The sage was determined to die.

One-on-one, they have no hope.

But is it really impossible for them to win against one opponent?

A scholar from Qi bypassed Yan Ming and said firmly in a low voice, "Gentlemen, no matter which of us obtains the Wenxin, it will bring glory to our Qi. When we go in later, we still need to eliminate that person from another country together."

Unexpectedly, Yan Ming did not participate.

After the people from Chen and Chu left the forest, they hid in a corner to spy on them. Although they did not obtain Wenxin, there were indeed no casualties.

This is one of the reasons why they dared to enter the forest.

No one has died, which means the risk is low.

but--

Yan Ming chuckled to himself. Even Chu Ze and Chen Ji couldn't get Wen Xin, so how could they possibly have a chance?

Yan Ming prayed silently in his heart that since he could not have her, this Wenxin should not belong to the State of Qi.

……

Good things always seem to fail, but bad things always seem to work.

The old woman led them deep into the puppet forest. Ji Bai's task for her was not complicated; she simply had to bring these people to see him.

The mother-in-law scoffed at this crude plan.

Even though she hadn't read any books, she had at least heard some undercover stories like "three years after three years." It would be strange if an undercover agent with such an improper attitude as Ji Bai could succeed.

result--

Having washed his face and restored his original skin tone, Ji Bai took a fruit, knelt down under the tree, and lazily began to gnaw on it.

There were many edible wild fruits scattered around him, piled up in a heap, as if to prove that he had lived there for several days.

Upon seeing Yan Ming and the others, Ji Bai paused slightly, then raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Why did you guys take so long to arrive?"

Yan Ming and the others were shocked by Ji Bai's shamelessness.

Not only are they shameless, but they are also adept at turning the tables.

Such a poor start suggests the infiltration is doomed to fail.

After talking to her mother-in-law, she felt it was time to carry out the second plan. She wanted to find a way to kill a few people to test the effect.

Before she could even make a move, she heard a furious voice.

"How dare you say that!"

Yan Ming unconsciously raised his voice, accusingly saying, "You took our money and then ran away before we paid you! I almost thought you were dead!"

As it turned out, Ji Bai really didn't die, which made Yan Ming even angrier.

"I didn't expect you to care about me so much."

Ji Bai picked at his ear with his little finger, looking completely innocent, and said, "I didn't want to either, but I got lost as soon as I entered the mountain of books!"

"Heh, stop talking nonsense."

Yan Ming reached out to Ji Bai directly: "You're the last remaining candidate, right? Pay back the money, or help us get this Wenxin. Choose one."

Clearly, Yan Ming was more reluctant to let Ji Bai obtain the Wenxin than to let other Qi scholars obtain it.

Although he is now a scholar, Ji Bai, after obtaining Wenxin, will definitely still try to undermine him, which he finds completely unacceptable.

Ji Bai smiled and shook his head, then casually grabbed a few fruits and tossed them towards Yan Ming and the others.

The few people who should have avoided it instinctively caught the fruit because their mouths were dry for several days.

"Young masters, you must have had a hard time finding food these past few days?"

Ji Bai raised an eyebrow and looked at the group of people who looked disheveled. Compared to Chu Ze and Chen Ji, Yan Ming and the others were clearly in a much worse state. They were truly covered in dirt and grime, with mud in their hair.

"You're going to try and fob us off with this?" Yan Ming said through gritted teeth, clutching the fruit tightly.

"You don't have to," Ji Bai said indifferently. "It just gives me an excuse to renege on my debt."

They underestimated the shamelessness of those few: "..."
