The sage was determined to die.

Ji Bai did not answer the question directly.

He looked at Ji Ying's masked half-face, his eyes showing no malice, and sighed, "I understand. If I have Wenxin to heal wounds, I'll give it to you."

She couldn't help but remind him, "You already have a literary heart, right? I heard that Chen Ji forcibly tried to integrate a second literary heart, and as a result, he even lost his own."

Ji Ying looked at him with some surprise and said, "Don't compare me to him, it's too cruel for him."

Ji Bai: "...Okay."

The two didn't talk much more. Ji Bai calculated the time when the Wuli Wall would open, and after Ji Ying left, Wang Zhixuan walked to his side.

"What were you talking about with Ji Ying just now?"

Wang Zhixuan broke the silence first. This young man from an extraordinary background clearly didn't trust their cooperative relationship, and said sarcastically, "You're not going to talk about how you'll team up to assassinate me later, are you?"

"No, not at all," Ji Bai commented. "But you seem to have a pretty high opinion of yourself."

Caught off guard, Wang Zhixuan choked on his words and retorted sarcastically, "Who knows what you Qi people are thinking? Don't think I don't know; you're in cahoots with Ji Ying, aren't you?"

Ji Bai shook his head and asked in return, "Aren't you and the other people from Baiyujing also members of the Wang family? Didn't you still get thrown out?"

Wang Zhixuan sneered, his gaze, which should have been looking down at him due to his height, slightly raised as he said disdainfully, "Of course we are different from you."

Ji Bai remained noncommittal and ignored him.

Wang Zhixuan was clearly dissatisfied with his attitude, as if he wanted to prove something, and said with unusual urgency, "Isn't that right? Don't think that just because you handed over some Wenxin, you've lost a lot. If it weren't for our protection, you would have already..."

"Alright."

Ji Bai interrupted his conversation, the temperature in his eyes had already dropped.

"Don't start talking about 'your protection' as soon as you open your mouth," Ji Bai patted his shoulder, his tone flat and indifferent. "The current situation is that without my help, you wouldn't even be able to get a top-grade literary heart, right?"

He paused, then added, "I didn't mean that with my help you would be able to get it."

Wang Zhixuan glared at him fiercely.

He's not stupid; he won't keep arguing with Ji Bai at this point.

Because the wall is about to open.

The entrance to the wall is a huge cave.

Three unfamiliar people were standing there. Although Chen Ji had tried to persuade him, Ji Bai was still a little surprised. He looked at Ji Ying standing to the side and said:

"I didn't expect it really was just the three of us."

He continued, "How did you persuade those brothers from Chu?"

Ji Ying didn't seem surprised by his question and replied, "Chu Ze is used to being a mouse, so of course he won't be the first to dig a hole."

Ji Bai did not nod. Chu Ze had left a deep impression on him. In his mind, the other party was not like this.

"However, I only bought them half an hour," Ji Ying said. "They should be coming to dig the tunnel in half an hour."

Ji Bai nodded, then looked at Wang Zhixuan behind him, his tone less friendly, "Stay close."

Wang Zhixuan wished she could stay as far away from him as possible, and commented, "You really have double standards."

Ji Bai suddenly turned to look at him, "Where did you learn the term 'double standard'?"

"My teacher taught me that."

Wang Zhixuan looked at the cave entrance and suddenly said, "Don't wait any longer, the door is about to open."
