Chapter 185 We Are Brothers

"Xu Chuchu?!" Chen Zhaozhi was shocked. "How come you are here in the deep mountains?"

Xu Chuchu didn't answer but asked, "Oh, I didn't expect that our Master Shen would also say one thing and mean another for love, watching the beautiful woman walk away? What was Master Shen thinking?"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Zhaozhi frowned. "Didn't I overhear clearly just now? I was rejecting her."

"So, Chen Zhaozhi, you really are a descendant of a fox demon." Xu Chuchu looked at him, "You can use the fox tribe's charm, and you've had many opportunities to use it, like when you flirted with me before, but you didn't use it. So Miss Xia is still very special to you, right?"

Chen Zhaozhi turned away, his shackles clanking. "I don't understand the way you women think. I use it when I want to, and I don't use it when I don't think it's necessary. It's not as complicated as you say."

Xu Chuchu didn't let him go: "You could have just pretended to lie to her, waited for her to save you, and then found a chance to abandon her. Why didn't you do it? Why are you acting like a gentleman again?"

"Don't provoke me, Master Xu." Chen Zhaozhi suddenly straightened up, "You have already gotten rid of that lunatic Xiao Yu. These things have nothing to do with you anymore."

Xu Chuchu nodded.

She had only escaped from that man for two or three days, and yet she knew it so accurately while Chen Zhaozhi was still in custody. It seemed that she was not as miserable as she seemed.

"Or do you want to know why I deliberately provoked him and made him sick?" Chen Zhaozhi said, "I'm sorry, Xiangshi Xu, I can't tell you this yet, but you may know in two months."

Xu Chuchu shook her head again: "You think too much. I don't want to know. His affairs have nothing to do with me anymore."

She calmly took out the Floating Life Umbrella from behind her and pointed it at Chen Zhaozhi's heart: "But you should pay the price for all the sins you have caused me."

Chen Zhaozhi frowned for the first time today.

He could speak so freely in front of Xia Wanqing because he was sure that Xia Wanqing had feelings for him and was afraid of implicating her father, so she would not hurt him.

But Xu Chuchu is different. She has no background and no ties. Now, for some strange reason, she is alone. If she really attacks him, even the emperor may not be able to find out about her.

"Master Xu, that's enough." He said quietly, "You used my umbrella, kept my cat, owed me money, and now you want to kill me?"

Xu Chuchu paused and looked at the floating umbrella in her hand: "Your umbrella?"

She quickly remembered how she got the umbrella. She stole it from the villain who was extracting the souls of the villagers while she was investigating a case in Wu Chang Village.

"So it was you who fought with me at the bottom of the well that day. No wonder you seemed so familiar to me the moment I saw you later."

Sure enough, a series of cases that occurred in various places, such as the sacrifice of the Dragon King and the soul refining in the ghost village, were all inseparable from the master and disciple of the great national teacher. They used their huge network of relationships to do evil everywhere.

Chen Zhaozhi said, "My target has always been Xiao Yu. I have always been generous to you. You were hurt by Xiao Yu mainly because you didn't know him well. It's not appropriate to blame me for everything."

"That makes some sense." Xu Chuchu touched his chin, "I'm almost confused by you."

"But there's nothing wrong with ridding the people of harm, right?" She pressed the tip of her umbrella closer. "Why are you killing innocent people everywhere and refining souls to gain power? What's the connection between the Jade Cicada Mark and the structure of the Imperial Palace? Tell me!"

"What a righteous girl." Chen Zhaozhi smiled and said, "In this respect, you and Xia Wanqing are really similar. This shows that we are also not destined to be together. A righteous girl will not tolerate people like me."

"Stop talking nonsense." Xu Chuchu directly stabbed Shen Zhaozhi's shoulder with the tip of the umbrella, and also brought some spiritual power, which made him grimace in pain.

"Oh, it's okay to tell you now." Chen Zhaozhi gritted his teeth and looked up, "Want to know why we are gathering our strength? Do you know what the relationship is between me and your Xiao Yu? Do you know why everyone compares me to him?"

Xu Chuchu frowned: "Is it the relationship between the two freaks in the capital?"

"No." Chen Zhaozhi opened his eyes wide, "He and I are brothers!"

Xu Chuchu was slightly surprised, recalling the family situation that the man had mentioned to her.

They have four brothers, besides himself, there is the eldest prince, the second prince, and the youngest third prince...

"Are you the third one?" Xu Chuchu blurted out.

"Clever." Chen Zhaozhi grabbed the bars of the prison van. "Don't you think it's ridiculous that there are men in this world who change their own son's name and surname and send him to be someone else's child? He had four children in total, but he gave two away. Just because one had a strange disease and the other was the child of a vixen, he tarnished his royal status."

"How ironic." He snorted coldly, "If he hadn't succumbed to temptation and had an affair with the fox demon, how could I be here?"

"So you are plotting a rebellion." Xu Chuchu frowned slightly.
