Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Zhu Wuyao entered Qiaocheng and bought today's copy of "Ten Thousand Book Reviews".

After years of development, the main purpose of Wan Juan Book Review has gradually shifted from readers commenting on traditional stories to writers commenting on world events.

Back then, the speechless "obituary" spread far and wide through countless book reviews.

As the business expands, not only people who enjoy reading storybooks will buy them, but also literate people with spare money will occasionally buy them to read.

Due to the outdated nature of "Ten Thousand Book Reviews," it is almost useless to cultivators, who cannot rely on tabloids to obtain information that interests them.

A deeply ingrained impression is that if something in the cultivation world is published in "Ten Thousand Book Reviews," it's no different from every cultivator knowing it.

However, it still has an audience among cultivators, since even novel things happening to mortals can be entertaining.

Gu Lang intentionally slowed down his pace.

By using the "uselessness of use," they protected their business.

Zhu Wuyao did not choose to stay at an inn. After buying ten thousand volumes of book reviews, he immediately left the town and conspired with Song Kezi in a cave.

Because the Juque Sect began to plot against her, coupled with powerful enemies in the shadows, Zhu Wuyao was somewhat overwhelmed.

She needs to use Song Kezi.

Therefore, unlike before, he no longer kept all information to himself, nor did he deliberately imprison Song Kezi in the Pinghe Ding to confuse the public.

When Song Kezi saw the "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" spread out in front of him, a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

He realized that Zhu Wuyao was only revealing his secrets to him to a limited extent.

"OK!

"Is it because 'Ten Thousand Book Reviews' is about to become obsolete that you dare to let me know its true importance?"

That's right, that's it.

The book reviews will eventually be discovered, and each one you read is one less to read.

"I thought you were using those fortune-telling fees to weave a huge net among ordinary people!"

"You can only cast spells and foresee the future by observing the vibrations of the net when you are surrounded by people, so you always lock me in the cauldron!"

Song Kezi's information was extremely limited, even less than Zhu Wuyao's; he had almost no resources at his disposal and could not devise a plan like the Juque Sect or conduct trial and error with Zhu Wuyao.

Moreover... the reason he couldn't guess about "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" was because he was often the one who insisted on buying the tabloids and storybooks!

When traveling the world, one needs some entertainment to pass the time.

So every time Zhu Wuyao took out the tabloid, he would assume that, like the snacks, it was a gift from Zhu Wuyao out of a moment of conscience...

Realizing she had been deceived for so long, Song Kezi was heartbroken.

"So this wasn't bought specifically for me, but rather you needed it yourself, so you just showed it to me as well..."

"You bought those snacks because you wanted to eat them yourself, right?"

Zhu Wuyao knew that no matter how good she was to Song Kezi, it would be useless. In Song Kezi's eyes, it would all be charity, humiliation, ill intentions, and ulterior motives, so she never argued with him about these things.

She slapped him on the back of the head and said:

“Cut the nonsense.

"In the book reviews, news about the cultivation world is inherently delayed. After coordinating accuracy and time span, I can accurately predict the next two issues, which also makes up for the time difference."

"By finding a balance, I can predict the major events that will happen in the next ten days."

Song Kezi turned and gave her a resentful look, then sat cross-legged around the luminous Pinghe Cauldron, a magical artifact for illumination. He took a bitter bite of a fragrant chicken leg and said:

"Suppose that such a formidable enemy truly exists, possessing a secret treasure of the Juque Sect, and has survived to this day."

"And in recent months, they have been constantly testing the limitations, scope, timing, and conditions of your precognitive abilities, and have also been targeting your town."

"You can still buy 'Ten Thousand Book Reviews' now? That's unreasonable..."

Zhu Wuyao nodded solemnly.

This is not reasonable.

How is it possible that all the deduction steps are correct, yet the other party still can't calculate the answer?

She said, "The most noteworthy news in the next ten days is that a secret realm has appeared in the chaotic southern lands, and the elders of the Juque Sect have suffered a crushing defeat."

"But what's strange is that this tabloid, which will appear in the future, mentions that the disciples of the Juque Sect will all say that I stole the opportunity from the secret realm."

Why would I go to some chaotic place in the south when I have nothing better to do?

Zhu Wuyao frowned, quite puzzled. She was currently avoiding the chaotic southern region like the plague.

There, the place was a melting pot of all sorts of people, with countless highly skilled cultivators, and the order had completely collapsed.

Moreover, news and information about the chaos in the south rarely reach the outside world and won't appear in Wan Juan Book Reviews. Even she knows very little about the area.

Given Zhu Wuyao's current wealth, going to such a place would be tantamount to carrying gold through the market.

Even though he was a Nascent Soul cultivator with some skills, he couldn't compete with the chaotic southern region, which had at least a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators with dozens of skills.

Two fists can't fight four hands, so she won't go and get surrounded.

"Moreover, I had a premonition of the future some time ago and saw the possibility that I would stumble and fall in the chaos of the South."

Song Kezi nodded repeatedly in agreement:

“That’s right. Even if you’re not thinking straight and want to die, I will definitely stop you. So, didn’t that tabloid say that only the Juque Sect cultivators ‘insisted’?”

"The Juque Sect is spreading rumors about you!"

Although Zhu Wuyao didn't know what kind of tricks the Juque Sect was playing, he did know that the Juque Sect was definitely playing tricks!

that's enough.

"I still suspect that the Juque Sect is still in a probing phase, as if they haven't yet figured out that I need to rely on 'Ten Thousand Book Reviews' to foresee the future..."

Otherwise, whatever the Juque faction decides to do next, they will first control the tabloids before discussing anything else.

Some time ago, she bought the last pair of cloth shoes from that peddler. This was the "cause," and the "effect" that was ultimately achieved through the butterfly effect was to make Gu Lang realize the crisis.

He was instructed to evacuate the Ink Trace Bookstore from the south before the Giant Gate Sect could act, and to do everything possible to save the lives of everyone in the bookstore.

“It seems that’s really the case…” Song Kezi lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued:

"It seems to be testing the closeness of your connection with the 'outpost' that's sending you messages?"

"If they are closely associated with you, then your 'potential subordinate forces' will be able to distinguish between the real and the fake, and know that you did not go to the southern lands to cause trouble at all."

"But if the contact isn't close enough, it's like they're using your information as bait to lure out your subordinates!"

"And I reckon this is just a trial and error. The other side probably doesn't expect you and your forces to actually fall for it. In short... it's quite inexplicable."

Zhu Wuyao's expression was somewhat indescribable.

Whose power are they trying to lure in?

Mine?

Why would this wise man do something so inexplicable? Even if it was a test, there must have been a better way.
