Xiang Shu had a full plan in his mind as early as he stepped into the front hall.
She had expected Yuan Zhiping to ask this question, but she pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking out:
"Master, although I made up the fact that the magical power of blood is inseparable from Yuan Jing's eyes, Wen Zizhen dare not not believe it."
Yuan Zhiping was not slow in thinking. When he heard this, he immediately understood the meaning: "You mean... he will be afraid of me and destroy everything?"
"good."
Xiang Shen smiled lightly and said, "Wen Zi really thought he was hiding it very well before. You could only be led by him, and he would naturally go too far.
Now that you have revealed your purpose, he is afraid that you will destroy Jingjing's eyes and destroy his plan, so he will definitely be afraid and restrain himself.
If what I have predicted is correct, Wen Zizhen will send a message in a few moments to negotiate with you on a different date. "
"really?"
Yuan Zhiping was dubious when he suddenly saw a servant hurried in to inform him.
"Master, the City Lord's Mansion has sent someone here to convey a message, saying that I will invite you to have a chat at the Fairy Dust Restaurant tomorrow."
Yuan Zhiping was stunned on the spot. It took him a moment to recover, and he waved his sleeves to let the servants retreat.
He turned to look at Xiang Shu, his face full of surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you...are really a god! I admire you!"
Xiang Shu smiled faintly and said, "Master Yuan's compliments are just a little bit of his ability to guess people's hearts, and they cannot be put on the stage."
When Yuan Zhiping heard that the other party still called him "Yuan Family Master", he knew that she did not want to get closer to him, and felt regretful.
Soon, he adjusted his mood, and then said with a smile: "Friend Li, what you said is wrong. If I were half as capable as you, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams at night."
He flattered me lightly.
Xiang Shen had a faint smile on his face and didn't respond.
Yuan Zhiping couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this.
She is really a strange woman who is as calm as a chrysanthemum. I really don’t know what could possibly move her in this world.
He gathered his thoughts and finally stopped thinking wildly. His face was slightly straightened and he said:
"Fellow Daoist Li, as you say. During tomorrow's negotiations, doesn't Wenzi really want Jing'er to go to the tomb of Emperor Tianlong with him?"
Xiang Shen nodded lightly, "I studied the ancient books of your mansion and discovered that the tomb of Emperor Tianlong is actually very likely to be related to the ancestors of your Yuan family."
"What?!"
Yuan Zhiping was shocked when he heard this, "Friend Li Dao, you have really studied it clearly."
Xiang Shu said with an affirmative look on his face, "Of course it's true. The matter is so important. How could I lie to you?"
Of course, she made this up casually.
There is still a question mark as to whether the tomb of Emperor Tianlong exists, and it is even more unfounded if it has anything to do with the Yuan family.
The reason why she said this was just to reassure Yuan Zhi. After all, with her going there, Yuan Jing's life is safe.
Yuan Zhiping has long believed in Xiang Shu.
When he heard these words, he was shocked for a moment, and then became excited.
"So, if Jing'er follows Wen Zizhen, it may not be a bad thing. There may even be...an opportunity?"
"It's exactly what the master said."
Xiang Shu smiled and nodded, "Not only that, Wenzi really needs Yuan Jing as a guide, and he will keep her safe all the way. The only tricky thing is getting out."
When Yuan Zhiping heard this, his excitement suddenly cooled down and he said in a deep voice: "What you said is true. Wen Zi will definitely silence him after he finds the treasure he wants. Jing'er must escape before then. I wonder if you can do anything about it." ?」
This time, Xiang Shu shook his head directly, "No one knows what is going on in the tomb of Emperor Tianlong. It is still too early to say how to escape. But..."
Having said this, a trace of hesitation flashed across Xiang Shu's face.
Yuan Zhiping saw it and asked directly: "Friend Li, don't have any doubts. No matter whether the method you said is feasible or not, it won't be a big deal if you listen to it."
Xiang Shu hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, "That's all, I'm not afraid that the Yuan family master will misunderstand, so just tell me.
The head of the family also knows that I am quite knowledgeable in Shenfa.
And I am good at hiding formations. If Yuan Jing and I go together, our chances of escaping will be greatly improved. "
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Zhiping's eyes widened immediately, "Fellow Taoist Li, you..."
Xiang Shuo didn't wait for Yuan Zhiping to finish what he said, and then continued: "I also know that if I say this, the family master may suspect that I covet the tomb of Emperor Tianlong and do it deliberately.
It's just that the situation is urgent right now, and I don't have to make many detours. "
"Fellow Daoist Li, what are you talking about?!"
Yuan Zhiping immediately became anxious, "If it weren't for you, fellow Taoist, my Yuan family would have been completely wiped out by Wen Zizhen, and how could we have reached the stage of negotiation.
I, Yuan Zhiping, keep your kindness to my Yuan family in my heart and dare not forget it for a moment. How can I suspect that you have different intentions? "
Xiang Shu saw Yuan Zhiping getting angry, but he was not annoyed at all, and just smiled meaningfully.
"Why should I treat Yuan Jing and your Yuan family so well? Does the head of the Yuan family really have no doubts in his heart?"
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Zhiping's angry face instantly froze.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a moment. Yuan Zhiping suddenly relaxed, took the initiative to break the silence, and spoke sincerely:
"I dare not deceive fellow Taoists. I do have doubts in my heart. But as the saying goes, the deeds do not matter the heart, and the heart is not perfect.
Maybe you really have an ulterior motive, fellow Taoist, but it is also true that you saved my Yuan family from danger.
If Jing'er can go to the tomb of Emperor Tianlong with you, it will be her blessing. "
The first half of this sentence was easy to say, but the meaning of the last sentence was clearly on the surface. He could see that Xiang Shu was not simple.
Xiang Shen naturally heard it and smiled helplessly, "It seems that I feel too comfortable living in your mansion."
Yuan Zhiping was shocked when he heard this.
He had just made some guesses before, but now that he has heard what Fellow Daoist Li said, is he admitting it?
How many times did Old Taoist Huang Quan and the city lord take action? Sure enough, it was all Taoist Li who secretly took action to resolve it?
Yuan Zhiping's mind was a little confused for a moment, and a hint of joy emerged in his heart.
Being able to deal with the old Taoist Huangquan without falling behind, fellow Taoist Li's strength is not inferior to him, and having her protect Jing'er, that would be the best.
"Master Yuan, please bring Yuan Jing with you for tomorrow's negotiation."
Xiang Shu returned to the topic.
Yuan Zhiping was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Isn't it more dangerous for Jing'er to come forward at this time?"
"I know that the master of the house loves his daughter very much."
Xiang Shuo looked across the house and glanced at Yuan Jing, who was locked in a quiet room in the backyard with an anxious face, then turned around and smiled slightly:
"If Yuan Jing doesn't show up, Wenzi will really not feel at ease.
Moreover, if I want to accompany Yuan Jing to the tomb of Emperor Tianlong without making Wenzi really suspicious, I also need Yuan Jing's help. "
Yuan Zhiping became more and more confused as he listened, "Fellow Taoist Li, I understand what you are saying.
But you are such a big living person, and your cultivation level is not as high as Wenzi Zhenzhen. It is impossible to escape the detection of spiritual consciousness. What help can Jing'er do? "
"The head of the family doesn't have to worry about it anymore."
Xiang Shen smiled mysteriously, "My master only needs to take Yuan Jing to Xianchen Restaurant tomorrow, and I will make my own arrangements for everything else.
Before that, don't tell Yuan Jing that I'm going to the Tomb of Emperor Tianlong with her, otherwise it will hinder tomorrow's plans. "
"Okay, I've written it down."
Yuan Zhiping nodded readily. Since he chose to trust Xiang Shu, he would not hesitate at all.
The conversation between the two came to an end.
Xiang Shu had nothing to do, so he went back to the guest house and continued to temper his body.
Yuan Zhiping immediately ran to see his daughter.
After Yuan Jing was released, she complained about her father.
"My daughter is not a person who is greedy for life and death. How can you lock me up, dad? Do you know how worried your daughter is?"
"Haha, of course I know, Jing'er is the best girl in the world."
Yuan Zhiping laughed heartily, "I restricted your movements because I was afraid that you would be young and impulsive."
Yuan Jing saw that her father's face was not gloomy, and his expression was slightly relaxed: "Dad, you look good.
But have things turned around? "
Yuan Zhiping originally wanted to say, "It's all thanks to fellow Taoist Li", but remembering Xiang Shu's instructions, he immediately changed his words:
"Wen Shuichang has just left. Tomorrow you and I will go to Xianchen Restaurant to negotiate with Wen Zizhen.
No matter what the outcome is, you and I, father and daughter, will face it together! "
Yuan Jing immediately nodded solemnly.
That night, Xiang Shu came to the city lord's mansion again.
Wenzi was in the real study room, discussing tomorrow's matters with his close aides.
Xiang Shu stood in mid-air outside the window, looked at the staff member, and raised his hand to the center of his eyebrows.
A wisp of understanding immediately floated out from the center of his eyebrows, and wrapped in the power of deceiving the sky, it flew silently into the study room and disappeared into the sea of consciousness of the staff.
The staff's cultivation has just begun in the elixir-forming stage, and their souls are weak. They are no match for them and will be instantly annihilated.
Wen Zizhen, who was sitting across from him, didn't realize that his staff was killed under his nose.
He snorted coldly, "Did Yuan Zhiping hit it by mistake, or did he get the wind from somewhere? Did you really find out clearly?"
Xiang Shen had just finished absorbing the memories of his staff. When he heard this, he shook his head and said, "Sir, why do you have to worry about this matter? Tomorrow's negotiation is the most important thing."
"You're used to trying to excuse yourself."
Wen Zizhen sneered, "Then tell me about tomorrow's negotiations. If you don't tell me, you know what will happen."
The "Staff" trembled and spoke quickly: "Sir, if we want to use that magical power to find objects, we can only make Yuan Jing do it willingly and cannot be forced.
If I were that little girl Yuan Jing, I would definitely make conditions for you to let the Yuan family leave Xitian City. "
"Oh, what a beautiful idea she has!"
Wen Zizhen's eyes flashed coldly, "It's just a pill, I have many ways to control it."
"Although your master's soul-stirring secret technique is powerful, I have read a few words in a miscellaneous book. People like Yuan Jing who have returned to their ancestors are born with powerful souls, and I am afraid they are not so easy to control."
"Staff" added, Fumiko's face immediately darkened, "Is there such a thing?"
The "staff officer" said: "I'm just a hearsay, but it's a matter of great importance. It's better for adults to believe what they have and not what they don't."
When Wen Zizhen heard this, he finally looked at his staff, "Listening to what you said, is there any other way?"
The "staff officer" smiled flatteringly: "Sir, I think you can let the Yuan family leave.
Yuan Jing is a young and impulsive woman who attaches great importance to friendship and does not want to implicate innocent people.
The villain heard that there was a female casual cultivator living in Yuan's house, who was Yuan Jing's close friend on the road. "
When Wen Zizhen heard this, he immediately understood something, and a rare smile appeared on his face:
"That's right, there's a reward!"
