Chapter 1318
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, Yao Guangxiao fell silent; he certainly knew why.
It's simply because he still has some value to be used; otherwise, it wouldn't have been Ma who was killed earlier, but him.
"Since death is inevitable, why does the Duke of Zhenguo think that I will reveal what you want to know before I die?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu showed no surprise; instead, a smile appeared on his face.
"Because the master is a smart person, and a smart person will not do stupid things, such as deliberately getting tormented by others when there is nothing to do."
"In the end, it will all have to be said eventually. Fools will insist, but smart people know that even if they are going to die, they should suffer less."
Yao Guangxiao looked at Wei Wu with a calm gaze, and after a long while, he smiled slightly and said:
“Amitabha Buddha, Duke Zhenguo has forgotten that I am a monk. My flesh and blood are just a shell, but my steadfast Buddhist heart can save me from the sea of suffering in this world.”
"Or does Your Excellency, the Duke of Zhenguo, believe that I can be persuaded to speak willingly by resorting to some severe torture? If so, you may give it a try."
Seeing the calmness on Yao Guangxiao's face, Wei Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a long time.
The two stared at each other as if they were competing to see who had better willpower, but in reality it had nothing to do with willpower at all.
Wei Wu was simply thinking about how to respond to Yao Guangxiao's words, while Yao Guangxiao was calculating in his mind what choice Wei Wu would make.
According to Yao Guangxiao's understanding, Wei Wu was a relatively rational person; otherwise, he wouldn't have broken so many of his own plans.
A rational person would not make an impulsive decision, so in his view, Wei Wu would most likely not choose to torture him.
Instead, they try to find other ways to make themselves comply. If that's the case, then there's still a possibility of negotiation.
Of course, these were all Yao Guangxiao's own guesses, but unfortunately he guessed wrong this time, or rather, he didn't understand Wei Wu well enough.
Wei Wu was usually quite rational, but at times he could also be very impulsive.
So after a few minutes of silence, Wei Wu suddenly grinned and said something.
"I admire Buddhist monks the most, and I have always wanted to see what a true master is like."
"Master Daoyan is a highly accomplished person of our time. In that case, I would be grateful if Master Daoyan could broaden my horizons!"
As he spoke, Wei Wu turned around and raised his hand, first pointing at Zhang Hai, and then at Shen Lin in the driver's seat.
"Although they are my guards, they both came from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and they are not very proficient in the methods of the Imperial Prison."
"But they do have some ability, so let them take action and see if the master's steadfast Buddhist heart can overcome the sea of suffering!"
After saying those two simple sentences, Wei Wu didn't even glance at Yao Guangxiao before turning around and walking straight to the passenger seat.
At the same time, Zhang Hai reached out and grabbed Yao Guangxiao's arm, and Shen Lin also got up from the driver's seat and walked over.
Seeing Shen Lin and Zhang Hai's actions, Yao Guangxiao frowned, a hint of a sigh flashing in his eyes.
"I understand. I won't hide anything from you."
Although Yao Guangxiao said that, Shen Lin and Zhang Hai did not stop what they were doing, and Shen Lin had already come to his side.
Like Zhang Hai, Shen Lin also grabbed Yao Guangxiao's arm, and then the two of them lifted him into the air at the same time.
The reason why the two continued fighting even after Yao Guangxiao had spoken was simple: Wei Wu had not yet spoken.
What Yao Guangxiao says is Yao Guangxiao's business. Shen Lin and Zhang Hai only listen to Wei Wu. Without his orders, no one else can do anything.
As for what the two are doing now, it is certainly not as simple as just lifting Yao Guangxiao up.
In fact, after lifting Yao Guangxiao up, both of their arms were exerting force, but in different directions.
Under normal circumstances, if a person's arm is twisted, they can alleviate the pressure slightly by rotating their body.
