Chapter 34 Unexpected Event
Seeing the boy's embarrassed and questioning appearance, Zhang Lexuan laughed heartily.
The resentment in her heart at being schemed against to death by the person in front of her vanished in an instant.
"Okay, okay, I'm just teasing you."
"But you too, why are you so scheming at such a young age?"
"Wouldn't it be better to focus all your energy on cultivation?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Huan rolled his eyes in annoyance and snorted dismissively:
"Heh~"
"You don't really think being a disciple of a sect has it easy, do you?"
"In terms of your background alone, you are indeed more tragic than most people."
"But at least at Shrek you don't have to worry about many other things."
"As for me... humph, if I weren't cunning, I would have been chewed to bits long ago!"
"The world has never been at peace!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall those less-than-pleasant personal experiences.
Then he felt a chill and instinctively shivered.
In fact, during his six years living in Tianluo City, Ning Huan had been targeted by others more than once.
Of course, if the exposure was due to carelessness, he wouldn't complain at all.
That's because you can't blame anyone else.
But more often than not, the reason he was targeted can only be described as inexplicable.
From petty financial schemes to large-scale human trafficking...
Even out of psychological perversion, she was attracted to his body at that time, which was not yet fully developed!
It can only be said that the absurdity completely exceeded his expectations.
If one does not have sufficient written experience from a previous life, adjust their mindset in time, and act decisively and ruthlessly.
The outcome is unlikely to be good!
In contrast, Zhang Lexuan fell silent immediately after hearing this sarcasm.
Her crimson lips opened and closed several times, but in the end she couldn't utter a single word.
Before she opened that history book, she certainly didn't have to worry about material things or security.
On the other side, as dawn broke, the sound of casual conversation drifted in from outside the window.
Ning Huan then gave up the idea of continuing the conversation.
"Today's casual conversation is known only to Heaven, Earth, you, and me; no third person will ever know."
"I think you should understand the importance of this."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the second floor without looking back.
Completely disregarding the fatigue and complex emotions on Zhang Lexuan's pretty face.
suddenly...
"Wait a moment!"
Her gentle voice, unlike its usual soothing tone, sounded unusually hurried.
Faced with this unusual situation, Ning Huan, filled with curiosity, stopped and turned halfway around.
He stood there on the stairs leading to the second floor, turning his head to gaze at her quietly.
"The exact time Shrek Academy received the intelligence coincides closely with the time you displayed your talent. Be extremely careful!"
"However, the elders' attitudes toward you are now divided."
"Most people adopt a laissez-faire attitude and do not respond actively."
"So even if the others have some ideas, they most likely won't do anything about it."
"You must stay home and avoid any opportunity to take advantage of the situation during this period."
After she finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden, and she looked much more relaxed.
Undoubtedly, for a girl who had been submissive for over a decade, proactively revealing inside information was a betrayal that was extremely difficult to choose.
"your..."
"Wait a little longer!"
"Forehead..."
Ning Huan was interrupted again just as he was about to respond, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
But his next move completely replaced that helplessness with shock in an instant.
As for the reason...
What kind of good person would harm themselves for no reason?
"Holy crap, what the hell are you trying to do? Are you trying to scam me?!"
"I need to collect some blood!"
"I'm not blind! I'm asking why you're taking my blood!"
"Hmm~ I think you should need it."
"I need to...wait a minute! What do you mean?!"
At this moment, Ning Huan could no longer maintain his previous composure. His expression turned extremely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
With a slight movement of his soul power, he was always ready to summon Chen Xin, thus seizing the opportunity to attract the attention of the outside world.
He had never told anyone that he could make contracts with living beings!
Even Ning Hao and the others were the same!
Most importantly, it would be fine if only she knew.
What if Shrek finds out too...?
hiss...
The ending is unimaginable!
Just then, Zhang Lexuan, caught off guard, quickly walked up to Ning Huan with a small bottle full of blood.
Then, with the latter looking completely bewildered, it was forcefully shoved into his hand.
"Don't worry, I only just thought of this secret myself."
"And I won't tell anyone without your permission."
Aren't you afraid I'll forcibly control you?
Feeling the still-warm, dark red blood in his hand, Ning Huan's thoughts were a bit complicated.
His previously anxious expression became indescribable.
"If you can guess that I can [make a contract] with living beings, then you should understand that I have this ability."
'Although the cost is high,' Ning Huan added to himself.
"A contract... that suits you perfectly."
Under his questioning gaze, Zhang Lexuan gave a low evaluation, then solemnly added:
"Since we're collaborators, we're bound to have some leverage over each other, aren't we?"
"Besides, we need an efficient way to communicate, right?"
"...You're quite carefree."
The voice was very soft, so soft that no emotion could be detected in it.
But Zhang Lexuan smiled knowingly.
She knew that she had finally succeeded in adding her own layer to the inexplicable trust that the boy felt in his heart.
after all...
'You want to use me to deal with Shrek Academy, but I also want to borrow your and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's power...'
'I just feel like I've forgotten something... Ah! Ruoruo!'
"No! I have to go! Ruoruo will definitely make a scene if she doesn't see me!"
After saying that, realizing that time was running out, Zhang Lexuan hurriedly turned around and ran towards the door.
Her light steps showed no trace of the exhaustion she had felt just a few hours earlier.
Watching her departing figure, Ning Huan seemed to suddenly realize something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Here's a piece of advice: when hunting for an eighth spirit ring, try to bring as many Title Douluos as possible.
The sudden voice transmission in her ear made Zhang Lexuan pause, leaving her suspended in mid-air.
However, in less than half a breath, she landed again and disappeared completely at the doorway in the blink of an eye.
There was no curiosity, no questions.
Even a moment's pause seemed superfluous.
Only the ever-growing smile at the corners of her mouth constantly expressed the protagonist's happiness.
And so the library, which had been bustling all night, finally returned to its usual quiet.
Ning Huan stood in the middle of the stairs for a long time, then shook his head and chuckled.
"This is truly...an unexpected bonus."
"It's time to make arrangements for Dai Huabin."
...
Three hours later...
"You mean, Xiao Huan arranged for the hidden guards to investigate the whereabouts of the Second Young Master Baihu for some private purposes?"
"But you dare not make a decision on your own, so you keep it from him and come to ask for my opinion?"
"...yes!"
Ning Hao stared expressionlessly at the black-clad Soul Emperor kneeling on one knee below, his eyes growing increasingly cold.
The oppressive feeling from those in power also made him break out in a cold sweat, which soaked through his clothes in just a few breaths.
"Do you remember my previous orders?"
"I will remember it well!"
"Say it again!"
"If...if the Chief gives the order, the entire clan, including the honorifics, must provide full support..."
"Then what are you kneeling here for?! Are you treating my life as a joke?!"
The deep, cursing voice echoed in the office, and the pure killing intent hidden within it terrified the Black-Clad Soul King, who hurriedly knelt down on both knees.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
"Then hurry up and go! If you delay the Chief's important business, I, Ning, will hold you accountable!"
Now, the black-clad Soul Emperor dared not hesitate any longer.
As he slipped out of the room and headed towards the Star Luo Empire, he made up his mind that from now on he must obediently follow the Chief's orders.
Otherwise, given the sect leader's methods...
Even the Nine Clans Elimination Game is considered good!
