Master Wang was sowhat speechless at this mont.
"You just blurt that out like it's nothing?"
But then he rembered that it was he who had just said everyone present could be trusted.
In fact, Master Wang truly thought the other party was just there to ask for a Visualization Diagram. This kind of request was common for him, and he was used to it.
Core disciples of major families, if they had so talent in ditation, generally sought one out.
Even those without spiritual talent would want a ditation Technique to compensate for their weaknesses.
Not to ntion the Heretic God Followers, they had many attacks targeted at the mind. If one had a clear weakness and was suddenly attacked there, even the stronger might easily be overturned.
There was also the Absorption Skill. ditation Technique could also more easily dissolve the pollution of the skill.
He thought the matter was completely above-board and this was a good opportunity to show this promising young man his social status.
He didn't want the initial impression from the Night Watcher to solidify.
And now, what on earth was this?
Master Wang had also heard a bit about Chaoyang Society lately and knew about the incident where Longxi Clan was hit.
But since the pain wasn't his own, he had simply enjoyed watching the drama unfold from afar.
Now, seeing the third young master of the Longxi Clan hinting at such matters, he knew the Longxi Clan must have suffered no small loss, and it may not just be an issue of face.
Their clan leader's injuries might be very serious.
Master Wang's skill in ditation Technique had surpassed the traditional Lv5 limit, reaching Lv6, so his thoughts were extrely quick. He quickly sorted out the issues and understood the other party's intentions.
Being frad for sothing...
As for the skirmishes between the Inner City and the Outer City, the Floating City wouldn't really care about them, nor would it matter to them if a force within the Inner City got wiped out; after all, these things can't shake the foundation!
But Heretic God Followers are different; they are extremists who have actions that could extinguish the Fla of Civilization!
Most rational adults are constrained by personal interests and powerful connections, but lunatics are not.
If they were just ordinary lunatics without reason, that would be bad enough, but Heretic God Followers are organized and preditated, truly unpredictable.
Even if their strength is equal, if a lunatic attacks a normal person unexpectedly, the normal person is likely to break down in tears.
If bowing down and kowtowing could guarantee that the lunatic would never bother them again, then most people would probably do it.
This kind of accusation is such that many tis, a wrongful killing is preferable to letting soone go free; evidence is often deed unnecessary!
And even if an investigation proves there's no connection, one would still be skinned alive.
It could be said to be a very malicious tactic.
The leader of Chaoyang Society once refused the recruiting efforts of Floating City, but he's different from those unsavory rebel organizations; he's known for being upright in his actions, which Master Wang had also heard of.
"I truly apologize, young master, but I am a person who likes to be realistic. If it's about this matter, then please return," said Master Wang with all the righteousness he could muster.
He knew that since the other party ca asking for a favor, they must have promised many benefits.
But aside from his general dislike of involving himself in such things, even if he was tempted, now that Mr. Tao had heard everything, he'd definitely refuse outright.
After all, the man could report to the heavens.
The Lizardman hadn't expected Master Wang to be so decisive in rejecting the offer without even hearing about the benefits, and after a brief mont of shock, he sighed.
"It seems there's no connection between them then. I was overthinking. I just received a tip and thought I'd ask. Here's a small gift from our family. My good-for-nothing brother is about to co of age, and I'd like to ask for your diligent effort for his 'Visualization Diagram,'" he said.
The Lizardman kept a straight face as he handed the gift box to Wu Tu, who passed it to Master Wang.
Master Wang, without even looking inside the box, said with a beaming smile,
"Why the formality? Rest assured, when he cos by, I will reserve an opportunity to imprint for him."
"Then I shall take my leave," the Lizardman said.
After giving a nod to Tao Yu and Wu Tu, he left straight away.
He was just probing; once he saw the resistance, he couldn't directly state his purpose anymore. Swiftly, he shifted the conversation to his brother's practice of ditation Technique, leaving no handle to be held against him.
After all, received a tip, just asked casually!
For Heretic God Followers, everyone's duty is to eliminate them!
It was only after he left that Master Wang shook his head and said to Tao Yu with a chuckle,
"Mr. Tao must think this is quite the spectacle. I don't actually take on such business, but they're probably pressed by the president of Chaoyang Society, desperate for a solution."
Master Wang even made a point of explaining this to Tao Yu.
"I understand, the master is highly esteed..."
...
"There's actually so substance to this place."
Tao Yu left the Wang private club, and that was that.
And if you think about it, the two parties currently have a little mutual favor going on.
If there's so small convenient matter, taking the initiative to seek help from the other party will definitely not be turned down. Likewise, if the other party needs help with sothing, and it's just a matter of convenience, then lending a hand is no big deal. Anything more involved would require negotiating a price from both sides.
Tao Yu himself was not soone aloof and proud. He didn't mind cultivating a wide network of good relationships.
When it's ti to tear off the mask, you have to be decisive, and when there's no need to make enemies, don't go looking for trouble.
The casual conversation afterwards indeed brought so help to himself.
However, at this mont, Tao Yu's bracelet began to vibrate, making his expression brighten. He imdiately chose to answer.
"I'm back. Where are you? How did you get wrapped up in Heretic God Follower stuff again?"
"I'm in the Inner City, just trying to make so extra cash."
Tao Yu hinted frantically.
"You're quite generous with your money, but rapidly boosting your strength is indeed the right way to go. Find a deserted place and open the location."
"Okay."
Tao Yu obediently agreed and quickly made his way toward an abandoned building he rembered from the road.
The building was overgrown with weeds, and it wasn't clear what had happened, but the surface of the building was black as if it had been burned by fire. However, having seen many post-apocalyptic scenes in the Abyss, Tao Yu was unfazed by such abandoned buildings.
However, when Tao Yu went to the rooftop, he saw several gang mbers engaged in so transaction. Seeing Tao Yu arrive, they were all startled.
Especially when they saw the outfit of Tao Yu's partner, soone imdiately put their hands on their head and squatted down, also saying,
"Don't kill ..."
This left Tao Yu sowhat speechless. He then lowered his voice and snorted coldly,
"Scram."
Hearing Tao Yu's words, the gang mbers, whether lying on the ground or with their hands on their heads, imdiately understood they were not the target of a bust. They ran off, faster than each other, disappearing in a flash.
"This must be what Wang Goudan was talking about, the fourth-tier security zone, a completely lawless land."
There's no surveillance, few people, and almost no one ever cos here, except for so gang mbers who might do unsavory things here.
As soone who possesses the Art of Corpse Refinent, Tao Yu could tell that the building had a tendency to evolve into the Land of Extre Yin; there must have been quite a few deaths here.
But at least on the surface, there were no visible remains or anything.
So, Tao Yu arrived at the rooftop and turned on the location sharing.
It didn't take long for sothing similar to the semi-transparent shadow that appeared last ti Sun Shiqing ca over to flicker, and the graceful figure of Sun Shiyu appeared on the rooftop.
The semi-transparent camouflage covering her began to fade away, revealing the familiar tight combat suit, and she also took out a similar spherical device to shield the surrounding environnt.
Her pretty and beautiful face held a trace of joy, which made Tao Yu a bit infatuated.
An eternally beautiful sight.
"What? Disappointed it's not Shiqing?"
Sun Shiyu stood with her hands behind her back, circling Tao Yu and said teasingly.
Last ti, Sun Shiqing really showed her that embarrassing photo of himself, and Tao Yu wondered if that was why the wealthy girl hadn't held back and had beaten him soundly.
"What are you talking about? He zones out just because you look like you."
Tao Yu wrapped his arm around Sun Shiyu's slender waist, inhaling the faint fragrance that tickled his nose, and he almost lost control on the spot. He quickly cooled himself down with a ditation Technique before returning to normal.
But his hand involuntarily slid lower.
"You really have the constitution of a lucky devil. You must have so strange fortune bonus on you, running into a Heretic God Follower incident again. Those lunatics don't care about profit or loss; it's best to avoid them as much as possible."
Sun Shiyu didn't resist Tao Yu's movents at all; instead, she snuggled closer into his embrace.
"That's just so easy money, if it cos to my doorstep, why would I say no?"
"Hehe, so Cheng Lixue the heroine is also 'if it cos to my doorstep, why say no,' huh?"
Sun Shiyu's words made Tao Yu's scalp tingle.
Good grief, where did you get that from? How do you know about that...
