In the limelight, Jiang Xuan, completely clueless about Luo Sheng’s intentions, cautiously asked:
“Um… Senior Sister, what are you planning to do with these copies?”
“These things have rocked my Dao heart, and I want to find out why…”
“Oh… I see… Well, good luck with that, Senior Sister! It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you.”
Once he realized that the other party wasn’t using the Recording Stone to threaten him, Jiang Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and politely ushered her out.
He had no understanding of this Unfeeling Dao stuff, so he couldn’t help her out anyway.
What’s more, ever since Jiang Xuan learned that this Senior Sister had seen the images in the Recording Stone, he found their interactions a bit awkward.
However, what Luo Sheng said next left him utterly petrified.
“Besides returning the Recording Stone to its rightful owner, I mainly want to ask you for a favor.
I want to perfect my Unfeeling Dao, but I need to overcome this thing that’s shaken my Dao heart.
If I don’t, once my Dao heart shatters, my cultivation might just vanish into thin air.
So… could you reenact the images in the Recording Stone for me?
I intend to give it my all—if I win, I’ll step into the pinnacle of my Unfeeling Dao, if I lose, I’ll become a total loser.”
Jiang Xuan was like, “!!!!!!!”
At that moment, Jiang Xuan, slightly dumbfounded, thought to himself:
“Wait… How does practicing the Unfeeling Dao involve me?
And besides, she just watched the images, and now she’s here expecting me to reenact them? That’s a bit much!”
On the surface, Jiang Xuan didn’t even bother to think and bluntly refused:
“I refuse! I think your approach is way too extreme, Senior Sister. If something happens and your cultivation collapses, wouldn’t I end up being the villain?
And even worse, I might get hunted down by the entire Qingluan Sect! That’s far too risky for me to help…”
Hearing Jiang Xuan’s refusal, Luo Sheng nodded slowly.
“I understand, I didn’t think this through. Sorry for bothering you… I’ll go ask Little Junior Sister if she has any way to help me.”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
At this point, Jiang Xuan remembered that Luo Sheng had one hundred copies of the Recording Stone in her hands.
If she showed those to Nangong Liu Yun, then he…
If the Recording Stone only showed him being threatened and refusing to give in, Liu Yun might get mad, but it wouldn’t go beyond her tolerance.
After all, Jiang Xuan had already explained that he was avenged by his disciple, and then refused to yield, only to be saved by Senior Sister, which made sense.
But the problem was… those images were… him forced into all sorts of humiliating pleas for mercy. If Liu Yun saw those…
The only conclusion Jiang Xuan could come up with was three words:
“I will d*e.”
Just thinking about that outcome made Jiang Xuan panic.
He quickly called out to Luo Sheng, who was turning to leave.
“Wait, Senior Sister! I think Liu Yun might not be able to help you. Let me handle it instead.”
“Oh? You’ve changed your mind and are willing to help me?”
“Well, thinking it over, you’ve helped me out a few times before. I really should repay you properly.
But before I help you, we need to agree on some details.”
“Okay, what do you have in mind?”
“First, I need you to give me all 100 copies of the Recording Stone.”
“No problem. Once I perfect my Unfeeling Dao, I won’t need those anymore.”
With those words, Luo Sheng handed Jiang Xuan 99 Recording Stones.
“Just one left. I’ll give it to you after you help me.”
Seeing the mountain of Recording Stones in front of him, Jiang Xuan was utterly shocked.
He casually picked one up and checked the image, and his shock only grew.
“WTF, this Senior Sister really did replicate 100 of them!
I thought 100 was just an exaggeration, but it’s real!
Good thing I stopped her; if just one of these got out, it would have been a disaster for me…”
Settling down his nerves, Jiang Xuan continued:
“Second, this business of helping you must not be mentioned to anyone, not even Liu Yun!”
“Sure, I promise.”
With Luo Sheng agreeing, Jiang Xuan finally relaxed a bit.
After agreeing on the terms, however, Luo Sheng took a seat on the soft couch in the room.
“Well… can we get started?”
Coming back to his senses, Jiang Xuan replied with slight confusion:
“Yeah, we can, but… specifically, what do you want me to do?”
“Simply put, you just need to reenact the images in the Recording Stone. Oh, but change it up a bit—this time, you’ll be facing me…
Don’t worry, you’re Little Junior Sister’s, I know my limits. I won’t touch you at all.
Once I stabilize my Dao heart with the Unfeeling Dao, I’ll break through to perfection.
According to my master, throughout ten thousand years, only one person has achieved perfection in the Unfeeling Dao.
That person was unbeatable, suppressing myriad clans and leading humanity through one of its most glorious eras.”
Jiang Xuan: “……..”
At this moment, Jiang Xuan thought:
“Why does this sound a little familiar…?”
On the surface, Jiang Xuan nodded.
“Alright, I have a rough idea now. Let’s start.”
As he said that, Jiang Xuan flipped the switch on his top-tier acting skills and prepared to cooperate, only to be lightly tapped by Luo Sheng’s finger.
In the next moment, his clothes were in tatters.
With a bewildered expression, Jiang Xuan blurted out:
“Wait, Senior Sister, what are you doing?!”
“Well, I’m helping you better replicate the images in the Recording Stone.
Don’t worry, I’ve seen them many times; I won’t mess things up. Go ahead!”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
Luo Sheng’s nonchalant words left Jiang Xuan completely dumbfounded.
But in his current situation, it was like an arrow was on the string, and he had to let it fly.
Anyway, since she was cultivating the Unfeeling Dao, she probably wouldn’t do anything to him.
…
Thus, Jiang Xuan performed the defeat CG once more.
He wore a weak and helpless, pitiful expression and began to say:
“Senior Sister Luo Sheng, it’s all my fault. Please… please forgive me… I… I can do anything…”
Jiang Xuan thought he would have to perform a few rounds of defeat CG to satisfy this Senior Sister.
But just as he finished his sentence, he heard a shattering sound.
As Jiang Xuan felt puzzled, his hands were suddenly pinned down.
“Oh? You can do anything? Is that for real?”
Jiang Xuan: “????????”
Returning to reality, Jiang Xuan noticed that Luo Sheng’s aura seemed to be rapidly draining away.
But this usually expressionless girl was now sporting a devilishly charming smile.
At that moment, Jiang Xuan thought:
“Wait, I haven’t even done anything yet, and her Dao heart has already shattered?
This is bad; I’ve really gotten myself into trouble now. What a disaster!”
