They eliminated Que Yueli, who looked somewhat human, and left behind Que Sheng, who was as worthless as dog shit.
This is the plan formulated by Hui Jiu.
The one who swiftly severed Que Yueli's head at Nanli Mountain was none other than Yi Jiu.
This is a collaboration between them and Que Sheng, a mutually exchanging collaboration.
We'll eliminate Que Yueli for you so you can enjoy all the glory of being the Son of God, while you, as the Son of God, will give us endless riches and honors.
Whether it's Xiao Jiu, Qin Feng, or Zhang Youzhao's current identities, they are all part of the cooperation agreement.
But for Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao, being your personal bodyguards is just an excuse; if you really treat us like your subordinates, ordering us around...
We wouldn't mind crippling you first, then hanging you up and keeping you alive.
For us, having a divine child as a shield is enough; it doesn't matter whether he's crippled or an idiot.
Que Sheng was well aware of this.
After Que Yueli was killed, he cooperated very well and showed no sign of being smug.
He performed flawlessly and fully cooperated with the requests made by Qin Feng and others. However, the problem was that neither Qin Feng nor Zhang Youzhao were stupid; they were just despicable.
On the contrary, both of them are masters of playing dumb to outwit their opponents and rising up suddenly.
Compared to Xiao Jiu's purely insidious approach, which aims to leave no survivors, these two brothers' style of doing things is more control-oriented.
They see right through you, cooperate with you, and just when you think your so-called little scheme is about to succeed, they strike without mercy to destroy you and take away everything you have.
In this respect, Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao are a perfect match.
Qin Feng's style of doing things was learned from Yi Boqi, while Zhang Youzhao's style of doing things was influenced by his younger sister Zhang Kaifeng.
People only know that the three Zhang brothers are unruly and ruthless, but they don't know that every big heist they commit is actually carried out according to a plan devised by Zhang Kaifeng.
The world is full of wonders. Two people whose fates are destined to be intertwined may not have met yet, but those deeply influenced by them may have already started working together.
Moreover, there was no sense of unfamiliarity at all.
Both being seasoned schemers, Que Sheng's behavior alerted Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao simultaneously.
Something's not right here!
Even the worst divine child is still a high and mighty divine child. In terms of status alone, even the Grand Elder of the temple must show the respect due to a subordinate in front of a divine child.
As for people with peaceful and magnanimous temperaments, there are many such people in Daqi. Whether it is Emperor Yi Jiusheng or Empress Dongfang Ruoyun of Daqi, they are different from emperors and empresses in the traditional sense.
They don't have that kind of airs, nor do they seek absolute respect or fear from their subordinates; instead, they are more like family members, peaceful and harmonious.
And the same applies to Prime Minister Dongfang Zhige, Crown Prince Yiboqi, and even Princess Xiaogu and Yijiu.
In terms of status, Huang Jiu and his gang were all incredibly high-ranking in Daqi, but none of them had the spoiled nature of a playboy who bullied the kind-hearted every day.
Even Zhang Youzhao was the same.
As the third young master of the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect, his status is among the top in the entire Zhongming Imperial Land, but he spends his days mingling with ordinary disciples and has no airs of superiority whatsoever.
This is why the Nine Heavens Profound Dao Sect has such peculiar rules, yet its disciples have such a strong sense of belonging to the sect.
She herself was a broad-minded person, so when a mere maidservant by Que Yue Li's side dared to give Que Sheng a hard time and speak coldly, Que Sheng would still bend over and stick out her buttocks to say, "Sister is absolutely right."
Having seen it all, the two of them immediately felt that this guy's humility and weakness were a bit excessive.
Behind excessive weakness and magnanimity, there must be something ulterior, especially for these two who are masters of playing dumb to deceive others.
Que Sheng's strategy was full of flaws.
That's too deliberate.
Being magnanimous isn't the way to play it, and being without desires is even more wrong. If you're without desires, why the hell did you deliberately leak the news of Que Ti's presence in the boundary battlefield to Jin Mantang?
"Wu Yu Wu Qiu, why the hell did you team up with us to take down Que Yue Li? Wu Yu Wu Qiu, what the hell are you doing, taking the two of us out here all day long?"
So the two of them started to go against the grain, behaving more and more excessively in front of Que Sheng.
Que Sheng's behavior confirmed their suspicions; there really was something wrong with her.
He was humble and polite to their faces, readily obeying their every word, but the coldness in his eyes when he turned away was clearly seen by both of them.
For Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao, this subtle exchange of glances had already exposed Que Sheng's ulterior motives.
Because whether Qin Feng or Zhang Youzhao are pretending to be weak while actually being strong, their expressions and eyes will not change at all, whether in front of others or behind their backs.
This is the ultimate level of pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
Through their secret investigation, the two discovered that Que Sheng arrived at the Vermilion Bird Temple ten years ago, but the Que Sheng of ten years ago and the Que Sheng of today are completely different people.
Upon arriving at the Vermilion Bird Temple, Que Sheng was incredibly arrogant and acted in an extremely domineering manner.
However, after visiting the place where the Vermilion Bird God was in seclusion, Que Sheng's temperament underwent a fundamental change.
In his own words, it was only after receiving divine instruction that the resentment in his heart was completely eradicated.
But Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao knew that things were definitely not that simple.
The two of them were very qualified to speak on this matter. Even Xiao Boqi and Zhang Kaifeng couldn't solve their problems, yet some so-called god could change them with a few words of teaching.
Are you trying to fool your father?
So after exchanging a glance, the two began to stare intently at Que Sheng, this scoundrel whose acting skills were clearly subpar.
Que Sheng's routine was simple: cultivation, meetings, and going out to show his approachable side.
Then, at Jin Mantang's suggestion, he acted assertively, and finally returned to his residence with utmost humility to begin his cultivation.
Everything seemed normal, but Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao still noticed something was amiss amidst this apparent normalcy.
Because Que Sheng would always go to the highest point of the Vermilion Bird Divine City to look out whenever he went out, he said that it gave him a sense of having everything under control.
Upon hearing his statement, both Qin Feng and Zhang Youzhao simultaneously thought the same thing.
Go to hell.
Your constantly shifting, upward gaze betrays you; that little squinting look, do you think it can fool your dad?
Faced with the immense turmoil within the divine land and the corruption and factional strife within the entire temple, Que Sheng did not utter a single opinion.
It was as if all of this was completely insignificant to him.
It was as if he wasn't worried about how the divine land would turn out, and was waiting for something.
But recently he has been coming to the highest point of Suzaku City more and more often, and the changes in his eyes have become more and more apparent.
The highest point of the Vermilion Bird Divine City is called...
Star-receiving platform.
