Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 94: Just Pretend
Seeing Tang Zheng asking this question with an exaggerated and innocent expression, Ouyang Luoluo and the others not only had no intention of answering his question, but instead all showed a look that said "It's okay, we all understand", which made Tang Zheng even more confused.
"Oh, no... I mean, what do your expressions mean? I really don't know what my identity is. What identity can I have?" Tang Zheng was speechless.
In fact, he had suspected before that someone knew that he was a person favored by both the Sun and the Moon stars, and coveted the power of the stars in his body, so they wanted to assassinate him.
However, on the way back to the academy, he thought about it carefully and felt that this reasoning was not very reliable.
There are many ways to seize the power of the stars, and killing is undoubtedly the most brutal and effective one.
However, you cannot simply kill a Star-Favoured One and you will definitely be able to successfully seize the Star-Favoured One's power.
There are also rules to follow when it comes to killing people in order to seize the power of the stars.
First of all, one must use martial arts personally, or kill the target star-loved one with one's own hands, in order to finally seize the star-loved power from the target.
Indirect methods of killing a Star-Favoured Person, such as poisoning, burning, drowning, etc., cannot take away the Star-Favoured Power from the Star-Favoured Person.
Moreover, when the target Star Favourite dies, the person who kills him cannot go too far away, otherwise he will also fail to seize the Star Favourite.
Just look at the situation where Tang Zheng was almost killed on the cliff today.
First, if Tang Zheng was killed by the boulder, the capture of Xingjuan would fail.
Second, if Tang Zheng was drowned, Xingjuan would also fail to capture him.
Third, even if Tang Zheng was killed by the people on the top of the cliff with martial arts at that time, he would soon fall into the turbulent tributary of the Nulong River and be washed away for a long distance, and Xingjuan would still fail in the end.
No matter how Tang Zheng died, it would be unlikely for those who wanted to kill him to successfully seize the power of the stars from him.
The final conclusion can only be that the person on the top of the cliff simply wanted to take Tang Zheng's life, and was either completely unaware of Tang Zheng's identity as a star-loving person, or had no interest in it at all.
"So, can't you just say it directly? I'm really confused now!" Seeing that the people present still had no intention of speaking clearly, Tang Zheng couldn't help but protest again.
Ouyang Luoluo looked at Tang Zheng's eyes and expression, and couldn't help but laughed with her hands covering her mouth: "Go on, keep acting, you really think the academy doesn't know anything, I went to Wulong Town in person and checked all your identity details thoroughly! But, to be honest, we understand that you don't want to say it because of your identity. The people present here are all senior officials of the academy, and they are very clear about your identity. Don't worry, we won't discriminate against you."
Tang Zheng became even more confused after listening to Ouyang Luoluo's words.
Did they check my identity thoroughly? Did Ouyang Luoluo know that I was a time traveler? But this identity wouldn't make people hate me so much that they would kill me to silence me, right? It had nothing to do with discrimination...
Tang Zheng scratched his head and thought hard about what other identities he had besides the two identities of a star-loved person and a time traveler, both of which seemed unlikely to be discovered at the moment.
Local tycoon?
handsome guy?
Martial arts genius?
…
That's not right. Although these identities are also very enviable, with Tang Zheng's cool performance these days, even if these identities are not engraved on his face, anyone with a discerning can tell them. Is there any need to let others leak them?
After thinking about it, Tang Zheng became completely Spartan. He spread his hands and didn't want to waste any more brain cells.
However, Li Xiaoren looked at Tang Zheng's bewildered expression and couldn't help but frowning, "Come on, you're just a killer from Yingshan, we all know about it, and the people who want to kill you also know about it, so you don't have to pretend anymore, think about how to ensure your own safety next!"
Tang Zheng was confused when he heard Li Xiaoren's impatient words: "What am I? Yingshan's killer?"
Ouyang Luoluo saw Tang Zheng's reaction and deliberately frowned: "I've already told you that I've found out everything about you. There's no point in pretending anymore!"
"You are not from Yingshan, how can you let the seven-star strongman Ghost Grandpa help you? You are not from Yingshan, how can you let Azhi, who is undergoing the trial of the Shadow King, obey you? If you are not from Yingshan, how can you have such rich life and death experiences and withstand the murderous pressure of the seven-star demon tribe strongman?"
Tang Zheng was listening to Ouyang Luoluo's rapid-fire "evidence", each one of which was "conclusive evidence" and "ironclad as a mountain". After listening to it, even he himself felt that if he was not from Yingshan, he would feel guilty!
"Yes, why can't I be Yingshan's person?" Tang Zheng suddenly slapped his thigh, thinking that he had worked so hard to make an identity badge of Liuyun family, and he still had to worry about leaving traces every day. It was not as reasonable and convincing as just saying that he was Yingshan's.
Thinking of this, Tang Zheng suddenly understood. It turned out that his "identity" was exposed!
As a person who came from the notorious and murderous dark killer organization Kageyama, it is very logical that his identity was exposed and his enemies came to seek revenge.
"But why do I still feel a little innocent..." Tang Zheng shook his head in frustration.
"Okay, now you've given up being stubborn, haven't you? It's okay. As long as you, Tang Zheng, don't violate the rules of the academy and don't do anything that goes against the justice of the human race, we won't care about your background and origins. Don't worry about that!" Ouyang Luoluo looked at Tang Zheng's speechless appearance, thinking that he was still worried that his identity would affect his future studies, so she spoke to comfort him.
"Well...if, because of my status, I sometimes have to go out to take jobs, will the academy punish me for this?" Tang Zheng suddenly remembered that he was planning to do some big jobs with Xu Qingyan and earn some Shadow King tokens to pay off his debts, so he quickly took advantage of this opportunity and asked with a "pleading" face.
"This..." Hearing Tang Zheng's question, Ouyang Luoluo looked at Leng Buchen with some embarrassment. They all knew very well what the so-called business of taking .
Leng Buchen pondered for a moment and nodded: "As long as you are in the academy, you can't take any work for the academy and the Feishi military. For the rest, follow your own rules and don't delay your studies. The academy won't punish you for it."
After Leng Buchen finished speaking, he reminded Tang Zheng a few more words, such as to be careful and take good care of his injuries, and then he left with Ouyang Luoluo and the others.
After several senior members of the academy left, Tang Zheng lay down on the bed again, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Although Tang Zheng felt a little ridiculous to be suddenly given the identity of Yingshan, this identity really had both advantages and disadvantages for him.
The good thing is that the academy no longer suspected that he had unknown origins, and all the doubts about him were cleared.
The downside is that it seems that this news has been accidentally leaked, and there is no guarantee that there won't be various people who have deep hatred for Kageyama who will come looking for him in the future to seek revenge.
"The most urgent thing is to quickly find the traitor in the school who wants to kill me. This person clearly knows the location and time where Li Xiaoren will take him for special training, and he also has a very accurate grasp of the method and timing to kill me. It was almost just a little bit, and I would have deleted my account and started over again. This person is extremely dangerous!" Tang Zheng thought with his hands behind his head.
