Beginning of the Trial

"It's not manipulation. No need to pity your master."

The old man seemed to have seen through Su Ping's train of thought. He said, "Your master won't fall for the trap if he can resist the temptation. You have yourself to blame for most of the misfortunes that happen to you!"

"…"

Su Ping had no doubt that the old man was more complicated than Golden Lotus mentioned; he seemed to move around in a gray moral area. He was clearly aiding and abetting at the moment.

"I'll think about it. But I don't think we should try it on my master; I know just the perfect candidate."

Even though Shen Huang didn't tell him everything—as the man had placed hopes on Shuai Qianhou—Su Ping didn't hate him for that. After all, his master had truly helped him a lot.

If they had to pick a Deity King to allure, Su Ping thought of the Celestial expert from the Dark Star Zone who was supporting Lin Xiu.
