Too Ruthless: He Had Clearly Completed the Spirit Forging Meditation Method, Yet Kept It Hidden
Ring ring--!
A sudden, urgent doorbell ring snapped Ning Chuan out of his reverie.
I turned my head to look.
The screen next to the door displayed three people.
Jiang Xiaorou, Shi Feng, and Song Shiyu.
Ning Chuan then remembered that he had called the three of them over today to discuss luring Xie Lian into a trap.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Chuan did not put the black-eyed stone tablet into his spatial ring, but placed it on the coffee table, then got up and opened the door.
The figure within the black-eyed stone tablet was terrifying.
A hasty attack would be very dangerous.
Although there shouldn't be any unusual activity if I don't actively stimulate it with my Divine Sense.
Just in case, Ning Chuan decided to go see Wei Chen later and ask him to seal it up before keeping it close to his body.
"Come in."
Ning Chuan opened the door and led the three to the reception room, found a chair, and said, "Please, make yourselves at home."
"Teaching Assistant Ning, I'll go pour some tea."
Jiang Xiaorou said softly, then jogged into the restaurant, skillfully brewing tea and pouring water for the group.
Because he had important matters to discuss, Ning Chuan allowed his maid to rest today.
"Thank you for your help, Secretary Jiang."
Song Shiyu accepted the teacup and thanked him warmly.
He always thinks a lot.
Now I'm a secretary at work, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Composing himself, Song Shiyu turned his gaze to Ning Chuan and cut to the chase. "There's a tricky part to luring Xie Lian into the trap: how does he obtain the Martial Seal for the Spirit Forging Meditation Method?"
"It's quite difficult."
Ning Chuan nodded and echoed.
He had also thought about this problem.
The martial arts techniques he repairs are stored in his spatial ring, which he can access whenever he needs them.
The spatial ring is worn close to the body.
Xie Lian wanted to steal it, but it was clearly impossible; he couldn't do it.
"Forcibly taking it... is not allowed either!"
Ning Chuan shook his head inwardly.
Xie Lian is no match for him and certainly wouldn't dare to try to seize it; the only option is to seek help from Divine General.
Let's set aside whether any Divine General dare to take this risk.
Even if it existed, it wouldn't be of any use.
He is World Walker and is currently at a critical moment in repairing the Spirit Forging Meditation Method, which has attracted much attention.
On campus, if he cries for help, Wei Chen will arrive in an instant.
If Xie Lian still had any sense, he wouldn't have done that.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiaorou tentatively suggested, "How about we leave the Martial Seal at the apartment?"
Song Shiyu shook her head and refused, "No."
Ning Chuan agreed with his point of view, saying, "If it were ordinary martial arts, it would be reasonable for it to be found in an apartment."
Given the importance of the Spirit Forging Meditation Method, I could not possibly do that.
That doesn't make sense.
By doing this, I was practically telling Xie Lian that there was a trap involved!
Jiang Xiaorou felt embarrassed and lowered her head.
"Actually... there is a way."
Song Shiyu coughed lightly and said with a smile, noticing Ning Chuan's eyes flicker, and asked in surprise, "You thought of that too?"
Ning Chuan remained calm and said, "Yes, start with the people around me."
"That's right!"
Song Shiyu, confident in his plan, said, "For Xie Lian, bribing someone close to you to steal the Spirit Forging Meditation Method is the best way; it's low-risk and has a high success rate!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Feng asked doubtfully, "There aren't many people who are familiar with Ning Chuan, are there?"
The implied meaning.
It's very difficult to bribe them.
Song Shiyu smiled and said, "I know, but this is both a bad thing and a good thing for our plan."
Ning Chuan glanced at him, his gaze thoughtful, and said, "Not bad."
Shi Feng, who was standing to the side, was completely confused and said impatiently, " Old Song, stop beating around the bush and give me the conclusion!"
He often felt out of place when Ning Chuan and Song Shiyu were talking, because he felt his intelligence was insufficient.
Does IQ necessarily mean a person is smart?
Song Shiyu laughed and said, "The reason for the bad thing is very simple, just as you imagined."
"With so few people, Xie Lian will be very difficult to bribe!"
Song Shiyu spoke with a calm tone, "But at the same time, if we let one of them slip up, Xie Lian will most likely use that as a breakthrough point, making it easier for our plan to be executed."
Shi Feng's eyes widened, and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he became. He exclaimed, "It really works!"
Ning Chuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are there specific candidates and plans?"
Song Shiyu adjusted his glasses and said, "Not at the moment. I don't know Xie Lian well enough to formulate a corresponding plan."
He pointed out that he had been gradually gathering information about Xie Lian through the military's intelligence department.
Then, Song Shiyu turned her head to look at Jiang Xiaorou beside her and said with a faint smile, "However, relatively speaking, I have more faith in Secretary Jiang."
"I?!"
Jiang Xiaorou was taken aback.
Considering the other party's identity, Song Shiyu didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Among the people who frequently contact Ning Chuan, Secretary Jiang is the most likely to have access to Ning Chuan's newly completed Martial Seal. However, the specifics will depend on the information gathered by the military intelligence department. Unless there's any specific targeting, choosing Secretary Jiang is relatively more suitable."
Jiang Xiaorou nodded slightly, without asking any further questions.
Ning Chuan smiled and said, "No need to rush, take your time. It's not us who should be anxious, it's Xie Lian."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyu raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding, and asked, "Has your progress in Spirit Forging Meditation Method increased again?"
He had heard Ning Chuan mention this before.
"The completeness has reached 95%," Ning Chuan said.
The words were finished.
The people in the room all gasped in shock.
Only 5 percentage points difference!
It's safe to say that completing the project is just around the corner!
Shi Feng sighed and said, "If Xie Lian knew, he would be so panicked that he wouldn't be able to sleep all night!"
Song Shiyu thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "95% repair progress is still a bit lacking. How about we just pretend it's a completion?"
After speaking, he fixed his gaze on Ning Chuan.
Ning Chuan understood immediately, tapping his fingers on the table for a moment before saying, "Okay."
Shi Feng looked left and right, then said helplessly, "Could you say something I can understand?"
Jiang Xiaorou vaguely understood and said softly, "Teaching Assistant Ning, is this what you mean?"
First, go to the Ancient Martial Arts Research Institute to verify that the Spirit Forging Meditation Method is 95% complete.
Then, through some means, a message was leaked to Xie Lian.
You have actually completed the Spirit Forging Meditation Method!
It was only for certain reasons, such as dissatisfaction with the school's reward, that the Martial Seal was not further repaired!
Snap!
Song Shiyu his fingers and laughed, "Secretary Jiang is right, that's exactly it!"
" Shi Feng, did you hear that? It's not that we're being deliberately mysterious, it's just that..."
Song Shiyu sighed and made a joke.
Shi Feng rolled his eyes in anger, but didn't joke around with Song Shiyu.
The important thing is to get down to business.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Feng asked, "How should we convey this information to Xie Lian?"
They completed the Spirit Forging Meditation Method but didn't hand it in.
This is definitely a secret that must be kept strictly confidential!
"Wouldn't Xie Lian be suspicious if he knew?"
Doubt is inevitable, but rare!
Ning Chuan explained, "95% integrity is strong evidence."
Xie Lian had no choice but to believe.
He dared not gamble; the consequence of losing was death, and he couldn't bear that.
"Indeed."
Song Shiyu nodded in agreement, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Although we haven't finalized our specific plan yet, since you've repaired part of it, why don't we release this news first to throw Xie Lian into a panic, making it easier for us to take the initiative?"
"No problem."
Ning Chuan agreed.
Afterwards, the group discussed some details.
Time slips away unnoticed.
2 PM.
Song Shiyu and Shi Feng were the first to leave.
Jiang Xiaorou stayed in the apartment and went with Ning Chuan to retrieve the completed Martial Seal.
As Jiang Xiaorou passed through the living room, her large eyes swept across the room and she caught sight of the black stone plaque on the coffee table, immediately freezing in surprise.
