Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

Xie Yuchen didn't expect that Wu Xie, who looked innocent, actually had so many things hidden in his heart. Little Jiu Ye, who always spoke very carefully in front of others, was also at a loss for words at this time.

But Wu Xie didn't seem to need his comfort, and just shifted the topic back to Xie Yuchen.

"You and him must have known each other for a long time. I can actually see that among this group of people, apart from Zhang Qiling, you and Fourth Grandpa have a good relationship with him. He even really considers you a friend."

After hearing Wu Xie's words, Xie Yuchen was silent for a while before he spoke: "He treats me as a friend... Heh."

Wu Xie took off his shoes, soaked his tired feet in the water for a while, and replied suddenly: "If he really doesn't regard you as a friend, why would he care about your feelings?"

"He... cares about me?" Xie Yuchen exclaimed in disbelief, as if he had heard something absurd.

Wu Xie lowered his head and fiddled with his shoes on the shore, nodding his head and saying, "If he really didn't care about you, would he have told me you were here and asked me to look for you? Xiaohua, you have been in charge of the family since you were a child, so you should understand people's hearts better than me."

"If I'm not mistaken, Cheng Ji should have a fairly important position in the Nine Gates. I've only met him a few times, and I get the impression that he doesn't put on airs, but when he talks, I can still tell that he's no small figure."

"He is definitely not someone that our Wu family can raise. He has both money and power, and he knows you and Zhang Qiling. It would be strange if he is not the one in power among the Nine Gates."

Xie Yuchen admired Wu Xie a little. He was confused at first as to why the Nine Gates chose someone who seemed to know nothing and was so naive to complete their plan, but now he seemed to understand a little.

Wu Xie is really not naive. He thinks too highly of everyone, but he is not stupid. In fact, he is much smarter than the current generation of the Nine Gates.

He had some understanding of Jiumen's plan.

Such a person often gives the enemy a stupid feeling, but he is also someone who can often kill with one blow.

Just by taking such a simple look, he was able to figure out Cheng Ji's identity in such detail. I'm afraid that there are not many people in the Nine Gates who can do it now. Even he might not be able to do it like Wu Xie.

It seems that I underestimated it.

Not only did he underestimate Wu Xie, he also underestimated the Nine Gates' plan.

But Cheng Ji...

The loneliness in Xie Yuchen's eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Is he also part of that person's plan?

Wu Xie, who was standing beside him, seemed to be able to hear his thoughts and spoke in time: "You are not part of their plan. None of you are."

"They didn't intend to involve other people from the Nine Gates from the beginning. From the beginning, only the Wu family was involved in this game. Although I don't know what this game is, I'm afraid that it is not something that can be accomplished easily if they can make such a big fuss about it."

Xie Yuchen now seemed to understand how Cheng Ji felt when facing his problems.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about the person in front of him, after all, he is one of his few childhood friends, but he just can’t tell him what he knows, because this plan involves not only the Jie family, but the entire Nine Gates.

No carelessness is allowed.

But what makes Wu Xie better than him is that he knows that he is the chess piece who is kept in the dark, but he will not easily reveal these things before he is absolutely sure, and just cooperates calmly.

He couldn't do it. His dictionary could only accommodate things of which he was absolutely certain.

Wu Xie looked at Xie Yuchen, whose complexion had improved a little, and sighed softly. He put on his shoes and stood up. "Think about it carefully. I won't bother you any more. Oh, by the way, I guess Cheng Ji will come to you soon. If you have anything to say, just tell him directly."

After saying that, Wu Xie did not stay any longer. He patted Xie Yuchen on the shoulder and left.

When Xie Yuchen heard Wu Xie say that Cheng Ji was coming, his first reaction was that it was impossible. Wu Xie still didn't know this person well enough.

But now he is a little uncertain. He feels that Wu Xie does not understand this person, but has he really understood him?

He was originally certain of the answer, but now he seems not so sure.

Xie Yuchen sat for a while, and when he was about to feel that Wu Xie's guess was wrong this time, Cheng Ji really came.

The young man walked to the side of Xie Yuchen and said helplessly: "You are really angry with me."

Xie Yuchen replied in a muffled voice: "No."

When Cheng Ji heard Xie Yuchen's answer, he burst out laughing. As expected, although he was a little precocious, the childishness in his heart did not disappear, just like when he first met him, but was deliberately hidden by himself.

Cheng Ji didn't sit down. He squatted down beside Xie Yuchen and said with a smile, "Xiaohua said she wasn't angry and didn't even look at me. Want to chat?"

Xie Yuchen didn't turn his head away, but just said "hmm" lightly.

Cheng Ji looked at the still awkward Xie Yuchen and licked his back teeth with the tip of his tongue. He then moved closer to Xie Yuchen and said, "Is it because I didn't tell you about Wu Sanxing?"

Xie Yuchen was silenced for a moment by Cheng Ji's straightforward question, and then he replied, "No."

"Is that because you think I don't really consider you a friend?"

This time Xie Yuchen said nothing, neither admitting nor denying.

Cheng Ji looked at Xie Yuchen, who was not easy to communicate with, and rubbed his fingers in annoyance.

He knew that the old fox Wu Sanxing had no good intentions by letting him participate in this plan. Now Wu Xie and Jie Yuchen are both in his hands.

Wu Sanxing and Jie Lianhuan are now free and only need to plan their own affairs. Anyway, there is always a poor guy like him chasing after them to clean up their messes.

But even though he complains, he still needs to be coaxed.

Cheng Ji scratched his head, organized his words, and then said, "To be honest, I can completely ignore this matter, and Zhang Qiling can also ignore it directly."

Xie Yuchen was stunned when he heard Cheng Ji's words. He turned around unconsciously and looked at Cheng Ji beside him, waiting for the young man to continue.

Cheng Ji acted like a child for a rare time. He reached out and touched the warm stones under his feet, and said softly, "The reason I protected you in the beginning was simply because I thought it was unnecessary for a child to live such a hard life."

"But you are an eagle that can fly into the sky, not a canary, so I have no intention of interfering in anything you do. I am just a spectator, and it is not difficult for me to lend a hand when I see injustice."
