1011: Chapter 1010: Arrival of the Long Alliance (1 Update) 1011: Chapter 1010: Arrival of the Long Alliance (1 Update) No one knew how much ti had passed before Guan Ling and Luo Xueling finally parted lips, their emotions significantly cald.
“What are your plans next?” Zhao Bingqian asked.
“I haven’t decided yet, but now that I’m no longer an ordinary person, I figure I can find so work and give Xueling a happy life!” Guan Ling said confidently.
Hearing this, Ye Haochuan’s eyes lit up, and he laughed, “If you haven’t figured out where to go, why not hang out with ?”
“You?”
“Yeah, I’ve got an alliance called the Long Alliance.
Right now, the thing we’re most short on is soone like you—a Foundation Establishnt stage expert.
What do you think?
Interested?” Ye Haochuan said, his tone dripping with temptation.
“Sure thing.
I don’t know many people and was worried about finding the right place to stay.
If I can join you, Brother Ye, we can look out for each other.” Guan Ling readily agreed.
“Oh no, I still have my job!
I’ve been gone for so long; the manager’s going to kill !” Luo Xueling suddenly exclaid in a panic.
Just as she turned to leave, Guan Ling grabbed her firmly.
“Are you joking with ?
Do you think I’d let you keep working here to be treated like that?”
“It’s not as bad as you think!
Most custors are polite and respectful!” Luo Xueling explained.
“Absolutely not.
With around, you won’t have to do anything anymore.
Just enjoy a happy life at ho!”
“Staying at ho every day would drive crazy!
I know you an well, but I just can’t stand that kind of aimless life!”
“But—”
“Alright, alright, what’s there to argue about?
My branch office just opened, and we’re short on staff.
Why not let Sister Xueling co help out?” Zhao Bingqian suggested.
After thinking it over for a mont, Guan Ling decided it was a great idea.
With Zhao Bingqian around, he wouldn’t have to worry about Luo Xueling being mistreated at all.
With that settled, Ye Haochuan and Zhao Bingqian managed to “divide and conquer” Guan Ling and his wife.
Guan Ling couldn’t go back to Liu Yiyi’s house, and without anywhere better to stay, Ye Haochuan brought him to the Long Family estate for accommodation.
“Brother Ye, we’re here!” As soon as Ye Haochuan and his group arrived ho, he received a call from Li Wenfeng.
“Alright, I’ll send soone to pick you up right away.
By the way, how many people ca with you?” Ye Haochuan asked cheerfully.
He had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Long Alliance mbers.
Being alone until now, he had to handle everything himself—it was exhausting!
“Exactly twenty…” Li Wenfeng replied.
Ye Haochuan imdiately arranged for soone to escort them to the Long Family estate.
However, he was sowhat disappointed to find that Huo ngyao wasn’t leading the group.
Instead, the leader was unexpectedly Liu Sheng, the one-ard expert.
Liu Sheng was one of the two Innate Peak Experts at the mines and was unofficially considered the second-in-command after Huo ngyao.
It wasn’t surprising he led the group.
“I’ve got to say, your level-ups co way too fast!
How long has it been?
How are you already at Foundation Establishnt?” Langfan grumbled as soon as he saw Ye Haochuan, looking rather displeased.
Back when the seven of them had ford the Long Alliance, all of them were only at Innate Early Stage cultivation.
But in just a few short months, Ye Haochuan had left them in the dust.
“Ah, what can I say—I’m gifted!
Cultivation cos so easily to that it’s honestly kind of painful!” Ye Haochuan teased with a mischievous grin, wearing an expression that would piss anyone off.
“I don’t care what kind of ‘gifted’ nonsense you are.
Now that you’ve beco a big shot, don’t forget us old pals from the beginning!” Langfan remarked with feigned malice.
“Those pills, magical treasures… whatever leftovers you’ve got, send so our way!”
“Yeah, exactly!
We’re all still at Innate Mid-Stage.
If our cultivation stagnates forever, you’d look pretty bad, don’t you think?” Nong Quan chid in.
Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated hearing this.
Langfan wasn’t wrong—his own rapid cultivation progress had indeed left his old companions struggling to keep up.
The dozen or so people who had co this ti were considered the Long Alliance’s elite.
Yet the strongest among them, Liu Sheng, was rely at Innate Peak, while everyone else was still at Innate Mid-Stage.
At Ye Haochuan’s current level, this caliber of allies wasn’t particularly useful anymore.
It seed the Long Alliance still needed more ti to grow and mature.
Ye Haochuan sighed inwardly.
Langfan, Nong Quan, and the others didn’t lack talent; what they needed most was ti.
Ye Haochuan believed that in another ten or twenty years, they would undoubtedly rise to beco Core Formation stage experts.
Unfortunately, Ye Haochuan didn’t have the luxury of waiting that long.
To rapidly develop the Long Alliance, his best bet was still recruiting talent—people like Guan Ling.
But when Ye Haochuan shifted his gaze to Liu Sheng, his eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
Liu Sheng’s talent wasn’t bad—he had achieved Innate Peak just over half a month ago, and his cultivation was already at the point of Perfection within this stage.
Just so happens, Ye Haochuan had a Foundation Establishnt Pill on hand.
Once Liu Sheng broke through to Foundation Establishnt, the Long Alliance would gain another powerhouse.
Without hesitation, Ye Haochuan took out a Foundation Establishnt Pill and handed it to Liu Sheng, instructing him to start his seclusion imdiately.
“Hey, aren’t you playing favorites a little too much?
That guy hasn’t been in the Long Alliance for long, and you’ve already given him such a precious pill.
Don’t forget we’re the founding mbers…” Langfan complained.
“Oh, co on, am I the type to play favorites?” Ye Haochuan retorted.
“You’re still only at Innate Mid-Stage.
If you take the pill now, you can kiss any future breakthroughs goodbye.”
Langfan and the others imdiately fell silent.
They knew full well that using a Foundation Establishnt Pill at their current level would indeed be counterproductive.
Slightly dampening their spirits was good motivation for cultivation.
Of course, Ye Haochuan didn’t intend to belittle them endlessly.
After chatting for a while, he handed out several pills they could actually use, urging them to focus on improving their cultivation.
Thankfully, after his journey to the Sub-Thunder Elent Dinsion Realm, Ye Haochuan now had plenty of dicinal pills in reserve—enough to act like a “tycoon.”
“By the way, in the next few days, send a couple of people to scout for properties.
Our Long Alliance base in the Imperial Capital can’t be too shabby!” Ye Haochuan said.
Now that he wasn’t strapped for cash, he wasn’t about to let his n live in cramped quarters either.
Initially, Ye Haochuan had considered using the Long Family estate as their base, but Long Xiaotian adamantly refused, claiming it would disturb his peace.
Ye Haochuan was speechless—such a massive villa with only one person living in it, how much quieter could it possibly get?
It was like a haunted house anyway!
After settling the Long Alliance mbers, Ye Haochuan turned his attention to Long Network, led by Li Wenfeng.
To his surprise, Li Wenfeng had co alone.
“Wenfeng, just you?
Don’t you think that’s a bit… thinly staffed?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
Li Wenfeng scoffed, “Brother Ye, I brought intelligence operatives, okay?
Traveling openly like this—if anyone’s monitoring the area, our entire operation would’ve been exposed.”
Intelligence work required absolute discretion.
The more covert the operatives, the more reliable the information they could gather.
Ye Haochuan hadn’t considered this detail.
“You’ve got so skills, huh?
Really stepping up your ga!” Ye Haochuan praised him.
But to his surprise, Li Wenfeng’s face darkened instantly, and he groaned, “Brother Ye, this intelligence work is ridiculously annoying!
Long Alliance has so many people—can’t you find soone else to replace ?”
After the initial excitent had worn off, Li Wenfeng was increasingly convinced he wasn’t cut out for intelligence work.
The sheer amount of ntal effort spent analyzing reports for useful intel was enough to drive him up the wall.
Frankly, he still preferred the carefree life of cultivating and having fun.
“I don’t have anyone else qualified for this right now.
You’ll have to hang in there for a while longer!” Ye Haochuan replied helplessly.
The lack of skilled personnel was a serious problem he couldn’t ignore.
After a few words of consolation, Ye Haochuan instructed Li Wenfeng to investigate and monitor the Liu Family’s situation.
With tasks assigned, everyone dispersed.
