745 A Monk Wants To Go Against The Heaven (1/2)
Shu Si was stunned by Luo Xiao's invitation.
He wanted him to also be the dog of the Fallen Immortals?
How dare Luo Xiao make such a ridiculous request! Was he nuts? It was one thing to kill Xuan Yinzi and then take him since they had no connection to begin with, but Luo Xiao actually had the face to invite him to be a dog like him?
Shu Si wanted to untie his belt and pee on his face on the spot!
However, soon, Shu Si realized that he shouldn't seem to refuse too decisively.
Because from an objective point of view, he seemed to have no reason to refuse
He grew up in the streets, so he naturally lacked loyalty and a sense of belonging. Selfishness was natural to him. If the Fallen Immortal party could offer a sufficiently high price tag, he had no reason to be unimpressed.
But could the Fallen Immortal party offer a sufficiently high price tag? Of course, they could. Even Luo Xiao, a successor disciple of a Supreme could defect without hesitation. The resources in the hands of the Fallen Immortals were probably beyond what any Nine Regions cultivator could imagine. Thus, shouldn't it be easy for them to buy Shu Si off?
In addition, in line with common sense, Shu Si should be filled with hatred toward the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals; his mentor Xuan Yinzi regarded him as a chess piece and even an abandoned son and sacrificed his life without hesitation. It was thus reasonable that at this time, he should hate Xuan Yinzi and the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals that he represented.
After realizing this, Shu Si dared not show contempt or negative expression, for fear of being seen through. He tried to adjust his expression so that he appeared alert and fearful—exactly what a teenage pawn should show.
Shu Si didn't know what his acting was like—in the past, when he still lived in the streets, everytime he pretended to be dead, he would be seen through, and then he would be beaten up. But now, he was an Immortal Cultivator, so his ability to control his body and mind have greatly enhanced. Perhaps he could really hide it?
No one knows if Shu Shi was lucky or not, but Luo Xiao did not notice Shu Si's fast-changing expression. Luo Xiao said to himself, ”There is only one chance. The Fallen Immortals do not need too many helpers. In their eyes, the death of the cultivators of Nine Regions is good, and one more is a good sight. Right now, they lack the power to recruit a few loyal dogs, but their strength is growing rapidly. How long do you think before they no longer need the loyal dogs?”
As he listened, Shu Si kept thinking about what to do next. Dead Face was probably afraid of being found by Luo Xiao. When Luo Xiao was present, Dead Face refused to come out and speak. Thus he had to rely on himself on everything.
He should not be too eager, because he had no reason for that. Nor could he resist too much; For example, he immediately called Luo Xiao idiot—this would show his spirit, but his life would probably be gone. As for finding a way to fool Luo Xiao… That was even more of a joke. He, Shu Si, was certainly a 'wily old fox', but Luo Xiao was also someone who was not easy to deal with. He could climb all the way from the bottom of Huayan School to the sect of Four Element Supreme; would such a person be easy to fool?
His mind raced rapidly. A sudden inspiration flashed through Shu Si's mind and he had an idea.
He decided to show his natural tendencies.
”... Why me?” Shu Si said and rolled his eyes, showing a bit of a slick attitude. He said, ”I am just a Foundation Establishment nobody, what can I do for the Fallen Immortal?”
Luo Xiao smiled and said, ”The Fallen Immortals don't care whether the people who defect to them are strong or weak, we're all just ants in their eyes anyway. It also doesn't matter if you're smart or loyal, because they have a way to keep you from playing tricks. The reason why I choose you is simply because it's convenient.”
”Convenient?”
Luo Xiao said, ”In any case, anyone else is also the same, so why not you?”
This reason was really powerful. Shu Si was very much unconvinced in his heart, but he could not find a reason to refute it. Thus he kept his silence.
Luo Xiao gradually lost interest and said, ”It seems that you are also a boring person. Since that's the case…”
Seeing that Luo Xiao already lifted up his hand, Shu Si quickly said, ”Yes, I am willing, of course! Let alone being a dog for the Fallen Immortal, I am even willing to be a dog for you!”
”Good.” Luo Xiao nodded and said, ”Alright then, I want you to help me do something.”
”I am listening.”
”Let's work together to get rid of Black.”
”What?” Shu Si was taken aback, ”Why would you want to kill him?”
Luo Xiao smiled and said, ”It's very simple, because he is my boss, and I don't want to have too many bosses. It's enough for me to be the dog for the Fallen Immortal, there's no need for me to have another master.”
Shu Si was even more shocked when he heard this. It turned out that the person behind Luo Xiao was the man in black, which used to be the leader of the Fallen Immortals! However, this was not important. The important thing was… What qualification did he and Luo Xiao have to challenge the Earth Immortal?
”We're all the dogs of the Fallen Immortals, so there should not be too big of a gap between us. Moreover, Black's action is too fast, the 'Mind Disorientation Powder' of the Fallen Immortals would soon erupt in the City of Immortals. We must stop him as soon as possible.”
Shu Si became more and more confused when he heard that. This 'Mind Disorientation Powder' thing, he could barely understand it. A thing that could erupt in the City of Immortals was probably a kind of poison. However, for the Fallen Immortal, wouldn't it be better if all the people in the City of Immortals were poisoned? Why was it necessary to stop it?
”When the cunning rabbit dies, the dog is cooked.”
