Chapter 318 Who is the real her?
After Ji Chan was assassinated, the Astrology Palace experienced a wave of turmoil. After all, Ji Chan was a contemporary prophet and the totem of the Astrology Palace.
Her departure made all the fortune tellers anxious, as if they were travelers lost in the dark, unable to see the direction clearly.
After Leng Li's comeback, he quickly stabilized the situation with mature and experienced skills, and took the opportunity to conduct an internal cleansing of the Astrology Palace, eliminating all unstable factors.
Many people thought that Leng Li was clearing out the direct forces left behind after Ji Chan's death. After all, even Ji Chan's chief maid had disappeared, and there were rumors that she had been driven out of the Astrology Palace.
Only those who are in the know know that Leng Li is doing the dirty work for Ji Chan and has to bear the blame, which is really not easy.
If Ji Chan knew about this in the afterlife, he would kowtow to Leng Li to express his gratitude.
At this moment, Ji Chan was indeed kneeling in front of Leng Li, but he was not expressing his gratitude to Leng Li, but begging.
"No!"
Ji Chan tightly grasped Leng Li's clothes, almost hanging on her body: "This is the collector's edition that I spent all my savings to buy, please give it back to me!"
Her voice was shrill and painful, like a mother whose child was about to be taken away from her.
Those who hear it will be sad and those who listen will cry!
Leng Li held up a game console in one hand and made a gesture as if to smash it to the ground.
Hearing Ji Chan's cries and pleas, Leng Li did not soften his heart, but instead his eyes were filled with anger: "Look at what you have become now? All day long you either eat or sleep, play games or play with your phone. You are a prophet, you are not a pig."
"But I'm retired now, or even deceased."
Ji Chan argued back, "You can't use the requirements of going to work to embarrass a retired person. I've worked for the Astrology Palace for most of my life. What's wrong with enjoying myself after retirement?"
When she was a prophet, countless eyes were watching her every move. She needed to maintain her image, so she couldn't do anything and couldn't have any hobbies.
Now that I'm finally retired, I'm thinking of developing some personal hobbies, but even these small requests are not allowed.
I have to maintain my image when I'm working, and I have to maintain my image after retirement, so wouldn't that mean my retirement is in vain?
"I have no objection to you enjoying yourself, but you must set a good example for the younger generation."
Leng Li raised his hand and pointed at Yan Qiuli who was standing beside him: "She is not yet an adult. Seeing how you are now, what if she learns bad things in the future?"
Yan Qiuli stood aside and nodded repeatedly.
Ji Chan looked at her, anger gushing out from her eyes, and angrily said, "You damn girl, did you report me?"
She bought the game console secretly and was accidentally seen by Yan Qiuli. Not long after, Leng Li came to her house aggressively.
"I was wrong, sister, I thought you bought a learning machine."
Yan Qiuli hid behind Leng Li and defended herself in a timid tone, while sticking out her tongue and making a face at Ji Chan.
What a stingy guy! He won’t even let me play with him.
Then don't blame me for using the ultimate method - telling tales.
Ji Chan was so angry that she wanted to rush over and grab Yan Qiuli, but was kicked down by Leng Li.
"Humph, I'm confiscating your game console. I'll return it to you when you truly repent."
Leng Li issued the final judgment, then took Yan Qiuli's hand and turned away: "Qiuli, when you become a prophet in the future, you must not learn from her. She is already a waste."
"I understand, master."
Ji Chan got up from the ground and shouted at the master and apprentice from behind: "I am a prophet, I have shed blood and made contributions to the Astrology Palace, you can't do this to me!!"
No matter how Ji Chan shouted, Leng Li and Yan Qiuli ignored her.
Ji Chan stared blankly at the gate, then suddenly lay down on his back and began to roll on the ground.
"Ahhhh what's the point of a retirement life like this?!!"
If a fortune teller from the Palace of Astrology appeared here, he would be stunned. The great prophet was rolling on the ground like a child, shouting meaningless words.
"After not seeing you for so many years, your temper is still like that of a child."
A teasing female voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Leng Li is the child. She is obviously jealous that I can enjoy myself!"
Ji Chan was also tired of making a fuss, so she sat up from the ground and looked at the masked woman who walked in from the door: "I thought you were going to continue to hide your identity and didn't dare to come to see me."
The person who walked in from outside was Tian Xuanxing. Judging from her communication with Ji Chan, the two were old acquaintances.
"First, I didn't hide my identity, I just didn't publicize it."
Tian Xuanxing sat down on the chair in front of Ji Chan: "Second, I'm here to see you now, I dare not just speculate on your part."
Ji Chan raised his finger and pointed at the mask on her face: "You don't even want to take off the mask, are you afraid to see people?"
"got used to."
Tianxuanxing took off the mask on his face.
Ji Chan carefully looked at Tian Xuanxing's familiar face that she hadn't seen for many years, and then expressed the same feeling when they first met a long time ago: "Who would have thought that Tian Xuanxing from the Stargazing Club would be such a young beauty."
"You too."
Tianxuanxing replied: "The entire Eternal Empire did not expect that the great prophet would be Tianjixing from the Stargazing Club."
The seven leaders of the Stargazing Club all use seven legendary stars as code names, whether it is Tianji Star or Tianxuan Star.
The Stargazing Club was also banned in the Eternal Empire. The three Blood Kings all adopted high-pressure tactics against this stargazing organization. Any member of the Stargazing Club would be executed immediately if exposed.
Therefore, once the fact that Ji Chan is one of the seven leaders of the Stargazing Club is exposed, it will definitely be more explosive news than the assassination of the prophet.
"Okay, okay, stop flattering each other. I'm getting goosebumps."
Ji Chan rubbed his arms exaggeratedly, then asked Tian Xuanxing: "Why did you sneak over to see me? Are you planning to return what you owed me?"
Back then, Tianxuanxing borrowed a drop of eternal blood from her for the purpose of research, and there has been no news after so many years.
If Ji Chan hadn't seen Tianxuanxing again, he would have almost completely forgotten about this matter.
"There was a small accident that year, and the Eternal Blood you gave me was lost. I am not here today because of this."
Tian Xuanxing naturally changed the subject: "What is your purpose in guiding Shen Cheng to Yongle City?"
Ji Chan blinked and did not answer Tian Xuanxing's question. Instead, he asked, "I'm very curious, what is your relationship with Shen Cheng? You actually gave up everything and followed him all the way from the Federation to the Eternal Empire."
When Shen Cheng and his group appeared in the Astrology Palace, Ji Chan discovered that Tianxuanxing was actually around him. This surprise was exactly the same as when she had predicted the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor.
She knew too well what kind of person Tianxuanxing was. The Stargazing Club had been targeted by the whole world, but it had not been extinct over the years. Successive leaders had made great contributions to it.
Every leader is a genius among geniuses, such as Ji Chan, who is the youngest prophet in the history of the Eternal Empire.
Tianxuanxing was the best among the seven leaders, and her degree of perversion far exceeded that of the other six. If she hadn't gotten herself into trouble while doing the experiment, the Stargazing Club would probably have reached an unexpected level under her leadership.
Therefore, Ji Chan did not believe that the Human Federation could drive Tianxuanxing away. She must have left the Federation because she wanted to.
And the reason must be Shen Cheng.
"He and I are in a relationship of researcher and researched."
Facing his old friend Ji Chan, Tian Xuanxing told the truth: "He is my most important research project. I must keep an eye on him all the time, so I followed him to your place."
Ji Chan said, "You are worried that he will be in danger in Yongle City, right? Don't worry, since I dare to let him go, there will definitely be no danger. He is just as important to me."
"We are old friends, so don't use this kind of rhetoric to fool me. You know I am not worried about his safety."
Tian Xuanxing said calmly: "What I'm asking is, what are you using him for?"
"Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"
Ji Chan still did not answer Tian Xuanxing's question. Instead, he shook his head and said, "If Shen Cheng was just your experimental subject, you wouldn't care about him so much. What is your relationship?"
Tian Xuanxing and Ji Chan looked at each other with curious eyes for a while, knowing that it would not be easy to get this cunning guy to answer questions.
"It's not her who cares about him, it's me who cares about him."
Tianxuanxing didn't say anything when a second voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Ji Chan looked up and saw Bai Qiuning walking in from the door.
She looked at Bai Qiuning, then at Tianxuanxing, and asked in confusion: "Aren't you the same person? What are you doing?"
Tianxuanxing didn't say anything, so Bai Qiuning answered, "I did an experiment where I cut a single-celled organism in half, and it ended up being two separate individuals."
Ji Chan looked at her in shock: "No way, have you driven yourself into schizophrenia?"
She knew that Tianxuanxing had used her as an experiment in the past, creating many different slices of her, which resulted in her lack of emotions and turning her into an emotionless person, unable to lead the Stargazing Club anymore.
I thought she had cured this problem after so many years, but I didn't expect that she is now suffering from schizophrenia.
"Correction, schizophrenia is the same individual producing different minds, and I am the same individual, split into different minds."
Tian Xuanxing had to correct Ji Chan's misunderstanding: "This is also the original purpose of my experiment, to cut out a brand new me and provide a brand new idea..."
"Okay, okay, don't tell me this. It makes me dizzy."
Ji Chan interrupted Tian Xuanxing, turned to look at Bai Qiuning and asked, "Then why do you care so much about Shen Cheng?"
"Because I like him."
Bai Qiu Ning said in a calm tone something that left Ji Chan dumbfounded.
In fact, Bai Qiuning couldn't tell whether she liked Shen Cheng's strong possessiveness or not, but she was willing to say so to outsiders.
Ji Chan was completely shocked by Bai Qiuning's words, and even her tone became stammering: "Did I hear wrongly?"
She couldn't imagine that Bai Qiu Ning, such an inhuman woman, would actually fall in love with another man one day.
It was like the sun rising from the west, then turning into a basketball and being hit on the spot by a man in overalls.
"I have found the feelings I was missing. As a woman, it is normal to like a man."
Bai Qiuning frowned slightly: "Answer my question, what do you want to do with Shen Cheng?"
In my heart, you are more than just a woman, you are simply the goddess Jin.
Ji Chan complained in her heart. Facing the aggressive looks of Tian Xuanxing and Bai Qiuning, she knew she could no longer hide it: "I didn't use him. I was just entrusted by someone to let him go to Yongle City to meet someone."
Bai Qiuning pressed on: "Who asked you to do this? Who are you going to meet? A man or a woman?"
With every question she asked, she moved closer, and Ji Chan retreated a little, until she was almost pinned to the ground.
"Would you like me to give you a mirror so you can look at your expression now?"
Ji Chan said half jokingly and half seriously: "Your expression right now is just like that of a woman who is resentful of her husband who is away on a business trip."
Bai Qiu Ning picked her up from the ground and said coldly, "Answer my question."
"Okay, okay, you are just deliberately bullying me because I have no strength."
Ji Chan climbed onto the sofa and sat down before answering, "Du Tianming asked me to do this. The person he went to Yongle City to meet was also Du Tianming. You don't think Du Tianming is going to hurt him, do you?"
Tianxuanxing asked: "Have you cooperated with Du Tianming?"
"It's not a collaboration, we just take what we need."
Ji Chan leaned his hands on the back of the sofa, crossed his legs, and said in a very heroic manner: "Everything we do is just to welcome her return."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Chan felt a pair of jade arms reaching out from behind and gently hugging her.
The back of his head was also trapped in a pair of gentle and elastic peaks.
She subconsciously looked up and back and saw the third Tianxuan star.
The third Tianxuanxing was wearing a cheongsam. She was not as inhumane as the first Tianxuanxing, nor as cold as Bai Qiuning. Instead, she had a gentle smile on her face.
She held Ji Chan's head in her arms and smiled gently, "Tell me, who is she that you are talking about?"
Ji Chan didn't answer, but screamed: "Hey, hey, hey, how many pieces did you cut yourself into?"
Among these three Tianxuan stars, the last one who looks the most approachable is actually the most dangerous in her heart. The gentle smile on his face is like a fox.
Tianxuanxing replied: "Just the three of us."
"I don't believe you, at least thirty! No, according to your habit, at least three hundred!"
Ji Chan screamed, and then Tian Xuanxing behind her pinched her face with both hands.
"After so many years, you are still so fond of changing the subject, little cutie."
Tian Xuanxing, who was wearing a cheongsam, asked with a smile: "Answer my sister's question, who is she?"
Ji Chan felt like a chicken caught by a fox, with no power to resist at all: "It's the person you guessed now."
Bai Qiuning frowned and said, "Isn't he a man?"
Ji Chan spread her hands and said innocently, "I never said she was a man before. You misunderstood. It's none of my business."
The three Tianxuan stars looked at each other subconsciously. Since she is not a man, then who is the real her?
There is only one chapter today. When I woke up in the morning, my throat was swollen and my body was hot and sore. It must be the new coronavirus again, because someone in my family had symptoms yesterday, and today it's my turn.
Now I have to come here every year, it's annoying o(╥﹏╥)o
