Chapter 2480: Chapter 2481: No One Can Be Invincible

”Can you vomit out the things you’ve eaten into your stomach?” Bai Ruozhu rolled his eyes. He’d never heard of returning spoils of war; She Zongyi certainly thinks highly of himself.

She Zongyi’s expression remained unchanged, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, and his beard also lifted slightly, ”It’s hard to vomit out things you’ve eaten, but if you get hit in the stomach, you might just puke it out.”

Jiang Yichun threw a sharp glance, ”You might as well try!”

His personality was inherently cold, and he had been tainted by evil energy before. Thus, his words carried a considerable killing intent, instantly suppressing She Zongyi in momentum.

She Zongyi didn’t rush to fight back this time, sighed, and said, ”Do we have to become enemies?”

Bai Ruozhu snorted with a laugh, ”We’re not on the same path as Mr. Shen. Normally, we’d leave each other alone, but your people want our lives. Now you want to take back the things with a few words. Shouldn’t we settle this score with you?”

She Zongyi laughed, ”I see you all speak with reason, I thought you were smart people. But it seems you’re still too young and impulsive.”

”Oh, does Mr. Shen dislike us so much that he wants to get rough now?” Bai Ruozhu snorted with laughter.

”Since you don’t want to return them, let’s rely on our abilities.” She Zongyi’s tone turned colder, carrying some killing intent.

”Okay, relying on abilities.” Bai Ruozhu deliberately said this to observe She Zongyi’s reaction. Sure enough, when She Zongyi heard ”okay,” he showed a look of confusion, as if wondering where that language came from. But because of their opposing identities, he ultimately didn’t ask.

She Zongyi shook his sleeves and said, ”Then, I bid farewell.”

After speaking, without waiting for Bai Ruozhu and others to reply, he left on his own.

Bai Ruozhu watched his back and pressed her lips. This person wanted to probe their limits, but didn’t realize she had probed him instead.

Once he left, Tang Feng and Gao Zhou excitedly ran over. Bai Ruozhu raised her hand to stop them from speaking, and said to Yuan Licheng, ”Xiaoyuan, Yizi, establish a barrier first, so no one can hear our conversation, including...”

She glanced at the main hall. The second prince still hadn’t had his poison completely cured, his hearing was poor, so She Zongyi hadn’t avoided him just now. But Bai Ruozhu was a cautious person, unwilling to overlook any possibility.

”No way!” Bai Ruozhu suddenly thought aloud, ”She Zongyi must know medical skills. He knows the second prince’s hearing hasn’t recovered yet, otherwise he wouldn’t have spoken so recklessly just now.”

Fo Lanying rubbed her temples, feeling tired, and said, ”The thing on him talked to him.”

Bai Ruozhu realized, ”I was stuck in habitual thinking, forgetting he has a portable system. Lan Ying, did you hear anything else?”

Everyone looked at Fo Lanying curiously, except for Tang Feng and Gao Zhou, who were transmigrated; the others were hearing about ”system” for the first time.

”After he knew I could hear, that thing didn’t speak anymore. They said a lot before, but I heard some unclearly, some I couldn’t hear clearly at all. I just heard that thing talking about our ambush location, and it also said you have treasures on you. I was afraid you’d suffer a loss, so I rushed out.” Fo Lanying said.

Bai Ruozhu took a deep breath, ”It’s that powerful.”

”That thing said he couldn’t beat us, said there’s a drug that can increase strength several times, asked if he wanted to use points to exchange.” Fo Lanying continued.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart sank; what kind of damned system is this powerful—it’s overturning the heavens!

Fo Lanying continued, ”But he said it’s too expensive, not worth it.”

”What the hell is this system?” Gao Zhou asked angrily.

Tang Feng raised an eyebrow, ”Clearly, you haven’t read web novels before. I can’t say exactly what it is, but it seems that it can bind a host, and the host can earn points by completing the system’s tasks, then exchange points for various things. His Shushan Sword Technique and Black Pirate Ship are probably exchanged.”

”Something like this exists—aren’t you defying heaven?” Gao Zhou shouted angrily.

Bai Ruozhu quickly tugged on Gao Zhou’s sleeve, signaling him not to get angry, and said, ”No thing or person can be invincible; that thing isn’t him itself. If there’s no points, what can he exchange?”

Tang Feng’s eyes lit up, ”Right, if it’s truly invincible, why would he need to hide his strength? That system must be about doing business for money and earning points, right? Otherwise, why would he become a businessman with his noble lineage?”

Bai Ruozhu felt this was very likely. But when she turned her head, she saw others looking at her and Tang Feng bewilderedly, seemingly not understanding what they were talking about.

”Haha, I read about this in books at the Astrology Tower before.” Bai Ruozhu hastily found an excuse, given how mysterious the Astrology Tower is.

Tang Feng also quickly said, ”I heard about it from her senior brother, thought it was enlightening.”

This explanation made sense, so others didn’t question further, except Jiang Yichun knew they learned these from elsewhere.

Only Bai Ruozhu and Tang Feng knew, and even his father knew, but for twelve years before separating from his father, he knew nothing at all.

This was too unbalanced.

Because of everyone’s surprise, Bai Ruozhu and Gao Zhou were more cautious in their speech, exchanging glances and stopping the conversation.

”What should we do now?” Yuan Licheng asked curiously.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth turned up slightly, ”Didn’t you notice he was calm all along, but when Lan Ying mentioned hearing his system, he got emotional? I think not only because Lan Ying discovered his secret, but also because he highly fears Lan Ying.”

She walked a few steps, ”What do you think is the greatest thing threatening such a person?”

”His treasures being robbed!” Tang Feng said excitedly, rubbing his hands.

”Lan Ying’s divine sense is exceptional, might actually snatch his system, so he considers Lan Ying the biggest threat. Instead of guarding against him, it’d be wise to strike first to prevent being suppressed.” Bai Ruozhu said.

Fo Lanying continued to rub her temples, ”He isn’t easy to deal with; I almost got hurt attacking him just now, and still have a headache.”

Yuan Licheng was immediately nervous, ”Are you okay? Should you rest first?”

Fo Lanying was indeed uncomfortable, nodded, and said, ”Then I’ll rest a bit. Tell me later if there’s anything.”

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly asked Yuan Licheng to escort her back to her room, worried as well. Clearly, Lan Ying is difficult to deal with She Zongyi; snatching the system isn’t so simple.

Then Bai Ruozhu let everyone handle their tasks, pulled Jiang Yichun back to the room to rest, and not long after, Tang Feng and Gao Zhou came to find them.

”That guy isn’t transmigrated!” Tang Feng announced as he entered.
