She Has a Brilliant Plan
"This guest room is available. It's large enough. It should be just right for the two of you," said Lin Xihe, her gaze dubiously.
She and Zuo Mo were close friends, so it was only natural that she knew some of the inside story.
There were quite a few empty rooms in the city lord's manor, but she said this was the only one available.
She was deliberately creating an opportunity for the two of them.
"That's not a problem, is it?"
When he saw her smile, Ye Zichen knew she was doing this on purpose. However, he didn't point it out. The courtyard was indeed large enough for the two of them to live in.
Besides, deliberately avoiding arousing suspicion would only make it easier for others to overthink things.
"Since this is the only room available, we'll have no choice but to spend the night here."
"As long as you don't mind, that's good. I won't disturb you any longer."
With that, Lin Xihe turned and left. As she left, she glanced surreptitiously at Zuo Mo. However, Ye Zichen saw all of this, but he pretended not to notice.
From start to finish, Zuo Mo said nothing. Even when Lin Xihe winked at her, she didn't respond.
After a while, she furrowed her brows in annoyance.
"Why did you say that just now? There was so much gunpowder in the air. If I hadn't stopped you, I was afraid you'd start fighting. Didn't you promise me you wouldn't bicker with him? "
"Hey, don't tamper with what I said. Back in the carriage, we agreed that if his behavior wasn't particularly vile, I'd let him go. "
Ye Zichen arched his brows, cocked his head, and laughed.
"It's just that whenever I saw him, I felt annoyed. I couldn't help but provoke him. However, I only ridiculed him with my words. You don't have to take it to heart. "
"Aren't you afraid of alerting him?" Said Zuo Mo helplessly. "Just now, you were so aggressive. If you bicker with him, he'll definitely glean some inside information from your words. If he really guessed something, what if he gave up on the plan? "
"Alerting him? I already alarmed him the moment I set foot in the city lord's manor. "
Ye Zichen twitched his mouth in disdain, then sat down on a stone chair in the courtyard.
"However, if he's afraid of me and cancels the plan, wouldn't that be a good thing for you, me, and the Three Realms?"
"You're wrong to think like that." "As long as he's from the Demon Realm, then even if he doesn't want to, the Demon Realm will force him to do something. If he canceled it now, the plan would be delayed. When the time comes, we won't know anything, won't we be even more unprepared? Originally, the enemy was in the light while I was in the dark, but you forcefully turned the situation into one where the enemy is in the light while I am in the dark. I really don't understand what you're thinking. "
Although Zuo Mo had begged Ye Zichen to let Zhao Zizhao go just this once, it was clear from her words and her urgent expression that she was doing this for Ye Zichen's sake.
Ye Zichen's heart warmed, then he pursed his lips and smiled.
"No, everything about him is under my control. What I did just now was to make him suspect that I knew everything. That way, he might panic. Even if he's in a good state of mind and doesn't panic, but … "
Whoosh.
Ye Zichen waved his right hand, and ripples appeared in the air in front of them.
"This …."
Zuo Mo stared blankly at the ripples in front of her. To her astonishment, Zhao Zizhao and Zhao Ziming were standing above them.
The Great Dao of Heaven's Birth.
It was a spiritual technique Ye Zichen had acquired at the very beginning, but he hadn't used it much since arriving in the Three Realms.
This sort of cheat-like spiritual technique would destroy the game's balance if he used it all the time.
However, using it when it mattered wasn't bad either.
"How can you see the two of them? Isn't it …. With your strength, have you already reached this level?"
Despite her shock, she came to a sudden realization.
No wonder he'd been so fearless from start to finish. She'd even questioned him so urgently. Now it seemed that she'd been worrying for nothing.
She rolled her eyes at him, but she didn't know why, but in her heart, she was …. delighted.
He was strong!
She was so happy.
"Shh, don't talk. If you miss a few important details, you're done for. "
Ye Zichen smiled relaxedly. Zuo Mo nodded, knowing full well that he was right. She held her breath and focused on the ripples.
"Big Brother, you have to be careful too. Working with those demons is no different from working with a tiger."
"Don't worry, I have a plan to deal with them."
Whoosh.
The ripples dispersed.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is a critical moment. Why did it suddenly stop?"
Zuo Mo stared intently at the scene, her mind constantly calculating and analyzing the situation. However, just as they were about to reach a critical moment, the scene stopped.
She hurriedly asked Ye Zichen, "What happened?"
"I was the one who made it disperse," said Ye Zichen indifferently.
"Why did you do that? Just keep watching."
"What's there to see?" Ye Zichen pursed his lips in exasperation. "Even if we keep watching, all we'll see is those two brothers walking away with their arms around each other's shoulders and spouting obscenities. Do you want to see …..? Then I'll let you see?"
"What? We already talked about secrets," said Zuo Mo in confusion.
"My dear Family Head Zuo, even you think it's a secret. Do you really think he'll tell us?" Ye Zichen let out a long sigh. "Zhao Zizhao is extremely shrewd. He's absolutely capable of keeping secrets. When he told Zhao Ziming he had a plan, he was just giving him a hint. But there's no way he's going to tell you exactly what it is. Put yourself in his shoes and think about it. If it were you ….. Would you tell him? "
"I ….."
After a moment's hesitation, Zuo Mo shook her head.
"That's it," said Ye Zichen with a smile. "But what we've seen is already advantageous to us. I never would have guessed Zhao Zizhao's ambitions were so great. He wants to declare himself an emperor outside the Immortal Region. And that Zhao Ziming, he's not bad. He's improved a bit since arriving in the Immortal Region. He even knows how to analyze the situation. "
"Hey, can you not always have such a playful attitude? Zhao Zizhao wants to use this wedding to control everyone in the Immortal Region. Shouldn't we prepare in advance, in case ….. "
"In case what? Just let him play, "Ye Zichen twitched his mouth indifferently.
"You …. It's better to be safe than sorry. Can you not always be so fearless?"
