Nimble Snake and Wu Chijin were speechless on the way back to the Hundred Leaves Book House. Although they had many things to say to each other, they couldn't say a single word at this moment.
Spirit Snake was speechless because he knew that Wu Chijin had been working hard for the whole day and had suddenly discovered such a shocking change. He believed that Wu Chijin needed to have a good sleep now and recover his energy before facing these problems tomorrow. He did not want to add to Wu Chijin's burden at this moment.
In addition, although Nimble Snake had been living on Crescent Moon Mountain for many years and did not know much about the matters at the foot of the mountain, seeing this storm come so violently, let alone feeling sorry for his disciple Wu Chijin, could he really turn a deaf ear to this storm and continue to return to Tian Feng as if nothing had happened?
However, Nimble Snake had to think about how he could help Wu Chijin. He knew that this disciple didn't want to trouble him, so he had to understand the situation first before discussing with Wu Chijin how to help. Otherwise, he would become a burden to Wu Chijin.
Wu Chijin was speechless because after going around in circles, he had returned to the point where he knew nothing about the entire situation. Now, there were thousands of questions in his mind. He had a feeling that this storm could not be resolved by himself or the Crescent Country alone. Perhaps no one could stay out of it, from the Crescent Mountain to the other countries.
However, he couldn't figure out any of these clues at the moment. He had no opponent's goal and no way to deal with it. He didn't even know what the other party wanted. At this moment, talking to his master was just aimless speculation and speculation, which would only increase the trouble of the two. Therefore, he thought it was better to ask his master to rest first and wait until tomorrow to sort out some clues.
When they arrived at the door of the Hundred Leaves Bookstore, Wu Chijin was about to kowtow to the spirit snake when the spirit snake suddenly asked,"What do you think of Luo Xiaoyuan?" Was what he said just now true?”
Wu Chijin took a deep breath and quickly recalled every word that Luo Xiaoyuan had just said, every expression in her eyes, and every body movement. Then, he said seriously and firmly,"I think what he said is true." Since the first time I saw this child, my main impression of him was sincerity and kindness. That's why I went up to Tian Feng to ask Master for instructions. Just now, when he was honest with us, his eyes still revealed sincerity and kindness, so I believed him.”
"In that case, I have an idea. The fact that this child is the third orphan is already there. We can't let him leave our sight just like that. If our opponents find out about this one day, we can't guarantee that he won't become a problem for us in the future. Therefore, I want to take this child as my disciple.”
Nimble Snake told Luo Xiaoyuan what he thought because Nimble Snake knew that Wu Chijin might have the same intention. However, Wu Chijin had never accepted disciples, and he would definitely be busy with trivial matters in the future. Wu Chijin could not spend too much effort to teach this disciple, so it was better for him to help Wu Chijin take on this responsibility first.
Wu Chijin had just heard his master and Luo Xiaoyuan talking about taking him as a master in the Ten Thousand Books. He already had an idea in his heart. However, Wu Chijin had other plans, so he immediately stopped his master from talking to Luo Xiaoyuan. Now that his master mentioned this matter again, he could tell his master about his plans.
"Master, I might have to fight with you about taking Luo Xiaoyuan as your disciple.”
When Spirit Snake heard what Wu Chijin said, he assumed that Wu Chijin was reluctant to accept such a young disciple at his age. He smiled and said to Wu Chijin,"Don't worry about exhausting Master. There are hundreds of brothers and sisters on the Heavenward Peak. If each of them teaches him a martial art, this child might die in his lifetime."
I really like this child. Don't worry about tiring me out. On the contrary, you've never taken in disciples and are usually busy with work. Don't delay each other when the time comes.”
"Master, to be honest, I really like this child. However, if it was just because I like him, I would never dare to fight with Master for this child. There are actually many reasons why I want to take this child as my disciple.”Wu Chijin said meaningfully.
"Tell me." Hearing Wu Chijin's words, Nimble Snake's interest was piqued. Wu Chijin had never been willing to take in disciples, so why was he so interested in taking in disciples at this moment? He was even willing to snatch disciples from his master.
Spirit Snake did not feel any displeasure in his heart. Instead, he was gratified that the master and disciple had the same thoughts. Moreover, he believed that with Wu Chijin's proud personality, he must have seen more advantages or potential in Luo Xiaoyuan that he could not.
" First of all, in the face of this storm, I need a helper, a helper that I can confide in. However, the enemy's spies might be in the Crescent Country or even the Crescent Mountain. Thus, I'd rather conservatively withdraw my trust in them. If this storm doesn't stop in three to five years, I think this child will probably be useful in another five years.
Secondly, I need a helper who can seamlessly cooperate with me in terms of aptitude and ability. Whether it's martial arts, spells, immortal power, and other aspects, there's no suitable person in the Crescent Country at the moment. Although they all have their strengths, they also have their shortcomings. I want to customize a suitable person who can combine my master's top martial arts and my resourcefulness at the same time.
In addition, no matter what, the threat of the Three Solitary Ones on this child is still there. If I let him follow my master to the Sky Peak to learn, it will be too close to the Heaven-connecting Stone. I don't dare to take this risk. If I let him follow me, first of all, there will be a mountain protection seal and six layers of guards between him and the Crescent Mountain. Second, I will be bound to the same fate with him. If I feel that I can't control him, at least I have a way to stop him.”
Wu Chijin's so-called shared life incantation was to bind the life and death aura of two people together through a finger incantation. Once the caster died, the other person would also die at the same time. Only the caster could undo this incantation, and from then on, the two of them would live and die together.
Wu Chijin's action was to control the risk of San Jue Gu for the last time. If he really lost control one day, he had to personally clean up the mess.
Nimble Snake couldn't object to any of Wu Chijin's three reasons. In fact, he agreed and supported them even more. This was especially true for the third reason. Nimble Snake had the same thoughts as Wu Chijin. Before Wu Chijin had said anything, Nimble Snake had also wanted to form the same fate seal with the child.
Spirit Snake looked at this disciple quietly and said calmly,"Master is already old. It is only appropriate for Master to shoulder this responsibility. You are the key to protecting Crescent Mountain. How can you snatch this child's responsibility?" If the worst-case scenario happened, who would be the one to shoulder the burden of Crescent Mountain?”
However, Wu Chijin's eyes revealed incomparable determination as he slowly said word by word,"Let the disciples choose." Master, only with you behind me can I fall without worry. You have always been my backer.”
Nimble Snake knew that Wu Chijin would not waver in his filial piety to his master and his commitment to Crescent Mountain. He could only reluctantly reply," Since you have said so, I will not argue with you. However, since you have mentioned that you want him to have my martial arts, then let me teach him. It is reasonable for grandmaster to teach his grand-disciple martial arts, right?"”
"Of course, but there's no hurry to accept him as a disciple. I have to be 100% sure that what this child said is true before I can rest assured. Moreover, his father has agreed.
Moreover, from this child's personality, his family should love him very much. At present, it seems that his father is not his biological father but his adoptive father. This kinship is even more precious. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him when the time comes.”Wu Chijin's words revealed that he truly cared and loved this child.
"Of course, you're thoughtful." Nimble Snake thought to himself, Wu Chijin is indeed meticulous and calm. Even though this child has so many expectations and ideas, he still doesn't forget to confirm the authenticity of this child's words.
"Therefore, this disciple has a request for master. I'll have to trouble master to help. Just now, Luo Xiaoyuan mentioned that his father, Luo Baiwei, had also come to the Crescent Country with the Five Beast Kingdom's diplomatic mission. I would like to ask Master to help me find out about his situation. The most important thing is to find out if anyone else knows about this child's Three Unique Life Providence.
If Master thinks that everything is fine, then please invite his father to the Crescent Moon Kingdom secretly. I will tell him myself that I will take Luo Xiaoyuan as my disciple. Don't reveal anything before this.
Here, I have to accompany Master first. If I snatch your disciple, Master will have to help me. However, as the master of the Shuli Pavilion in the Crescent Country, everyone knows that if I do this publicly, I'm afraid that it will cause people with ill intentions to take advantage of it. Moreover, I can't let more people know about this matter, so I can only trouble Master to help me.”
"Alright, no problem. No matter what, this child is still half my disciple. I'm very happy to do this. Alright, you must be tired after a busy day. Go back and rest. I'll take care of this tomorrow morning. You don't have to come and greet me. Go do what you need to do.”After the two of them bid farewell, they went back to rest.
However, this night was destined to be a sleepless night. Although Wu Chijin, Luo Xiaoyuan, and Spirit Snake were lying on the bed with their own thoughts, they could not sleep.
The problem with Wu Chijin was that he did not know what to think. After Luo Xiaoyuan, the only clue, was cut off, all the scenes had to be reconstructed. However, the problem was that he did not have a single clue in his mind. Other than the Whitty carriage, the Midnight Song, and Asura Manor, he knew nothing about this matter. What was even more worrying was that they might just be the enemy's pawns. The real killing move might still be hidden.
Luo Xiaoyuan's problem was Wu Chijin's solemn expression before he left. That gaze made Luo Xiaoyuan afraid of the future. He had even used his last weapon,"confession," and there was nothing else he could do. At this moment, he had already made up his mind to escape from this place at dawn. He knew that his father was close at hand. As long as he left the Crescent Country, his father would be outside the Crescent Country.
Nimble Snake's question was, could Lianpo eat now that he was old? Although he was extremely confident in his martial arts, Nimble Snake knew very well that martial arts was not the answer to all problems. Strategy, courage, vision, and decisiveness were all the keys to solving problems. Could an old man who had not stepped into the mortal world for decades help Crescent Moon Mountain or Black Gold, or become a burden to them?
