#511 - Big Shot

As dusk approached, Liang Qin and Xu Qingwan took a carriage and returned to Shuzhou City ahead of everyone else.

The former couldn't wait to go back and personally participate in the preparations for her wedding.

The latter was going back to handle the arrangements for the wedding.

Although Little Xu had originally planned to wait for Wei Changtian in Guanghan to return together, plans couldn't keep up with changes, and now that there were only eight days left until October 25th, she had no choice but to go back early.

After all, her husband-to-be was getting married, a major event that couldn't be delayed.

"Sister Xu, the fabric of your clothes is so smooth and soft."

"My dear sister likes it? Then when we get back, I'll have someone make you a few more."

"Mmm, mmm..."

"..."

Beside the carriage, the two women had already begun addressing each other as sisters, their affectionate tone leaving Wei Changtian dumbfounded.

Good heavens, they were already so intimate before even entering the door?

"Ahem, well..."

Clearing his throat to interrupt the two women's conversation, Wei Changtian urged, "It's getting late, if you have something to say, why don't you say it in the carriage?"

"Alright, I know."

Xu Qingwan smiled and then pulled Liang Qin into the carriage.

"Changtian, we're leaving!"

"Okay, go ahead."

"Brother Changtian! You, you try to come back as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I definitely will as soon as possible."

"..."

The setting sun stretched over the long river, filling the horizon with smoky hues.

After the carriage drove away for a while, the two reluctant faces finally retreated into the carriage.

Wei Changtian also withdrew his gaze, turned and leapt onto a large horse with four snow-white hooves.

"Brother Chu, when will the Kui Dragon Token be delivered?"

Turning his head to look at Chu Xianping, who had also mounted his horse beside him, the smile on Wei Changtian's face completely disappeared.

"Tomorrow at noon."

Chu Xianping immediately gave a definite answer, urging his horse to follow Wei Changtian towards the city gate.

"Young Master, if the Kui Dragon really wants to investigate the Piercing Moon Sword Technique in depth, then they will definitely find us."

"Since this Kui Dragon has gathered so many experts, then we..."

"..."

Speaking to this point, Chu Xianping paused, not continuing.

But Wei Changtian knew what the second half of the sentence was.

Yesterday, he had told Chu Xianping a part of the Kui Dragon's situation, and also revealed the secret that the Piercing Moon Sword could help people break through to First Rank.

Chu Xianping was of course very surprised after hearing this, but he quickly accepted this bombshell news and began to help Wei Changtian analyze how they should deal with it all.

Of course, since the "Elders Meeting" hasn't been held yet, it's not 100% certain that the Kui Dragon came for this matter.

But if it really is for the Piercing Moon Sword and Qin Zhengqiu...

"Brother Chu, what do you think?"

After thinking for a moment, Wei Changtian kicked the ball back.

Chu Xianping had actually been thinking about it all night, so he answered very decisively at the moment.

"Young Master, I don't think we should make any more strong enemies now."

"Especially a secret organization like Kui Dragon. If their strength is really as terrifying as you said, then the gap between us cannot be bridged by schemes."

"Since they only want the secret about First Rank, then we..."

Just give it to them.

Without a doubt, from Chu Xianping's perspective, he felt that rather than fighting to the death with a behemoth like Kui Dragon, it would be better to simply give way.

Maybe they could even take the opportunity to negotiate terms with the former, and perhaps even use the Kui Dragon's hand to quickly overthrow Ning Yongnian.

As for the iron rule of "no participation in worldly power struggles"...

This iron rule was originally set to prevent the people of Kui Dragon from being addicted to worldly power and forgetting the original intention of "pursuing progress."

Therefore, in order to obtain the secret of breaking through to First Rank, it is not impossible to occasionally break the rules.

The setting sun's glow was lazy, and the two steeds were walking very slowly.

After listening to Chu Xianping's thoughts, Wei Changtian didn't speak immediately, but instead looked up at the crowd waiting to enter the city at the city gate ahead.

This idea was actually very rational, and it did seem to be their best choice at the moment.

After all, everyone understands the principle of being guilty of possessing treasure.

It's just...

"Brother Chu, you also know the drawbacks of the Piercing Moon Sword. If we hand over the sword technique to Kui Dragon, then they will naturally be able to detect this."

"Do you think they will still practice it after learning about the harm of the Piercing Moon Sword?"

"This..."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Xianping silently nodded: "The temptation to break through the First Rank bottleneck is too great. They should be like Sect Leader Qin, regardless of the consequences."

"Alas, I thought so too."

Sighing, Wei Changtian asked again: "Then what do you think this world would become if one day a group of irrational First Rank experts suddenly appeared?"

"..."

Seeming to understand Wei Changtian's meaning, Chu Xianping also subconsciously looked at the crowd in front of him.

But soon he shook his head again.

"Young Master, you are thinking too far ahead."

"Although a man who has no distant worries must have near troubles, but since we can't even deal with the near troubles now, how can we talk about distant worries?"

"Moreover, these distant worries... actually have little to do with us."

"..."

When the sky falls, who will hold it up?

The answer to this question may be blurted out by everyone.

But the actual situation is often the opposite.

Whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Countless history has proven that when human groups encounter major changes and disasters, the people who bear the most harm are actually the largest and weakest group in the group.

Obviously, Wei Changtian and Chu Xianping do not belong to this group of people now.

So even if Kui Dragon uses the Piercing Moon Sword to create a large number of insane First Rank experts, causing the world to fall into catastrophe, they will definitely not be the first to suffer.

To put it more bluntly.

That is, even if they die, they will die after these common people...

"Brother Chu, I understand what you mean."

Nodding lightly, Wei Changtian's eyes were calm: "If one day we really have no choice, I will do this."

"Yes, it's good that Young Master has decided."

Chu Xianping also nodded: "I just said what I thought."

"If Young Master has other plans, I will also do my best to help Young Master succeed."

"Okay."

"..."

As the last "Okay" fell, the two stopped talking.

The discussion on how to deal with Kui Dragon's "general policy" came to an end. The result is simply summarized as—

First try to struggle a bit, and if it doesn't work, give up.

This decision sounds like it has no "sense of responsibility", at least if it were Xiao Feng, he would rather die than hand over such an infinitely harmful sword technique.

But for Wei Changtian, "trying to struggle first" is all he can do.

And to be honest, most of the "big shots" in this world can't even do this.

"..."

"Mom, why don't those two big brothers on horseback have to queue up and can go straight into the city?"

"Because they are more noble than us."

"Oh, I know! They are like the master of the family! They can eat and drink well every day without working!"

"That's about right."

"No, Mom! They are different from the master of the family!"

"How are they different?"

"The master of the family has never looked at me properly, but the big brother on horseback just now not only looked at me, but also smiled at me!"

"..."
