Unlike Xiao Sheng, Yin-yangzi, and the others, the Wine Daoist could be said to have betrayed the Seventh Wilderness. Although the Wine Daoist had not expressed any intention of joining the Hachibara Senkai, the people of the Seventh Wilderness probably viewed him as a traitor after living in the Seventh Wilderness for so long.
As such, if the Wine Daoist stayed in the Seventh Wilderness, he would most likely die. Therefore, Xiao Chen could not let him stay.
As for Xiao Sheng, Yin-yangzi, and the others, Xiao Chen was not worried because their situation was completely different from the Wine Daoist. He believed that the Seventh Wilderness Will Of The Heavenly Way would not make things difficult for them.
Xiao Chen walked back to his cave. When he returned, he saw Hong Xiu, Ye Xiao, and Yu Shujin.
Luan Luan was naturally the first to rush over when she saw Xiao Chen. She was too clingy to Xiao Chen. As long as she did not see Xiao Chen, she would become restless.
Xiao Chen picked up Luan Luan and walked to the pavilion in the courtyard. Hong Xiu said with some jealousy, "You're such a good daughter. She doesn't listen to anyone and only wants to see you."
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He sat down with Luan Luan in his arms. Luan Luan was clearly satisfied when Xiao Chen hugged her.
They did not ask what Luo Li and Xiao Chen talked about. Hong Xiu and Ye Xiao were not gossipy people. Xiao Chen told Yu Shujin about the evacuation and let him arrange it himself.
Yu Shujin was indeed a good helper. At least with him, Xiao Chen could relax. No matter what happened, he just needed to leave it to Yu Shujin. Xiao Chen did not need to worry at all.
When Yu Shujin heard that they would have to leave in three days, he was stunned at first. However, after Xiao Chen's explanation, he quickly understood the situation and stood up to leave.
After Yu Shujin left, Xiao Chen asked the maidservant by his side about the Wine Daoist's recent situation. After learning that there was nothing special, Xiao Chen decided to have a chat with the Wine Daoist.
In order to leave the Seventh Wilderness, the only troublesome thing was to convince the Wine Taoist. If the Wine Taoist was unwilling, Xiao Chen could not do anything about it. However, if it really came to that, Xiao Chen would probably take the Wine Taoist away by force. He would not leave the Wine Taoist alone to die.
After coaxing Luan Luan to sleep, it was already late at night. Only then did Xiao Chen arrive at Wine Daoist's courtyard.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Chen saw the Wine Daoist drinking alone. According to the maidservant, the Wine Daoist had been drinking all this time. Moreover, Li Qiu would occasionally accompany him for a drink or two.
He did not do anything special. When he saw Xiao Chen walk over, the Wine Daoist smiled and said, "You're back?"
"Yes." When he heard the Wine Daoist's words, Xiao Chen nodded. He then sat down in front of the Wine Daoist and poured himself a cup of wine.
As they drank with the Wine Daoist, they did not talk much. As they chatted, Xiao Chen said calmly.
"The two realms are going to leave the Seventh Wilderness."
He told the Wine Daoist that the two realms were preparing to leave the Seventh Wilderness. When he heard Xiao Chen's words, the Wine Daoist was obviously stunned. He then took a sip of wine and said, "You want me to leave with you?"
As Xiao Chen's master, the Wine Daoist could naturally guess what Xiao Chen was thinking. When he heard the Wine Daoist, Xiao Chen did not intend to hide it. He nodded and admitted it directly.
He came to find the Wine Daoist tonight to persuade him to leave with him. Therefore, Xiao Chen had nothing to hide. Seeing this, the Wine Daoist fell silent.
Just as Xiao Chen thought, the Wine Daoist had gradually gotten used to life in the Seventh Realm. He also felt that the Seventh Realm was not bad. At least, it was completely different from what he had heard before.
However, the Wine Daoist was hesitant to leave the Seventh Wilderness with the Seventh Realm. After all, many things could not be changed so easily.
It could be said that he had been loyal to the Seventh Wilderness for his entire life. Now that he was suddenly asked to leave, he naturally hesitated.
Seeing the Wine Daoist hesitate, Xiao Chen did not say anything. He quietly drank his wine and let the Wine Daoist think by himself.
Xiao Chen believed that the Wine Daoist knew what would happen if he stayed. Of course, this did not rule out the possibility that the Wine Daoist wanted to die to prove his loyalty to the Seventh Wilderness.
However, if the Wine Daoist really had such thoughts, Xiao Chen would definitely not agree. It would depend on the Wine Daoist's choice.
For over an hour, the two of them did not say a word. In the end, the Wine Daoist spoke first.
"If I stay, I'll definitely be executed as a traitor, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Chen nodded.
"If I don't leave, you'll forcefully take me away, right?" The Wine Daoist continued.
"Yes." Xiao Chen continued nodding.
Before coming, Xiao Chen had already made up his mind. If the Wine Daoist was willing to leave with him, that would be the best. However, if the Wine Daoist did not agree, then there was nothing he could do. Even if he had to use force, Xiao Chen would forcefully take the Wine Daoist away.
There was no doubt that Xiao Chen did not have the ability to do so. As the Heir of the Seventh Realm, Xiao Chen could forcefully take the Wine Daoist away with just a word.
Seeing that Xiao Chen had made up his mind to take him away, the Wine Daoist revealed a complicated smile. He took a sip of wine and said, "Will I have a chance to come back in this life?"
No matter what, the Seventh Wilderness was the Wine Daoist's hometown. Now that he was about to leave, the Wine Daoist naturally did not want to leave. Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded without hesitation.
"I will definitely come back."
He would definitely come back, for no other reason than the fact that he had yet to take revenge. Thus, one day, Xiao Chen would definitely return to the Seventh Wilderness.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Wine Daoist took a deep look at Xiao Chen. He knew what Xiao Chen meant. In fact, during his time in the Seventh Realm, the Wine Daoist had also carefully sorted out the entire matter.
He also realized that according to the Seventh Wilderness's Will Of The Heavenly Way, the entire matter was full of loopholes.
The first was the motive. Everyone knew that Xiao Chen loved his four wives very much. They also knew that Xiao Chen was very filial to his parents. Otherwise, he would not have brought his parents with him all the time.
Would such a person kill his own wives and parents? Moreover, what good would it do Xiao Chen to kill them? What would Xiao Chen gain?
He had no motive to kill them at all. Thus, the Wine Daoist's heart was actually starting to lean towards Xiao Chen.
After a moment of silence, the Wine Daoist finally chuckled softly. "Forget it. I'm just a bag of old bones. It doesn't matter where I go. Moreover, I don't seem to have the right to choose."
