“You!—” Xu Qingya felt her heart tremble so much that she finally suppressed it. She took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Chu… your method is too… too… outrageous, isn’t it? It’s just a spiritual medicine with a market value of no more than 100,000 spiritual coins, but you used natural materials and treasures worth at least 5 million spiritual coins to prepare it… Don’t you think this is too absurd?”
Chu Tianxiao said slowly: "But this is the fact."
Xu Qingya was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yes, that is indeed the truth... But Qingya wants to know why... Otherwise, she will be unable to sleep at night..."
Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly and did not answer. He could not say that this matter was firstly a whim, secondly a backup plan, and thirdly a special preparation after knowing the old man's identity... All these factors combined together to form such a weird fact now...
But no matter what, the facts are the facts, which means that this confrontation is over.
The old man lost, and it was not unfair for him to lose, because any normal "old man" would never understand the prodigal's thinking, let alone the true meaning of "prodigal"...
In this case, how can you not lose when facing a prodigal son whose intelligence is almost as good as a demon
"Okay, now let's summarize."
"Qin Yun, you said earlier that the elixir was made by you, but now it seems that you can't afford these precious things even if you sell them... And I have already asked you a question, and you categorically confirmed this statement, so you are lying."
"Perhaps most of what you said before is true, but... as long as this one point is false, everything is settled."
Chu Tianxiao looked at Qin Yun and said, "Who is this person with ulterior motives? I think it's obvious, right?"
"The saint has a discerning eye, and will not be deceived again and again."
Xu Qingya looked at "Qin Yun" with a cold gaze.
Xue Yan and Lu Meir blocked the entrance of the cave, both looking at "Qin Yun" with murderous intent.
"My little disciple! This is impossible. Let's fight our way out!"
"... Teacher, at this point, can we still fight our way out?" Qin Yun thought he had seen the dawn, but he never expected to return to darkness again. He thought he could eat soft rice and embark on the road of kingship, so much so that he completely abandoned the one he had always loved in his heart, but he never expected that what he got in return was still just failure... and a killing situation!
His fighting spirit is...very little left.
"Idiot! I'm still alive! You're still alive too! Why can't you make a comeback?"
"But teacher... let alone whether you and I can succeed in breaking through now, even if we can, after this, you... will definitely fall into a deep sleep..."
"..." Old Bai was silent for a moment, and then he roared hysterically, "No! No! I won't give up! My little disciple, I will burn my soul and merge with yours temporarily, and then I can lead you out! During this period, you must cooperate with me and not lose your fighting spirit. After that, you must work hard to collect natural treasures to wake me up! Remember? Think about the road to becoming a king, my little disciple, you can't give up! You are the son of destiny, and you are destined to be with me. What is happening now is just a setback, not the end!"
These words seemed to awaken the last bit of wildness in Qin Yun. However, just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to break out with all his strength, Chu Tianxiao's long and leisurely voice rang out again. Just one sentence was enough to make Qin Yun collapse!
But then I heard Chu Tianxiao say slowly.
"Qin Yun, I'm too lazy to guess your thoughts and process, but your goal is to use women as a matchmaker to infiltrate the Mengling Sect and seize the supreme opportunity. Is this true?"
If this question had been asked before, "Qin Yun" would have definitely retorted, but at this moment, he didn't care and shouted directly: "So what?"
"Nothing... I just feel..." Chu Tianxiao's voice suddenly became extremely cold, "Your sister's true love..."
"All fed to the dogs!"
After these words were spoken, "Qin Yun" trembled all over, his consciousness was in turmoil, and the weak old grandfather immediately lost control and became the master of Qin Yun.
Chu Tianxiao sneered: "Surprised? What's so hard about this?"
Just listen to him speak slowly.
"Practitioners fight against the heavens and against people, and they must be clear-minded. Otherwise, they will be plagued by demons."
"Before, you fought with me several times, and each time you were defeated miserably. You should have been devoured by your inner demons long ago, but that is not the case..."
Chu Tianxiao stared at Qin Yun and said, "Your inner demon has not erupted until now. This is obviously not because of your strong will, but because of external suppression... So, have you ever thought about what price the caster has to pay to suppress your inner demon with external force that is strong enough to suppress it?"
Chu Tianxiao said coldly: "This is obvious common sense, don't you know it?"
"No! It's you... you haven't even thought about it!"
"You accepted all of this, feeling completely at peace with yourself, without even the slightest bit of trembling! You probably think you are the so-called son of destiny, and that you can become a king, so you think that everyone's help to you is justified?"
Chu Tianxiao looked at Qin Yun mockingly, looking at his face which was gradually showing extremely complicated emotions, and snorted coldly: "Ridiculous!"
"In this world, no one is born to owe anyone anything!"
"She owes you, and with this secret method, she can more than repay it, but what about you owe her? Think about it, even I know that you and Qin Jiaojiao supported each other in the past, and she appreciated you back then... After you became a loser three years ago, who has been encouraging you, supporting you, and protecting you? Without her, do you think you could have survived three years after becoming a loser with your arrogant and domineering personality? Qin Yong alone is enough to kill you!"
"You haven't repaid the old favors, and you've received new favors. However, you seem to have never faced these things squarely. You accepted the great benefits with peace of mind, but in the blink of an eye, you threw the girl who had given so much for you behind your back for the so-called ambition of the king. You used extremely despicable means to climb up the social ladder with your whole heart?"
Chu Tianxiao's mockery became stronger and stronger, while Qin Yun's expression became more and more struggling...
"I have also heard of a story in the Great Zhou Dynasty about a poor scholar who abandoned his wife and married another man after becoming successful. However, they... are not as good as you in tactics and schemes, and are even worse than you in being ungrateful, heartless, and shameless!"
"First there was Mu Liuling, then there was Qin Jiaojiao. You are really amazing, Qin Yun. Do you think that all women who have a legitimate relationship with you and have feelings for you must devote themselves to you regardless of the cost, and must be willing to die for you without regrets as if they owe you a debt for eight lifetimes? Are you still thinking in your heart that even if you use such despicable means and commit such a shameless betrayal, Qin Jiaojiao should forgive you and understand you, otherwise she is ignorant of the times? Doesn't understand her duty? Is she unworthy of being the woman you call the son of destiny?"
"If that's the case, I'll still say the same thing."
Chu Tianxiao repeated, his voice even colder.
"Qin Jiaojiao's true feelings were all thrown away!"
