Chapter 524 I Don’t Believe
in Me Today, if we look at it from a God’s perspective, Chu Xianping’s choice is obvious.
In this "card game" involving three people, he wants to force an "alliance" with Zhuang Zhiming.
It is still unknown whether Wei Changtian would do the same.
However, due to the "fellow villager" relationship, I believe that even if the former is cruel enough, he will most likely not be so direct.
But Chu Xianping had no burden.
He simply used the simplest and most flawless reason and directly gave out Xu Suisui's name.
From now on, Zhuang Zhiming has actually stood on the opposite side of Xu Suisui.
Although he seems to have a choice.
But in fact, Chu Xianping had already "blocked" any other options for him.
Leaves fall one after another, and the empty branches are blown by the wind.
From the time Zhuang Zhiming arrived at Wei's house to now, less than half an hour has passed.
For the former, this half hour was "exciting", as the development of events far exceeded his expectations from the very beginning.
But for Chu Xianping, everything he did, even every word he said, was actually under his control.
Let me exaggerate a little more.
Everything he said to Zhuang Zhiming was planned before Zhuang Zhiming came.
Including the final series of questions and answers.
It seemed that Zhuang Zhiming was asking and he was answering.
But this was actually what Chu Xianping intended.
Of course, he could have given these answers in advance without waiting for Zhuang Zhiming to ask questions.
However, the effects that can be achieved by "actively speaking" and "passively answering" are completely different.
People are always more inclined to believe "answers verified by themselves" rather than "answers given by others".
That's why Chu Xianping was so ambiguous when speaking about Xu Suisui, just to wait for Zhuang Zhiming's questions.
And when Zhuang Zhiming asked, "She wants to control the Council of Elders?", Chu Xianping already knew that today's goal had been achieved.
"Elder Zhuang, do you have anything else to ask?"
Shaking his sleeves, Chu Xianping slowly poured himself another cup of tea.
Zhuang Zhiming did not answer immediately, but after a long silence, he slowly shook his head.
"Elder Chu, why are you telling me all this? What good will it do you?"
"Because I want that woman to die."
Chu Xianping answered without hesitation: "But I need to borrow your power to find her."
"Besides that?"
The fat on Zhuang Zhiming's face piled up: "How do I know that you are not driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"
"Haha, Elder Zhuang, don't be so confident."
Chu Xianping gently picked up the teacup and said, "It's still unclear who is the tiger and who is the wolf between you and her."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhuang Zhiming narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there something special about this Xu Suisui?"
"Of course."
Chu Xianping turned his head and answered word by word:
"Elder Zhuang, aren't we looking for a way to break through the realm right now?"
"I can tell you clearly now that this matter has nothing to do with Wei Changtian. The solution is actually in Xu Suisui's hands."
"What?!"
Zhuang Zhiming's expression changed in an instant, and before he could come to his senses, Chu Xianping's extremely calm voice came to his ears again.
"Elder Zhuang, if we find Xu Suisui we will be able to obtain the method to break through the realm."
"When the time comes, her life will belong to me, and the token of Elder Qingtai will belong to you."
"The method of breaking through the realm is shared by you and me, and no third person will know it."
"I don't like to be fussy, so I'll only ask you once."
"Do you want to do this business?"
“.”
His pupils dilated slightly, Zhuang Zhiming looked at Chu Xianping deeply, then stood up and walked towards the door.
His current behavior seems to indicate that he is about to leave.
But Chu Xianping did not move at all, still sitting as steady as a rock in the chair, not even his expression changed.
Until Zhuang Zhiming suddenly shouted outside the house.
"Everyone, go!"
“.”
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The sound of barely audible footsteps came from all directions and disappeared in an instant.
At this time, Zhuang Zhiming turned around and said word by word with a serious expression: "Elder Chu, if you lie to me, I will make you live a life worse than death."
"Elder Zhuang, there is no point in saying this."
Shaking his head, Chu Xianping replied with a smile:
"Whether I lied to you or not, you will know tomorrow night."
“.”
An hour later.
As wisps of smoke rose above the kitchen, Zhuang Zhiming's carriage slowly left under the scorching midday sun.
It is not clear what the two talked about during this hour, but it is likely to be related to Xu Suisui.
Forced alliance will only divert disaster to other places.
It is impossible to predict what consequences Chu Xianping’s choice will have, whether they are good or bad.
But one thing is certain.
That is, he has transferred all the risks from Kuilong to himself, and completely left Wei Changtian alone.
In other words, Chu Xianping was taking risks for Wei Changtian.
However, the latter is not aware of this at the moment.
Another stick of incense later.
Wei Changtian, who had been hiding in the house for the whole morning, finally showed up and appeared in front of Chu Xianping.
He didn't ask what had just happened.
Although if I ask myself, Chu Xianping will definitely tell me.
But Wei Changtian is prepared to stick to the "Wallfacer Project" to the end and will never interfere with Chu Xianping's decision unless necessary.
Therefore, after meeting Chu Xianping, he just asked one question.
"Brother Chu, what do I need to do next?"
"Sir, I need the Kuilong token in your hand, as well as Kuilong's secret method of sending messages."
Chu Xianping said in a serious tone: "I will attend the elders' meeting tomorrow night, and it will be the same in the future."
“.”
His face inevitably froze. Wei Changtian didn't expect Chu Xianping to make such a request.
This is not an ordinary prop! Although the intrigues of the elders are very troublesome, I don't want to get involved too much.
But once the token is given to Chu Xianping, it means that the latter will completely "monopolize" the information about Kuilong.
In this situation, if Chu Xianping wanted to rebel... Thinking of this, Wei Changtian hesitated instinctively.
But after a few breaths, he took out the Kuilong token he was carrying from his arms and handed it to Chu Xianping.
"Brother Chu, here is the token. I will teach you the secret method later."
"good."
Chu Xianping took the token and put it away, then he suddenly raised his hand and swallowed the puppet pill that he had been holding in his palm.
"Brother Chu! What are you doing!?"
By the time Wei Changtian reacted, it was too late. The mysterious aura had already appeared around Chu Xianping, and slowly dissipated after a moment.
It is indeed Puppet Pill.
Puppet Pill that establishes a connection with oneself.
"Brother Chu, why are you doing this?"
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Wei Changtian's tone was very helpless: "Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. Since I am willing to give you the token, I naturally trust you."
"Sir, I know you believe in me, but I don't believe in myself."
Chu Xianping's expression was calm: "Especially after I became the elder of Kuilong, I don't know if I can still resist the temptation."
"So it's better to be safe."
“.”
I don't believe in myself.
Wei Changtian certainly knew that this was just Chu Xianping's words, and the latter's real purpose must be to reassure himself.
But now that it has happened, there is no point in discussing it any further.
"Oh, all right."
Patting Chu Xianping on the shoulder, Wei Changtian asked again, "Is there anything else you need me to do?"
“Nothing else for now.”
Chu Xianping nodded and said, "Sir, I will do my best to handle the matter of Kui Long, but there is one thing I must understand clearly about your attitude."
"What's up?"
"It's about Miss Xu"
"Sir, if you have to, can you kill this man?"
“.”
"Can."
Wei Changtian's answer was obviously a beat slower, as if he was a little hesitant.
However, Chu Xianping just looked at him deeply and didn't ask any more questions.
"Yes, I understand."
“.”
Yellow leaves, cold wind, cooking smoke, the smell of rice. Everything outside the window is peaceful and normal.
But the wheel of fate that was connected to countless people suddenly rolled at this moment and completely deviated from its original direction.
