Chapter 1253 The Pale Acting
Unfortunately, Sun Wukong could only exploit one or two loopholes.
Moreover, these are all weak excuses that can be used to justify Sun Wukong overthinking things.
The claim of providing solid evidence is unfounded; there is simply no evidence whatsoever.
Sun Wukong sighed softly and looked at Lu Su seriously, saying, "If it really doesn't work, then just consider me talking nonsense, Guild Master!"
"After all, it's just a tiny, insignificant premonition of mine; whether it actually happened is another matter."
Lu Su's eyes widened as he looked at the dejected Sun Wukong.
He hadn't known about this speculation before, so that was fine.
Now that he knows, he certainly can't pretend nothing happened.
"Don't worry, since you put it that way, let's have someone secretly keep an eye on Pale and see what he's up to."
Lu Su immediately gave his guarantee.
If all of this was fabricated, then the other party's goal is very likely that they want that weapon.
Both for his own sake and for his own, he should prevent the pale conspiracy from succeeding.
He believed that Sun Wukong's judgment was not unfounded, and that Cang Bai needed to be closely monitored.
However, before Lu Su could find a suitable target to keep an eye on Pale.
Meanwhile, Pale was already thinking about how to maintain contact with the Third Guild.
Although Sun Wukong had clearly set his sights on him and did not believe what he said.
But so what? As long as he can gain Lu Su and the others' trust, it doesn't matter if Sun Wukong alone doesn't believe him.
At worst, we can find a way to lower Sun Wukong's reputation later.
It is believed that, faced with Sun Wukong, whose credibility is extremely low, and themselves, the victim who was unjustly framed, the members of the Third Guild will make the more accurate choice.
With this thought in mind, Pale White was already working on his mind, but on the surface, he put on a patient and earnest act to persuade Yin Youyou.
Yin Youyou, who has always been accused of being too impulsive, looked at Cang Bai, who was full of concern for her own good, and couldn't say anything harsh.
But she absolutely could not bring herself to go back and apologize.
So, despite several hours of pale persuasion, he was unable to get Yin Youyou to give in.
He could only act as a mediator, easing tensions between them and the Third Guild.
To avoid arousing Yin Youyou's suspicion, Cang Bai even contacted Sun Wukong in front of Yin Youyou, wanting to apologize to him.
Upon receiving the call from the pale-faced sender, Sun Wukong initially had no intention of answering.
After all, based on his understanding of this person, he knew the other party was definitely up to no good.
However, in the end, Sun Wukong's curiosity prevailed, and after hesitating for a while, he answered the call.
"So what are you doing this for?" Sun Wukong preemptively asked Pale on the other end what kind of trick he was playing.
On the other side, Pale, after hearing these words, very decisively apologized to Sun Wukong.
He began his performance.
Pale-faced and full of apology, he said to Sun Wukong, "I'm so sorry, we were a bit too impulsive before. I hope you don't mind..."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised, "Are you being sincere, or..."
He thought Pale was coming to provoke him, but it turned out she was actually apologizing.
Could it be that he was too petty before?
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong shook his head. No, absolutely not. Pale must have another purpose.
Thinking of this, Sun Wukong became even more cautious, warning himself not to fall for Cangbai's trick.
Pale spoke quite sincerely to Sun Wukong: "Of course I mean it. The conflict with you before was entirely because I was unhappy about not being able to find that weapon soon."
"Actually, I am very grateful to you and to the Third Guild. I shouldn't have lost my temper. I'm sorry."
At least, judging from these words, Sun Wukong is completely without fault.
Although he didn't know what Pale was up to, Sun Wukong wasn't intimidated at all and readily said it was fine.
Sun Wukong said casually, "...Hey, I can understand your anxiety. After all, losing that thing is no small matter, so it's normal for you to be anxious..."
"But we're out of options now, because of the curse on you..."
Finally, Sun Wukong tentatively asked Pale White for his opinion on the curse.
Sun Wukong thought that Pale would reveal something about the curse, but he didn't expect the other party to be so slippery.
Even after Sun Wukong had said all that, the other party still pretended to be stupid, acting as if they knew nothing.
Pale words were spoken with perfect precision: "That curse... perhaps this is our fate. There is no other way but to accept it, is there?"
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to locate those masked men and get their weapons. That should lift the curse on us."
Hearing these words made Sun Wukong's teeth ache terribly.
Just then, he suddenly heard a barely audible sigh coming from the other end.
In an instant, Sun Wukong realized that there was actually a third person involved in this conversation.
In other words, Pale appeared to be there specifically to apologize to Sun Wukong, but in reality, he was putting on an act for a third person.
Unbeknownst to me, I had become one of the actors playing opposite Pale.
But if we expose the truth now, who knows what this person might say to the third person.
At that time, some unnecessary misunderstandings may arise.
Thinking about this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but admire Cang Bai's acting skills.
Even when apologizing to himself, he probably already rehearsed everything!
Damn it, I really need to expose his true colors as soon as possible so he can feel better!
If it weren't for the natural suppression of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, he would have already used the timeline to expose Pale's true colors, which would have been simple and brutal.
Compared to the current situation, using various roundabout methods is much more convenient and faster!
Now that he knew the other party's purpose, Sun Wukong had no interest in continuing the charade and hung up the communication with a random excuse.
On the other end, Yin Youyou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sun Wukong say he forgave Cangbai.
At least their relationship with the Third Guild hasn't gotten too bad, and that's enough.
Pale, who had put away his communicator, looked at the gloomy, silly grin and laughed even more heartily.
"Let's continue our search for the masked men!"
"We also need to let the Third Guild see that we're not just freeloaders."
