Du Tian became somewhat incoherent, unsure if it was due to excitement or frustration.
Of course, that was Li Chonglou's thought; anyone could see Du Tian's true intentions! Especially his last statement, which anyone with eyes could hear was forced.
It was a deep-seated unwillingness!
However, Li Chonglou paid no mind to it. With his words, half of his objective was achieved. Li Chonglou simply smiled and left directly.
As he moved away, he didn't forget to use his Heavenly Eye's scrying ability to see if anyone was following.
Only after confirming he was safe did he contact Su Qi.
"Got it done!"
"Good, we still have people watching here. Don't come over yet, I'll contact you later."
Su Qi's tone was slightly heavy, clearly indicating that Du Tian was highly suspicious that they were staging this themselves.
"Now, it's all up to young Du Yun."
That was a Soul Returning Pill. Although useless for cultivators, this world was, after all, a world ruled by money. Not all wealthy people were part of the inner circles!
This meant that if the pill fell into the martial world, it would still be capable of stirring up a bloody storm!
To call it priceless would be an understatement!
To use such a precious pill on someone he wasn't very familiar with, Li Chonglou would be lying if he said he wasn't a little pained. However, he wasn't someone with a small vision. As long as his objective could be achieved, it was worth it.
But that was also on the premise that the objective was achieved.
Li Chonglou returned to the inn with a sense of unease. As for Fang Si and the other two, from the moment he rescued Du Yun, there was no need to meet them again.
Even if Du Tian asked, Li Chonglou could simply say he didn't know to brush it off.
Meanwhile, in the forests on the outskirts of Wushan Town.
The three Li Chonglou had just thought of were already gathered.
"Boss, I really can't stand that brat. Let me take care of him later!"
"Mad Beggar" said coldly, "Don't just talk about you, I want to kill him too! It's been a long time since trash dared to speak to me like that."
Fang Si's face lit up with joy, "Boss, so you agree?"
"Mad Beggar" shook his head, "No, this trash can't be touched yet. Don't you sense the expert accompanying him?"
Fang Si said unwillingly, "I know, but he's only at the fourth level. If we team up for a sneak attack, maybe we can defeat him?"
At this moment, another subordinate also chimed in, "Actually, we just need to kill him and run. He can't be guarding him twenty-four hours a day."
The two's words made "Mad Beggar" quite waver.
Yes, even if there was an expert protecting him, so what? In the end, he was just an ordinary person. As long as they were fast enough, they could kill him before the other party could react!
However, "Mad Beggar" still maintained his composure and shook his head again.
"Let's wait for now. At this juncture, it's not worth offending an expert for some trash. Moreover, I suspect this person's identity is also not simple."
Fang Si was stunned for a moment.
"Boss, are you saying...?"
"Heh, of course, I'm talking about that expert. No matter how good the trash's identity is, he's still trash. Not worth mentioning!"
The two subordinates nodded simultaneously, not only agreeing with what "Mad Beggar" said but also with his previous statement.
Da Gan's aura was clearly not from the General Bureau. However, Su Qi and Tian You were seasoned veterans of the General Bureau. This made Da Gan's identity worth discussing for the three of them.
"Mad Beggar" murmured, "Perhaps it's from that rumored organization..."
At the same time, inside Su Qi's wooden house.
"Old Tian, have you ever thought about bringing "Mad Beggar" in?"
Su Qi stood by the window, vigilantly observing the outside while speaking in a low voice.
Tian You sat on the bed nearby. Because outsiders were watching, he wasn't circulating his cultivation technique, merely meditating with his eyes closed.
Hearing Su Qi's words, he slowly opened his eyes.
"I've thought about it long ago, but this guy's temperament is even more unstable than ours. I'm afraid he'll mess things up."
Su Qi withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "But there have been changes in the organization recently. Even an ordinary person can draw out the Captain. It should be a time when they need a lot of talent."
Speaking of this, Su Qi changed the subject.
"According to the organization's regulations, we have priority selection for people we recommend. When the time comes to form our own team, we can also secure a position within the organization!"
A glint flashed in Su Qi's eyes, and a meaningful smile crept onto his lips.
To possess their current status, and even to move between the two major organizations, these two could not possibly be ordinary experts. For their own futures, both had a far-reaching plan.
Hearing Su Qi mention this, Tian You's expression also became serious.
"Don't rush it. Shangjing has returned to a temporary peace with the General Bureau's vigorous efforts to salvage the situation. If we want to act and carve out our own territory, we still need to wait for an opportunity when chaos erupts!"
Su Qi sighed.
"I don't know which bastard caused those things in the Iron Forest, drawing the attention of other countries. Otherwise, the organization would have made its move long ago, and we might have already been fighting for territory instead of doing these boring missions."
If Li Chonglou were present at this moment, hearing Su Qi's words would undoubtedly make him realize the truth.
Since returning from the Iron Forest, he had always had a doubt about the higher-ups in Shangjing: although the rewards from the Iron Forest were good, and there was honor, it was absolutely not enough to warrant the high-level protection he received!
Joining the Dragon Group was expected, as he was aiming for that before going abroad.
But besides joining the Dragon Group, even the General Bureau, which officially represented Shangjing, knew very little about the secrecy of his identity! And Long Yi, as his captain, treated him with utmost politeness, almost to the point of granting any request.
In Li Chonglou's opinion, this treatment far exceeded the honor he had brought back!
And Su Qi's words at this moment revealed the truth!
It was a pity that Li Chonglou was currently thousands of meters away and didn't have super-hearing, so he missed the answer.
Tian You then comforted him, "Wait a bit longer. The General Bureau is only forcibly keeping it alive this time. Its lifeblood has long been declining, and great chaos is bound to happen sooner or later!"
The two exchanged a look and let out cold smiles.
Du Tian's men only guarded for a little more than half a day before being recalled. After all, the person had been rescued, and there was no point in continuing to monitor.
As soon as they left, Su Qi quickly called Li Chonglou.
"You can come over now. Should I go pick you up?"
"No need."
Having experienced being held under someone's arm once, Li Chonglou didn't want to repeat that feeling. Even if it meant walking for an hour, he was willing!
After a simple packing, Li Chonglou left the inn.
However, halfway there, he was suddenly blocked by a figure.
"It's you?"
Li Chonglou froze.
