How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 214: There Is a Girl Who Is Just That Sincere

Chapter 214: Chapter 214: There Is a Girl Who Is Just That Sincere

Xiang Yixiu stared closely at the material, reading it all the way through.

"So, how do you feel about this? Any psychological hurdles in killing this person?" Lin Xiaosu asked.

Xiang Yixiu let out a long sigh, "Lin Xiaosu, remember this well. The pit you’ve dug for me, I will return to you tenfold, in time!"

Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily, "Hahaha! A little reminder for you. If you want to dig a pit for me, you must first be my ally! If you’re not my ally, you wouldn’t even know where I’ve stepped, so how can you dig a pit for me?"

Xiang Yixiu gently shook his head, "Agreeing to do this doesn’t mean I’m your ally. I’m doing it for my conscience and the honor of my master! I don’t want my master’s century-long efforts to be ruined by an unworthy disciple, to be ultimately spat upon by the world!"

"Look at you... such awareness!" Lin Xiaosu stood up, "We should get going!"

"Let’s move!"

Blood Trace’s figure flickered and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, Lin Xiaosu also disappeared.

A moment later, the two walked side by side through the grove below, their hands moving simultaneously behind their heads, disappearing once again.

Xiang Yixiu stood on the rooftop, watching them, his face unreadable...

At Nanjiang University, on a small path...

Lin Xiaosu and Blood Trace walked side by side, their pace slowing...

Suddenly, Blood Trace placed a foot on a green stone, turning around slowly.

Lin Xiaosu also stopped.

The surroundings were empty, only the autumn wind blew lightly.

Blood Trace said, "Actually, this idea came from Blue Demon. She mentioned it after returning from the Southern Border, saying the assassination of Du Tiange in Qingmian Country inspired her."

The assassination of Du Tiange in Qingmian Country was a perfect example of military strategy.

Du Tiange was in Qingmian Country, surrounded by his men. Lin Xiaosu and his team didn’t even know where he was hiding.

Using ordinary methods against Du Tiange was simply impossible.

But Lin Xiaosu devised a plan to "borrow the enemy’s power," disguising himself as Du Tiange to take out Taye, a subordinate of Kun Sha, prompting Kun Sha to reveal Du Tiange.

All strategies have commonalities.

Blue Demon extrapolated and proposed using the same principle to deal with the White Clothed King—she would disguise herself as the White Clothed King and attack the Nine Headed Snake’s stronghold, inciting enmity between the Nine Headed Snake and the White Clothed King to flush out the snake.

This strategy is almost identical to today’s plan by Lin Xiaosu.

The only difference was, instead of Blue Demon or himself, a master of disguise, Lin Xiaosu chose Xiang Yixiu to impersonate.

Lin Xiaosu said, "King Lantian’s plan is indeed brilliant, but it doesn’t surpass Xiang Yixiu’s."

Blood Trace asked, "Because neither Blue Demon nor you can replicate the White Clothed King’s killing techniques, but Xiang Yixiu can?"

"That’s one reason! The most distinctive feature of the White Clothed King is his killing method, not his appearance! He always wears a silver mask, effectively making a disguise redundant. Such a person appears easy to impersonate but is actually impossible to replicate."

Disguise Technique can transform anyone’s face.

But Disguise Technique cannot transform into someone who is already disguised.

It’s not about getting his appearance gear, that’s too simple, anyone can obtain his attire, but would that convince others that the White Clothed King committed the deed? Impossible!

Therefore, one cannot impersonate someone who is already a disguise.

Blood Trace’s eyes glistened, "That’s one reason... what’s the second?"

"The second reason, don’t you think this is the best way to turn him to our side?" Lin Xiaosu smiled.

Blood Trace was impressed...

His target wasn’t just the White Clothed King!

Xiang Yixiu himself was also his target!

Getting Xiang Yixiu to act means he’s joining their ranks. Once on this ship, getting off wouldn’t be easy...

Blood Trace pondered, "Haven’t you noticed that Xiang Yixiu is wary, perhaps even resistant, to this whole scheme?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaosu said, "He keeps emphasizing two points: acting on conscience and maintaining his master’s honor. He deliberately avoids... national interest."

Blood Trace nodded slightly, "Since he’s deliberately avoiding it, why did he ultimately accept?"

"Because... he actually understands two things very clearly!" Lin Xiaosu’s expression turned peculiar...

"What two things?"

"One, he knows that since we’ve targeted his sect, we will pursue it to the end. Second, his sect cannot withstand such scrutiny!"

Blood Trace’s face changed slightly, "So, he’s doing this as a form of redemption for his sect?"

"That’s one way to see it," Lin Xiaosu said.

They both fell silent...

With a few words, they pushed the just-finished commission one step further.

Xiang Yixiu is a very shrewd person.

He’s not that easily manipulated.

Asking a university professor to commit murder, he has a thousand reasons to refuse, especially if he doesn’t want to do it in the first place. He has even more reasons to say no.

He only needs to refuse, and no one could force him into action.

The reasons are ready-made, and they seemed evident from his first meeting with Blood Trace: I’m a university professor, my duty is to impart knowledge and training, I’m responsible for educating talents for Daxia Country. I’m accountable to Daxia; other matters are not my responsibility!

These points were well-established from the start. Can you say Xiang Yixiu isn’t cautious?

But why did he later accept what he initially didn’t want to do?

It’s only because he’s too cautious...

He’s too shrewd...

He knows what his fellow sect member did had already violated the heavenly laws and couldn’t end well!

He also knows the implications of Qianlong King’s and Lin Xiaosu’s attention.

It meant his sect was on the brink of disaster!

In such circumstances, if Xiang Yixiu remained detached, the consequences would be unmanageable.

So, he took on this task, using his own way to redeem his sect...

"Xiang Yixiu is really devoted to his sect..." Blood Trace exhaled lightly, "But it also depends on whether his sect is worth redeeming."

"So, perhaps I should pay a visit to Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple..." Lin Xiaosu said.

His voice suddenly cut off.

Blood Trace followed his gaze, slightly furrowing his brow. Could it be? Lin Xiaosu, I know you always have luck with encounters, but did you meet someone here on campus too?

Otherwise, why would you give such a look when facing a female student?

Indeed, a female student was running towards them from the path.

From Blood Trace’s perspective, she didn’t seem to fit the taste of a lustful person.

She was small, probably not even five feet tall.

At most 90 pounds.

Flat-chested, unremarkable figure, hidden inside her clothes.

Except for the blush on her face, she was quite ordinary...

But this Lin Xiaosu, a detective who theoretically has seen all kinds of women, seemed a bit shaken?

"Dawa!" Lin Xiaosu took a step forward.

Indeed, the person coming was Dawa, the Tibetan girl who once traveled with Lin Xiaosu.

Dawa quickened her pace, "Brother Su, I saw you from afar and thought it was you. It really is you."

"Isn’t it though? I didn’t expect to see you again either."

Dawa asked, "How’s little Ye doing?"

Lin Xiaosu’s smile froze, and he sighed lightly, "Still the same..."

"Brother Su, don’t worry!" Dawa smiled, "After our last adventure, I went somewhere and got something, but I couldn’t contact you. So, I could only trust in Eternal Heaven and pray for you to appear on campus. Eternal Heaven heard me, and you came... Here!"

She took something from her pocket and handed it to Lin Xiaosu.

It was a small wooden bottle, made of ebony, smooth and polished, carrying her body warmth, and when shaken, it seemed to contain water...

"What is this..."

"This is Holy Branch Dew, which can cure any extraordinary poison!"

One sentence, twelve words...

Lin Xiaosu’s heart surged with waves.

During their journey together, he had told a story. I ventured into Miyan Road because my girlfriend little Ye had been poisoned and needed the jietai fruit from Miyan Road or the Holy Branch Dew and Water Spirit Ice Heart from the glacier.

The girl was moved by the story.

Her only thought was to help him.

On the Ice and Fire Twin Bridge, she tried to find the jietai fruit for him.

When the mirage of the Buddha appeared, everyone sought their own fortunes and safety, but she sincerely prayed for Brother Su and his little Ye to find a glimmer of hope.

She prayed to the Buddha, she prayed to Eternal Heaven...

But in the end, they didn’t find the jietai fruit.

They parted ways at Wuxiang Temple, and she entered Kun Cang.

Over a month later, she returned from Kun Cang with the Holy Branch Dew, which was ten times more precious than the jietai fruit.

She had no means to contact him to deliver this life-saving potion, so she prayed to Eternal Heaven in the campus, and under Eternal Heaven’s guidance, Brother Su appeared...

These were the repercussions of that story.

A story Lin Xiaosu had nearly forgotten, she had firmly remembered.

"Dawa..." Lin Xiaosu held the small bottle, his long-unmoved heart surging with emotions.

"Brother Su, please promise me, use this small bottle to light up the sky for you and little Ye!" Dawa clasped her hands, helping Lin Xiaosu grasp his own.

"Alright! I... I’ll head home right away!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"Thank you, Eternal Heaven!" Dawa put a single hand to her chest, bowing deeply to the sky, then happily left...

After she left, Lin Xiaosu quickened his pace, exiting the campus and returning to the hotel...

Behind closed doors, Blood Trace frowned slightly, "What was that about?"

"She was my companion when I ventured into Miyan Road. I told a beautiful love story to integrate into the group. Somehow, this story resonated deeply with her..."

The story was recounted.

Blood Trace was astonished, "That story had such an impact? I found it rather artificial and obviously made up!"

"Stories vary for different audiences, right? You and she aren’t the same!"
