Master of Strange Dao

Wang Zixuan opened his mouth as if to refute, but he was unsure of how to argue back.

Yu Ziqing picked up his teacup as a gesture.

"Let tea stand in for wine, a toast to you."

He found Wang Zixuan's transformation fascinating.

If it was the former Wang Zixuan, he would only act for profit, for his own safety, taking Long Bridge and those little black along.

But ever since he gained a human form, he liked to roam around, like a street rascal.

He enjoyed visiting brothels, listening to storytellers, hearing Jade Tablet, savoring gourmet food and drinking alcohol.

Now, he even developed some feelings from spending time with the little black, hoping to give them a good ending.

It was no longer merely to prevent the return of the slumbering one.

The starting point for achieving his goals had changed.

So, Yu Ziqing said he was becoming more and more like a human, not just possessing a human form.

Wang Zixuan seemed lost, deep in contemplation.

Yu Ziqing stood up, patting him on the shoulder.

"It's all good, trust me.

Come on, let's take a look outside, let you feel it.

The era hasn't just started changing, it has already changed."

Yu Ziqing led Wang Zixuan out of the small temple, outside the crowd was bustling, on the Execution Platform, the Executioner's Qi-Blood surging, like flames burning on his body.

In the heated atmosphere, a mouthful of strong liquor splashed onto the Magic Blade, with one swing, heads fell, the condemned dying completely and utterly.

The Yang-destroying Devil was steadfast in his duty, ensuring every condemned met a complete death.

At the same time, he was realizing the extreme beauty in that moment of crossing life and death, which others could not perceive.

Yu Ziqing found a spot on the second floor, where he had reserved seats, he sat with Wang Zixuan by the window, gazing at the execution, then turned to Wang Zixuan.

"You don't have to strictly divide everything, black or white.

In this world, very few things are truly black or white.

In most cases, they fall somewhere between black and white.

Building lasting balance cannot tolerate extreme black or extreme white.

Your thinking is still somewhat confined to the past Deities.

If what I say isn't clear, then you should go sense that one in the small temple yourself.

Feel what he is doing now."

Wang Zixuan looked at the Execution Platform, and then at the small temple, relaxed, to sense what exactly the Yang-destroying Devil was doing.

After a moment, Yu Ziqing asked him.

"Can you be sure if he's steadfast in his duty, or just to understand death? Choose one of the two."

Wang Zixuan thought for a moment, but found himself unsure.

"I'm not sure."

"Actually, it doesn't matter."

"Why?" Wang Zixuan was puzzled, suddenly understanding why so many people hated the Riddler of Dadui, he was simply vexing.

"Just watch what he does, it's not about choosing one or the other, he does both.

So, when I say you're like a human, you don't have to get tangled up in choosing one.

Are you considered a human? Or the previous Deity?

You can be both.

And being Wang Zixuan, that's the only truth."

Wang Zixuan was indeed confused about his identity, when he didn't think about it, he was carefree, but when he did, he became confused.

Now, watching the Yang-destroying Devil's actions, coupled with Yu Ziqing's words, Wang Zixuan nodded heavily, stood up, bowed to Yu Ziqing.

"Thank you for the guidance."

"This isn't guidance, I'm just enlightening you a bit, because what I'm saying, isn't to comfort you, it's indeed the truth."

Wang Zixuan laughed, poured Yu Ziqing a drink from the jug, raised his glass in a toast, and downed it in one gulp.

"Thanks, nonetheless."

The two didn't say anything more, just like the others, sitting by the window watching the beheadings.

It must be said, the Executioner in Jiachen City, their skill was truly high, even if the condemned was of Body Cultivation, they could decapitate in one swift slice with the Magic Blade, the cut smooth, killing instantly.

And as the blade passed, the huge scar didn't spew blood, the Execution Platform was clean, giving a unique aesthetic satisfaction to those with OCD.

Once today's beheadings were over, people started strolling, shopping in stores, setting up stalls in a specially cleared area beside.

Wang Zixuan withdrew his gaze from outside, turning to Yu Ziqing, with a serious expression.

"Could you find me a duty as well in the future?"

"Hmm?" Yu Ziqing was a bit surprised.

"You're right, however I think, I probably won't figure it out, I can't comprehend it, but if I go do it, I might personally gain insight."

"You also want a job like the Yang-destroying Devil?"

"Yes."

Yu Ziqing nearly laughed out loud, someone volunteering to work.

Yu Ziqing was easygoing, someone asking for help, of course he'd assist.

"Sure, arranging something is no problem, I still have some sway in Dadui.

But what kind do you want?"

"Is it really possible to get whatever I want arranged?" Wang Zixuan was a bit shocked.

"That certainly isn't possible, but if there's a suitable vacancy, we'll definitely prioritize you."

"Anything's fine, I just need a job."

"Alright, I'll take a look later."

This will require careful consideration.

Whether there was anyone like Wang Zixuan before, Yu Ziqing didn't know, he could ask someone later.

At least in his current knowledge, Wang Zixuan was indeed the first to be both a human and a Deity.

Before, Yu Ziqing didn't truly see Wang Zixuan as human, but now his internal change made him view him as one.

"I have a room in this inn, you should stay here for now, you didn't book in advance, and now you won't find one."

Yu Ziqing left Wang Zixuan, stepped out, instantly vanishing.

Returning to the palace city, Yu Ziqing took out the Long Bridge filled with little black, pondering for a long while.

He threw Long Bridge towards the Dao Court.
