Chapter 48, Overheard (aborted)
Because the White King must be reborn as Eri, otherwise the White King's Dragon Bone Cross will be missing! Those Dragon Kings will not agree.

Without Herzog, there is still Herzog Right, Herzog Upper and Herzog Lower.

Even if Zhuo becomes the Prime Minister of Neon and controls all of Neon’s military power, it will be useless. This is simply not something a human can do!

When Zhuo reads fan fiction, he also feels that the situation in Japan is easy to resolve, just kill them all!
But the reality is heavy. The protagonists are nothing without their systems! They can't do anything! In the end, they still rely on a bigger plug-in than Lu Mingfei!

What about throwing away the plug-in?
Can you still do those things?
Zhuo didn't know whether his cheats could defeat the Dragon King, so he wisely didn't try to show off.

Ants should not think about strangling the elephant, just do what they can.

Sakura is different. She doesn't have much to do with this chessboard. As long as the person she knows is not Yuan Zhisheng, even if it is a gangster scum, she can live well.

As long as Sakura has nothing to do with Gen Chisei, the Dragon Kings won't care whether she stays or goes.

Even if Ying left with the tea dregs on the street, he wouldn't care. She's just a small person.

In fact, Zhuo felt that Yuan Zhisheng was not much different from scum... He was fickle, confused right and wrong, betrayed his friends and relatives, but the key point was that he betrayed, and no one could say anything if he was ruthless. Prime Minister Cao slaughtered so many cities, wasn't he also a hero?

But this guy is so indecisive while betraying others.

Once the dragon blood is drawn out of his veins, it's nothing!

Fengjian Liuli can still compete with Wang Jiang in wits and courage... although the ending is always tragic.

In short, in Zhuo's view, following the source of being petty-minded but without any sense of justice will only bring harm and no benefit.

What was clear now was that he probably had the ability to save her, so why not do it?
to be honest,

Zhuo couldn't deny that he did have some selfish thoughts, not much, just a little... For example, Ying might fall in love with him or something like that, and he was no exception to those thoughts of men.

And Sakura is still so perfect, it's hard for anyone not to have thoughts.

Public-private integration,

And now we have the scene.

Zhuo didn't know what Ling was thinking in silence. Just when he was about to give up and confess, Ling spoke lightly.

"Okay." She said lightly, without any unnecessary questioning, and agreed directly.

So Zhuo was stunned for a moment, somewhat unbelievable: "What?"

"I said, okay." Ling said, and without waiting for his response, he took out his phone and said, "Wait for me to call."

This promise was so decisive and righteous that Zhuo felt even more ashamed.

It's really unfair of me to do this.

If he could really bring Sakura out, no matter whether Sakura would like him or not, at least taking care of his own life would not be a problem. This obviously conflicted with Zero's mission.

He also thought about whether he should investigate the matter himself.

Do you think the Sheqi Eight Clan is a vegetable market? You can come and go as you please, and you can't even enter a closed convenience store. And you're still thinking about investigating the head of the Yuan Clan of the Sheqi Eight Clan. Your hands are low, but your heart is high.

Being able to quickly and decisively ask for help is also a kind of ability.

Zhuo knew that Ling was a loyal girl. Since she could ask for help, why should she show off?

Does it look impressive?

Accepting one's own weakness is also what a man should do.

I'm sorry to classmate Ling.

I'm just sorry to Zero.

Zhuo looked up guiltily and saw the blonde girl took out the silver keypad phone she had seen before and called a girl who loved potato chips.

beep - beep -

drop.

It only rang twice before the call was connected. Zhuo seriously suspected that this was some kind of secret code between them to prevent someone with ulterior motives from impersonating Ling and obtaining information... For technical personnel, it is very easy to forge phone numbers and voice changers.

"I want to know whether Minamoto Chisei, the head of the Minamoto family, one of the top three families of the eight Neon hybrid Snake families, has any retainers now." Zero repeated his original words.

It’s true and original words!

She said 'I want to know'.

This made Zhuo even more ashamed, and he lowered his head. This time, Zhuo was sitting across from the low table, and couldn't hear the voice on the phone clearly, so he could only guess based on Ling's answer.

"(Voice on the phone)"

"I want to know whether Minamoto Chisei, the head of the Minamoto family, one of the top three families of the eight Neon hybrid Snake families, has any retainers now." Zero repeated it expressionlessly.

wash:"……"

There is no need to think about it. Su Enxi on the other end of the phone must have guessed something, her brain is so useful, and then she refused.

"(Voice on the phone)"

Ling glanced at Zhuo, then looked away and said calmly, "It's not just his reason, I want to know too."

Zhuo's eyelids trembled and his head lowered a little more.

"(Voice on the phone)"

"Right now, you can find out."

"(Voice on the phone)"

"I didn't betray you. I want to know, too."

"(Voice on the phone)"

"If you don't help me, I can go to Genji Heavy Industries to investigate this matter myself. It's not difficult."

It’s actually quite difficult for Zhuo.

His head was almost touching the table.

Lord Ling, thank you for your kindness. I will work like a slave to repay you in the next life!

In fact, it’s mainly about promising your body, but Zero might not agree.

"(Voice on the phone)" This time the voice on the other end of the phone lasted quite a long time.

"I know what I'm doing. Now I want to know whether Minamoto Chisei, the head of the Minamoto family, one of the top three families of the Snake Eight Families, has any retainers." This was the third time Zero repeated this sentence on the phone.

The good news is that she omitted the word 'now' and turned it into her own way of asking the question.

"(Voice on the phone)"

This time Zero didn't say anything and just waited quietly. It seemed like it was done.

After just a few seconds, "(voice on the phone)"

"understood."

Ling hung up the phone very decisively... maybe too decisively, Su Enxi on the other end of the phone was cursing a little, and Zhuo could hear some of the noise.

Zero looked at him and asked, "Why are you knocking on the table?"

"Because of sin." Zhuo answered with his forehead resting on the table.

Zero blinked and said, "... Minamoto no Chisei now has three retainers, two men and one woman, codenamed Crow, Yasha, and Sakura. They were all recruited as retainers by Minamoto no Chisei on the same day three years ago. Now Crow and Yasha are training at the headquarters of the Snake Eight Clan, and Sakura is receiving ninja training at the Fuma Clan."

Is it too late?
Hearing Ling telling the story as if he was reading his household registration booklet, Zhuo felt regretful but actually felt relieved in his heart.

At least it won't conflict with Zero's mission.

Huh? Why do you think so?
"Thank you." Zhuo thanked him solemnly.

"Please raise your head and talk to me."

Zhuo felt puzzled, but Ling helped him again, so he obeyed and raised his head.

She raised her head and looked at Zero, her face still expressionless.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

　Thanks to brother hlhlhlhl for the two monthly tickets.
