Girl, I'm your benefactor!
No matter how overbearing the woman in red was, or how powerful the Skyspan Trading Company's background was, Ye Zichen didn't care. Ye Zichen didn't seem to mind. Instead, he smiled inexplicably.
"Do you think I'm one of those bandits who stole your Skyspan Trading Company's resources?"
Ye Zichen's aura had changed, and he radiated an aura of righteousness. This change startled the woman in red, but she still nodded noncommittally.
"That's right."
"Alright, then I'd like to ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, I'll tell you everything I know!"
"Go ahead!"
The woman in red smiled calmly. Ye Zichen's transformation had only affected her for an instant. The way she saw it, Ye Zichen was one of those black-robed men's accomplices. She wanted to see what he had to say.
"When was your Skyspan Trading Company robbed?"
"A week ago!"
"Did they rob you before?"
"Yes!"
"Then did you capture any of them?"
"Yes!"
"Did they leave any survivors?"
"No!"
"What I've asked you is the truth!"
"Yes!"
Their conversation was short and to the point. After asking these questions, Ye Zichen nodded in satisfaction and stopped asking questions. His eyes lit up with a faint smile.
"Very good. If everything you say is the truth, then everything will be easy to handle."
"I'd like to hear the details!" The woman in red gestured for Ye Zichen to begin, then sat cross-legged on a leather cushion and quietly waited for him to perform.
"As for my identity, I have three ways to prove myself.
First, my apprentice and I are innocent. My name is Ye Zichen, and my apprentice is Wu Di of Raging Flame City's Wu Family. We left Black Ox Town four days ago and hurried to Raging Flame City. We've been in Black Ox Town this entire time, which doesn't match the time you were robbed. If you don't believe me, you can go to Black Ox Town and investigate. I trust that with your extraordinary abilities, you'll definitely get to the bottom of this.
Secondly, you said that they tried to rob you before, but they didn't leave any survivors. In that case, it's obvious that they're a disciplined group. In order to prevent you from catching them, they committed suicide. It's even more likely that someone controlling them from behind the scenes used some sort of method to kill them. Don't say that's impossible. I'm sure you know about soul chains. So here's the problem: if I'm a member of that organization, why didn't I commit suicide and why am I still alive?
Third, let's say I'm a member of that organization and successfully obtained your ring. Would I foolishly stand there and wait for you to come over and let you take the ring back effortlessly? Do you think I's brain isn't enough? Or do you think that I've found my conscience and want to turn myself in and start anew?
This is my answer to prove our innocence. Please begin your performance! "
"Big breasts but no brains" was precisely what the red-clothed woman meant. Anyone could understand such a simple principle, but she'd never thought of it. She'd even had Ye Zichen explain it to her.
"Editor" Yi "She Master: She's More had" than "
"She" d: If She could, she, she could could've thought. "Ye" Ye "was" Two Ye Was Was the Long Master.
"She" Ye "t" Sect "'Heart," Two Centre's "Ye the the the She the the the"
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Ye Zichen's words made sense.
As for what happened in Black Ox Town, she'd naturally send people to investigate. However, after hearing Ye Zichen's explanation, she was somewhat certain he wasn't working with the black-clothed men.
It hadn't been easy for her to make a breakthrough, but this was the result ….
It was a bit of a pity, wasn't it?
Wu Di and Xue Beibei looked at Ye Zichen strangely. Their master really was brilliant. With just a few words, he'd cleared up all their doubts. As for Xue Beibei, she felt like this lecher was a completely different person.
"Then can you explain? You said you picked up the ring, but I still find it hard to believe …."
It was clear that Ye Zichen's words had already taken effect. The woman's tone was no longer as sharp as before.
Ye Zichen pressed his lips into a smile, then reverted to his former lecherous self.
"That's why I said I'm your benefactor!"
Before the woman in red could say anything, Ye Zichen crossed his legs and leaned back against the carriage in satisfaction.
"In truth, there are some things I didn't want to say. I was just worried you'd fall in love with me. But since you kept pressing me for answers, I had no choice but to tell you. In truth, my apprentice and I were resting when we happened to see a few strange-looking black-clothed men appear. My sharp intuition told me that they were definitely up to no good.
Seeing that they were about to pass by us, in the blink of an eye … I swept my leg and knocked one of the men in black to the ground. Then, I used Dragon's Bind Hand … "
Perhaps he really had gone overboard with his acting. In order to make his words even more vivid, Ye Zichen even added some action. Especially when he said his last move, his hand broke free of the Immortal Binding Chains, and directly clasped onto ….
The woman in red's …. most important part.
Instantly, the entire world seemed to come to a standstill.
Wu Di gaped at him in astonishment. Xue Beibei covered her mouth and stared wide-eyed at him. As for the woman in red …. It was as if someone had cast a body-freezing spell on her. She froze in place.
"Cough, cough!"
Ye Zichen realized that he'd gone a bit overboard. He hurriedly retracted his hands, then scratched his head and coughed dryly.
"In short, I subdued that person and snatched the ring from him. Then I ran into ….. you …. And then …. I …. took the ring …. "
The more Ye Zichen went on, the less confident he became. He could already sense the woman's gaze, ready to tear him to shreds.
Ye Zichen gulped, then waved his hands in front of him and smiled bitterly.
"Hey …. Don't get so worked up, girl. I can swear on my honor that I really didn't do it on purpose. Let's just pretend it never happened. Hey …. Don't move …. Girl, why are you grabbing a knife? I'm your benefactor …. Hey, why did you pull out an axe? Girl, we're living in a harmonious society. We can't do this. Killing people is against the law. You're still young, so you absolutely can't do anything stupid. Hey, what are you doing? I'm your benefactor. Why are you walking over to me with a knife and axe …. I'm your benefactor, girl. Don't get so worked up. I'm your benefactor! "
