"So that's how it works." Huang Xiao nodded.
Liu Zhi hesitated briefly before asking, "Young Hero Huang, you're Senior Li's successor. Are you really going to stand by and watch this sword manual fall into the Heavenly Sword Sect's hands?"
"Of course I don't want that." Huang Xiao shook his head.
"Then perhaps we could join forces? Lin Kuisheng is only one man. Together, we could certainly force him to hand over the sword manual," Liu Zhi suggested.
Huang Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's a good idea. To tell you the truth, my target this time is also Lin Kuisheng."
Huang Xiao had his own considerations in choosing to work with Liu Zhi.
Although he was going after Lin Kuisheng this time because of Lin Kuisheng's personal actions, Lin Kuisheng was, after all, a member of the Heavenly Sword Sect. It was hard to say whether the Heavenly Sword Sect would use this as a pretext to make trouble. But with Liu Zhi involved, things would be different.
Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to make trouble, it would have to consider the Imperial Court's reaction. Huang Xiao believed that the Heavenly Sword Sect was certainly not yet ready to break with the Imperial Court completely, so it would still restrain itself.
Thus, a minor matter like Lin Kuisheng would probably be left unsettled for the time being. That was what Huang Xiao wanted.
When he made his move, he at least needed someone to shoulder some of the responsibility for him, and the Imperial Court was the best choice.
Of course, this did not mean Huang Xiao was scheming against Liu Zhi. In any case, striking at someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect benefited Liu Zhi. Huang Xiao was also giving him an opportunity.
