"It doesn't matter if I tell you. Think about who you've offended recently?" Li Zhishi's voice came again.

"Are you talking about Zuo Youren, the young master Zuo?" Chen Xiao looked as if he suddenly understood.

"A promising youth! No wonder you can draw level-four array symbols at such a young age. You really have a bright mind. It's a pity that I absolutely can't let you leave here alive today." Li Zhishi said regretfully.

"Alas, it's all my fault for being young and vigorous. Now, I only ask you, Steward Li, to give me a quick death so that I can report to young master Zuo." Chen Xiao looked desperate and slowly closed his eyes.

"Heh heh, if you don't want to die, I can point you to a way out." Li Zhishi said with a strange laugh.

"Really? Please enlighten me, senior!" Chen Xiao looked surprised, his voice filled with ecstatic joy.

"Become my male concubine, and I can not only guarantee that you won't die, but I can also ensure that you will be free from worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." Li Zhishi said shamelessly.

Chen Xiao felt a wave of nausea, almost vomiting out his overnight meal. He didn't expect this pervert to be into this, but for the sake of his plan, he could only endure it for the time being.

A look of painful contemplation appeared on his face, making him appear hesitant.

"Have you thought about it or not? I'm telling you, it's your blessing that this master is taking you in. Once this opportunity is gone, it will never come again." Li Zhishi urged.

At this moment, Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and the radiance instantly returned to his face. A cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth as he said, "Go be a concubine to your mother, you dream on."

"You... you're courting death!" Li Zhishi said in exasperation, "Ice Arrow, gather!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air above Chen Xiao's head suddenly changed, and a stream of cold air rushed over rapidly. Then, an incomparably sharp ice arrow slowly condensed above Chen Xiao's head. This was also the killing move of this formation. Unlike other illusions, the killing move of the formation could truly injure people.

"Ice Arrow, go!"

The ice arrow, emitting a chilling aura, shot towards Chen Xiao, who also moved in the first instant, running as fast as the wind.

The ice arrow actually had an automatic tracking function, always following behind Chen Xiao, and it looked like it was about to hit Chen Xiao.

"Hmph, still want to run? You overestimate yourself, you'll pay the price for playing tricks on this master, hehehehe..." Li Zhishi's arrogant laughter echoed around Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao dodged left and right, but the distance between the ice arrow and him was getting shorter and shorter.

"Now!"

Chen Xiao shouted loudly and leaped up, but the ice arrow was already close at hand.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp arrow entering flesh rang out, but Chen Xiao was unscathed. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and then he found himself back in the assessment room.

Behind him, Li Zhishi slumped weakly on the ground, a large hole in his chest, with gurgling blood flowing out continuously.

"You, you are... how, how did you... discover me?" Li Zhishi asked intermittently.

"Hmph, how can someone who plays with eagles all year round have their eyes pecked by a small trickster like you?" Chen Xiao was too lazy to explain further. In fact, he had deliberately pretended to be desperate and timid just now to buy time to find Li Zhishi's location.

Chen Xiao's divine sense was extremely powerful, and Li Zhishi's formation was full of flaws. It only took him a while to lock onto the other party's location, and finally, he directly guided the ice arrow to shoot Li Zhishi. After Li Zhishi was seriously injured, the formation instantly shattered.

"Actually, you didn't need to bother with this. Your cultivation is higher than mine, you could have just killed me. Why did you play formation in front of me? Showing off with an axe before Guan Gong, you really don't know how to live or die." Chen Xiao stepped on Li Zhishi's fat face and said mockingly.

Chen Xiao was right. Li Zhishi was at the sixth level of Body Refinement. If they really fought, Chen Xiao would definitely not be his opponent. He could only blame himself for being too arrogant.

"You, you..." Li Zhishi's breath was already weakening, and with Chen Xiao's sarcasm, he died on the spot, without any more breath.

The dignified steward of the Array Symbol Master Guild, the smiling tiger that made people terrified, died in extreme frustration.

Chen Xiao looked at Li Zhishi's corpse with disgust. This kind of person didn't deserve to live, but it was a pity that he had worked so hard for most of the day but failed to get the certification of an Array Symbol Master.

Chen Xiao left the assessment room and returned to the original room, but he didn't see Xiao Liuzi and Wang Ke when he opened the door.

"Clap clap clap!"

Just then, Chen Xiao heard a burst of applause. He turned his head and saw a young man with an arrogant expression standing behind him, clapping his hands.

The person who came was naturally Zuo Youren. He said, "I really didn't expect that even Steward Li couldn't do anything to you."

Chen Xiao's face was gloomy, and he said, "Since you know everything, why don't you go and collect his corpse?"

Zuo Youren said indifferently, "Just a piece of trash, actually dying at his own hands. This kind of idiot deserves to die."

Li Zhishi died under his own Ice Arrow. It was true that he died at his own hands, but Zuo Youren's merciless attitude made Chen Xiao feel a chill. This person was truly inhuman.

Chen Xiao was silent. He didn't want to say another word to this kind of person.

"Hahaha." Zuo Youren laughed loudly, "Why don't you worry about yourself? Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your two friends?"

"It really was you!" Chen Xiao suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What have you done to them?"

"Hahaha, follow me if you want to know!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Youren jumped out of the window. When Chen Xiao saw this, he immediately followed and jumped out.

After landing, Zuo Youren ran wildly all the way, and Chen Xiao followed closely behind. The two ran for a while, and finally, Zuo Youren suddenly stopped in a dead alley, with a sinister smile on his lips, "I didn't expect you to be quite sentimental."

"Stop talking nonsense, where are they?" Chen Xiao asked eagerly.

"Bring them up." Zuo Youren shouted loudly, and then Chen Xiao heard a burst of footsteps behind him.

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw two people with limp bodies being dragged on the ground, still unconscious. Chen Xiao's eyes trembled slightly. These two people, tied up like dumplings, were Xiao Liuzi and Wang Ke. Judging from their condition, they had obviously been drugged.

"Despicable villain!" Chen Xiao's anger had spread to his chest, "Release them immediately, or I guarantee you will regret it."

He would rather be the one tied up than implicate his friends.

This was the first time Chen Xiao had been so angry since his rebirth. Zuo Youren had provoked him time and time again, and now he had even kidnapped his friends. He only felt that he had been too kind before, and that if the tiger didn't show its might, it would be regarded as a sick cat.

"Damn it, you dare to act tough with me when you're about to die! Now that your helpers have been tied up by me, and you're just a piece of trash at the second level of Body Refinement, what if your array symbol skills are strong? I'll still kill you!" Zuo Youren's arrogance was abnormal.
