Chapter 84 There is one more way
"Disciple understands!"
In the blink of an eye, Feng Bugui understood this approach.
"Now that the secret manual that Master was in charge of has been taken away, there are only two left in the sect, and Elder Wei happens to have one of them."
"Then he could easily manipulate things in secret, preventing others from understanding the meaning behind it."
"Not bad!" Nodding, Luo Wanju continued, "Bu Gui, you should also know that once a secret manual is seen, it will leave a mark on the person."
"Therefore, even if this 'Falling Feathers Through Flowers' manual falls into Wei Banchu's hands, he cannot look at it, much less tamper with it."
"He can only see his own copy, and he can only tamper with his own copy. Therefore, taking the manual with him and leaving becomes the best option."
"In this way, there will only be two books left in the sect. If Wei Banchu's disciple has already comprehended the one in his hand, he can tamper with it without restraint, and no one else will be able to comprehend it after seeing it."
"In this way, once one's own disciple comprehends the meaning of another book, he will naturally become the successor."
"But Wei Banchu probably never expected that the Grand Elder's disciple, Luo Chuan, had also learned two kinds of intent."
"Besides the secret manual of mechanisms in the hands of the Grand Elder, I have also comprehended the meaning of the Falling Feathers Through Flowers technique here."
"What? Junior Brother Luo has also mastered two kinds of intent? But why...?"
"Why did you never know? Why was this matter never spread within the Illusionary Heart Sect?" Luo Wanju smiled and said with a hint of relief.
"Luo Chuan is a good boy. Not to mention you, even the Grand Elder might not know about this. As the sect leader, I only found out by chance."
"Because he doesn't want to compete with you, the sect leader's eldest disciple, that's why he's hiding himself."
"So Luo Chuan also has a chance in the current competition for the sect leader's succession." But when he said this, Luo Jusheng hesitated again.
Feng Bugui immediately understood and said, "Master is worried that Wei Banchu may have a backup plan."
"Indeed, Wei Banchu always plans carefully before acting. Perhaps he also considered that someone might comprehend both meanings. In that case, even if Luo Chuan possesses both meanings, his chances are slim."
"Until the very last step, no one knows what his backup plan is."
"If Luo Chuan really loses, the Illusionary Heart Sect will fall into Wei Banchu's hands. I really dare not think about what will happen then?"
Luo Wanju's hands searched Feng Bugui's body again, her voice tinged with apprehension, "Bugui, what exactly are the extent of your injuries? Is there any chance of recovery?"
"If you want to prevent him from becoming the heir, only you have the right to do so. Once you clear your name, he will have no right to compete with you!"
"Master, your disciple is incompetent!" He tried hard to shake his wrist, but could only move it slightly, and each movement brought excruciating pain.
Then, Feng Bugui said bitterly, "My tendons in my hands and feet have been severed. Even if I can clear my name, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover in a short time."
"What should we do? Is our Illusionary Heart Sect really going to fall into Wei Banchu's hands?"
"Master, is there really no other way?"
"The only thing we can do now is to leave it to fate!" Luo Wanju sighed deeply, her voice filled with sorrow and even a hint of despair.
"Perhaps this calamity was destined for my Illusionary Heart Sect; it is my incompetence as its leader!"
"If the Illusionary Mind Gate truly perishes because of this, how can I face my ancestors? How can I have the face to live on in this world!"
"Master, Master, please don't worry. Actually, there's another way!"
At this moment, Feng Bugui suddenly spoke up, "I remember you told me about the unity of the three elements!"
"If someone can comprehend all three intents simultaneously before the age of forty, they can achieve the unity of the three elements and directly surpass everyone else to become the sole successor to the sect leader!"
"This is the ironclad rule of my Illusionary Heart Sect. No one may obstruct or violate it."
"The integration of the three elements is easier said than done!" He shook his head and immediately rejected Feng Bugui's idea.
"The idea of not returning can actually lead to conflict between different interpretations. It's easy to grasp one meaning, but once you've grasped one meaning, it becomes extremely difficult to grasp another."
"And to comprehend the third meaning is even more difficult, like ascending to heaven; you should be well aware of that!"
"Even if Luo Chuan is a genius, he simply cannot achieve this in a short time!"
"But what if we use the Illusionary Mind Technique, Master? I remember you once said something like that!"
"Illusionary Mind Technique? Bu Gui, could it be that you intend to..." Realizing Feng Bu Gui's meaning immediately, Luo Wanju shook her head resolutely, saying, "No, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"Master, this is the only chance!" Seeing that Luo Wanju seemed somewhat stubborn and unwilling, Feng Bugui immediately struggled to kneel down.
"Master, you once said that the meaning in those secret manuals was left behind using the technique of illusion."
"While the other two techniques require cultivation on one's own, this Illusionary Mind Technique has a shortcut."
"A master of Illusionary Mind Techniques has the ability to forcibly strip away the essence of the technique they have just grasped and transfer it to another person!"
"Master, I have only just grasped the Illusionary Mind Technique. Junior Brother Luo, on the other hand, is precisely lacking the essence of the Illusionary Mind Technique."
"I remember that Master secretly boasted to his disciple more than a year ago that your Illusionary Mind Technique has reached its peak, and that would completely satisfy the conditions."
"Not returning is absolutely unacceptable; it will cause you irreparable harm!"
"Master!" Feng Bugui said earnestly, his head hitting the ground heavily. "My tendons in my hands and feet have all been severed. Even if they can be healed, I'm afraid I won't be able to use my full strength."
"This body would be a waste for me to possess; I might as well contribute more to my Illusion Heart Sect."
"If Junior Brother Luo can obtain the essence within me, he can unify the three elements and become the rightful successor to the sect leader, unshakeable by anyone."
"Master, for the sake of the entire Illusionary Heart Sect, and for you, Master, this disciple is willing!"
"How can this be? Absolutely not!" Even after saying this much, Luo Wanju still shook her head and refused.
"Besides, even if I were willing now, we wouldn't be able to contact Junior Nephew Luo!"
"Master, what if I had a way to contact the outside world?" At this point, Feng Bugui slammed his head heavily onto the ground again. "Please, Master, consider the future of my Illusionary Heart Sect!"
"You can contact the outside world? Well, okay!"
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Wanju finally said with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry you had to go through with this!"
"Master, I am not wronged, but I don't know how to convince Junior Brother Luo?"
"That's not difficult. After I stumbled upon Junior Nephew Luo comprehending two meanings, I often gave him pointers. Although we are not master and disciple, we do have some affection for each other."
"We actually agreed on a code word. As long as we find a way to pass it on to him, he will definitely believe it."
"Disciple understands!" Kneeling on the ground and having memorized the code, Feng Bugui then quietly contacted him outside using the method given to him by Shen Che.
He believed that the master of Hidden Sword Manor must be outside at this time.
"Master Shen, I'm begging you!"
"Sure!" Shen Che's voice rang out as he expected, but then he asked, "How much of what your master said do you believe?"
Feng Bugui inside didn't speak again, responding to Shen Che with silence. His silence itself spoke volumes.
Shen Che smiled and disappeared into the dimly lit corridor.
