726 Write Down A Festive Chapter At The Dawn (2/2)
”...” Wang Lu was silent for a while, feeling that this answer was not that unexpected.
Especially considering the strange attitude of Xuan Mo when she talked about the relationship between Senior Gem Emperor and that man… As a matter of fact, he should have guessed it through some clues. Only this answer could perfectly explain all the characteristics of Senior Gem Emperor.
Moreover, the name Sun Buping, if chewed carefully, one would find it fascinating.
In just those few words, Wang Lu could already see the below scenario:
He was the leader of the Earth Immortals, the most outstanding cultivator of that era. Although he stayed in the Nine Regions, he possessed strength of an inferior True Immortal. However, this true Earth Immortal never chose to ascend to the world of immortals. Instead, he stayed on the Nine Regions and declared war on a group of Fallen Immortals in order to protect all living beings
This was, of course, a war without a chance. Any one of the opponents was a strong presence that surpassed any power in Nine Regions. The desire to soar to immortality of the hundreds of millions of cultivators in Nine Regions was just the starting point of being a True Immortal. Both sides were fundamentally of different worlds.
But Sun Buping still chose to stand on the side of Nine Regions.
Because of the injustice, he took out his sword to follow his heart. Even though there were thorns everywhere, he bravely went forward.
Senior Gem Emperor found a good companion.
Gently shaking his head, Wang Lu recovered his thoughts and asked, ”Have you inherited his inheritance?”
Senior Gem Emperor snorted, ”Why should I inherit anyone's inheritance? It's just that he entrusted the burden on his shoulders to me before he fell asleep. We were once a couple, so I'll do this one last thing for him. When this matter is over, I will have nothing to do with Sun Buping.”
Wang Lu was momentarily stumped for words. ”...”
”The dead has already gone. Although I was very happy in my time together with Sun Buping, since he's basically gone, I will never be trapped in his shadow.” Senior Gem Emperor said with a smile, ”Speaking of which, shouldn't you give me the answer about marriage?”
Wang Lu suddenly coughed. ”Well, I'm afraid it needs to be considered again.”
”Considered?” Senior Gem Emperor asked, ”Do you think you still have room for deliberation now? After knowing so many secrets, you should already consider it for you own safety, right?”
Wang Lu's heart immediately sank. Was that a naked threat? He thought.
In truth, he had expected that knowing too much would not lead to a good end. However, the secrets mentioned by Senior Gem Emperor just now was something that he could not help but hear.
As a result, it was indeed a self-doomed sin; a moment of gossip; lying on the bed of Earth Immortal… Although Senior Gem Emperor was indeed an amazing figure, Wang Lu also quite agreed with her, and even had a deep impression of her, but he would never marry her!
In a flash, Wang Lu began to think of a way to reject this absurd marriage.
”... Well, it's actually okay with me, but you ought to seriously think it over… you marrying a Yuanying Stage cultivator is too absurd. The disparity between Earth Immortal and Yuanying is even greater than the difference between humans and dogs. If we get married, it would be like ****. I'm afraid even the universe would not allow it.”
Senior Gem Emperor was on the contrary, ”I have seen a lot of examples of the union between cultivators and spiritual beasts. What about ***? Don't you have two spirit dogs on Spirit Sword Mountain? And when you were attracted to the spirit of Grand Cloud Mountain around twenty years ago, did you ever consider the difference between the two of you?”
”F*ck, you've even dug out that kind of private matter?”
Senior Gem Emperor said, ”Xuan Mo and others had always attached great importance on you, and they had made quite in-depth excavation of you. As a result, they hold you in very high regard. I was skeptical about this, but now I do believe that you are not completely a person of Nine Regions.”
”...” Wang Lu's heart thumped. ”I don't belong to Nine Regions? Could it be that you want to send me away to the Western Continent?”
”Western Continent? I'm afraid you're from a place farther away than that…” Senior Gem Emperor then seriously said, ”Everyone has his or her own secret, and I won't delve further into it. I want to believe in you, but I also hope that you can bear my trust.”
”Senior Gem Emperor, you are a good person, but…”
Senior Gem Emperor could not help but laugh, ”Stop it, don't think I don't know the meaning of 'good person'. After waking up, I have observed the current situation in Nine Regions for a long time, so I know about your popular cultural references. Since you don't agree to it, I won't force you. But you better think about it carefully and don't regret it later.”
”... In the future, it would be too late to regret. The meaning of this sentence is indeed rich. In any case, I'll think about it. Now let's get back to the main point. What else do you know about the traitors hiding in the Earth Immortal camp? Let's compare it to what I know and analyze them together to see if we can lock them more clearly.”
Senior Gem Emperor nodded and said, ”At present, there are five people with the highest suspicion: Black, Xuan Mo, Bai Ze, Luo Xue… as well as Bai Xiaoxing.”
Wang Lu frowned. The first three were his old acquaintances. Luo Xue, on the other hand, was proficient in all kinds of arts, and she had won many times in the Grand Competition with crushing victories. But, who in the world was Bai Xiaoxing?
”I borrowed Bai Xiaoxing's magical ability to win your knowledge test.” Senior Gem Emperor lightly explained, ”In terms of the amount of knowledge that one has, he is comparable to your Union of Ten Thousand Immortal's Heavenly Policy.”
”... Comparable to the Heavenly Policy? Indeed worthy of being an Earth Immortal. But how could he stay low-key previously?”
Senior Gem Emperor said, ”That's the reason why I suspect him. But relatively speaking, he is the least likely. At present, the person I suspect the most is still Black.”(Buping in Sun Buping means injustice; grievance; unfairness)
