Before Gu Mochen came, he was holding a sense of aggrievance and anger that he had been betrayed, but when he saw Li Xin's cold face, he suddenly felt very discouraged.

Sure enough, Li Xin just nodded lightly in response to Gu Mochen's questioning and said, "Yes, I'm sorry."

The other party simply apologized directly, which made Gu Mochen's anger that had finally condensed again had nowhere to vent. After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Actually... you said you didn't know about it in advance, and I had no evidence."

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't seem to want to have a gap with Li Xin, so before he continued to practice Longtengbian, he finally couldn't help but run to find Li Xin.

In his heart, he actually hoped that Li Xin would be kept in the dark like him. Even if he just lied to him, it would be better than finding out that Li Xin took him to Zhonglin City when he knew that his relatives and friends were in trouble.

He didn't want Li Xin to be a cold-blooded person who only cares about his own affairs and ignores others' lives. Although she always looks cold and icy all year round, Gu Mochen knew that Li Xin was not really cold and ruthless, she just needed such a face to protect herself.

Unfortunately, he was finally confirmed in Li Xin's mouth, which made his mood fall to the bottom.

“Is it necessary?”

Li Xin shook her head and said with a look of the same expression: "If you do it, you will do it. One day you will know that lying to you once is enough. I don't want to lie to you again."

Her words made Gu Mochen feel a lot better. For some reason, he didn't want Li Xin to be the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's feelings, especially... to him.

When Li Xin said that she didn't want to lie to him again, Gu Mochen even felt a sense of joy and encouragement, and a heat flowed through her heart.

Are you accused of being a fool?

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, but another thought made him think about it. After hesitating, he said: "Why, is it just for your alchemy competition?"

Li Xin looked at him quietly and said slowly: "There are reasons for this. If you know that the hunter's stronghold is in trouble, you will definitely not come back with me, but I... can't wait."

"But..." She bit her red lips lightly, looked at Gu Mochen's dim gaze, and added: "The biggest reason is because of Duan Kant's request."

"Brother Duan?"

Gu Mochen was stunned. Thinking of Duan Kant's abnormality at the time, he knew that Li Xin did not lie to him.

"Dun Kangde said that he had already transferred experts from their organization to rescue the scene, but he didn't want you to be discovered by his organization, it is said that this will be bad for you."

Li Xin did not hide it and recounted what Duan Kant said to her that day to Gu Mochen.

"It's a pity that Brother Duan mobilized the masters does not seem to be enough to deal with such a situation."

Gu Mochen smiled bitterly, the anger in his heart had completely extinguished. Now that things have come to this, who will he blame?

Duan Kant wanted to protect him, and Li Xin also had this consideration. Moreover, if he stayed at the hunter's stronghold, he would have lost the opportunity he had now in Zhonglin City.

Without Long Yuan, nor the mental elixirs refined by Li Xin, nor the skills of learning the Luo family's external incarnation, his strength was much weaker at this time.

Staying in the hunter's stronghold means that there is an extra person who resists in vain. Although he may not lose his life because of the help of the Xuanlong God, others may not be able to do so.

Now that he comes to Zhonglin City with Li Xin, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

After reaching an agreement with Mr. Luo, it can be said that in a short period of time, his strength has increased by more than ten times compared to that in Changtian City.

When he came out, he was a super warrior, but now he is a shadow warrior. He obtained Long Yuan to open up the third dantian and two secondary dantians, and also learned the secret art of the Luo family's external incarnation. His strength is no longer the same as before.

Of course, there is also a price, which is a complete break with Luo Bufan.

Having a good strength gave Gu Mochen the confidence to return to save people, rather than going back to die blindly.

This is how things in the world are impermanent.

"What are you planning now?"

Seeing Gu Mochen silent for a long time, Li Xin asked coldly.

It’s not that she is really cold, but that she had known that she had been used to this way of talking.

"I have already divided my clones and go back to inquire about the situation. I will go back by myself if necessary, but now is not the time."

Gu Mochen shook his head. He had no need to keep Li Xin.

"oh?"

Li Xin was a little surprised. Gu Mochen, whom she knew, should have rushed back to Changtian City in a hurry. Unexpectedly, he could still calm down.

"The current situation is that Brother Hai and the others have been arrested by Chen Yan's people, so I can't appear near Changtian City now, as it will bring danger to Brother Hai and the others."

Gu Mochen took a deep breath and calmly explained his analysis. Li Xin nodded.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Yan has always wanted to kill Gu Mochen, and there is even his own reason.

So Chen Yan would definitely use Zhang Anhai and others to force Gu Mochen to surrender. Then there was no news for Gu Mochen, and for Chen Yan, he would not kill Zhang Anhai and the others in one day.

"Then what?"

She thought about it and asked again.

Gu Mochen's idea could only delay for a while, but it was not a long-term solution. After all, Zhang Anhai and the others still had to save them.

"Then, I will go to the Li family's alchemy competition!"

A flash of light flashed in Gu Mochen's eyes and he said firmly.

As soon as this statement came out, Li Xin opened her mouth and understood Gu Mochen's meaning.

"You want to..."

"Your Li family is an alchemy family. I guess the reputation of Lin City is very high, right?"

Gu Mochen asked.

"good."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Every time the Li family will invite people from other aristocratic families to watch. Over time, the Li family's alchemy competition has become a grand event among the big families in Zhonglin City."

"So you want to..."

She didn't say anything, but Gu Mochen nodded and said, "Yes, I want to participate in the alchemy competition with you and make a good appearance in front of the Chen family!"

This is a question Gu Mochen has been thinking about.

Chen Yan caught Zhang Anhai and the other two, so they would definitely use them to threaten Gu Mochen to submit. Gu Mochen appeared in the Li family's alchemy competition at this time, so Chen Yan had two choices.

1. He took Zhang Anhai and the other two from Changtian City to Zhonglin City. Then on the way back, Chen Yan was the lowest in strength. After all, he could not bring the entire Changtian City warrior forces with him, right?

Second, Chen Xian did not come back, but instead warned Gu Mochen with Luo Bufan's mouth, asking him to return to Changtian City to exchange hostages.

In this way, Gu Mochen can delay more time, and Chen Yan knew that he was in Zhonglin City, then he would relax his vigilance in Changtian City. At this time, his clone had already boarded the express train to Changtian City.
