Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family Chapter 757 - 541: A Play

Why did Sos lie? Was it because he didn’t want to sell the pill to Huayu and Yimiao?

It shouldn’t be.

If the Longevity Pill can be sold to me, it can naturally be sold to them as well. What’s more, the raw materials for refining the Longevity Pill still exist. If these two are truly interested, at worst, I could give up the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm to them... Wait, my thinking seems off; the most obvious issue here is!

Sos is willing to show me the things because I will use something to exchange for them; this is a transaction. But what if it were Huayu and Yimiao...

Chen Zhixing looked at Yimiao and Huayu, who might as well have the words ’blatant robbery’ written on their foreheads, and chose to silently keep his mouth shut.

Betraying Sos was naturally impossible.

Although Sos ran away after just a few seconds the last time he was asked for help, in the end, the two are still friends, and Sos’s actions weren’t exactly excessive.

Even without factoring in feelings, just ensuring the existence of this trading channel with Sos is a good thing for Chen Zhixing.

As for the potential gains of betraying Sos?

Chen Zhixing didn’t think the benefits gained by teaming up with Yimiao and Li Er to rob would exceed those from cooperating with Sos. So, why would he disclose these things to the two standing in front of him?

Chen Zhixing’s thoughts flowed back, and the situation before him began to change.

Yimiao continued to fold his arms and sneer coldly at Sos’s face, while Li Er cast a questioning glance at him.

Chen Zhixing saw this and directly said:

"Enough of the pointless chatter. When the World Tree fell, Sos wasn’t even born yet; he was born after the fall of the Cosmic World’s deities."

Chen Zhixing didn’t choose to lie or refuse to help either side. Instead, he chose to use a nonmittal statement to defect attention away from Sos.

He couldn’t afford to remain neutral in such a situation. If he didn’t speak or showed any other expression, Yimiao and Li Er would surmise that Sos indeed possessed Longevity Pills. Lying would be unwise, as it would be embarrassing if revealed in the future. It’s better to use a half-truth to cover the facts. Even if it were to later bee known that Sos indeed had the great pill, it wouldn’t be blamed on Chen Zhixing!

He was merely telling the truth.

Sos truly appeared after the fall of the deities, and regarding the occurrence of such a nonsensical thing as a Longevity Pill remaining after the fall of the Cosmic World, the probability in Yimiao and Li Er’s minds should be negligible.

As it turned out, Chen Zhixing’s words had a certain effect.

Unfortunately, not much.

Even with Chen Zhixing’s statement, Yimiao did not intend to let Sos off the hook. His expression merely shifted from the previous sneer to a current indifference.

Yimiao: "Mr. Sos, correct? We can believe that you indeed don’t have the Longevity Pill, but to be safe, we still need to conduct a thorough exploration of the Cosmic Realm. We hope you can understand and cooperate by not causing us any trouble during this period. Otherwise..."

As he spoke, Yimiao glanced at Chen Zhixing at the side and continued softly, "You should know, with the current strength of the Cosmic Realm, it cannot withstand the three of us."

Hearing this, Li Er also helped Yimiao confirm, "Yes, perhaps you don’t understand the importance of this pill to my Celestial Profound. Mr. Sos, I can clearly tell you that during this period, if you do something that causes a misunderstanding, we won’t mind tearing the Cosmic Realm to pieces for another search."

After they finished speaking, both turned their gaze to Chen Zhixing, clearly wanting him to take a stand.

The three of them hailed from the Celestial Profound, and faced with such a situation, Huayu and Yimiao obviously did not intend to let Chen Zhixing stay uninvolved.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing frowned and said:

"Weren’t we supposed to deal with the Star River Giant Beast before? Why are you targeting the Cosmic Realm now? First of all, I’m on good terms with Sos."

"Good terms? Does that mean ’really’ good? Like sharing clothes?" Yimiao looked at Chen Zhixing with a half-smile.

With Yimiao staring at him, Chen Zhixing felt a tingling in his scalp and could only say helplessly, "So, what’s your actual plan? Don’t say you truly intend to corner Sos into fighting you. With his current state, you’re also well aware he shouldn’t be pushed to the brink over something that may not even exist."

At that moment, Chen Zhixing knew that they were testing him with words and setting him up pletely.

However, he had no choice but to issue another warning.

If he didn’t act, Sos would have no choice but to pletely fall out with the two, which was something Chen Zhixing didn’t want to see.

"Ha, Li Er, did you see that? This kid isn’t on our side."

"I saw it. If he doesn’t want to do it, let him be. Destroying a Cosmic Realm is still something you and I can do."

"Just let him watch? What if he later attacks us?"

"..."

Li Er didn’t respond, just silently looked at Chen Zhixing.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing reluctantly stood up.

He extended a hand, and the Cyan Pheasant appeared in his grasp, held tightly.

"You two, if you want to find an excuse to hit me, just say so. No need for such detours, it’s pointless, really meaningless."

At this moment, Sos, who had not spoken, slowly moved to stand beside Chen Zhixing.
