Fantasy: The Empress Betrayed, I Backhandedly Choose the System

Regarding the Taoist priest's proposal, Ji Chen agreed without much hesitation.

Firstly, it was because after looking at the other party, he found that he was indeed far behind the Great General, and he needed to practice hard again, and the other party was so strong, perhaps he could indeed learn something by staying with the other party.

Secondly, it was because of the last sentence that the Taoist priest said:

If Ji Chen goes astray, he will come and kill him.

This is the most important thing in Ji Chen's opinion.

He wasn't sure if there would be a day when he would be unable to suppress the demonic blood in his body and the demonic sword in his hand.If he does turn into a monster, he needs someone to finish him off.

The Taoist was willing to take on this role, Ji Chen couldn't have wished for it.

So he nodded towards the Taoist priest, and he said, "My name is Ji Chen, Dust of Dust, you are..."

"I'm just a wandering Taoist priest with no name and surname. I was appreciated by the king of Jiangzhi Kingdom, so I stayed here and took an official position." The Taoist priest smiled and answered vaguely.Looking at Ji Chen again, he thought for a while and said, "Since I want you to stay by my side, you can call me Daoist from now on. Although most people like to call me General, I'm still not used to that title. You Yelling next to me every day, I guess I'm going to be annoyed to death."

As he said this, Ji Chen obediently called out: "Master Daoist."

He knew that the priest was not anonymous, just like the mother-in-law he met at the beginning, maybe there were some reasons why he had to hide his name.

It's just that Ji Chen doesn't like to inquire about other people's past, and he doesn't have much curiosity to delve into the secrets hidden by others.Since the Taoist leader didn't want to tell him, he didn't ask.Just knowing how to address each other is enough.

The Taoist priest is also very satisfied with his attitude.

Patting Ji Chen on the shoulder again, he said: "I came here to accept the challenge today because someone called me to fight. Now that the fight is over, I want to go back and see my apprentice. Will you come with me?"

Ji Chen naturally nodded.

To be honest, he is not very clear about what he is going to do now.He simply wanted to fulfill the agreement he made with Su Mei. He wanted to be a general, but he only wanted the title.

Other than that, he didn't even have much idea about how to proceed with his life.

Now the Taoist is teaching him to be a general, and he will follow wherever the Taoist is going.

Ji Chen thought so in his heart, but he never thought that the Taoist said he was going to see his apprentice, but he took him directly into the palace of the monarch.

It was the first time for Ji Chen to enter such a place when he grew up so big.

When he sent Ji Xing'er back to Ji's house, he just looked inside from a distance.He could see that the buildings inside the wall were much better than those outside.But he didn't go in after all, and he didn't know where the specific difference was.

But it's different now.

When he entered the palace and saw the resplendent and luxurious decoration inside, he only felt a little inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable.

The Taoist looked back at him and said with a smile: "Ji Chen, is this the first time you have come to this kind of place? I was also frightened when I first came here. It's like putting all the gold in front of you. I'm afraid that others don't know how rich their country is. The upstart-like appearance makes people look depressing. To be honest, I don't like it very much."

Ji Chen nodded.

He feels the same as a Taoist priest, he knows that this palace doesn't exist in the same world as him, but he doesn't feel envy or jealousy, he just doesn't like it very much.

The Taoist continued: "But since you want to stay by my side, you will come to this place often in the future. My apprentice lives here. If you come here a few times, you should get used to it."

Ji Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Is the Taoist priest also used to this?"

The Taoist shrugged and returned him a helpless smile.

The two walked through the palace and into the garden behind.Then Ji Chen saw from a distance, sitting beside the stone table in the garden was a young girl who seemed to be about the same age as him.

The girl is very beautiful, and the clothes on her body are gorgeous and exquisite.She sat there silently, like a doll on a display stand.

Ji Chen followed the Taoist priest all the way, and when he reached the girl, the girl suddenly realized that they had arrived, she was taken aback for a moment, then immediately stood up, and bowed politely to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist patted her on the shoulder, motioning her to straighten up.

Then he turned his head and explained to Ji Chen, he said: "This is my apprentice, her name is Gu Nianqing. She should be about the same age as you, and you two can be each other's companions in the future."

Ji Chen nodded quickly.

Gu Nianqing looked at him and shrank subconsciously.

She seemed to be very timid, and when she met Ji Chen, a stranger, she felt extremely terrified.

Ji Chen had no doubts that if the Taoist priest wasn't by his side, if the girl saw him alone, she would probably have fled long ago.

In order to let the other party dispel this fear, Ji Chen worked hard to squeeze out a gentle smile.He said: "Hello, my name is Ji Chen, I..."

"No need." Before he finished speaking, the Taoist waved his hand, interrupting Ji Chen's voice.

Then he picked up the pen and paper on the stone table, wrote the word "Ji Chen" on it, pointed to the word, and pointed to Ji Chen.

The girl watched the behavior of the Taoist priest and nodded slowly.

"My apprentice can't hear and can't speak, so if you have anything to communicate with her, just use this." The Taoist raised the pen and paper in his hand and explained to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen continued to nod.

He didn't look at the girl with sympathy, because he knew that the girl couldn't hear or speak, but she could see.

For her situation, maybe sympathy is the saddest look for her?

Thinking about it, Ji Chen reached out for the pen, wrote the word "friend" on the paper, and handed the paper to the girl.

The girl looked at the words on it, was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

She laughed silently and brilliantly, then tears flowed from her laughter, and finally turned into silent crying.

The Taoist kept watching, until the girl was lying on the table crying, reluctant to put down the piece of paper with "friend" written on it, then he patted Ji Chen and said to him: "My apprentice is from this country. The king's youngest daughter, she has a sister above her. The elder sister is gifted with strong spiritual power, but this child is dull, lacks spiritual power, and is born disabled, so he has never been favored."

Ji Chen nodded.

The Taoist continued: "She has no friends, and few people even know that the monarch has a young daughter. To her parents, her existence is more like a stain. So people in the palace bully her, and the monarch will not No matter what. Maybe in their opinion, even if she died suddenly one day, it would be considered a good thing."

Ji Chen frowned: "The Daoist, you..."

"I like this child because her eyes are clean and her heart is very clean." The Taoist said, "She reminds me of a child I once knew, so I promised the king to stay as a general, but only to give her Just be a master. I told you to come with me and tell you this, not to make you sympathize with her. I just want to say, if I’m not here, you can watch her for me, play some games with her, whatever , don't let people bully her."
