Late at night, Long River Sect!
"You're not willing to be Xiao Fan's maid?" Zhao Zhiping asked indifferently as he looked at Zhao Lingyan, who was silently protesting.
"Yes!" Zhao Lingyan lowered her head and said.
"But do you understand why the other sect masters and I are so polite to Xiao Fan? Why don't we have the slightest intention of robbing him? "Zhao Zhiping did not immediately reply to Zhao Lingyan's answer. Instead, he changed the topic and asked.
"I don't know!" Zhao Lingyan seemed to still have some resentment in her heart. She did not want to say anything more and kept her head lowered as she replied in a very low voice.
"Although Xiao Fan has a little girl with unknown strength as a guard, it's nothing to the great sects of the Great Western Prefecture!" Zhao Zhiping directly opened his mouth and said to himself, "If we really want to snatch it by force, we can completely control Xiao Fan's heart and then take whatever we want."
"However, not only did we not do that, but we were also very polite to Xiao Fan. We even sent the few of you to Xiao Fan's side with lowly identities to be ordered by him. The reason is that we understand the importance of this Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill too well!"
Hearing her father's patient explanation, Zhao Lingyan slowly raised her head and looked at Zhao Zhiping.
"Its importance is beyond your imagination, and beyond anyone's imagination!" Zhao Zhiping sighed softly and shook his head. Then, he continued, "For the time being, we can still control the news of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill within the Great Western Prefecture and prevent it from being leaked out. However, the truth cannot be concealed. Sooner or later, the news of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill will spread throughout the Spirit Realm!"
"At that time, there will be countless people and forces eyeing the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill and Xiao Fan. The various sects of the Great Western Prefecture will be like a small boat in the middle of the ocean. As long as we want to devour the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill and Xiao Fan, we will be besieged by countless people and forces at any time, and there is a possibility that we will be destroyed in an instant!"
Listening to her father's analysis, Zhao Lingyan seemed to understand at once. She also vaguely understood why she and the others were going to be Xiao Fan's maids and carriage drivers. Unconsciously, she slowly straightened her body.
"Because the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill is extremely important, the overlords of the Spirit Realm who know about it will definitely set their sights on Xiao Fan. At that time, Xiao Fan will almost certainly become an esteemed guest of the overlords of the Spirit Realm!" Zhao Zhiping said in a serious tone, "Therefore, as long as Xiao Fan has the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill, it's equivalent to having an immortal gold medal. No one would dare to touch him. If we establish a good relationship with Xiao Fan now, it would only be beneficial!"
"Moreover, we are now Xiao Fan's maids and carriage drivers, but once Xiao Fan becomes an esteemed guest of the overlords and joins them, we, as his followers, can also join them!" Zhao Lingyan seemed to have a flash of inspiration. Then, she blurted out after Zhao Zhiping's words, "Your true goal is actually here!"
"That's right!" Seeing that Zhao Lingyan had reacted, Zhao Zhiping immediately revealed a smile on his face. He nodded and admitted, "I don't need to say how difficult it is to join the overlords of the Spirit Realm. Now that you have a great opportunity to join Xiao Fan, how can you miss such an opportunity?"
Hearing Zhao Zhiping's words, Zhao Lingyan's eyes suddenly lit up. Even her breathing became a little hurried.
There was no need to say how powerful the Spirit Realm overlords like the Heavenly Sword Mountain and the Northern Heavens Sacred Ground were. If there was a chance to join them, who wouldn't want to?
Now that such a great opportunity was in front of Zhao Lingyan, Zhao Lingyan couldn't help but be moved.
However!
"Father, although what you said is right, I feel that it is wrong to scheme against Xiao Fan like this!" Suddenly, Zhao Lingyan's eyes dimmed again. Then, she said in a low voice, "We shouldn't do this …!"
"You are too soft-hearted!" Without waiting for Zhao Lingyan to finish her words, Zhao Zhiping directly interrupted her. Then, he said indifferently, "Cultivators fight against the heavens and fight against people. What is a mere scheme?"
"Furthermore, did we harm Xiao Fan? No, we're just borrowing his power. What's a small matter like this? "
"But I still feel that it is wrong. If I can join the Heavenly Sword Mountain and the Northern Heavens Sacred Ground, I hope that I can rely on my own efforts and not scheme against others!" Zhao Lingyan's eyes revealed a rare look of determination as she spoke.
"You have to agree to this matter whether you agree or not. You don't have a choice!" Facing Zhao Lingyan's determination, Zhao Zhiping said indifferently and casually.
Hearing Zhao Zhiping's words, Zhao Lingyan instantly lowered her head. She didn't speak anymore. Her expression was dim. She didn't dare to oppose her father.
However!
"Father, I think that your real goal isn't just to let us join the Heavenly Sword Mountain and the Northern Heavens Sacred Ground through Xiao Fan. You also want us to think of a way to steal Xiao Fan's pill refining method, right?" Zhao Lingyan raised her head again, looked at Zhao Zhiping, and said.
"That's right. This is the second goal. We indeed want to use you to obtain Xiao Fan's Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill refining method!" Facing Zhao Lingyan's question, Zhao Zhiping didn't deny it and directly admitted it.
"Then why don't you just directly capture Xiao Fan? Why do you have to use such a shameful method?" Zhao Lingyan seemed to hate this method of doing things. She opened her mouth and spoke with a trace of questioning in her voice.
"You are right. We can indeed capture Xiao Fan now and force him to tell us the pill formula of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill. From there, we can grasp the true refining method of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill!" Zhao Zhiping said calmly, "However, this method might succeed, but it might also fail!"
"If it fails and Xiao Fan dies, then when the news of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill spreads, we will definitely be destroyed by countless angry people!"
"The risk is too great, and the losses outweigh the gains!"
"Therefore, this method can't be used. We can only obtain it through you guys!"
"You guys are really standard selfish people!" Zhao Lingyan looked at her father, Zhao Zhiping, with anger and disgust, but also understanding. Her expression was very complicated as she spoke.
"Every man for himself, and the devil takes the hindmost!" Zhao Zhiping said calmly.
"However, father, don't forget that Xiao Fan looked down on the Heavenly Sword Mountain. He even destroyed the City Governor's Mansion in the Hundred Yan City. He has already become enemies with the Heavenly Sword Mountain!" Zhao Lingyan said with a cold smile, "Aren't you afraid that you guys will send us to Xiao Fan's side, and cause the Heavenly Sword Mountain to kill us?"
"My daughter, you're still too short-sighted!" Zhao Zhiping said with a calm smile, "Don't forget which side the Great Western Prefecture belongs to?"
"We are the vassals of the Northern Heavens Sacred Land. Not to mention that the Heavenly Sword Mountain might not do anything to Xiao Fan, even if they do, they have to look at the owner before beating a dog. Do you think they can kill us just because they want to kill us?"
"We are indeed afraid of the Heavenly Sword Mountain. However, if the Heavenly Sword Mountain dares to kill us, it will be a challenge to the dignity of the Northern Heavens Sacred Land. As long as they don't want to start a war with the Northern Heavens Sacred Land, they will definitely not do anything to us."
"Therefore, we can send you guys to Xiao Fan without any fear. Firstly, it will pave the way for you guys, and secondly, it will be for the refining method of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill. There are many benefits, but there are no disadvantages!"
"If we don't do such a good thing, then we're really stupid!"
Hearing her father, Zhao Zhiping's reply, Zhao Lingyan was speechless and couldn't say anything.
Her father, Zhao Zhiping, and the other Sect Masters were indeed people who ruled over the four directions. Every time they did something, they would consider the reasons from all sides. Their plans could be said to be watertight, and no one could say anything about it.
"However, father, although you and the other Sect Masters have calculated everything, and it can be said to be foolproof, you guys still missed out on one thing!" Zhao Lingyan opened her mouth and said with a cold smile, "You guys missed out on Xiao Fan himself!"
"Facing the attack of the future Heavenly Sword Mountain and Northern Heavens Sacred Land, what if Xiao Fan unexpectedly refused to join them, and even became enemies with them?"
"At that time, everything that you guys have calculated now will be in vain!"
"You don't have to worry about this, my daughter!" Hearing Zhao Lingyan's cold smile, not only did Zhao Zhiping not get angry, he laughed instead, "Do you think that we didn't consider this point? Otherwise, why do you think we asked you guys to think of a way to obtain the refining method of Xiao Fan's Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill? "
"On one hand, it's for our own benefit, because if the refining method of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill is in our hands, it's naturally the best thing that can happen. On the other hand, it's to prevent such a possibility from happening. Because even if Xiao Fan refuses, as long as we obtain the refining method of the Soul Replenishing Heavenly Pill, not only will we not be at fault in the eyes of the Northern Heavens Sacred Land, but we'll also be meritorious!"
"Everything is within our calculations. No matter what happens in the future, we'll be in an invincible position, as stable as Mount Tai!"
Facing her father, Zhao Zhiping, who was laughing, Zhao Lingyan was finally completely speechless. Her expression was silent, but she could still faintly feel that something was missing.
After thinking for a moment, she seemed to have finally remembered what was missing, and an extremely horrifying expression appeared on her face. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out in the end.
Yes, everything was indeed as her father, Zhao Zhiping, and the other Sect Masters of the Great Western Prefecture had calculated. Everything was within their control and expectations.
However, what if Xiao Fan overturned the Heavenly Sword Mountain and pushed towards the Northern Heavens Sacred Land?
