"Husband, I've already asked these questions. Susu said she doesn't remember anything," Li Ziqing shook her head, a hint of helplessness in her smile. These were just the most basic questions. Susu had been with her for so many years as her servant; how could she not have asked?
However, Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I know you must have asked, but Susu might not tell you the truth."
"How is that possible? I have her life-bound talisman..." Li Ziqing wanted to prove that Susu had no reason to hide anything from her. But as she was speaking, she heard Susu say, "Susu was refined by Master Wuxiang. Master Wuxiang is also the one who gave Susu to Mistress."
Li Ziqing's eyes widened, and she immediately said angrily, "Good Susu, you dare to lie to me! Didn't you say you don't remember these things? How come you told everything as soon as the male master asked?"
However, Susu, who had always obeyed her, now completely ignored her words, as if she hadn't heard them.
Chen Xiao explained, "Wife, don't waste your effort. This female spirit can't hear anything except my words."
Hearing this, Li Ziqing became even more angry. What did he mean she couldn't hear anything except his words? Did they have something going on?
Then, Chen Xiao continued to explain. It turned out that the blow he had just delivered to Susu's head was called 'Ghost Striking the Back of the Head.' This technique could make someone reveal all their secrets and obey all commands. Chen Xiao had many such clever and unusual skills, but he was usually too lazy to use them.
Li Ziqing understood what was happening after hearing Chen Xiao's words, but she was still fuming. This was because she felt her emotions had been deceived. She had trusted Susu so much...
Chen Xiao had many more questions to ask Susu, so he didn't bother with the sulking Li Ziqing for the time being.
"Susu, let me ask you, are Master Wuxiang and Master Wucan acquainted?"
"Master Wuxiang and Master Wucan are acquainted." Susu gave a positive answer to Chen Xiao's question.
Li Ziqing's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected Chen Xiao to be right. It turned out that the Taoist nun who had given her the female spirit and the old Taoist who had declared her a 'solitary star of misfortune' were indeed acquainted.
"What is their relationship?" Chen Xiao continued to ask.
"They are not two people; they are one person." Susu said, "Master Wuxiang has many identities. Master Wucan is just one of them."
Hearing this answer, Li Ziqing was completely stunned. To be precise, she was a bit bewildered. It was as if she were in a dream; a picture that seemed clear at first glance turned out to be blurry upon closer inspection.
"What other identities does Master Wuxiang have?" 138 Reading Network
"Master Wuxiang is also the abbot of Yunfeng, Venerable Lingzhi, the old Taoist of the Pagoda, Teacher Wang, Mrs. Li, Chef Xu..." Susu listed a large number of Wuxiang's identities, and these identities became increasingly absurd, encompassing everything imaginable. However, these identities of Wuxiang had nothing to do with Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing, so Chen Xiao asked Susu to stop. Otherwise, who knew how long this female spirit would go on.
Chen Xiao also understood why Wuxiang was called Wuxiang. Because he was formless, he could be anyone.
"Do you have any other knowledge about Master Wuxiang?" Chen Xiao asked a new question.
"Master Wuxiang is a wise and mighty person, a noble person, a person who has departed from vulgar interests. He is intelligent and resourceful, embraces the world, is a great hero, for the country and the people..."
"..."
Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing were speechless at the same time. They suspected that all these words Susu spoke had been forcibly instilled by Wuxiang himself. In this regard, Susu was like a computer, or rather, a robot. And Wuxiang was the technician who performed the factory settings for her.
"Besides this nonsense, what else do you know?" Chen Xiao quickly posed a new question, asking Susu to stop praising and glorifying Wuxiang.
"Master Wuxiang comes from the Heavenly Human Sect. Other than that, Susu knows nothing more about Master Wuxiang." Susu said with a blank expression.
"Heavenly Human Sect?" Chen Xiao asked doubtfully, "What kind of organization is that? Is it a hidden sect in the Immortal Hidden Realm?"
"Not so." Susu shook her head. "The Heavenly Human Sect is the Heavenly Human Sect. It is not a hidden sect in the Immortal Hidden Realm, because the Heavenly Human Sect was founded on Earth by Heavenly Beings from the Heavenly Human Realm. All members of the sect come from the Heavenly Human Realm, hence it is called the Heavenly Human Sect."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt like he was going to crack. There were so many people from the Heavenly Human Realm on Earth that they could establish a sect? He had originally thought that the only Heavenly Beings on Earth were the Tin Men!
"Is the Tin Man also in the Heavenly Human Sect?"
"The Heavenly Human Sect was founded by the Tin Man. The Tin Man is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Human Sect." Susu replied.
Chen Xiao roughly grasped some of the connections and continued to press, "Besides Wuxiang and the Tin Man, who else is in the Heavenly Human Sect?"
"Susu does not know." Susu shook her head.
Chen Xiao asked a few more questions, but Susu didn't know any of them. Meanwhile, Li Ziqing had already fallen into a state of confusion. She had no idea what Chen Xiao and Susu were talking about. What Heavenly Human Sect, what Tin Man... what were those things! The conversation between the two was like listening to heavenly scriptures to her.
After Chen Xiao asked several questions without any results, he asked the last question he had in mind: "What is Wuxiang's purpose in keeping you by the Mistress's side?"
"Susu's primary task in staying by Mistress's side is to help Mistress get revenge." Susu said word by word. Over the years, she had indeed done so. Hearing this, Li Ziqing's heart felt a little less uneasy. Her feelings for this female spirit were not entirely misplaced.
However, Susu's next sentence made her hair stand on end, sending a shiver down her spine. "Master Wuxiang's other purpose in leaving Susu by Mistress's side is to monitor Mistress's movements through Susu's life-bound talisman, so that Mistress will not escape Master Wuxiang's control."
"What did you say? Say that again?" Due to extreme anger and excitement, Li Ziqing had forgotten that Susu couldn't hear her. Susu didn't react, and she only then remembered. When she saw no surprise on Chen Xiao's face, she frowned and asked, "You already suspected this?"
"Yes, I had this guess before, but I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't dare to tell you." Chen Xiao nodded, not denying it. Li Ziqing pouted. In the end, she was still the one who was scared.
"Since you guessed this possibility, you must have already thought of a countermeasure, right?" Li Ziqing's beautiful eyes flashed, looking at Chen Xiao with anticipation.
