Chapter 3817: Chapter 1842: Hospital Ward
"I might need to remind you all..."
The All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion, gazing at the cross-legged Xu Xiaoshou in enlightenment, Kong Yuhen rarely broke the silence proactively.
Seeing Bazhun’an, Mei Siren followed his gaze to the door: "Outside, it seems there has been an incident."
Mei Siren immediately linked it to Hua Changdeng.
Earlier, Xu Xiaoshou had mentioned that Hua Changdeng would arrive shortly, but he didn’t expect it to be this soon.
Now Xu Xiaoshou is still in enlightenment, and Bazhun’an must guard him, wary of the unknown crafty schemes of Kong Yuhen.
Who should handle Hua Changdeng?
"He’s not someone who kills the innocent indiscriminately..."
Leaning against the door, Bazhun’an murmured softly but fell silent after one sentence.
This was his impression of Hua Changdeng from thirty years ago.
But times have changed, whether the old acquaintance remains the same is uncertain.
Not to mention, in his deduction, this descent to the lower realm includes not only Hua Changdeng, but also the Ancestral God, these people must be aiming for something.
Therefore, it’s impossible that without others around, Hua Changdeng will behave well and wait for ten days or half a month — he must be forced out!
In other words, what Kong Yuhen meant by an incident might not just be Hua Changdeng’s arrival, perhaps someone has already sacrificed?
"Bazhun’an..."
Mei Siren rose in front of the tea table, looking solemnly, somewhat indecisive.
On one hand, he knew, the current protection of the world does not rely on the Holy Divine Palace, Dao Qiongcang has sunk below the surface, fully relying on the Saint Servant and Xu Xiaoshou’s people to hold on.
But Xu Xiaoshou is not here, Bazhun’an is not here, speaking of peak combat strength, no one can stop Holy Emperor Hua Changdeng.
And on the other hand, are Xu Xiaoshou’s people more important, or is Xu Xiaoshou more important?
If Bazhun’an leaves the pavilion to confront Hua Changdeng, who will be left to guard this place, himself?
A glance at Kong Yuhen, Mei Siren truly didn’t have the confidence to stop him if Kong Yuhen decides to do something.
"I will not leave this place."
Bazhun’an spoke decisively, without the least hesitation.
In his world, even if the sky falls, nothing is more important than Xu Xiaoshou.
Kong Yuhen seemed to have already anticipated this answer, sighing:
"Actually, you both need not guard against me, what I desire, is merely the secondary plane door, the reincarnation gate."
"Once you leave the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion, just do what you need to do, when the time comes, as soon as Xu Xiaoshou finishes his enlightenment, I will return him to you intact."
"As long as you and he remember the agreement, and adhere to the agreement, that will suffice."
For Bazhun’an, the secondary plane door is already somewhat dispensable.
In the past half-year, he has fully grasped Abyss Island, with no need to rely on this door to come and go.
Through the guidance of the God Worship Willow Tree and the transference channel of the Apricot Realm, or by forcible means with Sword Me, three choices, all equal.
But with Xu Xiaoshou not yet finished, the secondary plane door as his leverage, how could it be handed over?
Is this not backstabbing!
Bazhun’an slowly shook his head, only trusting his judgment, daring not to believe in Kong Yuhen’s mere words.
"I’ll go out for a bit."
After deliberation, Mei Siren knew this was the best solution.
Staying here, he wouldn’t be able to help at all, going out, though he cannot win against Hua Changdeng.
But after all, having once crossed paths, being half an enlightenment mentor of Hua Changdeng on the Path of the Ancient Swordsman.
Regardless of the other party acknowledging or not, asking for a bit of face, delaying for time, hopefully, could be achieved.
"Thank you, Master Siren."
Bazhun’an nodded slightly, without even half a sentence of retention, clearly also recognizing this as the best way.
Seeing this, Mei Siren could only shake his head helplessly, they were overly intimate, not even putting on any pretense.
Fortunately, he wasn’t one to fuss over such matters, immediately he cupped his hands to the two, drew his sword, pushed the door, and walked out of the All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion.
In the wooden tower, only the two remained.
Bazhun’an gazed deeply at Xu Xiaoshou, unmoved in expression, but evidently anxious about the external situation, asked: "How much longer does he likely need?"
"Hard to say..."
Kong Yuhen knew the answer was actually a long time.
After all, understanding the Time Dao is just the beginning, afterwards, he still needs to help Xu Xiaoshou meet the War Ancestor, the Heavenly Ancestor, aiding in his avatar transformation.
After finishing the avatar, he still has to acquire the gate, which inevitably involves a round of haggling.
But this is the most crucial part of the agreement — can’t help Xu Xiaoshou so much and get nothing in return?
Through continuous efforts, the time to be delayed could be quite long.
And this hasn’t even accounted for Xu Xiaoshou completing his enlightenment, entering the river of time to meet with that one, whether the ensuing queries require his own assistance to resolve, whether the insights and cultivation require more time to consolidate...
In short, it’s very likely Xu Xiaoshou will not participate in this battle.
And this, as Kong Yuhen intended, was not to cause trouble, but to avoid risk.
Bazhun’an seemed to understand what Kong Yuhen implied, explicitly stating: "With Hua Changdeng’s arrival, I don’t necessarily need Xu Xiaoshou to battle, but I do have a rather presumptuous request to discuss with Brother Yuhen."
Kong Yuhen promptly turned serious, gesturing with his hand: "Mr. Bazhun’an, please speak."
The All Time Forgotten Sorrow Pavilion had no outsiders present.
Even if Xu Xiaoshou was half-awake and heard it, it would be of no consequence.
Bazhun’an was unreserved among his own people, raising his head, his gaze fixed directly on Kong Yuhen: "Brother Yuhen, which side do you stand on?"
Kong Yuhen was taken aback.
Is this the ancient swordsman?
Is he directly piercing the veil of subtlety?
He knew that the person before him was not easy to fool, and remained silent, giving no immediate answer.
Bazhun’an returned his gaze to Xu Xiaoshou, speaking to himself:
"In fact, from your planning and scheming all along, it’s clear you also lean towards Xu Xiaoshou."
"Not to mention, the Time Ancestor Shadow Staff has saved him from imminent danger multiple times, turning the tide."
