No way, since people regard it as the crowning glory of the trade, every generation of Dragon King from the Yu Family is accompanied by a demon as an attendant during their river crossing.
Zhao Yi: "In Lijiang, we had contact with Yu Family's River Crossing mber Yu Miaomiao, and through her learned about the current situation of the Yu Family.
If this wave is also related to the Yu Family, then it makes sense that the Heavenly Dao has arranged for both sides to et again.
I suspect that the deepest part of this wave, the one we must ultimately face, might have the surna Yu."
Li Zhiyuan: "You can think a bit farther, be bolder."
Zhao Yi pushed his mixed noodles in front of Li Zhiyuan, pulling the unmixed noodles to his own side and continued mixing.
"You speak, I'll listen."
Previously in Lijiang, the two spent a long period recovering, Zhao Yi frequently chatted with the youth, knowing well the youth deliberately withheld information, yet even the surface theories and insights he shared gave Zhao Yi a deeper understanding of the Jiang Shui and Heavenly Dao.
He's naturally smart, a small hint is enough, given direction, he can ponder himself.
Li Zhiyuan: "During that Guizhou event, you can say it's due to your ancestor's reason, we'll set that aside for now. But that Lijiang occurrence—before the fight over the three broken jade pieces started, both Yu Miaomiao and I already had a piece in hand.
Can this be understood as the Heavenly Dao's arrangent already starting at that ti?"
Zhao Yi licked his lips.
Li Zhiyuan continued: "It's confird that the Yu Family is experiencing change. The Heavenly Dao, would it allow a Dragon King family that's altered in nature to persist?"
Zhao Yi: "So the Heavenly Dao has already planned actions against the Yu Family?"
Li Zhiyuan: "The existence of demon spirits is originally repelled by the Heavenly Dao, anyone from Xuann who acts against demons doesn't need an excuse, they automatically hold natural justice. The Heavenly Dao arranging such is normal, doing nothing would be strange."
Zhao Yi: "Is the Yu Family about to be wiped out?"
Li Zhiyuan: "If they manage to withstand, they can continue existing, if not, they vanish. In other words, this is destiny, it's also the realistic side of the Heavenly Dao."
If the Heavenly Dao were truly omnipotent, Emperor Fengdu and the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva wouldn't still exist, but the truth is, all the Heavenly Dao can do is suppress them.
The Yu Family is likely facing this sa situation.
Zhao Yi: "So, this isn't the end, just a transit point. If we safely pass this wave, then next, we'll probably be pushed by Jiang Shui towards the Yu Family?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Mm."
Zhao Yi: "Crazy!"
The Qin and Liu Families fell into this situation, where even Jiujiang Zhao dares not provoke, only to be told that in the future we'd face Dragon King Yu?
Zhao Yi: "It's still a Dragon King family, no matter what problems it has, it's still a Dragon King family. I an, how can you be so calm, you ought to know better than the terrifying depth of the Dragon King family's foundation."
Li Zhiyuan: "I'm used to it."
Zhao Yi widened his eyes: "Used to it?"
In the previous wave, Li Zhiyuan knew True Monarch Pu Du was the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's avatar and still slapped up.
Now, it's just knowing ahead that I might slap Dragon King Yu in the future.
Li Zhiyuan: "Do you have any choice, or are you looking to bargain?"
Zhao Yi: "I..."
Li Zhiyuan: "The sooner you accept openly, the more benefits you get from the Heavenly Dao."
Zhao Yi suddenly realized: "You're tricking ! These things you've been hiding before, saying so much today is to intentionally bind to you!"
Li Zhiyuan grabbed garlic from the table, asking, "Do you eat garlic?"
Zhao Yi lowered his head, pleading: "Can we call it off?"
Li Zhiyuan: "You were listening intently just now, advocating to identify the key issue and speed up Jiang Shui heavily."
Zhao Yi: "I didn't expect this kind of speeding up."
Li Zhiyuan: "Beforehand, I predicted the difficulty of this wave would reduce, now if we treat this wave as a rehearsal, the difficulty indeed drops."
Zhao Yi: "If I separate from you now, do my own thing or even obstruct you, fight against you, then wouldn't I escape?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Mm, yes."
Zhao Yi: "Hahaha!"
Li Zhiyuan bowed his head to eat noodles.
Zhao Yi took unpeeled garlic, biting directly into it.
Once both finished their noodles, Li Zhiyuan shouted to the shopkeeper: "Boss, bill please."
The shopkeeper ca over, asking: "Together?"
Zhao Yi: "Together."
Then he pointed at the youth, got up first, leaving his seat and moving out of the noodle shop.
Li Zhiyuan took out money from his pocket, settled the bill, and upon walking out, saw Zhao Yi squatting by the roadside, smoking.
"Your eyes are red."
"Just scratched so eye crust accidentally, the garlic stung."
"No need to be so tense, at most we're rely tiny streams in the turbulent waves of Heavenly Dao aid at the Yu Family."
"The big waves may recede, but tributaries dry up easily." Zhao Yi stood up, "But who cares, add difficulty then, with you ahead, I'll bolt the mont you die."
"Mm."
Zhao Yi: "Was Xu Ming injured by the new underling you recruited?"
Li Zhiyuan: "It's Ah You."
Zhao Yi: "Damn, this guy's doing it for personal revenge!"
Then, Zhao Yi added: "He won't be cost-free, right?"
"He needs two days to recover."
"Xu Ming needs three days. So let's revise our plan, find a way to stall that Taoist for three days, then after both sides have full personnel, we'll act together.
If we're treating this wave as a rehearsal for the future, let's conduct this exercise perfectly, with the boldest move, crush through the wave directly!
Surely there's another team in this wave, it'd be perfect to show them what real River Crossing is!"
"Okay, I'll follow your lead."
