Water Margin: Why is Daiyu the head instructor of the Imperial Guards?

"Your favorability rating is already 30?"

Liang Shan noticed the increase in favorability and was somewhat surprised.

Own……

They didn't do anything.

The favorability rating suddenly jumped to 30.

The task of subduing Tian Gu Xing seemed to be simpler than he had imagined.

To know.

Previously, in order to win over Lin Daiyu, he wrote poems, chatted with her, and used cheesy pickup lines. In the end, he risked his life to save Lin Daiyu's life, and only with the help of a system bug was he able to complete the mission.

"It's still more comfortable to be with men."

Liang Shan sighed with heartfelt emotion.

Then.

A chill ran through him, and he quickly banished the dangerous thought.

Damn rumors.

I almost turned myself gay.

"Nephew, you mentioned mediation, but how exactly do you intend to mediate?"

Fahai poured himself another bowl of wine, gulped it down, and said with a worried look, "Bai Suzhen is a good demon who has never done evil. Although I do not wish to be her enemy, she probably wishes she could kill me right now."

"rest assured."

Liang Shan patted his chest, full of confidence: "Based on my 20 years of professional experience as a top mediator, women may look fierce, but as long as you reason with them, everything is negotiable."

"real?"

Fahai was skeptical.

"certainly!"

Liang Shan immediately made a decision: "Zen Master Fahai, you wait here at Bao'en Temple. I'll go talk to Bai Suzhen and try to get you two to sit down and have a proper discussion."

"Bai Suzhen is a thousand-year-old snake demon with strength comparable to the Celestial Realm. You are just an ordinary person. It would be too dangerous for you to go looking for her rashly."

Fahai frowned slightly and pondered, "If all else fails, I'll fight her. I've already decided that even if I win, I won't kill her. I'll just imprison her under the Pagoda of Gratitude for twenty years and try to use Buddhism to convert her and help her let go of her hatred."

talking.

He pointed behind him, where a tall tower stood.

This is the core building of Bao'en Temple.

The Tower of Gratitude.

Liang Shan: "..."

He looked at Fahai's compassionate expression, and his lips twitched a few times.

This plot is a mess.

It actually made sense in such a bizarre way.

only.

Leifeng Pagoda, which suppressed Lady White Snake, has been transformed into the Pagoda of Gratitude.

but……

He didn't want to become one of the hundreds of thousands of ordinary mortals who were drowned by Bai Suzhen.

It is better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester.

Liang Shan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Zen Master Fahai, believe me, I am confident that I can resolve this feud."

"In that case, I will wait for your news at Bao'en Temple."

Fahai took a good look at Liangshan and finally agreed to let Liangshan give it a try.

[Ding! Tian Gu Xing Fahai's favorability +10.]

[Current favorability: 40. 】

In my mind.

The system notification sounded again.

Liang Shan was overjoyed.

But he remained outwardly calm, bowed to Fahai, and then left Bao'en Temple with Zhou Ming.

……

at the same time.

Baohe Hall.

Inner courtyard.

Bai Suzhen sat beside Xu Xian's corpse.

Clutching a handkerchief in her hand, tears streamed down her face, soaking the handkerchief completely.

Xiaoqing stood to the side, stamping her feet in anger: "Sister, stop crying! What are we supposed to do now?"

"I want to take him to Qingcheng Mountain."

Bai Suzhen wiped away her tears, her voice revealing a hint of determination.

"Bring it back to Qingcheng Mountain?"

Xiaoqing's eyes widened: "Sister, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"good!"

Bai Suzhen raised her head: "The only way to save my husband is through that method."

"No!"

Xiaoqing's expression changed drastically, and she grabbed Bai Suzhen's hand: "Sister, have you gone mad?! That method requires your thousand years of cultivation as a price, and it's not even guaranteed to succeed!"

How will you know if you don't try?

Bai Suzhen gently pushed Xiaoqing's hand away and tenderly stroked Xu Xian's face: "Xiaoqing, you don't understand. He is my husband. I can't just watch him die."

"But--"

Xiaoqing tried to persuade her again, but Bai Suzhen stopped her by raising her hand.

"I've made up my mind."

Bai Suzhen stood up, her eyes filled with determination: "As for the grudge with Fahai... we'll settle it with him after we rescue my husband!"

Xiaoqing was so anxious she was pacing around in circles.

But there was nothing they could do.

She knew her sister's personality; once she made a decision, it was impossible to change it.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

Just then, there was a knock on the front door.

"Who is it?!"

Xiaoqing yelled in annoyance.

"Dali Temple, Liangshan!"

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Xiaoqing was taken aback.

He looked at Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen was also taken aback, seemingly not expecting Liangshan to come to her door again so soon.

She wiped away her tears.

After straightening her clothes, she nodded to Xiaoqing and said, "Go open the door."

Xiaoqing walked quickly to the front yard.

Open the door.

Sure enough, Liang Shan stood at the door, followed by Zhou Ming.

"What are you doing here again?!"

Xiaoqing glared at him, annoyed: "Hasn't the case already been explained? The murderer is that wicked monk Fahai, go and arrest him!!"

Why should I arrest Fahai?

Liang Shan walked into Baohe Hall with ease, found a chair and sat down without the slightest bit of politeness.

"If you don't arrest Fahai, then my brother-in-law died for nothing?!"

Xiaoqing's eyes widened.

"What's your hurry?"

Liang Shan glanced at her, his tone utterly solemn: "You only lost a brother-in-law, do you know what Fahai sacrificed?"

"Wh...what?"

Xiaoqing was intimidated by Liangshan's appearance and stared wide-eyed, waiting for what would happen next.

"Fahai...sacrificed his lifelong reputation!"

"???"

A row of question marks appeared above Xiaoqing's head.

"Think about it, Master Fahai, a highly accomplished Buddhist monk, why would he pursue you sisters for three years?"

Seeing that Xiaoqing was still confused, Liang Shan pressed his advantage, saying, "Was he trying to subdue the demon? No, he was clearly trying to protect you!"

"Protect us?"

Xiaoqing was even more confused.

"right!"

Liang Shan sighed, looking heartbroken: "Actually, Fahai saw through Xu Xian's scumbag nature long ago. He secretly protected you for three years, but you treated him like an enemy."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Just then, Bai Suzhen emerged from the inner room, her eyes red-rimmed, her voice tinged with coldness: "Fahai clearly intends to take us in, so what talk of protection?"

The Realm of Heaven and Man.

Not angry.

Liang Shan felt as if he had been instantly disconnected from the world, as if he were in a boundless and vast ocean.

"Gurgle!"

He swallowed hard; this was the first time he had ever faced the pressure of a Celestial Realm expert.

The other party only needs a single thought.

Then you can make yourself vanish into thin air.

The thousand-year-old snake demon is indeed not to be trifled with.

Liang Shan was filled with regret, but he still maintained a strong and calm demeanor, saying, "Miss Bai, please calm down."

"Tell me, Fahai has been chasing you for three years, did he ever make a move?"

Bai Suzhen was taken aback.

Thinking back, it seems... I really haven't made a move.

Every time Fahai appears.

It seems that he mostly talks to his own husband and hardly ever interacts with them.

"That's right!"

Liang Shan slapped his thigh excitedly and exclaimed, "Actually, Zen Master Fahai has secretly liked you for a long time!"

This statement came out.

The entire Baohetang was plunged into a deathly silence.
