Chapter 1397 Ren Ruyi's straightforwardness and display of force

Picking up the gravel on the ground, Zhou Chen aimed it at the river surface and threw it hard. The gravel bounced on the river surface seven or eight times before falling into the water.

Ren Ruyi didn't come back until he had skipped the ball for the 63rd time.

"Are you done asking?"

"Finished asking."

She wanted to ask Yu Lang not only to know the person behind the scenes, but also for her sister Linglong in Baique Camp. Linglong was harmed by this man. Now that he fell into her hands, the result was self-evident.

"You just said you needed my help. Tell me what I can do for you."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, if you don't mind, I would like to help you check your injuries and your internal strength problems."

"Inner power?"

Ren Ruyi looked surprised: "My internal energy disappeared because I took Zhu Yiwei's All Poison Solution. My internal energy was completely lost within seven days. Only three days have passed. It will take a few more days to recover."

"The internal skills I practice are somewhat special. They are very effective in healing injuries and can also alleviate poison to a certain extent. They may be useful to you. However, in order to do this, I need to touch your Dantian. I don't know..."

Before Zhou Chen finished speaking, Ren Ruyi said directly: "Then let's give it a try."

Seeing that Ren Ruyi agreed without any hesitation, Zhou Chen smiled.

"it is good."

The two of them sat cross-legged. Zhou Chen put his hands on Ren Ruyi's back and used Yangzhou Man's internal force to heal and examine Ren Ruyi.

The Yangzhou Slow that he improved is his unique internal energy method. It is slightly different from Li Lianhua's Yangzhou Slow, but the difference is not big. The effects of healing and detoxification are the same.

Zhou Chen indeed did not feel the existence of internal force in Ren Ruyi's body. The side effects of Wan Du Jie were indeed severe.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chen opened his eyes.

"Feel it."

Ren Ruyi tried to practice her internal energy, and to her surprise, she actually felt the internal energy.

"It's really useful. I've recovered some of my internal energy, but the amount is very small."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It seems that my internal energy is still effective, but it can't make you fully recover."

Ren Ruyi stood up from the ground and said seriously: "This is enough."

Although the recovered internal energy was little, it was much better than having no internal energy at all. If she had this little internal energy just now, she would not have been injured by Yue Sanniang and her subordinates.

"Is your shoulder wound better?"

It would have been fine if Zhou Chen didn't mention this. As soon as he mentioned it, Ren Ruyi couldn't help but think of the time when he helped her change the medicine. Seeing what happened to her body, she glared at Zhou Chen in dissatisfaction.

"It's okay, let's talk about your business first."

"Okay, the favor I want to ask you for is not easy. You were present when Zhang Song talked to Ning Yuanzhou before. You know that Wu Kingdom is going to send an envoy to An Kingdom, and the princess is pretending to be the prince. But the princess's situation is a bit special, so she needs..."

Zhou Chen told Ren Ruyi his purpose in great detail.

After hearing this, Ren Ruyi asked, "You want me to teach your princess and tell her about the situation in Anguo. Are you sure you are not kidding me?"

"Of course not. I have now joined the delegation and I am sincerely inviting you. Ning Yuanzhou, the head of the delegation, has no objection."

"But you're not worried about my identity, and you're not worried that I might harm you?"

"Do you know?"

Looking at Zhou Chen's calm expression, Ren Ruyi remained silent. She wouldn't do that. She had already defected from Zhuyiwei a long time ago and it was impossible for her to work for Zhuyiwei again.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again: "I can agree, but you also have to promise to do something for me."

"You can talk to Ning Yuanzhou about this when the time comes. He should agree. Even if he doesn't agree, I will still help you."

"Why are you willing to help me? Do you like me?"

The sudden question startled Zhou Chen.

"Why do you think so?"

Ren Ruyi answered very seriously: "You already know that I am from the Red Guards and have been in the White Sparrow Camp. A man who helps a woman unconditionally must have some ulterior motive. There is nothing in me that is worth your ulterior motive. There is only one possibility, that you like me."

This straightforward tone made Zhou Chen sigh. He was indeed a cold-blooded assassin. Although he had learned a lot, he still did not understand the ways of the world.

"Is not it?"

Facing Ren Ruyi's inquiring gaze, Zhou Chen did not feel nervous, but replied calmly: "It is undeniable that I do have some feelings for you, but I can't say I like you. Besides, who told you that I would help you unconditionally?"

Ren Ruyi frowned slightly: "What are your conditions?"

"I think you are a very powerful assassin. I want to learn from you how to kill, how to disguise yourself, how to hide, and many other things."

Zhou Chen was not deliberately looking for conditions, he was indeed very interested in these things. Ren Ruyi was indeed a top assassin with maxed-out assassin skills.

Although he had never thought of becoming an assassin, it is always better to have more skills than less. After learning these, even if he does not become an assassin, he can guard against assassins. In the future, he may travel through more martial arts worlds, and these skills will definitely be very useful.

Ren Ruyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "These are not easy to learn, but I have seen your martial arts and swordsmanship, so you should learn faster than others. If you really want to learn, I can teach you."

"Then it's settled."

Ren Ruyi nodded, but no one knew what she was thinking, and she suddenly said something else.

"You're actually a pretty nice person. Are you really not helping me just because you like me?"

"No, are you always so direct in your words?"

Zhou Chen felt that it was only because of his rich experience and strong resistance. If it were any other man, he would probably be confused by Ren Ruyi's straightforward conversation.

Ren Ruyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "Isn't it good to be straightforward? If it's yes, it's yes. If it's no, it's no. A benefactor of mine once told me not to fall in love with a man easily, so I will listen to her and not fall in love with a man easily."

Zhou Chen understood what she meant and knew who the benefactor she was talking about was.

"It seems that your benefactor has been hurt by a man before, so she said this to you, but in fact, what she said is not completely wrong. Love can sometimes make people confused or hurt."

Ren Ruyi now has no idea what love is. She is confused when discussing these things with her, so Zhou Chen didn't say much.

The two men rode away together, and Ning Yuanzhou and his men were waiting for them at Zhang's Tea House in front.

The speed of riding horses was still very fast. Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi soon arrived at Zhangji Tea House and met Ning Yuanzhou and others.

In addition to Ning Yuanzhou, Yuan Lu, Qian Zhao and Yu Shisan were all there. When they saw Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi coming over, they all came forward to greet them.

Especially Yu Shisan, his eyes changed when he saw Ren Ruyi in red.

Without waiting for Ning Yuanzhou to talk to Zhou Chen, he posed in a showy manner and leaned on Qian Zhao's shoulder.

"It is better not to know that beauty is the most difficult thing to achieve."

As she spoke, she fiddled with the butterfly hairpin on her head, which made a tinkling sound.

Qian Zhao pushed him away uncooperatively with a look of disgust on his face, which made Yu Shisan look very dissatisfied.

Seeing that Yu Shisan was about to continue reciting poetry, Zhou Chen immediately interrupted him.

"Ning Yuanzhou, I have brought the person here."

Ning Yuanzhou nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ruyi. We meet again. I may have to trouble you this time."

Ren Ruyi replied in a cold tone: "He told me that I can agree, but I also have conditions. You have to help me do one thing. As long as you agree, we can cooperate."

Ning Yuanzhou said: "Okay, Miss Ruyi, let's go over there and talk."

Ren Ruyi glanced at Zhou Chen, and when she saw Zhou Chen nod, she walked away with Ning Yuanzhou to discuss the matter.

Yu Shisan kept watching eagerly, and only after Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi walked away did he run to Zhou Chen happily.

"Zhou Chen, who is this beauty? She looks very unique. What is your relationship with her? Can you introduce her to me?"

Qian Zhao also looked at Zhou Chen, and his calm eyes revealed some gossip.

Zhou Chen said: "Her name is Ren Ruyi, she is my friend and trustworthy."

"That's it?"

Yu Shisan was very dissatisfied: "Tell me more about her, such as her background, whether she has a lover, etc."

Qian Zhao glanced at Yu Shisan with disdain: "I don't know whether she has a lover or not, but I know that you have no chance. She only has eyes for Zhou Chen."

Yu Shisan was furious: "Qian Zhao, you know nothing."

He caught Qian Zhao and scolded him, but Qian Zhao ignored him and went back to drinking tea, which made Yu Shisan so angry that he fumed again.

After a while, Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi came back.

"I have already discussed with Miss Ruyi. She will join our delegation and be responsible for teaching the princess..."

Qian Zhao interrupted: "Prince Li."

Ning Yuanzhou smiled and explained, "Don't worry, Miss Ruyi knows the princess's identity. She was also present when I talked to Prime Minister Zhang that day."

This dispelled Qian Zhao's suspicion and vigilance.

Ning Yuanzhou took the initiative to introduce Qian Zhao and Ren Ruyi to Ren Ruyi.

"This is Qian Zhao, who knows a little bit about everything. This is Yu Shisan."

"No?"

Yu Shisan's eyes widened in dissatisfaction, and he quickly introduced himself to Ren Ruyi: "Miss Ruyi, my name is Yu Shisan, and I know a little more than Qian Zhao."

But Ren Ruyi didn't even look at him, which made him very embarrassed.

"It seems that Zhou Chen has already introduced her, so I will introduce her again. Her name is Ren Ruyi, and she is a bad person in Chu State."

When Ning Yuanzhou introduced Ren Ruyi's origin, Zhou Chen remained calm. Ren Ruyi was just surprised for a moment but did not show it. She was just here for cooperation and she did not care how Ning Yuanzhou introduced her.

After they got to know each other, they started on their journey.

"The delegation has already set out a day ahead of us. We need to catch up in time, so we need to speed up next."

In order to speed up, Zhou Chen, Ning Yuanzhou and Yu Shisan all rode horses, Qian Zhao was responsible for driving the carriage, and Yuan Lu and Ren Ruyi sat on the cargo in the carriage.

Ning Yuanzhou rode side by side with Zhou Chen and told him: "You are well aware of the grudges between our Liudaotang and Zhuyiwei. I need you to warn her not to reveal her flaws in front of everyone, otherwise there will be trouble."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, I will watch her and nothing will happen."

Ning Yuanzhou rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid her identity will be exposed and our people will be in danger. This woman is too cruel."

Zhou Chen assured: "She won't. What you see is just the surface. In fact, she is not as bad as you think."

"I think you are really fascinated by him and have been speaking well of her."

"I'm just telling the truth. Once she starts teaching the princess, you'll realize how correct it was to let her join the mission."

"I hope so. You will be responsible for taking good care of her then."

"Okay, got it."

Zhou Chen slowed down, came to Ren Ruyi's side, took out a food box from his horse and handed it to Ren Ruyi.

"What?" Ren Ruyi looked puzzled.

“Zhangji Yikousu.”

Ren Ruyi opened the food box, saw the Zhangji Crispy Pastry inside, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, looking at Zhou Chen's back with curious eyes.

When he saw Yuanlu standing nearby, he drooled, swallowed hard, and generously shared it with him.

"Brother Yuan, can you tell me about Zhou Chen? What kind of person is he?"

Yuanlu chewed the biscuit in his mouth, swallowed it hard, and said, "Brother Zhou, I don't know him very well. He was originally a Taoist in the Hell Realm. Later, when Ning Touer founded the Senluo Palace, he joined the Senluo Palace."

"I also feel strange when I think about it. I remember that Brother Zhou's martial arts skills were average before, but when I saw him again a few days ago, I found that after more than half a year, he has become so powerful. Boss Ning said that compared with more than half a year ago, Brother Zhou has changed a lot. Even Boss Ning can't see through him."

"is it?"

Ren Ruyi was thoughtful. She had thought Yuanlu would know Zhou Chen very well, but it seemed that he didn't know much more than her.

A lot of changes have taken place in more than half a year, which is indeed very abnormal. She has not seen Zhou Chen more than half a year ago, and only knows the current Zhou Chen. She can't see through him at all, but it is undeniable that she does not hate this man.

As the two were talking, Yu Shisan, who couldn't bear the loneliness, quietly asked Zhou Chen: "Is this Miss Ruyi with you?"

Zhou Chen said: "Don't make wild guesses, she and I are just friends now."

"Now, we're just friends. Does that mean you have feelings for her?" Yu Shisan smiled a little obscenely.

"I know what you want to ask, but I advise you not to provoke her, otherwise you will be the only one who suffers."

"Tsk tsk, I haven't even thought about what to do yet, and you've already started to protect her. It seems like you really care about her. This makes me even more curious."

There was a gleam in Yu Shisan's eyes, so he controlled his horse to turn around and ran to chat with Ren Ruyi.

Before he could say just two words, Ren Ruyi took the bamboo stick from Yuanlu and started fighting with Yu Shisan. Even though Yu Shisan tried his best to defend himself, he was still stabbed in the weak spot.

"Your weakness is at the Juque acupoint."

Qian Zhao, who was in charge of driving the carriage, took the initiative to attack and also fought with Ren Ruyi, but after a few moves, he was also subdued by Ren Ruyi.

"Your weakness is at the Jingming acupoint."

After some action, Ren Ruyi showed his abilities and everyone started on their way again.

Ning Yuanzhou said to Zhou Chen: "Your Miss Ruyi is really smart and decisive. Now Qian Zhao and the others dare not underestimate her anymore."

Zhou Chen thought this was very good. It was difficult for the weak to gain respect. Demonstrating one's strength at the right time would also enable everyone to cooperate better.

Although Yu Shisan suffered a setback, he didn't care at all. He ran to Zhou Chen again and asked Zhou Chen about Ren Ruyi's situation, but he was not as casual as before.

After a day's journey, Zhou Chen and his team finally caught up with the delegation and reunited with them.
