The overly mysterious Chi Mei
The autumn wind rustled.
In the Lower Lands, the four seasons weren't all that different in temperature, but Chi Mei told Ye Zichen that it was actually autumn.
She'd asked Ye Zichen to disrupt the Xiao Family and Gao Family's deal.
He'd just agreed to go, then a second later, Chi Mei told him …..
The deal was tonight.
There was no time for negotiation. She'd obviously already decided that he'd go with her.
"This woman …. She's not as simple as I thought."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but mutter to himself as he followed Chi Mei down the ancient path. From the first time they'd met until now, Chi Mei had always felt mysterious and unfathomable.
Since the four of them were going to disrupt the deal, Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong naturally had to tag along.
Against the Xiao Family's emissary, these two ninth-stage earth supremes were their only bargaining chips.
"Are you sure it's okay to dress like this?"
Ye Zichen and the others didn't disguise themselves in the slightest. They wore their usual clothes, and didn't even bother covering their faces.
"It's fine. The Xiao Family is also worried that the emissary's frequent dealings with the Gao Family will cause them to get on good terms with each other. In order to prevent that from happening, the Xiao Family sends a different representative each time. Furthermore, this time, the Gao Family sent his son, not the head of the family. We've never met each other before, so there's no problem with us going like this. If we deliberately cover up, it'll only make them suspicious. "
Chi Mei, who was walking at the front, chuckled. Ye Zichen wondered how she knew so much, so he spoke up.
Ye Zichen said, "If that's the case, they must have some sort of secret code. We don't know about that."
Chi Mei stopped abruptly when she heard that. Ye Zichen, Jiao Qi, and the others stopped as well. Chi Mei smiled calmly.
Chi Mei smiled calmly and said, "I asked you to come here, so don't always look ahead. If I dared to come find you, I naturally know everything. "
As soon as he said that, a flash of light appeared in his palm. He slapped his palm against a towering ancient tree. Not long after, the ancient tree also flashed with a ray of light. At this moment, Chi Mei also uttered a few sentences that were difficult to understand.
"Open."
With a shrill cry, a door suddenly appeared in the middle of the towering tree. Chi Mei turned to Ye Zichen and the others.
"Let's go."
Chi Mei took the lead and walked in. Jiao Qi, who was standing outside, frowned as he looked at the ancient tree.
"Young Master, doesn't she know too much?"
Even Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong were a little suspicious of Chi Mei's actions. She had appeared right in front of them, right outside the store, and was preparing to ambush them. She had also appeared right at the time when the two parties were about to make a deal.
All of this gave Jiao Qi and the others a very strange feeling.
She even knew the time and location of the trade between the Xiao and Gao Families. She even knew about this secret space. After all, Jiao Qi, the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's Skyfiends, and Upheaval's extensive intelligence network hadn't been able to find out about this.
"Young Master, on the way here, Jiao Qi and I thought that the people who suddenly appeared at the Sundry Goods Store and prepared to ambush us were actually people brought by this woman."
Meng Huairong frowned. She and Jiao Qi hadn't stopped talking on the way here.
When they put all this together, the only possibility they could think of was that Chi Mei had planned all of this.
If she hadn't done it on purpose, then it was all too much of a coincidence.
If they could think of this, how could Ye Zichen not? He'd suspected this as soon as they'd set out, but whether or not it was a trap, he was prepared to face it.
It was better to believe it than not.
What if all of this really was a coincidence? Ye Zichen had used his wealth, which even the Divine Mountains were envious of, as bait to lure the people of the Divine Mountains into sending reinforcements. He couldn't let a single aura-concealing treasure throw him into a passive position.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Ye Zichen didn't say anything else. He focused his gaze and stepped into the ancient tree. Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong were the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's Skyfiends. Their responsibility was to protect their master. Now that their master had entered, they naturally had to follow.
When everyone stepped into the ancient tree, the towering ancient tree lost its light and returned to its original appearance.
"You're too slow."
As soon as they entered, Ye Zichen and the others heard Chi Mei's pout. At the same time, Ye Zichen and the others saw the mysterious space clearly.
The world behind the door was simple. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast, endless plain.
In the center of the plain was a thatched hut. It was the only structure they could see.
"The Xiao Family is in that hut. In a bit, prepare a fire-attribute spatial ring. That's what they agreed on before we made our deal. Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong, come with me. We'll catch them off guard. "
Chi Mei was already planning out the rest of the plan, but when he heard she wanted to take Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong away, Ye Zichen couldn't help but frown.
He'd dared to follow them here because he was relying on those two.
Jiao Qi and Meng Huairong's expressions darkened. Their mission was to ensure Ye Zichen's safety. Before entering, they'd already suspected Chi Mei, but now she wanted them to leave Ye Zichen …..
"What are you doing? Hurry up! If the Gao Family shows up, we'll all be exposed."
When she saw that Ye Zichen and the others hadn't moved, Chi Mei's eyes flashed with urgency. When she noticed their expressions, she couldn't help but speak up.
"You're not suspecting me, are you? Sweetie, I absolutely wouldn't harm you!"
Chi Mei's expression was filled with grievance. If she could, she really wanted to scream her innocence. Ye Zichen looked her straight in the eye. This woman …. He really couldn't see through her.
Don't be fooled by her usual sweet and innocent demeanor, but she was more scheming than anyone he'd ever met.
Furthermore, she had an endless array of tricks up her sleeve. Ye Zichen had no choice but to be on guard against her.
"Wah! You're not really suspecting me, are you? But if you suspected me, why did you follow me in? "
"Can I trust you?"
Ye Zichen stared intently at Chi Mei, who'd cried out in grievance, and asked:
