“Chen Zhi?”
Yunji was slightly surprised. If she remembered correctly, Chen Zhi should be single. Why would he want this item?
Besides Chen Zhi, a few of his friends also had the same confusion. They couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Aren’t you single? Why are you bidding for this?”
“Hahaha, because I want to give it to the person I like.” Chen Zhi laughed as he looked in the direction of Ling Yi and the others.
Everyone, including the people close to their table, followed his gaze and looked over, curious about the mysterious woman.
When they saw Yunji and Yun Zixiao, they couldn’t help but start discussing.
“Wow, it’s Yunji and the young miss of the Emperor Star Financial Group! The two of them are rare beauties.”
“I know that man. He’s called Chen Zhi, and he’s from the Chen family of Shangdu! I’ve heard that he’s friends with the current number one of the younger generation, Saint Liu.”
“Oh! It’s him, I remember now!”
“They do have a good background. They’re a perfect match for the heiress of a Financial Group.
“Hahaha! It’s indeed very affectionate to give a comb to someone. I’m rooting for him!”
While everyone was gossiping, a piece of special information that no one had ever seen before suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
[Chen Zhi originally wanted to give it to Yunji, but when he saw the Miss of the Emperor Star Financial Group, he immediately changed his mind. He felt that pursuing the Miss would bring him more benefits than Yunji, who he could not be together with]
“This, this… What the hell is this?”
“You guys saw it too?!”
“Yeah! A message appeared in front of me, saying something about Chen Zhi.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I saw it too! What is this thing?”
The players who had been watching the show could not sit still when they saw the notification before them. They hurriedly looked around, trying to see who was the one doing this.
Even Li Yun, who was on the stage, was stunned. He looked at Yun He, who was sitting with the audience but saw the latter shake his head slightly, indicating for him to temporarily stop the auction and to wait and see.
Five seconds later, the message disappeared from everyone’s eyes, but they were still looking at each other.
“Heavens! Chen Zhi is a scumbag!” Someone shouted on purpose, trying to stimulate Chen Zhi to react so that the mysterious message would appear again.
Seeing that everyone had stopped bidding and was looking at him, Chen Zhi also recovered from his shock. He stood up and loudly argued, “I’m not a scumbag! Everyone, don’t be fooled by this message!”
“Anyone who knows me should know that I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve only ever liked Yunji!”
[Chen Zhi is panicking, afraid that this mysterious information would expose his ambiguous relationship with his mother.]
[In fact, he has no feelings for Yunji. In the past, he had been trying to please Yunji to maintain his devoted character. After all, everyone knows that it’s impossible to succeed in pursuing her.]
The mysterious message has appeared again!
“It looks like it’s your inner voice,”
While everyone was excitedly gossiping about the mysterious message, some people were more concerned about the content of the message itself.
These people looked at Chen Zhi in surprise and exclaimed, “Heavens! Chen Zhi and his mother actually…”
“I remember that his father is The Guardian of Shangdu. This information is really going to cause a sensation throughout the country!”
“The Guardian of Shangdu has been cuckolded by his own son, tsk tsk tsk…”
While the others continue to be shocked by the contents of the message, Ling Yi’s mind couldn’t help but focus on something else.
‘It seems… The Bell of Truth’s function is to reveal the target’s true thoughts… Or rather, to their subconscious.’
‘If I subconsciously want to hear someone’s voice, will it be displayed?’
There were a lot of people here, so he could try as much as he wanted later.
At this moment, the onslaught of distress points absorption notifications appeared like a waterfall! And every one of them was extremely valuable!
[You have absorbed 95 points of surprise value from Kumoko.]
[You have absorbed 99 excitement points from Yun He.]
[…..]
While he was laughing, Yunji, who was next to him, turned to look at Chen Zhi with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
She sighed softly and turned her head back. She looked at Ling Yi who was beside her.
Although she didn’t know why he was smiling so happily, her heart unconsciously beat faster when she looked at his smile.
Ling Yi’s personality and appearance were too much of a contrast to her preferences!
At the same time, Chen Zhi, who felt that he was being targeted, realized that something was wrong and quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking.
However, the mysterious message still appeared.
[Chen Zhi was afraid that this information would expose the fact that he and brother Liu Sheng went to brothels together, and even the fact that he was the guide for the ‘deities group’, which caused the fall of the original Shenxia, Qin Mengya, and the others, so he decided not to speak anymore.]
“What?”
The crowd could no longer sit still. Dozens of people immediately stepped forward and quickly subdued Chen Zhi.
“So the number one genius of Shenxia, Qin Mengya, was indirectly killed by you, the guide?!”
“The Deities Group? What kind of organization is this? Aren’t you afraid of being beaten to death for giving you this name?”
Many of the people present were Divine Union players. When they saw the contents of the mysterious message, they didn’t dare to hide it and immediately reported the information.
“From Chen Zhi’s reaction just now, this information must be true.” A Divine Union member who was holding Chen Zhi down said. The people around him also agreed with him and nodded.
Chen Zhi, who had been pressed to the ground, had never expected that he would turn from a high-spirited nouveau riche who had bid the highest price to a suspect who had been suppressed by the Divine Union’s combatants in just the span of one minute.
He couldn’t help but feel afraid at the thought of the trial he was about to face.
“I’ll talk, I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything! But please, give me a lighter punishment!” Chen Zhi shouted. His face was pressed against the stone floor, and his hands were tied up by the Divine Union’s [Spirit Binding Rope]— An item that could make the tied-up person affected by Silence. No Skill could be used whilst the bind is still in place.
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar again.
“So the contents of this message are true!”
“This is a big fish! Who knows, we might even be able to dig out more dark secrets from him!”
“…”
After Chen Zhi was taken to the side, the crowd below the auction stage gradually turned their attention back.
Compared to the auction, the crowd was more concerned about the origins of this mysterious voice.
“This must be a player’s ability or item!”
Someone said, drawing the agreement of the others.
Not many people paid attention to the following auction. Most of them went to the forum and couldn’t wait to share this magical thing with the world.
At this moment.
At the other end of the secret dungeon.
Nangong Li, who was fighting fiercely with the Sacred Gate’s leader, Sheng Futian, also received the news from her team members.
[Captain, there is a mysterious inner voice in the temple square that can display all the thoughts in one’s heart!]
‘Huh!?’
Nangong, who was in the middle of a bitter battle, was slightly startled. She immediately dodged the other party’s attack again.
This time, they had come in to prevent the Sacred Gate from obtaining the Forest Holy Water in this great dungeon. They had thought that it was a foolproof operation. Who would have thought that the boss of the Sacred Gate organization had also sneaked in!
Since the opening of the secret dungeon, the main forces of both sides had been fighting in the forest far away from the temple for nearly three hours!
Buzzzzzz!
After another clash of weapons.
Nangong Li, who was mentally exhausted, lost her focus for a moment. Saint Futian found her weakness and sent her flying in one breath!
Weng-bang!
Her body fell toward the mountain like a meteor, and a violent earth-shaking rumbled bang was heard.
The mountain shattered and collapsed, burying her underneath.
“Captain!”
The members of the Phoenix Team were shocked. If their leader had been defeated, they were no match for him!
The few of them looked at each other and thought of a temporary retreat.
But at this moment, the buried mountain exploded with a burst of Vermillion flames! Nangong Li’s figure walked out from the raging flames.
Then, a Phoenix mark appeared on her forehead, and a pair of resplendent and gorgeous Phoenix Flame wings grew on her back. Her entire body was wrapped in bright golden fire that burned and distorted the space!
Her aura was as mighty as an emperor of all living creatures, causing the world to suddenly fall silent.
She took light steps and rose into the sky again. Her fiery red eyes were filled with a strong battle intent once again!
“I haven’t lost yet!”
Hearing this, the black-skinned, silver-haired, and muscular Saint Futian crossed his arms and laughed in disdain, “Hmph? You can’t even beat the 10th-ranked person, and now you’re thinking of beating me, the 3rd-ranked person in the world?”
“What a big joke.”
Sheng Futian, male, 30.
Leader of the dark organization’s Sacred Gate, level 89.
He was ranked third in the level 80 – 89 region!
