I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

“So there was a hidden ‘three’ in the answers that seemed only to be one or two?”

Looking at it this way, my response to the Cursed Yin Evil God’s question, that “I know”…

No wonder I’m just a shadow.

No wonder he could rise from a shadow to become the master of the Yue Clan.

“Good!”

The Cursed Yin Evil God’s Face, at this moment, looked at Yue Gongli with a bit more closeness in its gaze.

Swish, swish…

But quickly, branches of the Di Ying Holy Plant began to wriggle violently from all directions.

The demonic purple pupil in the Cursed Yin Evil God’s Face also gradually became indifferent.

Even Hua Yuan, who had only a soul body left, could feel the atmosphere on site dropping back to freezing point—Yue Gongli’s hard-won closeness, gone!

What happened?

Before he could think further, Yue Gongli prostrated devoutly and confessed,

“Junior Xu Xiaoshou, deserves ten thousand deaths!”

“Previously, the junior did not recognize the Cursed Yin True God above nor recognized that the Ancestor Tree Di Ying Holy Plant branches were practitioners for the Cursed Yin True God, and has caused offense.”

“But upon realizing the existence of the power of the Cursed… Cursed Yin, the junior has understood three parts, and offered up a Dao Infant that balanced the Power of Three Ancestors perfectly. May I inquire if the Cursed Yin True God received the junior’s gift?”

Hiss—

As soon as the words were spoken, from the Nine Heavens came shriek after shriek of agony.

A large number of Ancestor Tree branches suddenly withered and fell from the void, piling up like mountains on the ground.

“This is possible?”

Hua Yuan was horrified.

He wasn’t foolish and deduced some truth from the outcome:

The Di Ying Holy Plant had met Yue Gongli, and after listening to his words, it had just remembered something, perhaps about to discuss this human that it had some impression of.

Maybe recognizing that Yue Gongli was from the Holy Divine Palace, from the Holy Ancestors, or maybe directly saying that Yue Gongli was not Xu Xiaoshou but actually Yue Gongli…

Who would have thought, Yue Gongli himself, with just the movement of a branch, detected the clues and took decisive action, acting first and reporting later.

Regardless of what the Di Ying Holy Plant wanted to say!

She swallowed the Dao Infant, that’s a fact.

In the eyes of the evil god, amongst all things under heaven, which one, which matter, could outweigh the importance of possessing the perfect balance of the Power of Three Ancestors for Herself?

Thus, it was not Yue Gongli, who had offered gifts and paid the friendship fee, that was punished, but the Di Ying Holy Plant that had privately swallowed the treasure!

“And from this, it can be discerned…”

“The relationship between the Cursed Yin Evil God and the Di Ying Holy Plant is not as simple as the symbiotic one Yue Gongli mentioned; it should be a master-servant relationship.”

“A presumptuous servant, who secretly consumed the owner’s gift—if she hadn’t been somewhat useful, wouldn’t she have lost her life with this punishment?”

Hua Yuan felt inferior and was about to remind Yue Gongli about this when he stopped himself.

What am I presuming to do?

The evil god’s punishment of the Di Ying Holy Plant was Yue Gongli’s own doing, his own method; couldn’t he see these messages for himself?

Of course, Yue Gongli saw the master-servant relationship, and while the sincerity of the offering still lingered, hurriedly pointed toward the Yin Coffin:

“This is my servant Hua Yuan, we indeed recognize Hallmaster Dao… and of course, we roughly know where he is.”

Seeing something odd in the Evil God’s Face, Yue Gongli hastily added another sentence, then said,

“He’s not very talkative. He previously did not recognize the Cursed Yin above and caused offense, I hope the Cursed Yin True God will spare his life.”

Why single me out?

Hua Yuan initially felt betrayal, then became absolutely alarmed, realizing the other party was the evil god!

I’m just a broken physique, bowing over the Yin Coffin, fortunately thinking I’ve deceived it—useful?

Unless the evil god disdained me, it might have easily erased me on a whim.

Yue Gongli was not betraying; pointing out the self-deceiving me was truly an act of self-preservation.

Sure enough…

“Good.”

The Cursed Yin Evil God’s Face nodded, and Hua Yuan felt an immense relief as the aura of death surrounding his soul body dissipated.

How powerful…

How exactly did the Holy Emperor of the Yue Clan raise these successors?

Actually, on a normal day, Hua Yuan could indeed have done what Yue Gongli just did, and even surpassed him.

But under the pressure of the Ancestral God, to remain so collected…

With such a strong heart, Hua Yuan thought to himself, if he had possessed one, maybe Sword Deity Hua’s thirty years of self-imposed restraint in the Land of Screen and Candles would have seen the Hua Family change masters long ago.

“Ha!”

No more hesitation.

Hua Yuan’s soul body appeared, kneeling on one knee, devoutly saying,

“Cursed Yin above, Hua Yuan pays respect!”

Worshipping the Ancestral God was not shameful.

But not understanding the rules of worshiping an Ancestral God was very shameful.

Before the Ancestor of Sorcery, one shouldn’t mention “evil god;” in the presence of an evil god, one can only mention “Cursed Yin”… in a nutshell: accompany a lord as one would a tiger.

It doesn’t matter what you truly believe in, but if you misspeak even a word in the moment, saying “Ancestor of Sorcery above” or “evil god above.”

Ten thousand Yue Gonglis couldn’t save your life.

Indeed, the Cursed Yin Evil God’s Face wasn’t interested in Hua Yuan; it spared this human because another human proposed a deal.

Knowing where Hallmaster Dao is, that was enough.

No need for more words, just a fixed stare from those purple pupils, and Yue Gongli shuddered, thinking to himself: I’m sorry, Hallmaster Dao, I’m responsible for leading the way, you handle the Cursed Yin Evil God, then he said aloud,

“Hallmaster Dao was indeed not in the Divine Relics before, but during my time entering the Fate Temple, he must have set foot in the Divine Relics and angered the True God… This fiend has committed a mortal sin, unforgivable, and truly deserves clan execution!”

Yue Gongli rose to his feet as he spoke, pretending to sweep the area with a saint’s will, relieving himself from the awkward half-kneeling posture, and analyzed seriously:
