Chapter 108 Jiangcheng 41 No Silver Here 32

Wen Li had to admit that sometimes one person's strength is much weaker than that of a group of people.

Just like yesterday, she searched all day but couldn't find a place that even knew the name of, but today Zhao Sicheng sent people to find it, and they found the place in less than half a day.

When Wen Li received the news, she was playing with her second master in the backyard.

She was about to walk away when the dog tugged at her skirt, preventing her from leaving.

Wen Li squatted down to comfort it: "Alright, Second Master, I'll take you with me today."

As soon as Wen Li finished speaking and stood up, a short arrow covered in black energy flew towards her.

The short sword flew even faster, and Wen Li quickly dodged to the side. The short arrow flew backward, but before she could relax, the short arrow suddenly multiplied from one to many, changed direction, and continued to fly towards her.

Wen Li waved her hand, and the Xue Ling Blade seemed to appear out of thin air. But before she could charge forward, a person suddenly appeared in front of her.

Shen Yingsi stood still and raised his hand, causing all the short arrows to change direction and pierce the wall behind him. The entire solid and tall wall instantly corroded, emitting a huge plume of smoke.

"Damn, that's so cool!"

"Damn, that's way too pretentious!"

Si Xiaxia and Wen Li both sighed in unison. The collapse of the wall also startled the others in the backyard.

"What happened?"

Several servants behind the wall peered over at them.

Suddenly, the Second Master next to Wen Li shouted behind her. Wen Li quickly walked back. At this moment, Zhao Wenbai appeared out of nowhere.

Second Master also rushed up and barked at him.

Before Wen Li could figure out what was going on, Zhao Wenbai, ignoring the dog barking at him, started yelling exaggeratedly.

"What's going on! Heavens, this absolutely couldn't have been done by anyone from the Zhao family! Could it be that a demon has infiltrated the Zhao residence?! That's impossible! We have countless demon hunters guarding the entire manor day and night, how could a demon possibly infiltrate? But judging from this power, the demon's cultivation level must be extremely high! Oh! I know, it's because this demon's cultivation level is too high that we didn't notice it. But as a subject, I should be protecting His Highness! But now... I've truly failed! Waaah..."

After jumping and shouting in front of the rotting wall, Zhao Wenbai seemed to suddenly realize that Shen Yingsi and Wen Li were there, and turned around and knelt down in front of them.

He cried out, tears streaming down his face, "Your Highness, I am old and frail. Though I have done my duty, a demon still managed to infiltrate. Rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will give you an explanation. Your Highness..."

As soon as Zhao Wenbai knelt down, the servants who had run over to watch the commotion also knelt down.

Wen Li looked around, completely bewildered.

"Host, what's wrong with him?"

"They must be trying to cover up their misdeeds."

Wen Li stepped forward, took the Second Master's hand, and knelt down to comfort him.

"So this matter has nothing to do with Lord Zhao. I thought your Zhao family had some misunderstandings about colluding with demons."

Zhao Wenbai reacted strongly: "That's impossible! Miss Wen, you can't just say things like that! Do you think our family is like..."

"Since that's not the case, if you can't hand over that demon by tomorrow, does Lord Zhao dare to offer his head in return?"

Shen Yingsi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, but Zhao Wenbai dared not answer, only burying his head and trembling silently.

The backyard was already remote, and there were only two or three servants. They were already considered inferior, and seeing this scene, they all wished they could disappear.

No one dared to speak. Wen Li stood up, holding the Second Master.

"A monster wants to kill me, and someone wants to help the monster kill me. Shen Yingsi, what do you suggest we do?"

Shen Yingsi smiled and said, "First, we'll skin that man alive and expose his collusion with demons. Then none of his people will escape. That demon will probably not care about him."

Zhao Wenbai swallowed hard, his mind racing.

"That demon might not have gone far. I'll go after it now!"

After saying that, Zhao Wenbai staggered to his feet, turned around and ran, as if some ferocious wild beast was chasing after him.

Seeing Zhao Wenbai leave, the servants around him looked at each other and quietly followed him away.

"It's a miracle that someone so brainless has survived this long."

Shen Yingsi looked at her and said gently, "It's easy to resolve this quietly. Ali, do you want me to help you?"

Wen Li turned her head and looked him up and down, her tone somewhat warning, "Killing people diminishes one's merits. Gods cannot do bad things. Bad things should be done by bad people."

Shen Yingsi's expression remained unchanged: "I just wanted to help Ali, is it wrong to do good deeds?"

“Sure, why not? Helping others is a good thing. You can investigate this matter, but from now on, you handle the demon-slaying, and I'll handle the human-killing. I have something to do, so I'll be going now.”

After saying this, Wen Li walked forward, but Shen Yingsi spoke up again: "So, A Li's goal is to make me a god. Don't worry, A Li, I will obediently listen to A Li. Where are you going now, A Li? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Wen Li couldn't help but turn to look at him. Despite being 1.9 meters tall, he looked quite well-behaved with his head down and a smile on his face.

"No need, I'm used to doing things alone."

After speaking, Wen Li quickly left, but the person behind her put away her smile and covered her left eye with her left hand, seemingly lost in thought.

Only after they had gone quite a distance did Si Xiaxia dare to ask, "Host, you see he likes you and listens to you now. So why not let him help you? If you ask, he can even help you investigate the Jiang family's case. He is the chosen one of destiny; if he doesn't destroy the heavens and the earth, the heavens still favor him."

Hearing Si Xiaxia's words, Wen Li was not happy at all; instead, she frowned.

"He's so obedient, just because he likes you? He's such a strange person."

Si Xiaxia explained, "Because his character is based on selflessness, someone who has almost no selfish desires. According to the information, he has no hobbies, no favorite foods or items, no particular favorite people, and his desire level is very low. Everything he does is to save the world. But that was before. Now, he only has you in his heart. So, everything he does now should be for you."

Second Master kept rubbing against Wen Li, and Wen Li slapped Second Master's head hard. Don't think she didn't feel it; if she hadn't hugged Second Master just now, he would have moved closer to Shen Ying Si.

She can't understand such selfless people, and probably never will.

"I don't need that. I can handle my own affairs without relying on anyone."

The people in the training ground had no idea what was happening in the backyard.

Inside the Zhao family's martial arts training ground, a platform is being built in preparation for tomorrow's general election.

Zhao Sicheng stood dejectedly to one side, while Xie Xiao comforted him.

"Si Cheng, cheer up! Although we two can't compare to Fourth Brother, as long as we're sincere, how could we not get married?"

Zhao Sicheng glanced at him and said, "You don't understand. I haven't spoken to Mingzhu for three days. But you're so dignified and have such an extraordinary demeanor, how come you're over twenty and still not married... uh, not married?"

Seeing that no one was coming towards them, Xie Xiao finally spoke up: "They just didn't like it."

Zhao Sicheng glanced at him and instantly felt less upset. Even if they didn't want him as a son-in-law, he could still keep trying.

"It's okay, given time, she'll see your true feelings."

"Yes! You're right!"

Zhao Wenbai suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pulled Zhao Sicheng aside and said, "I'm leaving the election to you. Your second uncle has run into some trouble and needs to go out and lay low for a while."

Without waiting for Zhao Sicheng's reply, he flew away on his sword.

Zhao Sicheng was left standing there, looking completely bewildered. What was wrong?
