To this day, if you look at it from God's perspective, Chu Xianping's choice couldn't be more obvious.
In this "card game" involving three people, he wanted to force an "alliance" with Zhuang Zhiming.
If it were Wei Changtian, it is unknown whether he would do this.
However, due to the relationship of "fellow countryman", even if the former is determined, there is a high probability that he will not be so direct.
But Chu Xianping didn't have any burden.
He just used the simplest and most flawless reason and directly reported Xu Suisui's name.
From now on, Zhuang Zhiming is actually on the opposite side of Xu Suisui.
Although it seems like he still has options.
But in fact, Chu Xianping had already "blocked" any other options for him.
...
The leaves are falling one after another, and the empty branches are blown by the wind.
From the time Zhuang Zhiming arrived at Wei's house, less than half an hour had passed.
For the former, this half hour can be described as "spectacular", and the development of the situation far exceeded any of his expectations from the beginning.
But for Chu Xianping, everything he did and even every word he said was actually under his control.
To put it more exaggeratedly.
Everything he said to Zhuang Zhiming was planned before Zhuang Zhiming came.
Including the series of questions and answers at the end.
It seemed that Zhuang Zhiming was asking and he was answering.
But this was actually Chu Xianping’s intention.
Of course, he could have told these answers in advance without waiting for Zhuang Zhiming to ask questions.
However, "active speaking" and "passive answering" can achieve completely different results.
People are always more inclined to believe in "answers verified by themselves" rather than "answers given by others".
That's why Chu Xianping was so ambiguous about Xu Suisui, just to wait for Zhuang Zhiming's question.
And when Zhuang Zhiming asked, "Does she want to control the Presbyterian Church?", Chu Xianping already knew...
Today's goal was achieved.
"Elder Zhuang, do you have anything else to ask?"
After shaking his sleeves, Chu Xianping slowly poured himself another cup of tea.
Zhuang Zhiming did not answer immediately, but slowly shook his head after being silent for a while.
"Elder Chu, why are you telling me this? What good will this do to you?"
"Because I want that woman to die."
Chu Xianping replied without hesitation: "But I need to borrow your power to find her."
"Other than that?"
Zhuang Zhiming's face was full of anger: "How do I know you are not driving a tiger to devour a wolf?"
"Haha, Elder Zhuang, don't be so confident."
Chu Xianping gently picked up the tea cup: "It's still unclear who is the tiger and the wolf between you and her."
"What's the meaning?"
Zhuang Zhiming narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is there something special about this Xu Suisui?"
"Of course there is."
Chu Xianping turned to look over and answered word by word:
"Elder Zhuang, aren't we currently investigating ways to break through the realm?"
"I can tell you clearly now that this matter has nothing to do with Wei Changtian. This method actually lies in the hands of Xu Suisui."
"What?!"
Zhuang Zhiming's expression changed in an instant, but before he could recover, Chu Xianping's extremely calm voice came to his ears again.
"Elder Zhuang, if we find Xu Suisui, we can get a way to break the situation."
"When the time comes, her life belongs to me, and Elder Qingtai's token belongs to you."
"You and I share the method of breaking through the realm, and no third person will know about it."
"I don't like my mother-in-law the most, so I will only ask you once."
"Do you want to do this deal?"
"..."
His pupils dilated slightly, Zhuang Zhiming took a deep look at Chu Xianping, then stood up and walked towards the door.
His current behavior seems to be about to leave directly.
But Chu Xianping didn't move at all, still sitting on the chair as steady as a rock, without even the slightest change in his expression.
Until Zhuang Zhiming suddenly shouted softly toward the outside of the house.
"Everyone go!"
"..."
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Invisible footsteps sounded from all directions and disappeared in an instant.
Zhuang Zhiming also turned around at this time and said word by word with a serious expression:
"Elder Chu, if you lie to me, then I will definitely make your life worse than death."
"Elder Zhuang, there is no point in saying this."
Shaking his head, Chu Xianping smiled and replied:
"Whether I lied to you or not, you will know tomorrow night."
"..."
...
...
An hour later.
When puffs of smoke filled the air above the kitchen, Zhuang Zhiming's carriage slowly left under the bright noon sun.
It's unclear what the two talked about during this hour, but it must have been related to Xu Suisui.
Forcing an alliance will lead to disaster.
What consequences Chu Xianping's choice will have, whether they are good or bad, is currently unpredictable.
But one thing is for sure.
That is, he has transferred all the risks from Kui Long to himself, and completely ignored Wei Changtian.
In other words, Chu Xianping was taking risks for Wei Changtian.
However, the latter is currently unaware of this.
After another stick of incense.
Wei Changtian, who had been hiding in the house all morning, finally appeared in front of Chu Xianping.
He didn't ask what just happened.
Although if he asked himself, Chu Xianping would definitely tell him.
But Wei Changtian was prepared to stick to the "Wallfacer Plan" to the end and would never interfere with Chu Xianping's decision unless necessary.
Therefore, after meeting Chu Xianping, he just asked.
"Brother Chu, what do I need to do next?"
"Sir, I need Kui Long's token in your hand and Kui Long's secret method of sending messages."
Chu Xianping said in a serious tone: "I will attend the Presbyterian meeting tomorrow night, and I will do the same in the future."
"..."
His expression inevitably stiffened. Wei Changtian didn't expect that Chu Xianping would make such a request.
This is no ordinary prop!
Although the intrigues of the Presbyterian Church were very troublesome, I didn't want to get involved too much.
But once the token is given to Chu Xianping, it means that the latter will completely "monopolize" the information about Kui Long.
In this case, if Chu Xianping wants to rebel...
Thinking of this, Wei Changtian hesitated instinctively.
But after a few breaths, he still took out the Kuilong Token he carried with him from his arms and handed it to Chu Xianping.
"Brother Chu, here is the token. I will teach you the secret method later."
"good."
Chu Xianping took the token and put it away, then suddenly raised his hand and swallowed the Puppet Pill that he had already held in his hand.
"Brother Chu! What are you doing!"
When Wei Changtian reacted, it was already too late. The mysterious aura had already appeared around Chu Xianping, and then slowly dissipated after a moment.
It is indeed a puppet pill.
Puppet Dan who establishes a connection with himself.
"This...Brother Chu, why are you doing this?"
Wei Changtian shook his head with a wry smile, and his tone was very helpless: "Don't use it when you doubt someone, don't doubt when you employ it. Since I am willing to give you the token, I naturally trust you."
"Sir, I know you believe in me, but I don't believe in myself."
Chu Xianping's expression was calm: "Especially after I become Elder Kuilong, I don't know if I can still resist the temptation."
"So it's better to be on the safe side."
"..."
I don't believe in myself.
Of course Wei Changtian knew that this was just Chu Xianping's rhetoric, and the latter's real purpose must be to reassure himself.
But now that things have happened, there is no point in discussing this anymore.
"Oh, okay."
Afraid of patting Chu Xianping on the shoulder, Wei Changtian asked again: "Is there anything else you need me to do?"
"There are no others for now."
Chu Xianping nodded: "Master, I will try my best to handle Kui Long's matter, but there is one thing I must understand your attitude about."
"What's up?"
"It's about Miss Xu..."
"Sir, if forced to do so, can this person be killed?"
"..."
"Can."
Wei Changtian's answer was obviously a bit slow, as if he was hesitant.
However, Chu Xianping just looked at him deeply and didn't ask any more questions.
"Yes, I understand."
"..."
Yellow leaves, cold wind, cooking smoke, the smell of rice...
Everything outside the window was calm as usual.
But the wheel of fate that was secretly connected to countless people suddenly rolled at this moment, completely deviating from its original direction.
