In fact, everyone understood Zheng Wei's current predicant.
Not calling for rescue doesn't an he didn't want help; it's more likely that he didn't dare.
And indeed, that was the case. Zheng Wei now dared not call for help, or even take a pill to treat his internal injuries, or retreat to a safe distance.
Because he knew very well that if he did any of those things, the only outco would be imdiate death, without any other result.
So, he could only hope that Xiao Feng and the others would see this situation and reveal themselves early to rescue him.
"What's wrong? You still don't plan to call your accomplices to save you?" Feng Haotian asked with a strange tone, twisting his pinky in his nose.
"Xiao Feng intends to play the long ga; this ti, I heard only one ca, so he didn't plan to make a move." Zheng Wei replied weakly.
If he didn't stop the bleeding soon, he was afraid he wouldn't last five minutes before passing out from blood loss.
Ji Shengli struggled to place his hands behind his back, then pounded twice on it and said, "Since there are no reinforcents, you should prepare to be punished. Surely you rember how traitors are punished in the sect?"
Zheng Wei's body trembled at the words, and he hurriedly said, "I can make ands for my cris."
"Oh?" Holy Army crossed his arms and sneered, "How do you plan to make ands for your cris?"
"I have already gained so initial trust from Xiao Feng's people. By taking advantage of this, I can poison their food and kill them all," Zheng Wei said quickly.
"Sounds good, but the problem is, how can we believe you?" Ji Shengli asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Haotian said, "It's simple, to show his resolve, let him eat this."
The other three looked over simultaneously, only to see him holding up his right pinky, where there was a large piece of snot.
Xiao Feng's mouth twitched twice, thinking, what kind of psyche do these Celestial Defect Sect mbers have? Each one seems more disgusting than the last.
Thinking back to the person who spat all over Jiuyou Town and looking at the one with the raised pinky now, it's hard not to suspect this is a trait of the Celestial Defect Sect.
Zheng Wei's legs trembled slightly, not out of fear, but because he was losing blood for so long, his legs felt weak, and he began to find it hard to stand.
He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "Even if I really ate it, it wouldn't prove anything, Feng Haotian, you don't have to disgust like this."
"A traitor like you has no right to say whether it's necessary or not." Feng Haotian shook his head boredly and flicked the snot away, landing precisely on a tombstone straight ahead.
Conveniently, the location was right in the middle of the mouth of the person in the photo on the tombstone.
Feng Haotian was not afraid or superstitious; instead, he laughed and said, "Look, you didn't eat it, so the dead get to enjoy it!"
Just then, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he shouted sternly, "Who's there? Co out!"
"Brother Feng, have we been discovered?" Hui Shiqi, squatting behind the crowd and confused about the situation, asked.
Hui Yi shook his head and replied, "No, it seems there's soone else hiding here besides us."
Saying so, he revealed a relaxed smile.
At least, he thought, he wouldn't have to be the first to rush out and take the risk.
Xiao Feng and the others were full of doubts, wondering who would be lurking in such a place at night?
And who could that person be?
"If you don't co out, I'll kill you!" Feng Haotian shouted angrily.
Monts later, soone stood up from behind the stone stele, raising their hands above their head and said, "Don't, don't! Brother, I really didn't an to eavesdrop, it was just a coincidence, a pure coincidence!"
Upon hearing the plea, Xiao Feng felt a trace of doubt and muttered, "Why does this voice sound so familiar?"
"Who are you?" Feng Haotian grabbed the collar of the person surrendering and pulled them in front of him, asking fiercely.
"I'm Ji Liangcai, the guy who guards the cetery gate. I didn't hear a word of what you just said, please let go!"
Xiao Feng was dumbfounded; he couldn't believe he'd run into this oddball here.
To be honest, if there was anyone who left the deepest impression on him in the chapel that day, it was none other than Ji Liangcai, and he believed others felt the sa.
The reason being, his eccentricity had reached an unparalleled level.
Thinking back, Xiao Feng realized that when Ji Liangcai said the invitation was picked up, he might not have been lying.
After all, according to Lv Ziming, those buried here were at least of middle-class status. There might just be soone who left the invitation behind during a visit.
"How should we deal with this guy?" Feng Haotian turned to ask.
Ji Liangcai's heart was in his mouth, and he quickly said, "Let go, I really heard nothing, and I swear, I won't reveal a word of tonight's events!"
"Shut up!" Feng Haotian rebuked.
Holy Army looked at Ji Shengli, who was still pounding his back, and said, "Since he shares your surna, you decide."
Ji Shengli had a fit of coughing, sounding so severe that one couldn't help suspecting he was suffering from severe tuberculosis.
Ji Liangcai seized the chance and quickly said, "Look, since we both share the surna Ji, we might have been the sa family five hundred years ago. Going back a few generations, we might even be relatives."
"Cough, cough, cough... So?" Ji Shengli asked amid coughing.
"So, you absolutely can't kill . If we're of the sa lineage, wouldn't killing each other be like flooding The Dragon King's temple—family not recognizing family?"
Ji Shengli thought for a mont and said, "Whether or not to kill you depends on your luck. Co here."
"Are you sure you won't make a move?" Ji Liangcai asked suspiciously.
"Stop with the nonsense!" Feng Haotian impatiently kicked him.
Ji Liangcai yelped in pain and stumbled forward.
"Bang!"
Ji Shengli reacted swiftly, catching him, holding Ji Liangcai's wrist, and closing his eyes, as if to seriously feel sothing.
After a while, Ji Shengli opened his eyes and smiled, "You're lucky. There's a path to life before you; it's up to you whether you'll take it."
"Please, tell ."
"Acknowledge as your master, join my sect, follow my orders, and work for ," Ji Shengli said with a light smile.
Ji Liangcai knew there was no way out. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Before I acknowledge you as my master, can I ask what you can teach , what sect I'd be joining, and what I would have to do?"
Taking advantage of the distraction, Zheng Wei discreetly took a pill from his pocket and put it into his mouth.
He had three pills: one in the left pocket, one in the right pocket, and another in the pocket of his jacket.
This was to ensure there was a backup just in case anything went wrong.
After taking the pill, his complexion improved slightly; at least the trembling in his legs was gradually subsiding.
anwhile, Ji Shengli said to Ji Liangcai, "Do you want to see what I can do?"
Ji Liangcai nodded.
He figured asking was redundant because he dared not say no.
