Forcibly collecting the guide element would cause serious damage to the guide's body, and in serious cases, it would destroy the guide's spiritual sea. But Xie Qi was not a guide, so he was not afraid at all.

Zhou Chengde's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his forehead were clearly visible. He looked like a sentry in extreme danger, about to lose control.

At this time, a full minute had passed, but Zhou Chengde did not feel the slightest bit of relief or comfort.

On the contrary, the anxiety within him grew stronger, like a raging fire that was difficult to contain. He stared wide-eyed, incredulous to find that he hadn't absorbed even a single ounce of Xie Qi's Guidance Energy.

Zhou Chengde asked in shock and anger, "You... aren't you known as a top guide? Why is this happening?"

Facing Zhou Chengde's question, Xie Qi let out a sarcastic smile. "You've put in so much effort, but have you ever thought that you'd end up losing at your own hands?"

Zhou Chengde: "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Xie Qi gestured to 948. 948 nodded, and then lifted the restriction on Xie Qi's face that was aimed at Zhou Chengde.

Then, Xie Qi stared straight at Zhou Chengde and said slowly, "Don't you think I look familiar?"

At this moment, without any restrictions, Zhou Chengde suddenly remembered that this face was very familiar, but he didn't have this feeling when he saw Xie Qi's face before.

Xie Qi: "Zhou He is not your son, right? Is your biological son a guide or a sentinel? It's so hard to guess."

Xie Qi's words made Zhou Chengde freeze in his tracks. He looked at Xie Qi, who looked very similar to Wen An when he was young, and a guess immediately surfaced in his mind, "Impossible... Impossible..."

Xie Qi: "What's impossible? I'm the child you secretly swapped with me back then. What? I'm a sentinel, are you disappointed? Didn't you just bring me back?"

As Xie Qi spoke, he turned his wrist, grabbed the vine and pulled it, and the vine broke instantly.
