Chapter 167 The Beginning of the Showdown

Zero was gone. Before leaving, he released Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing.

The rest of us returned to our residence, and Feng Ruoxing asked, "Is our mission over?"

"Protecting Zhao Yuezhu's business is over, but the contest between me and Zero has just begun." I lit a cigarette and said slowly, "Bai Xin is just a pawn in the game between two calculators. If Zero wins, Bai Xin's story will no longer be necessary."

I looked at Zhao Yuezhu, "Little girl, I can finally return you to your father safe and sound. Let's have a good meal together later, and have Feng Ruoxing send you back."

"Sorcerers are also human, and people are always a mix of good and bad. When you go back, don't argue with your father anymore. After all, he's someone who would risk his life to protect you."

Zhao Yuezhu kept her head down and didn't say a word until I started arranging for a meal. Then she stood up, "Li Po, don't bother. I know you still have things to do. When you're done, I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"

"If someone's offering a meal, how could I refuse?" I laughed. "Feng Ruoxing, send her back first."

Feng Ruoxing said, "Zhao Ci is already here. I'll be right back."

Feng Ruoxing returned quickly, "Li Po, what exactly is going on? Explain it to me in detail!"

I said, "Zero led us to the Qian family just to make us fight to the death with the old man Qian. Later, I made a deal with Zero."

Feng Ruoxing said, "How did you make a deal with Zero? You didn't seem to communicate at all. How did you connect with each other?"

I said with a bit of solemnity, "You don't need to explain things clearly when you're dealing with calculators. They're like precise computers, able to calculate the development of the situation at any time."

"When I stood in the position opposite Ye Yang and challenged both families, I was already sending them a signal. That is, I was looking for someone to cooperate with."

"Old man Qian dismissed me, but Zero toasted me from afar. So, I chose to cooperate with Zero."

"Actually, I don't have any ability to exchange things from afar. I threw the dagger down beside me, which was the same as throwing the problem to Zero. Only if she replaced the dagger would we have a chance to trick old man Qian into coming out."

"Zero really did it."

Hearing this, Ye Yang couldn't help but say, "You're really bold."

I said helplessly, "I had no choice but to gamble! Old man Qian was hiding too well. If we didn't provoke him, we would all have died in that courtyard. Since we were going to die anyway, we might as well gamble on a chance of survival."

"The second time I threw out the cloth package, I deliberately didn't let old man Qian see what was inside. As for how Zero wanted to operate, it depended on her ability."

I paused here, "Now it seems that Zero has been plotting the Qian family's calculator secrets all along. The thing she threw out should be a counterfeit of the calculator's secret manual. Old man Qian thought we had really exchanged the real thing."

"Zero perfectly put on a show of snatching the secret manual, and finally tricked old man Qian out."

As I spoke, I pointed to my head, "However, that old man Qian didn't make it easy for me either. The last move of sticking the ghost's face to mine was to tell Zero that he had implanted the contents of the Qian family's secret technique into my brain."

"If I become the successor of the Qiankun Divine Calculation (Qiankun Divine Calculation), I will have an endless feud with Zero. I knew that Zero would not let me go easily, so I made a bet with her. The matter is that simple."

Feng Ruoxing asked suspiciously, "You accepted the calculator's inheritance?"

"Accepted my ass!" I was so angry that I wanted to curse. "That old man just slapped my face, and I didn't get anything. But Zero definitely won't believe it."

"Even if it's just to be on the safe side, she has to attack me."

A bit of solemnity couldn't help but appear on Feng Ruoxing's face - this time we fought against the calculators, we were at a disadvantage from the very beginning. It can be said that it was a fluke that we were able to complete the task.

More importantly, Zero didn't put her main energy on us. It can be said that she only used half of her brain, or even a small part of her brain, to lead us around Wancheng.

If Zero went all out, would we still have a chance to win?

After a brief silence, Ye Yang asked, "According to your statement, old man Qian was also a calculator. Don't you think he died too easily?"

I shook my head, "Old man Qian wasn't. At most, he was just a successor of the calculator. The Qian family's arrangement should have been the work of old man Qian's ancestors."

"In other words, Zero was fighting against the Qian family's ancestors across time and space. Although I didn't see the battle between two generations of calculators spanning a hundred years, Zero's failure to break through the Qian family for a long time is enough to prove the horror of the Qiankun Divine Calculation (Qiankun Divine Calculation)."

"The Qian family's calculator failed to be born, but the Zhang family's younger generation completed their training ahead of schedule. The Qiankun Divine Calculation (Qiankun Divine Calculation) probably didn't foresee this point back then!"

"Old man Qian was struggling to support himself with the arrangements left by his ancestors. In reality, he had already reached the edge of losing patience."

"My fake Displacement Formation (Nuo Yi Zhen) just gave him another blow." I pointed to the button on my chest, "If I wasn't the successor of Guizhenzi, I really wouldn't have been able to deceive him."

Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "You didn't seem to be good at setting up formations before, did you?"
