Journey to the West: After the Great Sage listened to the advice, the three realms were all confused

Chapter 1242 I Can't Be Morally Blackmailed

At this moment, Yin Youyou expressed her opinion: "But the clues are already right in front of us. If we still hesitate and shrink back, wouldn't that be a bit petty?"

“But don’t you think what’s even stranger is that this thing appeared without us noticing at all?” Sun Wukong turned his attention to the card in Yin Youyou’s hand.

This thing certainly didn't appear out of thin air, yet it happened twice, without their knowledge, to appear in the documents that Sun Wukong casually picked up.

Sun Wukong did not believe that this was merely a coincidence.

Although the people present were not among the strongest, they were still quite sharp-witted and perceptive.

In other words, they should be able to detect any movement.

More important than whether the information on the card is true and trustworthy is whether the person who delivered the card can be trusted.

Sun Wukong expressed his concerns, the main idea being that caution is paramount; better safe than sorry.

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, Yin Youyou fell silent, which was unusual for her.

After thinking for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think you have a severe case of paranoia?"

"Aren't two consecutive notification cards enough to prove the stance of the person behind us who is helping us?"

In her opinion, the things Sun Wukong was worried about were completely unfounded and unnecessary.

Yin Youyou wasn't the only one who thought this way.

Pale, standing nearby, also felt that since things had come to this point, there was no need to dwell on the other party's position.

Although they did not know the authenticity of the card, or the stance of the card's owner.

But now, they really don't have any other choices.

If that's the case, then what's the point of worrying about it any further?

Seeing the two who had reached an agreement, Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow. "So, you're planning to investigate based on the contents of this card?"

Sun Wukong, however, had no objection to this.

If it's just the two of them, Cang Bai, venturing into dangerous situations, then any advice he, as an outsider, offers is essentially meaningless.

If that's the case, why should he bother acting like a petty person?

As soon as Sun Wukong said this, Pale shook his head and suddenly stared intently at Sun Wukong.

An ominous premonition welled up in Sun Wukong's heart: This guy is looking at me like that, could it be...?

As it turned out, Sun Wukong's premonition was correct.

Pale then said something in an attempt to drag Sun Wukong into this vortex.

He stared intently at Sun Wukong and said, "With Yin Youyou and my strength, we might cause some trouble, so I would like to ask you to come along."

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong refused: "No, it's already quite an achievement that I've investigated this far for you."

"That's all, only because of our past relationship. I don't want to get too involved in what happens next."

Moreover, the exact nature of that weapon, which is said to have reached the level of causality, is still unknown.

He had absolutely no need to risk his life to fulfill some so-called sense of loyalty.

To put it more simply, Sun Wukong and Pale were not yet at the point where they could risk their lives together.

Sun Wukong felt that he had done a good job of being pale.

Pale fell silent upon hearing these words.

He knew, of course, that Sun Wukong had no obligation to risk his life alongside them.

Pale sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous."

"I thought we were already friends, so I presumptuously tried to pull you into it."

Yin Youyou, standing to the side, glanced at Sun Wukong on this side, then at the pale-faced one on the other, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

No, are these two people toxic? Why are they making it seem like Sun Wukong has let Cang Bai down?

Lu Su was also watching the drama unfold.

The two of them were like badger in a melon patch, quietly waiting to see how the drama would unfold.

Completely unaware that there were two people watching the drama unfold beside him, Sun Wukong felt a slight throbbing in his forehead upon hearing Pale's words.

Sun Wukong shrugged, unimpressed by Pale words.

He bluntly said, "No, the more you say that, the more I feel like I'm being taken advantage of."

"If you think that only those who accompany you to explore the unknown can be considered your friends, then I have nothing to say."

Those pale words made Sun Wukong feel that the other party was morally blackmailing him.

Anyone with a moral compass here would likely have already been swayed.

But sorry to say, Sun Wukong doesn't consider himself a moral person.

Therefore, the offensive power of Pale's words is approximately zero.

Sun Wukong's blunt words left Cang Bai speechless; it seemed that playing the emotional card was no longer an option.

Since that's the case, we can only try to find another reason to get Sun Wukong to help.

Pale-faced, she lowered her eyes, expressing her regret indifferently, "Really? That's a real shame. I thought we were friends..."

"I was thinking that if you could join us, out of consideration for our friendship, it would be the best thing to entrust the weapon to you for safekeeping."

Pale paused here, deliberately glancing at Sun Wukong to see his reaction.

Just as he expected, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed with a hint of interest when he heard these words.

Although his interest wasn't very obvious, it at least meant that he had found the right direction.

Pale continued, "After all, Yin Youyou and I are not as strong as you."

"To be honest, who is qualified to keep that legendary weapon that has reached the level of causality?"

"The one with greater strength is definitely more qualified."

His words were essentially telling Sun Wukong that if he went with him, the weapon would definitely belong to Sun Wukong.

Lu Su understood the subtle hint and immediately became excited.

Although Pale said this to Sun Wukong.

But Sun Wukong is a member of his third guild.

Rounding it off, wouldn't that mean the weapon is practically his third guild's possession?

Lu Su rubbed his hands together excitedly. Sure enough, clinging to Sun Wukong was the most accurate choice he had ever made in his life.

“I think what he said makes a lot of sense. Why don’t you come along and take a look? In case the weapon is very powerful, you’ll have some room to defend yourself, right?” Lu Su winked at Sun Wukong.

If he weren't afraid to make a rash decision for Sun Wukong, he would have loved to step forward immediately and agree on Sun Wukong's behalf.

That's a weapon of causality! Getting it would be a huge windfall.
