Surprisingly, instead of showing any surprise, Ye Chen nodded calmly.
"you know?"
Zhuo Ya was stunned and couldn't believe her ears.
"You quietly released the raven when we just walked out of the wild forest, right?" Ye Chen asked again.
"You also know this?"
Zhuo Ya was even more surprised.
However, what’s more is guilt and doubt, “Since you already knew it, why didn’t you expose me, or take advantage of my unpreparedness to leave with the beast elixir of Fire Spirit?”
When she said these words, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ye Chen.
Because she does feel guilty!
After all, in order to dedicate the fiery beast elixir to her beloved, she did not hesitate to do such despicable things behind Ye Chen's back.
Now that Ye Chen has seen through it, she naturally feels ashamed.
"I have said before that as long as it is of no use to me, I will help you!"
Ye Chen shook his head and said disappointedly: "I originally thought that even if you wanted to, you would be more open and aboveboard, but I didn't expect that you actually quietly informed others!"
"I……"
Zhuo Ya felt even more ashamed.
But before she could finish speaking, Ye Chen said again: "If my guess is right, the person you secretly informed should be the person you like, Dongfang Ming, right?"
"Yes, it is!"
Zhuo Ya was aware of being seen through, so she nodded bravely, "I did pass on the news to Dongfang Ming in advance. After all, the beast pill is yours. If you don't give it to me, I won't be able to fulfill the promise I made to Dongfang Ming."
promise!"
Hearing this, the people in the surrounding Black Scale Mercenary Group were extremely surprised.
"Captain, how could you do this?"
"Master Ye has always regarded us as friends, and you actually betrayed him like this?"
"Captain, it's so selfish of you to do this!"
"We can accompany you through life and death for your lifelong mission, but doing such a despicable thing is really unacceptable to us!"
Listening to the angry and disappointed words of the subordinates around her, Zhuo Ya wanted to find a crack to slip in.
"Mr. Ye, it was me who did something sorry for you because of my temporary obsession!"
She bowed deeply to Ye Chen, and said with shame and sincerity: "You should leave quickly before we reach the place agreed with Dongfang Ming!"
"Although you disappointed me, fortunately, you confessed everything to me in advance!"
Ye Chen didn't have a hint of reproach in his tone, but nodded happily, "So, I can forgive you this time! But, it's only this time, and I won't do it next time!"
"Master Ye, I have done such a despicable thing, are you still willing to forgive me?" Zhuo Ya's guilt became even stronger.
"It is understandable that you would do such a thing in order to fulfill your promise to Dongfang Ming!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "After all, to you, I am just a passerby who met by chance. You chose to betray me to fulfill your promise to the person you love. This is human nature!"
"Sir, I..."
The more magnanimous Ye Chen behaved, the stronger the guilt Zhuo Ya felt in her heart. She was so moved that she was even speechless.
"Okay, you are the leader of the Black Scale Mercenary Group. If you cry in front of so many of your subordinates, aren't you afraid of affecting your majesty as the leader?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Zhuo Ya took a deep breath, forced down the complicated emotions in her heart, and hugged Ye Chen, "Young master is so magnanimous, from now on, I will protect this Fire Spirit Beast Pill for you!"
"No matter who wants to get this beast elixir, unless the master is willing, as long as I, Zhuoya, are here, I will never let the beast elixir fall into the hands of anyone!"
After a pause, she added decisively: "Including... Dongfang Ming!"
Ye Chen did not refuse.
Although he didn't care whether Zhuo Ya was his enemy or friend, he couldn't refuse the other party's sincere feelings.
Besides, he really wanted to go to Dongfang's house.
After all, his purpose in coming to the Southern Territory was to find the Emperor-Establishing Pill that would allow him to transition from the ninth level of the Holy Level to the Quasi-Emperor.
If he could use this Fire Spirit to exchange for an Emperor-Establishing Pill, or a method for refining the Emperor-Establishing Pill, he would naturally not give it to others easily.
"Sir, the place I agreed with Dongfang Ming is on the hill ahead!"
After walking a few miles, Zhuo Ya said to Ye Chen: "If you don't want to face the young master, you can avoid them by leaving here now or taking a detour!"
"Let's go, Dongfang family, I have to go there!" Ye Chen kept walking.
"But if Dongfang Ming invites help, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the situation!" Zhuo Ya said worriedly.
"Don't worry, as long as I don't give it to you, no one can take the fire-spirited beast elixir away from me!"
As he spoke, Ye Chen sped up.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the hill that Zoya pointed to.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Sure enough, a group of people quickly flashed out from behind the forest hill.
The leader is a tall, handsome young man.
But her lips are as thin as a line, giving people a very mean look.
"Dongfang Ming?"
Zhuo Ya's expression changed drastically, but she still stood in front of Ye Chen immediately.
"Is this Dongfang Ming, whom Zhuo Ya is so fond of?"
Ye Chen was a little shocked.
Before that, he thought the other party was an extremely handsome man.
Now it seems that being famous is not as good as meeting!
Dongfang Ming's appearance is really ordinary, there is nothing outstanding about him at all.
However, he did not define the other party in this regard.
After all, a man's charm depends not only on his appearance, but also on his personality, behavior style...etc.
If you define someone based on their appearance alone, you are judging people by their appearance.
"Zhuo Ya, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Dongfang Ming laughed heartily, then strode up to Zhuo Ya with a group of people, and said urgently: "Who is the Ye Chen you mentioned in Xin Crow? The beast elixir of Huolingxi is in his body, right?"
Zhuo Ya frowned slightly.
Subconsciously she glanced at Ye Chen next to her, but she shook her head, "No, the beast elixir of fire and spirit is in my body now!"
"Then why are you still standing there? Give it to me quickly!"
Dongfang Ming stretched out a big hand, his face full of impatience.
Zhuo Ya's face turned slightly pale, and a hint of disappointment flashed imperceptibly in her eyes.
In order to obtain a Fire Spirit Beast Pill for Dongfang Ming, she did not hesitate to lead a group of mercenaries deep into the hinterland of the wild forest, and the journey was full of dangers.
I originally thought that Dongfang Ming would be deeply moved by taking such a big risk, and would cherish him even more from now on.
Unexpectedly, the first person he met was not a greeting and concern, but an eager request for the Huolingxi Beast Pill.
No matter how infatuated she is with Dongfang Ming, she should understand that maybe she is really a little pretentious!
