Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 586 Speaking of Wang Feiming, He Hides by Day and Travels by Night, Causing Trouble with Monsters
“That’s right. Does elder brother know the reason? If so, please tell me.” Chai Jungui didn’t beat around the bush and went directly to Chu Danqing.

"Let Yingmei explain it to you," Chu Danqing said, letting Ruan Yingmei speak instead of giving a direct answer.

Ruan Yingmei immediately explained the whole story.

This left Chai Jungui with a complicated expression: "So, my elder brother came to save me because of my royal mission?"

“Of course not,” Ruan Yingmei said first. “He is the reincarnation of the Star Lord Yinghuo, so choosing you would be meaningless.”

"If one is to commit the crime of attacking Taiwei by Yinghuo, it would be easier to succeed by joining the ranks of the true emperor."

"To associate with you is to disrupt the natural order."

“If you fail to achieve anything, not only will you die, but many others will also be implicated.”

At this point, Ruan Yingmei paused, and then said, "If you only had this broken primordial spirit, and if it weren't for the rescue by the Star Lord Yinghuo, even if you survived, you would be crippled."

"Not to mention gathering a whole bunch of us together."

Chu Danqing fell silent. His silence wasn't due to Ruan Yingmei's explanation, but rather because he felt he had been tricked by Yang Qianyuan.

The normal mission completion process seems to be exactly as Ruan Yingmei described: follow Zhao Yuanlang and then use the characteristics of Yinghuo Xingjun's primordial spirit to betray the other party.

Instead of choosing to start from scratch like Chai Jungui and then confront various pressures head-on.

As for the benefits, the current process is definitely more profitable.

It's quite difficult, but it aligns better with Chu Danqing's ideas.

Chai Jungui understood Ruan Yingmei's meaning; he realized he was overthinking things.

In fact, he didn't think that much about it. Chu Danqing did come with ulterior motives at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, this situation arose by a series of unforeseen events.

'Her luck is amazing, her charm is amazing, and her initial favorability is amazing too.'

'Then Yang Qianyuan is even more awesome,' Chu Danqing thought to herself.

"It's my fault for dragging my elder brother down." Chai Jungui sighed. No wonder he was so successful; it turned out he had the help of a star lord from the upper realm who should have been the true emperor.

Even if this star deity isn't exactly upright, people are still willing to risk their lives to accompany him.

"What's this talk about being a burden or not? I chose this path, and I have to see it through to the end," Chu Danqing replied, then added, "So you have to live up to expectations."

"Everyone's lives are hanging on your shoulders."

Upon hearing this, Chai Jungui immediately said, "Brother, don't worry. Even if he is the chosen one, I am not afraid to put up a fight."

Since he was already under the king's command, he had no choice but to do whatever he wanted from then on.

He couldn't simply dodge it; he had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep fighting.

"Brother, what should we do next?" Chai Jungui thought that Chu Danqing, the Star Lord of Mars, would definitely have a solution, so it was best not to ask him anything.

Chu Danqing said, "Let's go to Shanzhou first and then talk about it."

Let's try it first. If that doesn't work, we'll have to ask a professional to figure out how to rebel.

Anyway, in this messed-up world, cannibalism goes beyond the literal meaning.

"Does Brother mean that my chance to turn things around lies in Shanzhou?" Chai Jungui imagined a series of things, thinking that Chu Danqing was not saying it because he could not reveal the secrets of heaven.

In reality, Chu Danqing was unaware of this.

He relies on friends and allies when he's out and about, so it's not unreasonable to have a mascot like him offer advice.

Chu Danqing is indeed capable, but his expertise is not relevant, so he cannot consider everything comprehensively.

Back in the trial world of Kumashigaoka, he was a powerful minister who held immense influence.

"More or less," Chu Danqing replied vaguely.

It doesn't matter if there's no chance to turn things around; he can create one.

For example, using force.

"I see, thank you for your consideration, elder brother." Chai Jungui was deeply moved; this was truly a good elder brother.

However, another problem arose: "Then we should hurry over. Doesn't our elder brother know how to ride the clouds? We don't want to jeopardize his plans."

“Young master, this matter must not be rushed.” Niu Gui poked his head out and said, “After listening to what Miss Ruan said, I understand Lord Xingjun’s plan.”

"Our journey to Shanzhou is just the end goal; along the way, we still need to recruit and win over a group of civil and military officials as our support."

"Otherwise, even if you and I succeed, we will still be powerless to accomplish it."

"And we must not let Lord Xingjun's painstaking efforts go to waste."

Chu Danqing wanted to deny it, saying, "Don't make things up. He didn't ride the clouds simply because Chai Jungui was afraid of dying, not because he actually had any such plans."
The recruitment was a spur-of-the-moment idea because it could enhance one's luck; it wasn't a well-thought-out plan at all.

But with morale soaring, he couldn't afford to disrupt it, so he simply uttered a faint "hmm".

"Brother, you truly are a Star Lord descended to the mortal realm. I almost ruined everything." Chai Jungui couldn't help but feel a deep sense of respect.

Chu Danqing felt increasingly uncertain. If he continued to overthink things, he would have no choice but to ask Yang Qianyuan for help.

What else can he do? He has some skills, but that's all he has.

When facing those genuine Star Lords, he, being a summoner, would definitely have to summon allies instead of going himself.

"Let's get going first, we can talk about these things later." Chu Danqing immediately changed the subject.

He felt that he had found another characteristic of the spirit of the Fire Star Lord.

A great villain may appear loyal.

However, when applied to Chai Jungui, who was appointed as a king rather than the true Son of Heaven, it had the opposite effect.

After all, Mars is encroaching on Taiwei, and Chai Jungui is not the true Son of Heaven, the Ziwei star.

It can only be said that there are wrong uses.

After tidying up, the group left the Five Lords Temple and continued their journey towards Shanzhou. They encountered a group of bandits on the way, but were quickly dealt with.

Da Bao didn't make a move; it was Chai Jungui and Ruan Yingmei who took action.

They said it was for real combat, because in the future, when they were to fight the true emperor, their swordsmanship would definitely need to be proficient.

They then learned from these bandits about a nearby village.

They decided to stay at the manor for the night.

The main advantage is the suitable distance; by the time they reach it on foot, it will be almost dark.

"Brother, do you think we might run into Zhao Yuanlang or someone who clashes with him again in Mengjia Village?" Chai Jungui asked.

"Probably, after all, none of us are really on good terms with him." Chu Danqing thought it was quite possible, since this wasn't the first time they'd encountered this situation.

After encountering it many times, Chu Danqing was no longer surprised.

We've gotten used to it.

After arriving at Meng Family Manor, the group sought out the manor lord and discussed finding lodging.

However, the head of the Meng family looked worried and tired.

"Gentlemen, it seems this matter is not going to work out," said the Meng family patriarch helplessly.

"What? Your estate has been disturbed by those red-faced men too?" Chai Jungui said speechlessly.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Meng family was also taken aback: "What red-faced man? Never heard of him."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's good that I didn't meet Zhao Yuanlang, my true love; otherwise, a fight would have been a real problem.

It's a pity that Zhao Yuanlang didn't come, and he didn't cause any trouble.

"Since no one came to cause trouble, why can't we find lodging?" Chu Danqing asked. "We're not eating and staying for free; we're being paid."

If the town weren't so far away, they certainly wouldn't have come to this village; they would have gone to find an inn instead.

“Of course I know,” said the head of the Meng family estate. “If I had no other choice, why would I turn away money that is offered to me?”

"But you all don't know this, a monster came to our village half a month ago."

"That monster dwells in the ancestral hall during the day, and comes out to cause trouble at night."

"Although no one was killed, it still caused widespread panic."

"We don't know when this monster will cause any harm, so please leave the manor as soon as possible," said the head of the Meng family manor.

He had also considered this. The demon hadn't killed anyone, but he didn't dare gamble on whether it hadn't killed the people of Mengjia Village or not killed everyone.

If it's the former, what if these people die on their estate and they face legal trouble?
If it were just an ordinary commoner with average clothes and appearance, the head of the Meng family estate wouldn't be afraid.

However, the clothes and daily necessities of these people were not those of ordinary people; they were definitely from wealthy gentry families, or even official families.

If I die here, my family will definitely come looking for me.

How could his small estate possibly bear such a burden?

Why invite trouble over such a small amount of money? It's better to just send them away.

"Don't scare us like this." Chai Jungui hadn't expected such a reason.

"Why are you trying to scare me? Let's leave the manor quickly before it gets completely dark," the head of the Meng family said irritably.

Seeing his attitude, Chu Danqing said instead, "I will get rid of this monster for you."

"We don't need any reward from you, just make sure we're settled for tonight."

As he spoke, Da Bao tacitly entered his killing form, unleashing a terrifying bloodthirsty power.

The head of the Meng family had never seen such a scene before and was immediately terrified.

Then, coming to his senses, he immediately said, "Thank you all, heroes."

He had tried to hire people—martial arts masters in the town, monks and Taoists in temples—but none of them could subdue the demon. Instead, they were beaten badly and barely escaped with their lives.

As for reporting it to the authorities, that was done as well.

The money was spent, and when the head constable and his men heard that there was a demon, and also found out that even martial arts masters, monks and Taoists were no match for it, they just pushed it away.

And then nothing more was said.

Now, many people from Mengjiazhuang have left.

If this continues, this manor will inevitably decline sooner or later.

"Where is that monster now?" Chu Danqing asked.

The head of the Meng family estate hurriedly said, "They should be inside the ancestral hall. I estimate they'll come out and cause trouble in about fifteen minutes."

"Since the hero has such abilities, don't confront it head-on when it's fierce at night. It's better to wait until it rests during the day before making a move."

He also gave a suggestion.

Chu Danqing said, "We're leaving early tomorrow morning, so we don't have time to think about these things."

"After finishing off this monster tonight, I can finally get a good night's sleep."

"So it won't bother me in the middle of the night."

Chu Danqing couldn't wait until tomorrow; it would be too much of a waste of time.

"Lead the way," Chu Danqing said again.

Seeing Chu Danqing's words, the head of the Meng family manor offered several more words of earnest advice.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chu Danqing to change her mind, he could only lead Chu Danqing and the others to the ancestral hall with a bitter face.
