It's not me.
Chu Zheng picked up the spirit artifact expressionlessly and looked around at the buildings.
"I saw it all!" The thief gritted his teeth and said, "You compensate me!"
Sometimes what the eyes see is not the truth. Chu Zheng retorted solemnly.
Thief: "..."
He clearly saw that it was her who tripped him up. Why could she recognize him so confidently!!
Even he, who has been a thief for many years, is not as shameless as her.
The thief glanced at the spiritual artifact in Chu Zheng's hand and saw her looking around again, having an idea in his mind.
He must get the spirit stones today, otherwise...
The thief jumped up suddenly, grabbed one end of the spirit artifact and ran away. However, after running for two steps, he couldn't run any further.
The thief turned around. The girl with a cold expression held one end of the spirit artifact and gently pulled it towards her. He couldn't help but step back and was kicked open in the lower back by the girl.
"Got it on my head?"
Does she look easy to snatch already?
The thief held his lower back and looked at her in a somewhat frightened manner. The girl in front of him seemed expressionless, but she gave him a very fierce impression.
He didn't care about any spiritual artifacts and got up in a fluster, crawling towards one end of the alley.
Chu Zheng chased after him for a couple of steps. The alley was winding and twisting, and the thief soon disappeared without a trace.
It runs quite fast!
-
A dim basement.
In the damp and musty cell, a teenager leaned against the cold wall, looking listlessly at the mouse running past him.
His hands and feet were chained with iron chains, and there were mottled bloodstains on his face and body.
The jingling sound of keys colliding and the footsteps getting closer and closer.
Then someone spoke, "This place is really unlucky."
"Hey, if it weren't for the good treatment, who would come here?"
"Exactly."
How is he?
The two people stopped in front of the prison gate and said, "I brought him food yesterday but he didn't eat it. Including the day before yesterday, it's already been two days."
"Neither eating nor drinking. Does he want to starve himself to death?"
"Who knows? We can't let him die. Otherwise, there won't be an explanation over there." "
"Go and get some food here." The chain hit the cell door with a soft sound: "Even today, I have to pour him in."
Someone left and the prison door was pushed open at the same time, but that person didn't go in. He just stood at the door.
Who are you?
The young man suddenly heard a scolding, and then the man fell in front of him.
The young man stared blankly at the fallen person. After a long while, he slowly raised his head. Standing in front of the prison gate was a girl.
The girl walked into the cell, seemingly impatiently kicked away the person blocking the way, and then squatted in front of him.
"Li Tang?" The girl's voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of coldness in it.
The young man's listless eyes slightly became focused.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Zheng must be right. She pulled the iron chain to take a look and then pulled out the spiritual artifact.
Even though the young man's eyes had a focal point, he was still staring at her blankly at this moment, as if he were a doll that didn't know how to think.
A flash of cold light from the spiritual artifact passed by. The young man closed his eyes. The wind swept across his eyelashes, and the cold light flashed across his pale yet refined face.
Clang!
The iron chain was cut off and dropped to the ground. The mouse in the corner was frightened and squeaked away.
"Come with me." Chu Zheng turned and left.
She walked out of the prison door. The young man didn't move at all. His closed eyes opened, empty and numb, exuding a deathly aura.
Chu Zheng: "..."
Chu Zheng walked back and pulled the person up with one hand.
She let go of the young man. The young man seemed to have no strength in his feet and couldn't stand steadily at all. He fell down directly.
The young man stared at her with that empty and listless gaze.
Chu Zheng: "..." No! I didn't mean it! Who knew you were so weak that you couldn't even stand steadily! Don't look at me!
Chu Zheng looked at his legs. The rough fabric was stained with dark red blood. She put him back, squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs.
The young man stared blankly at her movements without any reaction.
The trouser legs were rolled up, and there were scars on the lower legs, of different ages. Some had scabbed over, while others were still bleeding.
The higher it went, the more miserable it became. By the time it reached the knees, it was already a bloody mess.
Chu Zheng fell silent for a moment and then lowered his trouser legs.
It was really miserable before turning evil.
So the question arises. What should we do now? This "Good Person Card" seems to be dying soon. Just give it up...
Take him out. The King is going crazy.
How to get out? Drag it out or throw it out?
[...] Young lady, are you here to stop him from turning evil or to help him turn evil!! Take it out! The kind in a princess hug!
Chu Zheng: "..." You bastard, are you okay? You want me to give a princess hug to a male creature?
Otherwise, would you carry him? The King is going to be furious.
Chu Zheng thought about agreeing.
"Little sister! Little ancestor! Look at him like that. Can he hold on? He'll die!!" The King roared to stop Chu Zheng from killing the Good Person Card. "Think about the Good Person card, think about going back! Don't you feel much calmer now?"
Chu Zheng: "..."
Chu Zheng stared at the young man for a long time. Finally, he bent down and picked him up. The weight was so light that it exceeded Chu Zheng's expectations.
Chu Zheng carried him out of the cell door, passing through the dim corridor. On both sides were cell doors, and inside were stained with old blood.
There was light ahead. The young man suddenly looked over there, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his eyes.
But just at that moment, over there, the light and shadow flickered, and someone came.
"Why was it opened?" "
"Go down and have a look."
The young man's body began to tremble imperceptibly. Chu Zheng looked down at him, still with that dull expression.
Chu Zheng stroked his back with his palm, waiting for the person above to come down.
You are doing... Who are you! Those who came down tensed their bodies and quickly took out their weapons.
The rest of the people above heard the commotion and came down one after another, among them was someone who was familiar with the zither.
"Beauty?" Young Master Song was also astonished and then turned to surprise, "How could you be here? I just said we have a great connection."
"Young Master!" The person beside reminded, "She is holding that wild seed."
It was only then that Young Master Song noticed Li Tang in Chu Zheng's arms. His expression changed slightly: "Beauty, what are you doing?"
You've seen it and still ask. Chu Zheng's cold gaze swept over: "You are not only useless but also blind."
The group of followers beside Young Master Song: "..."
I'll go!
This little girl actually dared to scold their son.
Young Master Song's face darkened in displeasure. "Put that bastard down and come with me. I pretend this never happened."
"No." How can a good person card be thrown away casually! If you want to die, you can only die at my hands.
[...] One shouldn't have too much expectation of the young lady.
Young Master Song sneered, "Beauty, don't show any shame. Do you know how powerful our Song family is in Shangning City?" Offending me is not a wise move.
Chu Zheng said in a casual tone, "Then I won't raise it."
"..."
Young Master Song pointed at her with his finger in the air and said, "Alright, a beauty has backbone. Today, I'll see how backbone you can be."
"Arrest her for me." Young Master Song ordered his attendants, his frivolous and bare eyes swirling over Chu Zheng's body: "Don't hurt my beauty. Since she likes this place so much, I'll be here for a while, in front of this bastard, and enjoy it to the fullest with you."
I advise you to leave quickly. Chu Zheng's tone was calm.
"Since you brought the beauty to my door yourself, how could I just leave like this?"
