God of Pets

Chapter 26 Speculation
"Don't you want to admit it? Then let me guess what it is that gives you the confidence to kill the peerless secret spirit." Chen Guan still did not give Wang Lian a chance to speak, and looked at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tree in the pool.

"I remember hearing you say that you were the first to recognize the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit, right? In other words, the others don't actually know whether this is the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit, or at least they can't be absolutely sure." Chen Guan said, looking at Gongsun Zhuo and asking, "Have you seen the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit? Are you sure this is the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit?"

"No, this kind of knowledge is not taught in school, and I have never heard of such a rare and exotic fruit." Gongsun Zhuo shook his head.

Wang Lian opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Guan: "Don't rush to explain, and there's no need to explain. Even if it's really called the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit, its effects are definitely not what you said. It only increases wisdom. You're still too impatient, you want it too much."

"It's really funny to see you talking to yourself there." Wang Lian said contemptuously.

Chen Guan ignored the sarcasm in her tone and continued, "It's not your fault. You don't have many cards to play. The Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit is your only lifeline in this situation. That's why you had to take the risk and want us to pick it for you."

"There's no denying that your family may be powerful, but your position within it is probably awkward. I believe the story you told about your predecessor discovering the Afang Sutra is true. But few in your family believe it, or perhaps few even know about it. Even you, before coming here, were probably only half-believing and half-doubting. But due to your awkward position within the family, you have no choice but to come here and give it a try."

Wang Lian had stopped talking, but her eyes had betrayed her. What Chen Guan said obviously made her a little surprised and suspicious. She even suspected that Chen Guan had known her identity and background for a long time.

"You didn't get the support of your family, otherwise why would you only have such a small preparation? You even had to rely on Qin Ziyu, whom you met by chance. But these are all unstable factors. You can't pin your hopes on such things. Even if you knew Qin Ziyu would come here, you can't be sure that he would be teleported to your vicinity. So even if Qin Ziyu is not here, you must have a way to get what you want here."

Chen Guan took a look at the Water Burial Buddha who was in a crazy battle. In the situation of one against two, the Water Burial Buddha still had the upper hand and beat Qin Ziyu and Yanzhi back step by step.

"But with your strength, it's impossible to defeat the Water Burial Buddha. It's obviously unrealistic to take the Seven Treasures Glazed Fruit as capital to defeat the peerless secret spirit. It's even more impossible to take the things on the Water Burial Buddha as bargaining chips to kill other peerless secret spirits in the future. So your only reliance can come from yourself, something that can allow you to gain benefits from the Water Burial Buddha."

"If I had that kind of thing, would I have ended up like this?" Wang Lian said with a sneer of disdain.

Chen Guan looked at Wang Lian, who was forcing herself to remain calm but was already losing her inner panic, and continued calmly, "Indeed, you've fallen into such a state, yet you haven't used that support. There are only two possibilities. One is that the support is targeted and can't be used on others. Another possibility is that it has a usage limit, perhaps even a single use. You couldn't bear to give up this one chance, so you were reluctant to use it in the beginning. I tend to lean towards the latter."

"I'm about to die, what's the point of keeping it? Do you really think I value it more than my own life and would rather fall into this situation than use it? You may think too highly of me." Wang Lian laughed.

"You can't be that kind of person, so the only possibility left is that it was no longer usable when you wanted to use it." Chen Guan looked at the Miaosha Sword in his hand and continued, "The only thing that can meet these conditions now is this Miaosha Sword. You didn't expect me to have a pet like Rouge Rabbit, nor did you expect me to let go of the Miaosha Sword, so the only thing you rely on is this Miaosha Sword."

Wang Lian has tried her best to control her emotions and expressions, but she still can't hide them completely. There is a strong fear and anxiety in her eyes. She looks at Chen Guan as if she is looking at a devil.

She didn't say anything, but Chen Guan seemed to know everything from her.

"Tell me how to get the thing you rely on, and I can spare your life," Chen Guan said, looking at Wang Lian. He had already studied the Miaosha Sword, but couldn't find the mechanism that could hide the object. He didn't have time to slowly explore, so he wanted to get the answer directly from Wang Lian.

Chen Guan did not doubt his judgment, the thing must be inside the Miaosha Sword.

"You are just talking nonsense, thinking that there is something inside the Miaosha Sword. It doesn't exist at all. How do I know how to get it out?" Wang Lian was not willing to believe Chen Guan's words. Besides, that thing was her only hope. How could she give up her hope so easily?

As Chen Guan said, she took the risk to come here because this was her only chance to change her destiny. She would never give up and let the rest of her life fade into obscurity.

"It seems that your memory is not very good. Although I don't have the bone-breaking hand, my means of torturing people are definitely not worse than Qin Ziyu's." Chen Guan said and walked straight to Wang Lian.

Wang Lian shuddered suddenly, but still kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

But her closed mouth soon opened and let out an inhuman scream.

In the next two minutes, Gongsun Zhuo felt that his three views were shattered. He had never imagined that people could be so cruel.

He used to think that the greatest fear of mankind was death, and killing was the only way to go unpunished.

But it was not until today that he realized that a human being could have so many horrific methods of torture. Compared with the methods used by Chen Guan, death was nothing.

Gongsun Zhuo was just watching from the side, but he felt a chill on his spine, cold sweat broke out, and his fingers were shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Now he finally understood why many people who were clearly wronged were forced to confess under torture.

He used to think that such people were very spineless, believing that they would rather die than allow themselves to be wrongly accused. They would never admit to something they had not done, even if it meant death.

But now Gongsun Zhuo suddenly understood why those people confessed their crimes. That was simply something that no human could bear. If it were him, he might not be able to hold out longer than Wang Lian.

In less than two minutes, Wang Lian broke down and told Chen Guan the answer he wanted to know.
