Chapter 96 Xue Bing's Dark Fairy Tale
Chapter 96 Xue Bing's Dark Fairy Tale
The square tunnel led downwards, its steps smooth and damp, the lights dim, and the faint glow of fire seeming to melt away.
Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very satisfied with the young man from his own Haotian Sect who had saved him in his time of crisis! He thought the young man was resourceful; seeing his young sect leader in danger, he had acted quickly and found a way to survive. He was delighted and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Seeing Wang Dong's action, Xue Bing felt a chill and thought to himself, "Sure enough, I guessed right. His Highness the Holy Son had already planned everything. I can't make any big moves now. I need to find a way to shift the blame to those two elders and let them fight it out. I won't get involved. Come to think of it, I'm not really the main culprit. Perhaps I can still weather this crisis smoothly."
But while Xue Bing was comforting himself, Xiao Xiao curiously looked around and said:
"Huh? Where am I? I didn't even notice there was a secret passage here when I came here!"
Wang Dong asked in confusion, "You've been here before?" Xiao Xiao blushed instantly, lowered her head, and dared not answer.
Meanwhile, Xue Bing listened with a chill running down his spine, thinking to himself, "This Holy Son's wife is no simple character. Even His Highness the Holy Son decided not to pursue the matter, giving me a thumbs up. Yet this woman is still so mean-spirited. Even after clearly stating that she had been here, she spoke to me sarcastically. Now that she knows my scheme, we can no longer be friends. I must be constantly wary of her from now on, lest she suddenly turn on me one day!"
At this moment, Xiaoxiao said, "I didn't expect that boss to be reading that book. That uncle was always very serious before, and I thought he wouldn't read it."
Xue Bing's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "So they're about to start counting the traitors?"
Xue Bing had a complete plan in mind. The four books, titled Douluo Continent, Peerless Tang Sect, Legend of the Dragon King, and Ultimate Douluo, were normal best-selling books on the market. However, within the Holy Spirit Cult, these names were used to represent four major plans within the cult. These four books became the secret codes used by the cult members who carried out these four tasks on the streets.
As for that "Peerless Tang Sect," it's a counterfeit of the real "Peerless Tang Sect," used by that small group to cover their tracks. Xiao Xiao's words clearly imply that the shopkeeper has been bribed.
Xue Bing felt extremely nervous, but dared not say anything and could only silently endure it.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong, with a question mark above his head, said:
"You mean that book? I've heard of it. I heard the ending is super scary! The female protagonist has a split personality, and her two souls are stitched together. She doesn't know who she is at all, and can only live in a daze, forcing a smile!"
The male lead clearly knows that the female lead is not the same person as before, but he pretends that nothing has happened!
In the end, everyone had a happy and fulfilling ending! It was like a dark fairy tale!
I don't understand what the author of this book was trying to achieve!
Xue Bing still interpreted these two sentences as a yin-yang interpretation of himself, but in the end, the Holy Son said that he would pretend nothing had happened and end things perfectly. Could this be an implication that he could escape a calamity?
Thinking of this, Xue Bing became more aware of his own situation, and his previously tense killing intent lessened somewhat. He decided that he could betray His Highness the Holy Son depending on the circumstances.
The three walked briskly, their shoes making a long, drawn-out clattering sound, until they disappeared around the corner.
