Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 455 - 103. Zhixi, Miaomiao face to face (8000 words asking for monthly tickets!)_2
"How is that not right...."
Upon hearing the latter part of Miaomiao's words, Zhixi's expression finally softened a bit.
After a moment, seeing the dazed and naive girl still murmuring to herself, and inadvertently spotting the note in the girl's hand that she had written to Fang Ze, Zhixi broadly believed the girl's identity.
So she slowly began to speak, "You first tell me what you want, please."
Miaomiao, upon hearing this, didn't respond directly but tilted her head and asked another question, "Then, are you Miss Zhixi?"
This time, Zhixi hummed in affirmation.
Seeing this, Miaomiao asked about several details. Once she confirmed she hadn't mistaken the person, she straightforwardly relayed everything Fang Ze had entrusted her with, without leaving anything out.
When Zhixi heard that Fang Ze had quietly established a Devil Sect in Qingshan City using a proxy, and even took control of the entire slum district, aiming to expand toward Miaohua City, she was truly taken aback.
She had always thought she was Fang Ze's first Believer since Fang Ze had only risen to prominence over the past couple of months. To her surprise, Fang Ze had already been quietly laying plans and even established a base in Qingshan City for Lord Devil.
With this in mind, she couldn't help but start to speculate about the real identity of this girl who had arrived even before herself.
Moments later, from the girl's household arrangement and the information revealed in her speech,
Zhixi roughly guessed the girl's identity: a simple girl born in the slums.
At that time, she also remembered some rumors about Fang Ze that she had heard over the past few days within the Security Bureau.
Legend had it, Fang Ze came from the slums of Qingshan City.
From a young age, he was defiant in nature, especially unfriendly to neighbors. He was even more so towards a childhood friend who had always helped him, treating her badly with violence and insults.
Later, despite the childhood friend's efforts to stop him, he joined a dangerous organization, beginning to engage in activities against the Federation and humanity.
It wasn't until he was caught by Bai Zhi that he had an epiphany and finally got on the right track.
It was a real-life "prodigal son returns, more precious than gold" story.
Now, seeing this girl, Zhixi couldn't help but have a guess in her heart: Could this be... Lord Fang Ze's childhood friend?

She's really beautiful.
But looking at this... this frail appearance, does Lord Fang Ze like this type of girl?
Thinking this, Zhixi, who had always been independent and strong-willed, unconsciously furrowed her brows, suddenly feeling a wave of irritation.
This irritation wasn't because she liked Fang Ze, but rather a sense of possessiveness.
She felt that she should be the person Fang Ze trusted the most, or the one he liked the most, not the girl in front of her.
And besides, isn't this girl too naive?
Does she really have no sense of vigilance toward others?
We seem to be... meeting for the first time, right? Yet she says everything! Totally without any concealment!
Zhixi felt that it was unlikely for such a pure girl to exist in this world.
With that thought, Zhixi's eyes narrowed slightly: Could it be, all of this is her disguise?
A girl who grew up in the slums should naturally be cautious and skeptical from a young age, and managing such a large sect, shouldn't be so simple in nature, should she?
Thinking so, Zhixi remained vigilant, and then silently watched Miaomiao "perform."
Half an hour passed like this.
Miaomiao finally finished relaying both what Fang Ze had entrusted her with and her own issues.
After finishing, she smiled purely and then asked, "Zhixi. This is everything Lord Fang Ze told me. If we do as he said, that should be fine, right? Do you have anything to add?"
As Zhixi heard Miaomiao's words, she was about to noncommittally hum in response,
But in the instant before the word "hum" escaped her lips!
She suddenly, instinctively sensed something was wrong!
Because, although Miaomiao hid it well, the moment she mentioned Fang Ze, her body noticeably tensed up, and her eyes no longer looked as pure as before but were filled with intense anticipation.
Even more so, Zhixi sensitively noticed a small detail: before saying that sentence, Miaomiao had taken a very quiet deep breath.
To Zhixi, accustomed to observing people for over a decade, this was an action indicative of "psyching oneself up."
Clearly, the other party was mustering courage to say this sentence.
But why would a simple inquiry require the other party to "muster courage"?
Was there something special in that sentence?
After a moment, a flash of Spiritual Light crossed Zhixi's mind, and she guessed: The other party was actually deceiving her. She didn't even know Messenger's identity was Fang Ze!
So, that's why she needed to muster courage to speak of "Lord Fang Ze's" plan.
Because, she was uncertain in her heart.
And although unclear why the other party did not know Fang Ze's identity, nor why Fang Ze didn't tell his childhood friend his identity,
As a loyal follower of Fang Ze, Zhixi would not go against Fang Ze's wishes. So she spoke expressionlessly, "Miss Miaomiao, are you trying to probe the identity of the Messenger?"
"The Messenger isn't Fang Ze. You've got it wrong."
"Moreover, if the Messenger doesn't wish to reveal his identity, don't try to speculate. It's our organization's rule."
Hearing Zhixi's words, Miaomiao indeed showed a hint of panic, and then she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhixi. I was just... just... too curious about the identity of the Messenger."
