Elder Bai targeted Mingzhuo at last year's Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference, and he's here again this year!
"Boss, is that person... from the Bai family?" He Wangyao asked about the person Ruan Mulan remembered.
Mingzhuo: "Really? I don't think so."
Gu Xu stared at Jiang Yunli, his eyes clearly seeing through him: "You're not exactly lying, but you've deliberately concealed some things."
He may not understand those mysterious things, but when it comes to the negotiating table, that's definitely his home turf.
The other party wants to reveal half the truth in exchange for bargaining chips, while keeping the other half in hand, ready to raise the price at any time.
"If you're not going to be open and honest, then there's no point in continuing this discussion," Gu Xu said coldly.
After all, the other party was begging Mingzhuo for cooperation, so to resort to tricks at this time would be disrespectful.
Jiang Yunli: "Yes, on the surface, it was the Bai family who came to me, but I discovered that they have another faction they are loyal to. But I can't say anything about it right now."
Since we can't hide it anymore, we might as well just admit it.
He knew that Mingzhuo definitely wanted to know who was trying to frame Ruan Mingying, but he wouldn't reveal that information easily.
However, he could continue talking about other things, which were related to saving Wanzhen.
Wanzhen had given him a way to contact her family so they could come and rescue her.
He sent out a distress signal using the contact information Wanzhen provided, but it wasn't until much later that someone tried to contact him.
"That person claimed to be a member of the Bai family, saying that Wanzhen was his great-aunt who had eloped with someone and disappeared decades ago. Her family thought she had died outside, but they never expected that she really was dead."
Jiang Yunli's voice turned slightly cold as he said this, "But he also said that Wanzhen's remains and birth date are still kept at home, and there is a secret method to summon Wanzhen's soul."
Mingzhuo: "Oh, he's lying to you, or rather, he's threatening you."
Jiang Yunli's lips tightened. "Yes."
To reunite Wanzhen's soul, he needs her remains and her birth date and time.
The opponent's secret techniques may not be reliable, but if you have these two things, it's like having their Achilles' heel.
Mingzhuo: "That person is a bit stupid. He even told a lie that Wanzhen is the aunt of the Bai family, but Wanzhen is clearly a fox demon."
Jiang Yunli's pupils contracted slightly. "Why are you so sure?"
Mingzhuo smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. You just need to answer yes or no."
He Wangyao felt completely out of sync with Mingzhuo's train of thought. How did Wanzhen suddenly turn into a fox demon?
Jiang Yunli couldn't help but sigh; he was completely convinced of Ming Zhuo's abilities.
“It took me more than 20 years to figure it out, but you saw through it all at once, even without ever having met Wanzhen.”
“No problem, no problem. Actually, you’ve already revealed part of it,” Mingzhuo said. “Your attitude towards Lin Xuelan isn’t just disgust, it’s even hatred.”
Jiang Yunli sneered: "That idiot Lin Xuelan keeps saying that she took the inner core of a fox demon, of course I hate her."
Wanzhen was deprived of her inner core and her soul was imprisoned by human hands, causing her to suffer endless hardships.
How could he not hate?
Mingzhuo: "Then you've got it wrong. Lin Xuelan didn't eat the inner core of a fox demon."
She wouldn't lie intentionally to disgust people; if she said it was from a human corpse or bones, then she definitely wouldn't be wrong.
However, Lin Xuelan was indeed too stupid. She dared to listen to people's nonsense about what she had eaten, and kept saying things like foxes are beasts, thinking that she had done nothing wrong.
Jiang Yunli remained outwardly calm, but in reality, the more Lin Xuelan cursed him as a "fox and beast," the more hatred welled up in his eyes.
The puppet was following Lin Xuelan when he unexpectedly ran into Jiang Yunli and told Mingzhuo everything he had seen.
Once the information was integrated, everything matched up.
Jiang Yunli betrayed Lin Xuelan so readily yesterday, of course, in revenge.
Or perhaps it was a warning to those who threatened him: don't think I'm easy to manipulate. I can cripple Lin Xuelan, and of course I can cripple you too. At worst, we'll both perish.
The two parties have a cooperative relationship, but the cooperation is not unbreakable and can be dissolved at any time.
Upon discovering that Mingzhuo was even more formidable, Jiang Yunli decisively broke off his alliance and surrendered to Mingzhuo.
“I can save Wanzhen, and I can even arrange for you to meet today.” Mingzhuo’s tone changed, “But before that, let’s talk about who told you that the Bone Jade is the bone of a god.”
Gu Xu stopped pouring tea and looked up at Jiang Yunli.
The other party revealed a few words last night, trying to lure Mingzhuo into making a deal with him, but Mingzhuo remained calm and did not fall for it.
Upon hearing Ming Zhuo's affirmative reply, Jiang Yunli's emotions stirred slightly. "I believe you."
He knew Mingzhuo would definitely have a way! After all, she was able to bring He Wangyao back from the wilderness of the Sanzu River and bring Shen Ruodi back from hell again.
After calming himself down, Jiang Yunli slowly said, "I have joined the Saha Sect."
This was the first time anyone had heard the name of that mysterious ancient religion.
He Wangyao was a little confused: "Why does it sound like Buddhism?"
Gu Xu gently set down his teacup. “Saha is a Buddhist term, also known as Saha, meaning to endure, hence translated as the Land of Endurance. The beings in this world are very capable of enduring, as it is a mixture of the three evil realms and the five destinies. In other words, this world is prone to sin, and people suffer endlessly, possessing the three sufferings and eight sufferings, which is the opposite of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.”
He paused for a moment, then continued, "And the vast world we inhabit is the Saha world."
He Wangyao really didn't know anything about Buddhist stories; it was the first time she had ever heard of them.
"I still prefer Taoism. Even if this world isn't perfect, it's not that sinful, is it?"
