Chapter 149 - 149 144 Gua Zhengnies Cunning Plan
?Chapter 149: Chapter 144: Gua Zhengnie’s Cunning Plan Chapter 149: Chapter 144: Gua Zhengnie’s Cunning Plan Elder Xi Feng said, “But first, you have to find a way to keep Xiao Bai from acting and forcing Wei Sisan into action.”
“As long as we can control Xiao Bai, I believe Wei Sisan will certainly step in himself. Can Mo and his people just intended to join the New City Sect, and such a thing happened, they can’t justify not lending a hand, they will definitely step in, and step in big,” Gua Zhengnie said.
“The Earth King really wants to kill Wei Sisan.”
“He has been ruthless towards me, so don’t blame me for being unjust to him. He mocks us, this old thing, he should have met the King of Hell long ago, staying here will only suppress us.”
Gui Lang said, “I agree with the Earth King as well. They were so heartless towards us, why would we show loyalty to them? There’s no need for loyalty.”
Gua Zhengnie had already harbored a murderous intent, deciding to go all out. Now that he is the Alliance Leader of the Third Demon, if he really could kill Wei Sisan, then from then on, in the Wastelands his would be the only authority. This old immortal bugger would never have the chance to rise again.
“To kill Wei Sisan, you need to prepare thoroughly.” Elder Xi Feng said.
He had been preparing for many years, but unfortunately lacked the opportunity. He said, “Summon Jue Ming to me.”
These days, Xiao Bai’s spirits have not been great.
Gua Zhengnie spent a lot of silver, persuading Chen Jiu to persuade Xiao Bai, trying to keep Xiao Bai from acting.
Xiao Bai received a letter from Wei Sisan.
Knowing that Xiao Bai has been in a particularly bad mood recently, Chen Jiu said, “Senior brother, I’m saying, you shouldn’t go and save him this time, you should let Wei Sisan worry for once.”
“Trouble him for once.” Xiao Bai, infused with alcohol, was not in the mood.
“Yes, he gives orders, we go over. He will think we are not important. You are able to refuse once let him know your importance. If an issue arises and you run over first, it will let him think, this is just like an obligation. Instead, he does not value you. You need to let him worry. That’s when he will know our worth.”
Xiao Bai said, “If I don’t go, what should I say when he asks later?”
“That’s what you should say, say you’re not in Tianle City, say you’ve already gone to Dongle City. He wouldn’t dare to say anything. Even if he knew about it, what about it? Can Mo and his people should be able to handle it. Most of them will just send others to go, or directly find Jiang Zhuge and his people, they should let them go find Jiang Zhuge.”
Then Xiao Bai fell silent.
“If you don’t show it, he won’t know you’re upset. You should learn to refuse, let them go. Otherwise, he won’t know your worth.” Chen Jiu continued, “Anyhow, I feel there’s no need to run around so frequently, the more frequent you run, the more dispensable he thinks you are.”
Xiao Bai felt that made a lot of sense.
“Hey, it’s not that serious now, there are still so many people in Can Mo’s hands. If you don’t go, naturally there will be others who will go. It’s not that urgent, but they must know the New City Sect can’t do without you.”
In Xiao Bai’s heart, suddenly a switch flipped. So many things had happened these few days, making him feel that Wei Sisan was prejudiced. It was indeed necessary to show some attitude, he said, “Fine, ignore him. Just say I’m not here. Send him a reply letter, saying that I’ve already gone to Dongle City and can’t make it back.”
“Okay, rest assured, I’m going to reply to him.” Chen Jiu was delighted.
“Don’t rush it, reply to him tomorrow.”
Wei Sisan anxiously awaited news from Xiao Bai’s side. But after waiting overnight, no news came, which was a rare occurrence. Even Wei Sisan grew a little anxious, wondering if anything had happened in Tianle City, but he hadn’t heard of anything happening in Tianle City, had he?
If there were indeed something going on, someone should have been sent to report by now. It was only by noon the next day that he found out, Xiao Bai was not in Tianle City, he had run off to Dongle City.
Going to Dongle City to save Can Mo was still a bit far, even farther than from Wasteland City, and Can Mo’s side was getting anxious at this point.
Kong Sha said, “What’s with Xiao Bai, why did he run off to Dongle City? There’s nothing going on in Dongle City.”
Zheng Yibai said, “I heard that Xiao Bai hasn’t been in great spirits recently, probably due to the Vice Sect Leader’s affairs, he has been affected.” He glanced at Wei Sisan.
Kong Sha said, “Hey, what a drama queen he is, causing such a fuss now, doesn’t he know the situation is urgent!”
Zheng Yibai said, “It looks like it’s impossible for Xiao Bai to make it in time, he’s already delayed for over a day, we need to figure out a way to send someone over, or Can Mo might not be able to hold on.”
Upon hearing this, Kong Sha nodded his head, saying, “Yes, this matter can’t wait anymore, we need to hurry over.”
Zheng Yibai said, “If Xiao Bai doesn’t make it over, and Jiang Zhuge and his men can’t be called upon, the only ones left to call upon are me.”
Kong Sha said, “How about this, I’ll go.”
“No, I’ll go,” Wei Sisan continued, “You stay in Wasteland City. Wasteland City needs someone to hold down the fort.”
“Let me go, Sect Leader, you’re still…” Before Kong Sha could finish his sentence,
“No, you stay in the Wastelands, I’ll go.” He wasn’t confident in Kong Sha going, Kong Sha lacked experience, assuming he wouldn’t be able to hold down things on his own.
Zheng Yibai said, “I will accompany the Sect Leader.”
Wei Sisan said, “Keep a close watch on Wasteland City, don’t let anything happen to Wasteland City. I will resolve the situation over there and then come back.”
“But your illness.”
“My illness is much better, and I think that No. One Thieves can’t cause much trouble,” Wei Sisan felt that if he went there himself, he would definitely be able to suppress them.
They quickly discussed and made a decision.
Wei Sisan added, “If anything happens in Wasteland City, inform me in time.”
Kong Sha nodded and said, “Then Sect Leader, depart tomorrow morning.”
Wei Sisan nodded, unexpectedly, dusk had arrived, they had some preparation to do. Initially, they intended to let Xiao Bai’s people go for it, so no preparations were made.
Wei Sisan said, “Let’s set off earlier tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me,” Zheng Yibai followed them, he was quite assured.
Yiling knew that her father was leaving Wasteland City for the rescue of Can Mo in the early morning, so she came running before nightfall.
“Father, are you leaving Wasteland City tomorrow?” Wei Yiling asked.
“Hmm, tomorrow morning,” Wei Sisan replied.
“Are you going to rescue Can Mo and his group? Why not let uncle Xiao Bai go instead?”
“Your uncle Xiao Bai has some matters, so he can’t go,”
“I recently heard that uncle Xiao Bai is not happy, it seems to be about the Vice Sect Leader position.”
“When did my daughter start listening to other people’s gossip?”
Both were seated beneath a pear tree, Yiling peeled an orange on the stone bench, smiling faintly.
“Still searching for that young lad.”
“Hehe, I haven’t been searching.” Wei Yiling seemed a little different lately, suddenly she didn’t feel as much hatred, although that guy was quite unusual, often talking to himself, that was none of her business if he had such a hobby.
“It appears my daughter has been a lot less restless these days.”
“I’m usually not that restless.” Yiling continued, “Father, let me accompany you.”
“Accompany me? Better not, this is just a minor matter. After I’m there, the No. One Thieves will disperse, I will return swiftly,” Wei Sisan said.
“But you’re not well, I could accompany you and take care of you.”
“Is your father so delicate?”
“You’re not delicate, Father, you’re genuinely unwell!”
“Hehe, it’s fine, don’t worry. I can resolve the matter quickly and return. You just stay at Sky Lake Manor, a lot of things have happened recently, we don’t know what else may occur in the future.”
After hearing this, Wei Yiling said skeptically, “I suspect most of these incidents are the doings of Gua Zhengnie and Zun Yu, surely it’s them. They must be stirring trouble because they’re jealous of the New City Sect.”
“Jealous or not, that’s their problem, we can’t control. But if they have something to do with this, I won’t let them off easily.”
“Father is too kind, always indulging these two guys, that’s why they’re so bold now.”
“It’s not indulgence, some problems can’t be solely resolved by force.”
“On this matter, I have to disagree. When some matters require force, we need force. Your tolerance only empowers them to be bolder, ultimately they will dare to do anything.”
Wei Sisan asked, “Do you also think I’m indulging them too much?”
“Definitely, or else they wouldn’t dare to act so outrageous like they did today!”
Wei Sisan gave a faint smile, saying, “Don’t worry, they can’t cause much trouble. Whenever we reach a critical point, remaining calm is of utmost importance.”
“Anyway, be wary of Gua Zhengnie, there’s nothing he wouldn’t dare to do.”
“Hmm, rest assured, your father knows what to do.”
“Alright, if you say so father, I don’t have anything more to say.”
“Once things are settled, I’ll take you to the Central Plains someday.”
“Father, it’s not the first time you’re saying this, but it has never happened.” Yiling said.
“Right, I’ve indeed been too busy these past years.”
“Father, you’re always the busiest.”
“Ling’er, do you like Xiao Han?”
The sudden question took Yiling by surprise, she became a little shy and said, “What are you talking about, Father?”
“Ah, if you like him, admit it, and if you don’t, you don’t. Ling’er, you’re grown up now,” Wei Sisan said.
Yiling blurted out, “I don’t like him.”
“You’re fooling your father.”
“Hehe, do I have to say I like him for you to believe I’m not fooling around?”
“Of course not, but you’re grown up now, you’ll have to get married someday.”
