681: Chapter 92 Tea and Methods
"Elder Brother Meng, the story of Xi Yao is a long one..."
After Jing Tian finished his long explanation, everyone present learned the story of Xi Yao and Feipeng.
Tang Xuejian, Zi Xuan, Hong Kui, Lan Kui, and Xu Maoshan couldn't help but sigh with emotion and sympathy.
Meng Li didn't have any particular reaction.
He already knew about Xi Yao and felt nothing toward her relationship with Feipeng. From his perspective, their relationship wasn't true love, but more like a special friendship born of mutual comfort.
If it had to be called love, it was only Xi Yao's one-sided devotion.
To Feipeng, it was at most "more than friendship, less than love."
Besides, perhaps because both were gods with long lifespans, they needed restraint.
Or perhaps it was the influence of the peaceful environment of the Divine Realm.
The interaction between Feipeng and Xi Yao was very plain, and their emotional expression was too calm.
Jing Tian and Tang Xuejian were the exact opposite; those two were too rowdy, representing two completely different extremes.
After sighing, Tang Xuejian got back to the point: "Stinky Tofu finished Xi Yao's story. How should we help him and Grandmaster Changqing find her?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at Meng Li.
Hong Kui, Lan Kui, Zi Xuan, and Xu Maoshan did the same.
Meng Li shrugged and said helplessly, "Don't look at me, think for yourselves."
"Elder Brother Meng, you possess great divine abilities and are resourceful. One thought of yours is worth a hundred of ours. You think faster and your ideas are definitely better." Lan Kui praised him with a smile, her eyes sparkling like crescent moons. Then she said coquettishly, "Just give us some advice."
As she spoke, she gently shook Meng Li's hand.
Meng Li: "..."
Where did this scent of "tea" come from?
He thought for a moment and remembered that in his first life, people online said Lan Kui was a bit "tea-ish."
However, "tea" is in the eye of the beholder.
Some find "Green Tea" annoying and repulsive.
Others prefer this style, seeing it not as "Green Tea" but as a gentle and considerate younger sister.
Meng Li belonged to the latter.
He liked this style now, so he didn't mind the hint of "tea." He pondered for a moment and said with a slight hesitation, "A solution... I have thought of one, but I'm not sure if it will work."
"What solution?" Hong Kui asked.
"Ahem." Meng Li cleared his throat and gave the answer from the original plot: "The solution is simple. Since Jing Tian and Daoist Xu can't find Xi Yao, they must make her appear voluntarily. The operation isn't hard: just let Jing Tian and a woman engage in some intimate behavior among those flowers."
After he finished, the scene fell silent.
After a moment, Xu Maoshan scratched his head and said, "Will that work?"
"It should work," Zi Xuan replied.
She explained: "From Jing Tian's description, Xi Yao clearly has romantic feelings for Feipeng. She became like this because she missed him too much and broke the Heavenly Laws. Jing Tian is Feipeng's Reincarnation, looking exactly like him."
"If Xi Yao sees Jing Tian being intimate with another woman, she will likely mistake him for Feipeng and feel jealous."
"A woman's jealousy is a terrifying thing."
"Driven by jealousy, if Xi Yao has the ability, she will most likely appear."
"Daoist Lord's method... although it exploits Xi Yao's feelings for Feipeng and is somewhat inappropriate in sentiment, it is highly feasible."
Unexpectedly, Tang Xuejian slapped the table and stood up: "No! Stinky Tofu is Stinky Tofu, and Feipeng is Feipeng. They aren't the same person. Xi Yao loves Feipeng so deeply, she'll definitely tell the difference. Besides, Stinky Tofu and I are in a relationship. How can he be all lovey-dovey with another woman?"
Meng Li was amused and hit the nail on the head: "That last sentence is the real point, isn't it?"
Tang Xuejian's Face turned red, but she spoke bluntly: "That's right, I just don't want Stinky Tofu getting close to other women. I'm jealous."
"So, Mr. Meng, let's find another way."
Lan Kui also said: "Elder Brother Meng, this method is indeed inappropriate. Not to mention Sister Xue Jian, my brother has no acquaintances in the Divine Realm. He can't just find any woman to be intimate with. That would be too rude, and she might not agree."
Meng Li followed her lead: "The problems you mentioned aren't without solutions."
He pointed at Tang Xuejian: "Just let her go to the Divine Realm and be the one to get close to Jing Tian."
"Huh?!"
Hong Kui, Lan Kui, and Tang Xuejian were all stunned.
They didn't expect Meng Li to say that, but thinking about it, it seemed feasible.
Even Tang Xuejian had no objection.
She'd be jealous if Jing Tian were close to another woman.
But if it were herself, she wouldn't be jealous, just a bit shy.
Because everyone present knew the situation.
However...
"Only Brother and Daoist Xu can enter the Divine Realm, and now the Heavenly Gates are closed. How can she get there?" Hong Kui pointed out the key issue.
Meng Li replied: "Going from the mortal world to the Divine Realm, the Heavenly Gate isn't the only way."
"What other way is there?" Xu Maoshan asked.
Meng Li held up one finger: "First, cultivate the Dao and ascend to the Divine Realm. Second, the Heavenly Emperor issues a decree and sends the God Race to the mortal world to fetch someone. Xue Jian can't achieve Ascension right now. So we can only try to have Jing Tian persuade the Heavenly Emperor to use the fetching method."
"Will that work?" Zi Xuan was a bit skeptical.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Meng Li, but persuading the Heavenly Emperor seemed very difficult.
"It will definitely work." Tang Xuejian clenched her fist and explained: "Stinky Tofu is Feipeng's Reincarnation. In the Divine Realm, Feipeng was not only the First Divine General but was also titled Great General. Among military officers, Great General is the highest position. The Heavenly Emperor should give him some Face."
Hearing this, Meng Li was secretly amused.
Before, she said Jing Tian is Jing Tian and Feipeng is Feipeng, but now she's using Feipeng's prestige for Jing Tian.
Truly fickle!
While complaining internally, he said: "Whether it works or not, let Jing Tian try and find out. If you have other ideas, you can also speak up."
The others didn't say anything.
Tang Xuejian took out the mystic light mirror and sent a message to Jing Tian: "Stinky Tofu, Mr. Meng thought of a way to find Xi Yao. But for this to work, I need to go to the Divine Realm. I need the Heavenly Emperor to send someone to fetch me, so find a way to talk to him and have him send someone for me."
After the message was sent, everyone discussed for a while longer. Finding no other way, they played cards and chess while waiting for Jing Tian's response.
They waited for half a month.
Half a month later, Jing Tian replied, saying he had persuaded the Heavenly Emperor to send a goddess down to fetch Tang Xuejian.
A few days later, a celestial phenomenon appeared, and a goddess descended.
Tang Xuejian was fetched to the Divine Realm by the goddess.
