Lu Shiqing's tone displeased Bai Mumu.
"Lu Shiqing, do you still think of yourself as the once glorious third disciple of Zhenlin Peak? Right now, you're the one who needs my help, your life is in my hands. You'd better watch your tone," Bai Mumu said sternly.
Lu Shiqing looked gloomy and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a gasp.
"Third Junior Brother?! Bai Mumu?!" Wen Xuan's voice changed.
Before he could even ponder why Lu Shiqing, who was imprisoned in the Discipline Tower, would appear here, what shocked him even more was that Bai Mumu had actually come back to life.
The fact that these two were actually hanging out together shocked Wen Xuan.
Aside from the regular inspections, Wen Xuan was the one who visited Bai Mumu's cave the most on ordinary days.
Of course, he didn't come here to "remember" Bai Mumu, but rather to try to find clues about the jade token on her.
Whenever I feel lost and confused, I unconsciously end up here, thinking, what if the jade token suddenly appears?
Although he knew in his heart that the jade token had most likely been destroyed by Bai Mumu, he could only hold on to that sliver of hope and keep living by thinking that way.
"You, you guys?!" He pointed at the two people opposite him, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Lu Shiqing's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Wen Xuan to run into them by chance, and his eyes were filled with a fierce look.
He wouldn't allow anyone to sabotage their plans, not even his former senior.
The idea of ending Wen Xuan's life had already taken root in his mind.
Compared to Lu Shiqing's tension, Bai Mumu appeared much more relaxed.
She even turned around and casually spoke to Wen Xuan, "Isn't this my second senior brother? What a coincidence, we meet again."
When he saw that she looked exactly the same as when she was still alive, alarm bells immediately went off in Wen Xuan's mind. "Shut up! Don't call me Second Senior Brother anymore! I don't have a wicked junior sister like you!"
He could never forget how badly Bai Mumu had hurt them!
She didn't forget to call out to Lu Shiqing, "Third Master, Lu Shiqing, come quickly! Don't stay with that evil spirit! Bai Mumu, you..."
"Why is Second Senior Brother so angry?" Bai Mumu interrupted Wen Xuan with a smile, completely unconcerned by his anger. "My coming back to life is a good thing for Second Senior Brother."
"It seems that my second senior brother has already discovered that the jade token he obtained was fake."
"How dare you bring this up again?!" Wen Xuan's chest heaved violently, his face flushed red.
She raised an eyebrow at Wen Xuan, her tone becoming increasingly relaxed, "Second Senior Brother, don't be in such a hurry. Don't you want to get the real jade token? Don't you want to win back Shen Sangruo's feelings for you?"
"What did you say?" Wen Xuan was taken aback at first, then quickly realized what she meant. "You didn't destroy the travel jade token?!"
"Of course, I will take good care of the things my second senior brother gave me, so why would I damage them carelessly?"
The jade token was key to her control over Wen Xuan, and she had always kept it carefully. However, she never expected that she would be killed by Shen Sangruo before she could use it.
But it works the same way now. Look, her second senior brother is completely under her control.
Bai Mumu smiled, tilted her head slightly, and said to Lu Shiqing, "I told you long ago that if you don't cooperate with me, there are plenty of others who will."
Wen Xuan finally realized what was happening and looked at Lu Shiqing in disbelief, "So you were in cahoots with her?! No wonder, no wonder you were able to get out of the Discipline Tower!"
He didn't press Lu Shiqing about why he got involved with Bai Mumu, even though Lu Shiqing was the one who hated Bai Mumu the most in the past.
Wen Xuan knew the answer to this question perfectly well, for he was in the same boat at that moment.
He had already given up hope, thinking he would never have another chance to win back Shen Sangruo's affections, but now things had taken a sudden turn for the better, and he was determined to seize this opportunity no matter what.
Even if it's cooperating with Bai Mumu.
Wen Xuan kept convincing himself that all he needed to do was obtain the travel jade token. He was only pretending to cooperate with them. Once he got it, he would immediately inform Xiao Ruo and the others.
Maybe he can get more information. He'll be fine, he'll be fine.
Lu Shiqing snorted coldly, his face full of mockery, "What, didn't you also choose to stay here to win back her feelings? What are you pretending to be, all noble and righteous?"
If Wen Xuan had simply turned around and told the news to others, he might have thought more highly of him and then killed him.
But since Wen Xuan has chosen to stay, what right does he have to show that disappointed expression to him?
We're all the same kind of people, why does he have to put on this hypocritical act?
Lu Shiqing turned his head, glanced at Wen Xuan, and muttered under his breath, "Disgusting."
Wen Xuan heard these words, and his face immediately turned ugly after being exposed like that.
But he knew there was no need to argue with Lu Shiqing at this moment. The most urgent thing was to get the travel token and figure out what they wanted to do.
Judging from what those two said, they must have reached some kind of cooperation before he arrived.
"How can I obtain the travel jade token? What do you want?" He looked directly at Bai Mumu. "What do you want me to do?"
Bai Mumu, who was thoroughly enjoying watching the two stabbing each other in the back, pretended to ponder, "Let me think it over carefully. I'll let you know when I can use you."
"As for when you will receive that jade pass, that depends on your performance and my mood."
Wen Xuan's appearance was an unexpected situation, and she couldn't think of a way to maximize his value for the time being.
"System, take him into custody. I don't want anyone to be unable to keep their mouth shut and leak secrets."
The moment she was resurrected, the system re-integrated into her soul.
Wen Xuan is different from Lu Shiqing. Lu Shiqing is easier to control the more insane a person is, but Wen Xuan is not necessarily so.
The evil cultivation system said nothing about Bai Mumu's imperious attitude, only sneered and took Wen Xuan into custody.
All his activities will be subject to systemic oversight.
Wen Xuan knew that things might not be as simple as he thought. Cooperating with an evil spirit like Bai Mumu was tantamount to having one foot in the grave, but he really had no other choice.
His smile was bitter.
He will definitely get the jade token and regain his feelings, Xiao Ruo.
After dealing with Wen Xuan's matter, Bai Mumu and Lu Shiqing began to discuss the location for implementing the plan.
Just as they were about to leave, Wen Xuan said, "I suggest we stay here. Master just left, and he probably won't be able to take care of things here for the next while. Zhenlin Peak is the best choice."
Leaving the Flying Cloud Sect together as a group of three actually increased the risk of being discovered.
When he arrived, he saw Lingxiao Zhenren heading aggressively towards Ninghua Sect.
Wen Xuan didn't know why Lingxiao Zhenren would get so angry every time Shen Sang broke through.
