"How about this? You cooperate with me for a while and provide me with intelligence about Shenjing. As a reward, I'll protect you once. How about that?" Su Rui knew that blind pressure would only backfire. It would be better to use both kindness and force, giving each other a piece of candy after each stick. He could potentially recruit Nun Ma Yi as his follower, but that would risk exposure, so he decided to proceed with caution.
Hearing Su Rui's words, Nun Ma Yi's eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew that if she didn't agree to Su Rui's request, he might kill her; but if she did, she wasn't sure if this mysterious man would keep his promise. After careful consideration, she decided to agree first and see how things went. So, she nodded, agreeing to cooperate with Su Rui.
When Su Rui saw the Taoist nun in hemp clothes nod, he rarely smiled. Although asking her to help collect intelligence was a sudden decision, the results were gratifying.
However, Nun Ma Yi did not give up. She took a deep breath and said to Su Rui, "I can provide you with information secretly, but you can't let anyone else know about our deal!"
Su Rui looked at the Taoist nun in hemp clothes, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
After hearing Su Rui's reassurance, Maiden finally felt relieved. However, she couldn't help but ask, "Also, you have to tell me who you are, right? That way, I can better cooperate with you."
Hearing this, Su Rui's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and then slowly said: "If I say that I am a disciple of Dalin Temple, will you believe it?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and waved it gently. A ray of extremely pure sandalwood Buddha light instantly bloomed, like a dazzling golden thread, floating in front of the hemp-clothed Taoist nun.
Seeing this, Nun Ma Yi shook her head without hesitation, expressing her disbelief. She said firmly, "Those bald monks at Dalin Temple would never use such coercive tactics to gather intelligence. Therefore, you are definitely not from Dalin Temple."
Su Rui smiled faintly, not feeling angry or disappointed by Nun Ma Yi's denial. Instead, he once again unleashed a unique skill he hadn't used in a long time—the Yin-Yang Assimilation Technique. Suddenly, a strange aura surged from his body, and then a wisp of black supreme demonic energy emanated from his fingertips, quickly converging into a dense black mist that swirled in the air like a ferocious demon.
Su Rui looked at the black mist before him, smiled triumphantly, and said to the nun in hemp clothes, "Since you're so clever, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I'm not a disciple of the Dalin Temple, but a true disciple of the Five Ghost Heavenly Kings of the Eastern Demon Cult. So, are you satisfied with this answer?"
After saying this, he looked at the Taoist nun in hemp clothes with a playful look on his face, waiting for her reaction.
The Taoist nun in hemp clothes widened her eyes, looking at the black fog in front of her in disbelief, and secretly sighed in her heart: "It is actually the Supreme Demonic Energy of the Eastern Demon Cult! Who is this guy? How is it possible that he possesses the pure Buddha's light and controls the evil demonic energy? Is he really a person who is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, and is both good and evil?" Thinking of this, the Taoist nun in hemp clothes was filled with uneasiness.
She knew that such people were usually very dangerous, and if she accidentally angered them, the consequences would be disastrous. So, she decided to temporarily put aside her doubts and fears and do as they asked. After all, she had been involved in this incident, and it was almost impossible to get out of it unscathed.
"How can I give you the information?" asked the Taoist nun in hemp clothes.
"Every once in a while, I will come to see you, and I may not show the same face as now... Remember, the code for connection is the King of Heaven covering the Earth, and the Pagoda suppressing the River Monster! I am the King of Heaven, and you are the Pagoda!" Su Rui said.
There was actually some bad taste in Su Rui's words, but the Taoist nun didn't seem to notice. After the two of them agreed on the details of the subsequent meeting, Su Rui leisurely left the stall of the Taoist nun in hemp clothes.
The time they spent communicating was almost the same as the time for fortune-telling, and since Su Rui had just arrived, no one paid attention to him.
After leaving the fortune-telling stall of Taoist nun Ma Yi, Su Rui looked at the crowd still surging on the road, chose a direction, and directly activated the Buddha's light to perform his magical power - the power of divine feet. Illusory white lotuses grew under his feet, and he quickly disappeared in the sea of people.
