CHAPTER 481: 481: THE THING I PROMISED YOU

So...

That’s why he felt it was safest to hide things there...

When the time comes, even if Gong Chenli searches every corner of Xinyuan, he won’t find that place.

There was a cold look in Gong Chenli’s eyes.

Good! Well done!

They clearly knew that Xia Xi was his weakness!

Yet they desperately attacked!

Leaving no room, forcing him to retaliate until they become enemies.

Gong Chenli dared to say that if they hadn’t targeted Xia Xi back then, he wouldn’t have collaborated with the military.

So, in the end, they have made their own trap!

"Did you hear? What you want is in Xia Xi’s room."

Gong Chenli forcibly suppressed the rage within him and said this to Li Yan.

His emotions were surging, and he could no longer control them!

At this moment, his determination was even stronger, willing to risk his life to protect Xia Xi!

Xia Xi was his treasure, his life; no one could touch her!

"Go investigate!"

Li Yan waved his large hand and issued the command.

As long as they obtained the old map, they could retreat.

This mission would temporarily conclude successfully.

"Yes!"

The trainees received the order.

They were very familiar with the layout of Xinyuan; without Devil King Li Yan pointing it out, they knew exactly where Xia Xi’s room was.

"Wait!"

The two words were transmitted, and Gong Chenli raised his eyelids, his eyes piercingly bright, saying calmly: "I’ll get it!"

After speaking, he lifted his noble leg high and walked towards Xia Xi’s room.

"Earl..."

One deputy was somewhat unsure, calling out cautiously.

Even if Gong Chenli cooperated with the Academy for temporary protection, they were still the enemy.

Giving him the old map...

He was truly uneasy...

"Wait!"

Li Yan casually threw in a word, yet he also shifted his steps to follow behind Gong Chenli.

However, there was no disturbance within his heart.

Perhaps he understood Gong Chenli’s actions.

His care for Xia Xi reached an astounding level.

Xia Xi’s room was synonymous with Xia Xi.

He would absolutely not allow anyone to step inside.

Li Yan followed behind Gong Chenli up to the second floor.

However, he stood at the door of Xia Xi’s room, with no intention of entering.

Who knows how long it took.

The room was filled with the sound of things being turned over.

It was even somewhat noisy.

Li Yan glanced at the clock on the wall, waiting calmly.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Gong Chenli finally came out.

At this moment, his hand held an old, laminated, and protected piece of parchment, with various colored lines drawn on it.

"I fulfilled my promise to you!"

Without any hesitation, Gong Chenli immediately handed over the parchment.

It was more like throwing away a hot potato!

This item was left to him by the old master, yet it’s this very thing that brought him endless misfortune.

"The Academy will provide protection for Xia Xi!"

This was the condition of their exchange, and the basis of Gong Chenli’s compromise.

His defense wasn’t that perfected! He couldn’t perfectly protect Xia Xi.

Moreover, he still had to fight...

So, he could only entrust it to someone...

Many choices were sifted through.

Besides Li Yan and the Academy, there was no more reassuring choice...

It was precisely because of this that Gong Chenli chose to cooperate with Li Yan!

On one hand, to hand over the root cause of the map.

On the other hand, to ensure Xia Xi’s safety!

This made Gong Chenli feel temporarily relieved.

"However, I hope she can be placed together with Gu Tong!"

This was Gong Chenli’s final request, yet it was extremely cunning.

Because he clearly understood the extent of Li Yan’s protection of Gu Tong.

They shared the same thought! Neither would allow the other to be in danger.
