Li Qi blinked. "Isn't this... isn't this, well, an admission..."
"How is this an admission? This is one of our Taoist Sect's Techniques, called 'sliding down the slope'! Whatever you say, I just go along with it!"
Li Qi clasped his hands, squatted on the ground, and said, "Then you can't blame me. Who told you to use a Technique on me? Besides, at the time, I didn't feel I was affected by any Technique. You telling me afterwards about 'sliding down the slope'—isn't that deceitful?"
"Who deceived you? The essence of 'sliding down the slope' is to 'go with the flow.' If you could detect it, would the Technique still be effective?"
Li Banfeng shook his head. "I don't understand. What's all this about 'going with the flow' or not?"
"How can you not understand? To 'slide down the slope,' you first need a slope. You have to create that slope. It can't be too gradual, nor too steep. If it's too gradual, things won't progress smoothly. If it's too steep, you'll easily reveal flaws."
