Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

The look of anticipation in Ying Xiu's eyes quickly faded. He sat back on the sofa and asked, "Then what is this turning point you speak of?"

The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld swallowed the grilled sausage in his mouth: "There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests. People only do what benefits them, and Wang is no exception."

"Exposing the relationship between the Underworld and the Ying Clan will not only bring him no benefit, but will also offend us, so he won't do it."

Ying Xiu interlaced his fingers: "If Wang isn't Li Chenqiu, then he's most likely someone from the New World. How could exposing our relationship not benefit the New World?"

"Wang is not from the New World. I've dealt with the New World several times. If Wang were truly from the New World, with Di Shi's temperament, he would definitely be there to protect him. If he really came, he naturally wouldn't be able to hide it from me."

The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld's tone was firm.

"If Wang isn't from the New World, then why did he save Li Ji?"

"That's not the point. The point is that Wang isn't from the New World, so he won't reveal the things between us."

Ying Xiu nodded in agreement, but the worry in his eyes didn't dissipate: "Although that's what you say, it's unsettling to have a complete stranger holding our weakness, or else…"

He nodded slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld chuckled: "How could someone with a soul strength higher than mine not have some life-saving methods? If we fail, we'll completely offend him.

"Right now, there are only two paths in front of us. Either give Wang some benefits to keep this secret, or pull him onto our ship and turn him into a teammate bound together by interests. I prefer the latter."

After pondering for a moment, Ying Xiu slowly said: "Emperor, if we want to win him over, this public purge is a good opportunity. Do you want to secretly help Wang?"

The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld flatly rejected: "There's no need. Before confirming the relationship, taking action to help at the risk of exposing our identity will only make us passive and lose the initiative at the negotiating table. It's not worth the loss.

Ying Xiu paused, picked up the phone on the table, and held it to his ear: "Hello, what's wrong?"

After a few seconds, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is the source of the information reliable?"

Silence for a long time.

"Okay, I understand. You continue to pay attention to this matter. If you find Wang's whereabouts, tell me in time… Hmm, you make your own decisions, whatever is convenient. Hang up."

Ying Xiu hung up the phone and said in a deep voice: "The results are out."

The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld was calm: "Listening to your tone, the An Tong Division should have lost a lot of people. I still underestimated Wang too much…"

To avoid the Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld's social death on the spot, Ying Xiu hurriedly interjected: "Li Ji was purged by the Zhou Clan's old man, while Wang escaped under the cover of a Twelfth Forbidden Awakened."

"Ah?" The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld's mouth opened slightly: "Wang failed?"

"Yes." Ying Xiu nodded honestly.

"That shouldn't be. Since Wang planned to rescue Li Ji, he must have had a way to deal with that old guy. How could he fail?"

Ying Xiu guessed: "Could it be that Li Ji didn't want to be saved and actively sought death?"

"Who knows…"

The Celestial Emperor of the Northern Underworld crossed his legs, turned his head to look at the blue sky, his eyebrows becoming more and more profound, not knowing what he was thinking.

…

The tungsten lamp flickered, and a lot of wall skin had fallen off the ceiling. The temperature here was 18 degrees Celsius, neither hot nor cold, exactly the same as last time.

Li Chenqiu lay on the hard wooden board, expressionless, staring blankly at the ceiling, without saying a word.

After being rescued by Gui Hai earlier, he passed out after a few minutes. When he woke up again, he came to this small room, this room where he could never leave, could not be injured and bleed, and could not use his abilities.

"Li Chenqiu, can you stop pretending to be dead? If we're talking about feeling uncomfortable, I'm more uncomfortable than you right now. I'm not even emo, what are you emo-ing about!" Chen Qianfan's voice came from outside the room.

"Didn't you say we can't shout in here?" Li Chenqiu slowly got up, holding the edge of the bed.

Chen Qianfan retorted: "Am I shouting? Am I shouting!"

"You're not."

Li Chenqiu raised his hand and rubbed his brow: "Chen Qianfan, don't you like to cause trouble? Go out and cause trouble! Can you let me be alone for a while?"

Hearing this, Chen Qianfan's emotions immediately became agitated: "Guess why I'm emo. I'm emo because I can't get out! If you didn't get so angry, would I not be able to get out?"

Li Chenqiu asked: "What does you not being able to get out have to do with me being angry?"

Chen Qianfan said unhappily: "I can't be bothered to explain to you!"

"I don't really want to listen either." Li Chenqiu replied indifferently.

Both of them stopped talking, and a long silence fell over the place.

I don't know how long it took.

"Li Chenqiu, can I ask you a question?" Chen Qianfan took the lead in breaking the silence.

Li Chenqiu, who was leaning against the corner of the room, raised his eyes slightly and replied coldly: "No."

"You! You're idle anyway, can't you just answer one question?" Chen Qianfan's tone was not so aggressive.

"You haven't answered my questions, why should I answer yours?"

"Don't you want me to help you again? Just like before, if I hadn't taken action, you would have already fallen into the hands of the An Tong Division."

Hearing this, the light gradually returned to Li Chenqiu's scattered and dull eyes, and he asked uncertainly: "If I answer your question, will you help me in the future?"

Chen Qianfan revealed a triumphant smile: "It depends on your answer."

Li Chenqiu hesitated for a while, and then agreed: "Say it."

This guy Chen Qianfan is a time bomb. If he can stabilize the other party, or even make the other party his own help, he is still very interested.

"My question is very simple, which things are very important to you?" There was a hint of imperceptible urgency in Chen Qianfan's voice.

"Very important things?"

Although Li Chenqiu was puzzled, he still honestly replied: "Right now, the most important thing to me is… to let the Shadow Acacia Tree leave the Second An Tong Division openly and clear its name…"

"Wait a minute, the importance I'm talking about is not this level of importance. I'm talking about very important things, like… like you rescuing Li Ji, that level of importance, understand?"
