By the flickering candlelight, I vaguely saw that he was holding what seemed to be some food and water.
"How are you? Did you sleep well? Feeling any better?" The Sun Warrior Leader approached me, seemingly unaware of Wang Bin hiding in the cupboard. However, given that Wang Bin had just knocked over the food, the delicious aroma wafting through the room made it impossible for him not to notice.
I found this a bit strange but didn’t ask further. I simply replied, "My mood has improved a little, but I still can’t move my body."
"That's natural. Your bones are shattered; you're like a pile of mush right now. How could you possibly move? Come on, eat something first. I imagine you're hungry."
With that, the Sun Warrior Leader placed the food and water on a small table beside the bed. He added casually, "Someone brought you food earlier, but it looks like you didn’t get to eat it."
His nonchalant words made me feel that he might already know everything; he just hadn’t stated it outright.
After pondering this for a moment, I thought that he must have known about Er Ye's actions, so there was no need for me to hide it any longer.
With this in mind, I spoke up, "To be honest, someone did come to bring me food earlier, but Er Ye injured me."
The Sun Warrior Leader snorted lightly. "That's just his nature. He looks down on everyone except me—proud and arrogant..."
"He wants my position..." I interrupted him. "If I don’t give it up, he’ll harm my parents. You see this situation..."
The Sun Warrior Leader held a bowl and began to scoop some dishes into it without turning around. "This is just a title. He came to you because he was afraid I'd get angry, so he used you to send me a message. Since he's so fixated on it, let him have it. But..."
As he spoke, the Sun Warrior Leader slowly turned around, his expression darkening. "He definitely won’t let this go easily. Even if he gets your position, your parents will still be in danger. The three Void Gods here were killed by you all; aside from me, he was the strongest among them. But now my power is gone, and no one can stop him anymore."
"You mean even you can't protect my parents?!"
"Yes..." The Sun Warrior Leader nodded reluctantly.
"What about Yao Long? Where is he? I haven't seen him since I woke up," I pressed on.
"Just eat for now. After you're done, I'll explain everything to you." With that, the Sun Warrior Leader carefully fed me from the bowl of food.
At this moment, I felt more deeply that the seemingly brutal leader in front of me might not be as bad as I had imagined. Perhaps he had done those hurtful things to establish his position and image in the Yang Master. Or maybe those actions were not his doing at all, but rather the work of Er Ye!
As I pondered, I gradually let go of some of my resentment towards the Sun Warrior Leader.
After a while, having finished our meal, the Sun Warrior Leader placed his dishes down and sighed deeply. "I believe you understand the current situation here without me having to explain. Once Er Ye and my subordinates realize that I have lost my power, they will undoubtedly rebel. If they take control of Yang Master, the situation will spiral out of control... First, your friends and parents will surely die, and I won't escape unscathed either. Moreover, the marks on you and me will be exploited by Er Ye. If he gains that power, the consequences are unimaginable..."
"Therefore, I hope you and your friends can cooperate with me in putting on a show... Come in..."
With a call to enter, a figure stepped out from the shadows outside the door. It was Yao Long, whose upper garments were tattered and torn. Through the rips in his clothing, I could see that his left side was covered by the Worm King's armor, and his left hand, clad in that dark armor, tightly gripped the bow of Azure Spirit.
"Yao Long? Are you okay?" I asked anxiously.
Yao Long approached the candlelight, looking at me with a worried expression. "I'm fine; it's just that I heard your bones were all shattered, and because of the disappearance of Void Spirit's power, you can't recover."
I forced a brave smile. "Not all shattered; look at my Skull—it's perfectly fine! Otherwise, how could I talk to you?"
"You don't need to pretend; it was me who carried you out. I felt it at that time. Shen Xu... try to take it easy..." Yao Long's voice choked up.
I sighed and steadied my emotions before turning my gaze back to the Sun Warrior Leader. "About your plan earlier—how do you want us to cooperate with you?"
"It's quite simple..." said the Sun Warrior Leader. "What we need to do is create a conflict that shows Er Ye that I still have strength, making him hesitant to act."
"The specific plan is this: remember Er Ye gave you a deadline? When that time comes, I'll bring Er Ye and Yao Long over to discuss transferring your position to Er Ye. At that point, don't agree directly; instead, oppose it vehemently while I'll find a way to create conflict with you. Then you can order Yao Long to take you away."
"When that happens, I'll naturally intervene, and Yao Long just needs to deliberately lose to me at that moment."
After hearing this, I found it hard to believe. "Isn't this too simple? Doesn't Er Ye see the Void Spirit and power within you? Wouldn't it be easy for him to catch on?"
The Sun Warrior Leader chuckled softly. "Sometimes, not all schemes need to be complex; some seemingly simple strategies can succeed more easily. Do you remember our first encounter? Didn't you also fail to see my Void Spirit back then? In fact, my Void Spirit and power have always been hidden from view; it's not surprising that they went unnoticed."
Hearing the Sun Warrior Leader, I still felt a bit uncertain, but there was no better option at the moment, so I had no choice but to agree. I also asked for Yao Long's opinion.
Yao Long replied, "Isn't this planning usually your responsibility along with Mr. Death and Li Zhisheng? Since you've agreed, I have no further objections."
Seeing his response, I decided not to press him for more specific thoughts, and the plan was tentatively set.
The Sun Warrior Leader, satisfied that I had agreed, told me to rest well before he planned to leave. Just as he was about to step out the door, I suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to him, "By the way, Leader..."
The Sun Warrior Leader turned back, "Is there anything else?"
I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Earlier, you sent someone named Wang Bin to follow me. Could you let him leave Yang Master?"
To my surprise, the Sun Warrior Leader replied, "I can let him go, but if he leaves like this, it will only lead to his death. The soul implanted in him will eventually turn him into a monster, and I have no way to remove it. This was done by Er Ye..."
