C120 A Man's Heart Is Not Enough to Swallow an Elephant
"What?!"
"Miss Xhu?!"
Hearing the voice coming from outside, Wen Zhongming and Gui Dehan's expressions changed at the same time, and they cried out involuntarily.
The next moment, Gui Dehan's face turned pale. An uncontrollable fear rose from the bottom of his heart. Wen Zhongming also panicked. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Gui Dehan. "What's going on? Didn't you say Zhu Ziqiao promised to hand over the treasure as long as I hand it over? What happened in the past?"
Gui Dehan's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say a word.
Looking at his expression, Wen Zhongming seemed to have realized something. His facial expression gradually became twisted. He stared at Gui Dehan fiercely, as if he was going to tear him apart.
Gui Dehan's face turned pale, and he no longer had the arrogance and pride he had before. Instead, his eyes were filled with panic, and his entire body trembled slightly.
"Patriarch! Patriarch..."
The voice outside shouted once again.
"Inform Second Young Master and Madam to run away immediately. The further away they run, the better. If I don't find them, tell them to never return to Cicheng again. Go and find Eldest Young Master, and let Eldest Young Master take revenge for me!"
After saying that, Wen Zhongming gritted his teeth and suddenly lifted Gui Dehan up. He held Gui Dehan in his hand and strode out.
Gui Dehan's entire body was trembling. He wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't say a single word.
At this moment, there was only one thing that echoed in his mind - it was over!
He never thought that Zhu Ziqiao and Lin Cheng would fight their way into the Wen Family so quickly. Last night, he told Zhu Ziqiao that Wen Zhongming killed her father, but judging from her expression, she seemed to be skeptical.
Furthermore, no matter what, Wen Zhongming was her foster father. Even if she suspected him, she would have to investigate carefully before making any moves.
It was because of this that Gui Dehan realized that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. If he made good use of this opportunity, not only would he be able to make a fortune, he would also be able to make a fortune. In fact, he might even be able to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources. Cultivation techniques, combat techniques... he might even have the chance to become a powerful expert!
More importantly, he could make use of Zhu Ziqiao's powerful strength and plan from within. In the end, it was very likely that he would obtain the treasures from back then!
That was a treasure left behind by a mighty figure within the cultivator!
It was precisely such an alluring future that made Gui Dehan tempted. Hence, after carefully planning for a while, he came to the Wen Family.
In fact, his plan had almost succeeded, just a little bit more!
Even if he was given an extra incense stick of time, he could still leave the Cicheng with ease and leave his hometown. When he became a mighty figure one day, he would definitely return to the Cicheng with glory.
Now, all of this had turned into a bubble of smoke!
And not only would he have to face Wen Zhongming's fury, he might even be hated by Zhu Ziqiao!
Gui Dehan's heart was filled with despair.
"Wen Zhongming!"
A clear and cold shout made Gui Dehan suddenly come back to his senses. He looked over and saw Zhu Ziqiao standing side by side with Lin Cheng not far away. Zhu Ziqiao's short sword was pointing in his direction.
Seeing Zhu Ziqiao, Gui Dehan's heart was ignited with hope. He hurriedly shouted, "Miss Xhu, save me. Wen Zhongming wants to kill me..."
Zhu Ziqiao was stunned when she heard that and frowned in surprise, "Gui Dehan?"
"That's the old man, Miss Xhu, save me..." Gui Dehan saw Zhu Ziqiao recognize him and immediately felt emboldened. He hurriedly shouted, "Wen Zhongming clearly knows that I followed Big Brother Zhu before, but he still wants to kill me. This is clearly not putting Big Brother Zhu in his eyes, much less Miss Xhu in his eyes!"
Hearing his shout, Wen Zhongming's facial expression changed constantly, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise and bewilderment.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this. He and Zhu Ziqiao looked at each other and saw the suspicion in each other's eyes. They all felt that something was wrong with Gui Dehan's words.
"Gui Dehan, so you are one of Wen Zhongming's men? If that's the case, why did you sell the news that Wen Zhongming is the murderer to Zhu Ziqiao?"
Lin Cheng said in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that you will take those gold coins to pay off the gambling debts and live a carefree life from now on? After you took those gold coins, you had nothing to do with Zhu Ziqiao anymore. What right do you have to ask Zhu Ziqiao to save you?"
"You..."
Gui Dehan's expression changed drastically when he heard her. He panicked and shouted, "Miss Xhu..."
"So you are not a messenger!"
Wen Zhongming lifted Gui Dehan up high. His voice was filled with killing intent. He said viciously, "You dare to pretend to be a messenger and trick me. You are courting death!"
Gui Dehan was so scared that his hands and feet turned cold. His soul almost left his body. He begged in a hurry, "Master of Wen Family, I know I was wrong. Please spare my dog life..."
Wen Zhongming said with killing intent, "You have humiliated me. How can I let you go?"
He could feel Wen Zhongming's killing intent. He was about to lose his life. Gui Dehan was so shocked that he wanted to die. He shouted hysterically, "Miss Xhu, save me. I know Wen Zhongming's secret chamber and the treasures from back then are also in his secret chamber..."
Puff!
In the next moment, before Gui Dehan could finish his words, Wen Zhongming's palm that contained terrifying Yuan energy slammed down on Gui Dehan's head. Gui Dehan's ugly head was instantly smashed into pieces like a pile of mud!
"Bang!"
Wen Zhongming casually threw Gui Dehan's corpse onto the ground. His entire body was incomparably cold, and his eyes were gloomy as he stared at Zhu Ziqiao and Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao looked at each other and couldn't help but understand.
Indeed, Gui Dehan had an ulterior motive!
Last night, they saw that Gui Dehan did not tell the truth in the end. They guessed that Gui Dehan definitely had an intention, but they could not guess what he wanted to do for a moment.
Now, they also did not know what Gui Dehan had done, but from Wen Zhongming's ruthless and ruthless actions, they could tell that Gui Dehan must be courting death.
Because Wen Zhongming had just said, You humiliated me like this. Gui Dehan was just a mere Body-refining Stage Adventurer, but he dared to humiliate Wen Zhongming, who was already considered a powerful expert. He could only seek his own death!
Looking at Gui Dehan's corpse, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. A man's heart is not enough to swallow an elephant. This Gui Dehan must not be satisfied with the gold coin he got last night. What other intentions did he have? That was why he died so miserably.
Only at this time did Lin Cheng have the time to carefully look at Wen Zhongming.
At this moment, Wen Zhongming was wearing a luxurious robe. At first glance, he did not look like a Cultivating Warrior, but his eyes, which were not shining with a bright light, made Lin Cheng secretly alert.
The bright light was restrained. The position he was standing at seemed casual, but there was a different kind of posture. Moreover, there were no flaws at all. Clearly, he was a veteran with rich combat experience and a very high level of Cultivation Level.
This was an expert!
"Wen Zhongming!"
Zhu Ziqiao's pretty face was frosty, but her voice was very calm as she asked, "Did you kill my parents?"
Wen Zhongming shook his head and said, "Jie'er, based on the current situation, even if I say that I did not kill your parents, would you believe me?"
Speaking up to this point, he let out a long sigh. " Sigh... After so many years of nurturing, it can't be compared to an outsider's provocation. If that's the case, then I have nothing to say. If you want to make a move, then make a move. "
Shameless!
But it's also very brilliant!
Lin Cheng couldn't help but praise in his heart.2
If they weren't enemies, Lin Cheng would definitely praise Wen Zhongming's smart move.
Wen Zhongming didn't admit that he killed Zhu Ziqiao's parents, nor did he deny it. Instead, he brought up the topic in a vague manner and emphasized that it was just a provocation from an outsider. He put himself in a position of grief.
If it wasn't for Steward Tong's instructions, as long as Zhu Ziqiao and Wen Zhongming still had some relationship between father and daughter, Zhu Ziqiao wouldn't have attacked Wen Zhongming after hearing these words.
It was just a few words that could create such an effect. Even Lin Cheng, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but praise in his heart. Wen Zhongming was able to reach his current level and become one of the parents of one of the two powerful races in Cicheng. Absolutely not by luck.
Unfortunately, Wen Zhongming didn't know about it yet. In fact, Zhu Ziqiao already knew about what happened in the past. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed by. The short sword in Zhu Ziqiao's hand drew a cold light and pierced towards Wen Zhongming.
In the next moment, Wen Zhongming, who was standing there with a sad face and seemed to surrender, the moment Zhu Ziqiao attacked, he also attacked. A crystal clear jade box suddenly appeared in his hand and blocked Zhu Ziqiao's short sword.
"Dang!"
The short sword and the jade box collided with a clear sound.
After a short exchange, both of them retreated at the same time.
Immediately after, a hint of surprise appeared on Wen Zhongming's face. His eyes flashed with a trace of excitement, and he asked with a probing tone, "You, you're still a Cultivating Warrior, not a cultivator?!"
Zhu Ziqiao said with a cold smile, "Wen Zhongming, your shameless face has finally revealed itself. Didn't you say that you would let me do whatever I want? En?"
Wen Zhongming put on a sad expression as if he was resigned to his fate. However, the moment Zhu Ziqiao made her move, Wen Zhongming had already made his move. His speed was even a little faster than Zhu Ziqiao's.
This was because Wen Zhongming's strength was obviously a little higher. But more importantly, obviously, Wen Zhongming was prepared to attack. What he had said earlier... It was all fake. The moment he attacked... His shameless face was completely exposed!
However, at this moment, Wen Zhongming did not care about Zhu Ziqiao's sarcasm at all. He stared at Zhu Ziqiao, and his face revealed a look of ecstasy. "You are not a cultivator! Haha! Zhu Ziqiao, you're just a mere Eighth and Ninth Level Chakra Stage Cultivation Level. You dare to impersonate a cultivator to threaten me?"
Zhu Ziqiao said with a calm expression," Even if I am only a Chakra Stage, it will not affect my determination to avenge my parents. Today, I will definitely kill you! "
