Wu Xu's words were very realistic. He could spare Su Chen's life, but it was impossible for him to let Su Chen escape intact and pose a threat to himself out of thin air. This was unrealistic.
Besides, Su Chen would not believe that Wu Xu would fulfill his promise. Even if Wu Xu was speaking sincerely now, Su Chen would not believe it.
For someone at Wu Xu's level, lying is a necessary skill, as simple as eating and drinking. Even if they have made a promise under a solemn oath, they can downplay it and deny it without any psychological burden.
Su Chen was certain that Wu Xu was just trying to trick him and would never let him go. Once he tricked him into revealing the secret, he would only be killed faster.
After being deceived by Yang Qianxue once, Su Chen would not trust others so easily.
However, this did not affect Su Chen's cooperation with Wu Xu in acting.
Wu Xu's acting skills were superb, and so was Su Chen. Especially now that he had reached the fifth level of the Heavenly Man Realm, his control over facial expressions was precise to the smallest detail.
So, Su Chen expressed his hesitation, but he didn't quite believe Wu Xu's expression. He moved his lips, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you think I will be fooled so easily?"
Wu Xu had been observing Su Chen's expression, and immediately he had an idea, knowing that Su Chen had taken the bait. He suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to confuse Su Chen with a serious expression.
"Lie?" Wu Xu laughed dumbly. "I am the lord of Dragon City, do I have any need to lie to you?"
Su Chen raised his brows slightly, revealing a look of excitement again, but immediately became alert again, "Humph, even if you regret it later, I won't be able to do anything to you. Why should I trust you?"
Seeing Su Chen's performance, Wu Xu was almost certain that Su Chen had already fallen in love and was just making the final hesitation.
Wu Xu is already very familiar with this. He has used this trick many times to fool people and achieve his desired goals.
Then he used his clever rhetoric to successfully "persuade" Su Chen.
Su Chen took a deep breath, then moved forward and said in a low voice, "In fact, that humanoid monster is a Heavenly Man Realm warrior under Grand Master Hua!"
When Wu Xu heard this, he immediately frowned, subconsciously thinking that Su Chen was teasing him.
It was obvious that this major case at the Dragon and Tiger Hunting Ground was planned by him and Fang Tu, so how could it be related to Grand Tutor Hua?
He knew that Su Chen had been getting closer to Grand Tutor Hua recently and had even cured Grand Tutor Hua's daughter.
So Wu Xu's first reaction was to think that Su Chen was lying to him and deliberately provoking his hostility towards Grand Tutor Hua.
However, even if he thought so in his heart, he did not show it. Instead, he stared at Su Chen and said, "Are you sure?"
Su Chen seemed not to notice the doubt in Wu Xu's eyes and nodded vigorously, "Of course it's true!"
"Not long ago, a Heavenly Man Realm warrior under Grand Master Hua suddenly disappeared. Grand Master Hua searched hard for him but couldn't find him. Everyone thought he had been murdered. But unexpectedly, he encountered him in the Dragon and Tiger Hunting Grounds. He had become a mindless humanoid monster!"
At this point, Su Chen chuckled and said to Wu Xu, "As expected of City Lord Wu, he even dared to touch Master Hua's people. He is so bold."
Wu Xu's face was expressionless, and he was not moved by Su Chen's probing. He just shook his head coldly and said, "I have never touched Master Hua's men."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, a puzzled expression on his face, "It wasn't you who did it? Could it be Fang Tu's work? Fang Tu is so capable that he can even capture a Heaven Realm warrior? That's not right. Since he is your accomplice, why didn't he tell you about this? He couldn't have any hidden secrets!"
Su Chen's words were half true and half false. As long as Wu Xu and Grand Tutor Hua were friends, his lies would be self-defeating.
However, Su Chen was also confident that Wu Xu would never ask Grand Tutor Hua. Wu Xu and Grand Tutor Hua, who was parachuted in, were in an invisible antagonistic relationship.
Even if Su Chen's lies were exposed, there would be no loss. Even if Grand Tutor Hua knew about it, the situation would not be worse than it is now.
Su Chen noticed that Wu Xu's eyes were fixed on him, not missing any changes on his face, judging the authenticity of his news.
Su Chen was also looking at Wu Xu, his eyes clear and frank, without any guilt at all.
Then, Wu Xu said again: "If it is true as you said, that Grand Master Hua has lost a Heavenly Man Realm warrior, why hasn't any news been released?"
Faced with Wu Xu's suspicion, Su Chen fell silent and did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked a little embarrassed and hesitant.
When Wu Xu saw his expression, he immediately realized that there was something else he didn't know!
"Hurry up and tell me!" Wu Xu's tone became a little lower.
Su Chen raised his head, stared at Wu Xu and said, "This is related to a secret of Grand Tutor Hua, I can't tell you."
"Tell me." Wu Xu said in a commanding tone.
Su Chen frowned and said unhappily, "Your condition just now was that I tell you who the humanoid monster is, but you didn't ask me to reveal Master Hua's secret!"
Wu Xu reacted quickly and said immediately, "How do I know if you are lying to me? If Grand Master Hua really lost a Heavenly Realm warrior, there is no reason for him not to look for him."
Su Chen hesitated again, his mouth moving, "If I really tell you Master Hua's secret, will you really let me go?"
"Of course! I, Wu Xu, always keep my promises." Wu Xu insisted.
"Okay." Su Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then opened them again, looking as if he had made a major decision. Then he said boldly, "City Lord Wu, have you heard of the Xuanyuan Diagram?"
