I nodded. “Maybe.”
Ma Ji sighed. “Why would you return to this attitude again? I hate it so much. Nanxing, this isn’t cute. Why don’t you come with me and forget everything to be my puppet again?”
I shook my head. “No, thank you.”
Ma Ji spread her hands and smiled. “Then, you can’t blame me. I have your friend and the worms in your body.”
“Ma Ji.” I looked at her. I just didn’t understand why there was such an evil person? What kind of environment would create a person like her who didn’t have a conscience?
“Yes,” she replied with a smile.
“Jing Ni is my best friend,” I told her calmly.
“I know. That’s why I captured her so that you could be obedient.” She was proud of herself.
I sighed lightly. “Alright, you’ve won. Tell me what you want me to do. As long as you can let Jing Ni go, I’m willing to go with you.”
Ma Ji was very satisfied. “This is more like it. This reminds me of three years ago. You weren’t so obedient back then, but you knew how to be practical. You followed me for the sake of Jing Tian, and now you’re doing this for your good friend, You’re so loyal. Nanxing, is there a need to do this? You’re always sacrificing yourself for others.”
I smiled. ‘You won’t understand this kind of feeling your whole life. It’s because you’ve never loved anyone with all your heart. Wait, that’s not true. You love my uncle with all your heart. However, my uncle only loves himself. Therefore, you will be his chess piece for the rest of your life. Of course, a chess piece will never understand the true feelings between humans.”
Ma Ji was not fazed. “Why waste time on words? We should leave as soon as possible. I don’t like to chat with you in your territory. When we get back to my place, we can chat all we can. This time, I won’t seal your memories. It is quite tiring hiding things from you. Your greatest use for us is your Phoenix Blood. It is a priceless treasure. Our research results have already been quite fruitful. We can’t just give up halfway. Do you understand?” I sighed. “Does it matter whether I understand it or not?”
Ma Ji smiled. “You’re right. It doesn’t matter.”
“Where is Jing Ni? I can follow you, but you have to return Jing Ni. I only have one request. “.
Ma Ji said, “I’ve hidden her in the Jing family.”
I looked at her. “I don’t believe you.”
Ma Ji smiled. “Nanxing, don’t be like this. If we don’t have trust, how can we continue working together?”
“Bring me Jing Ni, and I’ll go with you. There’s no such thing as trust between us anymore,” I stated the truth.
Ma Ji thought for a moment. “That’s true. I don’t trust you either. However, in the current situation, what choice do you have? Come with me, and I’ll ensure the safety of your friend.”
Mai Qi roared, “What nonsense is this? Do you think you can walk all over us? Let me tell you, don’t think that you can get away with your little tricks! We have people who are better than you!”
“Mai Qi!” I stopped her.
Ma Ji didn’t get angry. “Yes, I can walk all over you because there’s nothing you can do to me. Nanxing, there’s no point in talking anymore. You’re just stalling for time. My patience has run out, and no one is coming to save you. Let’s go.”.
