I realized I couldn't argue with these girls; I was no match for them!

To escape as quickly as possible, I had to go find Jiang Junci.

When I found him, he was already drunk out of his mind, practically passed out on the table.

When Jiang Junci saw me, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and slurred, "Li Po, you bastard, you're here? Come on, drink with me!"

"How much did you drink to get like this?" I sat down across from him. "Shijie, get him some hangover soup, or he'll puke all over us in a minute."

"I don't want hangover soup, I want to drink!" Jiang Junci poured me a wobbly glass of wine. "Li Po, I'll tell you the truth, I really don't like you."

I chuckled. "Thanks. If some guy liked me, my hair would stand on end!"

Jiang Junci didn't seem to hear me. He went on, "You... don't deserve to be a master! Don't deserve to be a Coffin Gate disciple."

"If you have a grudge, come at me fair and square! I, Jiang Junci, won't be ambiguous with you!"

"But you schemed against me!"

"Last time on Snow Mountain, you schemed against me!"

"This time in Tacheng, you still schemed against me!"

"I'm asking you, was it you who took me away? Was it you? Tell me!"

I was about to speak when Chen Shuyu gave me a look, meaning someone was watching nearby!

I laughed. "It was me! I'm the one who put you and Zhu Zining together."

"I heard you practiced dual cultivation secret arts and were looking for a suitable cauldron. So I found you an antique ding (ancient cooking vessel), to help you reach the peak! Hurry up and thank me!"

"Bullshit!" Jiang Junci slammed the table and cursed. "I know you're scheming against me, you just won't admit it."

"I just don't have any evidence. If I did, I'd kill you right now!"

Jiang Junci was beyond saving!

If I were in his shoes, what evidence? I'd beat you until you spat out the evidence.

I chuckled. "I heard that eating too much old ginger can cause problems with your brain. Looks like that's about where you're at!"

"Get out!" Jiang Junci slapped at me, but I easily blocked it.

Jiang Junci was indeed drunk, his movements had no strength at all, and it wasn't an act.

After I pushed him away, Jiang Junci leaned back in his chair, tears streaming down his face. "How many times have I said it? I didn't do anything with Zhu Zining. But nobody believes me, nobody believes me!"

"I..."

I smiled. "Brother, does it matter if others believe you? You only need two people to believe you!"

"One is Zhu Zining herself. Just don't let her get pregnant and come looking for you to take responsibility, that would be a joke!"

"The other is Wang Xiaohuan! She has to believe you!"

"Let me put it this way! There are plenty of people buying second-hand houses these days. But before buying, they always want to know about the previous owner, right? Well..."

Jiang Junci was even more upset. "Why did Wang Xiaohuan join your Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)? I told her a long time ago that Liangjie Tang was not to be entered... This time, I'm in deep trouble!"

"Exactly!" I slammed the table. "If you ask me, Wang Xiaohuan should give you at least ten kids!"

I had barely finished speaking when Wang Tu Fu (Butcher Wang) almost slapped the table.

I quickly looked up. "Hey buddy, there's something I've always been curious about!"

"If you two hadn't been kidnapped, would you have been able to start a war with the Reincarnation Department? Tell me the truth!"

"Yes!" Jiang Junci slurred. "Do you know how much I paid to find out about Badger's whereabouts?"

"Seven elite Anyingtang (Dark Shadow Hall) disciples died!"

"Do you know how much effort the Coffin Gate put into training those disciples?"

"My two Tianya Wei (Horizon Guards) squads are already on standby on both sides of Tacheng. All it takes is my order, and we'll fight the Reincarnation Department to the end!"

I roughly understood why Xie Bangui (Half-Ghost Xie) wanted me to trick Jiang Junci at this time.

The top masters of the Po Jun lineage are all ghost-gods. Once they fight with the Reincarnation Department, Jiang Junci and the others will definitely suffer if the ghost-gods don't come out.

More importantly, the Reincarnation Department is holding the moral high ground, talking about the rules. If Jiang Junci makes a move, the Qi Sha (Seven Killings) lineage has no reason to get involved and can only watch the Coffin Gate suffer.

My intervention makes it so that neither side is completely unreasonable, but they both have reason.

The Qi Sha lineage can justifiably step in and give the Reincarnation Department a good beating, and it will be easier to clean up afterwards.

The previous generation of the Coffin Gate are all old foxes!

Too bad for Jiang Junci, the little newbie!

I deliberately knocked on the table. "Don't give me that useless talk. I'm just asking you, in the end, can you turn against the Reincarnation Department for Wang Xiaohuan?"

Jiang Junci answered irrelevantly, beating his chest. "Li Po, I'm telling you, sometimes, I'm really envious of you."

"You don't have a sect, you don't consider too much, you do what you want, you fight when you want, but I can't!"
