72: Chapter 68 Purpose 72: Chapter 68 Purpose “……”
After blanking out for a moment, Xu Yuan suddenly felt some clarity.
With the world’s completion, the plot he knew from his past life had already become unreliable, but this did not affect the accuracy of certain pieces of information.
Many things from his memories were matching up at this moment.
For example, in the plot, his original self would have gone to Changhong Valley to stand guard, most likely because Qin Weijiu was behind it.
what was his purpose in doing so?
Su Jinxuan said that Qin Weijiu’s purpose in sending her here was to plant a spy in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and the identity of the Third Young Master, along with the character he had once displayed, ensured that whatever he did would not be suspected.
Now that “the deed was done,” Qin Weijiu’s first task was actually to have him kill that Qin Mo.
Xu Yuan’s narrow eyes slightly narrowed, the information from the plot serving as a reference flashing constantly in his mind, his expression gradually turning bizarre.
Qin Weijiu’s actions must not be because he wanted Qin Mo to die, but rather he wanted the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion to be counter-killed by Qin Mo.
Following the plot’s logic,
Qin Weijiu would contrive a way to stop the three Great Grandmasters by his side, thus creating an opportunity for Qin Mo to kill the Third Young Master.
Then the question arises,
what benefits could Qin Weijiu reap from having Qin Mo kill him?
As a spy, the Third Young Master’s identity was perfect, he was at the core of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and he could also serve as a stepping stone, continually bringing spies into the Prime Minister’s Mansion under the guise of recruiting Guest Elders.
And such a significant advantage was directly given up by Qin Weijiu, his intentions must be even greater.
Thoughts flickering, Xu Yuan kept reassembling and piecing together the various pieces of information in his mind, trying to analyze Qin Weijiu’s purpose, but in the end, he only came up with an unreliable answer.
If Qin Mo were to kill the Third Young Master, he would certainly become sworn enemies with the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Based on Qin Mo’s performance now, coming out of the burial village, he was a perfect genius; if raised properly, he would certainly become a monumental figure.
Being sworn enemies with the Prime Minister’s Mansion, he would undoubtedly be a significant aid to Qin Weijiu in dealing with the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Xu Yuan dismissed the idea outright.
Qin Weijiu was not like him; he didn’t know that Qin Mo was the world’s protagonist.
To sacrifice a spy already secured just for the uncertain future of Qin Mo?
Such an action was both foolish and preposterous.
Qin Mo already harbored a grudge for his village’s annihilation against his Prime Minister’s Mansion.
To do such a thing was utterly superfluous.
This thought flashed by, and Xu Yuan’s mind suddenly stalled.
After a few moments of silence, his heartbeat gradually quickening, Xu Yuan suddenly asked aloud,
“Su Jinxuan, when you were traveling with Qin Mo, did Qin Weijiu ever ask you to inquire about the information of Qin Mo’s village?”
Su Jinxuan’s beautiful eyes blinked in surprise at the leap in Xu Yuan’s words, but she still replied truthfully,
Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his speculation confirmed,
“What were the results of your inquiry?”
“Qin Mo said that the elders in those villages treated him as if he were their own.”
Did he mention anything else?”
Su Jinxuan’s eyes filled with confusion, “Anything else?”
Xu Yuan had an instinctive urge to directly ask, but instead, he rephrased,
“For example, when he talked about his elders, was there anything unnatural?”
Su Jinxuan’s confusion deepened, but she still dutifully didn’t ask further questions, and honestly replied,
“What?” Xu Yuan immediately asked.
“When he talked about these matters, his mood seemed not very high, even when mentioning happy moments, his mood would quickly drop again.”
“Is there nothing else besides this?”
“Did you report this to Qin Weijiu?”
“No, I only spoke of Qin Mo’s interpersonal relationships in the village,” Su Jinxuan answered.
On hearing this, Xu Yuan laughed, his mind suddenly enlightened.
Qin Weijiu knew about the village burial, and that Qin Mo came from there.
But what Qin Weijiu didn’t know was that those big demons and thieves in the village had already been slaughtered clean by his father.
All of his previous speculations assumed that Qin Weijiu knew about the destruction of the village burial.
The situation had now become clear.
Qin Weijiu wanted to set the village burial against the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
The people from the village burial were there for a place to retire in peace, but that didn’t mean all their personal ties were gone.
In Cang Yuan, the main character had encountered more than once the village elders’ confidantes or best friends helping him.
Adding to the experts from the village burial itself, it had already become an extremely formidable force, certainly surpassing the benefits brought by planting spies in the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Therefore, Qin Weijiu wanted to pull the village burial, which also lay hidden in the “shadows,” to stand on the same front as him.
With the information Qin Weijiu had, it was undoubtedly a masterstroke.
He didn’t even need to make a move himself.
Whether it was Xu Yuan killing Qin Mo, or Qin Mo killing Xu Yuan, the village burial and the Prime Minister’s Mansion would become sworn enemies.
But alas, the village burial was already destroyed.
There was a sense of irony.
Sometimes, imagining your enemies to be too strong is really just pitting your wits against the air.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and glanced sideways at Su Jinxuan, his hand producing a small book.
The precious secret technique personally relayed to him by Auntie Lou Ji from the Imperial Capital.
Su Jinxuan frowned slightly, not understanding the purpose of him suddenly taking out that little book:
Xu Yuan didn’t say a word, shook the small book in the air, and handed it over to her.
Su Jinxuan looked puzzled.
Xu Yuan said offhandedly:
“The cultivation secret technique for the Enchantress Divine Physique, take it.”
Su Jinxuan’s pupils shrank slightly.
Her hand paused in the air for a few moments, and seeing her not move, Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow:
“What, you don’t want it?”
Su Jinxuan was silent for two seconds, then bit her lip and said:
Xu Yuan replied nonchalantly:
Listening to his casual words, Su Jinxuan’s hand quietly clenched the hem of her gown, her voice soft:
by giving this to me, aren’t you afraid I’ll turn on you?”
Qin Weijiu was afraid of her turning on him and had deliberately erased the soul cultivation techniques from the secret method; and now…
Xu Changtian was actually willing to directly hand this secret technique to her?
Xu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
“You were almost drained dry by me these past few nights, by cultivating the technique of the Enchantress Divine Physique your recovery rate would also increase, which benefits my own cultivation as well, take it.”
Su Jinxuan was silent, her gaze complex, but she did not take it.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan sighed:
“Alright, to put it plainly, think of it as an investment in you.
“The world is going to be chaotic, I see potential in the strength of your Enchantress Divine Physique and I believe in your character, so I judge that investing in you will not put me at a loss.
even if it is a loss, at least I shouldn’t be raising an ingrate.”
Su Jinxuan was quiet for a long while, then gently took the little book, holding it tight.
She looked at Xu Yuan with a very serious tone:
“I will repay this favor.”
