I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3433: Chapter 1701: The Belated Position Seeking, The Path of Fattening Up Before Killing_2

He didn’t dare to use telepathic communication to implant memories into Xu Xiaoshou, so he reconnected with the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique and cursed angrily:

“You are you, I am me, the Holy Emperor of Cold Palace is not stupid, will not fall for your treacherous plan, I am a good person!”

“Pfft.”

“What are you laughing at!” Dao Qiongcang was immediately enraged; this guy was simply unbearable.

“Do you want me to inform the Holy Emperor of Cold Palace of your ‘Path Division one-person’ achievement?” Xu Xiaoshou said quietly.

“…”

“Hallmaster Dao, you used to be the master. Gou Wuyue was suspected of not putting in full effort and got his arm cut off. Don’t you know the style of your Holy Emperor aristocratic family?”

“…”

At Nanming Deep Sea, Dao Qiongcang was at a loss for words.

Indeed, he wasn’t a good person and continued those clearly prohibited studies over the years.

Perhaps because of the indifference of the superiors, not many elites of the five great Holy Emperor aristocratic families know what good deeds he’s done on Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe.

But he truly could not stand scrutiny.

If he were still on the Sacred Mountain, still the master.

He would just need to report some good news at fixed times to let the people above know “the five regions are stable.”

This would be enough; they wouldn’t bother to think too much, nor monitor too much — no one would constantly guard against ants.

But he is not a Hallmaster Dao anymore.

He is outside now, once suspicion arises above the Stairway to Heaven, upon investigation, there would be loopholes everywhere.

Even if he dives into Nanming Deep Sea, it is akin to surfacing!

“Dao Xuanji…”

Thinking of this, Dao Qiongcang wished he could stab a few more holes in his sister’s body.

He could have arranged everything and then silently submerged in the deep water zone, no one would pay attention.

The variable he thought could be fixed, turned out to be irreversible; a fixable variable is not really a variable.

Its explosion point appeared unexpectedly at this time!

“Why did you drag me into the water?” Dao Qiongcang’s tone returned to calm, becoming once more the unpredictable Dao Qiongcang.

He was not one to be tangled up in the past.

He quickly accepted the setup of being forcefully bound by Xu Xiaoshou, because “getting rid of the bonds” is harder and brings more trouble than “solving the issue.”

With this change in thought, he immediately began to reflect on matters from the perspectives of both parties, yet he found he still couldn’t quite understand Xu Xiaoshou.

“I don’t know.”

The Spirit Rhinoceros Technique delivered Xu Xiaoshou’s voice, sounding dismissive yet sincere:

“I instinctively feel you aren’t being kind by helping me, with all your “Thirteen Must Ask” questions and the Divine Seal, I must be being used by you.”

“You mentioned equivalent exchange, treating me so well, you must have gained something at my expense, but I’m too foolish to see where you’ve used me.”

“So I shouldn’t be the only one at a loss, you paid a friendship fee, we share fortune and face hardship together.”

“What I gave was the ‘Thirteen Forbidden Sayings’!” Dao Qiongcang responded furiously.

“Oh, really?”

“Hehehe…” Deep beneath the sea, Dao Qiongcang was amused by his own mock anger, Xu Xiaoshou saw right through him!

Sizzle.

Intent always carries the sound of water breaking and faintly the cry of sea beasts.

After breaking apart the Hand of Holy Ancestor, the time left for himself wasn’t much, it wasn’t meant for flirting with Dao Qiongcang.

Dao Qiongcang wasn’t a trump card.

But he could certainly count as a backup plan.

Xu Xiaoshou wouldn’t bind himself to a fool.

He wanted the feeling of being used by Bazhun’an at Dongtianwang City, by Dao Qiongcang amidst the Divine Relics.

Using a wise man as a pawn, he didn’t need to deliberate thoroughly. He could enact variables or in crucial moments, achieve unexpected effects.

Xu Xiaoshou specifically marked the space node where the water sound came from and found Dao Qiongcang indeed hidden underwater, deep in Nanming.

Is it useful?

Even if you hide ten thousand leagues beneath the sea, Brother Gong Han can fetch you with just a Hand of Holy Ancestor card.

Something seemed off, Xu Xiaoshou’s heart suddenly grew wary and then asked, “By the way, when I hadn’t pulled you into the water yet, why did you run into the water first?”

“…”

On asking this, there was no response from Dao Qiongcang.

Xu Xiaoshou felt a thrill, realizing he might have touched upon something crucial, this fellow was actually dodging the problem!

So he wasn’t in the Southern Region, instinctively hiding in Nanming, but had a direction from the start?

“If I were Dao Qiongcang…”

Xu Xiaoshou put himself in the position to think, suddenly enlightened.

If he were Dao Qiongcang, when explaining to the Holy Emperor of Cold Palace that he was being falsely accused by Xu Xiaoshou, he would certainly harbor thoughts of not being understood and being first apprehended.

Thus, Dao Qiongcang also must ensure that while explaining clearly, he finds a way out for himself; if he needs to confront the Holy Emperor of Cold Palace, he would need to prepare a path in advance.

A path to survival!

And your path is my path!

Xu Xiaoshou was ecstatic; Dao Qiongcang was so useful, binding with him was simply the wisest choice.

Bazhun’an as a trump card remains unplayed for now.

Playing Dao Qiongcang resulted in unexpected gains, as treasured as supreme wealth.

Seeing this guy still not confess, Xu Xiaoshou used the Spirit Rhinoceros Technique to transmit, scolding bitterly:

“Good for you, Dao Qiongcang!”

“You don’t want to share secrets with me anymore?”

“Have you forgotten our bond from the Divine Relics?”

“It’s not you who got pulled into the water, it was me, okay, and now you’re still sneaking around with those mysterious things…Why are you going to Nanming, who’s in Nanming, say!”

…

“Huh?”

High above the Nine Heavens, a belated voice of surprise sounded.

The Hand of Holy Ancestor being broken apart, such intense power manifesting on the Shengshen Continent wasn’t unusual.

But it’s rare for such power to come from an unfamiliar youngster.
