Chapter 1514 - Playing
If it had been other people who had said it, it would have been fine. But the issue was that such words had come from a core disciple of the Demon Slayer Palace, and this was why one needed to take them seriously.
However, Jiang Chen quickly shook his head because he recalled his trip’s objective. He didn’t want to waste his energy.
“You won’t end up wasting time, and if you cooperate with us, you will manage to complete your mission quicker, won’t you?” Murong Yanran had sharp senses and was able to discern what one was thinking through observing body language.
“Us?” Jiang Chen noticed a faint detail among her words. At first, he assumed that she was referring to herself and Xuan Qing. But when he looked at Xuan Qing’s expression, he realized that it wasn’t the case.
“That is right, it’s me and other people. However, there wasn’t any need to mention them before getting your agreement.”
“You are worried that you will run into an issue you can’t solve by yourselves, and this is why you hope that a Buddhist School disciple like me can help you with the Buddhist Light’s illumination?” Jiang Chen asked bluntly and mentioned the main point.
Murong Yanran said, “We will leave all demons we meet on the way for you and let you kill them. You will probably find it’s like cheating. But you don’t care about this because want to rescue someone, don’t you?”
“Are you suspecting even women?” Jiang Chen didn’t know what he should say, but he continued, “According to your experience in the Demon Slayer Palace for the past few years, do you think that what she said is genuine?”
“I have always heard stories about remnants, but none of them ever proves to be true. However, the mistrustful senior brother mentioned by her must be senior brother Cao. If he really believed that Young Sovereign, then the Young Sovereign’s news about the remnants must be genuine.”
“It seems like senior brother Cao is quite famous.”
“That’s right, he’s always skeptical of everything.”
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen changed the topic, and warned her, “Be careful!”
“What?” Xuan Qing didn’t understand what he meant.
“Even if they didn’t have a Buddhist School disciple like me, they would still have carried out their plan, which means that they are confident of success. This is why my existence isn’t really important to them.”
Jiang Chen could guess this, and he said, “Since the beginning, this woman has targeted you and tried to change your aims. It was only after discovering that she couldn’t convince you that she came up with a way of dealing with me.”
“What are you implying?” Xuan Qing was confused. She hadn’t detected what Jiang Chen had stated.
“They are remnants left by the Empyrean Goddess, while you are a descendant of the Empyrean Goddess. Taking you with her is tantamount to having a trump card,” Jiang Chen answered as he looked at Murong Yanran, who was walking ahead of them.
When Murong Yanran noticed his gaze, she turned her around and smiled at him.
“You want to play with me, don’t you? Let’s see who will laugh last,” Jiang Chen said to himself.
