C425 Qi Zhen's Conspiracy
Abyssal Spider did not have any clear levels, other than its own poison, there was nothing else that was worthy of praise. Therefore, to deal with it, one only needed to use a small amount of spirit energy to activate a treasure.
Liao Xiaoduo took out the Linglong Treasure Pagoda, infused his spiritual energy into it and aimed at the Abyssal Spider above him.
"Drink it!"
In an instant, the Linglong Treasure Pagoda rose from his hands and a strong suction force appeared. The Abyssal Spider was sucked into the pagoda without even being able to resist.
Everything was over!
Liao Xiaoduo let out a long breath and felt a lot more relaxed. Even his sleepiness suddenly came over.
However, before he took a break, he thought about who was the mastermind behind this incident. In the end, he locked onto a target — — Qi Zhen.
"I knew Qi Zhen was Gong Heng's trusted aide from the very beginning, coupled with the hatred in the Stats Window. That's why he's the only one on Mercury with a reason to deal with me …"
Liao Xiaoduo felt that his guess was very likely to be correct.
"It's probably not over yet. How should I prevent it?"
On the surface, Qi Zhen was also a Star Martial Cultivator. However, with Gong Heng's precedent, if he was smart, he wouldn't have fought against himself directly. He would have to resort to schemes and tricks.
For example, the poison incident, an unexpected move, had almost forced him into a corner. If it wasn't for the System's ability to purge him of the [Absolute Purification], he would have been dead for sure.
"Right, System!"
Liao Xiaoduo's eyes lit up. Against these unpredictable and insidious moves, the System had always been his reliance.
As long as the System was here, he had the confidence to face all the dangers safely.
However, the basis for using the system was money, but Liao Xiaoduo was very, very poor right now.
"Currently, there are fewer and fewer high-level Starry Sky Beast on Mercury. I estimate that it won't be long before we can completely reclaim Mercury, so it wouldn't be realistic to rely on Starry Sky Beast s to gather wealth …"
Liao Xiaoduo was a bit distressed. He was too poor. He only had five chances this time, and was only a little bit away from getting a lifesaving item. Luckily, he was lucky.
However, the Emperor of Europe would occasionally become the Chief of the United Kingdom. He only hoped that luck was unreliable and needed to find a way to earn some money to save it. After all, the number of people who could draw the lottery was too large.
As for how to earn money, Liao Xiaoduo didn't have a good idea.
"Hai, after the Mercury mission is over, we can go back to Earth and find time to use Dugu Qiubai's ID to earn some money."
This was the most effective method he could think of at the moment.
… ….
The night passed without any dreams. After resolving the Abyssal Spider's crisis, Liao Xiaoduo slept soundly. The next day, he went to find Wuh Ya in high spirits, preparing to continue his daily sword arts training.
He had made up his mind. Since Qi Zhen wouldn't let him go on a mission, it would be better to just stay in the base. At least the inside of the base was safer than outside.
"Senior Brother, is your body alright?"
Wuh Ya asked with some lingering fear before she started practicing her sword skills.
After all, yesterday was too sudden. She was still worried that Liao Xiaoduo would hide something from her because he didn't want her to worry.
"It's fine, Ya, don't worry, my body is much stronger than yours. Right now, it's not a problem even if I have to fight with [S] class Starry Sky Beast!"
Liao Xiaoduo's old face turned red. He felt that Wuh Ya's gaze was looking at a fragile item, but he couldn't refute her.
Ai, since I've met Wuh Ya, I've been through too many life and death situations. It's hard for her to worry about me every day.0
Everything went on as usual. When it was almost noon, Wuh Ya finally felt relieved when she saw Liao Xiaoduo was still full of energy.
"Senior Brother, it's time to go eat lunch."
"Alright!"
Liao Xiaoduo wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed Wuh Ya to Mercury Base's cafeteria.
As the two were eating, an unexpected person sat beside them.
It was Qi Zhen!
"Liao Xiaoduo, can you give me your seat? I have something to discuss with Wuh Ya."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Liao Xiaoduo didn't give up his seat. He wasn't too familiar with Qi Zhen, and they had only seen each other a few times a month, so he could count them with one hand. Moreover, he had speculated that Qi Zhen was the mastermind behind his actions.
Moreover, what matter did he have to discuss with Wuh Ya?
Qi Zhen looked at Liao Xiaoduo with a smile. She didn't accuse him of disrespecting her, but sat down on the side and said with a meaningful look, "Liao Xiaoduo, you still don't know, right? Wuh Ya is the daughter of the Head of the Guards.
"I know, what's wrong?" Many months had passed, but in reality, Wuh Ya had already confessed her identity to him in private.
Qi Zhen choked. She didn't expect Liao Xiaoduo to already know about it. However, she wasn't surprised. She continued, "The difference in status between you and Wuh Ya is too big. I advise you not to think about doing anything that you shouldn't do."
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"It didn't have anything to do with me in the past, but it does now." Qi Zhen passed a cup of yogurt to Wuh Ya. Wuh Ya didn't pick it up, so he didn't mind and continued to talk to Liao Xiaoduo, "The Führer called in the morning, school is about to start. He asked us to escort Wuh Ya back to school, I decided to personally protect …"
Before Qi Zhen could finish, Wuh Ya interrupted him impatiently, "I don't want you to send me back. It's also senior martial brother that wants to send me back."
Indeed, it was almost time for school to start. Wuh Ya knew that her father wanted her to go back. They had already agreed on this before, but her father didn't tell her about the escort.
She wasn't a child, so she didn't need any escort. What's more, was Qi Zhen that leek? Why should he escort her back?
"Liao Xiaoduo is, after all, the Star Martial Cultivator and he is very powerful. Mercury still needs him to guard it." Qi Zhen was quite patient with Liao Xiaoduo, "It's best if I escort you back."
"Do you mean it's the same whether you're here on Mercury or not? Then why are you still acting as a commander? " Wuh Ya mocked.
Qi Zhen: "…"
What he said was too unpleasant to listen to. He sounded like a piece of trash. Qi Zhen was silent for a moment.
When he first found out about Wuh Ya's identity, he had already made up his mind to get on good terms with her. He hated her for being with Liao Xiaoduo all day, and he had been waiting for this opportunity.
After all, she was the daughter of the head of state, so her power was immense. If he married her, he would have to struggle for at least 20 years less!
Thus, if it wasn't for this thought in his mind, he definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it.
"The escort team was decided by the leader. Ya, don't be willful." Qi Zhen said.
"Impossible!" I'll call Dad right now! " Wuh Ya didn't believe him.
