I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 222 He is dead

The game then continued, and the orb of light would randomly stop in front of other people, except for Ji Zhongxuan.

Everyone chose the dare, and no one dared to tell the truth about what they saw in the orb.

Fei Xi wandered around with her master since childhood to seek medical treatment, and learned many secrets of various martial arts sects. Old Luo could tell you all the secrets that happened in the martial arts world in the past. Cui Chou had handled many cases and knew the family affairs of the court officials like the back of his hand. He could also tell you secrets at will. Yu Heng knew quite a lot, including the scheming behind the subtle details of the pleasure quarters. Dongfang Rui knew a little about everything.

The world is full of secrets, but they are also finite. Although the secrets possessed by the people present are different, their circles overlap, and it is inevitable that there will be situations where what you know is also known to me.

Especially Dongfang Rui, who knew a little about the affairs of the imperial court and had also heard about the affairs of the martial arts world. The first point had been rejected, and the secret he had painstakingly come up with was just finished speaking when the light sphere flashed red light intensely again.

The bespectacled man rested his chin on his interlaced fingers, and behind the reflective lenses, his eyes subtly revealed excitement.

"You didn't pass. Try another one. Let me remind you, you only have one chance. I allow you to change your mind and choose truth."

Large beads of sweat rolled down Dongfang Rui's forehead, and he looked around nervously, trying to find someone to help him.

But he also knew that no one could help him with this, and the secrets others could tell him wouldn't get him through.

Just then, his gaze fell on Ji Zhongxuan, who was sitting quietly beside Fei Xi.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he pointed at Ji Zhongxuan and shouted loudly:

"That's not fair! Why does the light orb never choose him?"

"That's right, it's unfair. I'm not lying to you. The Light Sphere bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you were like him, the Light Sphere wouldn't dare to choose you."

"Wha, what do you mean?"

The bespectacled man did not answer, but instead gave a meaningful smile.

It wasn't that no one noticed this; upon hearing the bespectacled man's words, everyone glanced at Ji Zhongxuan but no one said anything.

After all, nobody is a fool, and nobody wants to be used as a pawn.

Seeing that no one stepped forward, Dongfang Rui covered his head with his hands, looking utterly devastated.

"No, no, I can't tell the truth!"

Even if he were to die now, once the secret is spoken, it would no longer be a secret. If his grandmaster were to find out what he had done, he would surely face the pursuit of the entire martial arts world, and in that case, he would still not be able to escape death.

What can we do? What can we do?

"I'll count to three. If you still haven't made a choice, haven't told the truth, or haven't revealed your secret, I will declare you a failure."

Before the bespectacled man could even utter the word "three," Dongfang Rui had already knelt on the ground in terror, his eyes filled with fear, and he shouted in a trembling voice:

"Stop reading! Stop reading! Truth or dare, I choose truth!" The unknown power brought endless fear. Dongfang Rui, terrified that the slightest delay would lead to his annihilation, shouted quickly and loudly:

"I realized that I had accidentally killed Wu Gao, and I had also accidentally killed my grandmaster!"

Those who touched the ball of light instantly understood the true meaning of Dongfang Rui's words.

He must have actually done these things to experience them again after touching the orb of light.

After a moment's thought, Fei Xi unearthed Wu Gao's identity from the depths of her memory.

This person is a descendant of Confucius from the same clan. It is said that Confucius, who was never married, raised him as if he were his own son.

Fei Xi found it increasingly strange. Why would Dongfang Rui want to kill Wu Gao?

The other party is nothing but an incompetent spoiled brat, and there are few truly capable scholars in the vast sea of ​​learning. Even if the Master is angry with Dongfang Rui because of the Three Teachings Gathering, he will at most suppress him for a period of time, and then he will surely reinstate him.

With Dongfang Rui's shrewdness, he would not have been unaware of this, nor would he have been unable to fool even a piece of trash.

Following Dongfang Rui's temperament, Fei Xi reviewed the events that had occurred in Nanxuan City and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Killing Wu Gao and then framing others for the crime is killing two birds with one stone, no, perhaps killing three birds with one stone.

Before long, Fei Xi roughly guessed Dongfang Rui's true motive for killing.

Looking again at the little figure in front of her, who was clutching her head and crying, her expression grew even colder.

The new round of the game will not end because anyone is afraid.

Soon, after rounds of people being selected, it was Dongfang Rui's turn again.

In a panic, Dongfang Rui allowed the ball of light to manipulate his hand and make him touch it.

Half a cup of tea... a whole cup of tea... the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passes in the blink of an eye.

Unlike last time, the ball of light slid off Dongfang Rui's hand and floated back to the bespectacled man's fingertips.

Dongfang Rui sat on the ground, looking utterly lost and silent.

Yu Heng, standing to the side, was secretly puzzled. What exactly had Dongfang Rui seen in the sphere of light this time? He stepped forward and called out to Dongfang Rui, but no matter how he called, Dongfang Rui did not respond. Even when the bespectacled man asked Dongfang Rui to choose "Truth or Dare," he seemed not to hear him.

The bespectacled man began the countdown at a leisurely pace, and Yu Heng hurriedly stepped forward and gave Dongfang Rui a push.

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Rui fell to the ground with the force of his push, as the final countdown "one" rang out...

Without warning, there was only a low, popping sound, like something wet bursting.

A crimson mist of blood sprayed outwards from Dongfang Rui, and the figure that was lying on the ground disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

Yu Heng stared blankly at the dark red bloodstains on the ground, his face still splattered with crimson blood from the blood mist.

He wiped his face, looked down at the blood on his hands, and in an instant, his eyes turned cold. He gritted his teeth and glared at the smiling, bespectacled man, shouting:

"You actually killed him! You dared to kill him? If you have the guts, don't let me leave here alive, or no matter where you run to, I will make you pay the price!"

The bespectacled man shrugged dismissively. Far from being angry at Heng's threats, he said with amusement:

"Why be so angry? Without death, there is no new life. Death is the necessary path to birth. If you all die here today, you might even have to thank me."

After speaking, the bespectacled man stared at Ji Zhongxuan with a half-smile, while Ji Zhongxuan gave him a warning look with a gloomy expression.

The others present were still in shock at Dongfang Rui's death and had not yet recovered, so they did not notice this little incident.

Fei Xi clenched her fists, recalling the feeling when the white light entered her body; it was that white light that killed Dongfang Rui.

No, she has to speed up, or it will be too late!

It wasn't that the people present didn't want to resist; if they could, Yu Heng would be willing to give his life to defeat the hypocrite before him.

However, no matter how strong the killing intent in his heart was, his body could not do as he wished and fight back against the bespectacled man.

Unable to resist, the only option is to continue lying down and playing the game.

After playing several more rounds, when it was Cui Chou's turn to choose truth or dare and reveal the secret, he didn't speak directly. Instead, he suddenly pointed at Ji Zhongxuan and asked Fei Xi:

“Little girl, who exactly is your junior brother? This light sphere is so afraid of him and never chooses him, why doesn’t he take action and destroy the light sphere for us?”

Targeted, Ji Zhongxuan stopped Fei Xi from speaking in her defense, his arrogant face meeting Cui Chou's gaze, his eyes cold:

“I can’t do that.”

"It's not that you can't, but that you can't do it. You and this treacherous little brat..."

The bespectacled man who was called out gave an innocent smile and interjected, "I may look young, but I'm actually older than all of you here. You juniors should be more polite when addressing your seniors. Also, stop trying to destroy my things; the consequences are beyond your control. Enough nonsense, tell me someone else's secret."

Cui Chou took a deep breath. The moment he uttered the words "Listen carefully," his knife moved even faster than his voice.

The extremely sharp blade slashed straight towards where Ji Zhongxuan was.

Faced with this renowned martial arts move, Ji Zhongxuan did not try to withstand it with his bare body. Instead, he dodged the fatal blow with a swift movement.

As soon as Cui Chou made his move, Luo Lao took Fei Xi and the still unconscious Mu Qingfeng out of the battle.

Seeing that the person had dodged, Cui Chou's attack not only did not stop, but became even more ferocious as he attacked Ji Zhongxuan.

Ji Zhongxuan dodged somewhat awkwardly. The bespectacled man, whether wanting to see him make a fool of himself or just wanting to join in the fun, didn't try to stop the two of them like he had done with Yu Heng before.
