"Considering how much you all helped when I first entered the Outer City, I’ve overlooked your repeated offenses," Li Zheng said coldly as he stared at Yakumo and Yelan. "Do you think I’m soft-hearted and easy to bully?"
"I..." Yelan wanted to argue, but suddenly realized that he and Yakumo were actually in the wrong. The mont he spoke a word, his montum weakened, and he fell silent.
Yakumo believed that for a new Race Player who had just entered the Outer City to possess boundless and powerful Spiritual Power, there must be a conspiracy against the Outer City. However, ever since Li Zheng entered the Outer City, they hadn’t heard of any trouble happening anywhere.
Yelan also tried to convince Yakumo that her views of Li Zheng were completely prejudiced.
But Yakumo was stubborn and wouldn’t listen.
In recent days, Li Zheng had returned to the 950 district twice. Each ti Yakumo saw him, she treated him like a thief. If it weren’t for knowing the vast difference in Spiritual Power between them, where in case of a conflict, the two siblings might not be a match for Li Zheng, perhaps Yakumo would have already attacked and killed him.
"This ti is just a small punishnt, next ti, I won’t be so lenient!" Li Zheng walked up to the Teleportation Gate and coldly ordered, "Open the gate for !"
Yelan bowed his head, walked over to open the Teleportation Gate, adjusted the teleportation target, and stood to the side.
"Let’s go!" Li Zheng snorted coldly and stepped into the Teleportation Gate to leave.
Not even five seconds after they left, Yakumo awoke from the chaos and was imdiately about to go berserk. "The audacity! I’ve been waiting for you to make a move so I could find a reason to kill you..."
She was furious, looked around, and not finding Li Zheng, asked Yelan, "Where is he?"
"Gone," Yelan sighed and said, "You just stood there for a full ten seconds. If he wanted to kill you, you would already be dead."
He ant to get Yakumo to back off, but Yakumo misunderstood, "If he could kill , he would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? He only had the advantage of a sneak attack, and I was caught off guard. If I had been prepared, the outco would be uncertain!"
Yelan frowned deeply and sighed heavily, "You said it yourself, if he wanted to kill you, he would have done it already. The fact that he hasn’t killed you shows his intentions aren’t as bad as you think."
"You see the face but not the heart. Just because he hasn’t killed doesn’t an he doesn’t have bad intentions!" Yakumo seed to grasp so substantial evidence, speaking with conviction, "He must have a huge conspiracy, and not killing is just because he’s worried it would disrupt his plans!"
"You keep saying he has a conspiracy, but what exactly is he conspiring?" Yelan asked, a bit impatiently, "All I know is that since we discovered his Spiritual Power is much stronger than most, we’ve used that as an excuse to trouble him multiple tis, and he’s always backed down, never holding it against us. Yet you still won’t let it go?"
"He retreats because he’s guilty!" Yakumo imdiately replied, "And don’t you know that only the Celestial Will Organization can barely surpass the Spiritual Power limit now? Even though we’re not sure how they do it, you know what kind of people are involved with the Celestial Will Organization!"
After Kuimi beca the way he is now, Yakumo and Yelan investigated for a long ti to find the perpetrator.
But during their search, they surprisingly found clues indicating the other party might be colluding with the Celestial Will Organization. Knowing they didn’t have the power to take revenge, they beca disheartened and brought Kuimi to a doctor, after which they settled in the 950 district.
Yakumo was obsessed with Kuimi’s situation, becoming almost deranged.
Yelan, not being good with words, didn’t know how to persuade her.
As the older brother of Yakumo and Kuimi, after Kuimi’s incident, all he could do was try his best to protect Yakumo from getting hurt as well.
"Just wait and see."
Yakumo looked at the Teleportation Gate, speaking in a deep voice, "He will eventually reveal a mistake, and then you’ll know I was right!"
She firmly believed that Li Zheng had hidden his Spiritual Power to enter the Outer City and had ulterior motives.
...
"Li Zheng,"
On the way back to the research institute, Mirel softly asked, "Weren’t you always trying to nd your relationship with Yakumo and them? You were about to succeed, so why did you suddenly make a move against her, further deepening the misunderstanding between the two of you?"
"nd the relationship?" Li Zheng glanced at her and said, "I never tried to save Kuimi to nd my relationship with her. It’s mainly because I felt I owed her a favor. Now that the favor is repaid, we’re even."
"But having one more friend is better than having one more enemy. I’m worried that because she’s so petty, after Kuimi is cured, she might still hold a grudge against you for today," Mirel said with concern.
"I’d rather not have friends who turn their backs in a flash," Li Zheng shook his head.
The first ti he released his Spiritual Power pressure, Yakumo’s hostile tone and gaze left a deep impression on him.
It reminded him of the ti in Matrix when he saved Shinoda Chizuru, only for her to turn around and accuse him of being a rapist.
Later, when he found Shinoda Chizuru, she looked at him with a similar gaze.
Even though he did nothing against her, why did he have to be treated like that?
He later ca to understand.
Good people should be the ones with guns pointed at them.
Because they can’t afford to offend truly bad people.
"Master," Mudala suddenly spoke up from behind, "Should I go back and kill them to eliminate future threats?"
Li Zheng paused, turning back to look at Mudala with indifferent eyes, "Without my orders, do not act on your own."
Mudala hastily said, "Master, dangers should be nipped in the bud. Once they grow, they will be a significant threat!"
"If that’s the case, the person I should kill most right now would be you," Li Zheng said, squinting his eyes. "After all, you were forced to sign the contract by . By the ti the contract is lifted, you will surely hate to the core."
"Please trust , Master!" Mudala deeply bowed, "I have no intention of betrayal!"
"You’re just saying that now," Li Zheng waved him off and continued walking to the next Teleportation Gate. There could be multiple Teleportation Gates within the sa district, serving as transit points between several districts, requiring so travel ti.
This was the main reason it took two to three days to teleport from District 4 to District 950—ti wasted in transit.
As for how to deal with Mudala, Li Zheng, though he promised to let her go whenever she wanted,
But just like Mudala said earlier, dangers should be nipped in the bud. Mudala spending over thirty years in isolation was certainly the work of the old Saintess.
But Li Zheng wasn’t entirely blaless either. He wasn’t sure whether Mudala, while hating the old Saintess, also wanted to kill him at the first chance.
However, perhaps due to the contract’s influence or her decision to stay, Mudala hadn’t ntioned leaving at all these days.
This made Li Zheng feel even more uncertain.
"Could it be that Mudala truly wants to use to take out the old Saintess, which is why she’s staying?"
At the sa ti, he suddenly thought of two people he hadn’t communicated with for a long ti.
He had once promised to try and get them registered as residents of the Outer City, and now it seed like it was ti.
