God Emperor

Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not remove his mask. ”Let ’s just exchange for one Holy Stone first, since you don ’t trust us. Tomorrow we will come with enough Spiritual Crystals to exchange for the remaining two Holy Stones. ”

A gleam of disappointment appeared in Duanmu Ya ’s eyes.

Duanmu Ya did not intend to force it further. She knew what Zhang Ruochen was capable of, and she did not want to provoke him to anger and make an enemy of him.

Mu Lingxi was not as cautious. She walked up to Zhang Ruochen and said, ”When will you stop pretending, Zhang Ruochen? Why are you fearful of showing your true self to me since you are still alive? Don ’t you trust me? ”

”Zhang Ruochen? ”

Zhang Ruochen maintained his calmness. The ends of his lips curled up as he said, ”Your Highness, I am afraid you have mistaken me for another person. ”

”Swosh! ”

From 50 feet away, Zhang Ruochen stretched out one of his hands, curled his fingers into a claw, and directed one of the Holy Stones from the bronze salver into his sleeve.

He then turned to leave Wuwang Inn.

”Don ’t go, Zhang Ruochen… ”

Mu Lingxi speedily made a move to try to catch up with him.

However, she quickly lost sight of Zhang Ruochen the moment she was out of Wuwang Inn.

When Duanmu Ya caught up with Mu Lingxi, she said anxiously, ”Lingxi, from the back, this man does look like Zhang Ruochen. However, it may not be him after all. A man cannot come back to life once he dies. Why don ’t you just let it go? ”

Mu Lingxi bit her lip as she started to tear up. She could feel her heart breaking in two and tears ran down her cheeks as she said with a lovesick tone, ”Why, aunt? He was just standing before of me, but why didn ’t he remove his mask? Why doesn ’t he trust me? ”
