With him around, nothing else needs to be said. Even if Du Zundao or his Uncle Guan personally enters the Ruins, there may still be a chance for a fight. Besides, Han Lingâer believes her Uncle Guan definitely wouldnât enter the Ruins.
Because Uncle Guan isnât originally from cross training, his martial arts rely more on Gang Qi. If he were to enter the Ruins, his strength would be limited to the Wolf Smoke Realm.
He canât compare to Chen Jiusi.
Thinking this way, Liu Caidie increasingly feels that inviting Chen Jiusi to help her is a stroke of genius. It might even change the entire battlefield within the Ruins.
Little Ming King noticed that his sister and Liu Caidie were determined to leave, and after thinking it over, he clapped his hands, immediately summoning seven guards.
Little Ming King looked at Han Lingâer and said, "Sister, these seven are the cross-training experts Iâve carefully selected. Each one possesses Energy Transformation strength. Once inside the Ruins, they can lend you a hand."
Han Lingâer scanned them, seeing these seven people with robust builds, each standing over 1.8 meters, eyes sharp as lightning, and an imposing presence like rainbows. Each resembled a bodybuilding champion, clearly not ordinary people.
"Giant Wood Flag?"
Little Ming King nodded, "Yes, they used to be in the Giant Wood Flag. Later, they were transferred by the Venerable to be my guards. All of them have Energy Transformation cultivation and are willing to contribute to the Holy Sect."
"We are willing to serve the Holy Sect with all our strength."
Everyone clasped their fists toward Little Ming King and Han Lingâer, seeing this, Han Lingâer looked at the muscular men before her with satisfaction in her eyes.
Then she glanced at the ugly and lame Chen Jiusi beside them, full of disdain.
There was no helping it; compared to these impressively built muscular men, Chen Jiusi really could not compare.
However, Liu Caidie was unconcerned, looking at Han Lingâer and said, "Lingâer, it seems you didnât take a fancy to my old servant here."
Han Lingâer replied awkwardly yet politely, "No, youâve misunderstood."
These words caused Liu Caidie to grin, "You donât like him, but to be honest, I donât either. Just look at his ugly appearance and his lame leg, how can he compare to these guards?"
As soon as these words were said, the guards instinctively puffed their chests out, appearing ready to show off their muscular physiques.
And Chen Jie, in front of these strong men, was indeed pushed to the point of having nothing left.
Seeing everyone like this, Chen Jie had no reaction; he knew his own strength and didnât need anyone to confirm it.
With the plan settled, tomorrow Chen Jiusi and others, under Han Lingâerâs lead, would sneak into the Ruins to find the Qiankun Great Method hidden within.
Thus, with arrangements completed, everyone dined at Little Ming Kingâs place, awaiting the opening of the Ruins.
Liu Caidie took Chen Jie back to her residence, and as soon as they entered, Liu Caidie couldnât help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, Iâm laughing to death, Chen Jiusi, youâre really funny. You couldnât see Lingâerâs dislike just now, but the way she couldnât say it directly, itâs making my stomach hurt from laughing."
Chen Jie listened and looked at Liu Caidie, "You really do have a wicked sense of humor."
Liu Caidie replied, "Chen Jiusi, you donât know, but Iâm really happy to see Lingâer frustrated. From childhood till now, Iâve always competed with her and never matched her in anything, and yet she remains my best friend. Thereâs no helping it; this time, I wonât pass up such a good chance to see her frustrated."
Chen Jie listened and replied, "Well, you are quite pitiable."
"Haha, Chen Jiusi, Iâm really eager to see you show your true strength and shock her, itâs going to be an amusing scene."
Liu Caidie chuckled as she spoke.
Chen Jiusi said, "Alright, stop laughing. To be honest, your current situation isnât very optimistic."
Hearing these words, Liu Caidie paused and looked at Chen Jie, who continued, "Youâve already analyzed today. Now itâs clear the Ruins shows signs of opening, but Du Zundao and Mr. Guan are secretly keeping it under wraps because they donât want you to know."
"Yet youâre determined to sneak in. If you run into either Du Zundaoâs people or Mr. Guanâs people within the Ruins, it might become a fight to the death. This time, if you encounter them in the Ruins, it will truly be blades meeting blood, and they wonât care if youâre the granddaughter of Liu Futong or the daughter of the Ming King."
"At that time, anyone who dares to obstruct them from seizing the Qiankun Great Method will be their enemy, a fight-to-the-death enemy!"
After saying this, Liu Caidieâs expression turned serious, and she looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Chen Jiusi, if something happens in the Ruins, you must save Lingâer."
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Liu Caidie, "Donât you dislike Han Lingâer?"
Liu Caidie replied, "Who said I dislike Lingâer? Youâre slandering."
"Then why did you say those things just now?"
Liu Caidie replied, "Weâre best girlfriends. I want her to make a small fool of herself but never put her life in danger."
Chen Jie suddenly understood; itâs the classic âfear of friends having a hard time, yet also fearing them driving luxury carsâ scenario?
The two exchanged some words, both feeling that they were headed for danger in the Ruins while Chen Jie asked some questions about it.
Liu Caidie provided answers.
The Ruins is located within the Forbidden Land of Bright Peak, and it doesnât stay continuously open. Each time it opens takes time.
