Chapter 1624: Rubik's Cube Beauty (86)

Yi Yingxue nodded heavily. “I’ll keep an eye on him. Don’t worry. From today onward, I won’t leave his side for even a step. I absolutely won’t let him do anything wrong again.”

She had not noticed Zhai Chenming’s abnormality, but she understood him very well. After all, they had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

Once Zhai Chenming decided on something, he would stubbornly follow that path to the very end.

Anything that stood in his way would be removed by whatever means necessary. Just like in their own world, the rivals of the Zhai Corporation had all been destroyed one by one through his careful schemes.

Xiaofei had been wrong earlier. Zhai Chenming had always been this kind of person.

His clear distinction between gratitude and grudges had always been based on one premise—that there was no conflict of interest.

Back then, his calm and calculating demeanor came from the fact that he stood high above others. With no enemies, there was no need to concern himself with trivial matters.

Now, like her, he was just another person at the bottom of the Rubik’s Cube World. Rising above others here was even harder than in the ordinary world.

Yi Yingxue sighed and helped Zhai Chenming to his feet, leading him back to their room.

It was easy to see how unwilling he was to accept things, but with the mysterious man now under Tang Guo’s control and his hands severed—

That single strike from Tang Guo’s fan had not only cut off his hands but had also crippled most of his strength.

Now, he was no longer even as strong as Yi Yingxue.

And when Yi Yingxue no longer stood by his side, there was not the slightest trace of tenderness left in his gaze when he looked at her.

Yi Yingxue noticed it. Though her heart ached, she said nothing.

After feeding Zhai Chenming a bottle of medicine to heal his wounds and stop the bleeding, she said, “I’ll go buy some more medicine for you. Once the cycle comes around, we’ll go earn Rubik’s Cube Coins. A-Ming, my body has already recovered, and my strength is decent now. Trust me, I can take you out.”

After taking the medicine, Zhai Chenming remained silent and simply closed his eyes, refusing even to look at Yi Yingxue.

Even Xue’er no longer stood by his side.

Everyone in this world had become his enemy.

“Xie Yun, are you all right?” Tang Guo asked.

Xie Yun shook his head and patted his chest, still shaken. “Luckily you came in time. Otherwise, I really might have died.” He forced a bitter smile. If he had died, wouldn’t he have dragged the entire Rubik’s Cube World down with him?

“It’s good that you learned your lesson. Don’t casually expose your back to anyone again.”

“I know.” Xie Yun nodded. All sleepiness had vanished from him. He looked at the dim dagger in Tang Guo’s hand, but since Yin Xiaofei was still present, he said nothing.

Yin Xiaofei stepped forward as well. “Tang Guo, I want to go find my brother and Brother Zhang Le.”

Zhai Chenming’s attempt to kill Xie Yun had shocked her too deeply.

This was no longer the Zhai Chenming she knew. Just because he wanted to leave, he had wanted to kill Xie Yun and Tang Guo merely because they had concealed their identities?

And Zhang Le—

Right, Zhang Le seemed to be the same kind as Tang Guo and Xie Yun.

She wanted to ask him what his true identity was.

It was time to ask. After all, she had to decide whether she wanted to stay here or leave.

After Yin Xiaofei departed, Xie Yun and Tang Guo returned to the room.

Tang Guo took out the now dull and lifeless dagger and placed it on the table.

“Tang Guo, how did you do it?” Xie Yun asked. “Has that guy really been trapped?”

“He entered my Trading City. Does he think he can still leave?” Tang Guo said with a smiling expression. “Everything in Trading City is under my control. With a single thought, I can destroy everything. Who could possibly stop me?”

Xie Yun snapped back to his senses.

That was true.

And yet... somehow, something felt off.
