Chapter 269 Being Deceived



Ying Zheng's mind was already in turmoil, but his face showed only anger.

After seeing his anger, Zhao Jun felt a little better, so he began to comfort him.

"It's alright, my king. Anything that has been foreseen can be resolved. Now that you have killed Xu Fu, the things that happened later will not happen again."

"So, if you have any questions about this in the future, it would be better to inform me so that I can help the king to identify it."

"Can you promise to foresee things for me throughout my life?"

Ying Zheng had an expressionless face but his eyes were terrifyingly bright as he stared at her.

Zhao Jun was stunned.

What Ying Zheng was actually worried about was that Zhao Jun would leave as suddenly as she appeared.

Can Mr. Zhao guarantee it?

Of course not.

"I can't guarantee it. This world belongs to the king, not to me."

Zhao Jun said this as if jokingly.

"So of course it still depends on the king himself to govern."

"But I promise that as long as I'm there, I will help the king foresee the day, and when it's time for me to leave, I will also report to the king."

Zhao Jun spoke with a smile as bright as a flower, trying hard to dispel the heaviness.

Ying Zheng was silent for a while, then slowly nodded, accepting the answer.

"Oh, my king, you can deal with Xu Fu if you want, but keep the other two alchemists. They are still useful."

Zhao Jun quickly changed the subject and talked about other things.

"What use are they?"

Ying Zheng also changed the topic and asked the same question as Zhao Jun said.

"Although the pills made by these alchemists are not good things, they can still have some other effects as long as they are not taken orally."

She briefly talked to Ying Zheng about the relationship between alchemy and chemistry.

"That's about it, so I want to keep them and let them study them. It can be regarded as a way to recycle waste."

She planned to find some chemistry-related books for the two guys and let them stay in the palace to study them carefully.

"Alright, I'll get someone to watch over them. If they can't figure anything out, they'll be torn into pieces."

Ying Zheng spoke lightly, but if the alchemists heard the meaning of his words, they would feel a chill in their hearts.

With such a whip following behind them, those people had no choice but to try their best.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Afterwards, Zhao Jun remembered the main reason for coming here and reported to him the progress of the school during this period.

After saying this, she prepared to take her leave and return to the palace.

But before she left, Ying Zheng couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Mr. Zhao, Xu Fu's longevity elixir is inedible. Do you have any news on the elixir here?"

Zhao Jun paused, it seemed that Ying Zheng was still worried about this matter.

She turned around and looked at Ying Zheng quietly. He was now in his prime, but he was still so concerned about immortality. She really didn't know what to say.

Ying Zheng asked with a feigned expression, concealing his inner anxiety.

"Your Majesty, I will do my best. Don't worry, I have always kept this matter in mind."

Zhao Jun expressed his feelings to Ying Zheng with a firm look in his eyes, and then left in a hurry.

Sun Cheng, who was guarding outside, lowered his head and glanced at her hurriedly leaving back.

I don’t know what this gentleman just said to make the king so angry.

After such a long delay, it was already dark when she returned to the palace.

After having dinner with Qingliu, he went straight into the house and lay down.

Qingliu thought she was a little strange, but didn't ask any more questions.

Zhao Jun lay down on the bed, but did not rest.

She was talking to the mirror.

In the past, when she had nothing to do, she would occasionally joke with the mirror. If she was busy, she would ignore it for ten days or half a month, and the mirror would not actively disturb her.

So sometimes Zhao Jun feels that the mirror has a very low presence.

But Ying Zheng's words today suddenly made her remember.

The reason why I can come here is entirely because of this system.

She seemed to have overlooked this point as she was previously focused on infrastructure and the economy.

"Mirror, when I first came here, I seemed to have asked you about going back. Is it true that you told me that I couldn't go back?"

"So am I going to stay here until I die?"

"What about the system? Will it continue to accumulate points and unlock worlds like it does now?"

Although what Zhao Jun does now basically does not require opening the world, she is almost only in contact with the modern world.

She has no attachment to the modern world so she doesn't care where she stays.

What's more, when she first arrived, there was a lot of chaos and war, so she didn't ask too many questions.

But now, she has been here for several years, and she suddenly has the urge to get to the bottom of things.

What will happen to me and the system in the future? Will it continue to be the same as it is now?

Zhao Jun was very upset, so she planned to find a small mirror to clear her mind.

"You finally asked this question. I thought you didn't want to know at all."

Little Mirror said in a sly tone.

"What do you mean? Is there something going on?"

Zhao Junyi sat up from the bed.

"Why didn't you tell me before? Wouldn't you tell me if I didn't ask you?"

She began to blame the mirror.

The mirror was speechless and ignored her questions and continued to explain.

"When I told you there was no going back, I was actually lying to you."

"ah?"

Zhao Jun’s head is full of question marks?

The mirror continued speaking in an innocent tone.

"You had just arrived at that time, and I was afraid you wouldn't want to stay, so I told a little lie."

Little Mirror said this without any embarrassment.

Zhao Jun was numb. She wanted to hear how many more lies were told to her.

"There was no other way. My energy was too low at that time, and my contribution value was even negative. I was afraid that if I told you how to leave, you would just run away without saying a word."

Little Mirror: Justified and confident.

Zhao Jun: Haha, you never thought I would really run away.

"So what's the specific method of leaving? Is it simple?"

She guessed something from what the small mirror had just said.

"Well, specifically, it's like this. When you first arrive, if you want to leave, you can just die. However, you still can't return to your original world. Instead, you will automatically choose a world to land in. And I will still accompany you, so you still have to accumulate contribution points."

"You're talking about something so stupid. I don't think you would have done it at the time."

The mirror continued confidently.

Zhao Jun couldn't help but nodded. What it said made some sense. If you die once and then wear it again, you may not end up in the same place. It's not worth it.

"No, no, don't interrupt me. Now, is this still the way to leave?"

She thought that it shouldn't happen, this method was too stupid.

"It's definitely different now. After all, our contribution value is higher."

The little mirror held its head high, feeling quite proud.

Zhao Jun lay on the bed with his eyes closed, feeling very unhappy as he listened to the mirror's smug laughter.

Its happiness is based on its own hard work.

"Tell me quickly, what is the method now?"
