"Pfft."
After walking for a long time, Yue Xinyao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Senior Brother, you're so bad, using such a rogue trick to deal with Senior Brother Zhu Qin."
After listening to Wang Lu's monologue performance just now, Yue Xinyao simply admired him from the bottom of her heart. At the same time, she also understood why Senior Brother Wang Lu insisted on taking her to find Zhu Qin.
Senior Brother Wang Lu was simply using her to block Zhu Qin's mouth. It was obviously a robber's logic, but by relying on her existence, Zhu Qin was choked and speechless. This kind of ability to confuse black and white really made people admire him.
"Ah, thank you, Junior Sister Yue, for your help. Otherwise, it would not be easy to deal with Zhu Qin, this chuunibyou."
Yue Xinyao couldn't help but laugh for a while, and then immediately asked, "But is this okay? Senior Brother, if you directly show up like this, it's too risky. "
Wang Lu sighed, "What else can I do? To suppress Zhu Qin, who else can but me? Is it the awakening type Wen Bao? That fatty may be able to make Zhu Qin depressed, but to make Zhu Qin unable to move, only I can personally come forward. "
"En." Yue Xinyao nodded in approval, "But Senior Brother Zhu Qin can't just stay silent, he certainly won't be willing to be played by you like this."
Wang Lu smiled, "Yes, in a few days, as long as he comes back to his senses and gives himself a reason to convince himself, he will definitely secretly report to the sect's Elders. But I only need a few days of time. "
"?" Junior Sister Yue blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Wang Lu in confusion.
In Yue Xinyao's view, Wang Lu's problem was not something that could be solved in a few days. A huge cult with more than a million followers was too eye-catching. Once the sect's Elders received the report and personally went down the mountain to investigate, Wang Lu, the mastermind behind the scenes, would inevitably be exposed. At that time, the sect's rules would be strict, and a mere Fifth Elder would absolutely not be able to cover him up.
At this time, Yue Xinyao didn't even have the time to consider the role she was playing now, whether she would be implicated or not. She was simply worried about Wang Lu.
However, Wang Lu was still full of confidence. "Don't worry about the professional adventurers. Junior Sister, you just have to wait and see."
"Is that so? Alright, then I'll be looking forward to your performance, Senior Brother. "
"Heh, don't expect me. Next, you should be looking forward to Wen Bao's performance. His role is very important."
— —
While Wang Lu and Yue Xinyao were happily cooperating to take down Zhu Qin, Wen Bao and his two assistants were spending their days in the Mansion of Light.
"Then, apart from these trivial matters, does Elder Wen have anything else to say?"
In the main hall, Li Nana sat upright on the main seat. She held a cup of fragrant tea in her hand and took a light sip. Her posture was elegant, yet it was difficult to conceal the impatience and coldness between her brows.
Wen Bao, who was sitting next to Li Nana, was already drenched in cold sweat. Tremblingly, he fished out a handkerchief from his mustard seed bag, wiped his sweat, and then squeezed out a seemingly meaningful smile without saying a word.
Although the two assistants sitting next to him were usually proactive, at this time, they were shrinking in their chairs, not daring to move, which made the scene even colder.
The three of them were embarrassed because the aura of this Miss Li Nana of the Mansion of Light was too strong. Although her cultivation base was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and although she looked like a tall but slightly thin young woman, her speech and demeanor revealed a spirit that was not inferior to men, which made the three men ashamed.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, the smile on Wen Bao's face gradually stiffened. Especially in the face of Li Nana's increasingly impatient eyes, he really wanted to die, which was better than suffering in this main hall.
A day ago, his Senior Brother said that this level of negotiation could not be finished in one or two days, and that he only needed to pick up some leftover information related to the Wisdom Sect … But in fact, how could it be that simple! After a few minutes of talking about the so-called leftover information, the other party became impatient. Then, he avoided these meaningless topics and began to interrogate endlessly.
"Who is your Sect Master? Although you boast to your followers that you are a true immortal, you are at most a Xudan Stage cultivator, right? "
The first question made Wen Bao have no choice but to take out his magic weapon: a meaningful smile. But just as he finished his expression, Qian Hu put down her teacup and said coldly, "What, you can't say it? Interesting. Can't your identity be exposed? "
Wen Bao smiled.
"You're the one who proposed to cooperate with the Mansion of Light, but now you're not even willing to reveal the identity of the sect's leader. Aren't you being too insincere?"
Wen Bao's heart trembled on the spot as he turned around to seek help from his two assistants. Unexpectedly, the two of them were even more unbearable. They didn't even dare to raise their heads!
Fortunately, Qianhu Na shook her head and changed the topic, "I can't tell you about the Hierarch's identity, so let's talk about you. Did you come from the Lingjian School? Then when you joined the Wisdom Sect, what was the sect's attitude toward this? Was it happy to see it happen? "
Wen Bao's heart skipped a beat. How could he dare to tell her the truth? He just continued to smile.
Qianhu Na's frown deepened. "You can't tell me this? Fine, let's change to another one … "
Then, even after several more questions, it was still the same. This Qianhu Na's questions were too sharp. Each one of them was aimed at the sect's secret. Moreover, her attitude was straightforward, giving people no chance to be perfunctory. Wen Bao felt as if he just took a bath; his face had a tendency to cramp.
At the same time, Qianhu Na's annoyance continued to accumulate. The woman put down the teacup. Her fingers constantly tapped on the armrest. After a moment of silence, she asked another question, "Rumor has it that your Wisdom Sect instigates your followers to cultivate the Heaven Burning Blood Technique. Is this true?"
Wen Bao was about to cry, but he still maintained his smile, which was as awkward as it could be.
Qianhu Na's eyes were sharp. Her body slightly leaned forward, and her imposing manner was overbearing. "Don't want to say it? Then I'll take it as you acquiesce? "
Wen Bao was so anxious that he almost peed in his pants. Inwardly, he had already rained dog blood curses on Wang Lu. In the past, he was cheated by Wang Lu, but this time, he was embarrassed in front of this cold-looking woman. An indescribable sense of humiliation suddenly rose in Wen Bao's heart.
Damn it, why do I have to suffer this kind of punishment? I'm just a small infrastructure department head, good at moving bricks. You can do this kind of difficult work yourself, why do you have to torture me!? Moreover, it was done in front of her!
The fat youth was full of anxiety. He didn't even realize that in his impression, the woman's position was different.
A moment later, Wen Bao suddenly saw the opposite Qianhu Na. A trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes. It was not because of the Wisdom Sect's sincerity, but … because of Wen Bao.
Wen Bao was puzzled. Why? If there is expectation, there will be disappointment. What's there to expect from me? I'm just a...
Suddenly, an impulse rose in Wen Bao's heart, which made him feel as if something exploded in his brain.
The next moment, under Li Nana's surprised gaze, Wen Bao slowly straightened his body and then said, "The matter about the Heaven Burning Blood Technique is pure nonsense."
Li Nana froze for a moment. She watched as the cowering snow on Wen Bao's face melted and was replaced by a symbol of indifference and calmness.
The woman couldn't help but laugh. "Pure nonsense?"
"Yes, my Wisdom Sect does have a unique cultivation method that can speed up people's cultivation, but that cultivation method is upright and upright, absolutely not a devil's cultivation method. I'm afraid it's just some jealous villain spreading false information to ruin my Wisdom Sect's clean reputation. "
Li Nana's smile became thicker. "Good, if that's the case, then that's the best. Otherwise, even if you put forward the best conditions, our Mansion of Light will never cooperate with a cult."
Wen Bao was startled. Looking at the smiling face of Qianhu Na, he finally understood the problem.
Li Nana didn't need the truth, she only needed a plausible explanation. However, he couldn't even think about it before, wasting his time. No wonder the other side was disappointed.
Thus, the next question and answer session finally went smoothly.
"You came from Lingjian School, what's the sect's opinion on this?"
Wen Bao said with a smile, "We don't encourage it nor oppose it. The Lingjian School's policy of training disciples is to have a high degree of autonomy. As long as it doesn't violate the bottom line, anything is a very helpful experience in the Immortal Cultivation Path."
"Even if it's cooperation with secular institutions?"
"The distinction between Immortal and Mortal is not absolute. At least, Lingjian School has never had such a division — our Sect Leader's daughter is still running an inn in the mortal world."
Li Nana was really surprised. "There's such a thing? That's really unexpected … Then who is your Sect Leader? "
Wen Bao said, "Although he's not a True Immortal, he's better than a True Immortal. From the Wisdom Sect's development, you can see his extraordinariness, right? "
"Oh, you said you want to cooperate, so what exactly can you provide?"
"A deep and solid foundation among the masses, rich Immortal Cultivation resources, and a promising high-quality partner."
"So what do you need?"
Wen Bao froze for a moment, clenched his teeth, and then made a presumptuous guess. "The official recognition from the Great Ming Country."
…
One question and one answer. Time quickly slipped away. Unknowingly, outside the window, the sun had already set.
After putting down the tea that had already been filled with water, Li Nana nodded with satisfaction. "Today's conversation is very pleasant."
Wen Bao heaved a sigh of relief, but his mouth actually said, "I feel the same way."
"Then, let me ask one last question."
Wen Bao's spirit rose. "Please say it."
"Yesterday, you said you like me, is that true?"
"Puff!" Wen Bao spurted out his tea on the spot. His clothes were full of tea.
Li Nana looked at Wen Bao's embarrassment with interest, and then she smiled and shook her head. "It's just a joke, don't take it to heart … Tomorrow is still the same time, please prepare more materials for the details of the cooperation. Personally, I'm happy to see it happen."
With that, the woman stood up. "Send the guests out."
Thereupon, several servants entered the hall and asked Wen Bao and his two assistants to leave. Before going out, Wen Bao looked back at the woman's graceful back; his heart felt lost.
