God of Pets

Chapter 77 Echo Bi

"Think about it carefully. Do you want to follow Ji Nanhong and be a scapegoat, or cooperate with me, board the Xiu family's big ship, and make a name for yourself in the Tianting Army in the future." Xiu Yingmei said with a smile.

"What do you need me to do?" Chen Guan asked hesitantly.

"It is an inevitable trend for the Xiu family to take control of the Heavenly Court Army. No one can stop it. This is also something that the head of the court would like to see happen. You don't need to take the risk of charging into battle. All you need to do is appease Ji Nanhong."

Chen Guan was a little surprised: "You want me to continue to contact Ji Nanhong?"

"Of course, why not? If Commander Ji wants Ji Nanhong to take over the Tianting Army, then Ji Nanhong's marriage must eventually be approved by the commander. As long as you reject Ji Nanhong at that time, she will no longer have any chance. Instead of letting her think about more unrealistic plans day and night, it is better to give her a thought and give her a fatal blow at the last moment to let her face the reality." Xiu Yingmei said lightly.

Chen Guan secretly admired in his heart, "These people who come from wealthy families are really not easy to mess with. This Xiu Yingmei is really too cruel. She wants to directly suppress Ji Nanhong into the dust and give her no chance to turn over. She can't even control the husband she chose. How can the head of the court feel at ease to hand over the command of the Heavenly Court Army to her?"

On second thought, Chen Guan couldn't help but sneer inwardly. "Xiu Yingmei's plan is perfect, but it's based on the assumption that I'm a worthless piece. Xiu Yingmei is confident she can control me to death, or perhaps she simply doesn't think I'll have any impact on the overall situation, just a casual, insignificant move. If Ji Nanhong sees me as a useful pawn, then in Xiu Yingmei's eyes, I'm not even worthy of being on the chessboard. It doesn't matter to her whether I cooperate with her or not."

"If I'm scared by Xiu Yingmei and quit immediately, then Xiu Yingmei's goal will be achieved, and the obstacles will be cleared for Xiu Jieming. If I continue to associate with Ji Nanhong, whether it's voluntary or as a pawn of Xiu Yingmei, the result will be the same. Ji Nanhong will no longer have any other thoughts. Xiu Yingmei may even have some evidence, such as the audio and video recordings she's currently using, which she can show to Ji Nanhong when needed. By then, I won't be able to explain myself. Not only will Ji Nanhong be devastated, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to trust me again. She might even hate me to the core."

"It doesn't matter even if I can't sow discord between Ji Nanhong and me. Xiu Yingmei doesn't believe that Ji Nanhong will truly marry me." Chen Guan's mind raced, and after hesitating for a long time, he said to Xiu Yingmei in a serious tone, "I'm willing to cooperate."

"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. When my Xiu family takes charge of the Heavenly Court Army in the future, you will definitely benefit from it. You will definitely have a place among the younger generation of generals in the Heavenly Court Army." Xiu Yingmei said as she took out an object from her bosom and tossed it to Chen Guan: "Wear this. If Ji Nanhong shows any unusual behavior, you can use it to notify me."

"Okay." Chen Guan took it and took a look. It was an Echo Bi secret treasure pendant, a rare secret treasure of level 10. It could be used to transmit sound over long distances.

Ordinary mobile phones and some communication devices are of little use in the secret realm due to equipment and signal interference issues. This time, the sound wall does not have so many disadvantages.

Although this thing is only a level 10 secret treasure, it is quite expensive and can be compared with some second-awakening secret treasures.

Chen Guan took the Echo Glass and put it around his neck, hiding it inside his leather armor so that no one could see it.

"Chen Guan, stop daydreaming. Do you really think Ji Nanhong likes you? She's just using you..." Xiu Yingmei suddenly changed her previous friendly expression and started to sneer like a vicious female supporting role.

"Xiu Yingmei, who asked you to come here? I told you not to disturb them." Ji Nanhong lifted the door curtain, her face cold and gloomy, and shouted angrily at Xiu Yingmei.

"Nanhong, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm afraid you'll be cheated by this pretty boy..." Xiu Yingmei looked so earnest and sincere that she seemed to deserve a beating.

"Don't make me say it a second time. If you do it again, you'll just leave the team on your own." Ji Nanhong's voice was extremely cold.

"Hmph, I don't care. If anything goes wrong, you can report it to my eldest brother and Commander Ji." Xiu Yingmei said, standing up, twisting her waist, and leaving. She looked even more angry than Ji Nanhong. "Such acting...tsk tsk..." Chen Guan couldn't help but admire Xiu Yingmei's acting skills. She could seamlessly switch between the roles of a shrewd and powerful woman and a brainless and vicious supporting actress.

Ji Nanhong couldn't really kick Xiu Yingmei out of the team, after all, she didn't do anything out of line.

"Xiu Yingmei didn't do anything to you, did she?" Ji Nanhong asked Chen Guan with concern.

Almost at the same time Ji Nanhong spoke, Xiu Yingmei, who had just left the tent, smiled mischievously, "Ji Nanhong cares so much about him, I don't know if it's just a pretense, or if she really has a crush on that pretty boy. I wonder what's so good about that pretty boy."

She had tampered with the Echo Bi that she gave to Chen Guan, but the person who did it was too powerful, so most people couldn't even notice that the Echo Bi had been tampered with, or they couldn't even imagine that such a thing could happen, that someone could actually tamper with the secret treasure.

Even if Chen Guan does not activate the Echo Bar, it can still receive all nearby sounds, which is equivalent to installing a eavesdropper for Chen Guan.

"She just threatened me to leave you, otherwise it would be bad for me and my family..." Xiu Yingmei was very satisfied when she heard Chen Guan's answer. It seemed that Chen Guan might really want to join her, otherwise he would not have hidden it from Ji Nanhong.

Xiu Yingmei would not believe Chen Guan so easily. She continued to eavesdrop while walking towards her tent. On the one hand, she wanted to know whether Chen Guan was really cooperating. On the other hand, she also hoped to hear some useful information from Ji Nanhong.

"Don't worry, I've already had the Heavenly Court Army watching over my uncle and aunt. Unless my father falls, Xiu Yingmei and the Xiu family won't dare touch them." Ji Nanhong paused and said, "As for you, after Secret God gives birth, you must come back with me to the Ji family so that my father can see you. Then you can stay at the Ji family temporarily. After you join the Heavenly Court Army, the Xiu family won't dare to touch you openly. Are you willing to come back with me?"

"Of course, that's perfect." Chen Guan said sincerely.

Ji Nanhong was very happy and chatted with Chen Guan about some things about the Tianting Army and the Ji family.

Chen Guan also responded with interest. It was not until Ji Nanhong left that he carefully took out the echo jade and stared at it carefully.

He didn't know whether a secret treasure like the Echo Bi could be tampered with, but he didn't trust Xiu Yingmei and was always on guard.

However, Chen watched for a long time and didn't see any problems. During this time, he deliberately made some noises and released Zhan Guo.

After Zhan Guo made some noise in the tent, Chen Guan summoned Ming Fei out.

At this moment, Ming Fei looked even more radiant and charming than before. There was a blue lotus mark in the middle of her forehead, which made the already radiant and unparalleled Ming Fei look even more otherworldly like a fairy. This formed a strong contrast with her natural charm, pure yet lustful, and lustful yet pure.

As soon as Ming Fei appeared, she stretched out her fingers and clamped the Echo Glass, then her whole body seemed to be soft and boneless, lying in Chen Guan's arms. Her other slender hand unbuttoned Chen Guan's shirt, slid in like a snake, and gently stroked Chen Guan's chest with her fingers.
