Shu Shu chatted with An Xiaolang for a while and found him quite agreeable. He even invited An Xiaolang to eat at the famous lotus banquet in the inner lake.
Depending on the boat's itinerary, the Lotus Banquet would serve different dishes according to the different lotus leaves floating in the air that you would come across. Every dish matched each other, and there weren't many of the same dishes. If one didn't travel all over the lake, they wouldn't be able to eat all the delicacies, so many people would linger on the lake.
An Xiaolang ate to his heart's content and then returned the favor by inviting Shu Shu to his residence as a guest and discuss the art of creation. Shu Shu gladly agreed.
After a hearty conversation and a banquet, the two agreed to meet again the next day. Shu Shu took his leave and returned to his residence.
When he arrived at the hall, he couldn't help but stop and look to the side. He saw a middle-aged master craftsman with a cold expression sitting there waiting for him. The man said with a sullen expression, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Shu …" He snorted. Every time he called Shu Shu's name, he felt a bit more displeased with the latter.
He asked, "What's wrong with you? I asked you to compete with that An Xiaolang and get his art of creation out of him. Why did you tell him everything? "
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to change the plan, but it's that your plan can't succeed."
The middle-aged master craftsman frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Shu Shu said seriously, "An Xiaolang is a very smart person. Don't think that he's careless, but he knows very well that the plan you arranged won't be easily fooled. Moreover, according to my probing, his art of creation is very good, and his foundation is very stable. There's nothing exaggerated about it. This should be due to his talent and family inheritance. He only relied on his own inherent skills and didn't use any other methods to compete with what you asked of him. You completely underestimated him. "
The middle-aged master craftsman looked at him and said, "Then what about now? You used your own plan? "
Shu Shu said matter-of-factly, "Exactly. Isn't it better now? If I truly become friends with him, he will also treat me with sincerity. Then, he will tell me what he knows. Even if he doesn't tell me immediately, as our friendship deepens, I will be able to learn more through letters. You will also be able to get what you want. "
The middle-aged craftsman looked at him suspiciously and said, "You really think so?"
Shu Shu looked at him and sat down. He said, "If you don't trust me, you can find someone else."
The middle-aged master craftsman snorted and walked to the side. He took out an item and pointed it at the wall. Immediately, the figure of a god wearing a long robe was reflected there. A golden light shone out and covered half of the living room. He turned around and said, "I want you to swear an oath to His Excellency. What you said just now is not a lie. You must fulfill your promise when you come down."
Shu Shu was shocked and hesitated for a moment.
The middle-aged craftsman mocked, "What's wrong? You don't dare? "His expression turned cold." Or were you just saying some perfunctory words? "
Shu Shu said, "I don't believe in gods."
The middle-aged master craftsman said sternly, "Your Excellency is Your Excellency. How can you compare Your Excellency to those ordinary EsGods?"
Shu Shu insisted, "You said before that you won't force me to believe in Your Excellency."
The middle-aged master craftsman said coldly, "Yes, we won't force you to believe in anyone, but what I need now is for you to swear to Your Excellency that everything you said is true. If you don't even dare to do this, how can we trust you? "He urged," Hurry up. "Seeing that Shu Shu was not moving, he sneered," Seems like you're not willing? "
Shu Shu took a deep breath. His legs finally moved. He slowly walked to the front of His Honor's figure. He raised his head and glanced at His Honor, then lowered his head again. He then turned around and said, "My knees are too hard, I can't kneel down."
The middle-aged master craftsman sneered. "I knew you were lying just now."
At this time, Shu Shu simply laid it out and said, "So what? What you said is completely wrong. Those skills are a hundred times better in Brother An's hands than in your hands. Who knows what will happen in your hands? You keep saying that it's for the benefit of Tianxia, but who is Your Excellency? I've never heard of such a person in Tianxia. "
The middle-aged master craftsman said angrily, "Brat, you're just a frog at the bottom of a well. How can you understand His Excellency's power? I think you've already made up your mind to not obtain any creation skills from Brat An. People like you don't deserve to be one of us. Don't even think about being groomed by us! "
Shu Shu said contemptuously, "I don't need it. I just need to master my own skills. I only trust what I have mastered. Who knows what kind of dirty things are hidden in your charity?"
The middle-aged master craftsman revealed a mocking expression. He looked at him and said, "Do you think you can continue to forge after rejecting Your Excellency?"
Shu Shu didn't feel threatened. He forced himself to calm down and said, "I don't believe you have the guts to deal with an extremely promising creation student in the Tenki-in Hall."
The middle-aged master craftsman revealed an expression of mockery as he said, "That's why I said you don't understand anything. How could our methods be so crude? We will use illusions to confuse your mind and mind. It won't suddenly attack you, but it will subtly influence you. It will gradually damage your memory, so you won't be able to improve and will only continue to regress. When you see others improving, but you can't catch up no matter what and instead continue to regress, what will happen?"
Shu Shu's expression changed slightly.
The middle-aged master craftsman continued in a certain tone, "At that time, you will abandon yourself to despair. From a genius overflowing with talent, you will become a mediocre and incompetent person. Can you bear it?"
Seeing that Shu Shu's face was somewhat pale, his tone became even more proud. "We will make changes in these small aspects. This is a natural thing, no one will notice at all. When you are eliminated, no one will ask about your matters and no one will know about it. That's right, we will also conceal your current memories. That way, you won't be in too much pain."
Shu Shu suddenly woke up and said, "You've done this more than once?"
The middle-aged master craftsman didn't admit to this matter and only said, "You should understand. Those who are willing to worship Your Excellency, we can give them greater benefits. Those who are unwilling should be beaten into the dust because they are not worthy!"
Shu Shu's heart sank. When he thought about how many people had been treated like this, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
When the middle-aged craftsman saw that the intimidation was enough, he changed the topic and said, "I'll give you one last chance. As long as you're willing to kneel before His Honor and make a vow to His Honor and go back to do your own things, I can still let you pass."
Shu Shu said in a deep voice, "I don't understand. You clearly have this kind of power, so why don't you just go and find Young An?"
The middle-aged master craftsman didn't say anything, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.
Shu Shu looked at him and said with a certain tone, "He has protection by his side. You can't do anything to him? So you can only use this method? "He said mockingly," It seems your so-called Supreme isn't omnipotent? "
"Shut up!" The middle-aged master craftsman flew into a rage out of humiliation. "What do you know? Your Excellency's ability isn't something you can imagine. Since you refused, then don't blame us. "
He called out to the outside, but after waiting for a while, the people he had arranged outside didn't respond at all. He couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then a little flustered. When he realized that something was wrong, he didn't say anything superfluous. He put away the image of a god and directly walked out. However, he had only walked halfway when he turned back.
The woman in colorful clothes walked in and said, "I've finally found you."
The middle-aged master craftsman's head was full of cold sweat. He could see that this was a cultivator. Without a doubt, he was targeted by the Yujing's Guardian.
Shu Shu sighed in relief and said, "You're finally here."
The woman in colorful clothes was surprised and said, "Kid, you know I'm here?"
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since he can't threaten Brother An, maybe he has protection by his side. You might have noticed someone like me who's close to him."
The woman in colorful clothes clicked her tongue and said, "Kid, you're quite interesting. But you're old, and you're also a master craftsman. Otherwise, if I accept you as my Junior Brother, you'll be able to call him Chang 'an for free. That way, when he calls you, you won't be taking advantage of him."
At this time, she looked at the middle-aged master craftsman and said, "What about you? Tell me, who's your so-called Supreme?"
The middle-aged master craftsman was confused and said, "What Supreme?"
The woman in colorful clothes looked at him and sighed, "Don't talk about it. You've been bewitched again, haven't you? It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've already remembered what you told me. That's enough. "
Previously, Nie Xinying had suspected that there was something wrong with the Tenki-in Hall. However, she didn't have conclusive evidence, so she couldn't search wantonly. But now, she had evidence. Even if she couldn't find anything, what she saw just now was enough. As long as she searched thoroughly, with the ability of the Yujing Guard, there was nothing she couldn't find.
The woman in colorful clothes imprinted a seal on the middle-aged master craftsman so that she could know his whereabouts at any time. Then, she excitedly took the creation in his hand and sent a letter to Baizhen Mountain.
She then said to Yan Shushu, "Kid, don't stay here for now. Otherwise, we'll have to look after both of you. I'll send you to Young Master An's place first. You can come back when it's safe."
Yan Shushu didn't insist. His life was still more important.
After the woman in colorful clothes sent Yan Shushu to Young Master An, someone naturally came to replace her in monitoring this place. Meanwhile, she brought the creation back to Baizhen Mountain with a gust of wind. She presented the creation in front of Nie Xinying as if she was asking for credit. Then, she described the situation in detail.
Nie Xinying picked up the creation and looked at it. However, there was no reaction. Without a doubt, it was only used as a spiritual transfer tool. Perhaps the object itself was miraculous. Only those who could communicate with it would be able to see it. Others wouldn't be able to do anything. However, this wasn't important. Just as the woman in colorful clothes thought, this was enough.
She took out a letter and wrote it in an instant. Then, she copied several copies and said, "Of these three copies, send one to Yuanshangtai, one to Shouzheng, and one to gather all the cultivators. Have them investigate the Tenki-in Hall thoroughly. Move quickly."
The woman in colorful clothes thought for a moment and said, "Senior Sister, it's fine if we're from Baizhen Mountain, but the cultivators from Glazed Jade Heavenly Palace and Blazing Sun Peak won't necessarily cooperate with us. Should we inform Master?"
Nie Xinying's expression was calm as she said, "You want Master's personal letter?" She then took out an imperial letter that had already been stamped. She picked up a brush and said indifferently, "I'll write one for you right now."
