Chapter 332: Blood and Blood Agreement
The little fox shook its tail and sneered, "I can't say for sure about the Sword Sect, but it's obvious that the Minglan Sect isn't a good sect. For the sake of the overall situation? Haha, whoever believes it is a fool."
She smiled and stroked her fur, then belatedly asked, "Little fox, why did you turn into a fox again?"
The little fox replied nonchalantly, "I still have to worry about my image when I'm in human form. How troublesome."
Tao Zi said rudely, "Everyone knows you are a little fox. There is no such thing as image."
It lashed out with a claw: "Whether the image exists or not is up to me, so stop talking nonsense!"
She held it down and walked back holding the little fox by the scruff of the neck.
Li Xiu and the others were still sitting in their original seats, their expressions still serious, but it seemed that she and the little fox in her hands were laughing and joking.
The little fox was carried to the table and laid down. Li Xiu took it and said, "Sister Tao, if the Emperor's daughter is really that important, shouldn't we look for relevant information?"
Tao Zi glanced at the Flower Monk calmly and said, "The Three Sects and Four Gates know a great deal about these matters. It would be presumptuous of us to go and look for them. Master Yue, could you mention this to Master Qiu and Young Master Wang? It might make it easier for them to find out."
Yue Qingya nodded and said, "Of course, I will contact them tonight."
The Flower Monk hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "I can also use some special means to contact the sect and raise the issue."
She smiled and said, "That's perfect."
The Thousand Needle Doctor rarely spoke up, "Tell me, does the Minglan Sect know what the alien race is looking for?"
Tao Zi lowered her eyes to hide her emotions and said, "I definitely know."
"Hey, why do you say that?" Hua Seng looked at them blankly. Tao Zi had concealed many things from him, which led to him not knowing the dirty deeds of Minglan Sect at all.
She recounted the story of the Minglan Sect's collaboration with the alien race, then added, "Even an ordinary cultivator like me who happened to encounter an alien race could tell something was amiss. How could they possibly not know what was going on?"
The Flower Monk frowned and said, "Impossible? Such a big thing, it's impossible for the other sects not to notice it, let alone watch it happen."
Yue Qingya sighed and said carefully, "As far as I know, they knew about this matter, but they each had their own plans and did not take any action to stop it."
"Impossible!" His brows furrowed deeper than anyone else's. "Other sects might be fine, but we can't just stand by and watch the Ming Lan Sect harm mortals."
Yue Qingya said helplessly: "Wang Xu thought so before."
The Flower Monk looked uncertain. When he stood up and wanted to leave, Tao Zi called him, "Flower Monk."
He turned back to look at Tao Zi, and she continued, "Don't let your master know where you are or where you got this information from. The Yisan Sect's ability to protect itself is not enough."
The Flower Monk tried to defend his sect: "Our sect wouldn't do anything about this kind of thing."
"Are you sure that your master won't leak this information? Are you sure that the Minglan Sect won't take action?" Tao Zi's tone was much heavier. "Flower Monk, you are protected too well by the sect."
He was silent. If what Tao Zi said was true, then did he really understand his own sect?
Hua Seng stood there in a daze. Tao Zi winked at the others, and they left one after another. Li Xiu even took the little fox away.
When they were the only two left in the room, she finally spoke: "Monk Hua, foolish people live longer. I know too much, and I might lose my life at any moment."
He looked at her blankly: "Tao Zi, what do you mean?"
Tao Zi sighed, her face filled with worry, but her eyes were calm. "There are many things I don't know how to explain. Flower Monk, I know you have an extraordinary background and excellent talent. You will definitely not be an ordinary cultivator in the future. Therefore, I would like to make a deal with you."
The Flower Monk was confused by this sudden turn of events: "What deal?"
Tao Zi took out the Buddhist Sayings and pushed it in front of him: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a book from your Buddhist sect."
The Flower Monk only took one look at the book and was completely shocked. He blurted out, "Where did you find this?"
As soon as she saw his appearance, she knew what was going on: "It was a coincidence."
The Flower Monk wasn't exactly a fool. Even though his eyes were glued to the Buddhist Words, he still asked, "The Buddhist Words is indeed a book of my Buddhist sect. No, it's a secret manual! Tao Zi, tell me, what are your conditions? I'll make this deal."
"Make a pact of heart and blood."
The pact of heart and blood is an oath made with heart and blood. If violated, one will be seriously injured and will not be able to recover for thirty to fifty years. If one's luck is even worse, one will not make any progress in cultivation in this lifetime.
The Flower Monk's eyes finally fell on her: "What is the content of the oath?"
Tao Zi pushed a piece of paper in front of him: "When something happens to me, it will be time for you to fulfill your oath."
He took the paper and asked puzzledly, "Are you so sure that something will happen to you?"
She didn't explain, so he just lowered his head and stared at the paper. The more he looked, the deeper his frown deepened. He couldn't help but utter one of the vows: "I will never be used by the Minglan Sect in this life... Tao Zi, are you planning to confront it?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "There's a good chance they'll clash. Monk Hua, since you've taken the Buddhist Sayings that I risked my life for, you shouldn't stand with the Ming Lan Sect. There's no doubt about that."
The Flower Monk nodded and said solemnly, "Indeed, even if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't stand against you after taking this 'Buddha's Words'."
She couldn't deny that people's positions would always change, not to mention that there was an unknown sect behind this monk, so there were too many uncertainties.
Tao Zi waited until he had read all the terms before saying, "Monk Hua, do you want to do this deal or not?"
"I said I would do it, so I will do it."
The two of them formally made a blood pact, and the blood-soaked paper disappeared.
The next morning, before Tao Zi even woke up, she heard a soul-stirring cry from outside: "Tao Mei, get up quickly!"
She held her head in pain and even had the urge to kill someone - ever since her consciousness was damaged, she had been in a state of lethargy.
Tao Zi opened the door with a gloomy face. Li Xiu was startled and said, "Sister Tao, are you in a bad mood when you wake up?"
She said coldly, "You'd better be busy."
"I don't have any business, but I don't know whether Senior Yan has any business."
Tao Zi came to the newly built meeting room and looked at Yan Wenxuan, who looked relaxed. She said, "Friend Yan, you have come from afar. What is going on?"
Yan Wenxuan didn't notice anything wrong and said with a smile, "There are two things, one small and one big. Which one do you want to hear first, Miss Tao?"
