The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 330 - 292: So What If I Am a Variable?

Chu Huaixu and Niu Yuanshan have special identities and guilty consciences, so they could keenly notice that when this person looked at us, his gaze lingered for an extra moment.

Others watching Cheng Yuyan surveying the crowd wouldn’t notice such details.

Niu Yuanshan, being undercover for many years and experienced, though waves surged in his heart, had no change in expression.

The other party is a master from the Moon Country; what can he do even if he knows his identity?

If he knows, then he knows.

After all, he is still loyal to the [organization].

Just not sure why, he has some slight concern for Chu Huaixu in his heart.

At this moment, Chu Huaixu also remained calm.

Because he felt that Cheng Yuyan, this teasing person, definitely wanted to see him embarrassed, so he insisted on holding back.

As a seasoned "Brother Muzi," doesn’t he have basic facial management skills?

This is a professional skill; everyone has to practice it.

Cheng Yuyan lightly shook his folding fan, looked at Chu Huaixu with a smile, and asked, "So do you plan to enter the Emperor’s Mausoleum or the Emperor’s Pool?"

"The Emperor’s Pool," Chu Huaixu replied.

"Indeed, the Emperor’s Mausoleum only relates to the nation’s fortunes; you’re not from the Moon Country, you’ll only come back empty-handed." He smiled.

"Instead, the Emperor’s Pool, even though Mirror Country people can’t obtain the Emperor’s Divine Thought, can still gain something." Cheng Yuyan said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu couldn’t discern the other party’s intentions.

"Could he be kindly warning me that if I enter the Emperor’s Pool and gain the Emperor’s Divine Thought, it will expose many issues?" thought the Dead Fox.

His Moon Country identity would surely be confirmed!

"According to what he said earlier, the Emperor’s Divine Thought can be refused."

"Anyway, Cheng Yuyan didn’t want this opportunity."

Pieced together, these words seem to indeed contain a hint of warning. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"For what reason?" Chu Huaixu was puzzled.

Or does this guy, who likes to toy with people’s hearts, simply find him special, both in person and identity, and is just playing with him?

So annoying.

He gave Cheng Yuyan a glance.

Already starting to dislike this person.

...

...

As the sun set in the west, the world gradually plunged into darkness.

The eagle can fly normally at night, without any restrictions.

Moreover, due to the characteristics of its demon beast bloodline, it flies even faster at night.

After a few more exchanges, Jiang Zhi suddenly set up a restriction, enclosing only Chu Huaixu, Cheng Yuyan, and Nangong Yue within.

Chu Yinyin, who was isolated outside, immediately widened her eyes.

No way! Below the Seventh Realm, we’re not worthy to know!

Now that I’m in the Seventh Realm, what secrets am I not allowed to hear!

Fine! Fine! So it’s purely aimed at me! Very well! Extremely well!

"Jiang Zhi, you dead old man!"

"Let me in!" she immediately shouted angrily.

All of this was completely ignored by this Daoist Junior Martial Uncle, leaving her powerless and furious outside the restriction.

Jiang Zhi glanced at Chu Huaixu and said, "Didn’t I tell you before, I suspect it’s Ming Xuanji, that old thing, who’s taking action against you?"

The young man in a black and gold long robe nodded.

"Earlier, Cheng Yuyan told me that it was indeed Ming Xuanji, that old dog, who did it, and he was present at the time." He pointed to the scholar beside him.

Cheng the Scholar waved his folding fan and nodded appropriately.

Chu Huaixu glanced at him, wondering why he would sell out Ming Xuanji.

Ming Xuanji took action in front of him without any concealment, there must be a reason.

But upon meeting Jiang Zhi, Cheng Yuyan immediately told him about it, personally confirming the old State Preceptor!

"What is he after?" Chu Huaixu wondered.

Is he truly benevolent?

Or does he have other schemes?

So annoying, damn it, I dislike this person even more.

On the other hand, Jiang Zhi’s purpose for saying these words now is very easy to guess—he just wants Chu Huaixu to be more careful on this trip to the Moon Country.

The Dead Fox thought a bit and deliberately looked up, giving Cheng Yuyan a slightly confused look.

He relied on being young, an age where he couldn’t hide things, sensibly using the advantage of age.

At worst, it would only make the other party think: This kid is not mature and lacks the maturity of youth.

And Chu Huaixu didn’t care about the thoughts of such a person who finds amusement in life.

At the same time, this look was also for Jiang Zhi, to see if this master could enlighten him.

Sure enough, Jiang Zhi said, "Chu Huaixu, although Cheng Yuyan is from the Moon Country, your fifth master has done favors for him."

The Dead Fox immediately understood.

He realized two points.

"First, Jiang Zhi thinks that because of this favor, Cheng Yuyan hopes Zhong Ming can recover and that he stands with us on this matter."

"Second, my master, damn it, you’ve definitely informed Cheng Yuyan about my potential to cure the fifth master!"

But he’s not entirely devoid of schemes.

Does he have at least a few more than Jiang Zhi?

The Dead Fox immediately said, "Master, do you remember when it was that Ming Xuanji took action against me?"

"Don’t you think it’s a bit too coincidental?"

"Not earlier, not later, but right after I obtained the Dao Seal [Nan Liujing] and healed the fifth master!"

He first reinforced the conflict between his own elder and the Moon Country elder.

Meanwhile, he turned his gaze towards Cheng Yuyan.

Jiang Zhi heard this and immediately looked at the scholar with a cold gaze.

"You were there that day, do you know anything?"

"Is that old dog really trying to stop my fifth senior brother from recovering, as Chu Huaixu said?"

His aura changed instantly.

A powerful pressure spread around, making even Chu Huaixu, who was in the Third Realm, struggle to breathe.

Jiang Zhi had previously told Chu Huaixu that Ming Xuanji was skilled in divination.

Moreover, this man was arrogant, always trying to "fulfill heavenly duties with a human body"!

If he thinks that Zhong Ming no longer being mad is a bad thing,

then he might really do something because of it!

What’s more ridiculous is that Jiang Zhi has a certain... empathy for Ming Xuanji’s actions against Chu Huaixu?

When he first returned to the Daoist Sect, he thought this boy was the greatest "Variable"!

He made a supposedly stable situation start to move towards an uncontrollable path.

But now he was "handled" by Chu Huaixu, no longer the "defiant" figure he once was.

The little old man’s Wisdom Pearl was shattered, not so stubborn anymore.

But in this aspect, Ming Xuanji was even worse than him.

"He is proficient in divination and must have long realized that Chu Huaixu is a ’Variable’."

"But if that’s the case, why didn’t he act early, or later?"

The more Jiang Zhi thought about it, the more something felt wrong.

This Sword Cultivator, who proves his Dao by killing, has always had a heavy killing intent.

For him, whoever dares to stop him from treating his fifth senior brother, he will kill!

Don’t say you’re just the old State Preceptor of Moon Country.

Even if it’s the old Emperor of Moon Country, if he dares to stop me, if I have the chance, I’ll kill him too!

Cheng Yuyan, listening to Jiang Zhi’s questioning, was truly stumped by the questions.

Because he was present at the time, he indeed heard Ming Xuanji’s words, he knew that Ming Xuanji doesn’t want Chu Huaixu to save Zhong Ming!

Jiang Zhi thought he had pressured Cheng Yuyan, but it was merely his ridiculous self-assumption.

Cheng the Scholar had always known that Chu Huaixu was the key to saving Zhong Ming.

Therefore, the one who truly cornered him was this young man in front of him.

"Hahaha!" Cheng Yuyan, after being cornered, suddenly burst into laughter.

"This is interesting, really interesting!"

"The greatest ’Variable’ under the heavens, truly interesting!"

He looked at everyone, gradually gathering his smile, and seriously said:

"Regarding this matter, I won’t lie. Since you asked, I will tell the Daoist Sect that Ming Xuanji acted for this reason."

"He didn’t hesitate to expend his lifespan to employ the ’Curse Killing Technique,’ genuinely intending to stop you, to stop you, Chu Huaixu!"

"In his words, he wants to rectify the chaos."

Jiang Zhi’s gaze towards Cheng Yuyan suddenly became extremely cold, like an abyss or a hell.

This prompted Cheng the Scholar to hurriedly speak up, asking Chu Huaixu:

"Since you know about this, what do you plan to do?"

This Zhong Ming, will you save him or not, are you afraid of saving him?

This old State Preceptor from Moon Country can make moves against you from miles away!

Chu Huaixu did not immediately respond but asked:

"Senior Cheng, I have a question."

"Ask away."

"As Senior just said, Ming Xuanji used the ’Curse Killing Technique’ on me, at the cost of his lifespan. But as the saying goes: Celestial Secrets cannot be leaked."

"Does he have to pay a price for using divination to spy on Celestial Secrets?"

Cheng Yuyan, without concealment, looked at Chu Huaixu with interest, finding this young man increasingly fascinating, replied:

"Of course, if you meet him, you wouldn’t believe it, the old State Preceptor is actually two years younger than your grandmaster."

Chu Huaixu, while playing ’Borrowed Sword,’ had seen Ming Xuanji’s picture on the forum, knowing this person looked like someone about to die, old and frail.

But he secretly grumbled to himself: "How can you compare this? Jiang Zhi the old man treats Appearance Stabilizing Pills and Beauty Pills as meals."

Yet he understood the implication.

This Ming the old dog frequently spies on Celestial Secrets, the price paid could be substantial, possibly more than just lifespan!

After all, this old State Preceptor is merely in the Eighth Realm, and can’t compare with Dao Ancestor.

Dao Ancestor left behind warnings, surely also having used divination for the future.

But what is Ming Xuanji, to be worthy of comparison with Dao Ancestor?

A smile suddenly appeared on Chu Huaixu’s face, as he said: "Since there’s a price to pay, that’s good."

Jiang Zhi watched the smile on his face, and for some reason, found it very familiar.

He suddenly recalled several instances of his own Wisdom Pearl falling to the ground...

And now he had full clarity about this grandson of his.

Sure enough, Chu Huaixu immediately continued:

"Since he thinks I’m a ’Variable,’ loves calculating me, let him keep calculating, slowly calculating."

Stopping here, he paused, then looked at Cheng Yuyan, eager for this amused person to stir up trouble even more, then convey his next words to Ming Xuanji the old man.

"Perhaps, one day, I might let him die halfway through calculating me."
