The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 589: Chapter 586: Negotiation!_1

Qingyin looked at Yang Chen with a serious expression: “Yang Chen, you just tried to break through this weak spot. What was the result?”

“The same as you, Miss Qingyin.” Yang Chen replied honestly.

He was now beginning to understand the personality of this woman.

She was unrestrained like a swordsman, honest and straightforward, not showing the pretentiousness of other women. She was completely spontaneous in her actions, even directly using his name when they met, not wanting to call him “Young Master”. Moreover, her spirited eyebrows had never relaxed from beginning to end.

Qingyin wasn’t shy or awkward from being stared at by Yang Chen so intently: “In that case, can the two of us break through this formation together?”

“Exactly.” Yang Chen replied.

Qingyin became vigilant in an instant: “Why do I feel that this is what you intended?”

Yang Chen blinked: “What do you mean, Miss Qingyin?”

“Although you never said it outright, I can feel that all your words were meant to lead me to the conclusion that we could break through this weak spot together.” Qingyin said.

Yang Chen was taken aback.

Well, it turned out that he was really discovered by this woman. But she was being overly sensitive.

Now that he had been exposed, Yang Chen no longer hid his intentions: “Miss Qingyin, you’re right. Indeed, from the beginning, I wanted to use our combined strength to break through this weak spot in the formation. Otherwise, if we each fight separately, neither of us would have a chance to escape from this forbidden area.”

Despite Yang Chen’s frankness, Qingyin didn’t fully believe him.

Qingyin’s expression became serious: “Yang Chen, I thought you were just a simple young man, but I didn’t expect you to be so scheming.”

“…”

Yang Chen rolled his eyes. This woman was too sensitive. He gave a bitter smile: “Miss Qingyin, I just wanted to cooperate with you. I didn’t think there was anything wrong in not saying it outright.”

Qingyin remained vigilant, looking at the weak spot in the formation and slowly said: “I guess there must be a problem with this formation. If we break through this weak spot, it will probably be repaired quickly. When the time comes, you might be able to leave while I’m still trapped. It’s very likely!”

Yang Chen was speechless.

He never expected that Qingyin would actually guess his intentions.

Even though he had never planned to harm Qingyin, she still managed to guess it herself.

Now, with her hands on her hips, Qingyin stared at the great formation and muttered: “If I’m not mistaken, this formation should be called the Four Seas Demon Seeking Array. The formation is distributed in all directions, and as soon as a little crack is opened, it immediately heals. I don’t think you’re ignorant of this.”

“Miss Qingyin, I really didn’t know about this.” Yang Chen replied, utterly surprised.

He couldn’t understand how she could deduce the name to be Four Seas Demon Seeking Array. It was simply unbelievable that she could see right through him, considering she couldn’t be that much older.

“Humph, Yang Chen, do you think I would still believe you?” Qingyin scolded.

Yang Chen could only laugh and cry.

This woman was really too sensitive.

With no other choice, he said: “Alright, Miss Qingyin, you decide what to do next. If we continue to be suspicious of each other, there’s no way we’ll be able to break through this formation. Of course, if Miss Qingyin still thinks this way, just assume that I, Yang Chen, never said anything. Worse comes to worst, we’ll just live out our days here together, perhaps we’ll even grow to love each other in time, hahaha.”

“Humph, you little brat, if it wasn’t for the urgency of the situation, I would kill you now!” Qingyin snapped.

“You’re really no fun at all, this woman.” Yang Chen yawned.

But upon further thought.

Why the hell was he flirting with a nun?

Qingyin stared coldly at Yang Chen, and after a long while she said: “Yang Chen, if we want to cooperate and escape, we can’t be suspicious of each other. Breaking this formation requires both of our efforts.”

“So, Miss Qingyin, have you decided not to be suspicious of me?” Yang Chen asked.

“No, I have a method to prevent us from distrusting each other!” Qingyin snapped.

“What method?” Yang Chen couldn’t help but ask.

Qingyin waved her hand, and immediately a gold plate appeared in her hand.

Yang Chen looked at the gold plate with puzzlement: “Miss Qingyin, what is your intention?”

“This gold plate is called the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate. The gold color you see is just its surface; inside, it is silver. Moreover, the gold and silver colors are the symbols of the plate. Do you see the circles in the plate? There are both gold and silver pearls, which have another name: Main Bead and Secondary Bead!” Qingyin explained.

Yang Chen muttered in confusion: “Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, what is this thing?”

“It’s very simple. If someone drips their essence blood into the gold bead and another person drips theirs into the silver bead, the person who dripped theirs into the silver bead would be unable to do anything that betrays the other—the holder of the silver bead cannot go against the will of the holder of the gold bead. It’s the rule of the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate.” Qingyin said intently.

Yang Chen widened his eyes: “So to put it simply, the one who drips their essence blood into the silver bead becomes a servant? Is this a Master and Servant Spiritual Artifact?”

These Master and Servant Spiritual Artifacts were not uncommon.

Usually, powerful people would use various means to make their servants obey, and the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate was one such method.

Although the name sounded so grand, it was fundamentally a tool for master and servant relations.

It turned out that Qingyin was quite something, wanting to use this method even though she appeared to be harmless.

As she was exposed, Qingyin seemed a little embarrassed, her pretty face flushed red, and then she said: “I didn’t think you’d recognize this thing.”

“Do you want to use this to bind us together so that we can trust each other?” Yang Chen asked.

“Exactly.” Qingyin replied directly.

Yang Chen shrugged: “This is completely unnecessary.”

“I can’t trust you!” Qingyin said vigilantly.

Yang Chen was helpless in his heart. It was often difficult to make someone trustworthy. But it was also normal. People traveled in the Jianghu world, and it was always wise to be cautious. He had entered the forbidden area long before Qingyin, who was a laggard. If someone with ill intentions had entered before her, there would have been many ways to harm Qingyin.

But Yang Chen was different since he had absolutely no intention of harming Qingyin.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen looked at the Gold and Silver Dragon Plate, and asked solemnly: “What if I refuse?”

“If it really doesn’t work, I have a way to leave alone. My master from the Green Lotus Sect gave me a space artifact, but it only works once. This artifact was given to me as a means of escape, and I won’t use it unless it’s absolutely necessary. But if there’s really no other choice, I’ll have to resort to this method.” Qingyin spoke earnestly and meticulously.

Yang Chen slowly said: “Fine then, I guess you can use the artifact to leave.”
