Chapter 912

Xu Chen hummed in acknowledgment and didn't bother with it further:

"While we have time now, let me lift the curse for you.

Then, if you trust me, I will place a force upon your body.

This force can rebound part of the curse's power.

The reason it's only part is because my strength is too low."

"Buzz!"

After saying that, Xu Chen's body stirred slightly.

That aura of Da Di Wu Chong Tian instantly surged out from within his body.

In an instant, Zhao Xinyu understood.

The person who had cast the curse on her must be above the Immortal Emperor realm.

At this moment, she thought of many people.

Including her master.

But none of them were completely confirmed.

She replied to Xu Chen:

"Alright, I don't think you have any reason to deceive me.

At the very least, you could have simply not mentioned this curse business at all."

Although Zhao Xinyu did not know the Curse Emperor Dao,

she understood it very clearly.

With a curse like this, if someone wanted to make a move,

they could do so completely without a sound or trace.

In other words, if Xu Chen wanted to curse her,

there was absolutely no need for him to do these extra things.

Therefore, Xu Chen must genuinely want to help her,

which is why he acted this way.

Thinking of this,

Zhao Xinyu felt a surge of gratitude and warmth within her heart.

As the Saintess, she had very few friends.

She had also been schemed against by her master all along.

Even the Pavilion Master and the Clan Leader had sidelined her.

Now, suddenly encountering someone who was good to her,

if she said she wasn't moved,

that would surely be a lie.

At this moment, her favorable impression of Xu Chen multiplied.

"Thank you!"

She uttered two very soft words.

Yet her voice was full of tenderness.

Anyone who knew her

would know that she had been moved at this moment.

Xu Chen replied lightly:

"No need for thanks. Between friends,

helping each other is only natural."

Hearing this, Zhao Xinyu gently bit her lip.

She murmured inwardly, just... friends?

After Xu Chen finished speaking, his heart remained undisturbed.

He did indeed want to help Zhao Xinyu.

But it was not because he had been moved by her.

Rather, he felt that doing so would make things go more smoothly.

At the very least, by doing this,

Zhao Xinyu would not cause him any more trouble in the future.

After all, any normal person has a bit of gratitude in their heart.

Xu Chen could tell that this Zhao Xinyu had it too.

As expected,

now when Zhao Xinyu spoke to him,

she was much gentler.

Clearly, Xu Chen's goal had been achieved.

This Zhao Xinyu would no longer have any effect on him from here on.

And so, the curse-free Zhao Xinyu left happily.

Just as he had predicted,

Zhao Xinyu's cultivation realm skyrocketed.

Of course, Zhao Xinyu wasn't foolish enough to tell others directly.

Saying that she's awesome again now.

That would be a very foolish move.

She was only silently observing.

Who exactly placed the Curse on her.

Because once the curse is laid again,

through the rebound of power,

she would be able to know.

In the end, she confirmed it was her master.

But she had no way to deal with it.

She could only silently endure.

Once she reached a certain realm,

she would simply cut him down.

After Zhao Xinyu also noticed,

from then on, it was Zhao Xinyu and the Second Personality taking turns to come to Xu Chen.

The resulting situation was,

they came every single day.

Originally, the Second Personality came occasionally.

But after Zhao Xinyu grew to like Xu Chen,

she also came every day, unhappy if she couldn't see Xu Chen.

This situation was soon being discussed in secret by people.

The Second Personality, through others, also learned of it quickly.

She couldn't understand it at all.

She came here to cultivate the Heavenly Secret Imperial Dao.

What was Zhao Xinyu here for.

But the trouble was, the two of them had roughly equal attainments in the Heavenly Secret Imperial Dao.

Neither could divine the other.

She could only try to test Xu Chen.

But Xu Chen was shrewd as could be.

She simply couldn't probe anything out of him.
