"By the way, didn't Lord Lanyue say that Huang San and Huang Jiu would both come?"
"Where is Huang San now?"
After a while, Xuan Liu suddenly remembered these things and then asked.
She knew Huang Jiu, who was Gu Yue, now lurking on Ye Cangtian's side. But she hadn't seen Huang San at all and was quite puzzled.
"Heh heh, I have my own arrangements for Huang San, you don't need to worry about that."
Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and didn't answer directly, which made Xuan Liu gnash her teeth in anger. They were all here to complete the mission, so what was there to hide?
*Clang clang clang!*
Just then, the basement door was knocked. Molly quickly went to open it.
It was one of Molly's subordinates who came. After whispering something into Molly's ear, he turned and left.
Molly then came to Ye Cangtian and said, "Lord Xuan Qi, the person below just reported that Miss Gui Wu wants to see you and asked you to go over..."
As she spoke, Molly cast a meaningful glance at Xuan Liu, her eyes full of helplessness.
She also knew about the bet between the two, but she didn't dare not report such a big matter!
What!
She actually came!
Xuan Liu's eyes widened, a little disbelieving.
Was Gui Wu an idiot? Even if she was an idiot, weren't there any smart people in the Eastern Japanese Ninja Division?
Xuan Liu gritted her teeth, thinking if she really had to give this scoundrel massages in the future, and be available on call?
Thinking of this, she wanted to cry.
"Heh heh, Xiao Liu Liu, you lost!"
"When we return to China, you'll have to learn some techniques well. I'll be waiting for your skills to improve..."
Seeing Xuan Liu on the verge of tears, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but tease her with a smile.
Then he nodded at Molly, signaling her to arrange the meeting with Gui Wu.
...
Shangri-La Mansion.
Seeing Gui Wu again, Ye Cangtian and Xuan Liu were both stunned.
They thought that Gui Wu had contacted them proactively, meaning she had decided to ally with the Dark Association.
But in the room.
Besides their side, there were also the young master of SkyNet and Nancy from the Temple of Light.
What was the purpose of calling both sides here?
And this was only considering both sides, it was three sides.
The young master of SkyNet was also wondering the same thing.
However, Nancy, who was beside him, wasn't thinking about these things. Instead, her beautiful eyes were staring fiercely at Xuan Qi, as if looking at the enemy who killed her father.
She still remembered that night, by the small bridge, the scene where her clothes were all torn by the other party...
"Welcome back to the mansion, everyone!"
"I believe you must be anxious for the Ninja Division's decision. Let me get straight to the point."
"After deliberation by the Ninja Division, we have decided to hand over the ancient zither to the Dark Association. As for cooperation, we will discuss it later..."
Gui Wu got straight to the point, without any delay.
Both the Dark Association and the Temple of Light had been lingering in Dongdu for a long time and were anxious. They had to give an answer to avoid any accidents.
Besides, the Rattlesnake Mercenary Group was under too much pressure, so they had to make a decision quickly.
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Ye Cangtian and Xuan Liu's eyes showed smiles.
Handing over the ancient zither to them was equivalent to showing goodwill. Next, they should start cooperating, and they could be considered to have completed their mission.
But when they heard the latter part, their brows furrowed again. They had already handed over the ancient zither, but then refused to cooperate. Could it be that the Ninja Division wanted to cooperate with the Temple of Light?
Similar thoughts had also appeared in the minds of Nancy and the young master of SkyNet.
However, their expressions were somewhat unusual.
Not getting the ancient zither made the young master of SkyNet feel a bit embarrassed, after all, with the ancient zither, they would have a bargaining chip to restrain Gu Yue.
Secondly, since the other party handed over the ancient zither to the Dark Association, did it indicate their stance of allying with the Dark Association?
Thinking this, Nancy glanced at Gui Wu and said gloomily, "Gui Wu, can I take it that the Ninja Division and the Dark Association are planning to collude in secret?"
"No! Whether it's overt or covert, we will not cooperate with the Dark Association and the Temple of Light for the time being."
"It's just that because the ancient zither belongs to Huang Jiu, a relative of the Dark Association, we handed over the ancient zither to the Dark Association. The Ninja Division does not want to offend any of the parties!"
"So, we can only apologize to SkyNet and the Temple of Light."
Gui Wu bowed apologetically to Nancy.
To be honest, she was also surprised by the decision made by the Ninja Division and couldn't figure it out.
But after asking around, she suddenly understood.
"Miss Gui Wu, have you really made a decision?"
"You know, SkyNet is not to be trifled with. You handed over our prey to the Dark Association, are you planning to be enemies with SkyNet?"
Hearing Gui Wu's words, the young master of SkyNet's face finally turned grim.
He had offered a very high price to the Ninja Division to obtain the ancient zither and to restrain Gu Yue, but they handed the person over to the Dark Association.
Wasn't this playing him for a fool?
The SkyNet side negotiated with a low and humble attitude, while the Dark Association's attitude was tough and malicious, but they laughed to the end. If this news got out, what face would SkyNet have?
"The decision cannot be changed!"
"As I said, the Ninja Division just doesn't want to get involved. As for what the young master of SkyNet thinks, that's your business."
"Also, as a side note, since SkyNet and the Temple of Light are cooperating, their strength must be incredibly powerful. What can't they get? Why bother targeting a weak woman..."
Gui Wu glanced at the young master of SkyNet and said faintly.
She didn't take him seriously. Although SkyNet was a giant organization in the assassin world, its strength was just that.
It was only because of the support of the Temple of Light behind it. Otherwise, in front of the Ninja Division, what was SkyNet?
And she believed that the Temple of Light would not fall out with the Ninja Division because of this.
After all, the Ninja Division was currently neutral. If they were pushed to the brink, what if the Ninja Division really joined the Dark Association?
"Since that's the case, I hope the Ninja Division keeps its word!"
"If our Temple of Light detects that your Ninja Division and the Dark Association are secretly colluding, then don't blame our Temple of Light for being ruthless."
Nancy's face was icy, but she also knew that Gui Wu was essentially just a mouthpiece.
The real decision maker was the high-level management of the Ninja Division, so no matter what she said now, it couldn't change this fact.
Saying this, Nancy left a word and turned to leave the mansion.
Seeing Nancy leave, the young master of SkyNet, despite his unwillingness, could only snort coldly and also left the mansion.
After all, without the Temple of Light, SkyNet's strength was inferior to the Ninja Division.
Watching the two leave one after another, Ye Cangtian's gaze fell on Gui Wu, and then he said, "Miss Gui Wu, since the decision has been made, when can you hand the person over to us?"
"As long as Steward Xuan Qi is willing, it can be anytime."
Gui Wu smiled slightly and continued, "But as you know, Gu Qin first assassinated Kawada Yuto, and then fell into Kawada Yuto's hands, so after handing over the person this time, I hope in the future..."
Gui Wu's meaning was very clear: since the person had been handed over, everything would be bygones. She hoped that the grievances between the Gu sisters and the Kawada family would be written off.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded, then said, "Don't worry, we understand this... Why not strike while the iron is hot? How about I go to the Kawada family to pick up the person today?"
Gui Wu nodded and did not refuse, saying, "Okay, I'll start contacting them now."
