"Xu Quan."
In the front hall of the Guanyue Inn.
Looking at the staircase leading to the second floor, Xu Quan and Zhili silently exchanged glances.
Zhang San had just gone upstairs, and if there were no accidents, they would soon see Wei Changtian again.
As for what would happen after that, neither of them could predict.
Perhaps Wei Changtian would laugh it off, or perhaps he would fly into a rage.
If it were the latter, then the outcome waiting for them might not be so good.
After all, Zhili knew very well that she was not Wei Changtian's opponent, and Xu Quan was even more aware of what methods Wei Changtian possessed.
In other words, at that time, it would truly be "life and death by fate."
In fact, on the way back, Zhili had tried to persuade Xu Quan to leave with her.
But Xu Quan refused her kindness, insisting on coming back to explain things to Wei Changtian.
Zhili could understand Xu Quan's choice, so she didn't try to persuade him further, and still followed him back here.
Knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, yet heading towards the tiger mountain.
Before entering the inn, both of them felt that they had made all the preparations, especially Xu Quan, who was even prepared to pay the price of his life for his actions.
However, when the two of them really returned to the Guanyue Inn, they inevitably became nervous again.
"Xu Quan, these three Holy Fruits... take them back."
Biting her lip and hesitating for a moment, Zhili suddenly took out a small jade box from her sleeve and stuffed it into Xu Quan's arms without explanation.
Without a doubt, this jade box contained the three Holy Fruits that hadn't even had time to warm up.
Looking at Xu Quan's puzzled expression, she softly added:
"Don't misunderstand, I'm just temporarily entrusting them to you for safekeeping."
"That way, we might be able to hide it later."
"."
Slightly stunned, Xu Quan immediately understood Zhili's meaning.
He was silent for a moment, then softly asked:
"I just hope you won't let me down."
"."
"Demon King, Young Master Xu, the Young Master invites you to come up."
When Xu Quan and Zhili pushed open the door and entered the room, Yang Liushi's expression had returned to normal.
However, a hint of curiosity still flickered in her eyes, probably looking forward to seeing how Wei Changtian would deal with "Zhili."
Wei Changtian himself was calm at this time, as if he was completely unaware of what Xu Quan had just done, and just smiled and asked Zhili:
"What, have you figured it out?"
"Young Master, does This King have a choice?"
Zhili's tone was still as cold as ever, as if she was still trying her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
"You just said that if This King doesn't agree, then I won't be able to leave this Linchuan City."
"Humph! Even if This King is unwilling to agree, what can be changed?"
". So, you agree to go to Daqian Capital with me?"
Wei Changtian's gaze changed: "I wonder if my understanding is correct?"
"Yes."
Zhili answered very simply this time: "This King can take this trip, and can also listen to your commands during this period."
"It's just that after this matter is over, you must return the three Holy Fruits to This King."
"If you go back on your word again, This King will definitely fight you to the death!"
"."
Biting her jade teeth tightly, her voice barely concealing her indignation.
Zhili stared at Wei Changtian, her tone very decisive.
However, Wei Changtian was stunned for a moment.
Huh?
The plot is not right!
Shouldn't Xu Quan confess and Zhili plead?
How come it sounds like Xu Quan didn't return the Holy Fruits?
What did Xu Quan just go do?
Oh, I understand.
In just a moment, Wei Changtian immediately understood what had happened.
It wasn't that Xu Quan didn't return them, but that Zhili returned them again.
The latter wanted to help Xu Quan hide his "mistake" in this way.
Good fellow, he's already won her over?
The charm of the Son of Heaven is indeed awesome.
"No problem, as long as you take this trip with me, I will definitely return them after it's over."
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and after Wei Changtian guessed the whole story, he immediately decided to help Xu Quan again.
He first dealt with Zhili with a sentence, then suddenly turned to look at Xu Quan, and asked with a fake smile:
"Young Master Xu, what did you just go do?"
"I..."
Xu Quan's eyes showed a moment of hesitation: "I went to find the Demon King."
"Oh, you went to persuade her? No wonder you two came back together."
Wei Changtian didn't expose him, but tapped the tea table lightly with his finger.
"You should still have three Holy Fruits there."
"The Holy Fruits are so precious, it wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened."
"How about this, you hand them over to me for safekeeping, and I can directly return them to the Demon King after it's done."
"What do you think?"
"."
With almost no foreshadowing, Wei Changtian opened his mouth and demanded the remaining three Holy Fruits.
Xu Quan was stunned when he heard this and didn't answer immediately.
In his opinion, if he handed over the Holy Fruits, Wei Changtian would definitely not return them to Zhili.
It might even be that the latter had already begun to suspect something.
So, if he didn't hand them over, it would undoubtedly be going against Wei Changtian, and his situation would become very dangerous.
But if he handed them over...
Turning his head to secretly glance at Zhili, Xu Quan originally thought that the latter would stop him.
But he never expected that Zhili would just nod slightly with a blank expression, actually hinting at him to hand over the Holy Fruits.
It could be seen that Zhili was very unwilling at this time.
But this nod undoubtedly showed that she was even more unwilling for him to anger Wei Changtian because of this.
"Young Master..."
Taking a deep breath, turning his head to look at Wei Changtian again, Xu Quan already had a decision in his heart.
"Let me keep these Holy Fruits."
"Oh?"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes: "Why?"
"Because..."
Xu Quan certainly wouldn't say "Because I think you won't keep your promise", but he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he couldn't help but pause.
And Wei Changtian didn't wait for him to make up an excuse, and directly interrupted with a sneer:
"I see it's because you've already hooked up with Zhili!"
"Young Master, I..."
"Enough nonsense!"
Slamming the table with a "bang", the next second Wei Changtian pointed out several fingers in the void without warning, instantly sealing Xu Quan's acupoints in Zhili's astonished gaze.
"Plop!"
How could Xu Quan be able to resist Wei Changtian, who was several major realms higher than him? Before he could say half a word, his body fell weakly to the ground.
"Humph! Zhang San!"
Regardless of what Yang Liushi and Zhili's reactions were at this time, Wei Changtian snorted coldly with a gloomy face, and then ordered Zhang San, who pushed the door in:
"Search him! Then find a place to lock him up!"
"Dare to betray me?"
"Then I'll let him know what the consequences will be!"
