Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness

1460  Why Did You Agree? His Sincerity Moved Me (1)

In the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao stood in front of You Tian and waited for his reaction.

The only thing valuable about this person was his possible knowledge of the Human Emperor's tomb location.

He had already murmured the location of that place to him.

Without this, You Tian would have no value.

At this moment, The tension in You Tian's face slowly melted away.

He neither yelled nor showed any emotion.

He simply looked at Jiang Hao and said, "Honestly, you're the weakest interrogator I've ever met… You're also the one I admire the most. I just have one question."

"Please ask, Senior," Jiang Hao said and bowed respectfully.

Since You Tian was speaking this way, it seemed he was willing to cooperate.

"Can I set some conditions?" You Tian asked.

"I usually just help with persuading the people here to cooperate, so I'm not directly involved," Jiang Hao said.

In other words, nothing had really changed from before.

As long as You Tian cooperated, any conditions could be discussed.

"Your sincerity has moved me," You Tian said, clearly convinced.

"Thank you, Senior." Jiang Hao bowed.

"Thank you for your sincerity," said You Tian, though his heart was not in it.

He had no choice whatsoever.

His deepest secret had been exposed.

Although he didn't understand why this person still gave him a chance, he knew that if he did not seize it, he would have no value left.

Moreover, he noticed that his shameful cooperation did not surprise the others. They even seemed to have expected it.

Therefore, this person was sent here because he was someone special.

There was no doubt that this person was the Primordial Spirit Realm.

How exactly did he do it?

But regardless, he had fallen.

There was no doubt about it.

He had considered the possibility that the other party was just bluffing about the location.

But it was too much of a coincidence.

He got it right on the first try.

He could not afford to gamble on this.

Losing would mean death.

It was not worth it.

At that moment, the old man and the young woman seemed surprised.

How could someone as strong-willed as them suddenly give in?

Moreover, they knew that You Tian had a special power protecting him.

As long as he did not want to speak, nothing could make him submit.

"I won't disturb you any further, Senior," Jiang Hao said. He bowed and left.

"Are you really going to cooperate with the Heavenly Note Sect?" Jiang Xue asked after Jiang Hao left.

"What other option is there?" You Tian asked.

"Why?" asked the old man,

"Because his sincerity moved me," You Tian said.

Although he felt bitter, he did not want to appear pathetic.

"Sincerity?" Jiang Xue thought he was joking.

At that moment, Mi Lingyue said, "A wise man knows when to submit. It's better to bow now than later. In the presence of King Hai Luo's master, the longer you hold out, the worse it gets. No one knows what he'll do next."

"You can never predict when he'll come again. Even if you have endless questions in your heart, he won't come until he decides to," Zhuang Yuzhen added.

"That person is our junior," said the lantern bearer.

Old Man Corpse Sea did not say anything. With the arrival of the Great Era, something was bound to happen where his true body was.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could leave this place.

He needed to do something.

Perhaps Jiang Hao was the key.

Even though he was just a Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator, his background was not simple.

Old Man Corpse Sea lowered his head in deep thought.

The waters of the Heavenly Note Sect ran too deep. He did not want to get involved, but the Corpse Sea was his domain. He could not afford to let anything go wrong there.

On the first floor of the Lawless Tower, Jiang Hao saw Senior Sister Yinsha again.

"Senior Sister…" Jiang Hao bowed.

"Junior Brother, you're back so soon? Is there something you need to do?" Yinsha asked with a smile. She was not in a hurry.

She did not want to rush him, either. If he was here, there must be something important for him to do. There was still plenty of time.

"No." Jiang Hao shook his head and said truthfully, "I just had a talk with Senior You Tian."

Yinsha became attentive.

She wondered if the conversation had been too difficult for him and if he wanted to give up.

She did not say anything and just listened quietly.

"Senior You Tian is a good person," Jiang Hao said calmly. "He said that he's willing to cooperate with you."

"It's still early, and a failure… Wait, what?!" Yinsha was stunned. "He agreed to cooperate?"

"Yes." Jiang Hao nodded. "You can go up and ask him, see what he needs."

Yinsha found it hard to believe, but she excused herself and went upstairs.

Jiang Hao just hoped that You Tian would survive.

After all, he needed to inform Gui about his appearance here.

He then began to walk back.

That evening, atop a mountain peak, Si Cheng read poetry and drank his wine.

He sighed. "What's all this? Look, Xu, look at this! What's this?

"One or two silver to rinse your mouth,

"Three or four silvers isn't even considered wine,

"Five or six silvers, and you're clinging to the wall, @@novelbin@@

"Seven or eight silvers, and you're still standing tall," Si Cheng read aloud.

"Well, it's not bad. It rhymes quite well," Xu Bai beside him said with a smile.

"Not bad? Then, look at this one." Si Cheng flipped another page and read, "One cup, two cups, three or four,

"Five cups, six cups, seven or eight more,

"Nine cups, ten cups, hundreds or thousands to pour,

"Only Xiao Cui remains in my heart's core."

"What are these?" Si Cheng asked helplessly. "I wanted them to write poems! Something along the lines of, 'Seize the day, drink and be merry, never leave a golden cup empty against the moon.' Or maybe, 'Throughout history, saints and sages have been lonely, only drinkers leave their names behind.' Something like that is what I wanted. What are they doing?"

Xu Bai looked up at the sky and said softly, "They must be struggling because of your request, Master."
