Chapter 61: Assassination on a Moonlit Night
Ji Chen was stunned by the question.
Do I like her? Ji Chen also asked himself in his heart. If you say that you don't feel anything, it must be impossible, but if you really like it, Ji Chen doesn't know whether he likes Zhang Lan or Fan Ling'er?
During the time that Ji Chen hesitated, Fan Ling'er's bright eyes gradually dimmed.
"You'd better not like me, because you don't deserve to be who you are. Fan Ling'er said coldly through the door.
When Ji Chen outside the door heard this, his heart sank.
Am I not worthy? It turns out that people with a character like Ling'er also care so much about the difference in identity, Ji Chen thought silently in his heart.
"Oh. Ji Chen stopped talking after a sigh, and he shrugged his head and walked out of the courtyard.
Fan Ling'er originally thought that Ji Chen would defend something, but she didn't expect Ji Chen to answer and leave.
She gently pushed open a crack in the door and saw Ji Chen's back silently leaving.
In his heart, he should like the person who looks like me, right?" Fan Ling'er thought.
That day, Fan Ling'er and Ji Chen stayed in their own residence, and both of them silently thought about the same thing.
On the second day, Fan Ling'er knocked on Ji Chen's door.
"It's time to rest for a day!'s time to practice!" Fan Ling'er shouted outside the door.
When Ji Chen heard Fan Ling'er's voice, he immediately opened the door.
"Aren't you angry?" Ji Chen asked cautiously.
"I have nothing to be angry about. Fan Ling'er clasped her hands around her chest, "As your master, I should have the appearance of a master." β
"Great! Thank you for your forgiveness. Ji Chen ran to Fan Ling'er innocently.
"Let's go, you're going to start practicing the other part of the Flame Duel today. Fan Ling'er said a word and walked out of the court, and Ji Chen followed closely behind.
Outside Chiba Castle.
Fan Ling'er sat quietly on the side, and Ji Chen practiced the first part of the fire duel alone, controlling the fire as the first.
The fact that the fire control is the first part of the fire duel shows that this is the most basic part, and Ji Chen has already cultivated the more difficult second part in advance, so it can be easily described as cultivating the fire control for the armor, of course, all of this is based on Ji Chen's identity as a heavenly destiny.
In the afternoon of the same day, a pair of blood-red flame armor appeared on Ji Chen's body, which made Ji Chen look like a god of war who had come out of prison, and he was extremely stylish.
Ji Chen looked at the flame armor on his body with joy, with a hint of indestructibility in his domineering spirit.
According to what the Flame Duel said, as long as this armor can be stabilized, it can even be compared to a low-grade armor. Although Ji Chen didn't know what the concept of lower-grade armor was, he could know from the importance that everyone attached to medium-grade treasures when he used to prostitute the Ice Spirit Sword, even if the lower grade was far inferior to the middle-grade treasure, it was naturally much more advanced than the ordinary grade, and Ji Chen's armor would not be damaged as long as the aura continued.
For the next three days, Ji Chen had been there repeating the practice of fire control for armor, hoping to reach the point of doing whatever he wanted.
......
In a mansion in the northernmost corner of Chiba Castle.
The patriarch of the Ye family and Ye Hua sat at a low table, and Ye Hua poured a cup of tea for his father.
"Father, when are we going to do it?" Ye Hua asked.
"What's the hurry, you're rough in everything you do, and you can't do things and talk well! Haven't you learned a lesson from the last time?" the Ye family patriarch scolded.
Ye Hua knew that his father was talking about the last Zhongpin treasure weapon, and he knew that he was ashamed and didn't dare to say anything more.
"But it's not easy to delay this matter any longer, just a few days, and I'll let you know when the time comes. The Ye family patriarch took a sip of tea and said, "I took the initiative to ask the Star Pavilion for my life in this matter, and you must handle it carefully then." β
"Of course, don't worry, father, I will only wait for my father's order. Ye Hua stood up and said.
The Ye family patriarch nodded, but did not speak.
......
On this day, Ji Chen and Ling'er cultivated outside the city as usual until late in the evening before returning to the city.
When they approached the city gate, the guards at the city gate of the Zhao family stopped the two.
"Miss Fan, the city gate is being repaired, so I can only bother you to wait here for a while. The guard led by him stepped forward and said to Fan Ling'er.
Fan Ling'er looked at the closed city gate and wondered: "There was nothing wrong with it before leaving the city, why did it suddenly have to be repaired?"
"Miss Fan didn't know that a crack suddenly appeared in the city gate at noon today, and the patriarchs ordered me to repair it within today's day. β
When Fan Ling'er heard this, she couldn't say any more, so she asked again, "How long will it take?"
"I don't know the specific villain, but it will definitely be fine within two hours. The man said.
Fan Ling'er glanced at the closed city gate, and helplessly walked to the side and waited.
"Master, it's getting dark, and the patriarch won't blame you if you go back late. Ji Chen asked.
"Probably not, my father didn't let me go out before, and I had to be accompanied by my second uncle if I wanted to go out, but my second uncle was usually very busy and rarely had time to accompany me. But recently, I've been practicing with you in the suburbs outside the city, and my father doesn't seem to care much. This time again, there is a reason, and my father probably won't blame me. Fan Linger said.
"What do all the adults usually do in the family?" Ji Chen said curiously.
"In fact, the operation of the entire family is under the control of my second uncle, and my father is only responsible for showing up and making decisions. Don't look at my second uncle's usual very kind appearance, in fact, to other people, my second uncle is very fierce. β
Ji Chen nodded thoughtfully, he never felt that the kind second uncle in Ling'er's mouth was a good person, Ji Chen was submissive and respectful to him on the surface, but in fact, he had always been wary of this smiling tiger in his heart.
......
Ji Chen and Fan Ling'er waited quietly by the city gate for about an hour and a half, and the city gate finally opened, and the two walked into the city, only to see five or six people packing up some tools. The two didn't care, so they walked directly to the Fan Mansion in the city.
At this time, the bright moon was already hanging high, and the pedestrians in the city had long since dispersed.
Ji Chen, who had never walked in the city at this hour, felt very uneasy, his hand instinctively rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his body was closer to Fan Ling'er.
Fan Ling'er glanced at Ji Chen and said with a smile: "What's the matter?"
Ji Chen scratched his head in embarrassment: "Ah, no." β
Fan Ling'er said again: "Actually, it's normal, most people are day leaders, so it's best not to go out casually at night, otherwise it will be dangerous to meet the gangsters of the night." β
"Before the Chosen One, this one was troublesome, unlike demon beasts, although they were born without opening the soul, but if they practiced other professions, once the soul was opened, they didn't have to care about the difference between day and night. Fan Ling'er complained as she walked.
"Then master, are you also Rikui?"
"Of course, although there are a lot of night evils, in fact, most of them are day leaders. β
Ji Chen nodded and raised his eyes to look at the moon in the sky.
But this didn't matter, and Ji Chen was startled a lot when he saw it, it turned out that on the eaves under the moon, five people in night clothes were wearing masks, and they were standing in a row staring at them.
"Master!" Ji Chen quickly pulled out the Ice Spirit Sword at his waist, and his gaze instantly turned cold.
Seeing this, Fan Ling'er also frowned: "Who are you!?"
The five mysterious people under the moon did not answer, but in the next moment, they suddenly pulled out their swords from their waists and rushed towards Ji Chen.
Ji Chen, who had never been in actual combat, dealt with it, and in the face of the five people who rushed over, Ji Chen only knew how to raise the sword in his hand to block.
A man in black who rushed towards Ji Chen first slashed at the sword raised by Ji Chen from top to bottom.
I saw a spark splash out, and the huge force instantly hurt Ji Chen's arm, and the Ice Spirit Sword in his hand was also instantly taken off and fell aside.
"It seems that the intelligence is really right, you are indeed a waste, and the medium-grade sword is not as good as a burning stick in your hand. The man in black who shook the sword in Ji Chen's hand said in a disdainful tone.
As soon as the man's words fell, several Feng Gang slashed towards him, only to see that the man stretched out his hand and waved, and an earth shield quickly appeared in his palm, easily blocking Feng Gang.
"Who are you!I'm the eldest lady of the Fan Mansion!" Fan Ling'er rushed to Ji Chen and stretched out his hand to stop him, and drank it in his mouth.
The man didn't react when he heard this, but said, "A big man needs a woman to protect him." β
He wiped his sword with his elbow and said, "But it's useless, there are three night wives here!"
After the man finished speaking, he quickly stabbed out with a sword, aiming directly at Fan Ling'er's chest.
Ji Chen's pupils shrank, and he pulled Fan Ling'er aside, and he used his body to block the stab.
A blood-red flame armor suddenly appeared the moment the tip of the sword touched Ji Chen's body, and the sword of the man in black not only did not penetrate Ji Chen's body in the slightest, but even his sword was quickly melted into molten iron!
"The alien fire is really extraordinary!" the man's eyes froze, and then he immediately said, "Then you try this!"
As soon as the man threw away the weapon that had been melted down and only the hilt of the sword, a huge stone pier suddenly appeared out of thin air in his hand, and then smashed it into Ji Chen's chest.
The huge stone pier slammed into Ji Chen's chest, and Ji Chen was directly smashed to the ground, even though he was protected by fire armor, his chest still felt a surge.
Fan Ling'er on the side was also forced to retreat by several other black-clothed people, and in this situation, Fan Ling'er couldn't change hands at all, and retreated again and again.
Suddenly, a hand touched Fan Ling'er's shoulder from behind, and Fan Ling'er quickly turned his head vigilantly and found that this person turned out to be Zhao Hongying!
"Don't be afraid, Ling'er, I'll help you. Zhao Hongying said with a smile on her face.
The naΓ―ve Fan Ling'er didn't have the slightest suspicion, and even asked, "Why are you here." β
Zhao Hongying was also slightly stunned when she heard this, obviously he didn't expect Fan Ling'er to understand the truth yet.
"Because...... Look at that!" Zhao Hongying suddenly pointed ahead.
Fan Ling'er turned her head suspiciously, and found that there was nothing strange except for the three black-clothed people just now, and just as she was about to turn around again, she received a heavy blow to her neck, and Fan Ling'er only felt that her eyes were black, and her body was paralyzed.
Zhao Hongying, who was behind him, hurriedly took him in his arms, and then stroked Fan Ling'er's face with his fingers with an obscene expression.
"I'll leave the rest to you, you must get rid of this person for me!" Zhao Hongying said to the three black-clothed people in front of her, and then she couldn't wait to pick up Fan Ling'er and run away like a dark place.
