Chapter 302: Do you want to be Xu Xian or Fahai?
Chapter 302: Do you want to be Xu Xian or Fahai?
Huang Rong smiled sweetly at the three girls, walked to Li Ping's side, and used the same telepathic communication: "They all know they are extraordinary people. I asked them about their experiences, and they told me almost exactly what Chu Liuxiang said."
"They just don't remember Chu Liuxiang..."
Li Ping was quite surprised: "If their lives lacked Xiang Shuai, wouldn't there be a lot of blank spaces?"
Huang Rong sighed, "That's the strangest part. Bai Suzhen has replaced the Fragrant Prince in their memories. In their eyes, they grew up with Bai Suzhen, and although they were maids, they were like sisters..."
Li Ping stared at Bai Suzhen's retreating figure: "Could it be her? Did she replace Chu Liuxiang in the records of several people with herself?"
"Or perhaps they are puppets or substitutes?"
Huang Rong frowned deeply: "Anything is possible, but why? Why would they do that? If it's a trap set for us, why expose such a huge flaw in front of us?"
"They wouldn't be targeting us without knowing our relationship with Xiang Shuai, would they?"
Li Ping said, "Why don't we just ask directly?"
Huang Rong sighed: "If they had been willing to talk, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Upon arriving at the main hall, the group sat down, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Li Ping held the wine glass in her hand, which was filled with juice. It seemed that they knew her very well; they shouldn't be unaware of her relationship with Chu Liuxiang.
If it were a trap or an attempt to deceive me, how could it have revealed such a glaring flaw?
That's really strange!
Li Ping looked at Bai Suzhen: "Miss Bai, have you ever heard of the Legend of the White Snake?"
Hearing this, Su Rongrong covered her mouth and laughed: "The story of the White Snake has been around for a long time, and we also know about Li Daxia's new version."
"Master Li has written my young lady very well!"
Song Tian'er whispered, "So, at first I thought Master Li came for my young lady, but with Lady Huang coming along, it doesn't seem like it!"
Bai Suzhen blushed slightly and scolded, "Tian'er, don't talk nonsense. Master Li didn't know me before, we just have the same name."
Li Ping continued to observe their expressions, but could not detect any flaws: "Just after we came down from Qingcheng Mountain, we heard the Taoist priests there say that they encountered a very large white snake."
"We chased after you all the way here, and then we met you, Miss Bai."
Song Tian'er laughed uncontrollably: "So, Master Li thinks my young lady is the White Snake Lady!?"
"So, does Master Li wish to be like Xu Xian, or Fa Hai?"
Bai Suzhen was furious: "Song Tian'er! You're becoming more and more outrageous!"
Su Rongrong immediately transmitted her voice: "Miss Huang is right here. If you say things like that, people will misunderstand, you silly girl!"
Song Tian'er shrank her neck.
This telepathic transmission did not escape Li Ping's notice either.
Wow, this doesn't look like acting at all!
At this moment, Bai Suzhen said to Huang Rong, "Miss Huang, I'm sorry, Tian'er has always been outspoken."
Huang Rong remained unperturbed: "Tian'er is innocent and carefree, I like her very much!"
"Lady White Snake was a very good demon. She accumulated good deeds throughout her life, and despite the many twists and turns, she eventually became a celestial being."
A hint of disdain appeared on Bai Suzhen's lips: "Become an immortal? What's so good about becoming an immortal?"
"The immortals and gods are high above, blind to the suffering of mortals. They're nothing but a bunch of incompetent fools. What's the point of them doing anything!"
At this moment, Song Tian'er suddenly slapped her palm, staring wide-eyed at Li Ping and Huang Rong: "By the way, you were indeed chasing a snake earlier."
"I saw it too. Do you really think our young lady is... haha..."
Song Tian'er laughed until her stomach hurt: "I never thought that the dignified Master Li would actually believe that monsters exist in this world."
Li Ping said, "That's not necessarily true. There are immortals, and there might also be monsters."
Bai Suzhen was a little angry: "So, this time, Hero Li, are you trying to act like Fahai? To capture this demon and imprison me in Leifeng Pagoda?"
Li Ping nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking..."
After saying that, he flicked his index finger, and the wine cup in his hand flew towards Bai Suzhen like lightning.
Bai Suzhen was taken aback, then stretched out her hands and caught the wine cup in Li Ping's hand.
But suddenly the wine glass shook again, and the juice inside turned into ice shards that pierced Bai Suzhen's face.
Bai Suzhen's expression changed drastically. Seeing that she had nowhere to avoid it, the ice shards suddenly shattered and turned into a cold wind that brushed against her face.
The girls' expressions changed drastically, and they adopted a defensive stance.
Li Ping lowered his eyes. Bai Suzhen's kung fu was quite good, but only quite good; she couldn't be considered a top-tier expert.
If Bai Suzhen is acting, and she can even fool herself, then how powerful must she be?
Could there really be monsters?!
No way!
Bai Suzhen's face turned cold: "Hero Li, it seems you really have come to capture demons!"
At this moment, Huang Rong stood up, clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Miss Bai, I'm so sorry."
"The main problem is that the snake we encountered before was really huge, and it just so happened to be white, and coincidentally, your name is Bai Suzhen..."
"Can you please stop us from overthinking this?"
"Li Ping acted recklessly, I apologize to you."
"It seems so." Bai Suzhen was both amused and exasperated. "So you really do think I'm a monster! At least I'm not being treated like some kind of man-eating monster."
"Otherwise, wouldn't I be killed by Master Li in one move?!"
Li Ping shook his head: "Absolutely not! I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault! I'll punish myself with a drink!"
This time, he really punished himself with a glass of...juice.
The girls breathed a sigh of relief and put away their hidden weapons and poisons.
Li Ping continued to observe carefully. Their performances were all too normal. If this was all acting, then I had met four Best Actor winners.
Li Ping really couldn't understand it, so he decided to leave it for now.
I'll go with them to the Tang Clan first, partly to monitor them, partly to protect them.
Once Chu Liuxiang and Yang arrive, they can compare their past experiences and figure out what happened.
Then, Bai Suzhen sighed, "If only I were really Lady Bai, I would have that magic power and I would definitely bring down the emperor."
"Let the world achieve democracy."
Li Ping's eyes widened again.
No, you just said "democracy," right?!
You still say you're not a time traveler?!
Seeing the expressions on Li Ping's and the other person's faces, Su Rongrong said, "Miss, please stop talking nonsense. If the authorities hear this..."
Bai Suzhen waved her hand: "Although Hero Li is the guardian sword of the nation, he is not on the same side as those who eat meat."
"The word 'democracy' came to me. 'People' means ordinary people, and democracy means that ordinary people are the masters of their own destiny."
"When the people are in charge, they don't need to fear exploitation by officials!"
You came up with that?
Wow, were the ideas in the Ming Dynasty really that advanced?
It seems there really is such a thing. I remember someone mentioning "empty emperor" in the Ming Dynasty!
Huang Rong paused for a moment: "The idea is good, but there are so many people in the world, and everyone has different ideas. If the common people are in charge, who should listen to them?"
Bai Suzhen said with distress, "I still haven't figured it out."
"If the majority agrees on something, but another group disagrees, then how can that be considered democratic?"
"If we follow the majority's opinion, then aren't the other group being ignored...?"
Huang Rong shook her head: "If everyone has to express their opinion on every single matter, the imperial court will definitely be unable to accomplish anything..."
The two girls began to seriously discuss democracy, while Li Ping continued to carefully observe the four girls in front of him, but he couldn't find a single flaw.
So who exactly is behind this?
Pang Ban?
But what was his purpose in doing this? Why would he deliberately expose such a huge flaw?
Tang Clan?
What exactly is the Tang Clan after?
Want to dominate the martial world? You want to kill me first?
As long as the people of the Tang Clan haven't gone mad, they won't think like that!
This is so damn weird!
The boat sped down the river, and half a day later, we arrived at the new Tangjiabao.
At the entrance of Tangjiabao, there was a sweet-looking girl greeting guests.
Her smile was so sweet, as sweet as a drop of honey...
