Dao Cheng might not have expected such a turn of events, but dealing with Xue Ping came as easily as lifting a hand. Moreover, Xue Ping did not know who Xiao Hua's enemies were. After the two spoke for a while, Dao Cheng's answers remained watertight, and Xue Ping learned nothing. As for Fairy Xiangfeng disguising herself as Yun Mengzi, Dao Cheng would never leak so much as a whisper of it.
The Daoist elders' discussion soon ended. Zhang Daoran spoke first. "Fellow Daoist Diquan, this old man believes... the restrictions on these two treasures are absolutely no small matter. Therefore, this old man's first suggestion is... that we break the restrictions together!"
"Ah?" True Person Diquan froze. Zhang Daoran's suggestion had truly caught him off guard. After glancing at True Person Han and the others, he turned back with an ingratiating smile. "Brother Daoran's suggestion is excellent. However... there are only two treasures on this jade table, while there are so many of us. I fear they would be difficult to divide. Better for each of us to act on our own."
True Person Diquan's meaning was clear: they feared making wedding clothes for Zhang Daoran and the others. Zhang Daoran was unsurprised and smiled. "In that case, the four of you may act first! The two restrictions are yours to choose as you please. But whether you fail or succeed, my side will act afterward."

Yet just as True Person Diquan and True Person Han were about to move, Yun Mengzi suddenly called them both to a halt through voice transmission. Careful Yun Mengzi had already heard something in Zhang Daoran's words.
