Last night, upon realizing that the Netherqueen was actually Yao Ji, Luo Wusheng had already begun to think about how to best answer any question that might arise from the Netherkin girl.
After all, his position in the recent event was indeed somewhat quite complicated. After helping the Immortal Nation resolve the hidden dangers of the Netherkin Nation soldiers in the Royal City, he had immediately turned to accept Yue Xuanji's help and unseal the Netherqueen at the bottom of the ascending immortality lake.
Fortunately, the Netherqueen was someone he was familiar with, Yao Ji, otherwise, the reasons might have been difficult to explain.
And now, he had prepared a script in his heart and decided on the scapegoat.
His own convenient Master had already been used by him to deceive Miss Kirin. This time, he could only reluctantly put the blame on the little white-haired loli who had been having fun tricking him.
It had to be said that at this moment, Yue Xuanji was a scapegoat he could use without any psychological pressure.
Because she had already exposed almost all of his secrets.
Even the Star-Moon Jade was actively requested by that girl, and she even wanted to empty his treasury.
He didn't know how much of his secrets the scheming Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower had grasped, but he was clear about one thing. If Yue Xuanji decided to target him, just revealing the matter of the Star-Moon Jade would be enough to subject him to the confrontation of 4 different ferocious women.
But so far, the mischievous and somewhat wicked grandma hadn't really pushed him into a corner.
This meant that at least for now, the person manipulating the chess pieces would leave him some room to maneuver.
In addition, the Netherqueen and Tower Master 'Good Friendship' made him think that she might appreciate finding out that her "good friend" is being used as a scapegoat, and even would secretly find it amusing.
"Did the Tower Master tell Young Master this one true identity?"
Yao Ji's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she quickly relaxed her body.
She had actually had a hunch it would be so.
But she couldn't fully trust her own guess.
She had never understood Yue Xuanji's actions. However, that old hag who loved to act like a little girl and pretend to be cute, was the best practitioner in the [Art of Divination], the old hag wouldn't stop constantly talking about the kind of preparation that she had done to get something she want, and never stop to boast about it when she does get it. Many preparations that she has shown to her may have only revealed the tip of the iceberg of what she is truly planning, even now.
But this time, the Nine-Tailed Fox Nethekin couldn't really figure out what kind of thing that old hag wished to gain by approaching Luo Wusheng.
In the end, Luo Wusheng was only in the Peak Golden Core stage. Even with his combat power that is comparable to a Nascent Soul stage expert, he shouldn't have been entrusted with the task of releasing her from her sealing formation.
She and that old hag may love to hurl insult at one another when given the chance, but that's because they are close, not because they hate each other, if she didn't really trust the old hag, she wouldn't have leave the matter of releasing her from her sealing formation to her.
Yet, Yue Xuanji had unilaterally changed the originally agreed plan and chose to let Luo Wusheng do the most critical part of the plan.
What was even more outrageous was that the Demon Sect Holy Saint had actually agreed!
With such a risky matter, even those Netherkin who had served her for many years under her rule didn't have much willingness to step up and shoulder the burden. But the young man in front of her, after disrupting her original plan, personally freed her from the sealing formation.
"... Why?"
She finally asked these three words with a complicated expression.
Why would the Demon Sect Holy Saint, who is known as the human race's pride in the Royal City and is likely to be personally recruited by the Empress of the Immortal Nation, choose to help her, the former Monarch of the Netherkin Nation, at this time?
But Luo Wusheng on the opposite side just calmly smiled and reached out to pick up the small teapot that had already been filled with tea.
The art of making tea was something he had learned during his spare time, although his skill level was not very high, it should be enough to fool people for now.
"Miss Yao Ji, Do you still remember when you first met me at the Red Blossom Pavilion before? You mentioned that you were troubled at that time..."
Luo Wusheng gently filled the teacup and placed it in front of Yao Ji, the tea reflecting her extraordinary beauty.
"At that time, I was thinking, what kind of thing could trouble the heart of Miss Yao Ji, who could replicate the music of heaven using nothing but her Guqin? When she can easily move people's hearts with her music when trouble comes to find her?"
"That day, I did feel that it was a pity for your Guqin skills to be wasted in the Red Blossom Pavilion. I even thought about whether I could ask what kind of thing worried you, thinking that, if possible, I will try my best to help you solve it. But when I saw that Miss Yao Ji had no intention of leaving the Red Blossom Pavilion, I gave up on that idea."
"It wasn't until last night when Miss Yue explained Miss Yao Ji's true identity that I finally understood everything about Miss Yao Ji."
"Perhaps Miss Yao Ji doesn't believe it, but the reason I made that choice last night is actually not complicated. I just wanted to be able to hear Miss Yao Ji music without any worries on both your end and mine. If you must say there are other reasons..."
"Perhaps in my heart, Miss Yao Ji has already become one of the few friends I have had in my life up to this day..."
Luo Wusheng's gaze and tone were sincere, despite all of the things that come out of his mouth are nothing but lies.
Facing such a gaze, the Netherqueen's complexion was somewhat calm and stoic, not showing any emotion, but her heart inexplicably quickened.
Generally speaking, she would only listen to such words half-heartedly, and would forget about it at the next second.
But these words came from Luo Wusheng, who had just taken a great risk last night to release her from her sealing formation..
This made her think more about it in her heart.
She remembered the information she had obtained about this Demon Sect Holy Saint.
In the span of 18 years, despite possessing an unparalleled talent in cultivation, able to achieve the Peak of Golden Core without any issue, there had never been any news of him befriending anyone...
Could it be that she was really one of the few friends that he has?
"It seems Young Master hasn't lost any of his woman pleasing skills, just like before..."
The Netherqueen said this with a calm tone, but the slight spillage of tea when she picked up the teacup had already exposed her inner restlessness.
On the other side, Luo Wusheng keenly caught this point and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed like he had managed to get through this issue.
Speaking of it, he always felt that this Nine-Tailed Fox didn't seem to have the shrewdness that a normal Tribulation Crossing cultivator should have.
Could it's because she's one of Lu Yuliu's future girl? Did the author make Yao Ji like this because he wrote that Lu Yuliu doesn't like shrewd people?
"Cough Cough—"
Luo Wusheng was lost in thought, but he heard the pink haired girl who was drinking tea and tried to calm her emotions coughed twice.
He looked at her in confusion, only to see that some of the tea in the teacup in her hand had spilled out again.
Then she placed the remaining half of the teacup on the table and discreetly pushed it a distance away.
After doing all this, Yao Ji showed a calm smile as if nothing had happened, but her gaze became even more elusive.
"Well... Since the Young Master has brought it up to this point, this one can make a hazy guess what happened next. So, does Young Master have any questions? If this one know the answer to it, she will answer it."
