True and false
"Since it was the Prefect of Guyuan Commandery who was simply curious, I beg your forgiveness, sir. Simply refraining from discussing the details would not warrant taking his life."
"Now that this man has surrendered, if you punish him for this, sir, word will get out, and no one will come to surrender in the future."
"Yes, sir, please reconsider. If we do not treat those who surrender well, how can we attract others to surrender?"
Inside the tent, many people around spoke up, pleading for Wu Cunyi.
Wu Cunyi's words actually piqued their curiosity.
Everyone says that you, Meng Jiuchuan, have seen immortals, but whether you really have or not, nobody knows.
Is it really true that it's just your words?
On the contrary, Wu Cunyi may have truly met an immortal.
This is actually quite a famous story.
Not long after Wu Cunyi met the immortal, the three warlords had already set out, claiming to fight to the death, but in reality, they wanted to unite and annihilate Wu Cunyi.
However, to the surprise of these three warlords, they had not yet arrived.
Wu Cunyi, however, saw through the situation and directly chose one of the warlords to surrender.
In this situation, the original alliance of the three warlords instantly crumbled.
The lords who accepted Wu Cunyi's surrender were then asked by two other lords to kill Wu Cunyi.
However, Wu Cunyi controlled a considerable number of troops, and he had just brought these troops to surrender.
If they were killed, Wu Cunyi's troops might mutini, so that's obviously not an option.
Furthermore, Guyuan Commandery still obeys Wu Cunyi's orders, and killing Guyuan Commandery would attract the attention of the other two warlords.
Therefore, Wu Cunyi's life was saved.
Because the three warlords secretly allied, very few people knew about this matter, and there was absolutely no possibility of it being spread.
In addition, Wu Cunyi had met an immortal before, and afterwards, a saying given to him by the immortal was also said.
After this back and forth, everyone basically came to believe that Wu Cunyi immortal.
The words spoken by the immortal and Wu Cunyi were deliberately leaked by Wu Cunyi in the past.
This was mainly to appease the other feudal lords.
This will let them know, look, even the immortals have said so, I will never have the chance to sit in that position again, so you can rest assured about me.
In fact, after this matter got out, Wu Cunyi did indeed receive far less attention.
Now, Wu Cunyi has come to the main tent and inquired about Jiuchuan.
The scene looked somewhat like a confrontation between the real and fake Monkey Kings, or perhaps between the Li Kui Li Gui.
Meng Jiuchuan was not as timid as he seemed.
His good friend was a genuine immortal; he hadn't just met an immortal once, he'd met one several times!
Therefore, upon hearing this, he immediately suppressed the various voices below, looked at Wu Cunyi, and chuckled.
"According to you, you saw quite a few immortals back then?"
Wu Cunyi asked Meng Jiuchuan which immortal he had met.
From this, we can tell that the other person has seen more than one immortal.
Wu Cunyi nodded. Back then, he had indeed seen more than one immortal.
Seeing the other person nod, but not saying anything else, it seemed as if they had been tricked into revealing information.
Meng Jiuchuan found it somewhat amusing and shook his head, saying, "The immortal I met was nothing more than a handsome young man, like a refined gentleman, with a gourd hanging from his waist."
"I don't know, but was it the immortal you saw?"
As Meng Jiuchuan spoke, he looked intently at Wu Cunyi.
Upon hearing this description, Wu Cunyi was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and stood frozen in place.
Upon seeing this, the expressions of the left and right captains, assistant generals, lieutenant generals, and other generals immediately changed.
Judging from Wu Cunyi's current appearance, it's impossible not to see that the other party was completely right!
In other words, my family member truly saw the immortals and wasn't deceiving others?
While everyone's expressions were complicated and their hearts were filled with shock.
Standing in the middle, Wu Cunyi suddenly burst into loud sobs, his cries filled with grief, as if his wife, children, and parents had been murdered.
The crying came so suddenly that it startled everyone around.
Everyone stared intently, puzzled. "Why is he crying so bitterly?"
The crowd was puzzled. You were once a powerful warlord, so why are you crying like this now?
Wu Cunyi wept bitterly for a long time, and seeing that everyone was gradually becoming impatient, he finally spoke.
"Non-Self intention to do so; it was simply that sorrow welled up from my heart."
"That day, when I went to the street to look for immortals, I saw a person who was exactly as the master described. I found this person to be extraordinary, but then I thought to myself, the immortal in the city is surnamed Lü, and this person has no connection with that Immortal Lü, so I ignored him."
"After that, I met that Immortal Lü. Immortal Lü told me that knowing I was an immortal Non-Self destiny, and then gave me a piece of advice before leaving."
"But when Immortal Lü met that young immortal, his attitude instantly became extremely respectful. Judging from his demeanor, the young immortal was even more Immortal Lü."
"I had already witnessed the extraordinary abilities of that young immortal, yet I did not approach him for a conversation, thus missing out on a chance encounter with a celestial being. How could I not be filled with sorrow?"
Wu Cunyi recounted in detail the encounter with the immortal that day.
In the end, he became even more sorrowful. If he had spoken with that young immortal back then, he would probably be the one sitting in Meng Jiuchuan's seat now.
The people around him were all stunned, after all, none of them had ever encountered an immortal before, and this was the first time they had heard of such a thing, but they felt as if they had greatly broadened their horizons.
Most importantly, according to what the other party said, the immortal that Meng Jiuchuan encountered was a real event?
Upon thinking of this, everyone felt a shiver run down their spines.
The immortal he encountered was a powerful one at that; was it Meng Jiuchuan who ran into him?
No wonder their uprising went so smoothly, while Wu Cunyi could only think about saving his own life?
"Oh, I see?"
After hearing this, Meng Jiuchuan was quite surprised. It seemed that his friend was quite powerful among the immortals.
So, is encountering an immortal always beneficial?
Why didn't I benefit from my first encounter with Fang Zelin?
That's not right either. The first time, Fang Zelin came to see me specifically, so it probably doesn't count.
The second time, it should be the first time, when the other party told me to go back and prepare for action.
It seems like my luck improved a lot after that?
Is this the benefit Fang Zelin gave him?
Meng Jiuchuan thought about it and felt that this was very likely the case.
However, Wu Cunyi was unlucky; he didn't greet Fang Zelin at that time.
Otherwise, maybe we'd be luckier.
