"Haha, that's right." Ye Xingchen laughed. "The Twelve Passion Poisons Scripture should only be a fragment. The record only mentions six of the twelve passion poisons."
"Mount Futu has gathered the world's best poison experts. Over the years, they have devoted themselves to research and have restored the six poisons to ten poisons. However, there are still two poisons that have not been restored. Am I right?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Bai Wei stared at Ye Xingchen.
"What I want to say is that I can make up for the remaining two poisons," Ye Xingchen said leisurely.
"Are you telling the truth?" Bai Wei's pupils contracted slightly, and her gaze sharpened in an instant.
"Of course it's true. You know my background. I entered the Dao through medicine. Although I'm not as skilled in using poison as you are from Mount Futu, I still have quite a bit of experience." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Moreover, I happened to see a record of the last two scriptures of the Twelve Emotional Poisons in a damaged ancient book."
"Although I cannot restore it, I have gained some insights from it. I can write down the contents of the last two scriptures and add my own insights. With the wisdom of the Three Sages of Buddhism, I think it shouldn't be too difficult to understand the Twelve Poisons of Emotions?"
Bai Wei's expression changed instantly, her face shifting between light and dark as she pondered Ye Xingchen's words.
Yes, Master's reverence for the Twelve Emotions Poison Scripture has reached the point of near-madness.
If we could complete the Twelve Emotional Poisons Sutra for her, she would have no regrets in this life, and she might even greatly improve her cultivation level by resolving a knot in her heart.
But how much of what Ye Xingchen said was true, and how much was false?
"Hehe, Miss Bai, you don't trust me?" Ye Xingchen couldn't help but laugh when he saw her hesitant expression.
“Miss Bai, this guy is talking nonsense. Who are your master and the Three Saints of the Floating Pagoda? Even they couldn’t obtain the complete Twelve Poison Scripture. How could this kid possibly know it?” Seeing Bai Wei’s expression, Cheng Qiang panicked and shouted, “He’s just talking nonsense. He’s trying to sow discord between us.”
Ye Xingchen ignored Cheng Qiang and continued, "Cheng Qiang is just a dispensable person to you now, because the Cheng family's power has been completely destroyed. Rather than struggling to help a useless Cheng Qiang rise again, it would be better to find someone else worth supporting."
"If I can truly complete the Twelve Poison Scriptures, it will fulfill your master's long-cherished wish. The choice is up to Miss Bai."
Bai Wei slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Xingchen: "The remaining two meridians of the Poison Scripture are the most powerful part of the Twelve Passion Poison Scriptures. Without these two meridians, the Twelve Passion Poison Scriptures are like chicken ribs. Are you sure you can really complete them?"
"I will write down some of the scriptures and insights I have seen, and you can give them to your master when you return," Ye Xingchen said. "Among the Three Saints of the Buddha, Venerable Shengyuan is a great sage. I believe that with her aptitude, she will definitely be able to understand the remaining two lineages of scriptures."
"It all depends on whether Miss Bai is willing to believe me and take a gamble on me."
Bai Wei fell silent again; Ye Xingchen's words had stirred something within her.
Yes, if the remaining two meridians of the Heart Poison in the Twelve Emotional Poisons Sutra could be completed, it would be an extremely important matter for Futu Mountain, even more important than her current plan to enter the world.
Firstly, she suffered a defeat in Jinling, and Mount Futu suffered heavy losses. If she were to return now, she really wouldn't know how to face her revered master.
Secondly, Cheng Qiang is indeed no longer of any use to us, and there's no point in dragging things out with him. It would be better to find a suitable new person to support.
“Miss Bai…” Cheng Qiang’s face turned pale. It was not hard to tell from Bai Wei’s expression that she was tempted.
There are no eternal friends in this world. If there are, it can only mean that the benefits haven't been shared enough.
He is now of no use to Bai Wei. On the contrary, what Ye Xingchen has can help Futu Mountain take another step forward.
If you have to choose between the two, even a fool would know which to choose.
Bai Wei turned away, ignoring Cheng Qiang.
Cheng Qiang knelt down with a thud, his whole body ice cold.
The pleasure boat burst into flames, and Cheng Qiang's body was thrown into the icy river. Whether he would end up as a fish or be discovered and retrieved was no longer important.
Ye Xingchen and Bai Wei sat in a small boat and rowed towards the shore.
"Ye Xingchen, you'd better keep your promises." Bai Wei looked up at Ye Xingchen, her expression complicated.
Chengjia was the first family she supported after entering the world, but she never expected that Chengjia would end up like this.
This attempt to join the WTO was a failure, and it could be described as starting strong but ending weakly, so she had some mixed feelings.
Compromising with Ye Xingchen is, in a sense, admitting defeat.
"Miss Bai, please rest assured, I will pack everything you need when I get back and then personally deliver it to you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "But I have a small question I would like to ask Miss Bai."
"Ask whatever you want." Bai Wei put down the oar. She and Ye Xingchen weren't enemies, but they were definitely not friends either.
The fact that the two of them were now sitting together in a small boat and had reached some kind of agreement felt strange to her.
"Your Mount Futu is known as one of the three great sacred lands beyond the mortal realm, and you are also bound by the three laws of worldly affairs. So generally speaking, you don't get involved in worldly affairs. This time, you must have a purpose in helping Chengjia, right?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“There’s no other major reason. If you insist on asking, then I can only answer you that our actions are human affairs,” Bai Wei said. “As for the reason, you don’t need to ask any further.”
"Are the other two the same?" Ye Xingchen asked with a complicated expression.
"No comment." Bai Wei shook her head.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Xingchen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
However, he felt a little heavy-hearted. Judging from Bai Wei's tone and Futu Mountain's actions, those three sacred places that did not belong to the human world were probably about to enter the world.
After they enter the world, a bloody storm will surely rage in this secular world, and the human world will become increasingly turbulent.
"If you really want to know, I can only tell you that there is no conflict of interest between us," Bai Wei glanced at Ye Xingchen and uttered.
"That would be best. I don't want to provoke Mount Futu for no reason." Ye Xingchen smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Killing the medicine slaves of Mount Futu before was really a self-defense measure. I hope that Miss Bai will put in a good word for you with your master after returning to Mount Futu."
“If what you give me can help my master complete the Twelve Emotions Poison Scripture, then none of this will be a problem,” Bai Wei said. “Our Futu Mountain is not a place that holds grudges. Since we have decided to enter the world and get involved in the conflicts of the world, we will not care about the loss of a single soldier.”
"Futu Mountain truly has the demeanor of a king; those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles." Ye Xingchen seized the opportunity to flatter him.
