Chapter 179 - I’m Most Afraid of Strangers Suddenly Showing Me Concern (2/2)

“Oh?” Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly. “I only schemed against the South Sea Divine Sect once.”

The third move, “Breaking Her Defense”.

Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, do you remember the Immortal Du Sect? You have a puppet that I arranged to destroy.”

“It was you?”

“It was me. Also, you should have seen the little Daoist Master Xuan Du before.”

“That was you too?”

Li Changshou smiled without saying anything. He shook his horsetail whisk and continued moving forward.

Daoist Wen Jing could not help but follow him. Looking at Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s old face, she asked, “Then why didn’t you let Zhao Gongming and the others kill me?”

“If I want to kill you, why should I ask Zhao Gongming and Fairy Qiong Xiao to do it?” Li Changshou said calmly, “There are a few old dragons in the dragon race. You should know.”

Daoist Wen Jing looked at Li Changshou and suddenly said feebly, “So, from beginning to end, I’ve been schemed by you.”

“You flatter me, Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m not the one who controls the game. I’m just a p.a.w.n.”

Daoist Wen Jing nodded slightly and looked up at the Nine Heavens.

“The Ren School has always been peaceful and quiet. However, when it comes to plotting, no one can compare to you. Tell me, what do you want me to do?”

Li Changshou smiled and did not say a word. He happened to pa.s.s by a restaurant and made an inviting gesture.

Daoist Wen Jing did not understand what was going on. However, Li Changshou had already completely controlled the tempo. She simply nodded and followed behind him. Without alarming any mortals, they went to a private room on the top floor of the restaurant.

The fourth move, “Drink some wine”.

Li Changshou took out his Drunken Immortal wine and said with a smile, “Why don’t we imitate the behavior of mortals today? Let’s get drunk and drown our sorrows in wine.’

Anyway, that incarnation of his was a paper effigy. He was not afraid of anything.

Daoist Wen Jing chuckled and did not reject him.

Soon, the two Night Light Cups were filled to the brim, and they have quickly emptied again. After a while, Daoist Wen Jing’s eyes were a little dazed.

It was probably because she was drunk.

Li Changshou pondered for a long time and finally, he found a sentence that could pierce through the heart of that ruthless person.

“Fellow Daoist, have you ever asked yourself why you are running around and being so busy?”

Daoist Wen Jing stared at the cup in her hand. “You should know why I listen to them.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He really did not know why.

However, that did not stop Li Changshou from continuing his plan.

“Fellow Daoist, have those people who have been using you ever looked at you seriously?”.

Many scenes surfaced in Daoist Wen Jing’s mind. She turned to look out of the window and said calmly, “Why do I need them to open their eyes to look at me? I’m the queen of a race. I can control the Blood Sea. If the two of them did not threaten my people with their lives…”

“Fellow Daoist,” Li Changshou interrupted Daoist Wen Jing and said seriously, “You can deceive others but not yourself. Do you really think so?”

Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly as she looked at Li Changshou. Then, she raised her head and poured a cup of Drunken Immortal wine down her throat. Suddenly, she clenched her fists and gradually released them. She sighed.

“That’s right. Back then, I could actually return to the Blood Sea and leave. However, the Reincarnation Paths and the Netherworld Palace had already been established. I had no place left, so I wanted to use the chance of my clansmen being detained to completely side with the West.

I have never said these words to anyone.

Fellow Daoist, are you satisfied?”

“Since that’s the case, let’s talk about it,” Li Changshou said. “Fellow Daoist, you should know that since Western Sect is using you now, you’re free of worries and can still obtain some benefits.

However if the Western Sect were to prosper, what would happen to you?”

Daoist Wen Jing said in a low voice, “Of course, my soul will be destroyed. When I’m dealt with, I’m afraid no one will know…

However, I can hide in the Chaotic Sea.”

Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with sincerity as he asked softly, “Can you dodge it? Everyone will be done. At that time, the Western Sect will s.h.i.+ne brightly, and do you think you can hide in secret?”

Daoist Wen Jing did not say a word. Instead, she smiled coldly and poured another cup of wine.

“Tell me what you want me to do. What benefits can you give me? If you have a way to protect me from dying under the hands of the Saint, I can join you. That’s all.”

“I don’t want you to do anything, and I can’t use you.” Li Changshou smiled and began his next step. The fifth move, “Painting A Benefit”.

“But I can give you a clear path today.”

Li Changshou dipped his fingers in some wine and wrote two large words on the table.

‘Heavenly Courts’.

Li Changshou asked, “How much do you know about this place, Fellow Daoist?”

“Heh.” Daoist Wen Jing could not help but laugh. Her smile was full of mockery. “Do you think it can protect me?”

Li Changshou smiled and added the word ‘human’ beside the Heavenly Courts.

Daoist Wen Jing retracted her smile and said coldly, “Why do they want me?”

“Everything has Yin and Yang. There are day and night on heavens and earth.” Li Changshou wiped away the words and smiled. “If this place wants to rise in power, it requires both authority and sharpness.

Do you know why the Heavenly Courts are currently lacking legitimate G.o.ds like the Merit Mortal G.o.d and the Plague-scattering G.o.d?

That’s what I mean.”

Li Changshou took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Daoist Wen Jing. He said calmly, “Today, you only need to swear on this Great Dao. When the time is right, listen to my call. I can help you escape the suffering.

At that time, you will only be an executive who will secretly help the heavens. Other than the emperor, you don’t have to follow anyone’s orders.”

Daoist Wen Jing’s gaze was complicated. She grabbed the cloth and slowly opened it.

She looked up at Li Changshou…

Was this oath made by him?

Daoist Wen Jing nodded slowly and said, “I can swear, but you have to promise me one condition.”

Li Changshou said, “Just say it.”

“I want to see Great Daoist Master Xuan Du in the future.”

Li Changshou frowned slightly. For a moment, he did not dare to agree casually. However, a sudden realization appeared in his heart and condensed into a single word.

“Yes.”

Uh, the Saint has been watching? I shouldn’t have said anything just now, right? I’ve been thinking about everything for at least ten times… “Sure.” Li Changshou nodded immediately. “Make an oath.”

Daoist Wen Jing heaved a sigh of relief. She had never thought that she would have to make two complicated Great Dao oaths in a day. Furthermore, the current version was perfect and more comprehensive than before. It had even considered the Heavenly Dao’s interference.

Indeed, she did not fall for nothing.
