Xie Xuzhi slightly furrowed his brow: "Are you trying to say that I might have been considered so sort of sacrifice?"
He couldn’t accept this possibility at all. He was a mber of the Xie Family, the eldest grandson of the direct lineage.
If this were ancient tis, his life and death could shake half the kingdom.
He imdiately began to refute subconsciously: "Impossible!"
Finally seeing soone like Xie Xuzhi get flustered, it’s really not easy.
Yun Ran tilted her head slightly, her tone relaxed yet affirmative: "Why is it impossible? Being a sacrifice has nothing to do with status.
Oh, right, at specific tis, the higher the status and the better the life chart of the sacrifice, the better the effect.
I was once chosen as a candidate for sacrifice too, wasn’t that because of my high talent and first-rate skills."
Saying this, Yun Ran raised an eyebrow, pointing her thumb at herself with a very proud expression on her face.
Xie Xuzhi: ...
So, being chosen as a sacrifice is sothing very comndable?
"You haven’t told how you want to cooperate with you!"
Xie Xuzhi felt that if he didn’t change the topic, Yun Ran would spend a few minutes praising herself.
Yun Ran snapped back to the topic at hand with a couple of ’ohs’ and began to get back on track.
"Well, I thought, if our guess is correct, then a high-profile sacrifice like you would definitely be very useful.
The person who sched against you before would be reluctant to let you go. Maybe they’re watching you in the shadows right now.
You know bait, right? How about you disperse those around you, then swagger around openly for a bit. Maybe they’ll take the bait."
Xie Xuzhi was listening seriously to Yun Ran’s plan, but it turned out to be such a lousy idea!
He sized up Yun Ran: "Your words make you sound exactly like a traitor!"
Persuading him to isolate himself on purpose, then waiting to sell him for a good price!
Yun Ran: ...
She is upright and filled with righteousness and justice, how can it be related to being a traitor!
"Why so much nonsense, just say whether you’re willing or not!"
Xie Xuzhi thought about it, at the mont there were no better options.
Moreover, he and Yun Ran were sowhat in sync. They both used the strategy of alerting the enemy. By now, the relevant personnel should have been alerted.
Yun Ran’s idea, although a bit off, is actually quite effective.
Of course, the premise is that he can survive well, and won’t actually be taken as so sort of sacrifice.
"No problem!"
Sitting in his current position, soone like Xie Xuzhi, his actions can affect the entire situation, only Yun Ran would dare to let him take risks.
In fact, Yun Ran’s reaction was really quite calm, as if she didn’t find her suggestion difficult at all.
Thinking back to when the two first t, Yun Ran saw an opportunity she needed in Xie Xuzhi, which is why she helped him.
Xie Xuzhi survived because of her intervention.
And the last ti, Xie Xuzhi was captured, triggering the blood curse on him.
If it weren’t for seeing the curse shackles on him and coincidentally encountering Rong Gu’s Azure Dragon seeking death, well, the timing, location, and people were all in place.
Yun Ran had no choice but to forcibly untie Xie Xuzhi’s death knot, at the cost of her Lifebound Magical Artifact being shared...
In short, although she gained a lot of benefits from Xie Xuzhi, he owed her quite a bit too.
So, what’s wrong with letting Xie Xuzhi take a bit of risk? It’s not like she’s asking him to die!
Fortunately, Xie Xuzhi was smart and agreed, otherwise she would have had to bother to take action herself and tie Xie Xuzhi up as bait.
Xie Xuzhi completely knew what Yun Ran was thinking, if he knew, he’d probably be dripping with cold sweat.
"What should I do?"
"Wait, I will create so fake phenona on your body to make it obvious that your previous crisis has not been completely resolved.
And I, due to the explosion of your crisis, got backlashed. You worried about danger, so you dispatched everyone around you..."
Yun Ran was fully imrsed in the script she planned.
She watched as Xie Xuzhi reached out to interrupt Yun Ran: "Do you think soone who can hide their identity well would believe that I’d easily send away my ’Eight Bodyguards’?"
Those are his elites, especially soone as shrewd as him, isn’t stupid enough to send all his people away? It’s not child’s play.
Yun Ran: ...
"Then what do you say we do, anyway, the point is to make those watching us in the dark believe it."
Xie Xuzhi thought for a bit and quickly ca up with a more complete idea.
While others need three ordinary people to make up a Zhuge Liang, with him and Yun Ran, a single glance exchanged is enough to co up with a plan.
Briefly explaining his idea, Yun Ran never expected, in Xie Xuzhi’s plan, she was involved.
"Even if you need others to see that I got severely injured by your crisis backlash, but, a starved cal is still bigger than a horse.
Under normal circumstances, even if you’re seriously injured, without other bodyguards, I can still be safe, otherwise, there’s no reason to send the Eight Bodyguards away."
Yun Ran was speechless again, she had to admit, compared to these professionals who play with intrigue and power, she was indeed lacking a bit of practice.
This scheming is simply perfect.
By then, it would be his crisis, her severe injury, and them eager to capture, a perfect closed loop!
"Alright, we’ll do as you say, I’ll go back and prepare first!"
Saying so, Yun Ran turned and left. She only needed to provide the technique, the rest, let Xie Xuzhi handle it.
Can’t have her go through every step, she’d be exhausted.
When Yun Ran returned to her hotel room, Ginsengfruit had already packed their luggage.
"Host, when are we leaving."
Not continuing to stay here is not because the room is too expensive.
It’s mainly because they don’t know where they’ll be stopping at night.
By then, naturally, they’ll book a room wherever they end up.
Along the way to Five Emperors Mountain, there are plenty of hotels and lodgings, no need to worry about having no place to stay.
"Where’s Xuan Chu?"
Didn’t see him when they went out, now back, still no sign of him.
Ginsengfruit quickly replied: "Xuan Kong ca, he went to et up, and when he left, he told to pass on the ssage to et again later."
Yun Ran imdiately understood, although Xuan Chu intends to help her.
But as a person of Heavenly Dao Village, the primary task for them master and disciple is certainly to find the person who can counter the Secret Technique of Heavenly Dao Village.
