That would be fantastic!
Evan Chen thought to himself, just when he was worrying about how to approach that wicked woman, she came looking for him.
No, actually, she came looking for Alex Li.
Either way, as long as he could find a way to get close to her and gather some firsthand information, his chances of being ambushed in the future would be greatly reduced.
“Junior Brother Alex, aren’t you afraid?”
Seeing Alex Li so calm, the white-robed disciple felt a bit annoyed.
“Afraid of what?” Alex Li said arrogantly, “With my relationship with the third elder, do you think she would dare to eat me?”
Hearing this, several white-robed disciples laughed inwardly.
This kid has no idea how terrifying the young lady can be when she gets angry.
Forget the third elder, she wouldn’t even give face to her own mother.
Just wait, you’ll see soon enough. Even if you don’t die, you’ll be skinned alive.
So, the white-robed disciples sneered, “Of course, of course, with the third elder as your backing, Junior Brother Alex will surely be safe and sound. We were overthinking it. Please, Junior Brother.”
Under the guidance of a white-robed disciple, Alex Li walked leisurely towards Sophia Ji’s palace, humming a little tune.
Along the way, Evan Chen, through Alex Li’s eyes, saw many beautiful sights.
Especially the female disciples of Sky Moon Cave occasionally floating by in the air, their immortal grace was simply breathtaking.
If he could have a few of these female disciples as maids, that would be perfect.
Thinking this, Evan Chen secretly despised himself. If those proper cultivators knew that his mind was full of such thoughts, they would definitely look down on him with disdain.
Then he thought, so what? I’m not Li Huaizhen, why shouldn’t I think about it! Besides, those guys who look all righteous and claim to be devoted to the Dao, who knows how filthy they are behind the scenes.
With this thought, Evan Chen felt relieved.
Unknowingly, Alex Li’s body arrived at the gate of Sophia Ji’s palace.
The palace gate was adorned with dragons and phoenixes, and one could vaguely sense powerful killing restrictions guarding it.
Looking up, he saw wisps of purple energy floating above the palace gate, which was the purest Immortal Energy.
“Reporting to the young lady, Alex Li has been brought here. Please give your orders.”
The white-robed disciple bowed towards the palace gate.
Immediately, the gate opened.
“Get in here!”
Sophia Ji’s voice echoed from inside.
The white-robed disciple beside him grinned. From the young lady’s tone, it seemed Alex Li was in for it today.
Evan Chen controlled Alex Li’s body and walked in without hesitation.
After all, it wasn’t his own body. Even if it got destroyed, it didn’t matter. No need to be afraid.
Once Alex Li entered, the palace gate automatically closed.
A surge of Immortal Power instantly locked his body, dragging him to a pavilion in front and throwing him heavily to the ground.
Because the other party used Immortal Power without any concealment, Evan Chen’s consciousness sensed Sophia Ji’s realm.
“Pathetic, born with such abundant resources, and only at the Ninth Immortal Realm, pathetic!”
Evan Chen secretly despised her.
With Sophia Ji’s bottom-tier talent, if she hadn’t been born into a good family, she would probably have ended up in a place like the Spirit Phoenix Pavilion.
Despise as he might, he had to admit that being born into a good family was also a kind of fortune, wasn’t it?
Moreover, Evan Chen had heard that some heaven-defying experts, when their lifespan was nearing its end, could actively seek reincarnation and choose their next life.
Evan Chen used to think it was just boasting, but from his master Mason Zhu’s memories, it was indeed true.
That powerful Demon Emperor not only successfully reincarnated but also stole Mason Zhu’s Dao Seed and Emperor Root, and even planted a deadly poison in him that even the Immortal Emperor couldn’t cure, ruining his entire life. Thinking back on it now, Evan Chen still felt a chill down his spine.
This also proved how arduous the path of cultivation was. Even those born with an Emperor Root could be sabotaged, let alone other cultivators.
“Greetings, young lady.”
Alex Li got up from the ground and saluted.
“I heard you were captured by Evan Chen yesterday.”
Sophia Ji asked coldly.
“Yes, young lady.” Alex Li raised his head and said, “This face of mine was beaten by that bastard. I beg the young lady to seek justice for me.”
Sophia Ji frowned and sensed his condition. This guy had several broken ribs, and his face was swollen like a pig’s head. Quite miserable.
“You’re a useless piece of trash. What’s the point of keeping you? Cripple your meridians and get out of the cave!”
Sophia Ji showed no sympathy, instead, she was very angry.
“Please calm down, young lady.” Alex Li calmly saluted again and said, “Reporting to the young lady, yesterday’s incident was intentional on my part. I hope the young lady will show mercy.”
“You idiot, you did it on purpose? You let that bastard beat you up on purpose?”
Hearing this, Sophia Ji was furious.
Alex Li explained, “Young lady, I did it to infiltrate the enemy and seize the jade token that controls the restrictions of the old residence.”
Sophia Ji’s expression softened a lot upon hearing this, “Oh? Did you get it?”
Alex Li replied respectfully, “Not yet. But Evan Chen has completely let his guard down around me. He even ordered me to be at his beck and call. I believe it won’t be long before I have the chance to get the jade token.”
Sophia Ji frowned slightly and said, “Nonsense, do you really think he’s dumber than you? Why would he trust you?”
Alex Li said, “Reporting to the young lady, here’s how it is… Before we joined the cave, I had already met Evan Chen on the road. This guy kept boasting that he was the master’s uncle, showing off in front of me. I was scared at the time, so I pretended to be submissive and obedient to him, so from the beginning, he had no guard against me.
“Moreover, yesterday, I suppressed my cultivation and deliberately showed weakness, thinking that even if I had to sacrifice my life, I would complete this task for the young lady. After he beat me up, he thought he was great. After my desperate pleas, he agreed to spare my life on the condition that I would follow his orders and secretly help him transport supplies. This way, he could hide in the old residence without any worries.”
Sophia Ji pondered for a moment and then said, “So, you really gained his trust?”
Alex Li said, “On the surface, he should trust me now, but he might still be cautious. As long as I endure for a while longer, he will definitely let his guard down. By then, I will definitely get the jade token for the young lady, and you can do whatever you want with him.”
After hearing this, Sophia Ji’s expression completely softened. She said indifferently, “You are quite cunning. As long as you sincerely work for me, when I capture Evan Chen, you will be credited. Of course, if you dare to deceive me, I will make sure you die without a grave. Understand?”
Sophia Ji wasn’t worried that Alex Li would deceive her. In her view, a newbie who had just joined the cave wouldn’t have the guts to deceive her.
Besides, he had no reason to help Evan Chen and stand against her.
Alex Li pretended to be overjoyed and said, “Rest assured, young lady. I have a deep-seated hatred for that guy. I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood. Besides, the young lady is so wise, how could I deceive you?”
Sophia Ji snorted coldly, “That’s right. I’ll be waiting for your news. You may leave.”
Alex Li didn’t leave but said, “Young lady, I have a small request.”
