Chapter 2108
He Pingsheng still wanted to say something, but Li Yueren waved her hand and said, "You don't speak first, listen to me finish!"
"Shangguan Kunlun isn't as impetuous as he appears on the surface!"
"Him liking our family's Tao Yaoyao is also fake!"
"They merely want to use this pretext to continue dealing with our Tao family!"
"The Gongsun family's aim is to completely seize and occupy our Tao family!"
"So you must not be deceived by Gongsun Kunlun's surface appearance!"
Hearing this, He Pingsheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he grew vigilant in his heart.
That's right, that Gongsun Kunlun's behavior earlier didn't resemble a normal person at all, simply a madman.
Someone who cultivated to the peak of the God Monarch Realm, one step from entering the God Venerable Realm, this bastard couldn't possibly be a madman.
Then it was deliberate.
Moreover, they didn't know my combat strength beforehand, yet they came directly bringing six God Venerable Realm experts?
It's very obvious, these God Venerable Realm experts weren't for dealing with me, they were for defense and vigilance, even to say they were for digging a pit for the Tao family.
If the one who came wasn't the Tao family's God King Realm Ancestor, but a God Venerable Realm expert, then that God Venerable Realm expert today would soon be besieged to death by the six great God Venerables.
"Yes!" He Pingsheng nodded.
Li Yueren continued: "For this competition, I'm giving you two tasks!"
"First, seize a place in the top nine!"
"Second, the Gongsun family's participant in the competition is this Gongsun Kunlun. If possible, you make a move and kill this Gongsun Kunlun for me!"
He Pingsheng: ………………
Holy shit!
Does this bitch woman have no brains?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, telling me to kill Gongsun Kunlun?
Why don't you go kill him?
"Don't rush to refuse me first, listen to me finish!" Li Yueren began painting a rosy picture for He Pingsheng: "As long as you can complete these two tasks I spoke of, not only is the Shakyamuni Divine Fruit yours, but I'll also let you stay in our Tao family. In the future, all resources on your path of advancement, our Tao family will provide entirely!"
"If you can reach the God King Realm, in the future this Tao family Patriarch's position also isn't impossible to give to you!"
"All of the Tao family's resources will be yours!"
"Of course, nominally the Patriarch must be Yaoyao's, you assist her from behind, but this household is actually still run by your word!"
"She will listen to you in everything!"
"In the future your children, generations of descendants, will all be the Tao family Patriarchs!"
"How about it?"
She stared at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng looked at Tao Yaoyao: No way?
This matter of forming a fake Dao Companion bond, Tao Yaoyao hadn't even told Li Yueran, could it be that Li Yueran thinks they truly formed a Dao Companion bond?
Hiss hiss hiss... this girl, her mouth really is tight.
"Senior jokes!" He Pingsheng said: "First, I can only guarantee entering the top nine!"
"I cannot guarantee defeating Gongsun Kunlun!"
"Second, even if I can defeat Gongsun Kunlun, I may not necessarily be able to slay him!"
"Defeating and killing have a fundamental difference!"
"What's more, Gongsun Kunlun is the Gongsun family's future, he definitely has life-saving trump cards on him!"
"Third, on the day of the competition, Gongsun family people will definitely be present. Even if I butchered him, how would I have a way to survive?"
"Hehehe..." Hearing He Pingsheng's words, Li Yueren first let out a couple of hehe laughs, and said: "If you don't have this ability, then treat it as me not having said it!"
"But I can guarantee you, Gongsun family people will be present, this Palace will also be present!"
"After killing him, this Palace naturally can guarantee your safety!"
"Good!" He Pingsheng said: "I agree..."
Agree first, talk later.
When the time comes I just won't kill, I'll say I can't beat him, what can you do to me?
Anyway, need to get the Shakyamuni Divine Fruit in hand first.
"Daoist Friend He, you agreed!" Hearing He Pingsheng say this, Tao Yaoyao, who had been silent at the side, happily asked.
"Agreed!" He Pingsheng nodded.
The God King's attitude was very firm, disagreeing didn't seem like it would be easy to leave the Tao family.
The key is, there are definitely Gongsun family spies within the Tao family.
When the time comes I leave the Tao family and get intercepted by Gongsun family people, a big battle ensues, I kill a few, and form a death feud with the Gongsun family.
Since that's the case, might as well form the feud during the Grand Competition.
At least this way I can still get a Divine Fruit, right?
Calculating back and forth, this is the most cost-effective.
"Good!" Li Yueren laughed loudly, and said: "Three days later, our Tao family will hold a wedding ceremony for you and Tao Yaoyao!"
"Pfft..." He Pingsheng, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it all out: "No no no... that... Senior Li, this isn't needed!"
"Tao Yaoyao and I..."
Before a sentence was finished, Tao Yaoyao gently shook her head at He Pingsheng, signaling him not to speak the truth.
He Pingsheng could only correct himself: "The two of us, Yaoyao and I, don't want to be too high-profile!"
"How can that do?" Li Yueren said: "Yaoyao is my direct line descendant, the Tao family's legitimate daughter. Although she isn't the eldest daughter of this generation, she is the most noble one!"
"Moreover, the rules of the Peach Mountain Grand Competition are as such; holding such a grand ceremony on our part also serves to prove to other clans that your participation in the competition is legitimate!"
He Pingsheng nodded: "Fine, do as you wish!"
The Peach family wasn't bad; they gave He Pingsheng a separate great hall as his dojo, not far from Peach Yaoyao's dojo.
The ceremony will be held three days later.
It will be very grand.
After it ends, Peach Yaoyao will follow He Pingsheng to his temporary dojo.
The formation layers are being shut down one by one.
To outsiders, this appears as the newly formed Dao Companions performing the yin-yang principle.
But only the two of them know this is merely going through the motions.
"I've wronged you!" He Pingsheng also didn't know what to say.
With her dowry in place, Peach Yaoyao is stunningly beautiful, to the point of taking one's breath away; she shook her head: "Not wronged at all, everything is for the family!"
He Pingsheng said: "Peach Yaoyao, our agreement between the two of us remains the same as before!"
"You're doing this for the family's advancement, and also to repay what your aunt Peach Bifu owes me!"
"That is perfectly understandable!"
"I am doing this for the Shakyamuni Divine Fruit!"
"Between us, this is merely a transaction—do not take it to heart!"
"Hehe!" Peach Yaoyao laughed heartily: "Actually... I've always been mentally prepared for this; you don't need to comfort me, I'm fine!"
He Pingsheng continued: "The you see today is actually not my true self!"
"I possess a divine ability that can alter my appearance!"
"Even an upper deity of the God Emperor Realm seeing me would be unable to see through it!"
"So what you see now is merely a false image I conjured after using that divine ability!"
"Not my true form!"
"Ah?" Peach Yaoyao covered her small mouth in surprise: "Really? It's like that?"
"Then... husband, your true form is..."
"May I, your younger sister, take a look?"
He Pingsheng said: "Just an ordinary, unremarkable person—better not to look!"
"Moreover, since there are no outsiders here, you need not address me as husband..."
"Just call me Dao friend!"
"Good!" Peach Yaoyao nodded: "That's acceptable, He Dao friend... your name, at least, is truly yours, right?"
