After they were both seated, Wu Xu brewed her a cup of tea and nodded, saying, "Will you help me with our sect's cultivation techniques? Or will you answer my questions about what happened back then?"
Xiao Zhixing accepted the tea and chuckled, "Since you know, Daoist, could you please tell me frankly?"
Wu Xu smiled and said, "The old Taoist priest can tell you all about the cultivation method. As for the events of that year, hasn't Your Highness already investigated them quite thoroughly?"
Xiao Zhixing sneered, "Daoist, don't try to fool me. I want to know why you didn't depose Luo Wei? What deal did you make with His Majesty? And why have you been traveling the world all these years?"
Wu Xu looked at her intently, then suddenly smiled, "Your Highness is quite perceptive."
After a pause, Wu Xu sighed, "The time is not yet ripe. Please forgive me, Your Highness, that I am unable to reply to you at this time."
Xiao Zhixing twitched the corner of his mouth and uttered a surprised question, "Is it because of that monster?"
*Smack*
The cup in Wuxu's hand tilted slightly, and the lid fell off, but he caught it.
He suddenly looked up, "...Your Highness?"
Xiao Zhixing raised an eyebrow. "The upheaval in the 29th year of Yufeng, Luo Wei's sudden rise, Cheng Lang being hunted down, the rise of the four kingdoms, and so on, as well as you, who tolerated that traitor back then, and His Majesty also let Anqing Temple go. I'm not stupid about all of this."
"I don't believe in any monsters, but I can sense that there must be something, or someone, with extraordinary abilities. It treats this world as insignificant, acting recklessly, controlling others, and plundering all living beings!"
Boom boom—
The sudden thunderclap seemed to shake the very fabric of the heavens.
The small Taoist temple went from darkness to daylight in an instant.
Wu Xu sat there stiffly, the teacup in his hand shattering slightly, the tea turning into mist and disappearing.
He said in a dry voice, "Your Highness, are you... not afraid?"
Xiao Zhixing curled his lip in disdain, "If it dares to appear before me, I will cleave it in two. So, this thing truly exists? Who is it? Where is it?"
Wu Xu stared blankly, then suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes slightly red, "Ah Zhen, hahahaha—"
Xiao Zhixing waited for him to finish his rant, remaining neither angry nor pleased.
The "A-Zhen" he mentioned should be Xiao Yuzhen, and he and Xiao Yuzhen probably have a close, unknown relationship.
After a long while, a summer rain accompanied by a fierce wind was falling outside.
Wu Xu put down the shard in his hand, his eyes clear. "Since Your Highness has guessed, I cannot tell you. I promised him that I would protect his descendants. You cannot interfere in this matter."
Xiao Zhixing frowned. "What, you can't deal with it?"
Wu Xu's gaze was heavy. "Difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven."
As for how difficult it was or where it was difficult, he didn't reveal a word.
Xiao Zhixing knew perfectly well that the Emperor System was just an ethereal illusion that could be abandoned at any time.
It also has many clones, their whereabouts are mysterious, and it is even bound to the emperor, which makes it impossible for Wuxu to make a move.
Of course, this requires Wuxu to know that the Emperor System resides within the Emperor.
Xiao Zhixing pretended not to know anything, "Alright, give me the cultivation technique. Cheng Lang said that the complete technique can counteract it. I'll try it out."
When the time comes, if she accidentally "cultivates" the ability to control the system, it will be perfectly logical.
Wu Xu regained his composure and took out the complete manual from his robes. "This old Taoist priest hopes that Your Highness will not investigate this matter any further."
Xiao Zhixing took the manual and flipped through it, casually replying, "With you casting such a wide net all over the world, what have you found?"
Wuxu was choked.
Xiao Zhixing raised his eyelids and sneered, "I have made some discoveries."
His eyes revealed a deep longing.
Xiao Zhixing raised his chin. "Want to know? Tell me what you know, and I'll tell you."
Wu Xu couldn't help but point at her, "You, sigh, sigh, why bother?"
Others would run away as fast as they could, afraid of being associated with this demon, but she was oblivious and fearless.
"How about it? Consider it, shall we cooperate?" Xiao Zhixing said.
Wu Xu's eyes flickered, "Why are you so persistent in getting to the bottom of this?"
Xiao Zhixing's gaze was icy. "They provoked me first. I can't stand being insulted. Even if they are the King of Heaven, I will still beat them up to vent my anger."
Wu Xu was both amused and exasperated.
Xiao Zhixing continued, "That's one point. There's another: this Great Sheng, and even the Qian Yuan Continent, belongs to our human race. How can demons and monsters run rampant?"
"I will not allow such a heinous creature to exist!"
It's normal for humans to fight each other to the death; everyone accepts their own victory or defeat.
As a result, an outsider interfered, and the entire secret was thrown into chaos.
[Yellow comment: No, no, what does that mean? What kind of monster? Huh?!]
The entire live stream audience was stunned, completely unable to understand what the two were saying.
Xiao Zhixing originally planned to block the live stream, but after thinking about it, he decided not to block it at all.
To give future viewers a sense of participation, the sins committed by the Emperor System must be condemned by all of humanity.
As for what this monster actually is...
Finally, leaving everyone with an eternal mystery is not out of the question.
[Red comments: Wait, wait, let's sort this out. So, those people scheming against the prince earlier weren't that scumbag Qi, but this monstrous person?]
[Green comment: Holy crap, I've thought of something terrifying! Could the century of darkness in our world be the work of this monster?!]
The audience across the three dimensions, numbering over 10 billion, was completely stunned.
[Yellow comment: So, the prince not only has to fight against various enemy forces, but also this monster?!]
[Red comment: My mom is shocked! I suddenly understand why our history took a turn into different dimensions—it must be the work of that evil spirit!]
[Yellow comment: Waaaaah, why has the world suddenly become so surreal? In this situation, can our prince even win?]
