What I didn’t expect was that the fox demon Sun Yue actually asked, “Nangong Ling, what do you think?”
Nangong Ling hesitated for a moment and then said, "I have three strategies: best, middle and worst."
"The best strategy is for us to stop fighting immediately and each of us take a magic box back to the headquarters, and let the Elders continue to study the magic box. This suggestion is in our favor, but we won't get any credit at all."
The fox nodded and said, "Go on."
Nangong Ling said: "The middle strategy is to expand the confrontation, request the headquarters to send more people, and solve the magic box here. However, it is a middle strategy, and we may not be able to gain much merit..."
Nangong Ling meant that if the headquarters sent more people, the fox demon Sun Yue might not still be in charge. Even if she could get the merit, it would only be a slight advantage.
Seeing that no one was talking, Nangong Ling continued, "As for the worst plan, we suppress the news of the magic box, and each of our four parties will carry a magic box and continue to fight. If we really can't handle it, we will notify the headquarters."
Sun Yue nodded and said, "How can you say it's a bad strategy? This is clearly the best strategy. Besides, I also believe that Mr. Wu will not choose what you call the best strategy. Am I right?"
When I frowned slightly, Sun Yue said, "Master Zhiyuan, please explain to Mr. Wu the result of our complete withdrawal from this confrontation."
Zhiyuan said: "In the first two rounds, both of you will be deemed to have drawn. At the beginning of the third round, Xuanjingsi has already captured a transformed snake, while you have made no progress. Now both sides withdraw from the game, and you will be declared the loser."
Ye Jin shouted angrily: "Who the hell made this rule? It's obviously biased towards Xuan Jing Si!"
Zhiyuan said calmly: "This is a rule jointly set by the Council of Elders, and approved by the Nine-Layered Pavilion's Donor Shen Lin, so..."
I interrupted him and said, "We agree to stay."
"I knew Mr. Wu would make a wise choice." The fox demon Sun Yue smiled and said, "Nangong Ling, we are obviously only three parties, how can you say we are four parties?"
Nangong Ling said: "Madam Wu, Master Zhiyuan, and Mr. Wu each have a magic box in their hands, so they are naturally counted as three parties."
Nangong Ling paused deliberately and said, "According to our prior agreement, as long as Master Zhiyuan checks the progress, the magic box in our hands should be handed over to Lu Xiaoying. In this way, Lu Xiaoying is the fourth party."
As soon as Nangong Ling finished speaking, Ye Jin immediately became furious and said, "Bullshit! Why did you hand over the magic box to Lu Xiaoying before the time was up?"
"It stinks, it stinks..." Nangong Ling deliberately put her hand under her nose and fanned it twice, "You should ask Master Zhiyuan about the rules of the match, he knows much more than I do."
Zhiyuan said: "According to the rules, I should have checked the progress after two days, but things happened suddenly and we opened the ban first, so the Xuanjing Division has the right to request a replacement. Of course, if they are willing to continue guarding the magic box for two days, they can still..."
Nangong Ling interrupted Zhiyuan before he could finish, "But we don't want to continue guarding the magic box. Of course, if Mr. Wu chooses to withdraw from the arena, we will also support it."
Before I could say anything, Lu Xiaoying took a step forward and said, "We've got the magic box!"
I said anxiously: "Xiaoying, you guys..."
Lu Xiaoying waved his hand at me: "Don't forget why we are participating in the match."
All I can say is: "Be careful."
Nangong Ling smiled slightly, turned to Zhiyuan and said, "Since the confrontation has been readjusted, we request to merge with our peripheral companions."
"No!" I said in a deep voice, "Lu Xiaoying's team already has few people. It's not fair to us if they combine their forces."
Zhiyuan nodded and said, "It is indeed unfair to merge the troops. I think it is better to..."
Nangong Ling said: "Not allowing us to merge is truly unfair. We are all sorcerers, so we should naturally fight in the way of the sorcery. Shen Fengyin brought a large number of firearms into the arena, which is obviously against the rules of the sorcery. She can use firearms, so why can't we merge our people?"
"Of course..." Nangong Ling changed the subject and said, "If the master allows us to use firearms of the same quantity and power, we don't have to merge them; or, the master can take away Shen Fengyin's firearms."
Upon hearing this, Monk Shi couldn't help but get furious and said, "Nangong Ling, don't go too far!"
"Too much?" Nangong Ling looked at Monk Shi coldly, "When you replaced me with a dog, did you ever think of it as 'too much'? When you openly humiliated me, did anyone ever say 'too much'?"
Nangong Ling stared at Monk Shi: "I told you, I will make you regret it."
Monk Shi was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You have the guts to come at me and attack my friend, what kind of guts are you?"
Nangong Ling said in a fierce voice: "Aren't you very loyal? Aren't you willing to sacrifice your life for loyalty? I am going to attack your friend and make you live a life worse than death. However, if you commit suicide now, I can not attack them! I want to see if you are willing to die for your friends."
"You..." Monk Shi grabbed the long stick and was about to attack.
Ye Jin and I simultaneously held down Monk Shi: "Don't be impulsive!"
Nangong Ling sneered: "You don't even dare to die, and you still say you're willing to risk your life for your friends."
Without waiting for us to speak, Nangong Ling turned to Zhiyuan and said, "Master, how do you think the case should be judged?"
"This..." Zhiyuan hesitated for a while before saying, "Lu Xiaoying's side will hand over the firearms, and Prajna Temple will send ten good fighters for Lu Xiaoying to command. In this way, the power of both sides should be enough to balance."
Lu Xiaoying said: "I disagree. The Xuan Jing Division can join forces, but we need to increase the number of firearms."
Nangong Ling sneered and said, "You guys are going to add more firearms. Isn't that unfair?"
Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I agree with Lu Xiaoying's request, but you can't add too many weapons."
Shen Fengyin said: "No problem. We will never add more than three firearms."
Zhiyuan nodded without waiting for Nangong Ling to object, "Okay, I'll give you two hours. After two hours, you can hand over the magic box."
The fox demon Sun Yue was obviously very satisfied with Nangong Ling's performance. She gave her a thumbs up with appreciation and said, "Sister, you are indeed very smart. Some people are just blind. How about this? When you return to Xuan Jing Division, come and marry me, okay? I like smart and beautiful girls like you."
Nangong Ling blushed and said, "If Brother Yifan didn't dislike me..."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of? If Brother Yifan dares to reject you, I will be the first one to disagree."
Nangong Ling whispered: "Then I will call you 'sister' first..."
"Good sister!" The two of them sang in unison as if no one was around, making Monk Shi so angry that he trembled all over, and a vicious look flashed in Sun Xiaomei's eyes.
I can see that after the death of the Spirit Snake Sun Yan, Nangong Ling has replaced her and become the second-in-command of the Sun family.
According to the rules of the Nianhua Sect, Sun Yifan can only marry another wife after one of his wives dies, and there are countless women waiting to marry Sun Yifan. It is better for Sun Yue to win over Nangong Ling than to bring in a woman who is against her.
Sun Xiaomei said at this time: "It seems that the peach blossom Gu in Nangong's body has not been solved yet?"
Sun Yue said disapprovingly, "He's just a fool with no vision. Just kill him. It's no big deal. Sister Nangong wouldn't be so stupid as to put a peach blossom Gu on someone and not leave a way out, right?"
Nangong Ling sneered, "How could it be? If I die, he will surely die; if he dies, I can live well. Fortunately, I had a backup plan in mind, otherwise, being tied up by such a person for the rest of my life would be truly unfortunate!"
I said in a deep voice: "Nangong Ling, have you said enough?"
Nangong Ling said coldly: "Why shouldn't I say it?"
Lu Xiaoying said, "Nangong Ling, you actually don't know what love is."
Nangong Ling said sternly: "Who said you don't know! How much have I paid for Shi Bucong, and how has he treated me?"
Lu Xiaoying pointed at Guan Qingyan and said, "For Wu Zhao, Guan Qingyan was willing to give up the Guan family business and start from scratch to work for Wu Zhao. This is love."
Lu Xiaoying pointed at Xiao Baitang again and said, "Xiao Baitang was willing to jump into the Man-Eating Well for Wu Zhao, risking her life. This is love."
"And you, other than torturing Shi Heshang in a self-righteous way, forcing him to give up this and that, and flirting with different men in order to test Shi Bucong's sincerity, have you ever considered his feelings? The love between you two is only your own love."
Nangong Ling sneered, "Don't Guan Qingyan and Xiao Baitang want to monopolize Wu Zhao? Go ask them!"
Guan Qingyan said expressionlessly: "I believe Wu Zhao will make a choice. No matter what decision he makes, I will not get entangled."
Xiao Baitang blushed slightly: "I also believe in Brother Wu Zhao. No matter what choice he makes, as long as he has me in his heart, or will remember me in the future, it is enough. I will not make things difficult for Brother Wu Zhao."
Nangong Ling sneered at Lu Xiaoying and said, "Then let him choose now! Don't think I don't know you have this idea. I want to see who he will choose. Maybe, after he makes his choice, someone will cry."
I said coldly: "Who I choose is none of your business!"
I remained calm on the surface, but I couldn't help but feel a tremor of pain in my heart. I was hiding from that day, but I also knew that day would come sooner or later. When the day really came, what would I do
Nangong Ling smiled faintly and said, "Of course it's none of my business. But there's one thing I can't help but say. You want to monopolize Wu Zhao, now's your chance. As long as the other two people can't leave the manor, won't Wu Zhao be yours?"
When I turned to look at Nangong Ling, murderous intent flashed in my eyes. The latter's face turned pale and she took a few steps back. When she stood firm, she smiled again: "Why, are you scared? Afraid that one of them will kill you? Haha..." (To be continued)
