"What kind of fallacy is that?" Li Shunyu did not know whether to laugh or cry, but his expression quickly turned serious. "Do you know why the Old Man asked you to eavesdrop?"
"Maybe, it's because I'm handsome?" Tang Ning pretended to think seriously, then said.
Li Shunyu's old face could not help but twitch, interrupting his narcissism. "The Old Man has something to ask you, you better answer honestly."
"Ask away, Fellow Daoist Li," Tangning said with a smile.
"The Old Man's whereabouts have always been secretive, only a few people in the Celestial Court know about the Old Man's whereabouts. This time, the Old Man was ambushed and captured by the people of the Pure Spirit Kingdom, was it you who tipped them off? "Li Shunyu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Why do you think it was me, Friend Li?" Tang Ning's expression was solemn.
"Among the higher-ups of the Celestial Court, you are in the pro-war faction, while the Old Man is in the pro-peace faction. Our views are in conflict. If the Old Man was really captured and brought to the Wilderness God's main planet, then the Celestial Court will definitely take action, no matter how you look at it, this is beneficial to your ambitions. "Li Shunyu analyzed.
"I see, Friend Li is judging from the perspective of the beneficiary."
Tang Ning nodded, the corner of his mouth curled up into a faint smile. "But now that you're telling me this, it means that you've eliminated me as a suspect, right?"
"Hmph, you should thank that kid. Originally, the Old Man would be the first to suspect you, but that kid saved the Old Man, and you're his referral, this doesn't make sense, "Li Shunyu said.
"That kid is very unexpected, he grows very fast." Tang Ning's face showed pride.
"The Pure Spirit Kingdom's influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the commotion they're making is getting bigger and bigger. Right now, the Old Man isn't sure if there are any spies among the higher-ups of the Celestial Court, so he needs your help," Li Shunyu said seriously.
"Looks like I'm the only person Friend Li trusts now. I'm really honored. I just don't know what benefits I can get after I find the spy for you? "Tang Ning asked expectantly.
"Hmph, as a Heavenly General of the Celestial Court, it's your duty to find the spy. How dare you bargain with the Old Man?" Li Shunyu was furious.
"Friend Li, you don't have to be angry. I just want to make sure that you are really determined," Tang Ning explained with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Li Shunyu feigned ignorance.
"This time, Friend Li was captured by the Pure Spirit Kingdom and luckily escaped. According to your usual style, you shouldn't be involved in this war, but why did you gather all the people you can in the shortest time possible and show up personally?"
"If the Old Man doesn't show up, you're dead, and the Inner Ape Clan will be greatly weakened. Moreover, that kid saved the Old Man's life. If the Old Man doesn't save him, he'll feel guilty, "Li Shunyu explained, his eyes flashing.
"Hehe, since when did Friend Li become someone who can't distinguish between public and private matters?" Tang Ning said sarcastically. "Friend Li has always believed that this is a trap set up by the Pure Spirit Kingdom. For the sake of the stability of the Celestial Court, even if Gu Chen is your savior, even if the people of the Inner Ape Clan and I can't return, you should still choose to stand by and watch."
"But the actual situation is that you know this is a trap, but you still got involved. There's only one real reason. You can't stand it either, right?"
Li Shunyu listened in silence.
"After the collapse of the Primordial Immortal World, the Celestial Emperor passed away, and the Celestial Emperors went missing. The Divine Realm took advantage of the decline of the Celestial World to launch a massacre against the major powers of the Celestial World, which led to the chaos of the Celestial World. "
"In that chaos, the Man Celestial General died in battle, the Huang Celestial General was seriously injured, and many of Friend Li's friends and family were gone. And after that chaos ended, the Divine Realm didn't stop the persecution of the original Celestial World powers. In the past million years, how many Celestial World powers have been destroyed? "
"As a survivor of that era, Friend Li knows the strength of the Divine Realm, so he chose to let the Celestial Court hide. But suffering isn't cowardice, it's waiting for the right time. I believe Friend Li can't stand it anymore, right? "
Tang Ning's words touched on Li Shunyu's heart, causing his expression to change. Finally, he sighed heavily, and his eyes turned red.
"The Old Man can no longer sit by and watch the former Celestial World powers be destroyed one by one. As the son of the Celestial Emperor, how can the Old Man not want to take revenge?"
"With Friend Li's words, I can rest assured." Tang Ning's expression also became a little gloomy, as if he was recalling those sad memories of the past.
"When we catch the spy and completely clean up the Celestial Court, the Old Man will not drag out an ignoble existence anymore!" Li Shunyu said resolutely.
"If you want to catch the spy, I have a way." The corner of Tang Ning's mouth curled up.
"What way?" Li Shunyu's eyes lit up.
"Actually, there's no need to waste time to catch him. We just need to stay by Gu Chen's side, and he will give himself away sooner or later."
"Gu Chen? What does this have to do with Gu Chen? "Li Shunyu was shocked.
"This time, Gu Chen's Major Heavenly Tribulation in the Wilderness God's main star triggered the appearance of the Dao Decaying Gate. The news will soon spread to all the major star regions. Whether he wants it or not, the successor of the Tyrant Clan has already become famous in all the major star regions. "
"And the Jingling Taoist has a complicated relationship with Gu Chen. After knowing that Gu Chen has appeared, he will definitely find a way to find him. Now that Gu Chen is in the Celestial Court, the fastest way to find him is through a spy."
Tang Ning sneered.
"Isn't this too dangerous? The destruction of the Tyrant Clan was very regrettable. The Old Man doesn't want anything to happen to the last successor of the Tyrant Clan. "Li Shunyu frowned. He did not like Tang Ning's scheme.
"This is the fastest way. As long as we are careful and protect him in secret, there won't be too many accidents."
"Have you told Gu Chen about this?"
"Of course not. That kid is still too inexperienced and will easily expose himself. Moreover, he still needs to train. If he knows that we are secretly protecting him, he won't be able to improve quickly without the pressure from the enemy, "Tang Ning answered straightforwardly.
Li Shunyu was speechless. Sometimes, he really did not understand whether Tang Ning valued Gu Chen or wanted to kill him.
"I think you will be beaten up by that kid one day," Li Shunyu said after a long time.
…
Gu Chen left the hall and temporarily put aside the matter of the Man with a Bamboo Hat. He sorted out his emotions and went to the two Immortal Venerables of the Mental Ape Clan.
He expressed his determination to keep the white ape by his side and said that he was willing to go to the Ancestral Planet of the Mental Ape Clan for this.
The two Immortal Venerables were originally troubled by the Little Ancestor's refusal to go back to the Ancestral Planet. When they heard Gu Chen's reply, they were delighted.
In their opinion, Gu Chen's idea was almost impossible to achieve. However, if he went to the Ancestral Planet, the Little Ancestor would naturally go back with him!
Therefore, they did not refuse and agreed to Gu Chen's request on the spot.
