Seeing Zheng Li lowering her head and admitting that she was also responsible for Cao Wenxian's death, Xue Chen was not surprised. He felt ridiculous and sad at the same time.
Cao Wenxian pushed her out as a bait in order to escape for his own life. It was an extremely shameless act. The only fault would be Cao Wenxian who was already dead. How could it be her? This is really ridiculous, but this is the reality, just because Cao Wenxian's brother Cao Wutong is
A Danhua realm, the situation is pressing.
But Xue Chen would not choose to compromise. Unlike Zheng Li, who was taken out of the orphanage since she was a child and was trained step by step by the country to become a practitioner, she naturally has a fear of the superiors in the Yanhuang Department.
His arrival can be regarded as an exchange. There are any tasks he can do, and then he collects enough merits to exchange for what he needs. That's it, nothing else. If it really makes him unhappy, the big deal is to slap him on the butt.
Just leave.
What if Cao Wutong really wants him to take responsibility for Cao Wenxian's death, or even pay for his life? If you want to avoid it, you can still do it. If you can't afford to offend him, you can still hide. Wait until you have the capital to confront him and then get it back.
That’s it.
As for Cao Wenxian's death, he felt no guilt or guilt in his heart and was upright, otherwise he would not have asked Questioning Heart Stone to determine the blame.
"Heart-Questioning Stone..." Zhao Hua hesitated, "You are right. There is indeed such a spiritual weapon in the Yanhuang Department. It can be used to torture a person's heart. Even people below the soul-sacrifice level cannot hide it in front of it.
The true situation in the heart can then be used to judge whether a person is right or wrong, the cause and effect of a matter."
Xue Chen still trusts Mao Jinshan. Since he implicitly proposed the spiritual weapon of the Heart-Questing Stone, it must be beneficial to him.
"That's very good, then use the Questioning Heart Stone to torture my heart. If the Questioning Heart Stone thinks that I am at fault, then I believe that I will bear all the consequences. But if the Questioning Heart Stone judges that I am not at fault, then I also hope
Don’t blame people unreasonably, what do you think?”
Xue Chen's eyes were calm, and even when facing the two Dan Hua realms, he did not show any hesitation.
"I think Ms. Zheng Li will not refuse."
Zheng Li on the side did not have the courage to talk like Xue Chen, but she listened carefully to everything she said. After all, it was very important at this time. When she just admitted that she was responsible for Cao Wenxian's death, she felt extremely bitter in her heart.
After hearing Xue Chen's proposal, there was almost no hesitation and he nodded repeatedly to express his willingness.
She believed that as long as the Questioning Stone was really that magical, it would definitely make everyone realize that she was not responsible for Cao Wenxian's death. This seemed to be the only way to avoid facing Cao Wutong's pressure directly.
"However, the Heart-Questing Stone is a very important spiritual weapon within the department and should not be used except for major events." Zhao Hua hesitated and did not agree immediately.
"Isn't the death of a person not a big deal?" What's more, the person who died was a younger brother of Danhua Realm. Xue Chen looked at Cao Wutong and Li Lianqing, "Team Leader Li, Team Leader Cao, what do you think?"
The one who responded was Li Lianqing. He just said one word: "Okay."
Cao Wutong did not object and obviously acquiesced.
Xue Chen stood up, nodded and turned to leave. Zheng Li also hurriedly followed.
"Team Leader Li, Team Leader Cao, I'm going to report to the superiors about the use of the Questioning Heart Stone." Zhao Hua also got up and went out.
When only the last two people were left in the conference room, Li Lianqing said in a deep voice: "Wu Tong, my condolences."
Cao Wutong's face was neither happy nor sad, and he suddenly asked: "Who is this Xue Chen?"
"He? It's the one who brought him. He seems to be very promising." Li Lianqing didn't say his name. Of course, it goes without saying that Cao Wutong could also understand who that person was. He also hoped that Cao Wutong would not lose his mind because of his brother's death.
, make inappropriate actions.
"Wen Xian's qualifications for cultivation are better than mine. It was just by chance that year that our brothers got an opportunity by chance. He gave it to me. Otherwise, he would have achieved the Dan Hua realm." Cao Wutong closed his eyes and said,
His eyelids were trembling slightly.
"Thanks."
After leaving the conference room, Zheng Li caught up with Xue Chen. Her attitude seemed to have changed from the past, and she sincerely expressed her gratitude.
When they first met, Zheng Li was not as domineering as Cao Wenxian, but she didn't care too much. If it weren't for the fact that she had an extra thought in her heart and didn't know Xue Chen's background, she just ignored him.
Later, when Cao Wenxian died and his body was put into a bag, and Xue Chen was still alive and well on the return plane, Zheng Li deeply realized that this young man was extraordinary.
The scene in the conference room just now made her dare not look down on Xue Chen anymore, and she was filled with admiration. She had the courage to talk and argue with reason in front of Cao Wenxian's brother, who was in the Danhua realm.
Not giving in was something she didn't dare to think about.
"Thank me for what?" Xue Chen turned around and looked at Zheng Li.
Zheng Li sighed and said with some difficulty, if it weren't for you, she would definitely not have the courage to face Cao Wutong. She knew she was not guilty, but she could only pinch her nose and accept her fate.
Xue Chen said nonchalantly that if it was just like this, it would be completely unnecessary and he was just doing it for himself.
"Mr. Xue, if this matter is resolved smoothly, you will still stay in the Yanhuang Department." Zheng Li also had a rough idea of Xue Chen's situation. He had just come from outside recently, and it didn't look like he was there.
It looks like it is completely dependent on the department.
"Naturally." He has just completed a task. Even if the nine hundred merit points are divided between two people, it is only four hundred and fifty, which is still too little. And there are too many things on the list that make him jealous. If this thing goes well
Once he understands it, he will accumulate a sum of merit more quickly in exchange for what he needs.
After looking at the hesitant look on his face, he casually asked if there was anything else?
"I..." Zheng Li's eyes flickered, "If I say that I am willing to follow you, will you agree?"
Xue Chen was stunned for a moment because he didn't understand what the so-called following meant. It sounded weird.
After seeing Xue Chen's confusion, Zheng Li hurriedly explained, saying that the Yanhuang department was divided into twelve zodiac groups. Since where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and interest groups will appear.
"Usually, several people or a dozen people or even more reach a consensus in private, with one of them as the leader. The leader is usually very strong, and most of them are half-step Danhua. When they accept some tasks
Finally, when the people in the group have completed their tasks, a certain amount of merit will be distributed to the leader, usually 30%."
"Why?" Xue Chen didn't understand why he had to find one person to be the leader and share the merits he received.
Zheng Li also gave an explanation. Because the leader is the strongest and usually contributes the most when performing tasks, sometimes he doesn't need to do anything. He can just stand aside and watch, so he willingly gave away 30%.
Take seventy percent.
"Is there such a thing?" Xue Chen understood it, so it would make sense to share 30% of the merit. After all, the leader contributed the most.
"So, you want me to be your leader and take you on missions in the future? But I am not even half a step above Danhua. I am even at a lower level than you."
Zheng Li expressed her inner thoughts: "Cao Wenxian is dead and you are still alive. This is enough. I can see that you are not an ordinary practitioner."
She also said that she had experienced several dangerous missions in the past, but she was lucky enough to get through them. She did not want to share the merits with others, so she never thought of following others, but this time, she was really scared.
At that time, she was so close to the caracal demon and one step away from death.
"I would rather get less merit, I just hope to be safe and alive, which is more important than anything else." Zheng Li murmured to herself.
In addition to getting 30% of her merits, Zheng Li also mentioned other benefits of having someone follow her.
"The amount of tasks within the department is very large. It is said that there are dozens or hundreds of tasks every day, but the number of practitioners in the twelve groups is also very large, so one person can only do one task per week..."
"What? Only one every week?" Xue Chen frowned. This was not good news for him. Originally, he planned to handle more tasks in the shortest time to accumulate merits after understanding the current trouble.
Yes, but a person only has one mission a week. If he wants to accumulate thousands of merits, he doesn’t know how long it will take. That would be too long.
"That's why some half-step Danhuas have a lot of followers, because they can get merit faster by helping followers complete tasks. It's not impossible to do four or five tasks a week, and you can get a hundred for each task.
Thirty percent of the merit is equivalent to completing two or three more tasks."
Xue Chen also knew nothing about the tasks of the Yanhuang Department, so he simply asked Zheng Li how to receive the task and how there could be a task that was carried out by several people.
Zheng Li also tried her best to explain everything she knew.
After hearing this, Xue Chen had a new understanding of the tasks assigned within the Yanhuang Department, and also realized that following someone could indeed bring considerable benefits. Of course, the premise is that he is strong enough to help his followers complete the tasks.
Just the task.
"Since you are willing, fine, I can promise you to follow. We will discuss the details after we understand this matter."
Seeing Xue Chen turn and walk away, Zheng Li stood there, feeling a little confused. She didn't know whether her decision was right or wrong. She actually chose someone with a lower level than herself to follow.
On the second day, Xue Chen had just fed the caracal's little milk cat. Someone brought news that the Heart-Questing Stone was ready and invited him to come over. (To be continued)
