As the de facto head of the Dan Ding Division, Dan Shu was not hard to find. Soon, Wei Yi found her outside a pavilion.
At this moment, she was distributing food to the children playing nearby with a gentle smile.
These children had a very good relationship with Dan Shu and were quite familiar with each other, so they were not wary at all.
Wei Yi glanced at them; they were just ordinary snacks, without any added ingredients.
Clearly, despite their differing philosophies, Dan Shu has not gone so far as to harm a child.
Of course, it might also be because doing so would be too conspicuous and easily noticed by others.
"You seem to be paying attention to me. Is there something you need from me?"
After the child beside her left, Dan Shu raised her head and spoke in a gentle voice.
“You can find this?”
Wei Yi was stunned.
"The price of being blind is that your other senses will be relatively stronger. You paused noticeably after you came to my side."
"Shall we talk in private?"
Wei Yi listened to the other party's reply and said with a smile.
"Alright."
After a moment of silence, Dan Shu nodded and then looked at Wei Yi.
"Sir, you seem to be no ordinary person; you have a very pleasant scent."
"Everyone has said that to me, but I don't really feel it."
Wei Yi shrugged and followed behind the other person.
"Perhaps it's because you don't care, sir. To some people, your scent is like flowers to bees, or rabbits to eagles."
Dan Shu spoke slowly, leading Wei Yi to a small courtyard.
"Sir, it seems you didn't come to me entirely with good intentions. Now, can you explain that?"
As Dan Shu spoke, two figures draped in golden branches blocked Wei Yi's retreat, watching him warily from behind.
"Shall we get straight to the point? I like that, but I don't like having someone point a sword at my head."
Wei Yi turned his head to look at the two figures behind him.
Before Wei Yi could even make a move, the two figures behind him instantly lost their life force and collapsed.
"I'm warning you this time. If you do it again, you'll be the one who falls. You're not qualified to question me, you pawn."
Wei Yi had completely changed his previous refined and easygoing image, becoming arrogant and haughty, and his tone had become unquestionable.
"who are you?"
After a moment of silence, Dan Shu asked.
This time, she spoke much more cautiously; she couldn't see through Wei Yi's methods.
The person before me was so powerful that I was completely powerless to resist.
"Who am I? Let me think..."
Wei Yi extended a finger, rested his chin on his hand, and pondered for a moment: "Five years ago, people called me... Zhong Gu. If you wish, you can call me that too, or, like others, call me Venerable. Now, tell me everything that the Great Lord Huanlong of Annihilation is planning."
"Words are no proof. The Venerable One of the Ancient Ages did not appear in the world for five years. How can you prove that you are him?"
Dan Shu slowly shook his head; clearly, he did not believe Wei Yi's words.
"This is simple."
Wei Yi nodded.
The next moment, he walked up to Dan Shu, gently stroked her eyes with his palm, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Dan Shu's muscles were tense; clearly, he was somewhat nervous, but he dared not move.
However, the next moment, she suddenly sensed a dark shadow flash past her closed eyelids.
No, it should be said that it was the outline of the fingers.
"open one's eyes."
Wei Yi's calm voice reached her ears; although the volume was low, it was like an irresistible command.
Dan Shu suddenly became excited and then slowly opened his eyes.
The next moment, the endless darkness that had shrouded him for decades was dispelled by a ray of light.
When that warm and soft light gently brushed across his eyes, she confirmed for the first time that the deeds of Zhong Gu were not legends, but real miracles.
For a long time, her world was an endless darkness, and every touch and every listening was her way of communicating with her surroundings.
But now, everything is different.
She opened her eyes, taking in everything around her, as if stepping into a colorful dream.
She had dreamt countless times what the world would be like if she had eyes, but no matter how wonderful the dream was, it was nothing compared to what she saw now.
Light was no longer an abstract concept beyond her reach; she could see the brown stool beside her and the soft light emanating from the ceiling.
When she first experienced the light, she seemed a little uncomfortable, but then the outlines of the surrounding scenery became clearer in her eyes.
Potted plants on the balcony, mosquitoes swarming around the lights.
Like a newborn baby, she observed her surroundings.
Tears blurred her vision involuntarily; this was the first time she had shed tears since the devastating loss of her dearest friend.
She looked at Wei Yi in front of her with excitement, without any more doubts.
"Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I was unaware of your true identity and acted rashly in a moment of anger."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what Huanlong's plan is."
Wei Yi didn't want to hear her thanks, nor did he want to let her be moved any longer. Instead, he asked somewhat impatiently.
Since there was an easy way to obtain information, Wei Yi was naturally not foolish enough to slowly approach the other party, then gradually infiltrate the lower levels of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings, and finally stage a double agent drama.
That would be a huge waste of time and utterly brainless.
He doesn't have that much time to play stealth games.
"Yes..."
After Wei Yi spoke, Dan Shu revealed all the information he knew without holding anything back.
“Your Excellency, this is all I know.”
Most of the information was the same as what Wei Yi knew in the previous storyline, but there were still some differences.
That was in Dan Shu's intelligence report, Huan Long had mentioned that they should have the Medicine King's Secret Technique create a commotion to buy time, and what they were supposed to do was to take advantage of the fact that all the main forces of the Immortal Ship were dealing with her to invade the Nether Prison and release Hu Lei.
If she could rescue Hu Lei, her plan would be half successful.
However, is Huanlong's target Hulei?
Wei Yi frowned, unable to understand. Was Hu Lei strong? Yes.
But what about a supreme ruler who is capable of annihilation?
The answer is, it's optional.
The other party was the monarch of the Buli people, the great benefactor of the wolf head, but in the eyes of the Great Lord of Extinction, Hu Lei was no different from a wolf cub, the only advantage of which was that this beast was more vicious in its bite.
If that were all, Hu Lei wouldn't deserve Huan Long's attention. There must be some other qualities in him, qualities that Huan Long is unaware of.
Hu Lei was an unexpected turn of events. If only Fei Xiao had come this time, Huan Long's scheme might have actually succeeded, although the probability was not high, it was still a possibility.
However, Huanlong probably never imagined that he would also come to Luofu with Feixiao.
There are many things that can be done within this.
"Let me ask you another question: why did you join the Medicine King's secret teachings and frame so many Cloud Riders to induce demonic influence?"
Based on the information obtained from Dan Shu, Wei Yi knew that he still had time, so he asked.
"It's just letting them embrace their true selves, how can it be considered framing?"
Dan Shu shook his head: "The 'bastards' that the people of the Immortal Boat talk about are just the people of the Abundance who have different ideas from their own. In fact, the people of the Immortal Boat are no different from other people of the Abundance. It's just that the people of the Immortal Boat have restrained their nature, while the 'bastards' they talk about are just following the most fundamental impulses deep in their bloodline and following their true selves."
As he spoke, Dan Shu looked at Wei Yi with some doubt: "Your Excellency is a worthy envoy, you should be able to understand these things, so why do you still ask me?"
"I just wanted to know your thoughts. However, I understand now. In your view, inducing others' demonic nature is not harming them, but saving them and guiding them back to their true nature."
"Yes."
Dan Shu nodded.
Even if others are unwilling to do so?
"They are simply bound by their long-standing morality and ideology. Only after embracing their true selves will they realize how absurd the Demon Bow's ideology is."
"understood."
Wei Yi nodded: "Another self-indulgent guy."
Wei Yi felt sorry for Dan Shu's background, but that was not a reason for him to forgive her.
Even with his own intervention, Luo Fu must have suffered considerable losses this time.
"Venerable One, why is this?"
Upon hearing the odd tone in Wei Yi's voice, Dan Shu was immediately taken aback.
After the initial euphoria of gaining light subsided, Dan Shu realized something he had been overlooking all along.
Wei Yi, why did you ask so many questions?
If the other party is cooperating with Huanlong, then they should know more than I do.
If the other party is not cooperating with Huanlong, based on the information I have, the other party should have a grudge against Xianzhou and would not help Xianzhou.
However, Wei Yi's current attitude seems somewhat ambiguous.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm actually married. My wife's name is Feixiao. Don't know her? No problem, she also has another name, Tianji General."
Seemingly noticing Dan Shu's confusion, Wei Yi said with a smile.
