The Blood God Cult might not be trustworthy, but Tang Li Xue found that she could actually trust them more than anyone else in this Azure Mist Continent. freёweɓnovel.com
The main reason for that was because the Blood God Cult was currently in a very difficult situation, and they definitely needed help very much.
Tang Li Xue’s situation was not that much different from theirs. Even though their situation was quite different, but Tang Li Xue also needed help very much right now.
Since both of them needed each other’s help very much, it meant they would want to exploit each other in order for them to solve their own problem.
In a situation where they could not trust anyone, there was nothing more trustworthy than the benefit that could be given to each other.
In short, Tang Li Xue never expected the Blood God Cult to repay the favor for free.
What Tang Li Xue wanted was a ’fair trade’ with the Blood God Cult.
In simpler terms, it should be something like ’I will help you, but you have to help me too’.
"All right, children~! It is time for you all to take a nap! There might be some guests coming soon, and I do not want them to see you all." Tang Li Xue explained to Little Loki, Yaya, and Lucia.
Tang Li Xue ignored Little Loki and Yaya’s unhappy complaint, then stored the three of them into her System’s pet space with one wave of her hand.
But Tang Li Xue did not plan to hide Xi’er in the [Sword of Disaster], and let Xi’er stay close by her side to guard her.
They still did not know the Blood God Cult’s real intention for contacting them after all, so they clearly could not let their guard down in front of them later.
Knock, knock, knock, knock...
After waiting for ten minutes or so, there was actually a person who knocked on the door of their room several times.
Tang Li Xue stood up from her seat and wanted to open the door, but Xi’er hastily stopped her and said: "Let me open the door."
Tang Li Xue did not bother to argue with Xi’er and nodded at her in agreement.
No one could tell what was in the minds of those madmen from the Blood God Cult. What if they planned to do something rash to silence her instead?
When Xi’er opened the room’s door, she found out that the people in front of the door were not exactly what she had expected.
There were two people in front of their door: an old grandpa and his 10-year-old grandchild.
Tang Li Xue and Xi’er did not sense any cultivation from them, so they should be ordinary people.
Both Tang Li Xue and Xi’er sighed in relief as their tense nerves relaxed.
"What is wrong, Grandpa? Are you lost?" Xi’er asked politely with a kind smile on her pale yet beautiful face.
The grandpa smiled back at Xi’er and replied: "Strange, I should not have gotten lost. Wasn’t it you who called me here, young ladies?"
Tang Li Xue: "?!"
Xi’er: "?!"
Both Tang Li Xue and Xi’er instantly became tense and wary of the old grandpa and his 10-year-old grandchild.
"Are you..." Xi’er tried to ask the grandpa in a solemn tone, but the grandpa immediately interrupted her halfway.
"Can you let us in first? This is not the right place for us to talk, right?" The grandpa said to Xi’er in a relaxed manner.
Xi’er glanced at Tang Li Xue for a moment first.
After Tang Li Xue nodded her head to give her permission, Xi’er finally let the old grandpa and his 10-year-old grandchild enter the room.
Before Tang Li Xue could open her mouth to greet them, the old grandpa had already taken a talisman out of his sleeve.
His action instantly alerted both Xi’er and Tang Li Xue!
Xi’er swiftly moved away from the door and stood right in front of Tang Li Xue, then Xi’er unleashed the black energy shield in order to protect herself and Tang Li Xue from the old grandpa’s sudden attack!
The old grandpa threw the talisman in his grasp, but his target was actually neither Tang Li Xue nor Xi’er.
Unfortunately, she had no better choice currently, so she could only try to negotiate with the Blood God Cult and try to get some benefits from them.
Even if their negotiation ended up failing in the end, Tang Li Xue was sure that she could at least get some useful information from them.
Anyway, she would not make any loss. That was the reason why she decided to immediately contact the Blood God Cult without any hesitation.
Mo Rui kept staring at Tang Li Xue for a few moments before he commented with a persistent smile on his childish face: "Your disguise is also not bad. We cannot see through it at all. But why did you not let your protector disguise herself too? If you two disguise yourselves perfectly, even our Blood God Sect might not be able to find and contact you. "
Tang Li Xue was really thankful that Mo Rui’s current disguise was a cute 10-year-old child.
If Mo Rui was in his true appearance with the persistent evil sneer on his face, Tang Li Xue might not be able to resist the urge to punch his annoying face right now.
Tang Li Xue shook her head and replied indifferently: "She did not like to disguise herself. Okay, let’s stop discussing meaningless things. You did not come here just to have a casual chat with me, right?"
Well, it was impossible for Tang Li Xue to tell Mo Rui that she only had one [Myriad Manifestation Fox Mask], so she decided to shift the topic straight to the point.
Mo Rui chuckled while shrugging his shoulders and saying: "Okay, fine. You should have already known that the Great Wei Dynasty’s government hunted so many of our people outside, right? So, we want to do something to get it back at them."
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply after she heard Mo Rui’s words and asked: "So, you want us to help you retaliate against the Great Wei Dynasty? Are you insane or something?"
At first, she thought Mo Rui’s request would be something like helping him to save the Blood God Cult’s people and evacuate them to a safe place.
She really never thought that the Blood God Cult actually wanted to take revenge at the Great Wei Dynasty at this timing!
Normal people should think about how they can save as many of their people as they can first before they think about retaliating, right?
Tang Li Xue quickly understood why all people said that the Blood God Cult’s people were lunatics.
Tang Li Xue shook her head again and hastily rejected Mo Rui’s invitation: "I am sorry, but I just want to get out safely from this Imperial City. I do not want to be involved in the struggle between your Blood God Cult and the Great Wei Dynasty."
Mo Rui still tried to persuade Tang Li Xue by saying: "You do not need to refuse so quickly. Let me finish my words first."
