Chapter 312: The Friend of a Best Friend
Seeing Zhang Chi's confident appearance, Jin Ling'er's eyes were filled with anticipation.
If it were before the competition with Zhang Chi, she would have definitely looked down on him.
A mere Foundation Building Stage cultivator, and he dares to get involved in this matter?
But with the previous events, Jin Ling'er's favorable impression of Zhang Chi has increased significantly, and she will no longer underestimate him because of his cultivation level.
"How do you plan to help me?"
"The two problems you mentioned, I happen to have solutions for both."
"Oh?"
Jin Ling'er looked at Zhang Chi somewhat unexpectedly, while Jin Bian shook his head, thinking that this young master was good in all aspects except for his youthful nature, but he didn't consider the consequences of his actions.
Jin Ling'er is the Saintess of the White Tiger Sect. If you can do something that she can't, wouldn't it make her look incompetent?
On the other hand, if Zhang Chi is just boasting and can't actually deliver, it will also make Jin Ling'er disgusted.
In Jin Bian's opinion, it would be best for Zhang Chi to stay out of it.
With two Dao Integration experts from the White Tiger Sect watching, there's no need for a mere Foundation Building cultivator like you to worry about anything!
Jin Bian also didn't know that Zhang Chi's courage was even greater than he had imagined.
He was considering the possibility of offending Jin Ling'er, but Zhang Chi was aiming to plant seeds in Jin Ling'er's heart.
Girls admire strength, not only in terms of combat power, but also in other aspects.
Zhang Chi's strength lies in his intelligence.
"Let's start with the first problem. We don't know who the killer will target next, but we can guide the killer to attack the decoy we choose.
The killer doesn't kill indiscriminately; their targets have obvious characteristics.
The first victim, Liu Xin, was driven out of the group and was angry. The second victim, who had just made a breakthrough in cultivation and had a stable position, was definitely happy. The third victim, who died in front of their lord, was sad.
These characteristics correspond perfectly to their expressions at the time of their deaths. So, if we know who the killer will target next, we will also know who it will be."
"That makes sense!"
Jin Ling'er looked at Zhang Chi admiringly. She had also noticed that the expressions of the victims were somewhat strange, but she thought it was because they died at the hands of the Demon Race.
Zhang Chi's analysis presented her with another perspective.
It wasn't that the victims had those strange expressions because they were attacked by the Demon Race, but rather because they had those emotions, they were attacked by the Demon Race.
This meant that they could deliberately release corresponding emotions as bait.
And from last night's events, it can be seen that the killer prioritizes targeting those with higher cultivation levels. After failing to target Miao Yin, the killer went to find a new victim.
In this case, Jin Ling'er can arrange for someone with a higher cultivation level to act as bait.
Jin Ling'er is also a smart person. With a little guidance from Zhang Chi, she understood.
"What about the second plan?"
"For that, we'll have to rely on Princess Cai Yu."
When Zhang Chi was showing off, he didn't forget to bring Cai Yu along.
He also knew a bit about Cai Yu's background. Among the descendants of the Phoenix Clan, she was not valued and was forced to wander outside.
But to be honest, Zhang Chi felt that Cai Yu's clairvoyance and clairaudience abilities were much stronger than her so-called ice and fire combat abilities.
She was simply a perfect support, and she was also good at fooling people.
At a time like this, Zhang Chi naturally wanted to help Cai Yu gain some presence.
"Cai Yu?"
Jin Ling'er didn't have much of an impression of Cai Yu because this little bird knew who to provoke and who not to provoke, despite being a little mouthy.
So when Jin Ling'er appeared, Cai Yu obediently hid away.
This loli was not to be messed with.
In Cai Yu's perspective, Jin Ling'er was covered in knives, ready to fly out at any moment. How could she not be scared?
Recently, Cai Yu had been playing with birds and beasts in the mountains and hadn't had much contact with Jin Ling'er. Jin Ling'er naturally didn't know how powerful Zhang Chi's bird was.
"Cai Yu is a descendant of the phoenix, possessing clairvoyance, acute hearing, and the ability to control birds.
The killer can block telepathic investigations, but cannot obstruct their line of sight. With Cai Yu present, no matter where they strike in the city, we will be able to see it."
"According to what you're saying, the problem is indeed easily solved."
Jin Ling'er looked at Zhang Chi with a gaze that held a hint of admiration.
"Now that the problem is resolved, Ling'er should go back and rest."
"Mm."
Jin Ling'er's response was cold, but her heart felt warm.
As someone of her status, many people revered her, but few were considerate or protective of her because she was already strong and seemed to not need such things.
Long Yan watched the simple interaction between Zhang Chi and Jin Ling'er, not thinking much about it, but feeling happy instead.
If Zhang Chi could establish a good relationship with Jin Ling'er, then Jin Ling'er would become their mutual friend.
Now that Jin Ling'er had a plan, she returned to White Tiger Pavilion to make arrangements and take a nap.
Zhang Chi and the other two returned to their residence.
There shouldn't be any danger during the day, so Jin Bian didn't continue to interfere and left on his own after returning home.
Zhang Chi seized the opportunity and naturally stuck close to Long Yan.
"Sister, are you still mad at me?"
"How could I dare to be!"
Long Yan said in a strange tone, while moving a couple of steps to the side.
Zhang Chi moved closer again, and Long Yan moved away once more.
Zhang Chi approached for the third time and directly hugged Long Yan from behind.
"Don't go."
Long Yan: "..."
Being hugged by Zhang Chi, her strength seemed to disappear, and she couldn't struggle free no matter how hard she tried.
"Let go of me!"
"I won't let go. If I do, what will you do if you run away?"
Zhang Chi acted shamelessly, secretly finding it amusing.
Long Yan was too easy to deal with; she became weak as soon as he hugged her.
If she wanted to struggle, Zhang Chi wouldn't be able to hold her down.
"Let go of me. I won't run away. It's indecent to be seen like this."
They weren't in the same room, but outdoors.
The scenery here was pleasant, surrounded by green mountains, with clear weather. Zhang Chi smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Long Yan's body and regretted it deeply.
Damn Demon Race, their timing was too perfect.
He had just been about to make a breakthrough, but the meat was snatched away from his mouth.
Now, he regretted hugging Long Yan from behind.
He couldn't let Long Yan take the initiative for a second time.
So, he had to take the initiative himself. After all, their wedding was approaching.
"We have already recognized each other as Dao companions. We only lack a ceremony. Are you afraid of others seeing?"
Zhang Chi got close to Long Yan, intentionally blowing on her earlobe when exhaling, causing her to tremble all over. She couldn't focus on being angry with Zhang Chi and could only shyly beg for mercy, saying, "Don't do this, not outside."
"Does that mean it's okay in the room?"
Zhang Chi teased while embracing Long Yan's waist.
A mere Long Yan was too easy to deal with.
Just a simple physical contact made her give up resistance.
Long Yan didn't respond to Zhang Chi's insinuation. Zhang Chi lifted her up horizontally and ambiguously said, "Sister Long, let's go back to the room and continue what we didn't finish yesterday, shall we?"
