"Why is senior apprentice-sister so sure that senior apprentice-brother Fan will support the challenge? From what I see, with senior apprentice-brother's temper, it's most likely that he'll choose to be stable, right? "Lou Xiaoyi beat around the bush. He couldn't be too obvious about the benefits he wanted.
Ka Wah didn't hesitate, "Yes, you're right. Senior apprentice-brother Fan indeed has this kind of temper! If it was a Daoist Master who sent the message, he would definitely choose to be mature and prudent. But the one who sent the message is his master. What do you think he'll choose? "
Lou Xiaoyi suddenly understood, "Then, senior apprentice-sister's master is also in the same faction as them?"
Ka Wah frowned. She didn't want to answer this kind of question, but she chose to ask for help.
"It's not master! But it's more or less the same, so I'll support senior apprentice-brother Fan's decision! "
Lou Xiaoyi continued, "Then, the faction behind Gu Huai and the others is different … Okay, okay, I won't talk about this. I know senior apprentice-sister doesn't like to hear it!
I'm a straightforward person, and I don't want to be hypocritical. I also have a condition … "
Ka Wah stared at him, "Say it!"
Lou Xiaoyi said slowly, "I'm a newly affiliated disciple. My previous orthodoxy was the Seven Colors Sword Sect of the Seven Colors Continent! Ever since I came to Carefree, I've been homesick, but due to the sect's rules, I can't act without permission. If I help senior apprentice-sister, can senior apprentice-sister help me do some work and send me on a mission from the Seven Colors Continent? "
Ka Wah let out a sigh of relief. She thought that this guy would ask for an exorbitant price. After leaving for decades without returning, it was normal for him to miss his hometown and old friends. There was nothing strange about it. It would be strange if he didn't miss it!
In Carefree Travel, there was indeed such a requirement for newly affiliated disciples. But it wasn't like there was no room for flexibility. For example, if an elder believed that this person had completely converted, or if there was a special mission … it could be manipulated.
To Lou Xiaoyi, this was a very correct thing to do. To the higher-ups, it was just a sentence.
"Okay, I can help you do it! I won't be blamed for secretly returning to the Seven Colors Continent. "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled, "It's a deal!"
He didn't care about Liu Bo's battle. On the contrary, he was looking forward to it because he had very little experience in dealing with Buddhist disciples. When he was at the Fifth Ring, he didn't have any monks. Qing Kong did, but he didn't have the time to flirt with him. For a Swordsman who viewed battle as cultivation, he longed to fight with any type of cultivator and firmly believed that he would obtain the final victory!
However, he couldn't take the initiative to ask for it. That would put him at a disadvantage. It would be best if someone else asked for it. Then, even if he was unwilling, he would reluctantly accept it …
The reason why he wanted to return to the Seven Colors Continent was not that he was looking for trouble. It was also not because the Red Earth Merchant Guild might retaliate against the original orthodoxy of his identity. Thinking about it, they were all orthodoxies. What right did Red Earth have to say that it dared to retaliate against the orthodoxy of another continent?
The reason why he wanted to make this trip was because of his personality. In this aspect, he and Qing Xuan had something in common. After the meeting at Tai Xuan, both of them had discussed this problem and had the idea to solve their origins. They couldn't always be so passive and hope that they would be lucky not to bump into acquaintances. That was not their personality. They were both aggressive people. When there was trouble, they would think about how to solve it, not how to avoid it!
He needed to find a reason. The threat of the Red Earth Merchant Guild gave him a reason to do so. As for what to do when he really reached the Seven Colors Continent, there would be a way. Moreover, he and Qing Xuan both privately thought that from a human perspective, it was normal for them to do so. They weren't honest people who didn't return for hundreds of years. If they were so honest, they wouldn't have committed a capital crime!
A month later, everyone gathered at Baiyun Taoist Temple again. The thing that Ka Wah was worried about happened!
Two senior brothers, Fan Tong and Zuo Li, thought that the Buddhist Sect had indeed rotated the guarding Arhat. Out of the six Dragon and Tiger Arhats, four had left. They should no longer be afraid of the slightest thing. Instead, they should take the initiative to attack and not embarrass Xiaoyao You. Under such circumstances, they were still clinging to the idea of defending and counterattacking.
Gu Huai's objection was also very firm. "In front of the gains and losses of the continent, what is the so-called reputation? There is clearly the safest way to protect the continent, but you want to be reckless and impulsive. I don't know where the logic lies.
The reason why the Mountain Gate wants us to make the decision instead of directly ordering us to challenge them is because they respect our understanding of the Thousand Buddha Monks over the years!
Finally, I want to remind you that if the Sixth Gamble fails, do you think the Mountain Gate will take responsibility?
No, they will say that the initiative has always been in your hands!
This is a continent, not a spiritual weapon! It is lost forever, and there is no chance to get it back! "
Fan Tong was still trying his best. "But there is one thing that we have investigated very clearly. Out of the six Dragon and Tiger Arhats, four have left. We have been in Shaga for so many years, how could we be wrong?"
Gu Huai did not give in. "Senior Brother Fan is right! But what level are the four new Arhats at? Who knows? What if it is a smokescreen, using the Dragon and Tiger Arhats of other continents to exchange for Shaga's? They are luring us to challenge them now, so that they will not be at a disadvantage in the end! "
Zuo Li supported Fan Tong. "Impossible. There are four new Dragon and Tiger Arhats. I found a chance to test one of them. He is just an ordinary Arhat monk. There is nothing special about him!"
Gu Huai did not give in. "First, you have to test all four new Arhats before you can make a conclusion! Second, how do you know that he is not deliberately hiding his strength? "
Zuo Li's eyebrows were like knives. "Test everyone? Then why not just tell them that we are ready to attack? As for hiding his strength, I, Zuo Li, have tested him. He can't hide his strength!
There is no perfect plan in this world, and there is no certain victory. If you don't take the risk, then you don't have to do anything. Just go back to the mountain gate and retire! I am a dignified Xiaoyao Orthodoxy, with the same status as the Ten Thousand Buddhas. But here I am, overcautious and afraid of this and that. I don't know what I am afraid of.
Some people have brought the grudges of the mountain gate's internal factions into official business, using this as a pretext to stir up trouble. I will report this to the mountain gate! "
Gu Huai was also angry. It was true that he did not get along with Fan Tong's group, but it was also true that he suspected the monks of cheating. It was not entirely due to selfish motives!
"You can report it as you wish. I, Gu Huai, am not afraid of slanted shadows! I am also telling you that I do not agree to this challenge. I will not participate in it, and I will not be responsible for your reckless actions! "
Fan Tong sighed in his heart. Things had come to this point by accident, but it was also inevitable!
To be honest, if he ignored all external factors and only acted based on intuition, he would probably choose to continue to endure, just like Gu Huai. This was a character and also a judgment!
But the order was given by his master. He was also very clear that the faction represented by his master was at a critical moment in the upper level of the Xiaoyao Orthodoxy. They needed him to open up the situation in Shaka, and not dawdle here.
There was no other way. Life was unpredictable, and there was no choice!
"Then, let's vote!"
