Chapter 91 I really won’t lie to you this time
As Xie Huai spoke, he coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He seemed to want to tilt his head to let the blood flow out from the corner of his mouth, but his neck was almost unable to move. He could only choke violently, and his face and neck turned red.
"Tsk." Ruan Xing was afraid that he would choke to death and waste one of her healing pills, so she wiped away the excess blood with the corner of his dirty robe with some disgust.
"Excuse me, I need you to get me a few more healing pills for my current injury."
Xie Huai said calmly, looking at Ruan Xing with his dark and deep eyes, as if he had made up his mind that he would not say anything unless Ruan Xing saved him.
"Hey, healing pills are very valuable. Your hush money is only enough for me to use one to save you."
Her second-grade healing pills could be sold at a high price of seventy-one bottles during the discussion.
As for Xie Huai, we are already acquaintances, so it’s not too much to give him a friendship price of one hundred spirit stones per ball.
"It's in my storage bag... but I can't open it now. When I can move again, I'll pay you back double."
Now that he needed help from others, Xie Huai's tone was rarely weak.
Ruan Xing said: "Ten times."
Xie Huai said without hesitation: "Okay."
"Huh? So generous?" Ruan Xing muttered in surprise. Anyway, she was definitely going to save Xie Huai in this simulation. After all, she still had to ask questions. Her habitual bargaining was just to test Xie Huai's psychology a little more.
She took out a bottle of healing pills and poured them into Xie Huai's mouth without even looking at them.
“Ugh… cough cough! Enough, enough…”
"Can you be a little less serious when you yell?" Ruan Xing said coldly.
The corners of Xie Huai's eyes turned red, and he glared at her weakly, then half-closed his eyes and began to use his magic power to dissolve the effects of the medicine and heal his injuries.
Ruan Xing was bored as he watched Xie Huai practice internal energy to heal his wounds, counting the time in his mind.
After about six hours, Xie Huai finally woke up.
He sat up slowly with a trembling body, his pale hands covering his chest, an expression of unsuppressed pain on his face.
Ruan Xing couldn't help but say something sarcastic, "Hey, look at you, you used your own ultimate move to get yourself into this state, you're really asking for trouble."
"It has to be this way." Xie Huai smiled bitterly, "I must be able to do it before I am qualified to return to the Demon Realm."
The Demonic Realm is the Northern Territory, just with a different name.
Ruan Xing didn't know much about the Northern Territory, she had only heard one or two words about it, but in her impression, it seemed that all the demon cultivators had nowhere to stay in the Five States, so they were all driven to the Northern Territory?
From what Xie Huai said, is the Northland a place of pilgrimage? Is it noble? People who go there must have made achievements?
Ruan Xing thought so and asked.
Xie Huai shook his head, a trace of bitterness on his face, "Any demon cultivator in this world can stay in the Demon Realm. It is not a place where life is peaceful and tranquil. If given a choice, most demon cultivators would not want to live there. I am the only one who wants to go but cannot."
"Why is this?" Ruan Xing was puzzled.
But this time, Xie Huai no longer answered every question.
He was silent for a while and changed the subject, "Don't you want to return to the sect's secret realm safely?"
"Yes, otherwise why would I save you? You'd better not lie to me. It's not difficult for me to kill you in your current situation."
Xie Huai lowered his head and said quietly: "This time, I won't lie to you."
Ruan Xing still didn't believe it, "Then swear."
Xie Huai: ...
He looked at Ruan Xing helplessly, sighed and said, "I swear..."
Damn, you still want to deceive her!
Ruan Xing reminded angrily: "Add your name!"
"...I, Xie Huai, swear that no matter what happens this time, I will never lie to Liu Bo a single word. If I break my oath, I will never get what I want in my life."
"You still want to use a fake name to deceive me, right?" Ruan Xing complained weakly.
"I'm not lying to you. My real name is Xie Huai." Xie Huai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "No one knows me, so why would I make up a fake name? I lied to you in Hanshan Secret Realm because I didn't want other outer disciples to recognize me."
"So... the face is real too?"
"it is true."
Ruan Xing felt a little uncomfortable. "Then I heard that you demon cultivators have a magic trick called the Shapeshifting Technique that is derived from the transformation of monsters..."
Xie Huai was a little confused, not knowing why Ruan Xing brought this up, but he still explained: "There is such a technique. If it is mastered, the mimicry can deceive even the Guixu stage. However, the human race is not like monsters. Even monsters in the Qi training stage have a lifespan of hundreds of years. Even if the illusion technique is compressed to the extreme, it still takes at least hundreds of years to master. No one will waste a hundred years for a technique that is of little use. So this technique gradually became useless and no longer appears. How did you hear about it?"
Haha, no wonder it took her decades to reach the second level in the simulation...
Ruan Xing was a little frustrated. "Forget it. Never mind. It's not important anymore."
"Are you satisfied? Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xie Huai said in a flat tone.
Ruan Xing nodded and said, "Yes, what's going on with Xu Sixi?"
Although she felt that Xu Sixi's position in the sect made it impossible for him to betray the sect and collude with the evil cultivators, she still had to ask just to be safe.
Xie Huai thought about it and almost forgot about this person because he was not important.
"It was just a business relationship. I lent him the mask and he helped me change my opponent. This way I didn't have to worry about being exposed during the competition. That's all."
At that time, he just wanted to borrow Xu Sixi's power to discuss the Dao on the Golden Platform. He gave him the mask magic weapon and encouraged him to enter the secret realm in order to get rid of him and then take the magic weapon back.
However, he did not expect that Fu Qinghong and Fu Yu would be a bit difficult to deal with, which was beyond his expectations.
After Xie Huai answered, he looked at Ruan Xing quietly, waiting for something.
"Um..." Ruan Xing scratched his chin, "Can you please send it again? Actually, my real name is Ruan Xing."
"..." After a suspicious silence, Xie Huai swore again and finally got the names of both people correct.
Ruan Xing couldn't think of anything else to ask for the time being. If there was anything, he could ask it in the next simulation when he remembered it. "Can you tell me how to get out now?"
"Wait a little longer, don't worry, I'll keep it for two more days."
Today is already the fourth day. In two days, the two monks should be here. However, the formation mechanism at the door has been violently destroyed by Ruan Xing. I wonder if they will choose to come down or leave when they see the messy entrance to the passage?
"It won't last two days." Ruan Xing said, "Unless you are ready for a fight in two days, I won't help you because I can't win either."
This was the truth. One of the two cultivators was in the late foundation building stage, and the other in the middle foundation building stage. If they hadn't been injured and caught off guard, she would have had no chance of winning even if she launched a sneak attack.
Selfishly speaking, she didn't want to meet those two people in the tree hole. They would definitely see the bodies of Fu Yu and his sister, and might come up to fight to the death. She hadn't asked for a way to leave the secret realm safely yet, and she didn't want to waste this simulation.
Hearing this, Xie Huai sighed deeply. He knew that this tree hole was not safe. Someone could come in at any time. The trap he set up at the entrance of the passage must have disappeared. Moreover, if he met someone now, he would not be able to fight back. He could only rely on Ruan Xing. He took a step back and said, "Then one day."
He had recovered some of his magic power and could move. He took out his storage bag and took out ten bottles of healing pills for Ruan Xing, and then took out one bottle for himself.
So many healing pills? Could they have been purchased from Xu Sixi?
Ruan Xing put the huge sum of money into the storage bag with a frown on his face, and waited for Xie Huai for another day with his chin in his hand.
She didn't dare to enter into meditation and practice in front of Xie Huai, or do anything else. As she said, demon cultivators were not trustworthy. Sometimes you could trust them temporarily for the sake of profit, but you must always be careful not to leave any loopholes.
Finally, it was the fifth day. While Ruan Xing was in a trance, Xie Huai had changed into clean clothes without knowing when. He also dressed neatly and had regained his image of a handsome and elegant young man. There was no sign at all of the dying man he had been a few days ago.
Ruan Xing looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Are you okay now?"
Xie Huai's mouth drew a perfect arc, "Guess what."
Ruan Xing curled her lips and said, "Pretending."
She trotted over and picked up the large piece of soul-nourishing wood. "This is mine. Is that okay?"
"It's up to you." The soul-nourishing wood was of no use to him. Although he could sell it for 10,000 or 20,000 spirit stones, it was not necessary for him to have a rift with Ruan Xing at this time. Besides, Ruan Xing had just saved him. As an evil ghost cultivator, she needed the soul-nourishing wood even more. Xie Huai didn't even look at her. He walked over and picked up the sect's jade tablets scattered on the ground. After identifying them, he picked out one of them and started sending a group message.
With a buzzing sound, several other jade plates also lit up at the same time.
Ruan Xing blinked to adapt to the sudden change of color in front of him.
Xie Huai suddenly spoke up, "Hanshan Secret Realm is controlled by Xuanbing Sect, and has been thoroughly controlled inside and out. However, Jintai Secret Realm is different. They do not control this secret realm. They just open a door for people to enter and exit every once in a while when the secret realm space is at its most vulnerable. Therefore, we cultivators cannot leave after entering, and can only open another door from the inside."
"Fu Yu and the other two are the ones sent to open the door. This towering tree that has long been dead is the core of the secret realm. However, after being disturbed by me, the destination of this door has become the Demon Realm. I want to return to the Demon Realm through this door, and the more than one hundred inner sect rookies of the Xuanbing Sect in this secret realm are my tickets to return to the Demon Realm. Once my tickets are all sold, I will leave the secret realm and withdraw my interference, allowing you to return to the sect safely."
"I can withdraw the interference and let you go, but you can't lose my ticket."
There was a determination in his eyes.
"Okay." The only disciples who had had a few words with Ruan Xing were Fu Qinghong, Xiong Dacheng, and Xu Sixi. She didn't really care whether these people lived or died.
But she changed her mind and realized that Xie Huai's magic weapon that could hide his cultivation was still with Xu Sixi, so she said, "Xu Sixi's mask magic weapon..."
"I don't have the ability to look for him now. If he is still alive, he should have left after receiving the message. Then I can naturally take back the magic weapon. If he died in the secret realm, then I can do nothing about it. If he hasn't left by the time I leave the secret realm and withdraw my interference, then the magic weapon has nothing to do with me from now on. If you have the ability to take it, it will be yours."
"Okay." Ruan Xing thought about it and nodded.
Every time she came in, she threw away the jade token because she couldn't collect information while avoiding being chased.
But she has already figured out what to do next time.
Ruan Xing patiently waited with Xie Huai for three days. Originally, she was worried that the two cultivators would come, but Xie Huai vowed that all the cultivators in Zhongzhou would leave after receiving the news about Fu Yu. Fu Yu seemed to have a very high prestige among the cultivators in Zhongzhou.
He really guessed it right, these three days were peaceful.
On the eighth day, Xie Huai finally said, "I'm leaving now. After I leave, you can return to the sect safely in an hour. But, as an evil cultivator like you, why do you want to continue staying in Nanzhou? Wouldn't it be better for you to return to the Demon Realm with me so that you don't have to worry all day long?"
"Everyone has their own aspirations, so just don't worry about it." She is not an evil cultivator, she is practicing the righteous way, okay? After perfunctorily answering Xie Huai, she said, "By the way, what is the relationship between you and the old man in gray clothes outside, the Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator, why is he so cooperative with you?"
Xie Huai suddenly realized something, and then said, "About... he is my master."
Are you demon cultivators so vague and uncertain about your master? Ruan Xing didn't understand.
"Goodbye." Xie Huai folded his hands and bowed, then took out the jade token and left the secret realm.
Ruan Xing couldn't help but admire him a little, this kid really took acting as a habit, till the end he still maintained the polite demeanor of 'Xuanbing Sect disciple Xie Huai' instead of like a 'demon cultivator Xie Huai'.
Ruan Xing picked up a jade token at random on the ground. The owner of the jade token was dead. She easily gained the command power of the jade token with the same Tongxuan Sutra spiritual power as the previous owner. After waiting for an hour, she couldn't wait to use the jade token to leave the secret realm.
After a moment of dizziness, Ruan Xing opened his eyes and saw the clear sky, vast sea, lush mountains and forests, singing birds and fragrant flowers. He couldn't help but laugh three times, "Hahaha! I'm out!"
When she calmed down, she found that there were several inner disciples in the late foundation building stage around her, looking at her with strange eyes.
Ruan Xing seemed to be able to read their thoughts from their eyes.
"Who is this? He came out after eight days. He's so happy. Did he have an adventure?"
'I don't think so. I think he's crazy. How pitiful.'
These disciples looked familiar; they were all referees during the discussion on the Golden Platform, and now they were ordered to guard the teleportation array leading to the secret realm.
Generally speaking, unless you encounter danger in the secret realm and have to come out, and you have finally entered, it would be a waste of time to come out so early, and you might even miss an adventure.
According to past practice, basically no one would come out in the first month, so Ruan Xing's situation was really rare.
She suddenly realized, oh yes... I still need to explain the situation in the secret realm, but... she was the only one who came out alive, this was too suspicious...
Even if she really did nothing and told the truth about the big thing Xie Huai had done, no one would believe it.
If you didn't conspire with them, why would they let you go?
Oh no, it seems like she has to take the blame for Xie Huai.
Thanks to FANYG for the monthly ticket~
