Chapter 1156
Yuji was a smart woman that even a terrifying character such as the Joyous Palace Master once regarded her as a think tank . It was also thanks to her wisdom that the latter also feared her and thus sent her out to deal with the issues on the front lines .
Prior to this, it was Tang Xiu's strength that made her apprehensive, yet she didn't choose to betray the Joyous Palace Master even though she faced the threat of death . She did agree to submit to Tang Xiu orally but was very resistant to the idea inwardly . Even after getting the treatment, she had already planned to challenge Tang Xiu to probe his strength further, while at the same time, prepping her escape at any time .
At this moment, however, her heart went cold as only now did she realize that this young Chinese cultivator not only had cultivated his strength to the extreme but also had frightening wisdom . He seemed to be able to see through her intentions and arranged the array while she was recuperating .
What should I do? Do I really have to submit to him?
But how should I deal with the restriction seal cast on me, then? I may be able to suppress it temporarily if I do choose to escape . But the seal will definitely affect me after some time . I'm gonna lose my mind by then and nothing I can do but die at that time .
Tang Xiu, still sitting cross-legged on the big bluestone, calmly observed Yuji's grim and ugly expression . Afterward, he slowly asked during her silence, "Do you know why haven't I pressed you for an answer about the situation in your Joyous Palace before?"
With a thoughtful look, Yuji answered, "You thought that I can't escape?"
"That's only one of many reasons . " Tang Xiu shook his head . "But not the main one . "
"So what's the reason, then?" asked Yuji with a frown .
"When I freed you from my sealing technique, I also cast another one on you . It's just that you didn't notice it . Of course, I also noticed the other restriction that has been cast on you previously . My guess is that restriction must be cast by the Joyous Palace Master on you, so as to prevent you from betraying them . "
"You can detect it?" exclaimed Yuji in surprise .
"If I proclaim myself to be the first in magical and secret arts, I dare say nobody dares to aim for the second in this world . Such a minor seal cast by some Buddhist cultivator at the Spirit Formation Stage is nothing but a joke to me . Removing it is very easy to be done . " Tang Xiu sneered .
Only now did Yuji's expression drastically changed . She stared at Tang Xiu and said, "I'll sell you this life of mine if you really can remove this seal cast by the Joyous Palace Master . "
"Don't say it like your life is valuable to me . " Tang Xiu shook his head . "Just your current level of cultivation, many of the men under me will reach this level a few years . The sole reason I haven't killed you and even wasted medicinal pills is chiefly for the intention to make you help Kuwako to handle her affairs in Japan . Do you really think I've fallen for you otherwise, huh?"
Yuji fell into silence . She knew almost nothing about Tang Xiu . Naturally, she had no idea whether Tang Xiu was saying the truth . But one thing was certain . This Chinese cultivator in front of her was the most dreadful person she'd ever met . Even the Joyous Palace Master was likely under him .
"So, who is this Master of Joyous Palace, then?" asked Tang Xiu in a deep voice .
Yuji herself actually didn't want to answer the questioning as she hadn't yet gotten Tang Xiu's promise . But after recalling how terrifying this man was, and the fact she couldn't escape, she finally decided to gamble . She replied in a deep voice, "I'm not particularly clear about his identity, either . I only know that he came to Japan about a century ago, and then established the Joyous Palace from scratch on his own . Rumors have it that he appeared as a monk in public when he first came to Japan then . "
Suddenly, she seemed to recall something else and added more, "That's right, there's another thing . He should be from China since he spoke Chinese when he just came here . After living here for some time, only then did he gradually learn Japanese . "
"My guess is, he should be from the Joyous Sect . I once heard from a friend in the cultivation world that the Buddhist Tantric school has a splinter group called Joyous Sect or something . Unfortunately, the principle and essential teaching of this sect is like day and night with the Buddhist sects and thus, the rest of the Buddhist sects can no longer tolerate and accommodate it, resulting in the incident where all the members of Joyous Sect were either killed or discarded . It's very likely that your Joyous Palace Master is the surviving member of that Joyous Sect . "
As he spoke up to there, he took out a mobile phone and dialed Miao Wentang's number . After the latter picked up his call, he spoke, "I need your help, Brother Miao . "
"On what issue?" replied Miao Wentang . "Just tell me and I'll do it as long as it's within my ability . "
"We had a chat before and you mentioned some issues pertaining to the Buddhist sects," said Tang Xiu . "I want you to make a trip to the Buddhist Sect in person and tell them about some issues . "
"And, what issue is it, exactly?" asked Miao Wentang .
