In response to Ye Zichen's question, Ye Zichen nodded.
Xi Tu's eyes were filled with confusion and indignation.
Just from the look in his eyes … there was nothing suspicious about it.
"Ye-ge."
"What do you mean by that? Don't scare me."
Xitu's voice trembled slightly. He looked up pitifully at Ye Zichen, waiting for an answer that would reassure him.
"Are you sure you want to keep pretending?"
Ye Zichen squinted.
"Ye-ge, I don't know what you're talking about."
Xi Tu shook his head forcefully. Although it was obvious that he was trembling inside, he still gritted his teeth and refused to change his words.
"I'll give you one last chance to confess."
No matter how hard Xitu tried, Ye Zichen didn't budge in the slightest. He simply looked at him in silence, his expression indifferent.
"I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know what to confess."
Xitu shook his head.
"You're really stubborn!"
When Ye Zichen saw that Xitu still hadn't relented, he slowly raised his hand towards Xitu's head.
Almost instantly, everyone held their breaths and stared intently at the space between Ye Zichen and Xitu.
Actually, Ling Qiao 'er and the rest also felt that Xitu was a little strange recently.
He was completely different from his previous self! In the beginning, although Xitu treated Ye Zichen and Bai Yu with respect, he still maintained the arrogance of a universe-level expert.
Right now … even the word 'groveling' would be a form of praise.
He was already so lowly that he had no dignity to speak of. The only difference between him and a slave was that there was no slave chip implanted on the back of his neck.
Could it be that Xitu was doing this on purpose?
！ So what was his purpose in doing this?
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that although Ye Zichen and Bai Yu were very strong, they were rather amiable and approachable.
Even Tiger Head and the others did not bow and scrape like Xi Tu. They treated them very kindly.
Xi Tu's flattery didn't make him feel like he was being too friendly.
Xitu couldn't help but gulp when he saw Ye Zichen's hand reach towards him. He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists.
Then, he saw Ye Zichen gently pat his head.
"I know you're afraid that we'll abandon you again. Actually, there's no need for that. You can just be like before. There's no need for you to be so busy. I'll feel uncomfortable if you work so hard."
Ye Zichen chuckled.
Everyone understood when they heard this.
Only Bai Yu's eyes flashed with a profound light.
Hearing this, Xitu felt as if he had been pardoned. He slumped to the ground, panting heavily. He felt as if he had just survived a disaster.
"Ye-ge, you scared me to death!"
Xitu patted his chest, then looked at Ye Zichen and exhaled.
"Why are you afraid? Did you do something wrong?"
"How could that be?"
Xi Tu grinned. "I'm just afraid that you'll misunderstand me. This Golden Desert is too dangerous. If I'm abandoned by you guys, I might really be eliminated from this assessment area."
"Don't worry, I won't."
He patted Xitu's shoulder twice.
Then, Xitu confirmed the location of the supply boxes on the map, then the group set off once more to fight for them.
During this time …. Ye Zichen and Bai Yu followed a short distance behind them.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind just now?"
Bai Yu creased her willowy eyebrows and looked at Xitu, who was chatting and laughing with a few others, "There's definitely something wrong with him. Didn't we already confirm this a long time ago? You also said that there was something wrong with him."
"That's right."
Ye Zichen, who stood on his sword, smiled and nodded.
"You know that I'm a very kind person.
Just now, I was giving him a chance to confess. As long as he did, I wouldn't pursue the matter.
No matter what, if he confessed, I'd know the source of the danger. If he didn't, the danger would've always lurked in the shadows. "
"What a pity …. It seems he didn't treasure this precious opportunity."
With that, Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly.
How he wished that Xitu would be able to speak his mind under the pressure just now.
Yet …. Xitu had gritted his teeth and endured it.
From this, it was clear that the person who'd instigated him had given him a very high price.
A ridiculously high price! Ye Zichen had always firmly believed that Xitu wouldn't dare come back for revenge on his own. Since he'd come, that meant he'd been instigated.
That also meant …. There were people hiding in the examination area who wanted to harm him.
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Bai Yu furrowed his brows. "Right now, we're out in the open and they're in the shadows …."
Ye Zichen shrugged indifferently.
"You're quite confident," Bai Yu twitched his mouth.
However, when he thought back to Ye Zichen's performance in the second universe, he realized that he'd always been like this.
It was his confidence …. While countless families were struggling to find out what to do, he'd already obtained a life planet as a base.
"In the future."
Bai Yu continued to call out Ye Zichen's name in the second universe out of habit. "How do you think this Xitu is going to cause trouble for you? He intentionally treated the contestants like that just now, right? He wants them to become enemies with us and gang up on us?"
"Based on his performance, that's right," Ye Zichen nodded with a smile.
Ye Zichen nodded with a smile. "But I don't think it's that simple. I think that he's just trying to cover it up and divert our attention.
Besides, think about it this way. Last time, ten-odd teams came to make trouble for us. In the end …. The participants here aren't idiots. They know we're not to be trifled with. "
"Then what exactly is it?"
Bai Yu frowned.
"I'm not sure yet," Ye Zichen shrugged.
"I'm still trying to figure out what he's going to do to me, but I still haven't figured it out."
"I'll get revenge for you."
Suddenly, Bai Yu said something very strange.
"Huh?"
Ye Zichen was stunned.
"If something really does happen to you, I'll definitely avenge you and kill him!"
Bai Yu's eyes blazed with fire. Xitu couldn't help but tremble. He subconsciously glanced behind him.
"Are you cursing me?
！”
Ye Zichen shrugged helplessly. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
Before Bai Yu could react, he slapped her with a palm and pushed her back several hundred meters.
At the same time …. A sandstorm appeared around Ye Zichen. In less than half a breath's time, it swallowed him whole.
