They all want to change my future.

Chapter 10 Stealing a Person

"At the third quarter of midnight, snow fell on the capital, and a guest descended from the sky, turning the tide."

After reciting the prophecy, Lin Yueyin stared intently at Li Zhi: "You are not from this world, which is why you were able to cultivate to the ninth realm."

"Huh?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then analyzed this so-called prophecy and began to understand Lin Yueyin's thought process.

"That's how you understand it, and it seems to make sense," Li Zhi analyzed. "I'm not a local, so it's interesting that I was able to do it."

Lin Yueyin stared at Li Zhi for a long time, seemingly trying to discern something different.

But she couldn't see anything; it was the same pair of eyes, the same mouth, the same head.

Apart from looking somewhat pleasing to the eye, there's no other difference.

So why?

Why him?

For the first time, Lin Yueyin felt a thought called jealousy.

Within the sect, these were all the thoughts that others had about her.

"Miss Lin, the resentment in your eyes is about to overflow." Li Zhi waved his hand helplessly in front of Lin Yueyin.

The change in light brought Lin Yueyin back to her senses, but no one could tell what she was thinking. Her face was very serious and dark.

He looked very unhappy.

"Miss Lin, you are quite different from Miss Ji."

"Are you referring to appearance?" Lin Yueyin's reply was even colder: "I am indeed inferior to Ji Baizhi. That phoenix is ​​truly a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and the moon hide its face and flowers blush with shame."

"It's not that, it's her personality." Li Zhi shook his head: "Didn't you listen to our long talk? She doesn't treat me like that at all."

Lin Yueyin fell silent. Of course, she had been listening for a long time and naturally understood what Li Zhi wanted to say.

He also understood that Li Zhi was referring to him.

Even the reincarnation of a phoenix acknowledges such talent.

Why are you jealous?

Because they were unwilling to accept it.

Lin Yueyin quickly came to the answer and figured out what she was going to do next.

Then she laughed, a hearty laugh, a unrestrained laugh.

But no laughter came out, and darkness enveloped the room once again.

They were slowly approaching Li Zhi.

"Miss Lin, you really are a bit dim-witted." Li Zhi wasn't flustered at all, and even teased, "You clearly came here to steal someone, yet you've been chatting with me for so long."

The darkness stopped, but it did not disappear.

Lin Yueyin suppressed her smile and looked at Li Zhi: "How did you know?"

"From the beginning," Li Zhi shrugged, "you don't seem like someone who gives up easily, so how could you possibly leave so readily?"

Lin Yueyin frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Then why didn't you tell Ji Baizhi, but instead offered yourself up to her?"

"Of course, it's because I'm sure you'll send me back."

When Li Zhi stated this conclusion, he was very sincere and certain.

She was so certain that Lin Yueyin began to doubt herself, but the next moment, she reaffirmed her belief.

"You're mistaken, I wouldn't do that."

"Really?" Li Zhi said, "Then why did you back down when you faced Miss Ji?"

"That's because that woman is determined to fight to the death." Lin Yueyin said this through gritted teeth.

"No," Li Zhi shook his head. "If I'm not mistaken, it's the phoenix that restrains your darkness."

Lin Yueyin fell silent again, clearly Li Zhi had guessed correctly once more.

The phoenix, a symbol of fire, breaks through darkness and brings light.

Indeed, Cheng Ying was very restrained.

Fight Ji Baizhi face to face, even if she is now a fallen phoenix.

There is still a risk of exposure. It would be better to retreat first, and then find an opportunity to go to their door and take them away quietly. That would be the best strategy.

Li Zhi extended his hand to Lin Yueyin: "Let's do it. Take me out for a stroll. I've never seen the capital before."

Lin Yueyin looked at Li Zhi again: "Are you so sure I'll leave you in the capital?"

"Otherwise," Li Zhi laughed. "I've already said that you and Miss Ji have the same goal. The Demon Queen is in the capital, where else can you go? As for sending me back to the south, if the people behind the scenes are that stupid, then I have nothing more to say."

Lin Yueyin's expression changed instantly.

She didn't know how many times she had lost her composure in front of Li Zhi, but this time was definitely the time when she lost her composure the most.

"Alright, stop standing there." Li Zhi reached out his hand again: "Finish talking to you as soon as possible and come back soon."

"Are you so sure you can convince us?"

"Of course," Li Zhi said confidently. "Miss Ji's method is very sincere, and you will agree with it after hearing it."

"What method?" Lin Yueyin asked instinctively.

She knew from eavesdropping that Li Zhi had used that method to harass Ji Baizhi multiple times.

Yes, it was flirting. To Lin Yueyin at the time, these two people were utterly shameless.

But she couldn't figure out what it was. Just as she had said before, Ji Baizhi was a place that attracted a lot of attention.

Suddenly, there was another person, a man.

How do you explain this?

Ji Baizhi had little power and couldn't keep Li Zhi, let alone protect him.

In Lin Yueyin's opinion, following her into the shadows was the best option.

Ji Baizhi understood this, so she chose to remain silent.

However, Li Zhi, the person involved, objected, which led to the aforementioned incident.

So where does Li Zhi get his confidence now?

Before Lin Yueyin could think, Li Zhi, who was getting impatient, grabbed her hand.

That hand was slightly cool, but very soft.

Caught off guard, Lin Yueyin shuddered and glared at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said helplessly, "If you just stand there like an idiot and wait for Miss Ji to finish packing and come to check, we really won't be able to leave."

That made sense, so Lin Yueyin stopped thinking about it.

Darkness descended instantly.

Like a black tide, it surged in from all directions, instantly swallowing up light, swallowing up sound, swallowing up everything.

In Ji Baizhi's boudoir, Li Zhi and Lin Yueyin had disappeared.

Only a note was left on the table.

That was written by Li Zhi while Lin Yueyin was thinking.

I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back tonight.

As for Li Zhi, he felt himself moving, moving rapidly.

It was as if I had melted into the darkness, dissolved into the shadows, and become a part of the darkness itself.

Until Li Zhi felt the warmth of the sunlight on his face again.

He just opened his eyes.

I found myself standing in an unfamiliar alley.

A narrow cobblestone path leads to a high-walled courtyard, with withered vines climbing the walls.

Before me was a small door, its vermilion paint faded and its door knocker rusted.

Lin Yueyin stood beside him, pulled her hand away from Li Zhi's, and said coldly:

"arrive."

Li Zhi nodded, slowly shook his head to relieve the dizziness he had just felt, and then asked calmly.

"Miss Lin, wouldn't you say your actions constitute adultery?"

In terms of behavior, a woman brought a man out of another woman's boudoir.

If this isn't adultery, what else could it be?

"Stealing someone? What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Yueyin rolled her eyes. "It's the man stealing the woman."

"But I'm a champion of gender equality." As she said this, Li Zhi laughed at herself.

He was laughing quite happily.

Lin Yueyin couldn't laugh, because she understood the overly simplistic concept of gender equality.

Did I really cheat on you?

With that thought in mind, she turned cold, went up to knock on the door, and didn't want to talk to Li Zhi.
