"Death seems unlikely, though it is hard to say. After all, this secret art was meant for spirit beasts; used on a human, it may produce consequences beyond imagining…" Little One said.
"Then which member of the Sun family would be suitable for this secret art? Old Master Sun, or that Sun Jingyan?" Patriarch Xuanchen asked.
"Either would do, but Sun Jingyan should be the better choice," Little One said.
"Oh? Why is that?" Patriarch Xuanchen frowned slightly. "This Sun Jingyan—she is Wei Zhao's woman, is she not? Moving against her would seem to violate the rules. If Wei Zhao finds out and tells Leader Bai, it could affect the whole plan…"
"But Old Master Sun is advanced in years. With this secret art, I fear he could not endure it, and if he happened to die, that would be even more trouble!" Little One explained. "Moreover, according to our informants, Wei Zhao is not in Donghai City at present. If we act discreetly, there should be no problem."
"Hmm…" Patriarch Xuanchen nodded, then turned to Kang Jingming. "Zhaoming, what do you think? You are more familiar with the affairs of the mortal world—is the relationship between Wei Zhao and Sun Jingyan truly that of lovers?"
"That… most likely it is." Kang Jingming did not dare lie on this matter. Much as he wished to deal with Wei Zhao, he could not bring trouble down upon the Five Luminaries Sect—the sect was his foundation, and if it cast him out, he would be nothing. So he was cautious on this point as well: "However, I recall that in the beginning the Patriarch only promised Leader Bai that he would not trouble his disciples or Wei Zhao, correct? Sun Jingyan is not his disciple, so we can simply feign ignorance. Even if Leader Bai comes demanding answers, we can plead total ignorance and shift the blame with an air of innocence!"
"That is a fine idea!" Patriarch Xuanchen nodded. Was it not merely playing the rogue? Yet he had to admit that sometimes playing the rogue was the best solution of all.
"Indeed, Master. Junior Brother Zhaoming's suggestion is a good one. So long as Leader Bai does not catch us in the act, we can shift the blame afterward!" Little One nodded. "But the odds of Leader Bai going to the Sun family are next to nil! Even if Wei Zhao went, it would do him no good—he is no match for me at all. If I go in person, he can only glare helplessly, and afterward we simply deny everything, and the matter will pass."
"Good, then it is settled! You and Little Eleven make your preparations and take Tagan Long to Donghai City. Use this secret art to awaken Sun Jingyan's healing quota and heal Tagan Long's injuries!" Patriarch Xuanchen said. "But you must prepare thoroughly and strive to succeed. Opportunities like this are rare—Tagan Long is our only hope at present!"
"I understand, Master. Rest assured, Little Eleven and I will be careful and prudent!" Little One answered, then asked: "By the way, Master, Old Six, Old Seven, and Old Twelve—they…" RS
