Chapter 1114: One and a Half Years
In fact, Huan Yin had the idea of recruiting Ying Jue to his side a long time ago. That was shortly after he first met Ying Jue and just knew how powerful Ying Jue was.
And Huan Yin's purpose of recruiting him was actually very clear. After all, Ying Jue's intelligence and information capabilities were too strong. If he had his help, it would be much easier for him to rise in the Western Eight Days where intelligence and information were the elements of survival. Moreover, even if he left the Western Eight Days, Ying Jue's ability was enough to help Huan Yin seize the whole world.
It can be said that Huan Yin not only had the idea of recruiting Ying Jue, but also, as he became more and more aware of Ying Jue's abilities and suffered more and more at the hands of Ying Jue, he became more and more eager for Ying Jue.
And since he was so eager to get Ying Jue and had been thinking about it for so long, Huan Yin naturally thought of many possible situations.
Huan Yin knew that with Ying Jue's abilities, he could be arrogant, weird, indifferent, and could come up with many reasons to refuse his recruitment and shirk his good intentions. He also prepared different arguments for various situations and a lot of favorable conditions, and he was determined not to give up until he could recruit Yingjue.
For example, the conditions he had offered Yingjue before, and his arguments, were specially prepared for recruiting Yingjue. However, those conditions were so favorable and those words were so attractive, but they could only be regarded as Huanyin's opening remarks. In addition to those, Huanyin had many other words to deal with, and there were more conditions to offer Yingjue. He even discussed with Donghuang Yuer that he would recruit Yingjue even if he had to sacrifice half of Donghuang's family property.
However, even though Huanyin was so well prepared and so sincere, and even thought he had thought of all the situations he could think of, he never expected that Yingjue would say such a thing at the moment.
These words made all the arguments and conditions prepared by Huanyin instantly meaningless. These words made Huanyin, who thought he could deal with all situations, suddenly become dumb.
Because Yingjue was not negotiating with Huanyin at all, he was talking about gratitude and love!
Because Huanyin could negotiate any conditions with Yingjue, but he could not ask him to be ungrateful or sell out his master for glory.
However, even if he had no words for a moment, even if he suddenly found that the distance between him and Yingjue was infinitely widening, Huanyin admired Yingjue more and took a fancy to Yingjue.
After all, such a capable person, but still so grateful and righteous, this kind of person is a real talent!
After a long silence, Huanyin was actually observing Yingjue secretly. Although he was infected by Yingjue's words, he still had a fluke mentality. He wanted to see if Yingjue was just using this as an excuse, or if he really knew gratitude and righteousness. But even he himself didn't know whether he hoped Yingjue's words were true or false.
After observing for a while, with Huanyin's experience and perspective on people, he was sure that Yingjue did not lie. Even though Ying Jue was wearing a mask and his expression could not be seen, the firm aura of faith that emanated from him proved that he did have a true master in his heart, a person who should not be let down.
Finally, a bitter smile from Huan Yin broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere. Huan Yin said, "Oh, I really don't know which guy is so lucky to get help from a man as talented and virtuous as Daoyou, and he is so devoted to him. I think if I use force, Daoyou would not choose to follow me even if he committed suicide on the spot, right?"
Ying Jue did not speak, but this was already a clear acquiescence.
Huan Yin smiled bitterly again and said, "Forget it, just pretend that you haven't heard of the conditions I offered. Yan will not kill loyal people, and I think the little unhappiness between you and me before can be written off. From today on, there is no connection between you and me, and you can leave. As for the Sly family, I will still use my own methods to target them. I think with your intelligence ability, you will be able to control everything in secret. Within a month, the Sly family will collapse. When the time comes, please feel free to take revenge on them." After Huan Yin finished speaking, Qing Yi, who had been blocking the entrance of the cave, immediately made way. But this time, it was Ying Jue's turn to be surprised. Ying Jue didn't expect that he had rejected Huan Yin, but Huan Yin had only said a few words, and he had already opened a way for himself. At the same time, Huan Yin would still target the Sly family, although he also had his own purpose, but he was also helping him to get revenge. "Are you really letting me go like this?" Ying Jue said in disbelief. Huan Yin smiled and said, "Why, Daoist Ying Jue doesn't want to leave?"
Ying Jue saw that Huan Yin's expression was not fake, and fell silent for a moment. After standing for a while, he asked, "I dare not ask more about your purpose. But, I think there must be a reason why you came to the Western Eight Days. May I ask, how long will it take to achieve your goal?"
Huan Yin didn't think much, because the overall plan to retake the Western Eight Days had been repeated in his mind thousands of times. So, he decisively answered, "Three years."
Ying Jue asked again, "What if I join your army?"
Huan Yin was stunned, and then answered, "If Daoist Daoist helps me with all my strength, with Daoist Daoist's intelligence and counterintelligence capabilities, I can develop more recklessly. Perhaps, this time can be cut in half!"
The Shadow Lord fell silent, obviously thinking. After a while, he said: "One and a half years, I can accept it! To be honest with you, my Lord was not in the West for eight days. Many years ago, he left alone because of some things and never returned. I have been waiting for him for a long time. Seeing that he never came back, I had to go back to the West, my hometown, for eight days to avenge myself. When I finished my revenge, I planned to go find my unknown master."
"However, my Lord has disappeared for a long time. I have no clues or clues to find him, so I'm afraid I have to wait for some opportunities. In this way, I think I will dedicate a year and a half to repay Lord Yan for avenging my family. Well, my Lord won’t blame you, so within one and a half years, I can promise to fully assist you!”
Huan Yin's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, seriously?"
The Shadow Lord nodded heavily and said: "But I hope that you can make a three-part agreement with me. First, promise to let me go after one and a half years. Second, don't pay attention to my true identity and let me always wear a mask. Finally, if I get it in advance, I will leave early if I don’t hear from the master.”
"Okay! I can guarantee everything you ask for with an oath, but you must also promise that while you are assisting me, you must go all out to help me succeed!" Huan Yin said readily, thinking that although he could not keep the Shadow Lord forever Stay with him, but there is a year and a half, which may be enough for him to take the West for eight days. In this way, it is finally much better than not having Shadow Lord.
"It's a deal!" Shadow Lord said loudly.
Nodding, Huan Yin turned around, pointed at Donghuang Yu'er, and said: "Miss Yan has been under the spell for a long time. I'm afraid that any further delay will cause her to suffer irreversible injuries or hidden diseases. Fellow Taoist Shadow Jue , please remove the secret technique for her immediately. Then, Sri Naga is next to you, you can use the secret technique on him while he is unconscious, and make him completely obey your orders. After that, the Sri family will fall into the trap. It's in your hand."
He looked at Donghuang Yu'er, then at Srinagar, and his eyes stayed especially long on Srinagar. Then, the Shadow Lord nodded and said, "I have finally waited for this day!"
