This was a deadly question.
In an inappropriate place, she had questioned an inappropriate person, showing absolutely no regard for the organization, much less for Zhang Ji.
The others watched at their leisure. Had it been anyone else, they might have offered a few words of mediation.
But the person speaking was Chi Xiao!
Only Chi Xiao would do something like this... Besides, they were not the ones she was targeting. Why would they invite trouble?
Even the powerful Jidu thought the same.
Zhang Ji's expression soured. He had never expected Chi Xiao to show him so little respect after he arrived.
What was she implying with this interrogation?
Was his status worth less than that of an ordinary mercenary?
Heat spread from within Zhang Ji's body, making Chi Xiao feel even more disgusted, even making her want to kill him.
It was as though someone had stolen her power.
Disgust toward others of the same kind? Why doesn't Xu Le show any signs of this? Should I ask him?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Chi Xiao came back to her senses.
"Zhang Ji, I asked you a question. Did you kill that person?"
By this point, Chi Xiao clearly intended to get to the bottom of it.
Zhang Ji said darkly:
"That mercenary was colluding with the Red Moon Holy Temple. I executed him on the spot. That is my duty. There is nothing I won't do for Tianrui Lifeng. What, Chi Xiao? Do you think I did something wrong?"
Hearing Zhang Ji's righteous words only made Chi Xiao feel more disgusted.
How could someone be so shameless? So shameless, and so convinced it was only right?
It was clearly about greed and taking what he wanted, yet he dressed it up as righteousness. Utterly disgusting.
