I Choose You

[Du Busi: As expected. Although you did something awful, you stood on the front line just like me when it came to stopping Tang San!]

Du Busi was even a little teary-eyed, but Zhang Lexuan's big hand had already pinched Shen Yichen's cheek.

Zhang Lexuan raised an eyebrow, her eyes seeming to speak volumes, "Why are you getting involved in Du Busi's affairs?"

Shen Yichen smiled awkwardly, raised his small hand, and touched Zhang Lexuan's large hand.

Why involve something that Du Busi?

Because... fleeing in disarray, leaving their homeland, would only cause Tang San some trouble, so why not?

Although it was by chance that I came to Dragon City and happened to run into the Ice and Snow Emperors, even if I'm happy, I'm still going to beat you up.

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Saving Huo Yun'er is unrealistic. If the Sea God is determined to kill Huo Yun'er, no one can save her.]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: But, it's no problem to give him a little trouble.]

[Du Busi: Tell me, tell me!]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: You pretend to be a member of the Shrek's Inspection Corps, write a letter to Xuan Zi, and say that you've received information that Du Busi is planning to kidnap Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er.]

[Du Busi: And then what?]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Then, it's up to fate.]

[Du Busi: Hmm?]

Once something falls into Xuan Zi's hands, there's an 80% chance it will be ruined.

In addition...

The others have always been stuck in a misconception that Tang San's 'enemy' is Huo Yuhao, the Child of Luck.

In reality, Tang San's true 'enemy' is not Huo Yuhao, but the Plane Consciousness!

Go ahead and start a fight. As long as it's not in Tang San's favor, the Plane Consciousness will definitely arrange coincidences and luck.

While it may seem that Du Busi is testing Tang San's rules, it is actually Shen Yichen testing the rules of the Plane Consciousness.

Just as the evil white-furred ball of fur thought, as an Otherworldly Demon, he didn't think Tang San was particularly evil in some ways, such as the Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan.

Douluo Continent could be transformed into the Tang Family Continent through Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan, it might just be able to become Shen Family Continent.

If fate is kind to me, then I won't be so ruthless. After all, I don't have a father who can be inserted into the Plane Consciousness of another dimension, or a mother who can be planted in the Life Core.

Conversely, if the Plane Consciousness were to remain hidden, even if he later defeated Tang San, he would still be able to control the plane just like Tang San.

[Du Busi: I don't understand.]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Foolish!]

[Du Busi:...]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: You need to understand, Tang San only has two cards to play openly. One is Shrek, and the other is the Clear Sky Sect.]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Since Tang San chose to have Mu En bring Huo Yun'er to Shrek City, it means that Shrek City is playing a positive role. It's illogical to tell Shrek one minute that he'll save Huo Yun'er, and the next minute that he'll issue a divine decree to kill Huo Yun'er.]

[Du Busi: Oh... oh! So, those two beasts from the Clear Sky Sect were the ones playing the good cop? Even if it's just acting, they still had to put on a show when the good cop and bad cop were paired up?]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: To maintain the Sea God's mystique (and prestige), Sea God wouldn't personally issue divine decrees to every elder of Shrek. If Xuan Zi were to encounter those two Soul Beasts, it wouldn't be a peaceful performance.]

However, it's practically impossible for Xuan Zi to stop Da Ming Er Ming from being in power.

However, it's hard to say. If only Er Ming is on the mission, Xuan Zi might actually be able to put up a fight with him. Whether he can win or not is another matter, but when two thick-skinned people fight each other, it's not something that can be decided in a short time.

[Du Busi: The plan is good, but how can you guarantee that Xuan Zi will happen to run into those two Soul Beasts committing their crimes?]

[The Great Sage Equal to Heaven: I can't guarantee that. We'll just have to try our luck, whether we get a chance or not!]

Fate: You are being matched with an equally matched opponent.

Thinking about it, the idea that Du Busi is true.

Given the current situation, there is no foolproof solution.

At the Soul Master Tournament, the Shrek Academy team's 'exhibition match' had just ended. But... Zhang Lexuan's mind wasn't on the competition at all.

She looked at Shen Yichen with a strange expression. This kid really doesn't treat Xuan Zi like a human being...

Even if Xuan Zi tries his best to stop Da Ming Er Ming, Da Ming Er Ming will not kill Xuan Zi, but Xuan Zi will inevitably get a beating.

It's often said that three men can accomplish great things, but in reality, two are enough.

A genius of ideas, a pragmatist.

In the entire Douluo Continent, no one has more ideas than Shen Yichen.

If Shen Yichen dared to say Du Busi, he would listen and even carry it out decisively!

As soon as the plan was finalized, Du Busi took action.

Having chosen an Inner Court student of a lower rank, Du Busi began his act.

He blurted out things like "taking revenge on Shrek" and "planning to Heavenly Tribulation Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er in the next few days."

Since the target is Xuan Zi, the fear isn't that the Du Busi him if the wording is too explicit and arouses suspicion, but rather that it's too subtle and Xuan Zi won't process it.

He exchanged a couple of blows with the Inner Court student, and after Inner Court student released a signal flare, he punched the student, forcing him back, and then turned and left.

After turning around and leaving, Du Busi stopped worrying about whether the plan would succeed. He circled back to Shrek City, partly to see how things would develop, and partly to wait for an opportunity to try and sabotage Tang San elsewhere.

Things unfolded exactly as Du Busi and Shen Yichen had predicted.

The Shrek Academy's investigation team's affairs were eventually reported to their leader, Xuan Zi. Upon hearing that Du Busi good, Xuan Zi was on edge.

A year ago, I was cornered and beaten up in Shrek City by Du Busi. Then, when I went to the Body Sect to carry out a mission, I was cornered and beaten up again at the entrance of the Body Sect.

Mu En just went to Heaven Dou City with the delegation. If something happens in Shrek City, how am I supposed to explain it to Mu En?

In particular, before Mu En left, he repeatedly instructed me to protect Huo Yuhao...

Immediately, Xuan Zi forgot about drinking and eating meat, concealed his presence, and squatted down at the entrance of Huo Yuhao's courtyard.

It's decided. The Soul Master Tournament will only last for less than a month. I'll stay here and not leave for a moment until Mu En returns!

Heaven Dou City

Shen Yichen's lips curled up. Giving Du Busi advice was just for fun; it wasn't really a scheme.

To truly defeat Tang San, one must rely on raw strength.

Such petty scheming is only good for annoying Tang San.

After this job is done, it's time to remind Du Busi to hide properly and not cause any more trouble.

Du Busi, he's a real talent. We can't let him leave the scene so early. He can execute any idea I suggest; there aren't many people like that.

As for Huo Yun'er, whether she leaves the scene or not, Shen Yichen doesn't care! He doesn't care that much Du Busi or not...

If Huo Yun'er hadn't also Body Martial Soul, Du Busi would have wanted to personally beat her to death.

It's worth noting that when Du Busi's fate was unknown, it was Great Sage Equal to Heaven who frequently inquired about his safety in the group chat, while Huo Yun'er only offered a token expression of concern after Du Busi appeared on the chat.

In this group, everyone knows perfectly well who can be trusted and who can't be, even if they're Du Busi.
