Chapter 349 He Wants to Betray Me?
Master Chongyue asked Ji Xinghan, disguised as Grandma Yuanbao, to pass on a message for him.
After listening, Ji Xinghan made up his mind, but remained motionless and said, "What are you worried about? Yingyue's health is so poor, she can't possibly end the virus by herself."
She thought that since she couldn't get some information from Niu Ma and Lu Ye Yingyue, she would try to find out from Chongyue.
Chongyue snorted: "I did this just in case. Yingyue really might be able to end the virus. Even if she can't, she can at least achieve 80%. However, she can forget about losing her life."
Ji Xinghan's heart sank.
Is it that serious?
According to Chongyue, Yingyue might not succeed tomorrow, but she will definitely lose her life.
Chongyue asked him to deliver the message just in case!
Ji Xinghan deliberately added a hint of disdain to his voice, then hesitated, saying, "You always look down on her, heh, she has quite a few helpers!"
"Help?" Master Chongyue scoffed. "What help could she possibly have? Lu Ye is no good, he can't help. Ji Xinghan? That weak outsider? Even worse. Heh, among the people Yingyue knows, the only one who can help is me. Unfortunately, I won't help her!"
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat. Could Master Chongyue help?
How can I help?
As she pondered how to extract more information, Master Chongyue grinned and said, "Ending the virus requires sacrificing lives. Yingyue is foolish, but I'm not!"
Ji Xinghan: "That's right, your task is to spread the virus, not to end it."
Master Chongyue's face darkened: "If Yingyue has the same feelings for me as she has for Luye, then I don't necessarily have to do this task. Not only will I not do it, but I might even be able to help her. Hehe, it's just a matter of asking the master for something!"
Ji Xinghan astutely grasped the key point: "You want something?"
Master Chongyue's face suddenly darkened: "Old woman, why are you talking so much today?"
Ji Xinghan rolled her eyes: "What's wrong with a little more? I'm afraid you'll ruin yourself!"
Master Chongyue: "You don't need to worry about it. Hurry up and go do your business. Remember to take the letter I gave you with you. When you get there, first hand the envelope to the tree hole!"
Ji Xinghan wanted to ask a few more questions, but Master Chongyue became impatient: "Old woman, you're acting strange today! Why are you always asking me all sorts of questions? Could you be Ji Xinghan in disguise?"
Ji Xinghan's mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and sneered, "That's right, it was an imposter, so I'm leaving. I'm too lazy to pass on your message."
Master Chongyue grew anxious: "How can you not help? Don't forget, you owe me."
"Fine!" Ji Xinghan turned and left, looking old and frail. "After this, we're even!"
She had to leave; otherwise, she feared being exposed.
You asked far too many questions just now.
She needs to think about what to do next.
The only one who can help Lady Yingyue now is Master Chongyue. However, Master Chongyue certainly won't offer help voluntarily. Moreover, Lady Yingyue is wasting her life, and Master Chongyue isn't so noble as to sacrifice his life for her.
Moreover, he said it was about asking an adult for something...
That adult is the one who should deliver the message.
Ji Xinghan has made a decision: she's going to the tree hole!
Of course, the message should be passed on, but what to pass on is up to her.
Ji Xinghan quickly arrived near the south of Luxin Pavilion, and walked south for about ten miles, wandering around for a long time, before finally seeing a big tree.
This tree is very tall, with branches reaching into the clouds and a very thick trunk that would require about a dozen people to encircle it.
There was a large tree hole under the tree. Because it was already late and the light was poor, the tree hole was now pitch black and looked quite terrifying in the quiet night.
Ji Xinghan walked to the tree hollow and said softly, "My lord?"
She called out several times, but there was no response from inside.
She then remembered that Master Chongyue had said that the previous envelope needed to be sent in, and luckily she had brought the envelope with her.
Ji Xinghan took out the envelope, and with a flash of white light, the mark on the envelope turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the tree hole.
After waiting for about half a minute, a sharp, piercing voice rang out: "What did Chongyue tell you to do?"
Upon hearing this voice, Ji Xinghan's hair stood on end.
That sounds awful.
I wonder who's inside, making such an unpleasant and abnormal sound.
She had already planned ahead; she was going to spread false information. But how could those inside not know what was happening outside?
She needs to test the waters first.
So, he said softly, "Master Chongyue asked me to tell you about the situation outside first."
The shrill voice grew impatient: "Tell me, how many more days until we all die!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
This means that the people inside don't know what's going on outside, otherwise they wouldn't have asked this question.
She sighed, feigning a sigh: "There's been a small problem. Master Chongyue said he wants to continue acting with Madam Yingyue. If everything goes smoothly, those outsiders won't live for more than a few days!"
The shrill voice was a little irritable: "What kind of show is this? It's always acting, acting, acting, never-ending. Is Yingyue really worth all this trouble? Just kill her already!"
The voice was so shrill that Ji Xinghan almost vomited.
She forced herself to speak and said, "Master Chongyue said that this performance is enough. He said he hopes you can give him that thing to use. Cough cough, sigh, I'm getting old and can't remember clearly. He said it seems to be to use up Yingyue's life force..."
A shrill voice exclaimed in surprise, "Is it really necessary to act this big?"
His voice softened considerably, as if he had seen something amusing, and he actually laughed: "Interesting, is Chongyue courting death? Or... does he want to betray me?"
Ji Xinghan was startled, but she did not deny it.
Wouldn't it be better to make Master Chongyue and this person turn against each other?
The people inside fell silent.
Ji Xinghan stood outside the tree hole and waited for about ten minutes.
The trees were gloomy, and several wolf howls came from not far away. She couldn't help but glance around.
This place is absolutely terrifying.
Although she appears as Grandma Yuanbao, she is actually a player, and she doesn't know if the monsters here will attack her.
If they really attack, their secret will be exposed immediately.
Ji Xinghan was anxious, but dared not press for answers.
There was no response from inside the tree hollow; it was completely silent, as if no one had ever existed there.
Five or six minutes later, the wolf howls grew louder and louder, and in the distance, a greenish light approached—it was a wolf!
A voice finally came from inside the tree hollow: "Huh?"
Ji Xinghan's heart leaped into her throat. What did the people inside mean? And what if they were crying wolf? There was more than one wolf; how was she supposed to escape?
The voice inside chuckled maliciously: "You can handle this, right? Hmm?"
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth!
She can't handle it, she simply can't handle it!
She's not an NPC!
Did the people inside discover something? Or did he investigate something in such a short time?
Ji Xinghan felt extremely uneasy.
The method just now was indeed risky. She came to deceive people based on only a little bit of information, and her words were vague, so it was easy for people to find loopholes.
However, there was really no other way; she knew very little information.
"Awooo~" The wolf's roar grew closer and closer, only a few dozen meters away from Ji Xinghan.
Ji Xinghan glanced at it and his hair stood on end—seventy or eighty of them, there were actually seventy or eighty of them, my God!
We have no choice but to run!
The next chapter will be released tonight.
