Now that things had come to this..,
Especially after he had been ambushed and she had left his side 'in time'.
Zhang Chulan must have understood the weakness of his own strength, as well as the fact that they had no ability to protect Feng Bao Bao.
After a long period of contact..,
Liu Xiaojiang also knew Zhang Chulan's personality. He was smart, patient, good at hiding... and even fierce to himself and others.
However, other than these things that were forced out by his past experience, he was still helping Feng Bao Bao to find out the original intention of her background, but he was still like a hot-blooded and impulsive young man... His nature was kind.
Liu Xiaojiang had thought more than once about why Zhang Chulan was willing to continue staying by Feng Bao Bao's side after learning the 'truth' of his grandfather's past and doing those things that were completely unlike what a person like him should do.
After all, based on Zhang Chulan's past experience, he had relied on his intelligence and forbearance to live peacefully in normal society for more than ten years.
Such a guy who was even willing to give up the methods of an inhuman and suffer all kinds of hardships to become an ordinary person..
If it could be said that he had participated in this out of helplessness at the beginning, it was because he had investigated the source of Zhang Huaiyi's gas. In the end, the matter had inevitably found its way to Zhang Chulan, causing him to have no choice but to passively bear the consequences left behind by his ancestors.
Then, after experiencing the Luo Tian's Grand Ritual and learning about Zhang Huaiyi's past, he established that he was not the heir of the gas source.
If Zhang Chulan wanted to protect himself, he could stay in Tenshi Province... or rely on the protection of Tenshi Province to live a normal life again. He believed that it was not difficult to do, at least it would be easier than now.
Moreover, from Zhang Chulan's point of view, as long as he remained rational, this situation was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, Zhang Chulan, who had been smart and patient in the past, did not maintain her rationality when it came to Feng Baobao. Not only did she not accept the best choice for herself, but she also plunged into a quagmire that could have been avoided.
This was very irrational...
Liu Xiaojiang thought about it, but he still couldn't figure out whether Zhang Chulan had other motives for helping Feng Bao Bao. Because no matter how he looked at it... participating in Feng Bao Bao's matter did not benefit Zhang Chulan at all.
Therefore, after carefully observing for a long time,
He was sure that no matter what kind of feelings Zhang Chulan had for Feng Bao Bao, whether it was out of guilt toward his grandfather for deceiving Feng Bao, or sympathy for Feng Bao Bao's background and experience …
Zhang Chulan's feelings and help for Feng Bao Bao could only be sincere from the bottom of his heart and could only be explained by his nature.
After all, not only did Zhang Chulan not scramble for the so-called 'Eight Strange Skills' like others, but he also developed a sense of disgust due to his past experiences. He was not a foolish person who would take the initiative to get involved in this mess.
Because for someone like Zhang Chulan who was used to living a peaceful life, perhaps this was not within the scope of his original plan at all.
One wrong step … Every step was wrong. Even if he relied on his brain and seemed to be able to handle everything perfectly, in the end, he was still a young man with insufficient strength. No matter how good his brain was, it would be difficult for him to resist the enormous power contained in the storm.
Zhang Chulan was mentally exhausted. This situation had become more and more obvious after the Green Touring Village incident.
This time, after experiencing Qu Tong's extremely targeted attack …
Liu Xiaojiang thought that Zhang Chulan would either completely collapse, or recognize his lack of strength. On one hand, he would work hard to cultivate his strength, and on the other hand, he would begin to search for a replacement.
In fact, the current situation was obviously the latter.
As for the person to replace him, the person who might be willing to help Zhang Chulan …
Because Feng Bao Bao might be related to the Rootless Students, and considering the 'hatred' between Lu Jin and the Rootless Students, Zhang Chulan would certainly work hard on the Lu siblings. After all, those two idiots were obviously Old Master Lu's favorite.
In addition …
"Uncle, what do you think about this matter?"
"… Xiao Jiang, you suddenly called me because of Lingyu?"
"You can say that. I don't intend to lie to you, but I don't intend to say anything else. I don't want to disturb your cultivation. You just have to be willing to believe that I won't cheat Lingyu."
"Actually, in the afternoon, that child Chu Lan also called me. He suddenly wanted to ask about Lu and the Rootless Students that year …"
"Oh? You told him? "
"Although I, your Senior Uncle, am not afraid of Old Lu, and I don't mind bringing up Old Lu's embarrassing past, this matter involves the Rootless Lifeform after all. It's very difficult for me to confirm the purpose of his question. If it's to investigate what happened back then, wouldn't I be pushing him into the fire pit if I told him?"
"It seems that you still don't want Chu Lan to know about what happened that year …"
"… Xiao Jiang, now you …"
"Uncle, you don't need to know what I'm doing. I can still pat my chest and promise you that I have a clear conscience to the elders of the sect. I have a clear conscience to all living beings in the world. I … have a clear conscience."
"Isn't that great …?"
"Well, forget it, Uncle. Let's not talk about this first. Lingyu must still be confused. Don't you think that he and Chu Lan are quite interesting? One uses Yin lightning as openly as Yang lightning, while the other uses Yang lightning in a sinister way."
"You mean to say that Lingyu should go down the mountain and …"
"Yes, Lingyu is good at everything, but he can't see himself clearly. Chu Lan seems to be bad at everything, but he will never treat himself badly under normal circumstances. He is the one worthy of Lingyu to learn from. Besides, I don't think Lingyu will be enlightened if he stays on the mountain all the time."
"But Chu Lan is obviously investigating …"
"Martial Uncle, this is a fortuitous encounter. Since we can't stop it, why don't we try our best to ensure Chu Lan's safety? The other senior brothers aren't suitable candidates. Only Ling Yu, whose mental problems are hard to resolve on the mountain, is the most suitable person to protect Chu Lan as a secular disciple."
"… Boy, how confident are you?"
"That depends on whether you're willing to part with your spiritual jades. If you still want him to inherit the position of Celestial Master, his temperament problem will probably never be solved. At present, only by not letting him consider himself as a Primary Disciple can he think about his own problems like a normal person."
"But, there's no reason …"
"Hey, if there's no reason, I'll give you a reason. See, the reason of colluding with the all-sex demon … is sufficient?"
"… You know about him and that girl?"
…
A moment later.
Liu Xiaojiang hung up the phone and got out of bed with his hair disheveled. He simply washed up in the room, then pushed open the door and walked out of the small room of about ten square meters.
"Are you done?"
Xia He and Shen Chong were sitting on the sofa in the living room. As soon as they saw Liu Xiaojiang come out of the room, they immediately asked impatiently,
"Celestial Master agreed?"
Hearing this …
Liu Xiaojiang sat beside Shen Chong, picked up an apple on the table, and took a bite. Then, he looked at Xia He opposite him and said,
"Xia He, let's stop here for now. Although Zhang Chulan said that she would need a month to adjust, it's not like I'm sitting around doing nothing. There are some things … that I need to confirm."
Xia He frowned slightly and said, "Zhang Lingyu, that …"
"You and Shen Chong will leave for Tenshi Province tomorrow. Everything will be done according to what we discussed before," Liu Xiaojiang interrupted with a smile,
"If it's you, make a scene at the Celestial Master's residence. I don't believe that Ling Yu can bear to see you get blamed …"
"Then … what should I do?" Shen Chong looked troubled.
Xia He and Zhang Lingyu might be willing to plead for leniency on his behalf. If he were to cause trouble at the Celestial Master Manor, he might not be able to return alive. Would Zhang Lingyu plead for leniency on his behalf?
"… You'll be in charge of providing support." Liu Xiaojiang looked at Shen Chong in amusement and said,
"Lingyu and Xia He will leave Mount Longhu together. Even if he's disappointed, he won't join the All-Encompassing Alliance. When the time comes, we'll naturally need an objective and intelligent person to point out a clear path for him …"
"Don't tell me you're still hoping that Xia He will be able to face Ling Yu objectively? If those two were still able to think rationally when they were together, how could they possibly be torturing each other like this …? Are you stupid?"
"…" Xia He.
"Then I understand." Shen Chong immediately put away the troubled expression on his face. He smiled and reached out to push up his glasses.
"Then what about you? What's the Sect Leader planning to do? Don't you need us to provide support?"
"… No need." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head without thinking.
"That guy's methods are too unusual. Although they're useless against me, they're too easy for him to deal with. If he finds out my true identity from you guys, I'll be too embarrassed to make a move."
"Easy for him to deal with us?" Shen Chong frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Who is this guy? Could he be one of the Ten Great Leaders?"
"Oh, right. This time, there might really be a Ten Great Leaders." Liu Xiaojiang thought about the situation he learned from Chairman Zhao. He also remembered that the other party's situation didn't seem good.
"Okay …" Xia He raised her eyebrows and crossed her legs on the sofa. She then placed her hands on her legs and rested her chin on her hands.
"Since you're already so considerate of us, we naturally won't go over and cause trouble for you. Then be careful … Don't let us lose a good Sect Leader so quickly."
"Hmph …" Liu Xiaojiang didn't care about Xia He's attitude. Instead, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth and said,
"If the whole group of people were as clear-headed as you, I wouldn't have taken over the position of Acting Sect Leader."
"I understand what you mean." Shen Chong looked at the two of them and said, "Even if you don't say what you're going to do, you should at least say where you are. If we encounter something that requires support, we can quickly know the approximate location."
"Even if it's Wudang Sect, would the two of you dare to go?"
"What's this? Even if it's Wudang Sect … Wudang Sect?!"
"Yes, it's Wudang Sect."
"Then pretend I didn't say anything …"
"…"
— — —
A few days later.
Late at night.
Liu Xiaojiang hid his aura and followed behind Wang Ye and Chen Jinkui to the foot of Wudang Mountain.
After a long time, he noticed that Chen Jinkui had stopped and didn't continue to follow Wang Ye deeper into Wudang Sect. He immediately quickened his pace, bypassed Chen Jinkui's area, and followed Wang Ye into the Taoist temple.
…
Outside a cave in the back of Wudang Mountain.
"Grand Master! There's light in the cave! "
"Yes! Let's go in and take a look! "
Liu Xiaojiang watched Martial Uncle Zhou Meng and Martial Nephew CloudDragon walk into the cave. He thought for a moment, and then quietly followed them to the entrance of the cave.
However, before he could go in to take a look, he found that CloudDragon had come out again with a displeased look on his face. Thus, he hurriedly retreated to the forest outside the cave to hide. When there was no movement nearby, he stood in front of the cave again.
…
In the cave.
"My method is getting better and better. Of the three masters who were trapped in the Interior, only one is left now, so I want to come and try again …"
"Don't be ridiculous. When you first learned this skill, we've already tried it. They're also people who have mastered this skill, but it's just that they're in the Interior. However, it's precisely because they're lost in the illusion that they can use this skill indefinitely … Stop beating around the bush and tell us the truth!"
"… Grand Master, do you know what I've been doing these days? I've been happily running around the world!"
"Who … has set their eyes on you?"
"The most persistent one is the Magic Gate."
"Oh, haha … Jin Kui'er."
"But I didn't just wander around to hide from Master Kui'er. I also chose many schools in the circle to visit as long as there was an old man in the school who had experienced the Jia Shen."
"Oh? What are you doing? "
"This is the inspiration you gave me. Do you still remember what you said to me? You don't have the courage of the Taoist Master. Maybe you mean that you and the Taoist Master are different in character … but you and the Taoist Master are the same in one thing."
When Liu Xiaojiang heard the conversation between Wang Ye and Zhou Meng, he immediately gave up the idea of appearing in front of them. He leaned against the stone wall on the side of the passage in the cave, intending to listen to what Wang Ye knew.
What's more, Qimen Divination was not a weak school, and the Wind Empress Qimen stood at the peak of Qimen Divination. Wang Ye also had an unusually strong deduction and calculation ability, which was the main reason why Liu Xiaojiang valued him so much.
In the past, after understanding the Magic Gate's deduction and calculation ability, Liu Xiaojiang did not pay much attention to what Wang Ye could do through the Magic Gate.
But in Bi You Village, after learning that Wang Ye could obtain some important information by comparing the problem itself, he had never paid so much attention to a young Mutant under the age of 30.
Wang Ye, on the other hand, was still alright …
The reason why Liu Xiaojiang came to the WuTang Mountain alone to explore information related to the Wind Gate Empress was because he didn't want anyone else to obtain this' inexplicable 'ability.
After all, no one could guarantee that the person who obtained the Magic Gate would be the same as Wang Ye in terms of human nature.
What if it was a guy who had the ambition to do something for himself …
Everything would become very troublesome!
