"What on earth is he trying to do, sneaking around and hiding his head and showing his tail?" Luo Jiujiang asked in surprise, feeling that he was really puzzled.
"That White Tiger Talisman should be a deliberate reminder from the White Tiger Messenger. As for the name of the challenge and the aura of the Suanni on it..." Han Qianling pondered for a moment, then gave a decisive answer, "From what I understand, it's probably just because Nuzi thinks we're stupid."
Luo Jiujiang: "...I am stupid and others are stupid? This Nuzi is really interesting."
———————————
Originally, Luo Jiujiang thought that Nuzi was only a little stupid, but when he opened the challenge letter, he felt like a goldfish blowing bubbles, with countless thoughts trying to express.
"He set the battle time for today at noon?" Luo Jiujiang almost doubted his own eyes. He couldn't help but repeat: "Today at noon, the location is 150 miles away...Qianling, is it really not because he doesn't like me that he is trying to trick me?"
Han Qianling tried hard to bring his thinking circuit to the same level as Ni Kui. After three breaths, he hesitated and said, "Perhaps, this is the reason why he sent the messenger before dawn?" He was afraid that if you read the invitation a little late, you would miss it, so he just sent it early?
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
This logic was so self-contained that Luo Jiujiang couldn't even refute it. He picked up the invitation and put it down again, finally shaking his head and laughing, "Such an interesting person, I really should go and see him in person."
Han Qianling had no objection: "Okay, let's go together."
…
"Palace Master Han and Young Master Luo have already left." Dong Shuangyu held five thin transparent threads between the fingers of her right hand. "As expected, they are inseparable. What are you seeing, Young Master Ni?"
Ni Kui had been gritting his teeth ever since he learned that Han Qianling and Luo Jiujiang were traveling together. Now, suddenly confronted by Dong Shuangyu's question, he was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses: "Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to lure Han Qianling away?"
"It was Envoy Xuanwu who made the final decision, deciding to pursue a two-pronged approach. I only offered some suggestions, so I don't dare take any credit for them." Dong Shuangyu lightly deflected the blame that had been placed on him. "The 'provocation' used in today's challenge was the ingenuity of Envoy Xuanwu alone. I didn't contribute a single bit of credit."
"It's okay," Ni Kui said magnanimously, "I treat you like a brother, so of course half the credit goes to you!"
"...Thank you very much, but I dare not take the initiative." Dong Shuangyu said expressionlessly: "Isn't it a good time to lure the Master of Han Palace away from the mountain?"
"You're right." Ni Kui nodded repeatedly. "Then how do we get Han Qianling away? Should we send someone to stand at the mountain pass and beat their chest and shout his name?" He pointed behind Dong Shuangyu. "Send this person?"
Yue Qinghui's face turned green after being pointed at by him: "No, no, no, I'm just a foundation-building cultivator. I'm weak and powerless. Palace Master Han can kill me like cutting melons and vegetables. I'm not worthy of such an important task as the Xuanwu Envoy."
"I'm afraid it's too conspicuous." Dong Shuangyu said lightly.
It was rare for him to be so calm. Facing Ni Kui's face, which was clearly filled with the words "I don't know what you're talking about, but you're definitely better than me," he managed to maintain his composure and spoke freely, "The Sacred Land is full of changes, so even the most bizarre things wouldn't be out of place here. Why don't we first draw a wisp of Dao Source Qi and attach it to the strange beast to distract Palace Master Han. Then, from West Peak, we can send down a group of Five-tone Chaos Beasts to completely separate Young Master Luo and Palace Master Han, okay?"
After pondering for a while, Ni Kui finally asked slowly, "So, what should we do if it's Luo Jiujiang who's been transferred?"
"I think the Black Tortoise Envoy is worrying too much. This isn't a problem," Dong Shuangyu said indifferently. "If Young Master Luo is separated from him, then you can just give chase. Don't you have legs too?"
Ni Kui nodded in agreement at the first half of the sentence, then turned his head suspiciously at the second half, slowly narrowing his eyes. "Why does the White Tiger Envoy seem to have a hidden meaning in his words?"
Dong Shuangyu looked at him with a smile.
"Xuanwu Envoy is overthinking it." He said softly.
Saying that you have a pair of legs but no brains is just saying that there is no hidden meaning.
