Wei Yi was completely unprepared for Xi Jing to hand the card to Chuzheng and reveal everything to her.

At that moment, Wei Yi was waiting for Xi Jing to come find him.

Indeed, Xi Jing called him.

Wei Yi arranged a meeting place, cautiously not appearing but waiting for Xi Jing to show up first. Once he was sure there was no danger, he had Xi Jing change locations again.

Finally, Xi Jing got off in the suburbs and followed Wei Yi’s instructions to walk forward.

After walking several paths, Xi Jing finally saw a house.

The house appeared to be somewhat old, a three-story building nestled between bamboo groves, exuding a sense of seclusion from the world.

Xi Jing pushed open the ajar door and went inside.

"Mr. Wei?" He called out cautiously.

The voice reached inside and slowly echoed back.

Then Xi Jing heard footsteps, shadows moved in the dark towards him, and as they approached, the shadows receded, gradually revealing their true form.

It was Wei Yi, whom he had seen twice before.

"Mr. Wei..." Xi Jing called, looking tense and nervous.

"Come with me." Wei Yi, seeing this, didn’t suspect anything and let Xi Jing follow him upstairs.

Xi Jing looked around nervously as he followed Wei Yi upstairs. Upstairs, the lighting was good, resembling a normal house.

"Sit anywhere, want something to drink?"

"No... no drinks." Xi Jing shook his head.

Wei Yi didn’t insist, grabbing a bottle of drink for himself: "Have you thought it through?"

Xi Jing dared not sit, standing there, nervously asking: "Can you really tell... her affair?"

"Of course." Wei Yi smiled: "In this world, I’m the one who knows her the best."

Xi Jing glanced at Wei Yi, his eyes timid as before.

However, Wei Yi didn’t notice the trace of mockery in Xi Jing’s eyes.

Xi Jing seemed to ponder, stumbling as he asked: "What would I need to pay?"

Wei Yi smiled slyly: "That depends on what you want."

Xi Jing was confused: "What do you mean?"

"Do you like her?"

Xi Jing pressed his lips, awkwardly nodding.

"Since you like her, it depends on what you want from her, and I can help you with that."

Xi Jing was initially bewildered, then seemed to understand, but his expression was conflicted with some doubt: "I think... she likes me too, is that okay?"

Wei Yi coaxed: "Of course, as long as you want, she will like you, belong to you, you will become her sole possessor..."

"He was mine all along."

An abrupt voice sounded from the side.

Wei Yi’s eyebrows twitched violently, casting an eerie look at the window sill nearby.

A figure leapt up from the window sill, lightly landing on the ground.

Xi Jing immediately ran over to Chuzheng, grabbing her arm, hiding behind her, only exposing a pair of eyes to look at Wei Yi.

Wei Yi: "..."

It was so evident, how could Wei Yi not realize he had been tricked.

His fierce gaze shot towards Xi Jing, but the boy who had appeared timid, seemingly tense and nervous moments ago, now had a mischievous grin in his clear eyes.

Wei Yi felt a chill run down his spine from that look.

It was as if he was being watched by something, unable to escape.

Upon closer inspection, the boy still appeared timid.

Was it an illusion?

No...

That definitely wasn’t an illusion.

"You’re quite good at hiding." Running to such a remote place, how would an ordinary person find you.

Chuzheng’s voice pulled Wei Yi back to reality.

"You’re pretty capable."

"Naturally." A big shot is just that impressive.

Wei Yi choked on his blood, choking in his throat, did I praise you?

The antagonist always perishes from talking too much, so to avoid being the villain, Chuzheng attacked first, cutting off Wei Yi before he could speak further.

[...]

What’s the connection here? The antagonist is always the antagonist!!

Wanting to make a move requires finding an excuse?

Chuzheng was too busy fighting to pay attention to the King’s Account’s roar.

-

Wei Yi seemed to understand he wasn’t a match for Chuzheng and had been prepared to slip away from the start.

This time he underestimated...

He didn’t expect Xi Jing to trust her so much.

Damnit!

Chuzheng blocked the door while Wei Yi seized the opportunity to sprint toward the window sill and leapt down.

However—

Wei Yi jumped down only to be caught by a net, it tightened, wrapping him into a ball, rolling on the ground, crashing into the long-neglected bushes nearby.

Wei Yi struggled but found that the more he fought, the tighter it became.

Rip—

Wei Yi was dragged out of the bushes, his vision blurred as he saw who was pulling him 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"You dare trick my... Xi Jing, you’re quite capable." Chuzheng flipped Wei Yi over, pressing him down and started rubbing him.

You bastard!

Dare plot against the Good Person Card.

Wei Yi, who had been fierce just moments ago, immediately backed down after Chuzheng’s thrashing.

Chuzheng extracted the chain from Wei Yi and kicked him twice to vent.

Wei Yi held his livid face, his gaze vicious, as if wishing he could devour Chuzheng with his eyes.

From Chuzheng’s perspective...

You’re glaring at me!

Who are you trying to scare!

So Wei Yi got kicked twice more, nearly fainting from those kicks.

[Detected escapee, please handle promptly.]

Suddenly a message appeared before Chuzheng.

Chuzheng was momentarily confused, since when did Bastard create such a function, but then she realized it couldn’t be Bastard, who loved to babble wouldn’t use such a method.

So...

Is it the non-babbling system that belonged to the original owner?

What on earth is an escapee?

"Watch out!"

Xi Jing’s voice rang out from upstairs, a flash appeared in front of Chuzheng, her body reacted faster than her brain, already dodging, and her mind caught up.

She quickly used Yin Xian to set up a barrier in front of herself, however the light seemed non-lethal except... being quite dazzling.

The light lasted only a second, flashing and gone, simultaneously vanishing along with Wei Yi.

The silver net maintained its shape but the person inside was gone.

Disappeared into thin air?

-

Foot of the mountain.

A faint flash of light among the trees, a man’s silhouette appeared out of nowhere, landing on uneven ground, rolling several times downhill.

Wei Yi grabbed a nearby branch, finally steadying himself.

His whole body was in pain, Wei Yi felt drained of energy.

He crawled into the bushes.

Through gritted teeth: "Why didn’t you warn me she was coming?"

[Didn’t detect her.] A voice echoed in Wei Yi’s mind.

"How is that possible?"

The voice didn’t respond further, [You’ve been discovered, transmitting you away used my last stored energy.]

Wei Yi frowned, seeing his countdown, which had a year left, now only had a little over ten days.

Just transmitting, not very far, consumed so much time...

Wei Yi looked up angrily, we’ll see.
