The Indomitable Master of Elixirs Chapter 714 – The Secrets of a Terminator (Chapter 1)

Chapter 714: The Secrets of a Terminator (1)

Zhan Fei’s body trembled as he spoke. “I know… I know…”

Zhan Fei had never regretted this much. If he had known that Ji Fengyan was this ruthless, even if the Eldest Princess had threatened him with a sword at his throat, he would still not dare to create any trouble for her.

But now…

It was all too late.

“Ji… General Ji, I know my mistake. I am sorry for everything that I have done previously. Don’t believe Situ Ba’s words. I… I did not give him any orders, everything was the Eldest Princess’s commands. I… I also had no choice but to give in to authority.” Zhan Fei’s face was sheet white and his entire body shook like a frightened quail. He had even almost knelt down and kowtowed to seek mercy from Ji Fengyan.

Situ Ba was already dead. If the Green Nightmare Army had not saved even Situ Ba, it was even more impossible for them to save him.

Ji Fengyan smiled as she looked at Zhan Fei, who broke out in cold sweat. She said nothing, but her expression had already made Zhan Fei feel anxious, as if he was worried that Ji Fengyan would slit his throat with one move.

Now, be it the Eldest Princess or a terminator, it was all a joke to her. Zhan Fei had finally realised how frightening Ji Fengyan could be—it was impossible for him to withstand her power.

“It is not impossible for me to let you off,” Ji Fengyan finally spoke.

Upon hearing that, Zhan Fei immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“But what is the point of leaving you alive? I don’t keep any useless person by my side.” Ji Fengyan looked at Zhan Fei with an ambiguous smile.

Zhan Fei immediately responded, “There is a point! Situ Ba is already dead. General Ji had also heard what he said previously. I can vouch for General Ji in front of Your Majesty and tell him that General Situ had unfortunately died in battle and his death had nothing to do with General Ji.”

Ji Fengyan was not in a hurry to reply. The reason she had given Zhan Fei a slim hope was also because of Situ Ba’s death.

If everything that Situ Ba had said was true, then… after his death, the Emperor would definitely dig up the truth. Even if the soldiers from the three armies had not dared to reveal the truth, it was still possible for it to be leaked.

Ji Fengyan did not want to be given a death sentence because of Situ Ba.

“Only this?” Ji Fengyan said at a moderate pace.

Zhan Fei was in cold sweat and gulped as he continued, “Also… the Eldest Princess… The Eldest Princess had intentionally recommended General Ji to the three armies to join the battle. She… She ordered Situ Ba and I to contact each other and find a chance to pull you down. I… I did not know that Your Majesty had ordered Situ Ba to get rid of Yang Shun but as for you, Your Majesty did not plan on killing you.”

To save himself, Zhan Fei revealed everything that he knew in one go.

He was the personal bodyguard to the Eldest Princess and was the only terminator who did not have to join the army. Even among the royal family, he also had a certain level of status. Moreover, the Eldest Princess had always treated him as a close relative, so the secrets that he knew were naturally more than Ji Fengyan and the rest.

When Zhan Fei mentioned Yang Shun, Ji Fengyan’s expression changed. Zhan Fei’s words had indirectly corroborated Yang Shun’s threat previously.

Ji Fengyan’s eyes narrowed and she raised her hands to create a boundary so that Situ Ba, Liu Huo and her were inside, whereas the others were separated.

“What had happened? Why did Yang Shun want to kill Yang Shun? Why would he allow Situ Ba to kill another general?” Ji Fengyan’s voice became colder. She needed to know all the reasons behind it.

What other secrets did a terminator have?
