She Ning looked at Zhao Xiang's sudden silence and couldn't help but show a confused expression, "What, you don't want my assistance anymore?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiang quickly came back to his senses and looked at She Ning, saying hurriedly, "I didn't mean that. I was thinking," he mimicked Mu An Xiao, "You are so powerful, can you help me? If it's about assistance, I should be assisting you. If I ask you to assist me, I definitely can't." He was terrified of those monsters from the bottom of his heart and hoped She Ning could help him. He was willing to lay down his dignity.
Unexpectedly, She Ning fell silent.
Seeing She Ning's sudden silence, Zhao Xiang lost his patience, "Those monsters caused mortals to lose their homes and made your job more difficult. Don't you want to kill them?" He was anxious.
Mu An Xiao listened to Zhao Xiang's attitude of wanting to use She Ning to kill the monsters, her heart sank. Recalling the true forms of the monsters, she said in a low voice, "He cannot kill them."
"Why?" Zhao Xiang felt Mu An Xiao was speaking for the monsters and got angry.
Mu An Xiao understood Zhao Xiang's feelings at the moment, but the fact was that the other side of those monsters were all humans. If She Ning were to go on a killing spree, his immortal position and title would definitely be affected.
Most importantly, She Ning was a newcomer who had only recently become an immortal, so he would naturally be cautious about these matters.
Regarding this, she thought, perhaps the dual identity of monsters and humans was one of the reasons why She Ning was hesitant to act?
Thus, she looked towards She Ning.
"..."
Seeing Mu An Xiao not speaking, Zhao Xiang got angry, "Why aren't you paying attention to me?"
"He is an immortal." Mu An Xiao didn't even glance at Zhao Xiang.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiang snorted coldly, "That's no excuse. They are all monsters, and each of them has blood on their hands. Your inaction is irresponsible. If that's the case," he completely lost his reason, "I'll go myself. If I die, it will all be on your heads."
"You dare." She Ning growled.
Zhao Xiang's heart was already filled with hatred, "See if I dare. I'm telling you, as long as you don't help me, I can do anything. We'll see." He pointed at She Ning.
She Ning had seen people whose consciousness was occupied by fear. He had also seen many people like Zhao Xiang who acted rashly and were unclear about things.
Therefore, he calmly watched Zhao Xiang, waiting to see what else Zhao Xiang would say to provoke him.
"..."
Seeing that She Ning remained silent, Zhao Xiang's anger subsided by half, "I've agreed to help you, it's not very considerate of you to act like this."
"How am I inconsiderate?" She Ning retorted.
"You said, I help you, you help me. Now this matter," Zhao Xiang said, gasping for breath in anger, and continued, "is between you and me. If they die, those villages will no longer suffer destruction, and I will have avenged myself. When I go back, I can also speak to the master for you. It's killing two birds with one stone, getting double benefits. Yet you don't appreciate it. What do you mean?"
"Those monsters were created by your master." She Ning said faintly.
Zhao Xiang nodded without thinking.
She Ning continued, "Since they were created by your master, you must know their total number."
Total number?
Speaking from experience, before tonight, Zhao Xiang had never seen these monsters, nor had Ouyang Ye ever informed him about them. He only knew that his task here was to ensure Shen Mo Yun got married. Everything else, he only knew bits and pieces.
It was this that left him bewildered.
"I don't understand what you're saying?" he replied truthfully.
Ignorance is no sin.
She Ning could also see that Zhao Xiang had a high status by Ouyang Ye's side, but in reality, he had no status at all. From another perspective, Zhao Xiang was merely a tool for Ouyang Ye to use.
Naturally, She Ning could understand why he didn't know certain things.
Therefore, She Ning began to explain patiently, "What I mean is, these monsters are distributed around many villages, and these are just some of them. Most importantly, as far as I know, they were all young people from these villages. After experiencing some events, they were taken in by your master. So," he looked at Zhao Xiang quietly, "do you understand what I mean now?"
Listening to She Ning's words, Mu An Xiao thought about Zhao Xiang's position by Ouyang Ye's side and suddenly realized, "Zhao Xiang, I don't believe you don't know how those monsters became like that."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiang lowered his eyelids.
She Ning frowned, "You are indeed pretending."
"I just want to kill that monster," Zhao Xiang squinted, thinking about the threat that monster posed to him, "The rest is none of my business."
None of my business?
Zhao Xiang's words were like a needle piercing deeply into Mu An Xiao's ear. Looking at him, she thought of Ouyang Ye's selfish nature and couldn't help but sneer, "As expected of Ouyang Ye's subordinate, this selfish personality is indeed comparable to his."
"Mu Xiao, I didn't ask you to help me. You'd better talk less." Zhao Xiang's expression changed again.
This time, Mu An Xiao snorted coldly and looked at She Ning. She wanted to see what kind of answer She Ning would give him.
At the same time, Zhao Xiang also shifted his gaze to She Ning's face.
After Zhao Xiang and Mu An Xiao's exchange, She Ning finally understood Zhao Xiang's intention. "You want to use me to kill those monsters." He looked at Zhao Xiang.
"As far as I know, that monster is the leader. As long as he dies, the other monsters will also be obedient..."
"You only listen to your master, and they are no exception." She Ning said clearly.
At this moment, Zhao Xiang's eyes were completely blinded by hatred. Looking at him, Zhao Xiang showed a dismissive expression, "Coward, you're just afraid to touch those monsters, aren't you?"
"Yes." She Ning uttered the word coldly.
Zhao Xiang's eyes darkened, "You're deliberately not helping me, aren't you?"
"Based on my observation, those monsters are all humans. If I act against them, I will be punished. Moreover," She Ning was too lazy to bicker with Zhao Xiang and spoke the truth, "I am not qualified to act against them. Recently, I have been wanting to find their master and negotiate with their master. I believe that when the time comes, immortals will come to take them away."
"You are too optimistic," Zhao Xiang said coldly.
She Ning: "Everything has rules, and I cannot break them."
"Rules are dead, people are alive, you can change them." Zhao Xiang was agitated.
"Then you change them." She Ning said coldly.
Mu An Xiao looked at She Ning's stubborn side and couldn't be bothered to speak.
Hearing this, Zhao Xiang's eyes widened, and he raised his hand, saying, "Let's have a match. If I win, you listen to me. If you win, I give up." With that, he began to use demonic arts.
Seeing Zhao Xiang act like this, She Ning took a step back, waved his hand, and Zhao Xiang was frozen in place.
Mu An Xiao glanced at both Zhao Xiang and She Ning, intentionally remaining silent.
