Chapter 459: Second Beauty on the Miscellaneous List
Leng Qinghan, true to her name, exudes a cold aura.
Her voice is cold, her temperament is cold, and even her tone is cold.
Zhang Chi could have killed her right away, considering she looks decent, but is she being so arrogant because she sees him as an easy target?
"I am indeed Zhang Chi. May I ask what brings you here, miss?"
Zhang Chi appears friendly, but he is already plotting how to kill Leng Qinghan.
Someone who is so unruly and comes looking for trouble is bound to clash with him, as he dislikes being bullied. This small conflict could easily escalate into a bigger one. Since he doesn't know about her background, it's better to prepare for the worst and avoid endless trouble in the future.
Leng Qinghan still hasn't answered Zhang Chi's question. She remains expressionless, resembling an ice sculpture.
Her narrow eyes, sharp eyebrows, and finely sculpted nose give her a delicate appearance, but her small cherry lips seem incapable of holding even a sausage.
She may be beautiful, but she seems very deserving of a beating.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have already gathered your three teammates, haven't you?"
"Yes, you guessed correctly."
Zhang Chi knows that if he were to ask, "How do you know?" she would definitely show off how she analyzed the situation.
Well, I won't give you the chance to show off.
Leng Qinghan: "..."
Zhang Chi's frankness surprises her.
"You should have already found a way to leave the illusion, right?"
"Yes."
Zhang Chi's response remains honest.
"What is it?"
"Why do you think I would tell you? What gives you the confidence?"
Zhang Chi asks sincerely, as if he isn't being sarcastic.
Leng Qinghan's face darkens as she says, "I can offer you some information that you can't refuse as an exchange."
"What information could I possibly refuse?"
Zhang Chi shrugs and asks.
Leng Qinghan sneers and says, "You are from the Western Continent. No one from the Western Continent has ever entered the Brahma Secret Realm. I can exchange this information with you. How about that?"
Zhang Chi waves his hand and says, "That won't be necessary. I prefer to explore on my own."
He indeed doesn't know much about this Secret Realm. After all, he just stumbled into it unexpectedly. Who would have thought that he would be dragged into the Secret Realm while stopping briefly to see off a friend?
Perhaps this is his luck. Trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes.
However, even though he entered hastily, Zhang Chi remains calm.
So what if there's no strategy?
The first group to enter the instance didn't have a strategy either, but they eventually figured it out, right?
If the seniors could do it, can't he?
Besides, this woman in front of him has been trying to create an image of herself as cold, aloof, and somewhat arrogant, while also attempting to show off her intelligence.
Now, here's the question: Would a smart person willingly provoke others for no reason?
Her self-image is severely fragmented. It may not be obvious at first glance, but Zhang Chi is an expert at discerning tea, so he can see through these petty tricks.
And the most outrageous thing is that she said she wanted to use the news from the Brahma Secret Realm to exchange for his method of breaking the illusion.
Laughable, if she had a strategy in her hands, why would she come to ask him how to break the illusion?
Leng Qinghan's script was said to be written by elementary school students, and even they overestimated her. If Zhang Chi didn't know where Leng Qinghan's true identity was, and didn't know her strength and background, Zhang Chi's tone wouldn't be so kind.
But Leng Qinghan still felt that she had lost face, and her face immediately became ugly.
"Do you know what my identity is?"
"If you don't tell me, how would I know? Are you famous?"
"Of course, have you heard of the Nine Continents Ranking? I am ranked second on the Fairy List."
"Oh, impressive."
Zhang Chi clapped in cooperation, and Leng Qinghan couldn't help but proudly say, "Now you know how impressive it is? If you obediently tell me the method to break the illusion, I won't hold your rudeness against you."
Zhang Chi: "..."
For a moment, he couldn't judge whether the other party was playing tricks on him or if it was really so outrageous.
"What I mean is, you guys are really impressive, there's actually a Fairy Ranking? How is it ranked? Family background? Beauty? Or strength? Also, who is ranked first? And why is it the Nine Continents Ranking?"
Leng Qinghan's face stiffened, and she couldn't see any respect from Zhang Chi.
Moreover, every word Zhang Chi said made her feel mocked.
"If you tell me the method to break the illusion, I will give you the answer."
"Okay, you go first."
Zhang Chi said indifferently.
It's just breaking the illusion, not a big deal, he doesn't care at all.
He was more curious about why he could see through the illusion and know the method to break the Secret Realm, while Leng Qinghan couldn't.
Seeing that Zhang Chi agreed so easily, Leng Qinghan also felt it was unbelievable.
But since the deal was reached, she didn't mind answering a few common questions.
"The Nine Continents Ranking is ranked based on family background, appearance, and overall strength. The first on the Fairy List is Wenren Shu.
As for why it's the Nine Continents, it includes the four major overseas immortal mountains. As for which four major immortal mountains, I don't think you, a person from the Western Continent, would know, nor is there a need to know."
"This Nine Continents includes the Western Continent, but my name is not on it, so I will never acknowledge it.
Don't take a second place on a miscellaneous list too seriously, it's useless."
Leng Qinghan was almost furious.
What does it mean to be second on a miscellaneous list?
"The Nine Continents Ranking is the most authoritative list. Those pillar families choose their partners from the list. Did you say there is no first on the list, Wenren Shu?"
"I've heard of her."
"You..."
Leng Qinghan originally just casually asked, thinking that this country bumpkin Zhang Chi wouldn't know the first on the list, but he actually knew.
"How do you know her? By the way, you saw her name in the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm."
"You're overthinking it. She's the first on the list, so her popularity is definitely higher than yours. I heard her name when I was in the Western Continent, she's really impressive!"
Although his achievements were all thanks to someone else playing for him, Zhang Chi didn't make fun of her. His undefeated record was also achieved through someone else playing for him.
But when Leng Qinghan heard Zhang Chi's words, she suddenly felt defeated.
The words "second on a miscellaneous list" echoed in her mind, making her head buzz.
She could only forcibly gather her mind and said impatiently, "I have answered your question, where is the answer I want?"
"The answer is to go with the flow. When everyone's stories are over, the illusion will also end."
"Impossible! Then what's the point of me desperately seeing through the illusion?"
"Um, the significance might be the absence of a spiritual tempering?"
Zhang Chi felt that this illusion had no ill intentions towards people, but rather seemed to be enlightening those who were immersed in the play.
Like Zi Mian, who wished for close family members, the illusion provided her with family members. Following the normal plot, she would experience the joy of being poisoned by others.
This also reminded Zhang Chi of the story of how he first met Zi Mian.
Zi Mian was also wholeheartedly protecting Jiang Qingyun, but in the end, Jiang Qingyun ended up being with him and completely distrusted Zi Mian, even wanting to kill her.
In the end, Zi Mian fell into her hands.
It seems that becoming Zhang Daguoren was also a predestined fate.
Tang Ruoling yearned for powerful strength, so she became the unfortunate second brother with overwhelming martial prowess. If the plot continued as usual, she would also have a great awakening and understand that everything she pursued was meaningless.
As for Long Yan...
Zhang Chi believed that he understood Long Yan well, but he couldn't understand why she would become a monk in the illusion. What does she usually think about?
Zhang Chi didn't understand, but after defeating her, he didn't bully her. He just left her in the room and had her change into women's clothing.
In conclusion, based on his own deductions, Zhang Chi concluded that this play would eventually reach its conclusion, and everyone would wake up and realize that it was all just a "dream within a dream," and then enter a state of enlightenment.
Therefore, this Desire Sea should be a very pure opportunity and not too dangerous.
However, just to be safe, Zhang Chi changed the plot for Tang Ruoling and the others, so that they wouldn't follow the plot.
The so-called opportunity is just a spiritual baptism. If they really have a great awakening and enter the Buddhist path, then that would be a real loss.
Instead of letting them awaken, it's better to let them remain confused.
This answer obviously didn't satisfy Leng Qinghan. She looked at Zhang Chi with suspicion and said, "Are you lying to me? Shouldn't the Secret Realm trial be about who is more capable? Why is it that I see through the Secret Realm but don't get any benefits? I refuse to accept it!"
Leng Qinghan's expression twisted. She spent a long time perfecting her appearance and showing off her Celestial Human identity, but now it was all gone.
So she was just pretending to be beautiful!
Zhang Chi shrugged and said, "If you're not satisfied, you can complain. My temple is small, so I won't keep you as a guest."
"Zhang Chi! I'll remember you. If I find out that you lied to me, your family will be destroyed."
Zhang Chi: "..."
Miss, do you know who I am?
Do orphans understand?
Faced with this kind of death threat, Zhang Chi just smiled kindly and didn't engage in pointless arguments.
Leng Qinghan thought she had scared Zhang Chi, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.
At this moment, Leng Qinghan didn't know that she had drawn the hatred of a big boss. She was even more angry than Zhang Chi when he left the house.
It can be seen that anger can be transferred.
She was able to see through the Secret Realm not because of her own will, but because of the Law Treasure she carried with her. However, when she entered the Secret Realm, the treasure cracked, and so did Leng Qinghan.
A High Grade protective Law Treasure was scrapped, but it allowed her to remain clear-headed in the illusion and not be affected by its strange power. Leng Qinghan was also full of confidence, thinking that she wouldn't lose this time.
After all, she seized the opportunity in the Secret Realm and realized it was an illusion.
But after realizing it was an illusion, she didn't know what to do.
Breaking the illusion and being the first to clear it was her only train of thought, but no matter how she tried, she was still trapped in the illusion.
It wasn't until she heard the story of Zhang Daguoren and learned that his name was Zhang Chi that she came eagerly, wanting to test whether he had also seen through the illusion, otherwise his behavior wouldn't be so absurd.
The process of testing Zhang Chi went smoothly. The first sentence allowed the two of them to smoothly communicate and confirm that they had both seen through the illusion.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chi really had a way to break the Secret Realm, but what difference did it make if he didn't break it?
Everyone was destined to reach the finish line at the same time, so what was the point of her being the first to run?
Zhang Chi's words were even more infuriating. Others could undergo a spiritual trial, but she couldn't.
The treasure cracked, and she fell behind instead of catching up with others. Leng Qinghan's mentality collapsed.
Coincidentally, Leng Qinghan, filled with anger, walked and soon arrived at Wenren Shu's residence. With a glance, she saw Wenren Shu.
They were old acquaintances.
Looking at Wenren Shu, she didn't seem to have seen through the illusion.
Once innocent-looking, now she had a seductive expression.
Hehe, interesting.
Leng Qinghan suddenly discovered something new and interesting and forgot about her own affairs.
If she's not doing well, Wenren Shu shouldn't expect to be doing well either!
...
Time flies, especially in the illusion.
In a daze, Zhang Chi felt like a long time had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment.
This sense of time distortion made Zhang Chi pensive.
And he also realized that a year had indeed passed in the outside world, during which many incredible stories had taken place.
With the initial crowdfunding, Wenren Shu started her business and became the richest female merchant in Mingxin County in just one year.
Mingxin Town was just a small town under Mingxin County. With Wenren Shu's influence, she could have long rescued Zi Mian and Tang Ruoling from their predicament.
But she didn't do that. Instead, she helped others generously, making friends everywhere and earning the nickname "timely rain."
Zhang Chi was shocked when he heard this news.
So the illusion is not even concealing anything, huh?
Not afraid of the color palette's warning?
After inquiring further, Zhang Chi found out that the five words were all titles.
Only then did Zhang Chi realize that relying solely on business wouldn't allow Wenren Shu to rise so quickly.
She had truly embarked on a plot of indulgence.
Regarding this, Zhang Chi could only say one thing: 6.
All the information he obtained through inquiries couldn't pass the review, so Zhang Chi didn't pay any more attention to it.
Anyway, he closed the door and focused on his cultivation every day.
Sometimes, he would discuss the Dao with Tang Ruoling, even though they still hadn't seen through the illusion.
But they hadn't encountered any problems in their daily lives.
Over time, Zi Mian had accepted it, and Tang Ruoling had gotten used to it. As for Long Yan...
Zhang Chi always felt that something was off with her, so he kept her locked up at home and didn't let her out.
However, Long Yan, wearing a moon-white robe, had a sense of holiness that made people want to defile her and pull her down from her divine position.
It was precisely because of this unique temptation that Zhang Chi never made a move on her.
This was a Buddhist Gate Secret Realm, and Zhang Chi gave enough respect to the Buddhist figures in the illusion.
After receiving news about Wenren Shu, Zhang Chi planned to go to the back residence to share Wenren Shu's recent situation with Zi Mian and Tang Ruoling, and also to crown Zi Mian as the king.
Whether in reality or in the illusion, she was the Green-Faced One!
Just as he passed through the courtyard, Zhang Chi saw Long Yan, dressed in pure white robes, standing quietly in the courtyard.
Today, her aura was very unfamiliar, her eyes like a vast ocean, deep and unfathomable.
When Zhang Chi walked up to her, she clasped her hands together and chanted the Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha Buddha, this humble monk has been waiting for the layman for a long time..."
