chen pushed the door open and was stunned when he saw Chao Xin for the first time. After a moment, he seemed to understand something and said admiringly:

"Lord Zhao caught Chao Xin, the remnant of the church, so quickly. This efficiency... is too fast!"

"Any new plans after that?"

His words made Chao Xin, who was holding the teacup, suddenly freeze!

Remnants of the church?

Myself?

New plans?

What's going on? !

Is he...

At that moment, many thoughts flooded into Chao Xin's mind, and he felt that the air was frozen and he couldn't breathe!

Under Ji Pa's ghost mask, her white teeth bit her lips, and her hand unconsciously climbed up to the knife at her waist.

This idiot, what is he doing here!

It's going to be bad!

Her hands were full of sweat!

If this stupid brother ruined Lord Zhao's business, would it be...

The thought stopped here, and Ji Pa didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Zhao Yi wanted to kill her brother, and she couldn't stop him.

But she couldn't watch her brother die.

In the family, she was born in a side room, her father died early, her mother did something wrong and was not liked, she was often bullied since she was a child, when she was sixteen years old, the man of the child marriage sent someone to cancel the engagement because he learned that Ji Pa was of low status in the Ji family, and Ji Pa was humiliated and mocked since then.

But she didn't have any rings, old grandfather, and couldn't say such words as "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a poor young woman".

Ji Chen was the only person who helped her since she was a child.

Treated her like a real sister.

When she was six years old, Ji Pa went to Ji Chen's house to play. In front of all the elders, Ji Chen rode on Ji Pa's back and vowed to marry his sister Ji Pa.

Her legs were broken by her father's iron sand palm on the spot with screams.

After that, he knew that his sister couldn't ride.

But anyway, although Ji Chen often did stupid things, he really had nothing to say to her.

When he was young, he was often beaten black and blue by other children of the same tribe in order to protect her.

This gentleness was engraved deep in Ji Pa's heart and became her motivation along the way.

It can be said that Ji Chen is the most important person in her life.

Now, Ji Chen is facing the possibility of being killed by Zhao Yi. After the fear, Ji Pa's eyes unconsciously drifted to Zhao Yi's white neck.

One cut here -

His head fell to the ground.

Another cut, cut off your own head.

Ji Chen... maybe he can live.

Thinking of this, her thumb touching the handle of the knife shook slightly unconsciously.

Ji Chen, who sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere in the room, gradually disappeared from the smile on his face.

"Did I...did I say something wrong?"

Du Lulu——

Zhao Yi lifted the teapot and slowly poured a cup of tea into his cup. The foam appeared and was squeezed by the new water, and the aroma of tea overflowed.

The sudden sound of tea being poured eased the awkward atmosphere a little.

"Stop pretending, Ji Chen."

"I specially selected and carefully selected Poppy. I am sure that she is not from the church."

"You don't have to attack Chao Xi in such a clumsy way to stabilize her. If she is really a member of the church, then she must know that Chao Xi is not."

Ji Chen's frozen mind moved rapidly, an awkward smile appeared on his face, and he said to Ji Pa, who was also stiff:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Poppy... Mr. Zhao Yi told me some time ago that you might be from the church. He wanted to check it out privately. I'm busy arranging the funeral for my sister. I just came in and my mind was messed up. , when I saw you were there, I thought..."

Yao pinched her throat and said calmly:

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Chen smiled at Chao Yan again and said:

"Senior Chao Xi, don't take it too seriously. I came here in a hurry, but I didn't expect Master Ying to be here... I suddenly thought about disturbing the situation, but I didn't expect Master Zhao to see through it."

Chao Xi secretly wiped the sweat from his palms and said generously:

"It's okay, it's okay..."

"But are you really okay? Don't need a day off?"

Ji Chen said happily:

"It's just that my sister died, it's not a big deal!"

"How can we delay Mr. Zhao's business?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Poppy somewhat guiltily.

Ji Chen could already feel the vague murderous aura in the air.
