Otherworld Advance Team-Chapter 1721 - 1714: Northward Plan

In Luo’er’s room, Feng finally returned safely amid everyone’s anticipation and reported his observations. After all, although Fulajie’er possesses vast abilities, she couldn’t observe things instantly as she had to take on the task of communication.

"It turned out just as Luo’er predicted." Cheng Ziang looked at Luo’er and expressed admiration.

Facing everyone’s admiration, Luo’er seemed a bit embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, "Actually, this kind of thing can be entirely guessed. I’ve already mentioned earlier, eliminate all incorrect options, and the final result, no matter how incredible, is the answer. Anxiang Zheng is like that; after eliminating all the incorrect options, his suspicion is the greatest."

"It seems Anxiang Zheng has made an agreement with those people, allowing us to leave Guyi Government and continue north." Baiyue lowered her head and pondered.

"Who could those people be?" Hu Daoke asked puzzledly.

"Who else," Cheng Ziang gave him a look, shook his head, and said, "Luo’er already said to use elimination. Therefore, if those people are not the Emperor’s Sect, then they must be some other organization, but definitely related to the Wen Family."

"Don’t you have a little sweetheart? Ask her and you’ll know." Hu Daoke looked at him and said.

"Stop talking nonsense," Cheng Ziang said irritably, "I didn’t really run into her today, how would I know what’s going on."

"Anyway, using this kind of method to lure Anxiang Zheng is indeed despicable." Tangmo frowned and said.

"After all, they don’t take it seriously; we don’t need to be so..." Hu Daoke cautiously advised.

"What are you talking about, what do you mean they don’t take it seriously," Tangmo stared at him and said, "Even the lotus stays untouched by mud; how can we, because we’re in Kyushu, start to decay in our thoughts?"

Tangmo’s words made Luo’er truly agree, and he couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

"Sometimes it’s really helpless," Cheng Ziang sighed and said, "We’re not Kyushu people, so we can’t represent them to change this world. More often, we can only act as spectators."

"Food should be eaten bite by bite, and the road should be walked step by step," Baiyue said, "Our current task is to prevent the Dongsheng Empire from invading West Outer Heaven again; this goal is not yet achieved, so how can we change halfway."

"Well said." Luo’er nodded in satisfaction.

"Anyway, leave Qi State early; this damn place, staying too long will really give you a heart attack." Cheng Ziang shook his head and said.

"Since Anxiang Zheng has already compromised, I think we can leave within a couple of days. Guyi Government, it’s better to go sooner; I guess Anxiang Zheng already knows we’ve figured out his identity, the longer we stay, the more dangerous it becomes. These cultivators, more or less, have psychological issues." Baiyue shook her head and said.

Leaving Luo’er’s room, Cheng Ziang returned alone to his room. Just as he reached the door, he caught a familiar scent, and his mind once again became fuzzy.

He pushed open the door, looked around, the room was empty, moonlight streamed through the windows, making the whole room glow eerily.

Sometimes, he felt Hun Jiansi was just like a cat. Always disappearing silently and appearing silently.

When he thought she was in the room, he couldn’t find traces of her anywhere. When he thought she wasn’t in the room, she would always make a mocking sound behind him.

Deeply inhaling the fragrant air, Cheng Ziang had just walked into the room when he sensed movement from behind.

He turned abruptly and saw Hun Jiansi standing right behind him, looking like a child who had done something wrong, her head lowered.

"I thought you weren’t here..." Cheng Ziang took a deep breath and said.

Since he could never remember her name, Cheng Ziang never greeted her by name.

"I just arrived too..." Hun Jianesi said with her head lowered.

She also seemed to understand Cheng Ziang’s thoughts, so she didn’t care whether he could call her name or not. After all, to her, being remembered by someone was a very joyful thing.

"Anxiang Zheng seems to be planning to release people." Cheng Ziang said to her.

"I know." Hun Jiansi nodded.

"It’s your doing, right?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Yeah..." Hun Jiansi nodded, her emotions seemed somewhat downcast.

"If it’s not your responsibility, don’t take it on casually, it’s better to proactively distance yourself." Cheng Ziang said affirmatively.

"Eh?" Hun Jiansi seemed a bit surprised, looked up at Cheng Ziang, her large eyes glinting with enamel.

"I know this matter is related to your Emperor’s Sect, but if it’s not something you did, don’t proactively admit it. Misunderstandings always arise from unexplained mistakes, I told you yesterday, we’ve been together for so long, I know your character and have seen your changes, so I believe it has nothing to do with you, right?" Cheng Ziang said earnestly.

"Yes..." Hun Jiansi stared blankly at him, then slowly lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, appearing very excited.

Taking a deep breath, she looked up again at Cheng Ziang, earnestly said, "I can only tell you, after you guys fell into Qi State, the Wen Family was very concerned about your situation. When they learned the Anxiang family intended to hold onto you, even the Young Mansion couldn’t sit still..."

"Young Mansion..." Cheng Ziang hesitated, but facing Hun Jiansi’s pleading eyes, he pressed his lips together and shook his head, saying, "Don’t worry, I won’t inquire."

"Thank you..." Hun Jiansi lowered her head, expressing heartfelt gratitude.

"It seems we won’t leave here until the Wen Family feels at ease?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"That’s right." Hun Jiansi nodded.

"But Qi State is so big..."

"Don’t worry, you’ll be arranged to the territory of the Dongliang family." Hun Jiansi said.

"But can the Dongliang family really take on the Anxiang family? I’m skeptical." Cheng Ziang smiled wryly.

"They can," Hun Jiansi nodded confidently and said earnestly, "The Anxiang family’s biggest advantage is numbers, but their greatest disadvantage is also numbers. Many but sparse, sparse but not refined. They won’t be a match for the Dongliang family, and besides, behind the Dongliang family are the Wen Family and the Yichuan Clan."

"Alright then..." Cheng Ziang nodded. Perhaps feeling somewhat down, he didn’t know what to say, just let out a soft sigh.

"You should rest early." Hun Jiansi saw his expression and said with concern.

"What about you?" Cheng Ziang asked back.

"Me, don’t worry about me, I have things to do." Hun Jiansi waved her hand.

"But you’ll have to sleep sometime."

"It’s okay, I’ll curl up in a corner and sleep, I’m already used to it." Hun Jiansi said, revealing a slightly bitter expression.

Cheng Ziang sighed deeply, increasingly feeling that Hun Jiansi was like a cat. Always sneaking out and then sneaking back.

Curling up in a corner and sleeping soundly, no matter how the owner calls, there is no response, until satisfied, then proudly comes out with a righteous voice, showing her presence.

"And if that bell were around her neck, wouldn’t that be interesting?" Cheng Ziang squinted his eyes and murmured.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, nothing, just talking to myself." Cheng Ziang was startled in his heart, hurriedly waved to explain.

"I see..." Hun Jiansi seemed to understand something, her face blush, and lowered her head.

"If you don’t mind, you can sleep on my bed, I’ll squeeze in with someone else." Cheng Ziang suggested.

"Don’t treat me as a homeless little girl, I’m Hun Jiansi, naturally, I’ll always have a way to solve it; no need to trouble you so much." Hun Jiansi shook her head and said, although she said so, she still felt inexplicably warm in her heart.

"Well, goodnight." Cheng Ziang waved his hand.

"Goodnight." Hun Jiansi awkwardly raised her hand; she seemed not too accustomed to such greetings.

After saying goodbye, she didn’t shamelessly stay in the room but exited instead, thoughtfully closing the door for Cheng Ziang.
