He didn't mention what Caesar was doing on the Capital Star. He only said that he happened to be there and witnessed the massacre.
Because there was a mole, the Xia family's defenses were quickly breached. Xia Chu detonated the explosives on her body so that she wouldn't be caught.
The internal strife of the Six Dominant Families was fierce, but they had one thing in common: they would never submit to outsiders. They would rather die than collude with others.
Caesar didn't bring Xia Chu's body out. It was Ji Die. He just happened to see it.
Before Ji Die could figure out what to do with Xia Chu's body, Shi Sheng came back. She knew that Shi Sheng wouldn't let her go, so she handed the body to Caesar.
"How can there be so many coincidences? Do you think I'll believe that?" Shi Sheng looked at Caesar with a half-smile. "You've been plotting against me since then, haven't you?"
Caesar was speechless.
He lowered his head to hide the dark glint in his eyes. When he looked up again, he smiled. "Little Sheng, how can you think of me as such a sinister person?"
"Sorry, I'm just that sinister." Shi Sheng looked indifferent. "Can you swear on your face that you didn't start plotting against me since then?"
Caesar immediately raised his hand and swore. "I swear on my face that I didn't start plotting against you since then."
He looked sincere. "Little Sheng, you have to believe me. Xia Chu was just an accident."
An accident?
You're using an accident to threaten I?
Do you think I'm retarded?
"Caesar, it seems like you've become more and more shameless after all these years." Shi Sheng sneered. "How did you manage to get the Ji family to help you?"
The Soul Condensing Array was the Ji family's array. Not many people in the Ji family knew how to use it. The Soul Condensing Array must have come from the Ji family, and it must have been done by the higher-ups.
Caesar was silent. "It was Ji Zheng."
What the … f * ck?
Ji Zheng, that was Ji Ye's father …
Shi Sheng thought for a moment. It seemed that Ji Ye had become the head of the Ji family around that time. Not long after, news of Ji Zheng's death spread.
"The price of using the Soul Condensing Array is very high. Ji Zheng and Ji Die both paid with their lives." The smirk on Caesar's face faded, and he became serious, as if showing respect for life. "At that time, I didn't think that Ji Die would be able to persuade Ji Zheng. Later, I found out that Ji Zheng owed the Xia family a big favor. Xia Chu was the only member of the Xia family, so he agreed to use the Soul Concentrating Array."
Shi Sheng quickly went through the matter in his mind.
After the Xia family was annihilated, Ji Die brought the corpses out. She met Caesar and killed her way back because of her. Ji Die knew that Caesar would not let her go, so she handed Xia Chu over to Caesar.
After that, she captured Ji Die, and Ji Die begged her to give her a month.
At that time, Blue Planet wasn't as heavily defended as it was now. She left the Shi Family here and brought the Zhan Long Guards to settle the score with the Alliance. It was easy for someone to come in.
Ji Die took the opportunity to contact Ji Zheng and used the Soul Consolidating Array to save Xia Chu …
No, perhaps she had already made an agreement with Ji Zheng when he caught her.
Did Ji Zheng have feelings for the Xia family?
Yes, Ji Zheng was like most people when he was young. He was young and frivolous. To put it bluntly, he was hot-headed and acted like a chuunibyou. He wanted to fight the Zergs alone and the result was self-evident. He almost died in the hands of the Zergs. It was the Xia family who passed by who saved him.
But something didn't make sense. If Ji Zheng really wanted to save the Xia family, why did he wait until everyone in the Xia family was dead?
Shi Sheng rubbed his brows. And Caesar, that idiot, how could he appear at such a perfect time?!
She definitely didn't trust this man.
There were too many suspicious points.
Shi Sheng looked at Caesar. "Xia Chu is still alive?"
Caesar didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Xiao Sheng, do you think that two lives can't be exchanged for one life?"
Who knew that this was an act that defied the heavens?
Ji Die might be able to understand. She regretted it because she felt guilty and couldn't bear to do it.
But what right did Ji Zheng have?
Don't talk to her about benevolence and righteousness. Ji Zheng was the head of the family. Even if he wanted to help, he wouldn't exchange his life for it.
Caesar knew what Shi Sheng was suspecting, but he couldn't say too much now. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.
Just when the two of them were silent, Patriarch Yan sent a call request.
Shi Sheng tapped his fingertip and half of Patriarch Yan's body appeared in the void.
"Mr. Caesar is also here?" Patriarch Yan seemed a little surprised. Some emotions surged in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed them and disappeared.
Caesar nodded slightly and greeted politely. "Patriarch Yan."
"Since you're all here, I'll call Patriarch Ji and Patriarch Jin as well. Patriarch Shi, do you have any objections?"
Shi Sheng glanced at the training ground. The mecha rotated 90 degrees in mid-air and slashed down fiercely. The red body of the mecha was very eye-catching.
He should be playing for a while.
Shi Sheng agreed to Patriarch Yan's request. Soon, Ji Ye and Jin Xi appeared. Obviously, they knew Caesar too.
The Zong family and the Mu family weren't here. They were excluded.
After greeting each other, Patriarch Yan, as the oldest person present, spoke first. "Patriarch Shi, let's not talk about Zero today. Let's talk about the Xia family."
Shi Sheng glanced at Caesar. Caesar was drinking his coffee with his head lowered, pretending not to have heard anything.
Shi Sheng put on a fake smile and said in an indifferent tone, "Sure."
She wanted to see what they had to say.
The three family heads looked at each other. Patriarch Yan cleared his throat, "Back then, the Alliance colluded with the Royal Family and created chaos for all the major families, causing us to be unable to fend for ourselves. They took the opportunity to besiege the Xia Family. The Xia Family eventually perished because of a traitor. Patriarch Shi, you shouldn't blame this on us, right?"
"That's right!" Jin Xi's loud voice echoed.
"When did I say that I would blame you?" Shi Sheng found it funny. "All these years, you think that I have a grudge against you. Did I say that?"
"If you don't have a grudge against us, why did you target us all these years?" Jin Xi slammed the table.
Shi Sheng's eyes drifted over. "Do I have to kneel down and lick your boots? Who do you think you are? "
"Shi Sheng, don't be so harsh with your words!" Jin Xi's temper was so bad that he couldn't hold it in. He almost rushed over from the screen to fight with Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng's expression was calm as she allowed Jin Xi to yell and shout. "Then don't listen. I'm not begging you to listen."
"Patriarch Jin." Patriarch Yan saw that the situation was not right and quickly comforted Patriarch Jin. "We're not here to quarrel today."
Jin Xi looked into Patriarch Yan's eyes and seemed to have thought of something. He hummed and sat back down angrily.
Patriarch Yan comforted Jin Xi and said earnestly, "Patriarch Shi, this is the truth. We didn't mean to leave the Xia family in the lurch."
She would never let go of this matter if she couldn't talk it out.
"Oh, I didn't target you all that much." Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows and smiled. His bright face was full of malice. "I just can't stand you all."
Jin Xi was about to throw a tantrum again but was stopped by Patriarch Yan. He could only glare at Shi Sheng.
This despicable woman!
