At the same time.
In a hotel in Beijing.
Liu Xiaojiang sat on the sofa and listened in on the conversation between Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye through Er Zhuang's ability. At the same time, he was enjoying being fed by a beautiful woman like an emperor. However, he did not seem to be enjoying this kind of treatment at all.
He noticed that Shen Chong, Xia He, Windsor, and Chen Duo were looking at him from time to time in the room. He only felt that Er Zhuang, who was peeling grapes and feeding himself, was like torturing himself in an extremely cruel way. He would not have any thought of enjoying himself under such circumstances.
After all, although everyone present could be considered his own people, and they all knew that the relationship between him and Er Zhuang was very strange, they also understood that the two of them had not really exposed anything. Under the gaze of these guys, he had no choice but to be at Er Zhuang's mercy, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Although Liu Xiaojiang still did not quite understand what kind of relationship he had with Er Zhuang, he could completely understand why everyone in the room was looking at him strangely.
Those present, like Shen Chong and Windsor, at most, felt that this situation was a little unexpected. They did not expect Liu Xiaojiang to have such a humane side. Their curious and amused gazes … did not make Liu Xiaojiang feel too awkward.
Chen Duo seemed to be used to this kind of thing. She was just observing Liu Xiaojiang and Er Zhuang's behavior …
Xia He was completely different from the others. She was not curious about Liu Xiaojiang's humane side. Although she also felt that Liu Xiaojiang's reaction was very interesting, her gaze was more … teasing and ridiculing Liu Xiaojiang. This was the source of Liu Xiaojiang's embarrassment.
"Hmph …" Xia He noticed Liu Xiaojiang's gaze and seemed to feel that she had seen enough of the good show. She could not help but slowly raise the corners of her mouth and say,
"This Zhang Chulan is really smart. He doesn't put himself in danger at all. If it weren't for what happened to his grandfather back then, I think he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to come into contact with the Inhuman circle …"
"Do you think he's smart?" As if he had found his savior, Liu Xiaojiang immediately took the opportunity to get rid of Er Zhuang's feeding. He lowered his head and looked at the mobile phone on the table that was used to monitor Zhang Chulan and Wang Ye.
"Zhang Chulan is indeed a rather shrewd fellow. He is well aware of the fact that opportunities and risks coexist. He knows what is worth the risk, so unless it is absolutely necessary … Zhang Chulan will never do anything stupid that doesn't benefit him."
"However …"
"Perhaps because of his many years of experience, he isn't absolutely rational in certain matters. Instead, he will make decisions that are completely opposite to his normal self when he knows that there are risks involved. After all, he's just a very smart young man …"
He thought of the people he had recently come into contact with, especially the old man who clearly had no power but still made him feel helpless.
Although he felt that Zhang Chulan was shrewd enough for his age, he still felt that when the old man was Zhang Chulan's age, perhaps because of his status … he might still be better than Zhang Chulan in terms of vision.
After all, the old man had roughly guessed what he wanted to do based on the news and rumors without any contact with him. After that, the old man immediately reversed his relatively weak position and forced a person with power like him to have no choice but to submit to him.
Of course …
The reason why Liu Xiaojiang agreed with the old man was that there were indeed many areas in the old man's plan that coincided with his own. Therefore, as long as it didn't harm his own interests, he didn't mind this kind of favor that was equivalent to pushing the boat along the current.
Even if he couldn't get anything in return in the end …
"Sect Leader …" Shen Chong didn't deny Zhang Chulan's intelligence, but he couldn't help but reach out to push up his glasses and remind him.
"This Wind Empress Mystical Door sounds quite tricky. Even if you don't know anything, you can still find out the secrets that others deliberately hide through divination and the like … Not to mention, it can also completely suppress Wuhou Mystical Door in terms of spells … Do you really want to let it go?"
Upon hearing that.
Liu Xiaojiang looked at Shen Chong, who seemed to be reminding him out of kindness.
"Through Heaven Talisman, Spirit Hunter, Wind Empress Mystical Door, Hundred Refinement of Divine Armaments, Immortal Thief Liuku, Dual Mastery, Origin of Gas …"
"These eight strange skills are either in my hands or have already been confirmed as the owners of the skills. Currently, only the Daluo Cave is still missing …"
"Originally …"
"I only wanted to ensure that they would be completely cut off in the hands of this generation of mutants. Therefore, I didn't choose to be in a hurry to retrieve the skills that had already been confirmed by us. I only expressed to them the reason why these skills had to be cut off."
"Through Heaven Talisman, Spirit Hunter, Hundred Refinement of Divine Armaments, Immortal Thief Liuku, and Dual Mastery. Now, it has been confirmed that they won't be passed down to anyone else. It can even be said that they are completely in our hands …"
"However, it's still not enough …"
At this point …
He slowly raised his arm, clenched his fist, and said:
"If it's according to my current thoughts, once these skills are passed down in the future, perhaps it will soon cause chaos among the crowd. After all, when everything can be considered to be starting over, it's hard to guarantee that no one will want to use strength to obtain a higher status."
"Therefore, we should reexamine these so-called eight strange skills …"
"Wind Empress Mystical Door and Origin of Gas …"
"I will find an opportunity to retrieve them from their owners. As for the missing Zenith Cave, I have some clues from Wang Ye's side …" Rhode shook his head and said.
"The next step …"
"I plan to prioritize dealing with the problem of the eight strange skills. After the problem of these unique skills is solved, we can begin to satisfy those people's fantasies of horror …"
"Sect Leader, do you need us to do anything?" Shen Chong nodded to indicate that he understood and asked.
"The Feng Family's World Society …" Liu Xiaojiang looked up at Shen Chong. "You've been there with me before, so you know that Fung Jung-ho isn't simple. You should go and confirm the Feng Family's attitude first."
"If they don't intend to abide by the original agreement and still want to continue to pass down the Spirit Hunter in the family, you … know what to do, right?"
Hearing this..,
Shen Chong smiled and reached out to push up his glasses again. He said, "Mr. Feng is now a person who values his family very much … Of course, I know what to do."
"However, I don't think that a person like Mr. Feng would be stupid enough to go against the original agreement. On the contrary, if he even has the thought of joining the Holistic Family … or not becoming enemies with the Sect Leader in the future, we should also let him understand who the Holistic Family is, right?"
"I'll leave it all to you …" Liu Xiaojiang nodded slightly with a calm expression.
"If you need to use those members of the Holistic Family as tools, then say that it's an order from me, the Sect Leader. As for whether they live or die in the end … You can decide for yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking..,
Liu Xiaojiang stood up from the sofa and looked out of the window with flickering eyes.
"… I didn't expect the backup plan left on Wang Ye to play its role so quickly. It seems that the main target of that mysterious person back then … was indeed not me."
