Chapter 6
This idea is very interesting.
I'm free anyway, so why not give it a try? So what should I do?
It is actually very simple and does not even require much effort. For the inner demons at this stage, words are the best weapon.
Xiao Mo saw Chu Jinglan putting down the medicine, giving instructions, and preparing to leave, so he immediately said, "Have you finished talking? Let's go."
After he said this, Chu Jinglan stopped moving forward.
As soon as Xiao Mo saw his appearance, he knew he had made the right bet.
After spending these days together, Xiao Mo knew how wary Chu Jinglan was of his inner demon. Provoking Chu Jinglan didn't work for others, but Xiao Mo was different!
If he says go east, Chu Jinglan will definitely go west. If he wants to beat the dog, Chu Jinglan will go for the chicken. He is the one who will never do what you want, he is so rebellious.
But a rebellious character can also be used as a weapon, just like Xiao Mo now.
He was in a hurry to let Chu Jinglan go, and Chu Jinglan would feel like a cat.
Chu Jinglan has not yet learned to speak directly in his consciousness. When there are outsiders present, he will not talk to his inner demon, lest he be thought of as a madman talking to the air. After hearing the words of his inner demon, Chu Jinglan thought to himself: What does he want to do again?
Chu Jinglan was in doubt. Su Baimo noticed that he had calmed down and blinked: "Brother Jinglan?"
Chu Jinglan was shocked: "I..."
Xiao Mo interrupted again: "Hey, hurry up and leave. Have you said everything you need to say?"
Chu Jinglansi finished her words without pausing: "I haven't been here for a long time. I'm going to check the surrounding environment outside. You stay with him first. I'll be back soon."
Chu Jinglan finished his words quickly and walked out. Su Baimo did not suspect anything and rushed to the bed to observe Dai Zisheng who was still unconscious.
Chu Jinglan walked out a little, turned around and looked at the black mist ball that came out with him, and his tone dropped to winter: "What do you want to do?"
Xiao Tuanzi said leisurely in the air: "I don't want to do anything."
"You knew he was a disciple of the Illusion Sword Sect, but you didn't bring him back to the Chu family. It was simply because you didn't know the origin of the scars on his body and were afraid that getting too close to him would cause more trouble. After all, you already have enough troubles." Xiao Mo, "You want to leave, and I think it's appropriate. Why do you question my kindness?"
Can the inner demon have good intentions? Chu Jinglan twitched the corner of his mouth sarcastically, but his heart sank, because what the inner demon said before was right.
Although this newly born inner demon behaved in an irritating and disgusting manner from the beginning, it did not have the characteristics of an ordinary inner demon. However, now, he accurately expressed what Chu Jinglan was thinking. Could it be that the power of the inner demon began to grow stronger and could already hear all his inner thoughts?
Chu Jinglan stared at the inner demon coldly and tentatively scolded the inner demon in his heart.
Of course Xiao Mo couldn't hear it and remained indifferent.
Seeing that his inner demon had no reaction, Chu Jinglan felt relieved...it seemed like it hadn't reached that point yet.
It would be a very scary thing if the thoughts in your head and the voice in your heart could be heard by another person at any time and anywhere.
One problem has been temporarily solved, and only another problem remains, so why is the inner demon in a hurry to let him go?
Could it be that the people from the Illusion Sword Gate really have something that can suppress the inner demons?
If the inner demon is so eager for him to leave, then he won't leave.
Chu Jinglan walked around symbolically, then turned around and went back to the cabin.
He thought he was fighting against his inner demon, but little did he know that this was exactly what the inner demon wanted.
Xiao Mo: You little brat, you rebelled against me, but I still controlled you.
The system silently sighed that these two equally rebellious young people really have eight hundred tricks up their sleeves. You play tricks on me and I play tricks on you, and no one should think that the other is cruel.
When they returned to the cabin, Dai Zisheng had just woken up. He was about to talk to Su Baimo, but when he saw someone entering the room, he immediately became alert. However, Chu Jinglan just said to him calmly, "Awake?"
Dai Zisheng looked at Chu Jinglan and then at Su Baimo, and spoke carefully: "Yes, may I ask..."
"We saved you." Chu Jinglan said in shock, "Who are you and why are you injured?"
Hearing that this person was also his savior, Dai Zisheng heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed. Su Baimo looked at his pale face and pulled Chu Jinglan's sleeve: "Brother Jinglan, he still looks very weak. Let him rest for a while. We don't need to rush to ask."
Dai Zisheng's favorable impression towards Su Baimo instantly grew. He thought that this person was really considerate, beautiful and kind-hearted. It was worth it that he was struck by Su Baimo at the first sight when he woke up. He had never had this feeling before!
Could it be an extremely beautiful encounter?
Dai Zisheng endured the pain and tried to maintain his posture: "It's okay, my name is Dai Zisheng, I was hurt so badly by my enemy. Ah, but don't worry, I have gotten rid of him and will not cause any trouble to my benefactor. May I ask where this is?"
He was not stupid and did not reveal his identity as the young master of the Phantom Sword Sect.
Su Baimo replied earnestly: "This is Mucheng, my name is Su Baimo, and he is Chu Jinglan."
Chu was shocked... Dai Zisheng smacked his lips and felt that it sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but shouldn't he be familiar with the people in the lower world?
"This is the wooden house that the Chu family used to stay in. Usually no one comes to disturb you now, so you can rest and recuperate in peace."
As Chu Jinglan spoke, he secretly observed the reaction of his inner demon.
After returning to the cabin, the inner demon stopped talking, but he no longer looked suppressed. His previous listless look seemed to be Chu Jinglan's illusion.
They both looked quiet, but Chu Jinglan felt that the inner demon was at ease, comfortable, and even had the leisure to watch a play.
God knows how he could see so many emotions from a ball of black mist.
So the people from the Phantom Sword Sect have no way to suppress him. Is Chu Jinglan overthinking it?
Chu Jinglan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Su Baimo has been caring and gentle since Dai Zisheng woke up. He poured Dai Zisheng a glass of water and handed it to him. Dai Zisheng thanked him and raised his hand to take it, but found that he had no strength in his hands and almost couldn't hold it steady.
Su Baimo pursed her lips and smiled, saying softly, "Let me do it."
Dai Zisheng thanked her with a red face, and drank the water that Su Baimo fed to his mouth from his hand.
Dai Zisheng: He is really different!
Dai Zisheng's ears turned red, and he would secretly glance at Su Baimo from time to time while drinking water. Su Baimo noticed his gaze and smiled at him, which made Dai Zisheng's face almost ripe and he felt even more embarrassed.
Xiao Mo thought that Chu Jinglan was really careless and really had no feelings for Su Baimo. If he really liked Su Baimo, he would probably be jealous by now.
The interaction was so obvious, and anyone with enough eyes could see the cute thoughts that Dai Zisheng had not hidden at all.
Dai Zisheng admired Su Baimo in his heart, and at the same time tried to calm his beating heart, so he casually started a conversation: "Are you two friends?"
Xiao Mo immediately put on an attitude of watching a good show: Here it comes!
Su Baimo: "No, we are engaged."
Dai Zisheng, who thought peach blossoms and spring were waving at him, was stunned.
"……ah?"
A basin of cold water was poured over his head, and spring was gone. The peach blossoms floated away with the cold water. His young heart, which had just leaped for love, was broken into eight petals in an instant, and his throbbing emotions were strangled before they even began.
A savior is a pair with a savior, and it has nothing to do with outsiders.
The idea of repaying a favor with one's own body only exists in novels and is not something you will ever encounter.
Dai Zisheng sobbed and put away his broken heart. Bai Yueguang got stuck before he could even get into the air. He couldn't compete with his savior for his fiancée. Dai Zisheng raised his shaking hands and said, "Ahem, thank you. Give me the cup. I'll do it myself."
Su Baimo was puzzled: "Why? If it's inconvenient for you, I can feed you."
Dai Zisheng's hands trembled: "No, no, thank you, thank you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Jinglan secretly, hoping that his behavior just now did not make his other benefactor unhappy. However, Chu Jinglan seemed to be thinking about something and did not pay attention to this.
Fortunately, it’s fortunate that Chu Jinglan had misunderstood me. It would have been bad.
Alas, Dai Zisheng drank water in sorrow, silently mourning his first love that was never able to begin.
Xiao Mo took in Dai Zisheng's reaction completely, not missing any details, wondering whether this boy fell in love with Su Baimo at first sight.
He seemed to be actively distancing himself from Su Baimo. Well, that's good. Chu Jinglan's identity as a savior did have some effect.
In the original novel, Dai Zisheng didn't know at first that Su Baimo had a fiancé. Su Baimo came to the cottage to visit him and stayed with him, but never mentioned Chu Jinglan on his own initiative. Now Dai Zisheng knew about their engagement right away. Given his personality, he would indeed be careful about the limits.
But, when Chu Jinglan is deposed and the engagement is cancelled, will Dai Zisheng be able to resist the attraction of Wanren Mi and not get involved with Su Baimo?
Xiao Mo has to question this.
Xiao Mo was pondering the plot and observing Dai Zisheng, while Chu Jinglan was looking at him.
This ball of black mist flew directly to Dai Zisheng's vicinity and did not show any discomfort. However, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that there was nothing on Dai Zisheng that could affect his inner demons. We need to observe him for a while longer.
Chu Jinglan waited for Dai Zisheng to finish drinking the water. Since he was awake, he handed the medicine to him and told him how to use it. He also left him some fasting pills, one of which was equivalent to three meals.
Dai Zisheng hurriedly thanked him, and Chu was surprised: "I'll come again tomorrow."
Come twice more to confirm whether the inner demon can be suppressed.
I didn't expect Chu Jinglan to take the initiative and be willing to come again, which saved Xiao Mo a lot of effort. If Chu Jinglan came more often, wouldn't Su Baimo and Dai Zisheng have less time to be alone?
Xiao Mo was very satisfied.
Su Baimo saw Chu Jinglan was about to leave, but he was in no hurry to leave: "Brother Jinglan, I will stay with him for a while."
Chu Jinglan said nothing and left alone.
Su Baimo looked towards Chu Jinglan's back with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes. Dai Zisheng saw it and wanted to speak but felt it was not appropriate to interrupt. He drank a whole glass of water with shaking hands. In the end, he couldn't just leave Su Baimo, whose face was filled with loneliness, alone, so he tried to speak.
"Uh, are you in a bad mood?"
Su Baimo glanced at him lightly and said aggrievedly, "No."
Dai Zisheng: “…”
Help, I can’t continue this conversation!
But now that it had come to this, Su Baimo's eyes clearly said, "Ask me again." As a grateful person, Dai Zisheng could only bite the bullet and say, "I see that you don't look well..."
Su Baimo sighed.
This sigh was like him admitting that he was in a bad mood, as if he was talking to himself: "Brother Jinglan is good in every way, but he's too dull. Does he not like me?"
Dai Zisheng thought to himself, how would I know? I am single, so I don’t understand! He could only laugh dryly.
Su Baimo looked at him aggrievedly: "Do you think there's something wrong with me?"
Dai Zisheng had just been rescued, so it was impossible for him to say that his benefactor was bad. He quickly said, "How could that be! You are kind-hearted, and there is nothing wrong with you!"
Su Baimo's cheeks turned red when he praised her. The sadness on her face disappeared, and she smiled shyly at him: "I feel embarrassed when you praise me like this."
Su Baimo asked softly, "Can you talk to me for a while?"
Who just told Chu Jinglan to let Dai Zisheng take a rest? Why did he change his mind so quickly? One should not be so contradictory.
Dai Zisheng was in so much pain that he just wanted to lie down, but as a man he couldn't say no, so he gritted his teeth, smiled with tears in his eyes, and said, "Stand still."
No matter how much Su Baimo wanted to say, after the other side's inner demon duo returned to the Chu family, the sky began to darken. Originally, dinner time was a time that Xiao Mo was looking forward to very much, but today he was just caught by Chu Jinglan, and it would be a waste of time if he tried to get close to him again. He didn't want to be teased again, so he retreated into his sea of consciousness.
Although it was lonely in the sea of consciousness, at least he could use his human form. Xiao Mo regained his human form and walked around his yard, lest he forget how to walk on two legs after being a dumpling for too long. He chatted with the system, "If I really changed the plot of Dai Zisheng and Su Baimo, is it okay?"
If the plot can be easily changed, then why must the system and him as the tasker be arranged to stabilize Chu Jinglan?
Xiao Mo never asked before because he didn't care.
But the system's answer was unexpected.
"No problem," the system said, "Including Su Baimo and Chu Jinglan, there are eight important cornerstone figures in this world. Their main growth nodes will never change. As long as the cornerstone is solid, the rest of the changes don't matter."
Xiao Mo pondered over this and understood: "So Chu Jinglan would fall in love with Su Baimo no matter what, and then die for him?"
The system said again: "No."
Xiao Mo was surprised: Not again?
"Chu Jinglan's growth node ends when he overcomes his inner demon calamity. The world will not interfere with the plot after that. Whether he will die for Su Baimo is not important to the cornerstone of the world."
Xiao Mo's eyes moved. Is this really the case?
The system observed his expression and said, "We still have a high degree of freedom, so if you want to change the fate or plot of any character, you can try as long as it is within a reasonable range. Only the nodes cannot be changed. Any attempt to change the nodes will be in vain. Please remember this."
The system knew that Xiao Mo couldn't bear to see Chu Jinglan's end: "If you want to change Chu Jinglan's ending——"
"I don't want to."
Xiao Mo interrupted the system without hesitation: "What does he have to do with me? I intervened in Su Baimo and Dai Zisheng's plot today just because I was bored. Besides, it only takes a few words, which is not a big deal. To change Chu Jinglan's ending, it must take a lot of time and effort. How tiring it is. I don't want to cause trouble for myself."
The system said, “Oh.”
The host is the most important, whatever you say is the right thing to do.
"Let's not talk about him anymore." Xiao Mo used his actions to show that he really had no interest in Chu Jinglan and put him behind his mind. "Let me see how many points I have now."
The important thing is to cultivate into a human form as soon as possible. Chu Jinglan's ending is not as important as points and cultivation. No, absolutely not.
