A storm vanished in an instant.
Seeing this, the onlookers were all impressed by the grandeur of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace and secretly admired Su Qingyuan for her fairness, kindness, and protection of the weak.
Chen Ping, at the center of the storm, handled the situation with unparalleled smoothness.
The moment Su Qingyuan spoke, he immediately ran up the steps and quickly ran behind her, sticking close to her back.
With his head slightly lowered and shoulders tense, he looked like a weak, trembling, and frightened man, firmly establishing the persona of a “terrified, honest rogue cultivator.”
His obedient yet timid appearance made everyone laugh; they couldn’t see a trace of ferocity or cunning in him.
Seeing his timid appearance, Su Qingyuan’s anger dissipated, and her tone softened as she said gently, “Young friend, there’s no need to be afraid. With me here, they won’t dare to make things difficult for you anymore.”
Chen Ping immediately looked up, his eyes showing a perfect blend of gratitude and fear, his gaze sincere and innocent. He slightly cupped his hands, his voice still trembling slightly.
“Thank you so much, Miss! I really thought I was going to die” Chen Ping said in a panic.
Su Qingyuan looked at his low cultivation level, simple clothes, and helpless appearance, and felt a pang of sympathy. She asked softly, “You are a lowly rogue cultivator who is content to seek the Dao. Why did you become enemies with the Dry Bone Sect?”
They are known for their vindictiveness; they wouldn’t have bothered to publicly attack you unless you provoked them.
The opportunity has arrived.
Chen Ping’s heart stirred, and he immediately prepared his words. His face instantly filled with grievance, and his voice choked with emotion as he told the story he had made up. Every word was pitiful, and every sentence was heartbreaking.
“Replying to Miss, this junior has truly never actively provoked any trouble.”
The other day, while running errands on South Street, I accidentally brushed against the robe of a disciple of the Dry Bone Sect. It was just a tiny, insignificant stain, but I immediately apologized and promised to compensate him with spirit stones.
“But not only did they refuse to accept the apology, they also bullied the junior in public. Just because the junior had low cultivation and no sect, they wanted to destroy the junior’s foundation and seize the junior’s meager wealth.”
In a moment of desperation, I uttered a few words of fairness, which they took to heart and relentlessly pursued and attacked me.
“Today, the Dao Ruins have opened. I only came to try my luck and seek a way to survive in cultivation. I never expected that they would still not let me go. They surrounded me in public and tried to kill me I am a lonely and helpless cultivator with no one to rely on. It is really too difficult for me.”
His words were sincere and heartfelt, filled with deep grievance, and his eyes even reddened slightly.
He vividly portrayed the arrogant and domineering nature of the Dry Bone Sect, while depicting himself as a pitiful, innocent, and weak rogue cultivator who suffered endless bullying.
The onlookers nodded in agreement, their contempt for the Dry Bone Sect’s ways growing ever stronger.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingyuan frowned slightly, completely convinced that this was a blatant case of the strong bullying the weak.
She looked at Chen Ping, who was hiding behind her, obedient and timid, and said in a gentle tone with a hint of protection: “I see, you don’t need to worry.”
“During the opening of the Dao Ruins, various forces are mixed together and there are constant disputes. With your low cultivation level and no one to protect you, you are very likely to become a victim of other people’s disputes.”
“You shall stay behind me for now and do not wander off. With my Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace here, ordinary forces will no longer dare to bully you at will.”
Chen Ping was overjoyed and almost couldn’t help but grin out loud on the spot.
It’s safe!
He was just worried about not having a chance to get close to the core figures of the Myriad Laws Palace and not having a way to infiltrate the core circle of the Dao Ruins. Unexpectedly, a pillow was delivered to his sleepy head!
By attaching himself to this powerful patron, he could not only safely enter the Dao Ruins, but also openly and legitimately benefit from the Heavenly Dao deductions and Origin Enlightenment of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace, secretly stealing their core opportunities.
On the surface, Chen Ping still looked flattered and grateful, and quickly bowed, his posture extremely obedient: “Thank you for your protection, Miss! This junior will definitely behave himself and never run away, and will never cause Miss any trouble!”
Looking at this honest, timid, and obedient appearance, no one would have guessed that this weak rogue cultivator who is obediently clinging to a powerful figure is actually a heaven-defying cultivator who personally overturned the order of the Twenty-Six Heavens, instantly killed a veteran immortal lord, and possesses the origin of chaos.
What no one knew was that this seemingly accidental rescue of the weak was, from beginning to end, Chen Ping’s most precise and prudent entry into the game.
Su Qingyuan nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and quietly looked at the entrance to the chaotic Dao Ruins in the distance, waiting for the ancient secret realm to open.
Two elders from the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace stood on either side, their auras calm and protective.
Chen Ping obediently shrank to the very back of the line, continuing to play the role of a nobody, keeping his head down and concealing the cunning glint that flashed in his eyes.
He remembered the grudge against the Dry Bone Sect.
He set his sights on the Daoist opportunities of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace.
He was determined to obtain the true nature of the Heavenly Dao and the method to break the poisonous remnants of order in the Primordial Dao Ruins.
