"Friend or foe?" Yan Ge heard Lin Tianbiao's words, and a rare meaningful smile appeared on his face.
"There is no such thing as an eternal friend or foe in this world." Yan Ge seemed to be answering Lin Tianbiao's doubts, and also seemed to be lamenting.
Although Lin Tian Biao was not very old, he came from an aristocratic family. He had been in the imperial court, and had heard of all kinds of plots and schemes. Hearing Yan Ge's words, he was startled. His words revealed a doubtful attitude towards everything. This made Lin Tianbiao feel that no matter if it was him, or the Lin family, or anyone else, no one would be able to obtain the absolute trust of the person in front of him.
Yan Ge also realized that he had accidentally exposed his inner thoughts, but since he had already said it, deliberately explaining would only make it more obvious, so he smiled and said: "So, this question of yours, is really hard for me to answer, and I don't dare to answer."
Lin Tianbiao nodded, and did not linger on this question.
"Then what do we do next?" He asked.
"What do we do?" Yan Ge looked at the dim light in the medicinal mist, "Let's first see what others do."
Others, then who?
Lin Tianbiao had doubts in his heart, but did not ask. He understood the principle of keeping secrets, some things you need to do, you don't need to know, even if he was the second son of the Green Peak Lin family, it was the same. Yan Ge said he wanted to see what others do, but did not tell him who this other person was. Obviously this matter would not be completed by him. Yan Ge would not only have one helper by his side, this Lin Tianbiao was very clear.
"There seems to be a guest coming." Yan Ge suddenly said.
"Do I need to step back?" Lin Tianbiao asked.
"No need." Yan Ge said.
"Yes." Lin Tianbiao nodded, and retreated half a step behind Yan Ge. The youngster who stood out amongst the newcomers, at this time he always appropriately restrained his brilliance. He stood where he was supposed to stand and waited quietly.
In truth, he did not sense anyone approaching, in this Seven Star Spring, his perception seemed to become sluggish. He was not sure if it was because of the environment, but he was more willing to believe that it was some kind of trick by Yan Ge. The Seven Star Spring was a very important place in Megrez Peak, and even in North Style Academy, but Yan Ge was at ease here as if it was his own home.
The medicinal mist gradually dispersed, and three figures came closer and closer. However, they did not look relaxed at all. They were only a few steps away from each other. It took them a long time to arrive in front of Yan Ge and Lin Tianbiao, but the solemn expression on their faces had yet to fade.
Zhuo Qing.
Shen Wuyin.
Lin Tianbiao immediately recognized two of them.
One was a newcomer from the same batch as him, and the other was an old man from the four courtyards of the Beishan New Academy. What was even more similar was their backgrounds — Xuan Jun Empire's State Protector Academy.
He was from the State Protector Academy. This already meant something, not to mention that Zhuo Qing was a member of the Zhuo Family. Although the Zhuo family couldn't compare to the four great families of the Xuan Army, their experience and loyalty in the Xuan Army Empire gave them a clear background. As for Shen Wuyin, Lin Tianbiao wasn't completely clear on his background. But on the Northern Mountain New Academy's side, he was the leader of the Xuan Army Empire, and he was very active in dealing with all kinds of newcomers.
It would only be a year before the people from the four academies were kicked out by the academy. Such a person was actually a core figure. If Lin Tianbiao still couldn't tell what was going on, he would really be blind.
But right now, what Lin Tianbiao was more concerned about was the one among the two.
This person's appearance, clothing, and temperament couldn't be any more ordinary. But Zhuo Qing and Shen Wuyin, these two people with a background, were following by his side. From this, it could be seen that this person was not simple. If he was ordinary, it could only mean that he was more reserved than Lin Tianbiao.
Lin Tianbiao stood behind Yan Ge, so he didn't see Yan Ge's expression. At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed across Yan Ge's face.
"What a great Misty Path." The person who came spoke.
"But it still can't stop a true expert." Yan Ge said.
"It can't stop him because I didn't really want to." The person said.
"Because I want to see who it is." Yan Ge said.
"It's me." The person said.
"If I didn't remember wrongly, your name should be Liu Wu?" Yan Ge said.
"Second Prince, you have a good memory. We only met once. Or rather, that can't even be counted as contact. I didn't expect you to actually call out my name. "Liu Wu replied.
He called Yan Ge as Second Prince. This title was not wrong, but in the entire North Style Academy. No one called Yan Ge this way. Even Lin Tianbiao, who was born in the Qingfeng Empire's official family, called Yan Ge senior brother here. The meaning behind Liu Wu's address was very clear. He wasn't speaking to Yan Ge as someone from the same school, but he was representing the background of both parties.
Xuan Army Empire and Qingfeng Empire.
"Please sit." Yan Ge pointed to the side. It was the few tree stumps that Lu Ping sat on before.
"Thank you." Liu Wu stepped forward. He sat. Yan Ge followed and sat opposite him. Lin Tianbiao, Zhuo Qing, Shen Wuyin and the others were standing behind the two. Their gazes met, but they didn't say anything.
"Since you came to find me, it seems like you have some understanding." Yan Ge said. This kind of unclear words, those who understood would be able to understand, but those who didn't, wouldn't be able to understand.
Liu Wu obviously understood, but he didn't answer Yan Ge directly.
"Since you let me in, it seems like you are willing to listen to what I have to say." Liu Wu said.
The Misty Dangerous Path was a custom-made place in the Seven Star Spring. Liu Wu and the other two had to go through a lot of trouble before they could enter. However, they knew very well that if the other party wanted to stop them, the Misty Path of Danger was enough to cause them more trouble and waste more time and energy. But now, it was just like that. Liu Wu who just passed through could completely feel the subtlety.
"Please speak." Yan Ge said straightforwardly.
"Lu Ping." Liu Wu only said one name.
"What can I get?" Yan Ge asked.
"When you need it, we will help once." Liu Wu said. Who are we? Liu Wu didn't say, and Yan Ge didn't intend to ask.
"Once?" Yan Ge seemed to have an objection here.
"He is only worth once." Liu Wu said.
"That's not the problem. The problem is, my sacrifice." Yan Ge smiled.
"Your sacrifice is very simple." Liu Wu said. "At this time, let him go to this place." Liu Wu didn't say it out loud, but sent a piece of paper to Yan Ge.
What he wanted was just one command from Yan Ge. What he wanted to make use of was Lu Ping's trust in Yan Ge.
Yan Ge didn't look at the piece of paper. To him, the important thing was only one sentence. He didn't seem to care much about the time and place.
He didn't think for too long, and already stood up.
"Deal." Yan Ge said.
"Very good." Liu Wu nodded and stood up.
"Then I won't send you off." Yan Ge said.
"Do we still need to rush out?" Liu Wu said.
"You didn't sacrifice too much, right?" Yan Ge smiled.
"That's true." Liu Wu actually nodded, and brought Zhuo Qing and Shen Wuyin back to the medicinal mist.
