Capítulo 1466: Chapter 1500: Mu Cangtian Joins the South Heavenly Gate
“N-nothing!”
Liu Ruyan quickly wiped her eyes twice to prevent her embarrassed look from being seen by Nangong Bing.
Even though she composed her emotions, she still couldn’t escape Nangong Bing’s keen observations.
“What’s wrong with you? Did you cry?”
“N-no. I didn’t cry, you saw it wrong. I wouldn’t cry.” Liu Ruyan looked as if trying to hide sothing.
She imdiately stood up from the sofa, swaying her seductive figure as she headed to the refrigerator in the kitchen, and took out a bottle of beer.
“Damn! Even the damn beer I want to drink is expired!”
Liu Ruyan was almost infuriated, the bottled beer had been sitting in the fridge for who knows how long, with the production date long expired.
“I can’t believe this!”
In a fit of anger, she couldn’t care less, opened the cap, and gulped down several sips.
The intense gas made her uncomfortable, and after half a bottle, she was choking so much that tears were streaming down her face. The pain in her stomach was far less than the embarrassnt deep in her heart.
Watching Liu Ruyan making such a noise in the kitchen by herself, Nangong Bing felt frustrated as well.
What could make her so upset? For her safety.
Nangong Bing thought it necessary to offer so comfort.
“Ruyan, what’s wrong? What happened today that’s making you so unhappy?”
“Nothing, nothing. I’m just thirsty.” Liu Ruyan leaned against the refrigerator, showing only half her body, as she waved her hand.
The calr she pretended to be, the more suspicious Nangong Bing beca.
This morning she went to the football field with Lin Zifeng, where Lin Zifeng gave her the most beautiful proposal of her life. Who knew that midway through he had to leave.
Nangong Bing also went to the company alone.
Coming back, she saw Liu Ruyan shutting herself in the house with reddened eyes, the look made Nangong Bing sowhat uneasy. After all, they were like sisters, seeing her sad made Nangong Bing feel uncomfortable too.
“Cough cough~”
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan choked on the beer, imdiately her delicate body trembled without stop, coughing till her face turned green…
“What’s wrong with you today? Are you trying to play the self-destructive ga from TV dramas?”
Nangong Bing angrily rushed forward, snatched the beer from her hand, and looked at her with feigned anger.
“Bingbing, don’t worry about . I’m just thirsty, wanting to drink a couple more beers, beer won’t kill anyone.” Liu Ruyan said indifferently, but didn’t dare to look her in the eye. She was afraid her grievances would be caught.
“You can drink water if you’re thirsty, can beer really quench thirst?” Nangong Bing directly threw the beer into the trash, pulling her towards the sofa.
“Co, sit down with .”
Liu Ruyan looked at her bewildered, her eyes reddening.
“Tell , what happened today that your mood was so bad you wanted to numb yourself with beer? Even if you want to numb yourself, do you think a few bottles of beer will work?”
Hearing her good sister say this, Liu Ruyan’s heart softened even more.
Several tis she resolved to tell her the truth, but in the end, she held it back inside…
On the other side, after returning to the South Heavenly Gate headquarters, Lin Zifeng’s emotions had been fluctuating, and now he beca curious about the Pope.
The most crucial thing was that the Pope had so connections with his father, which was the focus of his attention.
Upon entering the South Heavenly Gate headquarters, Lin Zifeng imdiately summoned Zhang ngjie, demanding a thorough investigation into everything related to the Western Pope…
“Knock knock knock…”
Ten minutes later, Zhang ngjie knocked and walked in from outside the conference room, holding an investigation report, all about the Western Bright Church.
“Did you find anything?” Lin Zifeng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room, hands behind his back, eyes complex. All his thoughts were centered on his father.
As long as there was any information about his father, he wouldn’t easily let it go.
“Unfortunately, the information we gathered is limited. We only found that there indeed exists a Western Bright Church. As for the Pope, we have found nothing.” Zhang ngjie put down the docunts, her face heavy.
She searched almost all information regarding the Bright Pope, yet unfortunately from the docunts left by the CIA, only a small clue was found, specific details and information are hard to co by.
Moreover, the Bright Pope is very mysterious, with only a few pages of records, and there is not enough evidence to prove whether the contents are true.
“Is there no information I need at all?” Lin Zifeng looked disappointed. He knew the Bright Pope couldn’t have left too much information.
Just like his father, the CIA records aren’t plentiful.
“There is one piece of information, but I don’t know if it’s true or false.” At this mont, Zhang ngjie walked up to Lin Zifeng with the docunt and said, “It records that a few years ago, two powerful warriors from Huaxia broke into the Western Bright Church and fought with the Sect Hierarch for several days. In the end, those two Huaxia warriors were no match for the Bright Sect Hierarch, but they retreated unscathed without suffering much injury.”
“Powerful warriors from Huaxia?” Lin Zifeng’s brow furrowed heavily.
“Yes. However, there is very little information about these two powerful warriors from Huaxia, almost impossible to find. And as for that Bright Sect Hierarch, we also can’t confirm if he is the current Bright Pope.”
“That would an the Pope’s cultivation is through the roof?” Lin Zifeng thought of another terrifying consequence; the two powerful ones investigated by Zhang ngjie could either be his parents, or perhaps his father alongside soone else…
However, another horrifying thought popped into his head.
If his father really did break through the Bright Church, and the two of them couldn’t handle the Pope, wouldn’t that an the Pope’s cultivation is even more incredible than his father’s?
“Unclear. This is all we can investigate for now; other details will have to wait for further observation.” Zhang ngjie shook her head, thought for a few seconds, then furrowed her beautiful brows and said, “But judging from the CIA’s leftover records, I would guess that the Sect Hierarch is indeed the current Bright Pope.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Mu Cangtian told .”
“Him? How would he know about the Bright Church’s affairs?” Lin Zifeng asked.
“He’s just outside the conference room, so if you have questions, feel free to ask him,” Zhang ngjie said, then clapped her hands in front of a stunned Lin Zifeng.
“Creak~”
Mu Cangtian pushed open the conference room door and walked in with a smile on his face.
“Mu Family Head, do you know about the Bright Church’s affairs?”
“A little bit, but not in great detail.” Mu Cangtian saluted Zhang ngjie deeply.
Zhang ngjie smiled and nodded in return.
“That’s fantastic. Since you know about the Bright Church’s affairs, can you tell all?” An uncontrollable excitent surged up, and Lin Zifeng felt a rush of anticipation.
“But you have to promise one thing.”
Mu Cangtian did not imdiately agree to Lin Zifeng’s request but instead made a request of his own.
“Say it! Say it! Say it! As long as it’s sothing I, Lin Zifeng, can achieve, I will definitely fulfill your request.” For Lin Zifeng now, nothing was more important than learning about the Bright Pope.
Mu Cangtian exchanged a glance with Zhang ngjie, laughed easily, as if they had reached so agreent between them.
This made Lin Zifeng feel a bit perplexed.
“It’s like this. I’ve spoken a lot with the Mu Family Head these days, exchanging quite a bit. Mu Family Head hopes to join us as a mber of the South Gate. Of course, such a significant matter is not for to decide alone. After all, the Mu Family Head is a prominent figure in Yanjing, beyond my small influence. So Mu Family Head now seeks your approval.”
“What! Mu Family Head, you want to join our South Gate?!”
Lin Zifeng almost fainted—Mu Cangtian wants to join the South Gate? What kind of international joke is this? A family head, voluntarily asking to join the South Gate? How unreliable must this be?
“Yes. Though it’s sudden, it’s a decision I’ve considered for a long ti. I hope you, young master Lin, can satisfy this small wish of mine,” Mu Cangtian affird decisively.
Alright then—well, after all that, it turns out Sister Zhang is quite the tease. From discussing the Western Pope to Mu Cangtian’s request to join the South Gate and beco a mber,
all of this truly dealt Lin Zifeng a lightning bolt on a clear day.
“I wonder why the Mu Family Head suddenly made the request to join the South Gate? Don’t you think this is a bit too crazy?” Setting aside everything else, Mu Cangtian’s sudden request indeed startled Lin Zifeng.
He wasn’t prepared for this.
“Because I value the future of the South Gate, and I see potential in you!” Mu Cangtian said with determination, his eyes sparkling as he smiled: “These days, I’ve been staying at the South Gate, and though I seem to do nothing, I have seen the potential you have. In just half a year, you’ve built up such an organized force. I doubt there’s another newly erging force in all of Huaxia comparable to the South Gate?”
Mu Cangtian isn’t foolish. He knew a while back that the Ability Group secretly supports the South Gate. Without a strong backing, the South Gate couldn’t have survived this long.
“Is this your true choice?” Lin Zifeng asked again.
If Mu Cangtian truly wants to join the South Gate, then it would be a perfect scenario. Mu Yang could thus also join the South Gate. With Lin Zifeng’s insight, he’d aim to use the revival of the Mu Family to start expanding into Yanjing. Then, leveraging this, he’d connect with the Beiming Family, and finally, the South Gate could easily enter Yanjing.
(Spent a whole day wandering in Su Zhou, couldn’t find a house, Huahua is holess, what a tragedy!)
