A scant few people knew the secret of his blood. In the Garden of Zhou, that Demon General couple and the shaman elder had all died, monsters could not speak human language, and after Nanke told her father, she would also assuredly keep this secret. Yourong would naturally not tell anyone else, so that only left…his master and Senior Yu Ren.
Last night, Xu Yourong had truthfully already warned him, but he was not willing, or perhaps did not dare, to think about it, so he did not respond.
But both he and Xu Yourong were keenly aware that this problem still existed. Just because he didn't respond didn't mean he could turn a blind eye to it.
Today, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had directly torn up the window paper, forcing him to confront this problem and find an answer.
If this really was a trap to assassinate the Demon Lord, then was it really his teacher and Senior Yu Ren that had arranged it?
Chen Changsheng suddenly raised his head and asked the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, ”What was the final result?”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets slightly raised his brows, surprised that this youth could calm down in such a short time.
”I said before, when the Demon Lord returned to Xuelao City, he was already heavily wounded.””
”I am speaking of both sides.”
”The White Emperor also suffered considerable injuries. He will at least require several years to recover, but the Demon Lord's injuries were worse.”
”Based on my knowledge, in Xuelao City, the Demon Commander and Black Robe have always been like fire and water, but it's always been forcefully suppressed by the Demon Lord. With the Demon Lord now heavily injured, doesn't that mean that his grasp over the entire demon realm, especially his suppression of these two individuals, has become weaker?”
”You can say that.”
”Whether it's the Divine Empress, His Holiness, or the Venerable Senior, what most concerns all of you is whether the demons will break the confluence of the north and south, right?”
”Correct.”
”If their internal situation is not stable, presumably, the demons will have little mind to turn to breaking the confluence of the north and south.”
”That's reasonable.”
”The humans and demi-humans will obtain an extremely precious period of integration, and the entire state of affairs of the continent will begin shifting towards us?”
”Yes.”
After this conversation, the garden once more fell quiet.
After a long time had passed, Chen Changsheng declared, ”Then it's enough.”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets arched his brows, asking, ”Enough?”
”Yes, I might have just been bait and nearly died, but if it was in exchange for so many benefits, then…it's enough.”
Chen Changsheng gazed at the Elder of Heavenly Secrets and seriously said.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets looked into his eyes. He saw no falseness, no reluctance, only sincerity.
”Even if you're being used by someone else?”
”Yes, even I'm being used.”
”Are you not angry because of this?” the Elder of Heavenly Secrets asked.
Chen Changsheng thought about this for a moment, then replied, ”Yes, I'm very angry, or perhaps sad. In the future, I will find an opportunity to ask him.”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets understood his meaning and knew that he would not say the name of the planner. ”Every person has their own choice to make, I just hope that you won't regret it.”
Chen Changsheng replied, ”In truth, I've never understood why all of you want to me to choose.”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets thrust his hand into the mist and, through some magic trick, took out a basket of peaches.
These peaches were all plump, pink, fresh and tender, looking extremely captivating.
He took a peach from the basket and offered it to Chen Changsheng, along with a small knife.
Chen Changsheng very naturally took the knife and began to carefully peel the peach.
There was no sound as the peach was peeled and the garden was very quiet. It didn't take long before he had finished peeling the peach and courteously passed it to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
