Chapter 1249 Pale Defenses
Upon hearing this answer, Pale Bai subtly shifted his gaze away, but inwardly he was analyzing the meaning behind Sun Wukong's words.
He's using sophistry.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the other party's identity. It seems that Sun Wukong has indeed been hiding a lot of things!
Sun Wukong lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced casually at Pale, who seemed to be thinking about something.
He was indeed sophistry.
And he also knew that Pale was definitely aware of this, but so what?
There is absolutely no evidence to support the claim that the paleness is the cause of this.
He also didn't intend to tell anyone that he had taken the chip from the weapon.
With this in mind, Sun Wukong closed his eyes again, calmly awaiting the arrival of rescue.
And so they waited until the next day.
The moment they sensed that the passage outside had been opened, Sun Wukong and Cangbai immediately widened their eyes and rushed towards the passage at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, having finally found the switch and opened the dark passage, he hesitated, wondering whether to go in and look for someone.
"Hey, are you two still alive? Pale?"
She tried calling out to those inside, hoping to see if anyone was still alive.
The next second, she felt a gentle breeze and saw Sun Wukong and Pale appear outside the passage.
The moment Sun Wukong emerged, he took a deep breath, seemingly enjoying the fresh air.
Then, he spoke to Yin Youyou beside him, saying, "I didn't expect you to arrive so punctually! We're so grateful to you this time, otherwise we would have been trapped inside."
Seeing this, Pale didn't back down either: "Thank you."
Yin Youyou waved her hand, "That's nothing. The important thing is, did you get the weapons? Can you lift the curse on us?"
Upon hearing this, Pale and Sun Wukong fell silent.
Although they didn't utter a word, Yin Youyou had already sensed something from their behavior.
In fact, even if Sun Wukong and the others didn't say anything, Yin Youyou had a rough guess about the current situation.
He spoke in a gloomy, dry voice:
"It seems you didn't succeed, did you? Sigh, you can tell from the fact that the casualty rate has increased rather than decreased since that day. It seems that the weapon couldn't lift the curse on us either."
Her intention was to comfort Sun Wukong and the other man, but after she spoke, she realized that her words sounded so inappropriate.
Just as Yin Youyou couldn't help but ponder how to make amends, Cangbai chimed in.
"Actually... just when we were about to get that weapon, a group of uninvited guests snatched it away, and it fell into their hands, so..."
Pale paused here, seemingly quite troubled by this.
"Huh? You mean there's another group that found this place?" Yin Youyou was stunned when she heard this.
Sun Wukong chimed in, feigning distress: "I was surprised too, and they didn't know what method to use quickly, so I couldn't find them at all."
However, after hearing these words, Pale, whether intentionally or not, let out a cold laugh.
He stared at Sun Wukong meaningfully and said, "That's true. After all, pretending to be stupid is quite a test of skill."
Sun Wukong's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this.
It was as if one couldn't hear the pale, sarcastic tone coming from within.
Although Yin Youyou had no idea what had happened inside, upon hearing Cang Bai's words, she looked at Sun Wukong with a more scrutinizing gaze.
However, given the current situation, he did not choose to directly break ties with Sun Wukong.
Yin Youyou smoothed things over, saying, "Alright, alright, let's talk about the details when we get back!"
"What if those mysterious people are hiding somewhere observing our reaction? Wouldn't that be embarrassing us in front of the enemy?"
Pale fell silent upon hearing this, seemingly reluctantly acknowledging what Yin Youyou had said.
Sun Wukong simply let it go in one ear and out the other, not taking it seriously at all.
Later that day, the three of them successfully returned to the Third Guild from the former site of the Pure Guild.
……
"Hey, you're back?"
Upon learning of Sun Wukong and his companions' return, Lu Su immediately prepared for battle.
However, when he saw Sun Wukong and the other two return empty-handed, a sense of unease began to rise in his heart.
He looked at the people present with some reluctance.
Upon discovering that the weapon that should have been in Sun Wukong's hand was indeed nowhere to be found, the disappointment on his face could no longer be concealed.
"So, you didn't find that weapon?" Lu Su asked, trying to sound alert, "What exactly happened to Sun Wukong and the others? How did things go wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Pale glanced at Sun Wukong and said calmly, "Suddenly, a group of uninvited guests came and robbed the things. He didn't seem very surprised and didn't chase after them immediately."
That's a rather subtle statement.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Sun Wukong and those uninvited guests were in cahoots and deliberately cooperated to steal the weapon!
Hearing this, Sun Wukong shrugged: "After all, you were clearly injured at that time, Pale White. I couldn't abandon your safety for the sake of a weapon."
Pale suppressed his anger and tried to remain calm: "That's not an ordinary weapon. What's the difference between you and personally giving that weapon to someone else?"
“I trusted you, which is why I went with you to get the weapon, but you missed such a good opportunity because of unnecessary soft-heartedness.”
However, Sun Wukong felt that every word the other person said was telling others that the other person's defenses had been breached.
Sun Wukong continued, "Do you think the masked man who was able to follow us and find that secret room without our knowledge could be an easy opponent?"
Pale fell silent upon hearing this.
Indeed, in terms of individual strength, he was only slightly stronger than the opponent. However, the opponent's origins were a mystery, and the fact that they were fighting in groups allowed the opponent to succeed.
But if Sun Wukong hadn't dropped his weapon at the crucial moment due to unfounded concerns, those people definitely wouldn't have left so easily with their weapons.
So, in the end, the problem still lies with Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong glanced at the pale face and knew what the man was thinking.
He didn't mind and tried his best to recount everything that happened in the secret room in an impartial manner.
Of course, he still concealed the parts that needed to be concealed.
Sun Wukong spread his hands and said helplessly, "...In short, as far as I can see, this is what happened at that time."
"Although Pale cannot accept my actions, I still have to say that I have a clear conscience."
"If I really let these pale lives go unchecked, what kind of person would I be?"
