"Okay. Second question, what is your true identity?" Lao Chi's second question was even more sharp.
Zhou Yang was silent.
He was embarrassed. If he hadn't been poisoned, he wouldn't have cared about it. However, the Xiyao Family allowed him to disguise himself, and deliberately found a new identity for him, with the purpose of keeping it secret. If he escaped from the alliance, he would probably end up very miserable.
"Why, you don't even dare to reveal your true identity, and you still want to make friends with me. Are you kidding me?" Lao Chi's face darkened.
"What the hell! Lao Chi, we are all good friends, how can I deliberately conceal my identity!" Zhou Yang smiled bitterly.
His meaning was obvious. He didn't mean to hide it, but he had his own reasons.
"Is there something unspeakable?" Lao Chi's eyes were a little playful.
"Exactly. To tell you the truth, if my identity is exposed, we will have no chance to drink together next time!" Zhou Yang said helplessly.
"So serious?" Hearing this, Lao Chi's expression became serious.
"Unless..." A thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Yang's mind and he muttered.
"Unless what? Don't be so mother-in-law!" Lao Chi was very dissatisfied.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I have been poisoned. If I cannot return within twenty days, I will become a mortal at best, or my life will be at risk at worst!"
Zhou Yang pondered for a long time and finally told the matter. He has been depressed for too long. It would be easier to find someone to talk to. Besides, he has new ideas now.
"Giant poison! What kind of giant poison?" Lao Chi asked in surprise.
"The giant poison administered by the master of the divine realm. I can't tell exactly what the poison is, but the deadline is forty-five days, and now twenty-three days have passed."
"It's just you who is the master of the gods poisoning you?" Lao Chi curled his lips.
"Even I don't believe it, but in fact it is like that." Zhou Yang smiled bitterly.
"Did that old guy poison him?" Lao Chi raised his eyebrows and murmured.
Zhou Yang was stunned and said anxiously: "Do you know who poisoned you?"
"I don't even know your identity, how could I know who poisoned you?" Lao Chi hurriedly defended, knowing that he was lying.
"No, you must know!" Zhou Yang's expression changed. Judging from what Lao Chi muttered to himself, he definitely knew something.
"He is a member of the royal family of the Agni Fire Empire and has a close relationship with the Tea King. He must have a lot of information. If he really knows who poisoned him, he will naturally know his identity, but why does he need to ask about his origins? "
Zhou Yang's mind flashed rapidly, he analyzed it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that this guy should have known his identity for a long time.
In this way, the first two questions are just the opening remarks, and the last question is the key.
If he guessed correctly, what he really wanted to know was the purpose of his visit to Sun City this time. And he deliberately let it slip, probably because he wanted to expose it, because he didn't want to go around in circles with him anymore.
"Please forgive me for what I said before. To be honest, I do know your identity and everything about you!" Lao Chi confessed.
"Why?" Zhou Yang said calmly.
"I can't explain this sentence clearly. I think what you said is unless we can detoxify you, right?" Lao Chi changed the subject.
"Exactly."
"Since it is a poison administered by a god-level master, it naturally has to be detoxified by a god-level master. But with all due respect, your level is too low, and your status in the Xiyao family is not high. I can't guarantee that the empire's A strong person in the divine realm will take action to detoxify you." Lao Chi said bluntly.
"I understand." Zhou Yang nodded.
"With your intelligence, you must be able to guess what we want to know, and we have to see if the information you provide is valuable, so that we can consider detoxifying you." Lao Chi said again.
"Understood." What else could Zhou Yang say besides a wry smile.
"So you can now answer the third question. Of course, you can also choose not to answer."
"I would like to ask if the person who helped me before was a master of the divine realm in your country?" Zhou Yang suddenly asked.
"Exactly."
"Then why didn't he just search for souls?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"You are a talent, and the Empire needs talents like you."
"Understood." Zhou Yang nodded, having made up his mind because he understood the thoughts of Lao Chi and the god-level master.
From this point of view, the actions of the senior leaders of the Agni Fire Empire are much more open and aboveboard than those of the West Key Family, at least that is how they treat talents.
The reason why the god-level expert took action was probably because he saw himself fighting against a golden elixir master alone, or he saw his performance in previous battles. They discovered his value, and perhaps thought it was worth their while to win over him. .
After thinking about this, Zhou Yang felt relieved, and this made him make up his mind.
"I will answer your question now. The purpose of the Xiyao family sending me here is to assassinate the ninth prince of your country, and I also brought an order from the head of the family." Zhou Yang told the truth, but added a sentence .
"Assassinate the Ninth Prince!" Lao Chi was taken aback and asked hurriedly: "What is that metaphorical order?" Despite the surprise, he looked very excited. He did not expect that he would capture the opponent as soon as he took action. This person's city is not very deep.
"I'm sorry, I can only explain it after meeting the masters of the divine realm in your country." Zhou Yang said.
"You!" Lao Chi's expression changed and he became a little angry.
"I'm sorry, this is about my life, so I have to be careful." What Zhou Yang meant was, what if you say it out and you turn your back on him and deny him?
"It's true that we need talents, but we don't need talents with second thoughts!" Lao Chi's face darkened.
"I have no other intention, I just want to protect myself. I might as well tell you now that assassinating the Ninth Prince is only the first step, and the family leader's order is the key point." After Zhou Yang finished speaking, a trace of apology that was not easy to detect flashed in his eyes.
"You are waiting for a price!" Lao Chi's expression softened slightly.
"I don't dare. I don't have that strength in front of the masters of the gods. However, before leaving, the head of the family also took some precautionary measures." Zhou Yang kept his status low, but his words revealed an unyielding meaning.
You can forcibly search for souls, but the head of the West Key Family is not without precautions. He must have a way to deal with it.
Lao Chi naturally heard the implication, which was also his concern. Searching for souls was easy, but it was hard to say whether he could get satisfactory results.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink!" Lao Chi picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The two drank for a while, but the atmosphere was not as lively as before.
As sunset approached, Zhou Yang took his leave. Lao Chi did not try to persuade him to stay, but he promised that he would give him ten altars of royal wine in three days.
