Chapter 366: The Worst of Two Evils
In fact, at this time, even if you are used to seeing the night with strong winds and waves, you will still be a little nervous.
The old man in front of him was one of the top ninth-level soul masters on the continent, and he was also a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.
Yechen is not like Jing Hongchen, the soul guide is shattered and he doesn't care so much, anyway, there are many of them, and Yechen used the god-killing spear at that time, and his soul power has long been exhausted, but now he has not fully recovered.
If Jing Hongchen makes a move on him at this time, let alone use the god-killing spear again, unless he hides directly in the small world, there is no chance of half of him surviving.
Yechen knew Jing Hongchen's thoughts, but he couldn't deny it directly, what was the difference between that and admitting it in disguise?
Besides, once something happens to him, Fan Yu, Huo Yuhao, and Caitou, and even Wang Dong'er and Xu Tianchen, who are in prison, will have an accident, so he must deal with this little episode well.
In this case, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous, but Yechen can only play with the other party.
"I'm afraid the Hongchen Hall Master is not an old fool, I admit that I am very talented, but when I have fought with you, let alone make you suffer." Yechen sneered.
Jing Hongchen was not angry, Yechen's answer seemed frivolous, but it did not leak.
But it was precisely because of this that he was more sure of his guess. Under normal circumstances, how can there be no flaws in the words of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy?
However, as soon as Jing Hongchen thought of his purpose, it was no longer necessary to worry about these things with Yechen: "You don't have to hide it, this room has been completely isolated, and it is impossible to hear the conversation between us outside." ”
Jing Hongchen's eyes are as deep as the bottom of the sea, and Yechen's heart is hairy when he sees it, when it comes to wisdom, this old guy is not far behind Xuan Lao.
If he hadn't been too cautious and couldn't let go of his hands and feet, it was estimated that Mingdetang would have gone to the next level in his hands.
Without waiting for Yechen to say anything, Jing Hongchen coughed lightly and continued: "I know that you were the one who fought with me that night, and I also know that you took the things, but don't worry, I called you over this time, not to trouble you, but to ask for something." ”
At the end of the words, Jing Hongchen's tone became extremely sincere, and when he looked at Yechen, his eyes contained a bit of vicissitudes and helplessness.
Just a few days ago, this old guy only had edge and perseverance in his eyes, and if you think about it, it is estimated that anyone who has experienced these few days will have such a change.
It's just that in this way, Yechen himself can't make up his mind, and what surprised him the most was the last sentence of the other party, asking for something.
But what is it that can make this old man who stands at the top of the circle of strength whisper to a junior and say that he has something to ask for?
Or is there a deep meaning in this?
"Ice Emperor, do you think we can believe this old guy's words?" Yechen, who was entangled in his heart, finally chose to ask for the opinion of the Ice Emperor.
Since the last time he fought hard with Jing Hongchen, for the sake of insurance, Yechen asked the Ice Emperor to return to his spiritual sea in case of emergency.
Although the Ice Emperor's strength is only the soul left, her vision is still very good, she is not the Silver Dragon King after all, she has been sleeping in the Star Dou Great Forest for tens of thousands of years after her birth, and she also knows a little about human affairs.
"I don't think he's lying, and in other words, a strong person of his level will not bow his head and ask for help from a junior unless he has to, of course the strong have the dignity of the strong, even if it is Jing Hongchen, his dignity does not allow him to make such a move because he is targeting a person." The Ice Emperor's calm analysis continued to resound in the sea of spirits.
Yechen nodded, what he said was true, no matter how insidious Jing Hongchen was, he couldn't get rid of this mentality.
But having said that, Yechen still planned to test it again: "I don't know if I have something that makes the Hongchen Hall Master take a fancy to it, and actually deign to ask me." ”
Jing Hongchen looked at the young man in front of him, he understood that he had clearly recruited a wolf this time.
Where is this fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid?
said that Yechen was an old fritter disguised, and he believed it!
"Little one, I'm here in good faith, it's only good for you, and I'm not going to tell you about your theft of important information." Jing Hongchen also seemed to be a little anxious, not at all like before.
The corners of Yechen's mouth raised slightly, if the other party was not agitated, it was that incident that had made Jing Hongchen desperate.
This is an opportunity, maybe he can rely on this matter to blackmail the other party.
Anyway, the two of them were originally opponents, and he didn't have any psychological burden at all.
"First of all, I have never seen any important information in your mouth, and I don't understand what you said tonight, but if the Red Dust Hall Master really has something to ask for, as long as it is within my ability, I am still happy to serve." Yechen said without leaking, looking directly at each other without fear.
Jing Hongchen's heart twitched, he didn't expect him to be like this, Yechen still didn't tell him.
Although he has come to this point, it has a lot to do with Yechen, but there is no way, things are already like this, the lesser of two evils, he must let Yechen help and keep what he cares about the most.
Thinking of this, even if Jing Hongchen felt aggrieved in his heart, he could only keep a smile: "I want to beg you, when the exchange students of both sides return in two years, help me rob the laughter and dreams." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yechen immediately petrified in place, wondering if he had heard it wrong: "What are you talking about, aren't Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen grandchildren, and now you actually want me to rob them?" ”
Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "That's right, my current situation is not very good, and I will be even more uncertain in two years, when Shi Xiao and Meng come back, they may have just arrived in Mingdu, and what awaits them is at least a prison sentence." ”
Yechen was stunned at first, but quickly understood.
It seems that Jing Hongchen's situation at this time is likely to be related to a series of events that happened in Mingde Hall, as well as the recent royal disputes.
He's looking for a way out for himself.
In fact, Yechen has already guessed eight or nine.
Mingde Hall was destroyed, and Subject No. 1 was missing, if these were not enough for Jing Hongchen to be beaten into the abyss by the royal family, nearly fifty percent of the soul guide information was stolen. It was the straw that broke the camel's back.
At this time, although Jing Hongchen was fine, it was because Xu Tianran still needed him to help him study Subject 2, once the development was successful or deliberately delayed.
At that time, Xu Tianran will be in the upper position, and he can completely find someone to replace Jing Hongchen's position, you must know that in the Sun and Moon Empire, the number of ninth-level soul masters is very considerable.
