(4 more) “Since it’s got such a high status, does our Long Alliance have a chance to participate?” Ye Haochuan asked doubtfully.
“With your current level of strength?
Of course not!” Long Xiaotian laughed.
“My younger sister, Long Piaoying, has so people on her side.
When the ti cos, we’ll integrate them into the Long Alliance.
To take part in the All Alliance Assembly, you’ll need at least ten Foundation Establishnt experts!”
“That’s great!
Boosting the strength of the Long Alliance by several tis for free—I’m naturally all for it.
However, regardless of their cultivation level, they must follow my managent.
If they don’t obey, I don’t want them!”
Ye Haochuan clearly hadn’t lost his head over excitent.
If a few newcors could strip him of his authority, the Long Alliance he had painstakingly built would end up being a stepping stone for soone else.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make the arrangents!
But I can only get them to respect you outwardly.
To truly earn their loyalty and submission, that’ll depend on your own strength,” Long Xiaotian replied.
Pfft, just a few Foundation Establishnt cultivators?
Wait a few more months, when my cultivation improves, and I’ll have them carrying around like lackeys eager to please.
Who wouldn’t submit?
Ye Haochuan sneered internally.
But then, a sudden thought struck him, and he stared coldly at Long Xiaotian, saying, “I see now why you’re so enthusiastic.
You’re trying to use the Long Alliance, aren’t you?”
Long Xiaotian’s face turned awkward imdiately.
Still, he gritted his teeth and said, “What are you talking about?
I’m helping you, how is this using the Long Alliance?”
“You’re planting people in the Long Alliance, then using your na to get the Long Alliance into the All Alliance Assembly.
Anyone would think that the Long Alliance is your handpicked replacent for the Long Group, wouldn’t they?” Ye Haochuan said with a grin.
“What others think is their business.
What does that have to do with ?” Long Xiaotian said.
“Alright, stop playing coy,” Ye Haochuan retorted.
“You’re trying to make those targeting the Long Group believe that you’re raising another Long Group, right?
Then, when they can’t resist making a move against it, you’ll seize the chance to track them down and uncover the mastermind behind them, huh?”
Long Xiaotian’s face turned ashen, and after a long silence, he sighed, saying, “I didn’t think you’d figure it out so quickly.
Seems like I really am getting old!”
He certainly hadn’t planned to keep this matter hidden from Ye Haochuan forever.
Since Ye Haochuan had exposed him, he might as well lay his cards on the table.
“After all, the tragedy that befell the Long Group happened so long ago.
Many clues have already been wiped clean.
If we don’t use so tricks, finding the mastermind would really be impossible!”
“Damn, you’re treating and the Long Alliance as pawns!
That’s a force powerful enough to destroy the Long Group; the Long Alliance wouldn’t even survive a sneeze from them!” Ye Haochuan said furiously.
“If you want dead, just say it outright.
Why go through all this trouble?”
“Don’t think so poorly of , alright?
I spent so much effort raising you to the Foundation Establishnt Stage; even if you wanted to die, I wouldn’t let you!” Long Xiaotian retorted.
“Effort?
Co on, all my cultivation progress has been because of my own hard work!
You didn’t even give a single cultivation resource, and you’ve got the nerve to say you raised ?” Ye Haochuan shot back.
“I… I was cultivating your ability to be independent!
Flowers grown in a greenhouse can’t withstand the wind and rain!” Long Xiaotian said righteously.
Good grief, shalessness at this level deserves worship!
Ye Haochuan thought bitterly.
Ye Haochuan glared at Long Xiaotian hatefully, completely unwilling to exchange another word with him.
Seeing Ye Haochuan’s expression, Long Xiaotian chuckled awkwardly and said, “Regardless, I would never harm you.
Don’t worry, with around, neither you nor the Long Alliance will be in danger!”
“If they manage to succeed despite all precautions, then your dream of rebuilding the Long Group will be nothing short of wishful thinking,” Ye Haochuan suddenly remarked with a laugh.
“Does that an you’re agreeing?” Long Xiaotian asked, suddenly elated.
“When did I ever say I wasn’t agreeing?” Ye Haochuan said with a smirk.
“From the mont I chose the na Long Alliance, I never intended to sever ties with the Long Group.
Besides, an opportunity like this, one that can quickly elevate the team’s reputation—how many people dream of it?
If I gave it up, I’d truly be out of my mind!”
“You little rascal, are you ssing with ?” Long Xiaotian’s face darkened suddenly.
This guy clearly hadn’t opposed the idea from the start, yet he’d acted displeased.
If that wasn’t ssing with him, what was?
“By the way, when is the All Alliance Assembly happening?”
“In just ten days!”
The All Alliance Assembly, held once every three years, was scheduled to begin in ten days.
After discussing details with Long Xiaotian, Ye Haochuan imdiately called Huo ngyao, asking her to bring people to the Imperial Capital.
During his trip to the Imperial Capital, Ye Haochuan had already handed over the Gate of the World to Huo ngyao.
After all, it couldn’t be used outside Haishan, so carrying it around was pointless.
Ye Haochuan was relieved about this decision.
Otherwise, he’d have to make another trip back now.
As for the reinforcents from Long Piaoying’s side, Long Xiaotian asked them to co and et Ye Haochuan as soon as possible.
The thought of gaining seven or eight Foundation Establishnt experts for the Long Alliance filled Ye Haochuan with excitent.
However, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed that Long Piaoying, busy consolidating her Foundation Establishnt Peak cultivation, wouldn’t be participating in the assembly.
With soone as powerful as Long Piaoying on the team, Ye Haochuan would have felt much more at ease.
After concluding their discussion, Chen Yushan happened to return.
The mont she saw Ye Haochuan, she couldn’t resist throwing herself into his arms.
Ye Haochuan had been away for half a month, and his phone was unreachable—she’d been worried sick.
“By the way, how’s the investigation into Zhu Qingshuang and Zhu Tian going?” Ye Haochuan asked as he held Chen Yushan close.
“Hmph, you’re already thinking about other won the mont you get back.
Tell honestly—Zhu Qingshuang, is she one of your won too?
I’ve heard she’s quite beautiful!” Chen Yushan pouted.
“She is indeed beautiful, just as beautiful as my gorgeous wife Yushan!” Ye Haochuan grinned, hugging Chen Yushan’s slender waist.
“Since you think so highly of her, it wouldn’t be fair not to make her your sister.
Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to win her over!”
“Scoundrel!
Who wants so many sisters?” Chen Yushan snapped.
“Don’t worry, she hasn’t committed any serious cris; she’ll be released in a couple of days.”
“Just like that?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.
He wondered why the Ji Family, intent on targeting Zhu Qingshuang and her group, would let them off so easily.
“What else?
Lock them up for ten or twenty years?” Chen Yushan scoffed.
“They haven’t committed any major cris, not even defamation.
It’s just that pressure was applied by higher-ups, so they’re being held for five days.
Otherwise, they’d already be out.”
Hearing this, Ye Haochuan froze for a mont.
It seed the Ji Family wanted to warn Zhu Qingshuang’s group to keep quiet after their release.
Thinking it through, Ye Haochuan finally relaxed.
He had been genuinely worried that the Ji Family would resort to killing them to silence them.
Now, it appeared he had been overthinking.
