Zhou Shu had rarely seen Mu Zhixing so serious. He narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while. After a moment of silence, he said, âIâll believe you for now. Even if you donât say it now, Iâll find out sooner or later.â
Mu Zhixing shrugged. âIf you are able to find out, thatâs fine. Anyway, Iâm not the one who said it.â
Mu Zhixing said, âKing Zhou, if youâre really capable, you can ask Wu Gang.â He was doing this on purpose.
Wu Gang had gone crazy. He didnât even know who he was. It would be strange if Zhou Shu could find out anything from him. Zhou Shu looked at Wu Gang, seemingly tempted.
Mu Zhixing was speechless.
In the past, he couldnât tell that Zhou Shu was actually so curious. Did he really plan to ask Wu Gang?
Of course, Zhou Shu wasnât planning to ask Wu Gang. He had asked Wu Gang before, but Wu Gang didnât say anything.
If he asked again, the outcome would probably be the same.
But Zhou Shu didnât necessarily have to ask if he wanted to know something.
He could find out using the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique.
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment but didnât take action in the end.
Wu Gang wasnât an ordinary person. There was still a chance that he would fail to use the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique on him.
Back then, Zhou Shu had used the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique on Ji Lutian. But in the end, he had failed.
He estimated that the chances of him failing to use it on Wu Gang were more than 60%.
Even if he succeeded, a person like Wu Gang was involved in too many things.
It might not be a good thing to dream about him rashly.
He was so crazy. Who knew what he had experienced?
Zhou Shut s injuries had yet to recover, and his strength had yet to recover fully. It was better to be careful.
âKing Zhou, letâs talk about how much I have to pay for you to lend me the Book of Life and Death.â Mu Zhixing interrupted Zhou Shuâs thoughts.
âI donât need to say more about the value of the Book of Life and Death,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âHow about this? I want to repair a divine weapon and still need some forging materials. As long as you help me find all the forging materials, Iâll lend you the Book of Life and Death.â
âKing Zhou, why donât you give me a number? I donât know how much you need.â Mu Zhixing wasnât a fool. He immediately saw through Zhou Shut s trap.
I donât know how you can repair divine weapons. If you tell me that you havenât repaired it even though you already have, will you continue to ask me to help you find forging materials?
The corners of Zhou Shuâs mouth curled up slightly. Mu Zhixing was indeed much smarter than the Dong family.
âYou donât understand forging. Itâs very troublesome to repair a divine weapon. Even I canât calculate how many forging materials I need in advance,â Zhou Shu said. âI can understand that you have reservations, but you should believe me.
I wonât deliberately deceive you.â
Mu Zhixing pursed his lips inwardly. Believe you? Itâs because I believe you that we have to make things clear from the start. Otherwise, ifI really get tricked by you, how can I reason with you?
In terms of acting skills, Mu Zhixing was not weak either. He smiled and said, âThatâs not what I meant. I just want us to know what to do. You have to give me a list of what forging materials you need.â
Mu Zhixing smiled very sincerely.
âNo problem,â Zhou Shu said. âIâll give you a list of the forging materials I need later. Find them according to their category. The more, the better.â Mu Zhixing:
Whatâs the difference? Arenâ t you just asking for as many as possible?
âForget it,â Mu Zhixing said helplessly. âIâll help you, but King Zhou, I hope you wonât play me.â
âDonât worry. Iâve always been fair,â Zhou Shu said with a smile. Seeing Mu Zhixing change his appearance and leave the Dong familyâs headquarters, Cao Yue opened his mouth but hesitated.
Zhou Shu returned to the room and looked at Cao Yue. âDo you want to ask who he is?â
Cao Yue nodded in embarrassment.
âHeâs not a good person,â Zhou Shu said. âWhen you see him in the future, stay away from him, lest you donât even know that youâve been tricked by him.â Cao Yue nodded vigorously. âI understand. Iâll definitely be careful in the future.â
Cao Yue didnât know what kind of person Mu Zhixing was, but Zhou Shu was no different from a god to him. He would remember everything Zhou Shu said.
âUncle, I feel that the power in my body has disappeared. Can I do anything for you now?â Cao Yue said guiltily.
Originally, he had followed Zhou Shu to help him. In the end, after coming to the Dong familyâs headquarters, he had almost lost his life. Zhou Shu had had to save him.
Later, he was of no help at all.
This made him feel extremely guilty.
âThereâs something I need someone I trust to do,â Zhou Shu said with a smile.
He naturally knew what Cao Yue was thinking. He was also carefully protecting a young manâs thoughts.
âIâve instructed the Dong family to help me gather forging materials. Youâre in charge of receiving the forging materials they bring back.â
âMe? But will the Dong family trust me?â Cao Yue asked.
In his current state, he was still an apprentice recruited by the Dong family. In theory, he should have died.
If he appeared, the elders of the Dong family would definitely be suspicious..
