Chapter 1872

Following this line of thought and continuing to diverge, Fei Kexin became increasingly terrified.

She sat up from the bathtub all of a sudden and exclaimed in a panic in a low voice: "Mr. Luo is a six-star martial artist. If he couldn't see any cultivation on Ye Chen, then there are only two possibilities: either Ye Chen has no cultivation at all, or he must be above a six-star martial artist!"

"And if he is above a six-star martial artist, then he might not necessarily be a seven-star martial artist, but there is no upper limit!"

"If Mr. Luo was really killed or controlled by him, then his cultivation, as Master Yuan said, has already reached the Dark Realm!"

"Also! The place for dinner today was also chosen by him. He deliberately chose such a remote place. Could it really be just to let me taste the local specialties?"

"Coincidentally, the surveillance footage around the location he chose was the only one that had problems, and no valuable clues were found!"

"Moreover, throughout the meal, Ye Chen was not with me the whole time. He went out to answer a phone call in the middle! If he is a Dark Realm expert, then the time he spent answering the phone was enough for him to make a move on Mr. Luo!"

Thinking of this, Fei Kexin felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerate by more than double. The intensity of the heartbeat was so great that it even caused her chest cavity a sharp pain!

She knew very well in her heart that if her guess was correct, it proved that everything Ye Chen showed in front of her was just acting, or even deliberately misleading her.

Fei Kexin suddenly panicked.

There was only one possibility for Ye Chen to act in front of her, and that was that he had seen through her, knew her true motive, and therefore wanted to use her own strategy against her.

Fei Kexin also knew that if she were really seen through by Ye Chen, it would prove that her mission to Jin Ling this time had completely failed.

Moreover, not only did her plan to find the Rejuvenation Pill fail, but if Ye Chen knew her true identity, it might even implicate her grandfather's plan to attend the auction normally.

If that were really the case, wouldn't she become a sinner in her grandfather's eyes?!

Thinking of this, Fei Kexin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

What she was most afraid of now was that Ye Chen not only sensed her motive but also discovered her identity as Fei Kexin.

If that were the case, she would be completely powerless to save the situation.

If Ye Chen only sensed her motive but didn't discover her true identity, then there was still a glimmer of hope for this matter.

After all, she and her grandfather had originally planned to use a double-insurance approach. Even if her path was blocked, at least it wouldn't affect her grandfather's normal attendance at the auction.

As long as Ye Chen didn't know her true identity, she wouldn't attend the auction with her grandfather when the time came, and she could isolate the risk.

Thinking of this, she immediately picked up her phone and called her grandfather, Fei Jianzhong. As soon as the call was connected, she hurriedly said: "Grandfather, I am now at risk of having been exposed, so from now on, until the auction ends, I will not contact you again, and you don't need to contact me either. When you come to attend the auction in a few days, bring someone else to accompany you into the venue. I won't attend this time."

Fei Jianzhong asked in horror: "What's going on? Did another sudden situation occur?"

"No." Fei Kexin said truthfully: "I'm afraid I've already been exposed in front of the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill. I now suspect that he is the mastermind behind Mr. Luo's disappearance. If that's the case, I may have already angered him. If he lets him know the relationship between me and you, I'm afraid it will affect your attendance at the auction."

Fei Jianzhong blurted out: "Are you sure? Could that person have the strength of the Dark Realm?!"

Fei Kexin said: "I don't have any direct evidence, but after analyzing it, he is the most likely. So I think it's better to be cautious. In any case, it must not affect your bidding for the Rejuvenation Pill."

Fei Jianzhong thought for a while and said: "Kexin, I think you should come back as soon as possible. Since you are at risk and have the possibility of being exposed, staying in Jin Ling has no practical significance, and it will only increase the risk in vain."

After saying that, Fei Jianzhong added: "You come back first. When the auction comes, I will let Master Yuan accompany me there. At that time, we will go to Jin Ling to attend the auction openly and honestly. Moreover, other people attending the auction will probably bring some martial arts experts as entourage. No matter how powerful he is, he can't make a move on these entourage, right?"

Fei Kexin said: "If the mastermind is really him, he certainly won't make a move on the people attending the auction. That would be equivalent to smashing his own signboard. Why don't you just let Master Yuan accompany you over then."

Fei Jianzhong asked: "And you? When will you come back?"

Fei Kexin pondered for a moment and said: "I'd better not go back yet."

Fei Jianzhong hurriedly asked: "Kexin, what are you still staying there for at this point? It's very dangerous!"

Fei Kexin explained: "Grandfather, based on my understanding of this person over the past few days, he is an extremely low-key person, so he will definitely not appear in person at this auction. It is very likely that the Rejuvenation Pill will be sold for a sky-high price that shocks the world at the auction, but the whole world will still not know who he is. And I finally found him. If I am scared away by him just like this, wouldn't it be a waste of a good opportunity!"

Fei Jianzhong persuaded: "Kexin, the other party has likely seen through you now. What good opportunity can you still have by staying there?"

Fei Kexin said seriously: "Grandfather, he didn't make a move on me, which proves that he doesn't dislike me that much in his heart. Perhaps he just wanted to make me retreat in the face of difficulties through this matter, so I think I won't be in any danger."

Speaking of this, Fei Kexin paused slightly and continued: "I think he is at most dissatisfied with me or has some aversion to me now. As long as I can reduce his dissatisfaction and aversion to me through my own methods in the coming time, then this line of mine will still have a chance."

Immediately after, Fei Kexin said sincerely: "Grandfather, don't worry about me, let me operate it myself!"

Fei Kexin was not trying to be a hero.

She carefully analyzed the many elements involved and reached the conclusion that it was unlikely Ye Chen would make a move on her.

She thought to herself: "If Ye Chen really has the strength of the Dark Realm and really wants my life, then he doesn't need to be so troublesome at all. He could solve the problem once and for all by making a move on me directly."

"But since he didn't do that, and chose to use her own strategy against her, play along with her, and even went to the trouble of taking her to the suburbs for dinner, and even didn't turn against her after solving Mr. Luo, it proves that he really doesn't want to do anything to her!"

"Perhaps, he just wants me to be sensible and leave on my own..."

Thinking of this, a strong desire to win also surged in Fei Kexin's heart unconsciously.

The more Ye Chen wanted her to leave, the less she wanted to leave!

What's more, this was the last opportunity to show herself in front of her grandfather. If she didn't grasp it this time, then her family would definitely have no chance to turn things around in the future!

Therefore, she encouraged herself in her heart: "People say that wealth is sought in danger. This time, I must grasp the opportunity!"
