"I'll go with you."
Watching Ling leave, Chen Xin spoke up from behind.
Now that they have already cooperated, how could he sit idly by and do nothing?
A smile flashed in Zero's eyes as she turned to look at Chen Xin and said, "Okay."
...
The two arrived at the entrance of the wall together, with Ling in front and Chenxin behind.
The people outside finally saw people and became somewhat restless.
Two of them seemed to be talking about something. After a while, one of them looked at Zero and said:
"We mean no harm, we just want to ask you some questions."
"What's up?"
Zero stepped forward and asked.
The person who spoke glanced at the person next to him, who nodded, then looked back at Zero and replied:
Has anyone else been here?
Chen Xin's heart tightened, but Ling remained expressionless and replied:
"No."
The man glanced at Zero suspiciously, but seeing that Zero allowed him to look him over, he immediately believed him to some extent.
He looked around at the walls and trees, and asked:
"Are you someone who lives here?"
He nodded at midnight.
The man continued:
"Could you please ask your master to come out for a talk?"
Zero was dressed very plainly, and the man assumed that Zero was just a gatekeeper disciple like those in their sect, so he hastily asked Zero to inform his master.
Zero smiled and said:
"Just tell me what you need to say. There's no such thing as a master here."
The man glanced at the person next to him, and finally took out an object from behind him—a jade pendant that was glowing.
He handed the jade pendant to Zero and said:
"Alright, please accept this communication jade pendant. If anyone else comes here, please let us know."
Zero did not reach for the jade pendant.
What are these people really thinking...?
The man was annoyed that Ling hadn't accepted the jade pendant and was about to lose his temper when the person next to him pulled him back to his senses and made way for him.
A person walked up to Zero, a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
He glanced at Zero, took the jade pendant from the man's hand, and said:
"Young man, we mean no harm and we are not here to disturb your lives."
"I know our arrival was abrupt and may have caused you some trouble, but please rest assured, we will leave soon."
He paused, then showed the jade pendant to Zero again, and said:
"Before we leave, we just wanted to ask you for a small favor, something that's really easy for you. You won't refuse, will you, young man?"
He's gone this far, and he's shown all the proper politeness and attitude. I'm sure this person won't refuse anymore.
You see, as members of the three major sects, they've never spoken so softly before. They hope this person in front of them is sensible, otherwise...
Zero seemed to ponder for a moment, then looked at the speaker and smiled:
"Sure, I'm happy to help, but I have one condition."
But he still didn't reach out to take the jade pendant.
Just now, Chen Xin had already told him via telepathy that the jade pendant was used by the Daoguang Sect to control people's hearts. Once he accepted it, he would be controlled by them and become a spy for the Daoguang Sect in the human realm.
Wow, that's quite a clever plan!
A glint of light flashed in Zero's eyes as he pretended to negotiate terms with the other party.
Sure enough, when the other party saw that Zero had started negotiating, they generously offered their terms:
"Tell me, gold and silver treasures or miraculous elixirs?"
Zero shook his head and slowly said:
"I would like to know the purpose and objective of your trip."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression of the person who had spoken earlier changed drastically, and the others also gripped their whisks tightly, creating a sense of oppression in the space.
Zero didn't say anything, just stood there calmly, as if his words had just come out off the cuff.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Zero as if trying to see through him.
Ling let him look her over without saying a word.
Finally, the man waved behind him, and the air returned to calm.
He looked intently at Zero and said:
"Can."
