C30 Let's Get Going Now

After Xia Xue's figure disappeared, Ye Zhen took the lead and spoke:

"The Palace Lord wants me to come out of the palace to save the young master, right?"

"Do you think the young master should be saved?" Qi Qiqi asked.

"Of course he should be saved, but - "

"I know what you want to say. It's just about Qin Chen. Under the circumstances where the truth is still unclear, you can't move as the only person in Heaven Stage. Is that what you think?"

Ye Zhen did not answer as if he had already tacitly agreed.

What should I do? How can I convince Ye Zhen? Is it true that he said he did not believe him? 'Did I really not believe him?' No, before that, the matter of Qin Chen was still there - sigh! So annoying.

Qi Qiqi scratched her head in despair, completely ignoring whether or not Ye Zhen, who was standing beside her, was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Qi Qiqi suddenly recalled the words she overheard that day -

"There are some things that have never been chosen correctly. Sometimes, it is not about whether or not it is right or not."

"Is it a question of whether I want to or not..." Qi Qiqi muttered to herself in a daze.

What do I want to do? Hmm... I want to save the little ancestor.

And then... If he really wanted to save the young master and convince Ye Zhen as Senior Sister Lo had said, how could he convince him?

Qi Qiqi thought about it for a while, but she could not think of a solution. This made her feel a little irritated.

This was enough! So annoying! Qi Qiqi scratched her hair again until it was in a mess before she stopped.

It was all because of Ye Zhen! Qi Qi glared fiercely at Ye Zhen.

"Palace Lord, you - "

"It's all your fault!"

Qi Qiqi no longer cared about the "Palace Lord's manners."

"You're blaming me?" Ye Zhen seemed to be unable to react in time.

Qi Qiqi crossed her arms and pointed at Ye Zhen as she said indignantly:

"Ye Zhen, you said I didn't trust you, right? Tell me the truth, I really did not trust you! However, you are also responsible for this! [Look at you! You always stand aside like a piece of wood. You don't even say a word. You don't show any expression on your face. I don't even know what you are thinking. How can I believe you?] [Do you think you are a master?] Let me tell you, you don't seem like one at all!"

Qi Qiqi fired off her complaints one by one. She was like a child who had had enough. She did not hide her feelings at all and did not have the slightest bit of the manner that a Palace Lord should have.

"What kind of expression is that? Was she very surprised? What is there to be surprised about? Let me tell you, I have been unhappy with you for a long time! I'm still suspecting that you were the one who killed Qin Chen, so you have an excuse to force me to abdicate! Otherwise, you want to create a reputation crisis for me!"

Unwittingly, her face had already turned completely red from all the abuse. When she spoke of her excitement, she even stomped hard on the ground as if the floor was actually Ye Zhen's.

"I not only suspect that you are the mastermind behind the murders of Qin Chen, but I also suspect that you are involved in the matter of the young master. The purpose is to eliminate all obstructions to deal with me!"

It had to be mentioned that Qi Qiqi did have her suspicions, but there was no evidence at all.

"Alright, I'm finished."

Qi Qiqi took several deep breaths to calm her heaving chest.

At this moment, she felt carefree.

Qi Qiqi thought of the Xue Qilin that she labeled as someone who didn't know how to hide anything. No wonder that bastard scolded her every time he said anything!

Ye Zhen seemed to have yet to recover from his shock. He looked at Qi Qiqi in a daze and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"What's the matter? If you have something to say, then hurry up and say it..."

"... Although there are many disagreements between you and me, I disdain to do things that are detrimental to the Heavenly Jade Palace, and I never thought of harming you!"

Ye Zhen addressing her as "Qi" stunned Qi Qiqi.

Only then did Qi Qiqi recall that Ye Zhen had watched her grow up since she was young. Before she became the Palace Lord, he had always called her Qi.

When did she forget? When did she start to suspect him? Qi Qiqi did not know.

Ye Zhen shook his head in relief and then said with a bitter smile:

"I'm not a person who knows how to express myself, so it's not strange for you to not believe me. It's just that I didn't expect you to think so highly of me."

Qi Qiqi was stunned for a moment, but then she curled her lips.

"You didn't believe me, did you?"

"I..." After saying one word, Ye Zhen shook his head and said bitterly, "Indeed."

Ye Zhen remained silent for a moment before continuing:

"Without realizing it, I began to suspect you."

For some reason, Qi Qiqi understood what he meant.

When there was a gap between the two of them, there would gradually be a crack and the trust between the two of them would be broken. That was probably the case. Qi Qiqi thought.

..."Young Master, please be saved."

Ye Zhen suddenly said. Once again, he revealed that expressionless and rigid expression.

"Of course I know, but are you willing to help me?"

"I'm not willing to help or not. I'm just afraid of killing Qin Chen's men."

"Do you really suspect Ms. Ting?"

Qi Qiqi frowned. Ye Zhen did not care at all and said as if it was only natural:

"I'm not familiar with her, so it's only natural for me to suspect her. It's just like how you suspect me."

"... So, you have also suspected me?"

"I saved Qin Chen for the sake of the Heavenly Jade Palace's overall strength. You were very dissatisfied with this - I know that, so..."

"I would never resort to such schemes, and Ms. Ting and I are as close as sisters, so I would never harm her!"

Perhaps it was because Ye Zhen's words had stepped on her tail, Qi Qiqi stated in an unpleasant tone.

Ye Zhen remained silent, but Qi Qiqi said snappily:

"So, the biggest problem now is that we don't trust each other."

"Yes, and Qin Chen's death also limited our actions."

..." Then should we just let the little ancestor go?"

"Of course not."

"If there is a way, then hurry up and tell me!"

Looking at the relaxed Ye Zhen, Qi Qiqi was starting to get impatient.

"That will depend on whether the Palace Lord is willing to trust me and give his life to me."

"What do you mean?"

"I can go out of the palace to save the little Martial Ancestor, but the Palace Lord will have to follow me as well. There will be no one else but you and me."

Qi Qiqi frowned. Ye Zhen was just testing her to see if she was willing to believe him.

After all, if the two of them left the palace together, Ye Zhen would still have an excuse to push the blame to others, such as when Qi Qiqi died in the hands of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

On the other hand, he also wanted Ye Zhen to leave the palace with him so that he could have some peace of mind.

Otherwise, once he left the Heavenly Jade Palace, the remaining Lau Chengzong and Yang Yuning would not be able to contend against him at all. Furthermore, he had also admitted that he suspected Lee Wanting and would naturally think that Lee Wanting would have the chance to return to the Heavenly Jade Palace at any time. She might even be hiding in the Heavenly Jade Palace. Under such circumstances, he did not dare to leave the palace, for the matter of Qin Chen was still unclear.

Could he really be trusted? But if he was not trusted, he would not leave the palace, and the young ancestor would be afraid... Qi Qiqi sighed heavily. Under such circumstances, was there any other choice? More importantly, she had an inexplicable desire to save the Xue Qilin. She didn't know the reason, but she did.

"Alright, I promise you."

It was rare for Ye Zhen to reveal a gratified expression. Then, he said casually:

"Then, there is no time to lose. Let's set off now."

"So fast?!"

"He's just trying to be mysterious. If we disappear at the same time, what do you think will happen to him if we kill Qin Chen?"

Qi Qiqi thought about it and said with uncertainty:

"I don't dare to act rashly."

"I hit the mark."

The corner of Ye Zhen's mouth curled up slightly as if everything was under his control.
