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

Song Kezi thought of what Zhu Wuyao had done before she was imprisoned in the Pinghe Cauldron, and immediately guessed with great joy that she must have been caught off guard and suffered a mishap.

Of course, Zhu Wuyao probably didn't die.

After all, he's still alive.

Then Zhu Wuyao must have lost!

And the person in front of us must be the array master from the Juque Sect who has always wanted to capture Zhu Wuyao!

He was about to lunge forward when he was blocked by spiritual energy and could not get close. He then heard the woman in front of him ask:

"Oh? You secretly helped me?"

Song Kezi nodded repeatedly and said:

"Mmm!"

"Back when you were still trapped, I guessed... that you wanted to use Zhu Wuyao to deal with the Juque Sect, causing them to suffer heavy losses. So I secretly instigated her to take the opportunity to attack the Juque Sect!"

"And this time, I always felt that the strange movement of the spiritual energy in heaven and earth was not right. I both hoped it was you and was afraid that you would kill me on a whim..."

Song Kezi rambled on and on, recounting his "great achievements".

Fu Shan looked at Song Kezi with a hint of wariness and asked:

"what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Song Kezi immediately slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her face, and cried out:

"She treated me terribly, only giving me leftovers and frequently beating me. During the years I traveled the world with her, I was never well-fed or slept, and Zhu Wuyao didn't like me at all..."

"It's clearly because she's too indecisive, but she always says I'm a bad person. I can't find any value in life with her. Just when my life was in a dark period—you appeared!"

"Back then, Zhu Wuyao wanted to use my intelligence to deal with you, but I—found the meaning of life!"

"You are the wise ruler I have always admired! Observing your actions, I have the utmost respect for you, and I wish I could be by your side immediately to lend you a helping hand, but Zhu Wuyao... Zhu Wuyao... Waaaaah..."

"I have gone through countless hardships to come to your side. If you will not abandon me, I am willing to follow you!"

She was imprisoned in a secret chamber for a thousand years.

Since the beginning of this world, no one has ever been seen to throw such a tantrum in front of her.

Fu Shan was slightly unaccustomed to it.

Judging from his earnest words, he seemed to have suffered a great injustice.

Thinking back to the past, Fu Shan had become suspicious when she learned that Zhu Wuyao had come to assassinate the Juque Sect, especially after she escaped and that Zhu Wuyao was willing to expose her source of information in order to protect the people of Mohen Bookstore.

It is important to understand that one needs to think like a "villain" at every step in order to accurately deduce her situation at the time and make the decision to forcefully break into the Juque Sect.

This contradicts her assessment of Zhu Wuyao.

Actually, there were some things that Fu Shan didn't understand during this encounter, such as—

If she wasn't mistaken, Zhu Wuyao's magic involved countless attempts to find the one and only solution.

So what was the point of throwing out the Pinghe Ding?

If Zhu Wuyao had just kept taking a few more steps forward, it would have exceeded the limits of her control, and the formation would have expanded beyond the southern region of a thousand years ago.

Why go to all that trouble and use the Pinghe Ding to create a shockwave?

Unless the process was affected by some inexplicable or inexplicable influence.

Furthermore, Fu Shan also believed that Zhu Wuyao and this third disciple had a very poor relationship.

Therefore, she could believe Song Kezi's words to some extent.

Fu Shan was always very curious—

Tell me, why didn't Zhu Wuyao kill you?

She raised her palm, and Song Kezi was immediately pulled forward, his neck tightly gripped by Fu Shan's fingers, as if she would snap his neck in the next instant.

In fact, she even suspected that Song Kezi might be a fragment of Zhu Wuyao's Heavenly Dao, only presented in a strange way.

But she soon realized that wasn't the case.

Fu Shan slowly released her hand, her expression somewhat solemn. Only then did she realize that she had been in danger without her knowledge until now.

Lost in thought, she didn't see the fleeting malice in Song Kezi's eyes. He coughed violently, and after a long pause, suddenly laughed heartily:

"Ha! You don't even dare to kill me!"

"I have traveled the world with Zhu Wuyao for many years and know a lot about her. If you want to deal with her, I will do my best to help you."

"I just want to live a better life. In the Star-Picking Tower... everyone is better than me, everyone looks down on me, and everyone bullies me..."

Fu Shan suddenly interrupted his complaint and asked, "Why?"

Upon hearing this, Song Kezi rested her chin on her hand on the table, blinked, and said:

"Because she's a good person, and good people aren't afraid of death sometimes. It's one thing if she wants to sacrifice herself, but she wants to drag me down with her... How can that be allowed?"

“But you are different. You and I are both evil people. We will not die for the sake of all living beings.”

"I just wanted to survive, what did I do wrong?"

The Star-Picking Tower, the Hall of Enlightenment.

After listening to Gu Yiguan's analysis, Zhu Wuyao realized that it seemed that breaking the formation that day did not require taking out the Pinghe Cauldron.

She only needs to keep trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water and hold out a little longer for the expansion of the formation to exceed the limits that Fu Shan can control.

Slowly raise your hand and press it against your forehead.

"Song Kezi..."

"He made a prophecy?"

"Hmm." Zhu Wuyao nodded, then asked, "What exactly is this 'his words become law' thing?"

"Very complicated."

Gu Yiguan had also traveled the world with Song Kezi, and she had also tried to explore the essence of this ability.

However, it was discovered that this so-called "prophecy" actually encompassed many aspects, which even Gu Yiguan could not easily summarize.

If it is chaotic and formless, Song Kezi's words will bring forth a definite result. For example, the "Zhu Wumeng" in the Feidu Lake of the demon race took shape by taking Song Kezi's words as a starting point.

Sometimes it's just pure prophecy, like the leader of the Juque Sect will die, or it will rain soon.

There is also a third type, which is that his "prophecy" comes first, and the world will unfold according to his prophecy. For example, during the sect competition, Song Kezi muttered, "Zhang Huai of Tianluo is playing this trick again. He'll be doomed sooner or later!"

Zhu Wuyao heard this and first became wary of Zhang Huai, which led to the outcome of "the Heavenly Net being exposed" coming true.

This is an example with clear causal logic.

However, in many cases, from the moment Song Kezi made his prophecy until the outcome came true as predicted, almost no one knows how the prophecy influenced the result or what exactly happened.

Gu Yiguan summarized: "Sect Leader Fang once said that he could probably give a clear definition to the formless chaos."

When the outcome of a matter is unclear or before it has fully evolved, Song Kezi's "words" can have an impact on it.

Looking back now, Zhu Wuyao realizes that Song Kezi's deceptions and subtle hints are becoming increasingly clear. After a moment of silence, she says:

"I want to live, and he will only want to live even more."

“Song Kezi’s scheme against me is understandable and reasonable.”

"I got used to his malice and became accustomed to it, so I didn't suspect him. I wasn't vigilant enough and underestimated Fu Shan's abilities. Now, I've brought these two together."
