07. The Secret Realm of the Ghost Cave
Until he met the leader of the hunter, the man who pitted him to death.
When Gui Yining reacted and realized that he had fallen into a trap, it was too late. The man not only pulled him on the [Hunter] pirate ship, but also made Gui Yining ow a large amount of debt and transformed himself into Gui Yining's biggest creditor. If Gui Yining was actually known to the creditor that he could not afford it, then he would be dead... no, there were many dead ends.
Therefore, Brother Gui is now unable to beat him, and he will not be able to escape even if he escapes. Besides, he is so powerful! He doesn't necessarily have the option of running away.
"...this is the thing. Because of my stupidity, I can only be controlled by him and do things according to his instructions. The same is true this time. Because my secret realm can hide many people, he asked me to come here to help with an ambush." Following Chi Huan, Gui Yining honestly explained his situation in full swing, and did not dare to hide it at all. "I dare to make sure that everything I said is true, and I wish to swear with my soul."
"I didn't say you were lying. I don't need you to express anything." Chi Huan was wandering around in this secret realm. The power of the ghost cave has been almost wiped out by the years. It is not that Gui Yining has been injecting a lot of precious herbs and magic into the ghost cave over the years, which has made the ghost cave slightly shine with a little glory of the past.
The inheritance of the Ghost Cave seems to be an ancient sect. Chi Huan's spiritual consciousness has not expanded too much, but it can only allow him to explore the place where he can see clearly.
He pointed to a stone tablet on the side of the road, and the stone tablet suddenly shattered into many pieces, scattered on the ground, and raised a piece of dust. Chi Huan squatted on one knee, picked up a piece of stone tablet fragment and looked at it for a while, looked at Gui Yining, who was helpless, and still resisted the questioning. This person obviously only knew what the spirit of the secret realm told him. He knew nothing about the real secret of this secret realm.
"Huh--" After taking a deep breath, Chi Huan said silently, not knowing who it was for.
"I mean you want to surrender to me?" The eyes finally fell on Gui Yining, and Chi Huan asked, "I accept you, are there any benefits for me?"
Benefits? Gui Yining was stunned. He did have the idea of turning against him, so he would say those words. Following the guy who would sooner or later he would kill him, it would be better to follow this adult who seemed more reliable.
But, he was in trouble...
Gui Yining answered Chi Huan with silence. So Chi Huan didn't plan to continue to get involved in this topic and said directly: "I want to leave here."
Sure enough, can’t I expect this adult to be a very kind person? I won’t treat it as a charity or something to save the Ninth Level of the Stories… Gui Yining gritted his teeth, made up his mind and gave up his promise: “I will not let you go until you promise me!”
He had to take a gamble! This method is absolutely risky and very easy to fail, but Gui Yining had no choice. Either he defected to Chi Huan here, or he failed the mission and continued to use it by that person and then killed it. Choose one of the two, and it is hard to have a good time no matter how you think about it, so he should fight to the end.
"What promises you?"
"...Promise, take me in and protect me?" Gui Yining was a little stunned. Because this adult looked calm... not angry? Wasn't he angry when he threatened like this?
"Oh." Chi Huan nodded: "Then I will take you on behalf of the Ronaka Empire and act as an obligation to protect you. But at the same time, you must show your loyalty to Ronaka and become a supporter of the Empire and never betray the Empire for life."
"...No." This time, Brother Gui has learned his lesson completely. "The person I want to be loyal to is you, not the Ronaca Empire."
"But the object of my loyalty is the Ronaca Empire."
"..." Brother Gui was almost crying: "You can ask, why did you stay in Ronaca for?" It's impossible because it's his own country. Or is this adult a knight of the Empire who has been brainwashed as a patriot or something?
At this point, Gui Yining had really believed Shuang Jingbai's words. Chi Huan was not the son of the chosen one, but a powerful senior expert who tried to pretend to be the son of the chosen one.
Because, in this world, no strong man is willing to condescend to the weak. He doesn't want to, and Shuang Jingbai doesn't want to. They believe that Chi Huan, who has strong strength, is also unwilling.
Maybe this is Ronaca's real master... Brother Gui is in his heart, but he was directly defeated by the honest Lord Bingxue.
"Because my fiancée is the Imperial Princess." Chi Huan said calmly. He was really just because of this reason, and he had no other intentions.
There was no sense of belonging between the disputes within Ronaca or the country's situation. The only person who could make him care about was Bai Yu.
"Ha...ah?" Taking a deep breath, Gui Yining seriously suspected that this was an excuse! It's too perfunctory! How could it be? He has been old for hundreds of years and still attaches so much importance to the love between children?
Feeling his resentful gaze, Chi Huan was completely helpless: "I don't plan to pretend to be the chosen son of God, let alone a senior. I'm not used to lying, and I don't think it's necessary."
"How old are you this year?"
"Twenty-four...No, it's twenty-five." Early March is his birthday. After Chi Huan recalled, he asked again: "How do you want me to go out?"
“…”
Another ninth-level powerful man who was impressed by Lord Bingxue and was hit by his cheating talent appeared.
In the end, Gui Yining and Chi Huan were stalemate for a moment in meaningless conversation, and found that the other party was just a stone. It would be fine if they didn't eat the soft and hard, but they were very "reckless"! The people who said they were Ronaka were really loyal to it... and they didn't let Brother Gui be loyal to him only!
What can be done about this?
Gui Yining had no choice but to stare at the secret realm with the silver-haired boy. But Chi Huan seemed to be in a hurry to go out at all, which made Gui Yining ask: "Are you so relieved? Apart from your incident, we are all... Hunters have calculated it, and they have brought absolutely many Nine-level and Nine-level Fifth-level Heavens, and they have never..."
Brother Gui stopped. Because he saw a faint smile on the corner of Chi Huan's mouth. That confident look was more credible than if he had no confidence.
"It's almost over." Chi Huan said lightly: "Apart from my incident, your arrangement is very reasonable no matter how you look at it."
Well, yes, in addition to his "changes" that will bring more changes.
