Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 150: Strange

Looking at the two fights, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

"What do you think?" Dongfang Jing whispered.

"You are right. They are not ordinary people." Chen Yi said.

At a glance, Shen Xu was not only a golden core realm cultivator but also a level three body refiner. Most importantly, he was a double and just nineteen years old.

It was rare to encounter such an accomplished youngster even in the Tianxuan continent.

Similarly, Zhen Yuan was an enigma.

At twenty, the young man could go head-to-head with a veteran mid-stage nascent soul realm cultivator.

Although the fight was still ongoing, Chen Yi did not doubt that Zhen Yuan would win.

"What are the odds?" He muttered.

"What do you mean?" Dongfang Jing asked in a confused voice.

"Jing, don’t you think there is something wrong with the Canglan continent?"

When he heard this, Dongfang Jing nodded with a solemn expression.

"Xiao Weimin was born with a vision and we all assumed he is the child of luck or someone with a powerful fate. However, we didn’t account for Zhu Huang, Shen Xu, and Zhen Yuan." The double said and quickly continued.

"Zhu Huang was ordinary until a few years ago. Shen Xu was talented but not enough to catch anyone’s notice. As for Zhen Yuan..." Dongfang Jing frowned and Chen Yi nodded in understanding.

After meeting Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi naturally investigated the two people’s details.

As a result, they didn’t find anything useful about Zhen Yuan.

All they discovered was that Wen Fan and Rong Ruyu adopted Zhen Yuan when the child was six years old.

However, they didn’t find out where Zhen Yuan came from or who his biological family was.

Most importantly, although it had only been a few years since Zhen Yuan left Blue Deer village, none of the villagers had a clear memory of him.

They only remembered his name, gender, age, and his adopted family.

Excluding that, they couldn’t recall his face, cultivation, or even the arts he practiced.

When he thought about these things, Chen Yi couldn’t help but frown.

"Do you know what the strangest thing is?" Chen Yi asked, looking at Dongfang Jing with a solemn face.

"What?" Dongfang Jing asked.

"We investigated Zhen Yuan and uncovered such a strange background. However, neither you nor I feel alarmed or even have the desire to dig deeper. Do you think our reaction is normal?"

When Dongfang Jing heard this, his eyes widened and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"I didn’t even notice there was something wrong with our reaction." He said and Chen Yi nodded.

"I only feel a little strange because of my high cultivation. However, I still have no desire to dig deeper into Zhen Yuan’s background."

[Is something or someone influencing our minds?] Dongfang Jing asked and couldn’t help but cautiously look around.

[I suspect but...] Chen Yi stopped mid-sentence but Dongfang Jing didn’t need to hear the rest because he already understood.

With Chen Yi’s cultivation, few could influence his mind.

Since someone had managed to do so, it meant the consequences of digging into Zhen Yuan’s background was not something they could afford.

[Is that why you agreed to Shen Xu’s deal?] Dongfang Jing asked and Chen Yi nodded. freёnovelkiss.com

When Zhen Yuan and the rest came out of the secret realm, Shen Xu immediately immediately sent a voice transmission to Chen Yi.

The transmission was a negotiation.

Accorrding to the terms, Chen Yi would help them stop other nascent soul realm cultivators and Shen Xu would solve Dongfang Jing’s problem.

[Chen Yi, we have been looking for a solution for more than one hundred years but haven’t found a way. Do you really think he knows how to help me?"] Dongfang Jing asked in a sceptical voice.

However, although his words were sceptical, his eyes were hopeful.

After all, he had been desperate for more than a century but never stopped searching for a solution.

[I think he does.] Chen Yi said in a confident voice.

[Why are you so sure?]

[Excluding us, no one else in the Canglan continent knows about your condition. Since Shen Xu can confidently talk about a solution, he must have long known what is wrong with your body.]

[If he knew...] Dongfang Jing started but soon stopped.

A moment later, he sighed and a wry smile appeared on his lips.

[He must have been waiting for the best time to play this card.] The double said and Chen Yi chuckled.

[I don’t care about the price as long as they can cure your body.]

[I know.] Dongfang Jing smiled and then changed the subject.

[Do you remember what you promised three years ago?] He asked and Chen Yi nodded.

[What do you think? Should we cooperate with them to get that opportunity?]

[We should.]

[Do you agree?] Dongfang Jing asked in a surprised voice.

After all, that opportunity was not a simple matter.

If they chose the wrong people to cooperate with, they would not only end up with nothing but may also lose their lives.

From the beginning, Dongfang Jing was convinced about Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.

However, he thought would Chen Yi would be more cautious.

After all, the two people’s backgrounds were vague and full of mystery.

[I admit we don’t know enough about them. However, I have been observing them for three years.] Chen Yi started with a solemn expression.

[They are loyal and generous to their friends. They won’t betray us unless we do something that touches their bottom line.]

[I think so too.] Dongfang Jing nodded and quickly continued.

[Since we both agree, let’s talk about it after we return to the academy.]

[Good.] Chen Yi nodded and focused on the fights.

At this time, Shen Xu had already killed the golden core that teamed up with old man Han to attack him.

Unfortunately, he was struggling with old man Han and the fight was at a state.

’He needs a way to breakthrough the old man’s defences.’ Chen Yi thought and shifted his attention to Zhen Yuan.

Like Shen Xu, Zhen Yuan was also struggling with the Xiao family’s ancestor.

However, he showed no signs of losing so Chen Yi didn’t worry.

"Who do you think will be first to defeat their enemy?" Dongfang Jing asked with a teasing smile.

"I..." Chen Yi started but stopped mid-sentence.

Instantaneously, he looked into the distance and narrowed his eyes.

’Here comes trouble.’ He thought and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

When the fights started, Chen Yi warned several nascent soul realm cultivators not to interfere.

However, his warning seemed to not have resonated.

"Who is it?" Dongfang Jing asked.

"Shi family." Chen Yi answered and Dongfang Jing sighed.

"Four Shi children didn’t come out of the secret realm. The Shi family must suspect Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan." He said.

"It’s not unexpected. After all, Shen Xu did promise to kill them in the secret them."

"What a trouble maker." Dongfang Jing muttered but his eyes revealed no blame.

"The Shi family has recruited old Pang and old Zhou." Chen Yi said.

Hearing this, Dongfang Jing sneered.

Old Pang was a late-stage nascent soul realm cultivator while old Zhou was an early-stage nascent soul realm cultivator.

Both were casual cultivators and often accepted commissions to eliminate disasters for other people.

"I didn’t expect the Shi family to think so highly of Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu. It must have cost them an arm and a leg to hire two nascent soul realm cultivators. What do you plan to do?" Dongfang Jing asked.

"Nothing for the time being." Chen Yi answered.

Based on the terms he negotiated with Shen Xu; he didn’t have to do anything unless a nascent soul realm cultivator interfered with their fights.

"Do you think old Pang and old Zhou will interfere?" Dongfang Jing asked and Chen Yi nodded.

"Regardless of whether Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan win or lose, they will be injured. Old Pang and Old Zhou may use this opportunity to deal with them."

"What will you do?"

"What will I do? Don’t you know?" Chen Yi asked and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

He originally didn’t have to kill the nascent soul realm cultivators who interfered with the two fights.

However, the Shi family, old Pang and old Zhou ignored his warning.

Considering that, Chen Yi didn’t plan to spare them.

As long as they jumped out to cause trouble, he would kill them without hesitation.

"I understand." Dongfang Jing nodded.

After that, the two fell silently and continued to watch the fights while secretly monitoring the surroundings.

At this time, Shen Xu suddenly rushed towards old man Han.

Before the old man could react, the double suddenly swung his hammer in a strange way.

Instantaneously, hammer shadows appeared in the sky and the old man was pinned in place.

"What a hammer art!" Dongfang Jing exclaimed, his voice filled with admiration.
