"Putting other things aside, if it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even be able to identify the identities of those two people."
There was one thing Li Chonglou didn't say, and that was if it were someone else, they would likely have become pawns for those two, dying without even knowing how!
Du Tian chuckled, "This is all just you talking to yourself. Do you really think I'll believe all of it?"
Li Chonglou shook his head, "Of course not, but it's already enough."
Du Tian's brows furrowed immediately, "What do you mean?"
"With Mr. Du Tian's words, it proves what I said. Mr. Du Tian, to some extent, agrees. Then, as long as I present all the evidence to Mr. Du Tian, we'll have reached a cooperation, won't we?"
"Who said I wanted to cooperate with you? You think too highly of yourself, young man. Confidence is good, but arrogance can be dangerous in this world."
Du Tian sneered, his remark rendering all of Li Chonglou's previous efforts useless, as his intention was clear: he wouldn't cooperate!
Li Chonglou sighed, "Mr. Du Tian, you are a senior, and there are things I cannot say too much. I came this time purely for mutual benefit. Cooperation is not about you achieving me, or me achieving you."
"Rather, it's about us each getting what we need."
"If senior simply believes I am unqualified because I am a junior, then I apologize for disturbing you tonight."
With that, Li Chonglou stood up and turned to leave without any hesitation.
Du Tian was stunned in place for a moment.
Li Chonglou's words were very polite, but as an old hand in the Jianghu, Du Tian understood the underlying meaning perfectly. It was a clear implication that Du Tian himself was the arrogant one!
This made Du Tian's expression turn extremely unpleasant again!
How many years had it been since anyone dared to speak to him like that!
Until Li Chonglou's figure completely disappeared, Du Tian stared in that direction with icy eyes.
Just then, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind old man Du Tian, also looking in the direction Li Chonglou had left, and said in a deep voice, "Shall I go take care of him!"
The dark figure had remained in the room the entire time and had heard everything between the two. Although Li Chonglou's attitude had been polite and humble, he could still sense Du Tian's emotional changes!
What surprised him was that Du Tian, who was clearly displeased, rejected the suggestion, saying, "No, what this fellow said makes a lot of sense!"
The dark figure looked up to see that Du Tian's expression had returned to calm.
"Then, Mr. Du, you just now..."
The dark figure also addressed Du Tian with respect. Old man Du Tian sighed and explained, "I was angry just now because it's been a long time since anyone has spoken to me like that, and also because what this fellow said is the truth."
The dark figure listened, utterly confused. Old man Du Tian smiled and explained in plain terms, "It's just that I was reluctant to admit my mistakes, especially when pointed out by such a young junior."
The dark figure shook his head, "Mr. Du, even if you miscalculated, it was just a momentary oversight. I believe Mr. Du would have realized it himself sooner or later, and it wouldn't have been necessary for him to say it."
Du Tian smiled, "You can't say that. If you're wrong, you're wrong. In any case, not only should you not touch this kid, but you should also secretly protect his safety."
"I am genuinely curious, how can someone with no strength at all have such confidence?"
The dark figure didn't notice anything unusual about "no strength," as he also couldn't sense any internal energy from Li Chonglou. However, he showed admiration for Du Tian's attitude.
"Mr. Du having this kind of thinking already surpasses many people."
Du Tian smiled and then fell silent again.
If anyone had seen his eyes, they would have noticed a deep interest gleaming within them.
Meanwhile, it had been half an hour since Li Chonglou left the house. Six more experts were guarding outside. In fact, Li Chonglou had already discovered the dark figure inside the house.
However, he was no longer worried about these people. He had a good understanding of Du Tian, at least in terms of his personality. As for the matters mentioned by Qiu Bai, many things still couldn't be verified.
However, there was one discrepancy: he didn't find any seed cultivation at Du Tian's residence.
But this could also be explained by the fact that the cultivation had been successful and deliberately cleared to hide it.
"I can't rush Qiu Bai's matter. I still need to take care of the main business first."
Li Chonglou thought to himself and quickened his pace.
This departure wasn't to hurry back and rendezvous with Su Qi and the other. Instead, after observing that no one was watching, he ducked into the nearby mountain forest.
Before long, a faint blue light suddenly illuminated the forest. Although weak, it shot straight into the sky!
Fortunately, the distance was far, and the surroundings were sparsely populated, so it didn't attract anyone's attention. A moment later, Li Chonglou emerged from the forest and glanced back at the spot where the blue light had originated.
"Senior Wen Yi, rest in peace."
Without the soul fusion, Li Chonglou could only rally his spirits. In this situation, it was best to have Old Lin ready at all times, as he was experienced and quick to react.
However, he had been in Wushan Town for two days. Although it was a place of hidden talents, he hadn't encountered any real threats yet, except for Su Qi and his companion.
Li Chonglou knew from the beginning that those two had ulterior motives, including their sudden arrangements. However, they were still hiding their intentions quite well for now, and Li Chonglou wanted to see what they were up to.
When he returned to their house, it was already past one in the morning. Only Su Qi was inside.
"Senior Tian You hasn't returned yet?"
Su Qi shook his head, "Not yet. If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention with too many people, I would have gone with him."
His task was to investigate in the town, but it was late at night, and in Wushan Town, you couldn't find a single person, let alone a ghost. So, after the three separated, he had returned to their residence.
Of course, this was according to what Su Qi said. Li Chonglou nodded and replied, "Then let's wait together. We'll talk after he gets back."
Su Qi, who was about to ask something, swallowed it back. But then he thought about it, if he told him now, he would have to tell Tian You the same thing when he returned. It would be better to tell them all at once when he got back.
Thinking of this, Su Qi's face showed concern again, "I wonder if his side is going smoothly. If he gets discovered, it will be a bit troublesome."
"A bit troublesome," Li Chonglou said nothing, just responded casually.
Su Qi put on a very worried expression, stood up, and walked to the window, facing outwards.
What Li Chonglou couldn't see was that as Su Qi turned his back, a cold smile appeared on his face.
