She's waiting for me there.

Taoist Baimei looked at him in surprise.

He adjusted quickly enough, thinking it would take him a while to calm down.

"Can Cheng Wenyin be saved?" Chen Yun turned his head to look at Bai Mei and asked seriously.

He sighed and shook his head: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, there is nothing you can do about it."

Swish!

A cold light came.

"But then again..." Taoist Baimei's voice became several tones higher.

Chen Yun stopped and looked at him coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, can we sit down and talk slowly? Put away the dagger first."

"Well, you'd better give me a satisfactory answer."

The two of them returned to their previous sitting positions.

Taoist Baimei tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just leave?"

Chen Yun raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid, but you will show up again eventually, and then we'll settle all the old and new accounts together."

"Okay, okay, you're awesome, I can't afford to offend you."

"Back to the topic, how to save Cheng Wenyin."

Seeing Chen Yun's solemn expression, Baimei's tone also became more serious.

"Jiang Miaoke is coming back."

This irrelevant answer made Chen Yun stand there in a daze.

"You, what did you say?"

"You heard right, she will be back soon, but the time is still uncertain."

"Resurrected from the dead? Are you bragging to me?"

Who can believe such an unbelievable thing?

"Haha, a person who has been reborn is still a materialist, isn't it funny."

"But......"

The voice stopped abruptly, Chen Yun frowned slightly and lowered his head to ponder.

After a moment, he suddenly looked up.

"You mean Cheng Wenyin will come back even if she dies?"

"It's easier to talk to smart people, but let me make it clear first, I'm not sure when I'll be back."

Taoist Baimei confessed his mistake first. It’s better not to wait for Chen Yun to ask about this kind of thing. Playing word games doesn’t work well in front of him.

Chen Yun's mind was a little confused now. He pinched himself a few times to calm his fluctuating thoughts.

"No, we must save him. What's the price?"

"Why bother?"

Chen Yun smiled, looked at the chirping sparrows in the distance, and said calmly:

"It's a simple truth. Which would you choose, the happiness in front of you or the happiness you anticipate?"

"There's a reason to enjoy life in the moment, and besides..."

"Lime will be sad. I don't want to see that helpless look again. She's already... miserable."

Taoist Baimei smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Can you really afford this price?"

"Tell me."

"Your lifespan."

"How many."

"All."

When Chen Yun heard these two words, his pupils suddenly shrank.

This price was something he had not expected. He stared at Taoist Baimei, trying to see his expression clearly.

Unfortunately, it failed.

After a long time.

He smiled and took out his dagger.

"Hey, why are you so quick to get physical in the middle of a conversation? You can't turn against me so quickly."

"Let me say it again, this is not your bottom line."

Taoist Baimei was obviously stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "How did you know?"

"Haha, I'm your most important chess piece. After all these years of planning, I still haven't reaped any rewards. Are you going to throw this chess piece away? I don't believe it."

"Why is it always like this? They are so cunning. There must be a price to pay. This step cannot be skipped."

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Tell me, how much."

"No, you speak first. Even if I speak, you won't agree."

The old Taoist finally understood that no matter how much he said, Chen Yun would definitely bargain.

"Okay, one minute."

Baimei stood up and pointed at his nose and shouted, "How much? Are you kidding me? Is this how you bargain?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You have to take your time."

Chen Yun pulled his sleeve and sat back down.

"You've cut directly into the aorta. What's there to bargain for? Half of my life span, no less."

"Let's discuss this for another two minutes."

Hearing this, Baimei stood up again in anger and turned to leave.

There's no way to negotiate this deal. If you have any sincerity, you wouldn't talk like this.

"Look, you're anxious again. Come back soon and we can talk again."

"20."

"5 minutes."

"10."

"10 minutes."

.......

The two of them sat on the rooftop, like two haggling aunties in the vegetable market, arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick.

In the end, Chen Yun was tougher and put the dagger on the neck of Taoist Baimei.

"Damn it, you have to do this today, whether you want to or not, otherwise it's going to be a fight to the death, and no one will be able to get out of this."

Chen Yun glared and started playing the tough guy game, and stopped pretending.

You even want to deduct my HP, that's crazy.

My two wives are very careful when using it, for fear that it will affect the lifespan. Can you just reduce it if you say so?

I'm not going to pretend anymore. I'm going to be frank with you. I just want to get something for nothing and I don't even want to put up any chips.

Taoist Baimei wanted to argue, but looking at the dagger in front of him, he finally chose to shut up.

It’s not that he can’t defeat Chen Yun, nor is it that he can’t escape.

But I am afraid of Chen Yun after the end of this timeline. I have experienced this kind of thing before.

When wandering between different timelines, Chen Yun will recover all his strength and memory in a very short period of time.

In fact, all these plans were made by him, and I was just a hidden chess piece in his hand.

I'm afraid that I'll run into trouble in some timeline and have to use this hidden chess piece to clean up the mess.

If you go against Chen Yun's intentions, you will be the one who suffers in the end.

Baimei took out a jade pendant from his arms: "Give this to Cheng Wenyin. It's enough to prolong her life."

"This one piece is not enough, give me a few more."

Baimei angrily scolded: "Do you think this is a big cabbage? It's the last one, how can there be any extra?"

"Really gone?"

"Nothing."

"you swear."

"I...I swear, if there's another jade pendant, you're the one who made it."

Chen Yun quickly smiled and withdrew the dagger: "Haha, look at you, I was just talking casually, why did you swear such a poisonous oath."

Baimei glanced at him and said, "Just talking?"

If you don't put a knife to my neck when you are free, I will really believe it.

Seeing Chen Yun sweeping over him with an unsatisfied look, Baimei quickly stepped back.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I have something else to do, I'll leave first..."

Swish!

Before he could finish his words, he disappeared.

"Hey, wait a minute, I still have something to ask."

Chen Yun looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Forget it, I am very satisfied with this. Let's rescue my mother-in-law first. I guess my concubine is waiting anxiously."

He walked quickly downstairs.

After a while, Taoist Baimei showed up after confirming that Chen Yun had gone to the emergency room.

"Phew! This guy is really hard to deal with. He made me swear. Fortunately, I have wit."

"After all, I was molded from clay by you, the Creator, so there's nothing wrong with making this oath."

"Hey, let's go, there are still many things to do. It's really tiring to follow him."

"This Heavenly Dao, can't you just be more sensible and let him pass? Why did you cause so much trouble?"

"Given Chen Yun's personality, he'll definitely have a chance to turn things around sooner or later. When that happens, haha."

"Just wait for death."

The blur on Baimei's face slowly dissipated, revealing a face that looked somewhat similar to Chen Yun.
