Mysteries of Immortal Puppet Master

“I just want to see how you perform.”

“It’s not that I truly wish for your incorporation.”

“Honestly, adding you country bumpkins to the mix, I’ll have to spend much effort convincing my own officers here.”

“But since you have chosen to follow me, naturally, you must demonstrate your loyalty.”

“If you don’t pledge allegiance to me, why should I go against Du Tiechuan for your sake?”

Liu Er fell silent, for a long time he did not speak.

After a moment, he then cupped his hands together and bowed deeply: “Shuangjing, my two sworn brothers and I rise and fall together. I am confident in persuading them to join you as well.”

“But our military advisor is from a prestigious family, has always invested heavily to sustain the Three Generals Camp.”

“In fact, without him, our resources would never have reached the state they are in today.”

“Also, he has fought alongside us and shares a profound camaraderie.”

“If I were to scheme against him, would that not be repaying kindness with malice?”

Shuangjing snorted coldly: “Liu Er, you should slap your own face! Are you implying that throwing your lot in with me is scheming against Ning Zhuo?”

“To join under my command, is it such a contemptible act?”

“To the point of repaying kindness with enmity?”

Liu Er hurriedly pleaded guilty.

Shuangjing’s gaze was icy as he surveyed Liu Er from head to toe: “Now, I give you two choices.”

“The first choice, you agree to my last request and do as told. Forget about the Heavy Armor, I can even arrange for you to enter the court as an official later on.”

“The second option, you refuse me. Although you’ve wasted my time and emotions, I will not trouble you. Slap yourself thirty times, and I’ll forgive you; then you can just roll back to where you came from.”

Liu Er was silent for a while, before suddenly lifting his right palm, ruthlessly striking his own cheek.

Slap slap slap…

He didn’t pause, indeed striking himself thirty times in a row, until his cheeks swelled red and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
