Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord
Chapter 157: A Gamble
"I want to ride the wind back home, but I am afraid that the jade buildings are too cold up there, so I dance with my shadow..."
Jiang Tingwan had been tossing and turning in Bai Wangshu's heart for several hours. He didn't know if it was because of the ideology, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of dryness in his lips and tongue after talking for so long.
The ground at Xinhai was freezing cold, and Jiang Tingwan was a coward who couldn't stand for long, so he simply climbed up the dead tree, lay on the trunk, face up, and talked incessantly.
Sui Jiu saw that she didn't seem tired at all, but became more and more courageous, with a look of enjoyment on her face. She couldn't help but sigh. At that moment, she told herself firmly in her heart that she should never mess with Jiang Tingwan in the future, because this woman could do anything to annoy people.
After reciting the poem, Jiang Tingwan started a new round of mischief. She actually sang the poem she was reciting, "Turning around the red pavilion, lowering the beautiful window, shining on the sleepless. There should be no hatred, why does the moon always appear full when we are parting? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes..."
The point is, it would be fine if she just sang well, but her voice was so "otherworldly" that it was even more extraordinary than the hellholes she had been to.
Did anyone tell her that others sing for money, but she sings for her life?
And Bai Wangshu is also a ruthless person. How can you bear this?
Can't she just give in and come out to put an end to this farce!!
Suijiu hid far away under a tree, covering her ears. She wished she could leave this place, but her duty was to keep her from escaping. She had to stay with Jiang Tingwan until the last moment of the mission.
Finally, Jiang Tingwan's voice came to an abrupt end in a sudden gust of wind. The cold wind carrying icy water vapor directly blew Jiang Tingwan off the tree, causing her to scream.
When she emerged from the mist, she did not complain at all. Instead, she put on an expected smile and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in the mist.
"You really are unscrupulous! You're not afraid of death!"
Bai Wangshu said this almost with gritted teeth, his eyes revealing an unspoken danger. The temperature of the air around him dropped suddenly, and even Sui Jiu couldn't help but shiver.
"You finally showed up!" Jiang Tingwan hugged his hurt arm and walked towards her with a smile, "I really thought you could endure it forever?"
Back to the topic, Jiang Tingwan's expression became solemn and serious. She walked slowly to Bai Wangshu, stared at her, without fear.
"It's time to get down to business! Let's be frank. I know what you're thinking. You think Mu Yunzhong is not a threat, and you think you can kill him and put an end to it. But I can also tell you with equal certainty that you absolutely cannot kill him."
Jiang Tingwan's eyes flashed with confidence, and then after recalling an event not too long ago, he laughed at himself and said, "Because before this, I have tried everything you want to do."
Bai Wangshu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her without saying anything. Jiang Tingwan continued.
"He is much smarter and more perceptive than we thought, and he is even good at disguising himself. Everyone in the sect, except you, thinks that he is the unpopular disciple who is inferior, cowardly, and can be bullied by everyone. This is all thanks to the image you have created for yourself over the years. It is you who made them form such an impression. So I can tell you from my experience that the entire Luoyang Mountain would rather believe that you will kill him than believe that he wants to kill you, and even Cang Shuzi is no exception."
After all, Cang Shuzi was on guard against many things, except Mu Yunzhong.
At this point, Jiang Tingwan forced out a long bitter smile, vaguely remembering that at that time, he left Mu Yunzhong just as Cang Shuzi sent him to the hospital. He took the medicine just as he told Mu Yunzhong.
Since Bai Wangshu didn't agree with her own ending and thought that killing was the best solution, Jiang Tingwan could only present the facts to her and let her see her current situation clearly.
Jiang Tingwan spoke very logically, and her words were like a heavy punch to Bai Wangshu's heart. She frowned slightly, as if she didn't believe that Cang Shuzi was a confused person?
"As for his identity..." Jiang Tingwan paused, as if he had thought of something.
Her eyes stayed on Bai Wangshu for a moment, as if searching for some answer, and finally she spoke slowly:
“Perhaps you don’t understand, and have never realized, that your sect is actually an extremely protective sect. Because it was you who brought Mu Yunzhong to the mountain, and therefore when everyone thought his mother was Ye Nanzhu, Sanyuan Sect accepted this child who might be a descendant of Wuchen Palace from the very beginning.”
"It was because of you that they condoned and ignored what you did to Mu Yunzhong. You wanted to vent, so they acquiesced to it and condoned your behavior... Whether it was Cang Shuzi, Xing Mingzi, or Gu Qingman, they all stood on your side..."
Bai Wangshu frowned unconsciously after hearing these words. Ever since she was abandoned, she had only hatred towards those two people in her heart. She once begged her senior brother to go down the mountain with her to kill the adulterous couple, but he did not agree and said that he was possessed by a demon and had an obsession.
Not only did he not help me, he even teamed up with Gu Qingman and Xing Mingzi to lock me up.
It was this stage that contributed to her mastery of the San Yuan Jue. From then on, she knew that no one in the entire San Yuan Sect could stop her.
Are they indulging themselves? Isn't it because no one can stop her?
Jiang Tingwan noticed that Bai Wangshu's expression was one of doubt and questioning.
But she still looked directly into Bai Wangshu's eyes, emphasizing every word, "But people are made of flesh and blood after all. Mu Yunzhong grew up in Luoyang Mountain. From the moment Cang Shuzi was willing to teach him the Sanyuan Jue, I knew that Mu Yunzhong had already become a member of the Sanyuan Sect. Although he was looked down upon, he was the most competitive and became the best disciple of the Sanyuan Sect."
“Believe it or not, even if you tell Cang Shuzi about the existence of the Dustless Pearl in Mu Yunzhong’s body, he will choose to protect this disciple.”
“Even if Mu Yunzhong is the disciple in Sanyuan Sect who is most likely to enter the top three in the trial conference, he will give up letting him participate in the competition in order to protect this secret and Mu Yunzhong.”
"Heh..." Bai Wangshu couldn't believe what he said, and snorted coldly, "How ridiculous! He is the leader of a sect. How could he be so soft-hearted in such a big matter?"
Bai Wangshu's tone sounded as if he absolutely did not believe that Cang Shuzi would make such a stupid decision.
"You don't believe it?" Jiang Tingwan's expression brightened, he raised his eyebrows, and said in high spirits, "Then let's make a bet!"
Bai Wangshu glanced at her coldly and turned to leave.
"If you win, I will be at your disposal. I will voluntarily give up my mission and go home to die."
A dark light flashed in Jiang Tingwan's eyes. Her words caused Sui Jiu beside her to look at her, as if blaming her for being impulsive.
She had heard of mission failures before, and this was the first time someone voluntarily gave up on saving themselves. She had only carried out two missions in total, so why was each one so hellishly difficult?
There was that man in front, Wen Bushian in the back, and Jiang Tingwan, whose train of thought was unknown. Things changed in an instant.
too difficult!
too difficult!
Bai Wangshu in front of her stopped, turned around, and looked at her meaningfully, as if he had finally seen a valuable bargaining chip.
After all, having a lonely ghost who sings so badly living in my heart is really... too annoying!
Jiang Tingwan was delighted to see Bai Wangshu's emotion, and immediately said, "But if you lose, you have to cooperate with me to save Mu Yunzhong, to save you and me!"
She said it loudly, no longer hiding the emotions that were revealed invisibly.
Bai Wangshu did not answer, but just smiled coldly.
Jiang Tingwan didn't get a reply, but felt that she should have agreed. However, Bai Wangshu was a moody person and might go back on his word.
Before she could ask, a thunder suddenly sounded in her heart, and the scene in the mist unfolded again. Bai Wangshu looked out the window, and the sound of sparse rain gradually came.
It's raining! Heavy rain!
Bai Wangshu's gaze lingered on the dark sky for a long time. The bean-sized raindrops fell on the tiles, making tinkling sounds.
When she lowered her gaze, she saw a familiar figure kneeling in the courtyard outside the window...
"Master said! Whenever there is thunder and heavy rain, I will kneel in the rain until it stops, to pay for my father's sins. I will remember this."
Mu Yunzhong's voice rang in his mind, and Jiang Tingwan was also shocked after seeing the face of the person in the rain...
