Luo Wusheng's mouth twitched.
He knew that the reason she mentioned was not the true underlying reason, but it did touch a sore spot.
If he had a Tribulation Crossing cultivation level as well, there is no way that he would let thing get this messyEven if the Buddhist Sect still attacked him instead of doing something from behind the curtain, he could at least put up a fight and not end up as cannon fodder like in the original work.
But on the other hand, this white-haired little loli had quite a sharp tongue, which seemed quite different from the sophisticated chess player and calculating character he had imagined the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower to be.
He could only keep those thoughts to himself and avoid having it being detected by her [Art of Divination].
There was no way around it when it came to a Golden Core cultivator dealing with a Tribulation Crossing cultivator.
Especially when he couldn't figure out what this Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower was thinking, he had to be cautious in his responses.
So he sighed and stood up from the ground.
"I do have the intention to rescue the Netherqueen, and as you said, my cultivation is incapable of achieving that."
Since the other party had already seen through half of the plot he had read, he could only offer the corresponding sincerity.
After all, he currently needed the assistance of a Tribulation Crossing cultivator to have a chance at helping the Netherqueen break free.
Luo Wusheng had his own plans.
By rescuing the Netherqueen, he could prevent the collapse of the plot he knew and reduce the chances of unexpected events occurring.
Moreover, based on his knowledge of the Netherqueen from the original work, her character was trustworthy, or else she wouldn't have become one of Little Yuli's girls.
In that case, helping her would also earn him the highest level of favorability.
Furthermore, considering the other party's identity.
A harem member of the protagonist, a peak Tribulation Crossing expert, and the former Monarch of the Netherkin Nation.
The Netherqueen, with these three titles, was an even more powerful ally than the Immortal Nation Empress.
If he could establish a good relationship with the Netherqueen, the increase in his own safety would be tremendous.
And then, if he could also win over the Empress, he would have the Immortal Nation, the Taoist Sect, the Netherkin Nation Pro-Netherqueen Faction, and the Demon Sect, all on his side.
Even if the Buddhist Sect lost their minds, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble for him, right?
Thinking up to this point, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but feel a bit impatient.
Rescue the Netherqueen, cultivate the relationship a bit, give her a Star-Moon Jade to solidify her favorability toward him— it would be absolutely wonderful!
But he first looked at Yue Xuanji across from him.
Could he trust this Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower?
Although her appearance was quite befitting of a member of the protagonist's harem, and it does gave him a good impression, she was still the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower, a Peak Tribulation Crossing cultivator capable enough to manipulate the world behind-the-scene.
Accepting help also meant that he might become one of her pawns.
'No— since she took the initiative to find me and has been paying attention to my ever-changing destiny, it should mean that I'm already part of her scheme...'
Thinking this from a different perspective, it was highly likely that he had already attracted the attention of the Buddhist Sect. If he could borrow the power of this expert in front of him, the benefits obtained would be considerable.
Unfortunately, this grandma [Art of Divination] is simply too strong, knowing all the hidden secrets related to his Star-Moon Jade. It won't be easy to improve his favorability with her.
On the other side, seeing him admit it and stand up, Yue Xuanji seemed to furrow her brows for the first time.
She also stood up from her crouching position.
Her small feet were clean and untouched by dust, even though she didn't wear shoes or socks under her robe.
"I can help you safely rescue the Netherqueen, but everything in this world has cause and effect, and practitioners of [Art of Divination] like me attach great importance to it. Therefore, you will need to pay something in return— Well, it won't be too difficult for you."
Looking at Yue Xuanji, who floated up and leveled her cute little head at the same height as his own, Luo Wusheng's expression became somewhat strange as he nodded, "That's only natural. May I ask what the Tower Master wants?"
"Hmm…. I also want a piece of 'the only' Star-Moon Jade' in this world."
Yue Xuanji said, raising one finger.
Luo Wusheng keenly caught the slight curve of her lips and the slightly emphasized tone when she said the words "the only."
Sure enough, the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower was not the cold and calculating loli who held the secrets of the world and manipulated millions of lives like chess pieces as he had originally imagined. From the look of it, perhaps due to being stuck looking like a child for too long, she started to gain the characteristic that matched her current appearance.
'But still, if she only wants a single Star-Moon Jade, I can accept it, it can be said that I'm getting a good deal, considering I want her help on releasing the Netherqueen from her restraints, but….'
Something still feels off.
However, as Yue Xuanji mentioned earlier, with her Peak Tribulation Crossing foundation and the mastery over the [Art of Divination], she values cause and effect greatly, so anything she says will in some way affect the present so that it would make the world goes to the future that she want.
Since she offered to help him rescue the Netherqueen in exchange for a single Star-Moon Jade, she would be unlikely to go back on her word.
With that in mind, Luo Wusheng no longer worried about the true purpose of the other party. He patted his storage pouch, and a piece of Star-Moon Jade flew out from it.
The Star-Moon Jade was shaped like stars surrounding the moon, with starlight dots gathering on the periphery and a flawless moon color at the center.
Luo Wusheng was about to hand the Star-Moon Jade to the girl in front of him when he noticed that she didn't extend her hand to take it.
He was somewhat puzzled, and Yue Xuanji spoke in her usual indifferent tone, "Hmm, when you gave away the Star-Moon Jade in the past, did you not do it with some flattering ceremony with great eartness? Do you think I am not of the same level as those girls?"
Hearing these words, Luo Wusheng was slightly taken aback, and countless question marks appeared in his mind.
Was she expecting him to do the same thing he did when he gave it to his Junior Sister, Little Yuli, and Yao Ji?
Does this girl like the sense of ritual?
But she knows that there is more than one Star-Moon Jade, so doing all those things in this situation seems...
Luo Wusheng took a deep breath and shook his head to clear his mind.
Isn't it just about the sense of ritual? He has done it three times already, and no one knows the procedure better than he does.
"Does the Tower Master want to have it mounted on something?"
"Did you ask this question when you gave it away to the other girls previously?"
"Ah, I see, I understand."
Luo Wusheng opened and closed his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him with a slightly different gaze. She no longer seemed to be a Tribulation Crossing cultivator high above him.
He patted his storage pouch, and several materials flew out from it.
With his skillful manipulation, the Star-Moon Jade was combined with these materials, forming a bracelet shape.
"May I borrow the Tower Master's hand for a moment?"
He looked at Yue Xuanji, and she raised her tender white hand, seemingly indifferent.
As Luo Wusheng gently placed the Star-Moon Jade bracelet on her hand, a faint glimmer appeared in Yue Xuanji's starry eyes.
Luo Wusheng smiled gently.
"Though the Star-Moon Jade is beautiful, it can only serve as an embellishment to miss Yue's heavenly beauty..."
His voice paused for a moment, but he continued, "The one and only unique Star-Moon Jade in this world is indeed prepared for Miss Yue."
Suppressing his inner awkwardness, Luo Wusheng discreetly observed the girl's expression.
He saw Yue Xuanji retract her hand and look at the Star-Moon Jade bracelet on her wrist, then glanced at Luo Wusheng with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
'You truly are an interesting person~ I really want to use my [Art of Divination] to see how the other three women would react when they find out their Jade is not the only one in the world…'
