Chapter 426: How can the knife handed over by my own hand hurt me?

Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and Nezha saw the golden light on Tang An's body appearing and disappearing, and knew that it was the manifestation of great merit.

Reversing a magic array and causing such a big change, yet there was no backlash, and she even received such great merit?

What had the people of that country done to the Huaxia land in the past?

"Master, Yang Jian still feels there is something tricky about this matter, so we shouldn't be careless."

"If that magic array was just purely stealing Huaxia's fortune, perhaps it could have been led by other methods. Why did it have to pick Master's divine statue?"

"And Master's divine statue carries the power of faith and a trace of the origin power of Huaxia's fortune; it looks like a divine statue from the Great Tang period."

"I always feel like there is a pair of hands behind the scenes deliberately helping him, deliberately attracting our attention."

"But I can't figure it out, doing things like this, and even letting Master obtain such great merit, what benefit is it to him? Is the other party a friend?"

Tang An picked up the teacup and looked at the Houtu Divine Ring on her hand, with a slight smile.

"As expected of you, you hit the nail on the head right away."

"But for now, I can be sure of one thing: the other party is not a friend, but an enemy hiding in the dark."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong jumped over. "How can Master be sure that the other party is an enemy and not a friend?"

Tang An took a sip of tea. "Don't you think that since we came back, too many coincidences have followed?"

"We happened to run into people with old grudges, and coincidentally, they were Wang Maolin's relatives, which led to Wang Maolin's appearance."

"And then, this person borrowed my induction to my own divine statue and led me to that place, which even the ghost runners had investigated for a long time but couldn't find."

"And then there were the two ghosts who formed a good fate; I promised to fulfill their two wishes, which also takes time to do."

"If I'm not mistaken, there will be more things coming to my door. And, it should still be things I can't refuse."

"Connecting these things one by one, the answer is actually quite obvious."

Sun Wukong scratched his cheeks and jumped down from the rockery outside the pavilion. "Master means..."

"Delay." Yang Jian had already said the answer.

"Yes, the things we originally came to do only needed a few days to complete, and we could go back. But one thing after another followed, and the time for us to go back can only be delayed again and again."

"Maybe he didn't know how much merit the backlash of the fortune array would bring me. In other words, maybe he knew, but didn't care at all."

"An enemy doesn't care that their opponent becomes stronger, why is that?"

"Because he seems to have determined that as long as I am delayed until the time he wants. No matter whether I become stronger or not, I will eventually end up with no threat to them."

Tang An's expression was calm and smiling, seemingly still looking forward to the other party's next moves.

Nezha was nervous. "Could it be that they are deliberately not letting you go back, so they can unite with the Western Sect and do some shameful things in the dark?"

He was afraid, afraid that after Tang An went back, the things she faced would become more and more tricky. It could even be said that there might be life-threatening danger.

Tang An looked into the void, her eyes filled with schemes that people couldn't see through.

"The Outer Realm Demon Race is indeed not easy to deal with, but among our few saints, which one is a vegetarian?"

"And, even if the Heavenly Dao is biased toward the Western Sect, once a crisis involving the destruction of the Three Realms occurs, it won't sit idly by."

"So I'm not worried about things over there."

"What's urgent now is to handle the things here before going back."

"But since it's a game, it's natural to have give and take." Tang An took a sip of tea, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

A look of surprise appeared in Yang Jian's eyes. "Master already has a plan?"

The smile on Tang An's face deepened, and that signature look of mischievous malice appeared in her eyes once again.

She transmitted her voice through the jade pendant and said only one sentence.

"How can the knife handed over by my own hand hurt me?"

After all, the knife handed over by others might have sharpness, or it might be a wooden knife. But the knife handed over from Tang An's hand could only be a prop that couldn't hurt anyone.

"Then what should we do tomorrow? Should I open my Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze and drag the person out from the dark?"

Tang An shook her head. "Tomorrow is naturally to take Senior Wutian to absorb the resentment of the living people here."

"As for the next things, don't worry, he will take action."

Sun Wukong always felt that Tang An already knew something, or rather, she already knew what the other party wanted to do.

As things stand, she looks very much like she is borrowing the other party's strength to complete what she wants to complete. It looks like she is passive, but in fact, she is the oriole behind the mantis, silently watching the game, always mastering the initiative.

"Master has grown too much compared to back then." He remembered what Tang An looked like when he first met her; at that time, she was still a straightforward person.

Although she had schemes and little thoughts, she wasn't mature enough, not meticulous enough. She was even impulsive, worried and afraid, or still had a bit of youthful hot blood.

But now...

Tang An just smiled at this. "People, learn from every mistake, and will always grow."

"Alright, let's all go rest, and take Senior Wutian to eat something good tomorrow."

She seemed to be the same careless person as before, but if you observe carefully, she is more like trying to find, or even imitating, her former self.

Nezha took a deep breath, didn't speak, and didn't leave, just drinking and thinking here.

In his phone, there were also a few search records at this moment.

"How to make someone find their former happiness?"

"How to make a girl happy?"

"What other flavors of lollipops are there?"

The next day, early in the morning, it was only five o'clock, and they appeared near a school.

Four tree branches, four sneaky figures, still looking so stealthy.

"Are we... here to steal children?" Nezha looked puzzled.

"Go, go, go, people who steal children are called human traffickers."

"Then what are we doing?"

"Waiting for them to have morning self-study, the plan for the day lies in the morning, and the resentment of morning self-study is not small."

Wutian's figure appeared beside them, looking at the empty school, and took a deep breath. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure."

One hour later...

Two hours later...

Three hours later...

There was no resentment to be seen, but there were many fallen leaves on them.

Wutian and Sun Wukong and the others silently looked at Tang An, seemingly needing Tang An to answer what was going on.

Tang An's brain went "buzz," and then she silently took out her phone...

"Hehehehe..." She laughed as guiltily as she could be.

"If I say I've been with you for too long and forgot that children don't have classes on Saturdays and Sundays, do you believe, believe me?"

Seeing the aura of the four of them about to beat someone up, Tang An hurriedly stopped.

"Although children don't go to school, we can go to the place where they work!"

"I tell you, the resentment of working is quite enough, much stronger than the resentment of school, really."

"Really?" Wutian seemed to believe it or not, always feeling that Tang An was still a bit unreliable. ===== CHAPTER 427 =====
