Chapter 969: Chapter 23 Time Bomb_3

Chen Lingyun did not reply, only to hear Zhang Huaide from across the room continue:

“For the Yin Yang Bureau, fair competition with Lu Country is undoubtedly a guaranteed loss, the only way out is a surprise move, a wager on the nation’s fate. The Orochi plan is one path, the actual body of the Sun True Dullness Sword is another.”

“Neither of these paths is easy to travel,” Yan Yu evaluated.

To nurture a demon beast on the level of the Orochi requires a blood sacrifice of a large number of lives. The fragmented Southern Border can manage this, but Chongying cannot; the existing social order would simply collapse.

As for the Sun True Dullness Sword itself, needless to say. A Divine Sword with spirit communication is not something that ordinary people can control, the only possibility to harness it would be to gain its will’s approval, and there’s absolutely no chance for Onmyoji in this aspect.

Therefore, for Lu Country, whether it’s sending Yan Yu to look for the potentially non-existent Orochi or to search for the Sun True Dullness Sword whose location is still unknown, it’s not as cost-effective as keeping Yan Yu within the country to safeguard its wellbeing, striving to safely increase the number of Golden Core Cultivators.

When signs of a ceremony are detected within Chongying, or when Lu Country’s exploration team in the West Pacific locates the suspected Mysterious Realm where the Sun True Dullness Sword might be, then Yan Yu can be sent over to effortlessly reap the rewards, which is the most cost-effective plan.

This point doesn’t need to be explained by Yan Yu, Zhang Huaide, of course, understands, and says with a smile:

“So, we don’t have to do anything. We stay stable as the main strategy, just waiting for the enemy to defeat themselves.”

Yan Yu also smiled.

As a Reincarnator, saving the originally doomed heroes, revitalizing the disadvantageous situation, has already fulfilled the greatest purpose and goal of a Reincarnator.

As for starting a harem… well, they all fell in love with me, I couldn’t bear to part with them, it’s a personal matter, I never thought about this when I first reincarnated, it’s all been sheer luck.

“Let’s eat the meal,” said Zhang Huaide.

His personality is very direct; these words mean “Do you have anything else you want to ask? If not, I’m going to continue eating.” In other words, if Yan Yu hasn’t finished his side, Zhang Huaide is not in the mood to focus on his meal.

“You eat,” Yan Yu, feeling better, didn’t want to disturb his meal any longer. Turning his head, he saw Tang Xiaolian holding a serving plate, coming to sit beside him.

“How can you eat so much?” She placed her own serving plate on the table, yet her eyes glanced at Yan Yu’s plate, “And it’s all meat.”

“Why do you care so much?” laughed Yan Yu, “As long as I can finish it, it’s not wasted.”

“Don’t you get tired of it?” Tang Xiaolian reached over with her chopsticks, “I’ll trade some vegetables with you.”

She placed a piece of abalone on Yan Yu’s plate and then took a stuffed intestine in exchange.

Yan Yu allowed her to take whatever she wanted with a chuckle. In truth, there are two women by Yan Yu’s side, with whom he usually doesn’t deliberately flirt during conversations.

One is Ye Jun, who is cheerful and magnanimous. When not discussing love, Yan Yu always subconsciously treats her as a brother.

The other is Tang Xiaolian, epitomizing the lively girl-next-door character. Additionally, she likes to crack jokes and is playful, making it hard to harbor improper thoughts when casually chatting and joking with her.

Of course, that’s only in everyday contexts. If she purposefully puts on charms to entice him, then the bland vegetables take on a meatier flavor, and that’s a whole different way of ‘eating.’

Yan Yu is indifferent about this, but Zhang Huaide sitting across the table frowns secretly, beginning to ponder.

He instinctively senses that the psychological distance between Tang Xiaolian and Yan Yu is very close, almost to the point of dropping their defenses around each other.

But this is problematic because Zhang Huaide can already vaguely affirm that Zhou Hongyu also harbors feelings for Yan Yu.

As a member of the Huofeng Team, how can you compete with your team leader for the same man? If you lose, your Dao Heart shatters; if you win, you can’t stay in the team anymore.

Another ticking time bomb…
