Chapter 29: All According to Plan

When he reawoke, three days had passed .

Su Chen lifted up his head and looked at his wound . It had closed up significantly .

Su Chen carefully used the wall to prop himself up .

“Don’t move!”

Zhu Xianyao’s voice called out from behind him .

She hurried over to him . “Your wounds are quite serious . Lie back down . ”

She pushed him back down as she spoke .

Su Chen said helplessly, “My wounds have almost healed . ”

This was the truth . He had passed out because of the medicine, not because of the wounds . Even though Night Demon had stabbed him quite deeply, she had steered clear of his vitals, so Su Chen’s body quickly recovered . Su Chen actually needed to use medicine to slow down the healing process and to knock himself out .

“You don’t need to comfort me . Old Ye already took a look at you; even though that blade strike missed your vitals, the blade Qi it sent into your body is too frightening and saturated your whole body . If it weren’t for the strength of your Pig Dragon Bloodline and the fact that you seemed to have taken some kind of strange medicine, you might not have made it . ”

“But the blade Qi has all left now . Try it if you don’t believe me,” Su Chen said as he grabbed Zhu Xianyao’s hand and placed it on his chest .

He hadn’t thought about it too much when he made the move, but Zhu Xianyao’s face immediately flushed, causing him to realize that his action was a bit too rash . He immediately let go .

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianyao didn’t remove her hand . She left it on his chest, continuing to sense his heartbeat .

The two of them remained like this for some time .

After a long time, Zhu Xianyao seemed to suddenly start and removed her jade-like hand .

“Oh . ” Zhu Xianyao said in a low voice . “There…… there isn’t a problem anymore . ”

“See? I told you I was fine,” Su Chen revealed a “dense” smile .

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Xianyao should have reacted to this smile with annoyance .

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xianyao continued to stare at him in a daze and didn’t seem to mind .

Uh oh .

Su Chen felt a trace of anxiety .

He heard Zhu Xianyao say, “Tianyang, you did very well . ”

“What?” Su Chen didn’t understand .

“Do you know who the person who tried to assassinate you earlier was?”

“Who was he?”

“He was Feng Xihuo!” Zhu Xianyao said . “He’s one of the Immortal Temple’s well-known assassins and has a record of 37 successful assassinations, some of them Light Shaking Realm cultivators! Yet not only did you stop his assassination attempt, but you also killed him . That’s really something . ”

Su Chen continued to smile dumbly, but even the dumbest smile seemed incredibly handsome, suave, and charming in Zhu Xianyao’s eyes .

She stared at Su Chen and said, “You killed Feng Xihuo immediately after awakening your bloodline, which is proof of how strong you are . More importantly, however, you were incredibly brave . Even under those kinds of circumstances, you launched a counterattack . Tianyang, you aren’t a coward; you were just always concealing your true nature . Even you didn’t know how powerful you could be . ”

“Oh…… Was I…… that good?” Su Chen stared at Zhu Xianyao doubtfully .

“Yes!” Zhu Xianyao replied seriously .

“Alright then . ”

If you’re that insistent about it, I can only agree .

Oh, You Tianyang, it seems like I’ve already captured her heart for you . Take it as your reward for being captured .

With You Tianyang’s feelings for Zhu Xianyao, he might really prefer to be captured if this was the outcome .

Of course, once they switched back, he wouldn’t be able to continue to conquering Zhu Xianyao’s heart, but that wasn’t something that Su Chen needed to consider .

In any case, Su Chen had once again become the object of Zhu Xianyao’s affection .

Zhu Xianyao probably never would have even dreamed that she had unknowingly fallen for the same person twice .

The first time she fell him, she lost all her memories of that time . Now, she had fallen for him again, but she didn’t know that the person she liked was also the person who had caused her so much suffering before .

Fate oftentimes had a strange sense of humor .

Su Chen had yet to realize what would happen in the future . All he realized was that Zhu Xianyao’s attitude towards You Tianyang had changed .

“Right, you said that the person who tried to assassinate me was the Immortal Temple’s Feng Xihuo . If that’s the case, then the Immortal Temple must have initiated the assassination . So this has nothing to do with Miss Xianling then?” Su Chen purposefully asked .

“The Immortal Temple did participate in the assassination attempt, but it might not have been completely unrelated to Xianling……” Zhu Xianyao began to recount what they had found out .

After extracting the address from He Xu, Zhu Xianyao had taken her people with her and ran over .

Naturally, the address had belonged to Kong Cheng .

Kong Cheng’s existence was too much of an obstacle for Shi Mingfeng and Su Chen .

The best outcome was then to use Zhu Xianyao’s hand to kill him .

Su Chen and the others weren’t worried about Zhu Xianyao relenting because the person didn’t belong to her clan . After all, the Immortal Temple was still their bitter enemy .

More importantly, Shi Mingfeng had planted one of his own people near Kong Cheng . As soon as he saw Zhu Xianyao and the others arrive, he immediately reacted as violently as possible and attacked on sight . In the end, the whole place was thrown into chaos .

“How did it turn out?” Su Chen asked .

“Do you even need to ask? Of course we succeeded,” Zhu Xianyao replied happily . “Even though they had a Light Shaking Realm cultivator, he was of a mixed bloodline . How could he contend against my Demonic Emperor Bloodline? Zhao Jingwen, Ba Lieyuan, and I would be enough to take him on, not to mention that Culler and a bunch of our elite subordinates were there as well . ”

It appeared to be true that women would purposefully flaunt themselves in front of the man they liked .

Zhu Xianyao was strong, of course, and Zhao Jingwen and Ba Lieyuan weren’t weak either . However, Su Chen didn’t believe that the three of them were quite enough to deal with Qi Shenyuan; they had probably received quite a bit of support from the guards with them .

Kong Cheng’s greatest problem was that he didn’t have enough people with him . Zhu Xianyao’s people and the Sand Race soldiers probably numbered in the hundreds . How could just Kong Cheng and Qi Shenyuan alone handle them?

“So what happened next? “Su Chen asked .

“Next? We killed them all, of course!” Zhu Xianyao replied . When she saw Su Chen’s disbelieving expression, she stuck her tongue out and said, “Alright, maybe one or two of them got away . ”

One or two got away?

Su Chen squinted his eyes .

However, he knew that he probably wasn’t going to get a straight answer from Zhu Xianyao, so he didn’t say much else . He only asked, “How about our losses?”

“Four died . The most tragic was Yuan Gang . He came a bit late, but because he was not a part of the main force, he ran into the opponents and was killed immediately . What a pity . ”

The two of them talked for a bit longer before Zhu Xianyao left .

Su Chen got into contact with Shi Mingfeng using the communications Origin Tool before discovering that, indeed, Kong Zheng and Qi Shenyuan had gotten away .

Kong Cheng had escaped under Qi Shenyuan’s protection .

Because they didn’t know Kong Cheng’s identity, the Zhu Clan’s people weren’t too worried . Qi Shenyuan’s all-out protection had given Kong Cheng an opportunity to escape . Immediately after, Qi Shenyuan also ran away at full-speed . With his strength as a Light Shaking Realm cultivator, he might not be able to win, but running away wasn’t an issue .

“So they still got away in the end?”

“Yes . I’m worried that they’ll realize that we set them up . There will probably be some problems in the future,” Shi Mingfeng said, his voice tinged with anxiety .

He hadn’t expected the Zhu Clan to be so useless that Kong Cheng and Qi Shenyuan had both managed to get away .

“Don’t worry . Didn’t we agree to this a long time ago? I’ll bear the responsibility,” Su Chen said with a faint smile .

“I originally thought that the Zhu Clan would carry it,” Shi Mingfeng sighed .

“If they died, then the Zhu Clan would have . ”

“But they didn’t . ”

“Who knows,” Su Chen said mysteriously before cutting off the transmission .

He pulled out another transmission Origin Tool and said, “Hey . ”

“It’s me . ” Yue Longsha’s voice came out from the other end .

“How did it go?”

“All according to plan . ”
