BECOMING A WIZARD BY STARTING FROM THE MIND CLOSURE TECHNIQUE

Chapter 755: Chapter 229: Strategic Planning_1

Sparing Hu Songqi wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Some people have a character that’s both timid and obstinate. They are destined never to settle down, always making trouble.

Hu Songqi is one of these people. Once she was sure that Link wasn’t in the provincial city, she wouldn’t be contented being so exploited, and would surely start to stir the pot in secret.

What Link wanted was for Hu Songqi to cause trouble, thereby giving him more clues about ancient witchcraft and evil witchcraft.

As for Hu Suqi, Link didn’t fully believe what she said.

Even though he felt a bit guilty towards his eldest brother, Link still used some tactics to guide him to confess his love to Hu Suqi.

Whether Hu Suqi accepted it or not, it would serve as a type of restriction.

As for whether it would work or not, that could be seen later on; there was no need to rush to a conclusion.

The one who entered the Lotus Heart Boat was a clone.

Right now, Link’s real body had completely changed its appearance, even his breath and frequency of spiritual power fluctuations had been altered.

Link believed that even if Li Shuwen, who was at the Hollow Void Stage, was right in front of him, he wouldn’t be able to recognize him.

On a ship heading downstream towards Tianshui County.

Link purchased a first-class cabin ticket and moved into a suite with a master bedroom, guest bedroom, servants’ room, and two bathrooms alone.

There were windows in the suite from which he could enjoy the river view and let in daylight.

Sitting in front of the window-side desk, listening to the sound of the rushing river, Link was looking through the materials plundered from Hu Songqi.

He did gain something, but the quality was a little less satisfactory compared to the pile of stuff he got from Hu Suqi.

Link didn’t bother to explore the reasons behind it. After putting away the ancient books, bamboo slips, and secret scripts, he began to study the map of the Death Valley Secret Realm in earnest.

After visiting Tianshui County and seeing his single mom who he hadn’t seen in ten years, he was planning on a return attack, going back to the provincial city to see the situation there.

The Death Valley was vast.

According to the scale on the map, Link made a rough estimate and found that it would take at least half a month to fully explore it.

“Think long term.”

Murmuring to himself, Link put away the map of Death Valley and gazed out at the river view for a while.

With a somewhat relaxed spirit, Link then threw himself into perfecting the “Construction” system.

Once the inspiration arrived, there was no stopping it.

Link had already decided that after returning to the provincial city, he would start experimenting with embedding the “Construction” into Human Immortal Martial Artists.

As for the design work of the “Construction” individual pieces and set pieces, he could start now and adjust later based on feedback.

The river flowed eastward, and the boats competed to sail.

The provincial city.

Link had already left, and the impact he left was just beginning to ferment.

In the private courtyard.

Hu Suqi looked at Shi Gandang, who was kneeling on one knee before her, one hand holding flowers, and the other holding a ring, her feelings mixed.

She actually was a bit unsure whether this was really Shi Gandang’s genuine feelings or if it was mostly influenced by the technique.

With Hu Suqi’s understanding of ancient witchcraft, she could naturally see the traces of the technique that Link didn’t bother to cover up.

However, techniques aren’t omnipotent, especially those altering cognition.

Shi Gandang was no ordinary person, but an advanced practitioner of the Human Immortal Martial Path in the early stage of the Normalization Realm.

To alter Shi Gandang’s cognition, given Hu Suqi’s mastery of ancient witchcraft, perhaps it would take years of constant techniques to be successful.

So, it wasn’t that Hu Suqi was unsure, but that she was afraid to admit it.

As long as she didn’t acknowledge that Shi Gandang’s confession was sincere, it would be easier to reject, and there was no need to question her own heart.

She opened her mouth to reject him, but the sincerity in Shi Gandang’s eyes and his increasingly erratic heartbeat made it impossible for her to get the words out.

“Your Eighth Junior really gets on my nerves!”

After a long silence, just when Shi Gandang thought his confession would be rejected, Hu Suqi finally spoke, her voice full of grievances.

“Eh? Eighth Junior? Annoying?”

Shi Gandang was surprised and confused.

What does this have to do with Eighth Junior? I’m confessing my love to you, why bring him up?

Hu Suqi didn’t leave Shi Gandang in confusion for long, she immediately disclosed the answer: “Your Eighth Junior, Young Hero Lin, appeared to take my words at face value, but he turned around and influenced you to come and test me, spying on me. Is it annoying or not?”

“Eighth Junior looked for you? When?”

Hearing this, Shi Gandang seized on the key point and hurriedly asked.

And when did Eighth Junior influence me to test and watch you?

Seeing Shi Gandang’s stunned expression, Hu Suqi had to admit, Shi Gandang’s confession was truly sincere.

“Sigh!”

After a sigh, Hu Suqi said, “Last night, shortly after you left.”

Then she swiftly changed the topic, asking, “Have you ever thought about what you’ll face if I accept your pursuit? And what will the Octagon Martial Arts School face?”

This question immediately diverted Shi Gandang’s attention.

Did Hu Suqi just loosen her rejection? That meant she might accept his confession.

Was there any better news than this?

No, none at all!

However, what Hu Suqi said was indeed quite important.

After all, her identity was clear. She was the second daughter of a provincial general and a widely connected socialite in the upper class.

As for Shi Gandang, he was the main disciples of the thriving Octagon Martial Arts School.

As for the Octagon Martial Arts School, the ordinary people might not be aware of it, but those of a certain status, power, and wealth certainly knew that its founder was Li Shuwen, the man who once dominated the Southern Pugilistic World.

If the two of them, with such identities, got together, it wouldn’t just concern the two of them.

No matter what the inside story was, from an outsider’s perspective, it would be seen as a strong alliance between Governor Hu and the Octagon Martial Arts School/Li Shuwen.
