Dashing Student-Chapter 1069: Baffling

The words of the Divine Calculator made Chen Nan feel like laughing, but he forcefully held it in.

Chu Jiaojiao also blushed furiously at the remarks, angrily biting her silver teeth.

"You damn fatty, taking advantage of me these days, do you really think I need to rely on you?"

Then she turned to look at Chen Nan, adopting a gentle expression.

Chen Nan felt that if she were to act, she could certainly win first place.

"Jue Mingzi, why are you traveling with this damn fatty? He’s just a waste, what can he help you with?"

"Why don’t the two of us join forces, get rid of the fatty, and then I’ll go along with whatever you decide in the future."

Chu Jiaojiao winked at Chen Nan, looking coquettish and shyly, quite alluring indeed.

Chen Nan, however, completely detested this malicious woman, and his face showed no expression.

"Chu Jiaojiao, stop pretending, I knew you were up to no good from the start, and tricking us here has truly been painstaking."

"We really should thank you, otherwise how could we have gotten so much Soul Destruction Sand?"

Chu Jiaojiao turned her head to look, and indeed found the Soul Destruction Sand on the stone platform was gone, instantly furious.

"That’s mine!"

"You might have the life to take it, but let’s see if you can make it out, I might as well trap you here alive!"

She suddenly took out the symbol iron plate embedded in the array outside, which was currently emitting a faint glow.

Clearly, she intended to escape the underground palace and trap Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator here.

After all, the array could only be activated from the outside, or with the token.

"You witch, don’t you dare leave!"

The Divine Calculator had already given up on Chu Jiaojiao when she had flirted with Chen Nan, and now he cursed unrestrainedly.

Just as Chu Jiaojiao was about to teleport away, a small sword silently appeared, slicing through the dim space with a clear sword light.

In an instant, it pierced through her wrist; after a cry of pain, even the iron plate fell to the ground.

Chen Nan reached out and grasped it, a mana immediately wrapped around the iron plate, retrieving it to his hand.

This was the key to leaving the underground palace.

Chen Nan’s eyes were cold, and as he looked at Chu Jiaojiao, a killing intent arose.

He could tolerate having a woman in the team, but would not tolerate someone intending harm to him.

Chu Jiaojiao finally panicked, her leverage to threaten Chen Nan and the Divine Calculator was gone, and cold sweat dripped from her forehead in anxiety.

Quickly, her eyes flicked, holding her wound in one hand while she looked pitifully at the Divine Calculator.

"Daoist, I was being foolish before, I know I’m wrong now, could you forgive me?"

"We can be just like before, I’ll do anything you want."

She had no intention of pleading with Chen Nan, as she knew he wouldn’t spare her.

Unfortunately, after experiencing this betrayal, the Divine Calculator had also seen through Chu Jiaojiao.

"Hmph, truly a witch, you wanted to harm us and still expect us to forgive you? The Daoist isn’t a generous person!"

"You even kicked me earlier!"

Seeing the Divine Calculator unwilling to spare her too, Chu Jiaojiao’s heart raced in panic as she hastily looked at Chen Nan, her face pale.

"You can’t kill me, I’m from the Chu Family; if you kill me, the Chu Family will ensure you are buried with me!"

Before she finished speaking, Chen Nan flashed before her, looking down at her from above, his killing intent almost tangible.

"Why would Yama Hall’s assassins want you dead?"

He asked word by word, causing a look of panic to momentarily flash across Chu Jiaojiao’s face.

Indeed, there was more to the story!

Chen Nan thought to himself, previously he sensed something was out of place.

Someone like Chu Jiaojiao, a family’s young lady, shouldn’t be able to make Yama Hall’s assassins want her dead.

Knowing that Yama Hall’s assassins are expensive, he was quite suspicious, and after asking, Chu Jiaojiao’s expression indeed changed.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Nan’s gaze was cold, and he sternly asked, "Are you asking me?"

Under the seeming murderous gaze, Chu Jiaojiao suddenly changed, losing her previous panic and fear and instead stood smiling.

"Sure enough, you’re the man Susu cares about."

"Susu?"

Chen Nan frowned deeply, with a dazzling figure suddenly appearing in his mind.

The witch Tu Susu.

"Were you sent by her?"

Chen Nan’s impression of Tu Susu stayed from outside the Ancient Realm Secret Realm.

At that time, she adamantly wanted to protect him, is it because she’s interested in him?

How else could she be so attached?

"Of course not, she doesn’t even know where you are, suffering from lovesickness."

"You really are a heartless man."

Chu Jiaojiao snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Chen Nan.

Chen Nan’s head was full of dark lines, and he coldly said, "I have nothing to do with Tu Susu, being heartless is even more absurd."

"Why did you come looking for me, what exactly is your purpose?"

At this moment, he was feeling very upset, as his identity had been seen through by Chu Jiaojiao.

If someone knows about his past, they’d know that he once used the alias "Jue Mingzi" in Luoxian City.

But to be found through an alias, this kind of intelligence ability is quite terrifying!

Even the old monsters at the Nascent Soul Stage are far inferior in terms of intelligence.

"I just came to see the man my friend is concerned about, you look not bad."

"If you dare to betray Susu in the future, I definitely won’t let you off!"

After saying that, Chu Jiaojiao’s originally smiling figure suddenly collapsed softly to the ground, as if she’d fainted.

Chen Nan hurriedly stepped forward to check, finding Chu Jiaojiao already dead.

"This is the Soul Control Secret Technique."

The Divine Calculator approached, his face serious, and said.

In terms of knowledge, he far surpassed Chen Nan.

"It means first killing someone, then taking over their body and acting; only those with strong Divine Souls can cultivate it. To my knowledge, only one sect practices this secret technique."

"What?" Chen Nan instinctively asked.

"Hehuan Sect."

Hehuan Sect is one of the Three Great Demon Sects, with a bad reputation within the Nine Provinces, because their sect specializes in harvesting and plundering another’s essence for cultivation.

Speaking of Hehuan Sect, it brings to mind scenes of depravity.

"Why would people from Hehuan Sect come looking for me? It’s inexplicable!"

Chen Nan felt somewhat enraged.

The Divine Calculator said lightly, "I’ve heard the Holy Daughter of Hehuan Sect, Yao Li, and the witch of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Tu Susu, are close friends; also, the intelligence organization All-Knowing that spans across the Nine Provinces seems to have mysterious ties with the Hehuan Sect."

Chen Nan sighed, thinking it must have been Yao Li using the Soul Control Secret Technique just now.

From Yao Li’s mouth, Chen Nan barely pieced together one fact.

That is, Tu Susu likes him, to the point of suffering lovesickness.

So as a friend, Yao Li came to find Chen Nan, wanting diligently as a friend.

But Chen Nan always felt that Yao Li’s purpose, just couldn’t be that simple!
