BXBX NOVEL Chapter 106 Plan Ruined
As Wang Chen witnessed Su Ling going all out on Elder Qing with the sword he gave her, he couldn\'t help but feel a twisted sense of satisfaction. His plan to manipulate Su Ling was working like a charm. Back when Elder Qing was beating Su Ling and spilling the beans about her mother, Wang Chen had been there too, playing the sneaky spy using the Celestial Thief Technique. He had eavesdropped on their conversation, debating whether to swoop in and save the day. However, he realized that intervening would only result in a temporary increase in Su Ling\'s favor towards him. Understanding the limited benefit, he decided to bide his time and wait for an opportunity where he could extract the most advantage from the situation.
And soon, an opportunity presented itself when Elder Qing attempted to rape Su Ling. Witnessing the despair in Su Ling\'s eyes, devoid of hope, Wang Chen seized the moment and swiftly intervened, becoming her beacon of light in the darkness. The rescue unfolded smoothly, but Wang Chen understood that this single act wasn\'t enough to earn blind trust from Su Ling. He had to prove himself, show her that he\'d always be there to protect her, even if it meant risking his own life.
In the next phase of Wang Chen\'s plan, he deliberately chose to endure Elder Qing\'s attacks instead of swiftly ending the fight with his Thunderbolt Blade. There were two specific reasons behind this decision. Firstly, Wang Chen had honed his skills in Stone Body Reflecting Arts, allowing him to absorb and redirect Elder Qing\'s power without sustaining severe damage. By utilizing Elder Qing\'s own force, Wang Chen intended to strengthen his body further.
The second reason was to display his unwavering resolve and unwavering dedication to Su Ling. By allowing himself to be beaten by Elder Qing, Wang Chen aimed to show Su Ling that he was willing to endure any hardship for her sake. It was a powerful demonstration of his determination and unyielding struggle against Elder Qing, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
In the final stage of his plan, Wang Chen handed his sword to Su Ling, allowing her to seek vengeance for her mother. He knew that this act would touch the deepest and most vulnerable part of her heart, exploiting her emotional weakness. By showing her that he cared for her well-being and respected her ideals, Wang Chen aimed to create a space within her heart, a space where loyalty and trust towards him could grow.
….
Wang Chen\'s master plan seemed flawless, but just as he thought everything was going according to his calculations, an unexpected hurdle emerged. Su Ling rushed towards him, her face smeared with the blood of Elder Qing, bearing the marks of the torment she had unleashed upon him.
With a worried expression, Su Ling stood before Wang Chen, extending a green jade pendant to him. The jade glowed with an otherworldly hue, its significance known only to those who held it.
Taking the pendant into his hands, Wang Chen felt its cool surface against his skin. It was evident that the jade contained a hidden message, an urgent communication that demanded his attention.
As Wang Chen\'s eyes scanned the message, his gaze shifted towards Su Ling, who stood before him, trembling with unease. Her voice quivered as she managed to utter, "W-W-We have to... save him…"
Wang Chen gently placed a finger over his lips, signaling for Su Ling to remain quiet. With a calm demeanor, he responded, "I will find a solution for it. But for now, you should rest."
Su Ling\'s expression wavered, torn between her desire to take immediate action and the wisdom of heeding Wang Chen\'s advice. Eventually, she reluctantly nodded in agreement, her trust in him outweighing her impatience.
Wang Chen\'s mind raced as he absorbed the message engraved on the green jade. Their plan to eliminate the Elder Qing and escape had been thwarted by the unexpected revelation. The message in the green jade was: If you can\'t find Su Ling and that Wang Chen guy then come back as we had already laid a trap for their third party member Liang Wei by telling that we captured both of them so he would come back to the city.
The message inscribed on the green jade left no room for doubt. Their enemies had devised a cunning plan to ensnare Liang Wei, exploiting Wang Chen and Su Ling as bait. Should news reach Liang Wei of their supposed disappearance, it would serve as a call for him to return to the city, believing his comrades to be held captive. The message\'s intent was clear, and Wang Chen understood the dangerous game they were being drawn into, where every move could be a step closer to a treacherous trap.
Wang Chen\'s mind raced, contemplating their next move in this treacherous situation. Should they risk falling into the enemy\'s trap, potentially endangering Liang Wei and themselves? Or should they devise a counterplan to outsmart their cunning adversaries?
The weight of responsibility rested on Wang Chen\'s shoulders as he deliberated their options. The choices they made could shape their future and determine the fate of their alliance. It was a delicate balance between trust and caution, knowing that a single misstep could lead to their downfall.
And Wang Chen was certain that Liang Wei had already made his way to Moon Jade City and was likely searching for them. How did he know? Well, it was simple. Liang Wei, being a righteous protagonist, wouldn\'t abandon his friend under any circumstances.
However, the real problem lay in the fact that Su Ling was the one who received the message. Wang Chen realized that he had made a mistake earlier by not searching Elder Qing\'s body before handing him over to Su Ling for her revenge. If he had thoroughly searched him, he would have discovered the jade message and likely destroyed it, preventing Su Ling from learning about its contents.
Now that Su Ling is aware of the message, her concern for Liang Wei\'s safety has intensified. After all, he had been their trusted ally, helping them in their escape and standing by their side during difficult times.
Wang Chen, on the other hand, finds himself in a dilemma. While he wishes to escape with Su Ling and ensure their own safety, he realizes that all the effort he had put into his plan to gain Su Ling\'s loyalty would be in vain. If only this message had reached them later, Wang Chen could have managed the situation by claiming that Liang Wei had either perished or escaped from their captors. After all, Su Ling\'s loyalty to Wang Chen has not yet reached the level where she would willingly sacrifice herself for his ideals.
He wasn\'t a protagonist who could gain loyal allies with just one encounter, where they would blindly trust him because fate or some divine intervention said so.
He had to earn their trust and loyalty through his own actions and words. Human nature is far from simple, and emotions, especially when it comes to women, can be as complex as a labyrinth. One moment they may despise you, and the next they\'re head over heels in love. Understanding the intricacies of their hearts and minds is no easy task.
Now Wang Chen had to handle Su Ling, who seemed like an easy target to manipulate. But here\'s the thing with these types of people: once they sniff out your true intentions, they start doubting you. However, if you manage to earn their complete loyalty, they couldn\'t care less about your motives. They would overlook your motives and wholeheartedly support your endeavors, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives for his ideals.
The situation Wang Chen found himself in was like standing at a crossroads with two doors. Behind the right door lay the opportunity to gain Su Ling\'s unwavering trust, but it came with its fair share of risks and dangers. On the other hand, the left door promised a safe path, but at the cost of losing Su Ling\'s loyalty.
It was decision time for Wang Chen. He had to think hard about the pros and cons, weighing the potential rewards against the possible fallout. This choice would have a big impact on their future, so he couldn\'t afford to mess it up.
