Ye Jin couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and couldn't help but whisper to me, "Do you think Sun Xiaomei is mentally ill?"
"Nothing's wrong!"
Xie Jingwen, who was struggling, did not see the hidden murderous intent in Sun Xiaomei's eyes, but her eyes did not escape my eyes. Sun Xiaomei deliberately catered to Xie Jingwen because she was afraid that he would kill her to silence her afterwards. The more submissive she was, the safer she would be.
However, if Xie Jingwen touches Lin Jingyuan, he will be close to death.
Xie Jingwen looked at Lin Jingyuan for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "I still feel unsure. If the Lin family witch was so easy to subdue, she wouldn't be a witch anymore."
"What's wrong with a witch?" Sun Xiaomei said, "No matter how evil she is, she is still a woman after all. Don't treat her as a witch. Just treat her as a woman and conquer her, isn't that enough?"
"Will this work?" Xie Jingwen still didn't dare to do it.
Sun Xiaomei was so angry that she slapped him hard: "Didn't I want to kill you just now? Now I am still at your mercy. Besides, what happened between us may not be seen by others, but it will definitely not escape the eyes of the demon girl Lin. Aren't you afraid of Sun Yifan?"
Xie Jingwen was so frightened that he shuddered, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead like water. When he looked at Sun Xiaomei, his lips were trembling to the point that he couldn't speak.
Sun Xiaomei said helplessly: "Don't you have a muscle softener in your hand? What are you afraid of? If she insists on not obeying, will you still be gentle with her?"
Sun Xiaomei wanted to kill people to silence them! She not only wanted to kill Jie Jingwen, but also everyone present. As long as everyone here died, she would still be innocent!
What Sun Xiaomei feared most was Lin Jingyuan, so she set her first target on Lin Jingyuan.
Xie Jingwen gritted his teeth and walked towards the demon girl Lin. I saw him reaching his hands to Lin Jingyuan's collar, but he stepped back a few steps as if he was stung by a scorpion, screaming: "She... She's fine..."
Lin Jingyuan smiled and sat up from the ground: "I'm sorry to interrupt your love."
Sun Xiaomei said sternly: "Kill her, quickly!"
When Xie Jingwen turned around to look for his weapon, Lin Jingyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, you've been watching for so long, don't you want to come out and say a few words?"
Did Lin Jingyuan know that I was upstairs a long time ago
While I was slightly startled, Lin Jingyuan said, "I wasn't as focused as the other two. Ye Jin's voice was a little loud, so I vaguely heard some of it."
I knew I couldn't hide anymore, so I just jumped down from the building with Ye Jin and Xiao Baitang.
When Sun Xiaomei saw me, her face turned extremely pale: "You guys teamed up to plot against me?"
Lin Jingyuan smiled and said, "It's not us who schemed against you, but you schemed against yourself. If you weren't so eager to succeed and took the lead in sidelining me, maybe you wouldn't have ended up like this. You underestimated Wu Zhao."
Xie Jingwen said anxiously: "Wu Zhao, kill her! If you kill Lin Jingyuan, we will cooperate with you! The sorcerers we brought with us all obey us. If we die, they will never let you go."
Lin Jingyuan said calmly, "Mr. Wu, are you interested in cooperating with me?"
I hesitated for a moment and said, "We can cooperate."
Since I entered the ghost realm, I have suffered from the lack of information. Although we have not suffered any losses, we have always been at a disadvantage. Lin Jingyuan happens to have resources that I don't have.
Sun Xiaomei said anxiously: "You can't cooperate with her, she wants to trick you into calculating Zhan Wuxiang's location!"
I also know the purpose of Lin Jingyuan's cooperation with me, but if you think about it from another angle, if there is no Lin Jingyuan, I will also have to calculate the location of Zhan Wuxiang. I suspect that if we don't break the core of the ghost domain, we will have to play the life and death game with the "God of Death" until we can't hold on any longer.
Lin Jingyuan seemed not to hear what Sun Xiaomei said, and raised her right hand with a smile. I hesitated for a moment before raising my hand to clap with her.
Sun Xiaomei's expression suddenly changed: "Lin Jingyuan, have you already calculated that we will kill each other? You deliberately let us undermine your power, in fact, you are showing weakness to Wu Zhao. Only when Wu Zhao feels that you can't threaten him, he will cooperate with you?"
Lin Jingyuan smiled slightly and said nothing, but my heart suddenly sank.
I refused to cooperate with Lin Jingyuan at first, because of the disparity in strength between the two sides. Once Lin Jingyuan turned hostile, the three of us would be trapped. If we didn't cooperate, we might have a chance to escape, but if we cooperated, we would be doomed.
But now it’s different. Lin Jingyuan and I both know Sun Xiaomei’s secret. Sun Xiaomei dare not act rashly, and the sorcerers under her have to obey her. The strength comparison between Lin Jingyuan and I has reached a delicate balance, which is the basis of our cooperation.
If Lin Jingyuan showed weakness to the enemy from the beginning, handed over the command power to me, let me clash with Sun Xiaomei, and then she would profit from it in the end, then how would Lin Jingyuan know that I would definitely be able to defeat Sun Xiaomei and turn the situation back to a draw
I carefully recalled the process of my fight with Sun Xiaomei. Lin Jingyuan did not add fuel to the fire or secretly help. She was just waiting for an outcome in the game.
I looked at Lin Jingyuan with a more solemn look. The latter smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, I don't think Madam Wu's words will affect our cooperation, right?"
I nodded slightly, looked at Sun Xiaomei and said, "Sun Xiaomei, the mess between you and Jie Jingwen has nothing to do with me. As long as you don't do anything in the ghost realm, I won't bother to publicize your affairs. After we leave the ghost realm, we still have to settle the grudges between us."
I said in a cold voice: "You also heard that Ye Jin has your video. If you dare to trip me up in secret, I guarantee that these things will be passed to Sun Yifan. So, you'd better not bargain with me."
Although Sun Xiaomei is a woman, she is not the kind of woman who would have naive fantasies about anyone. She naturally knows the interests involved, and she also knows that talking to me more would only bring humiliation to herself, so she simply nodded and acknowledged it without saying a word.
Xie Jingwen also hid behind Sun Xiaomei obediently and dared not show his face. I didn't even glance at him and said, "You guys should detoxify your men! You can come up with any excuse you want. It doesn't matter if you put the blame on me, as long as you can explain it."
Lin Jingyuan made a "please" gesture: "Mr. Wu, should we have a good talk now?"
I took Lin Jingyuan upstairs and sat down. He said bluntly, "I need you to figure out the location of the ghost domain center. Can you do it?"
I hesitated and said, "It's hard to say. I still know nothing about the ghost realm, and it's too difficult to find the center."
Lin Jingyuan nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit difficult to calculate the center directly. However, it should not be difficult for you to calculate the position of a person, right?"
"Who do you want to target? Xue Ling'er?" The only person I could think of was the traitor Xue Ling'er from Xuan Jing Si.
"Yes, it's her!" Lin Jingyuan nodded, "According to our speculation, Xue Ling'er is very likely in the center now. If we find her, we will also find the secret realm left by Zhan Wuxiang."
Lin Jingyuan took out a red cloth package from his body: "It contains not only Xue Ling'er's birth date, but also her clothes and hair. If I give these things to you, you should be able to find her, right?"
I looked up at Lin Jingyuan and said, "You seem to have forgotten the relationship between Xue Ling'er and me."
Xueling'er and I have never met each other, but there is a relationship between us that is like that of Dou Ma.
Zhan Qing is Dou Ma's adopted son, and Xue Ling'er is Zhan Qing's confidante. If you think about it carefully, I should call Xue Ling'er sister-in-law or sister-in-law. I led the people from Xuan Jingsi to find Xue Ling'er, how should I explain it to Dou Ma
Lin Jingyuan smiled noncommittally and changed the subject: "Since it is a cooperation, we should also talk about the issue of profit distribution. If we get the "Nuxiang Zhenjie", how should it be distributed?"
I raised my eyes to look at Lin Jingyuan: "I want to make a copy and give it to you. In addition, I want to defeat Duan Yunfei and take first place in the Celebrity Contest."
Lin Jingyuan is smart, so she can guess my intention. If I give up the original, she has to give up the ranking of the opponent, which is fair. Besides, I don't want to bring trouble to Jiuchong Pavilion because of holding a copy of "The True Explanation of Wuxiang".
Lin Jingyuan nodded and said, "Mr. Wu is really generous. I agree. I can help you bear the consequences of killing Duan Yunfei. However, I also have a condition..."
Lin Jingyuan said to me very seriously: "That is, you cannot kill Sun Xiaomei and Jie Jingwen, and you must also swear not to reveal today's secret."
I knew Lin Jingyuan would have conditions, but I didn't expect her to make such a request.
I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sun Xiaomei and Xie Jingwen hate me to the core. If I let them go, it would be like seeking my own death. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will never agree to this condition."
Lin Jingyuan gently moved a copper coin from my sky-covering formation with his fingers and cast his gaze towards the distant staircase: "Fifth Madam, please come out and talk."
Sun Xiaomei, with a strange look on her face, came over from the stairs with Jie Jingwen. Sun Xiaomei's reaction was within my expectations. It would be abnormal if she was completely at ease with me having a secret conversation with Lin Jingyuan.
Sun Xiaomei came over and whispered, "Thank you."
Regardless of whether Sun Xiaomei's thanks were sincere or deliberate, I could see that she herself did not expect Lin Jingyuan to make such a request to me.
Lin Jingyuan moved the copper coin back to its original place, and then said calmly: "You don't need to thank me. I am not trying to save you, but to save myself. Sun Yifan deliberately sent you here to kill you."
