"You kid, you're really an ungrateful person. I was so nice to you before."
The old man cursed.
"Don't talk to me about other nonsense. Let me ask you, why do you want to control my body?"
Chu Lingxiao didn't take the old man's cursing words to heart at all, nor was he misled by his sudden words. He still asked vigilantly.
"Don't be nervous. We've been together for several years. Do you really not trust your master?"
The old man sighed and continued.
"Tell me, apart from absorbing a little bit of your spiritual power at the beginning, wasn't I helping you the rest of the time?"
Chu Lingxiao didn't buy his trick at all and spoke slowly.
"But didn't you help me become stronger so that I could build my physical body sooner?"
"Okay, regardless of my intentions, I helped you, and you benefited from it, didn't you?"
The old man guided them patiently and persuadingly.
"So, before I obtain a physical body, I will definitely not harm you. And after being together for such a long time, I think we have a master-disciple relationship, so I am even more reluctant to hurt you."
"You want a body. Isn't now the best time? While I'm less vigilant, let me voluntarily hand over control of my body to you. Then you control my body and destroy my soul. Then this body will be yours, right?"
"Anyway, my talent isn't bad. Occupying my body has nothing to lose but only benefits. This is much more reliable than what you told me before about using various spiritual materials to shape a physical body."
Chu Lingxiao directly laid out the things he had always suspected.
Anyway, the old man is now only a remnant soul, and is very weak, so he can't pose any threat to him. Besides, it is the old man who needs him, not him who needs the old man.
"Why are you so suspicious? You know I'm just a remnant soul now, very weak. What can I do to you?"
"I asked you to give me control of your body so that I could fight Ye Yun on your behalf."
"If I can't beat you, then you can?"
Chu Lingxiao's doubts deepened.
"...Hehe, actually, I recovered a little while I was sleeping and recuperating, so I can force you to improve your cultivation for a short period of time."
The old man tried to ease the embarrassment with laughter.
"Will it damage my meridians after using it? Will I be unable to withstand it?"
Hearing Chu Lingxiao raise this question, the old man thought he was about to agree and quickly answered.
“Not at all!”
"Oh~ Then why do you have to control my body to use it? Can't you operate it in the sea of consciousness, and then I can still fight the opponent by myself?"
Chu Lingxiao thought for a while and spoke slowly.
"That won't do! I haven't recovered enough yet."
After the old man finished speaking, he probably felt that it was too abrupt, so he quickly added.
"Don't worry, just give me your body and I'll make sure you win."
After hearing the old man's words, Chu Lingxiao did not answer, but started thinking.
"What are you worried about? In my current condition, even if you let me control your body, I can only control it for ten minutes at most. The situation you're worried about won't happen."
"don't want."
After a while, Chu Lingxiao refused categorically.
"What did you say?"
The old man asked again in disbelief.
"I said no. Even if I give up the duel, I will not give my body to you."
