Chapter 677: Chapter 11: Junior Sister Xu Wants to Take Control of the Situation Chapter 677: Chapter 11: Junior Sister Xu Wants to Take Control of the Situation As the words of Venerable Liandu fell, the expressions of the real persons around, although still grim, seemed to relax subtly.
The reason was simple: if it came to a test of strength, they had no confidence in defeating Qiu Changtian.
?0?G0.??
But if it were a test of cunning, that would be another story.
Xu Yinglian was thinking the same.
At this moment, she was eager to try, wishing she could immediately identify the Chosen Ones from both sides, and then “modestly” show up her senior brother, just like he had done to her countless times before.
“Additionally, I’ve discussed this with Jiuhua True Monarch as well,” Venerable Liandu continued with a smile, “To prevent everyone from excessively relying on violence, in the palaces governed by me and Jiuhua True Monarch, you are not allowed to use martial force to coerce confessions from the opposite side.”
“After all, this is not the White Jade Capital.
I ask everyone to try their best to use strategy to win.”
Xu Yinglian’s thoughts turned slightly and she understood the hidden meaning in their words:
If the White Jade Capital Secret Realm tests the martial force of cultivators, then the Golden Que Secret Realm is more about testing the wisdom of the cultivators.
She filtered through the rules in her mind again and realized that she must take control over both, the identity of the opponent’s Chosen One and her own side’s Chosen One.
Understanding the identity of the opponent’s Chosen One is, no doubt, the key element to winning the final victory; but if her own side’s Chosen One were to be guessed by the opponent, it would lead to a lose-lose outcome.
To prevent the latter scenario, there were two methods:

The first is concealment, that is, not letting the opponent discover the true situation;The second is deceit, that is, letting the opponent discover a false situation.
To achieve these two, one must be clear on who their own Chosen One is, and then cleverly apply switching strategies for changes.
As long as they ensure the opponent answers incorrectly in the end, that would be enough.
Thinking this way, deceit in fact seemed more efficient than concealment-because to probe the opponent’s information, there must be mutual communication and probing.
With mutual communication, it’s inevitable to reveal information to the opponent, so concealment is a less effective, passive approach, whereas proactive deceit is more likely to have an effect.
Xu Yinglian looked again at the people present.
There were six people in total at the event: myself, senior brother, and Senior Sister Luo are naturally on one side; it’s possible to fight for Real Person Miaodan of Shushan, while the two real persons from the Demon Cult…
judging by their undisguised hostility, they seem to have no intention of cooperating with us.
They are probably dreaming of “guessing the opponent’s Chosen One” and “keeping our side’s Chosen One” at the same time.
That would be troublesome.
According to the rules given by Venerable Liandu, their presence is definitely the sort that is not helpful but rather detrimental.
If they could be killed off beforehand, that would be ideal…
“Very well,” Venerable Liandu suddenly said with a smile, “I have informed my selected individual, the Chosen One.”
“Next, you all are free to discuss!”
After speaking, the elder stood up, laughing heartily as he left.
Xu Yinglian immediately became highly alert, with her Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart working rapidly, her gaze sweeping over the people around her.
If it’s not me, then who is it?
She saw the two real persons from the Demonic Path simultaneously showing signs of annoyance; Real Person Miaodan of Shushan was pale and flushed at the same time; Senior Sister Luo Baiyuan appeared expressionless; her senior brother was continuing to pour himself a drink, occasionally swirling the wine in his cup…
Senior brother!
At a time like this, you are still showing off here!
Feeling helpless, Xu Yinglian could only take the initiative to speak out:
“I am the Venerable Qiong Ying from Kunlun.”
“Although I don’t like to boast, you must have heard my name.”
“Hmph.” Before the two Venerables from the Demonic Path could speak, the Venerable Miao Dan from Shushan spoke up first, “The Xu Family of Southern Heaven, Phoenix Immortal, who doesn’t know?”
Xu Yinglian’s eyebrows knitted slightly as she sensed that the Shushan Venerable seemed intent on remaining neutral, so she said coldly:
“If that’s the case, then you should know that my talent and strength are superior among you.”
“If Venerable Liandu were to choose disciples and impart his mantle, based on strength and talent, then my senior brother and I both would have a high probability of being chosen…
however, the reality is that neither of us has been chosen.”
“The reason is actually quite simple: The Venerables from Jiuhua’s side must also be holding the same speculation.”
“To assume the worst situation, if by tomorrow noon they still haven’t guessed the answer, then in blind guessing, the ones who choose my senior brother and me will definitely be the most.”
“Venerable Liandu must have considered this point in advance, so he didn’t choose us, can you understand this reasoning?”
“Wait a second.” Suddenly, one of the Venerables from the Demonic Path spoke up, “Even if that’s the case…”
“May I ask your Daoist name?” Xu Yinglian interrupted him abruptly.
“The Daoist name ‘Moyan’.” Venerable Moyan said directly, “Your analysis isn’t wrong, but Venerable Liandu may not do as you expect, right?
Perhaps he sees the rarity of the First Grade Golden Core and, out of fondness for talent, chose Changgeng True Person first.”
“It’s quite simple.” Xu Yinglian spoke calmly, “Because Venerable Liandu has mentioned that he is betting with Jiuhua True Monarch.”
“The meaning of betting doesn’t need me to explain to you, right?
Since it’s a contest of pride, winning or losing becomes even more important, otherwise there would be no point in making this bet.”
“Furthermore, even if my senior brother and I were chosen, as soon as someone guesses it right, our identity would be transferred immediately.
Thus, instead of holding onto ‘to whom to pass on the Daoist Magic,’ it’s more realistic to uphold ‘to win this bet.’”
Xu Yinglian concluded with a cold laugh, “Of course, if someone projects their own stupidity and thinks Venerable Liandu will act as foolishly as they would, that’s another matter.”
“You…” Venerable Moyan’s face suddenly darkened, wanting to act but remembering Venerable Liandu’s earlier warning, he forcibly suppressed his urge.
Qiu Changtian sipped his wine with content on the side, thinking how this person was not nearly as eloquent as Junior Sister Xu.
What many didn’t know was that language and thought are connected through emotions.
If you can’t refute the other party in language, your thoughts often start to waver, which is an instinctive habit in human social interaction.
As long as Junior Sister can control this situation, what follows will be much simpler.
“In any case, the Chosen One is neither me nor my senior brother.” Xu Yinglian finally said, “I have a proposal here.”
“If someone already knows they are the Chosen One, they can secretly transmit a message to inform me.
In compensation, I will impart a Daoist Magic to them.”
Upon these words, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically.
It was clear what Xu Yinglian meant: she wanted to take away the position of the Chosen One from that person, and then compensate with the Daoist Magic that the person was originally entitled to.
“Your Daoist Magic may not be more profound than what Venerable Liandu could teach, right?” Venerable Miao Dan from Shushan questioned again.
“Perhaps.” Xu Yinglian said leisurely, “But as long as you tell me, I will certainly give.”
“Whereas the identity of Venerable Liandu’s Chosen One, even if it is you now, might not be by tomorrow noon.”
“Bluffing!” Venerable Moyan scoffed again, “If it were me, I wouldn’t say anything.
What could you do?”
“Nothing at all.” Qiu Changtian suddenly said, “Violence can’t be used here, but elsewhere, it might not be the case.”
