Chapter 293: Chapter 181: Killing the Damned Zong in a Second, Encountering Luo Shuying! (Extra Chapter for Votes~)
What answered Su Xing was a wave of silence.
However, Su Xing didn’t dare let his guard down because, according to his divine sense, ever since he killed that damned Zong, a certain aura had been tailing him.
The other party used some sort of method, leaving Su Xing unable to pinpoint that person’s exact location.
“Hehe, if you’re afraid to show yourself… then keep following me!”
“When we get to Kyoto, I wonder if you’ll still have the guts to follow me?”
Su Xing threatened loudly.
The air was thick with silence.
Before long, a figure stepped out from the shadows, eyes locked on Su Xing, and asked:
“Why did you ambush and kill Protector Zong?”
Su Xing secretly gathered Origin Force, ready to silence the person.
But when he saw who it was, Su Xing froze.
“Luo Shuying, is that you?”
Never in a thousand guesses would Su Xing have thought that the one to witness him kill that damned Zong would be Luo Shuying!
The person in black fell silent, not expecting Su Xing to recognize her.
One had to know that Luo Shuying was her real name, and in this world, no one should have known it.
So, Luo Shuying remained cautious, asking in confusion:
“How do you know my name?”
After hearing her, Su Xing suddenly said:
“Do you still remember the little girl who cried all night in the heavy rain? There’s no going back, Luo Shuying!”
This was a code phrase Su Xing had agreed upon with Luo Shuying before.
Sure enough, upon hearing this phrase, Luo Shuying’s body trembled with disbelief:
“Who exactly are you? How do you know this phrase?”
Su Xing then began to explain.
“Luo Shuying, across different timelines, we have already known each other for a long time… We have been comrades in battle for many years, and we can trust each other!”
“We have been fighting against the foreign race together to prevent them from invading our world…”
Su Xing recounted the countless times he had spoken these words in the simulator.
Luo Shuying’s expression changed from shock to eventual trust.
Su Xing took note of all this.
Finally, Luo Shuying said:
“Trusted comrades… So, what do you need me to do?”
Su Xing’s heart leaped with joy upon hearing these words.
He had initially been worried that after that damned Zong’s death, he would have no excuse to join the Descending Sect in the simulation later on.
But now, with Luo Shuying guiding him, wouldn’t it be the same?
So, Su Xing replied:
“One month from now, let’s meet again here. By that time, I want you to bring me into the Descending Sect… There is something I need from there!”
Luo Shuying obediently nodded and did not ask further questions.
The two didn’t exchange contact information but instead parted ways.
…
Soon, the immersive simulation time ended, and Su Xing returned to the real world.
In the real world, Su Xing exhaled deeply and muttered:
“By assessing this simulation, it’s entirely feasible to kill that damned Zong in reality a month from now!”
“By then, I’ll be able to truly claim that damned Zong’s legacy!”
“However… the only problem is that it might draw Luo Shuying’s attention…”
Su Xing slightly furrowed his brows.
Truth be told, Su Xing did not want to meet Luo Shuying in the real world just yet.
It wasn’t because he didn’t trust Luo Shuying, but the variables it might introduce were too numerous.
It could lead to an assassination or a series of troubles…
“However, if I want to kill that damned Zong, it’s unavoidable to confront Luo Shuying…”
“Besides, meeting Luo Shuying may not necessarily be a bad thing!”
Su Xing pondered deeply.
After killing that damned Zong in the real world, it would indeed become slightly more cumbersome for Su Xing to enter the Descending Sect in simulations.
But if Luo Shuying recommended him, it would achieve the same effect.
Moreover, as Su Xing’s strength increased, he gradually set his sights on the Descending Sect’s treasure vault.
If he wanted to loot the vault, he might need Luo Shuying’s inside assistance…
“Perhaps, after killing that damned Zong, it would indeed be a good opportunity to approach Luo Shuying, as she is indeed trustworthy…”
“However, I must no longer use the excuse of traversing timelines… since in reality, one only has one life…”
Su Xing closed his eyes in deep thought for a moment, then muttered:
“Perhaps I can meet Luo Shuying with a disguised identity… not because I don’t trust her, but to avoid unnecessary complications.”
“But if I don’t use that code phrase, how can I gain her trust?”
Suddenly, Su Xing had an idea and thought:
“That’s right! A master of success (deception) studies! With this talent, I should be able to gain Luo Shuying’s trust!”
Su Xing’s lips curved into a slight smile as he prepared to revisit this talent in future simulations and give it a try.
“But for this simulation, it’s time to accumulate resources… I need to prepare for the breakthrough to the Return to Void Realm!”
Su Xing muttered, his eyes fixed on the simulation panel.
[You returned to Kyoto City and, after one month, met Luo Shuying on time.]
[With Luo Shuying’s help, you successfully joined the Descending Sect.]
[Meanwhile, you discovered that the Descending Sect was investigating the cause of that damned Zong’s death, but because you acted covertly and concealed your heavenly secrets, the Descending Sect found no real culprit.]
[With Luo Shuying’s help, you acquired a large amount of medicinal herbs and collected many elixirs.]
[A few months later, unexpectedly, Dragon Protector left the Descending Sect’s Treasure Vault and came to the sect’s headquarters.]
[As you suspected, it was Dragon Protector who recommended that damned Zong join the Descending Sect.]
[Dragon Protector’s visit was to investigate the cause of that damned Zong’s death.]
[After a month of investigation, he found no problems and before leaving, he gave you a long, deep look.]
[You thought Dragon Protector had noticed something amiss, but he simply returned to the treasure vault with no further incidents.]
