Chapter 431 Breach of Contract
Li Er grabbed Zhao Lan's arm: "Wait, you can't take her away!"
Zhao Lan looked at her coldly: "She's already been killed by you, what more do you want?!"
Li Er didn't speak, but reached out and placed his hand on the side of Sun Fang's "corpse" neck, and indeed he couldn't feel a pulse.
But she was still worried, so she took out a device that looked like a scanner.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Lan immediately shielded the "corpse" behind her, saying, "Can't you let her rest in peace?"
Lear glanced at Meng Qingyin and said slowly, "You don't mind if I examine her, do you? After all, you lied to me before, and I'm once bitten, twice shy. She has no wounds. How did you kill her?"
Meng Qingyin shrugged, looking indifferent: "I have a kind of poison that is extremely rare and deadly. If it weren't for Zheng Yi and his gang eyeing it covetously, I wouldn't have gone to such lengths. But if you're worried, you can have it checked."
Zhao Lan suddenly broke down, covering her ears and shouting, "Enough! Stop talking!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Er scanned Sun Fang's "corpse" with the instrument and found that she was indeed dead, which put his mind at ease.
“Actually, I didn’t mean for you to kill Sun Fang. I just wanted you to teach her a small lesson. I didn’t expect you to…” Li Er patted Zhao Lan’s shoulder, pretending to regret, and said, “But what’s done is done, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Please accept my condolences.”
Meng Qingyin sneered inwardly.
Even at this point, Lear is still pretending to be innocent.
Zhao Lan shook off her hand, "Get out! I won't cooperate with you anymore!"
She picked up Sun Fang's "corpse" and staggered away.
Li Er smiled contentedly.
Meng Qingyin looked at her: "Shouldn't we keep our promise?"
"An agreement? What agreement?" Lear picked at his ear and asked lazily, "Did we ever have an agreement?"
Meng Qingyin knew she was about to back out. "Aren't you afraid I'll expose this?"
Lear: "What happened? You misunderstood and even killed an innocent player. What does this have to do with me? What good will it do you to expose this?"
She patted Meng Qingyin on the shoulder, "Do you really think I'd be so magnanimous as to forgive you for deceiving me? Consider this a lesson for you. Remember this: don't try to outsmart me in the future."
Her plan had to be foolproof. If Meng Qingyin hadn't deceived her and slowed down her search, she might have already met the God Lord.
Meng Qingyin deserves to die!
If Zhang Yan hadn't tried so hard to save her worthless life, she would have gotten rid of this obstacle long ago, and there wouldn't have been any chance for her to bargain with her.
She would never sell the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm to Meng Qingyin.
...
Meng Qingyin returned empty-handed, but it wasn't entirely without success; at least they saved Fang Jie's life.
As soon as they got back to the train, Zhao Lan asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did Lear become suspicious again?"
Meng Qingyin smiled and said, "Your acting was very good just now; she didn't suspect anything."
Zhao Lan: "Actually, I really couldn't help but punch her just now. I was worried that I had overacted."
“Well done,” Meng Qingyin gritted her teeth. “You should have punched her a couple more times.”
Zhang Yan leaned closer: "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so angry?"
How could Meng Qingyin not be angry?
"Lear broke the contract; she never intended to give me the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm!"
"That bastard!" Zhang Yan stood up and walked out. "I'm going to settle the score with her!"
Zhao Lan tried to stop him, but Meng Qingyin stopped her, saying, "Let him make a scene. If Zhang Yan starts acting up, Li Er might not be able to handle him."
Zhao Lan silently withdrew her hand.
"By the way, is Sister Fang awake?" Meng Qingyin asked.
Zhao Lan pointed to the inner carriage, "Not yet."
Meng Qingyin: "So what are your plans for the future?"
It's not the same map as before. The target driving distance can no longer be purchased with gold coins. Fangjie has to complete the required target driving distance every day. She can no longer stay with Zheng Yi.
Zhao Lan: "I think Fang-jie should continue to follow me."
This way, she could also protect Fangjie; she really didn't feel comfortable letting Fangjie act alone.
Meng Qingyin: "What about Li Er? Aren't you afraid that Li Er will suddenly contact you and discover Sister Fang?"
Zhao Lan's gaze deepened. "I always felt that Lear didn't need me that much."
Meng Qingyin asked in confusion, "How could we not need you? You are also one of the people in the prophecy. Lear needs you to awaken that man."
Zhao Lan thought for a moment and said, "That's right, Li Er needs me, but compared to Zhang Yan and Lin Qian, she doesn't need me as urgently. Just now, when I told Li Er that I would no longer cooperate with her, she didn't react at all. I guess my only value to her is to awaken that man. Other than that, Li Er doesn't need me at all. So, it's actually safer for Sister Fang to be by my side."
Meng Qingyin was unaware of the relationship between Li Er and Zhao Lan, but since Zhao Lan had noticed Li Er's cold attitude towards her, it meant that Li Er indeed did not care about Zhao Lan.
In other words, Zhao Lan is not of much value to Lear.
Zhao Lan has no ability, and Lear once said that she is special...
Could it be...?
A guess suddenly flashed through Meng Qingyin's mind.
Is Zhao Lan dispensable in Lear's plan?
That doesn't make sense either. If Zhao Lan was dispensable, why would Li Er specifically seek her out? And why would he be so determined to eliminate Fang Jie, who was by Zhao Lan's side?
The only possibility is that whether Zhao Lan lives or dies will not affect Lear's plans!
Even Lear and that god were more inclined to believe that Zhao Lan would die!
A person who is completely unguarded about human nature and never hesitates to lend a helping hand to others will find it difficult to survive in this survival game.
But the god still didn't grant Zhao Lan any abilities, so wasn't his intention quite obvious?
He doesn't need to live a "good" life.
Meng Qingyin was startled by her own guess. If that were true, wouldn't Zhao Lan also be in danger one day?
What about Sister Fang?
How will Fang Jie affect Lear's plans?
In any case, Fang Jie is out of danger for the time being; it is Zhao Lan who is in danger!
Meng Qingyin told Zhao Lan her guess, but Zhao Lan just smiled and said, "As long as Sister Fang is alright, that's all that matters."
Perhaps, only death could free her from that shackle.
But she wouldn't easily commit suicide, because she had promised Fangjie that she would live well, and that they both had to live well. It was a promise between them, and she wouldn't break it.
