Chapter 554 Just this time
Wu Yu was a little confused:
"Wait, wait, wait—why did Yu Qunqing come looking for you when Yu Jing got into trouble?"
For Chi Jin, this didn't even require thinking.
Chi Jin answered calmly, as if these things had nothing to do with him:
"Yu Ying was adopted by Yu Qunqing because he looks like me. Yu Qunqing wanted to use Yu Ying to comfort my sick mother. If anything happened to Yu Ying, my mother's illness would probably get worse."
Ruan Wei pursed her lips and looked at Chi Jin.
She wanted to see his expression, wanted to see that he was not sad about it, but also wanted to find traces of emotion on his face.
It’s not worth feeling sad for Yu Qunqing; if you don’t feel any emotions about it, you’ll be hurt enough.
Chi Jin continued to narrate calmly: "Tongzhou always spreads rumors that Yu Qunqing is very irritable. Actually, he is not that bad. He is just more paranoid about things related to my mother."
"Yu Qunqing is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very cunning."
Chi Jin said something that sounded like both praise and sarcasm. Ruan Wei subconsciously stroked the back of his hand with her fingers, silently soothing Chi Jin's emotions.
Chi Jin held her hand back.
"For example, now is not a good time for a reactionary war."
Chi Jin analyzed seriously: "Half of the Four Emperors are dead, and the Demon Realm is in turmoil. It is impossible for Yu Qunqing to completely recover the territories of the other two Demon Emperors in such a short time. There is also another Demon Emperor watching covetously from the sidelines."
Chi Jin said: "But Yu Qunqing still came."
"Because he had to come. He had no other way to appease my mother."
“Substitutes are always inferior to the original.”
Having been rivals and father and son for countless lifetimes, Chi Jin is still very familiar with Yu Qunqing.
Since Yu Qunqing can sit on the throne of the Demon King, he cannot be a fool.
Not to mention that if destiny had not intervened and forcibly transformed Chi Jin's spiritual power into demonic energy, forcing Chi Jin to leave Penglai Immortal Sect early and go to the Demon Realm to save his mother, it would be hard to say who the final Demon Lord would be.
Based on Chi Jin's past experience, the other three Demon Kings are not as powerful as Yu Qunqing.
Without Chi Jin's interference, it would only be a matter of time before Yu Qunqing became the Demon Lord.
Yu Qunqing had always had this intention; he had never been one to be on equal terms with others. He had previously tolerated the other three emperors only because he had to constantly watch over Fu He and didn't have the time to spare.
Now, Yu Qunqing has taken action and has also led his troops to attack Tongzhou. Chi Jin can't think of any other reason except that something went wrong with Fuhe.
Fu He, his mother.
The news about Fu He has always been Yu Qunqing's top priority for confidentiality, and so has Chi Jin, her child. In her previous life, Yu Qunqing had never acknowledged Chi Jin's identity to the world.
Yu Qunqing likes Fu He, he just doesn't like his son Chi Jin.
Yu Qunqing doesn't want others to find Fu He through Chi Jin.
But this time.
Ruan Wei said, "Strange, isn't the information the Wang family received this time a little too accurate?"
Child, tie up your sleeves.
These are not two words that can be easily linked together.
The fact that Yu Qunqing was looking for his own biological child was a secret among secrets, not to mention that he would so easily let a spy pass back such a clearly directed message as the sleeves.
But that's what happened.
unless--
Chi Jin tightened his fists a little, and he murmured softly: "Yu Qunqing did it on purpose."
He released this news on purpose. He knew that Chi Jin had feelings for Fu He, and he knew that Chi Jin's bloodline was a hidden danger.
Yu Qunqing is threatening Chi Jin.
He needs Chi Jin to go back obediently, because Fu He needs Chi Jin's comfort now.
Chi Jin couldn't think of any other reason why Yu Qunqing stopped hiding Chi Jin's bloodline, except that Fu He urgently needed it.
Chi Jin couldn't help but sneer.
Is this Yu Qunqing's revenge for him having people bomb Yu Qunqing's city everywhere for so many days?
It’s disgusting…
Wu Yu was shocked. "So, so his attack on Tongzhou was for other reasons? He just wanted to capture you and take you to the Demon Realm, right?"
Chi Jin nodded.
Wu Yu cursed, "How can there be such a father in this world?! What a beast!"
Ruan Wei said: "If that's the case, this is really bad."
As Chi Jin was telling the story, Ruan Wei's face had changed from green to yellow, yellow to white, and then to white and black, almost becoming a color palette.
Ruan Wei tried her best to calm herself down and licked her dry lips.
"Chi Jin, do you want to go back first? Go back to Penglai Immortal Sect."
After much hesitation, Ruan Wei still wanted Chi Jin to leave.
In Ruan Wei's view, this is the time for a strategic retreat.
She is the kind of person who is particularly hypocritical and conceited. She does not allow herself to retreat, but persuades Chi Jin to take shelter temporarily. She is very rational but does not consider the feelings of others.
This is probably the bad nature of human beings. Ruan Wei certainly has it, and she is especially bad.
Ruan Wei always makes the best decision for Chi Jin, even though this decision does not take Chi Jin's wishes into consideration.
Her personality is just bad, just terrible.
Only Chi Jin can tolerate her.
It wouldn't work if someone else came. At first, the other party might endure it for Ruan Wei's face, but as time went by, they would become a pair of resentful lovers.
Ruan Wei hopes that Chi Jin can avoid Yu Qunqing, avoid the pressure that Yu Qunqing wants to force on Chi Jin, and avoid the environment where people's gossip is scary.
Prejudice is a mountain, and Ruan Wei has neither the ability nor the intention to control others' mouths. In Tongzhou, everyone has a mouth and can speak. In this era of tit-for-tat between spirits and demons, Ruan Wei cannot afford to dwell on the verbal violence that Chi Jin will suffer. The thought of it makes her heart tremble.
Not only swords can kill, but words can too.
Ruan Wei knew that Chi Jin didn't care about what the people of Tongzhou thought of him, but she also knew that Chi Jin would blame himself for implicating her.
Don't want to see him sad.
Don't want to see him jealous.
A beautiful woman's bones should be beautiful, without shedding tears or suffering, just sit there quietly, waiting for her to bring the crown to the beauty.
Ruan Wei, a pure feminist.
It didn't take long.
Chi Jin refused: "...I want to stay, Senior Sister."
Ruan Wei frowned, feeling inwardly that her junior brother was disobedient. She took a few deep breaths and said, "If you stay here, there will be many people around you. What if Yu Qunqing is determined to find you and take you back?"
Chi Jin remained silent.
This is a silent rejection.
Ruan Wei looked at him and said in a gentle tone, "Don't be fooled by the fact that there are people from all over the city. In fact, people's hearts are scattered."
She pointed outside and said, "I think you know that Penglai and Tongzhou have never been of the same mind."
"Take this frontier as an example."
Ruan Wei described the possible future as best he could. "After the demon bloodline is exposed, no one will ask why, no one will understand. They will only capture you and attempt to use you to threaten, exchange for benefits, or... kill you."
Chi Jin's eyelashes trembled.
"However," Ruan Wei looked at Chi Jin and said softly, "It doesn't matter. I will protect you."
Ruan Wei didn't think this was a problem because she felt she could do it.
Born into a prominent family, he is extremely talented and powerful. With Ruan Ruanzhi's tacit consent, it probably wouldn't be too difficult for Ruan Wei to protect someone.
Chi Jin raised her eyes instantly.
Ruan Wei's beautiful eyes that could drown a person were looking at him, quietly sending him a signal of safety.
Ruan Wei curled his lips, "But what if?"
"This time it's a little different."
Ruan Wei frowned, seeming puzzled by her own situation. She said slowly, "I think you will leave me."
"Just this once."
This was the first time that Ruan Wei's sixth sense was so strong.
