Chapter 353 Encountering an Acquaintance

Just as Fang Yue was thinking about this, he suddenly seemed to notice something and stopped in his tracks.

Because he heard the name of a sect.

"I'm telling you, I'm from the Liehuo Sect (Blazing Fire Sect), how could I possibly trick you! Hurry up and sell me the pills, kid. You won't find another chance like this!"

Liehuo Sect?

Fang Yue looked in the direction of the voice and was slightly stunned.

Because he saw someone who could be called an acquaintance.

If he remembered correctly, his name was… Tianlong?

Fang Yue stared for a while before finally confirming that this guy was one of the players he had met in Qingsi County, Tianlong!

But how did this guy become a member of the Liehuo Sect?

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yue said to Ming, "Wait here for a moment."

"What's wrong?"

"I saw an acquaintance. I'm going to say hello."

An acquaintance?

Ming narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction Fang Yue was walking, but she couldn't recognize anyone there.

If she didn't recognize them, then it meant… the two people Fang Yue was going to see were insignificant characters.

But… these are the people Captain Ye wants to find…

Ming suddenly felt a little insecure again.

For no other reason than the fact that Fang Yue's progress in strength was too monstrous!

In just about two months, he had risen to such a height. She couldn't ignore any attitude of such a monstrous talent.

Could there be a deeper meaning hidden in anyone he paid attention to?

Even if Fang Yue himself might not be aware of it, in the eyes of outsiders, Fang Yue was a peerless genius, and every word and action might have some deep meaning, making people think too much.

"With his strength, perhaps in less than a hundred years, he will have a chance to… ascend to immortality!"

"But this world… is a bit special."

Ming retracted her thoughts and observed Fang Yue in the distance.

Soon, she discovered that Fang Yue really just went over to say hello.

Although the other party seemed very excited to grab Fang Yue's hand, wanting to treat him, wanting an autograph, and so on, which was puzzling, Fang Yue just vaguely agreed and then came back to join her.

What is this guy… thinking?

Ming glanced at Fang Yue, whose expression was normal.

Ahead, they could already see the entrance to the Blackbird Auction, so Ming restrained her thoughts and stopped thinking too much.

Fang Yue followed beside Ming, looking perfectly normal, but was actually sending frantic friend messages to Tianlong, asking for information.

This was the advantage of players.

Natives like Ming had no way of knowing their special communication methods.

Fang Yue hadn't added Tianlong as a friend before, after all, during the battle in Qingsi County, Tianlong was just one of the many subordinates and hadn't been noticed by Fang Yue.

If Jing Yan and the others hadn't had some interaction with Tianlong, added him as a friend, and had some communication, leaving Fang Yue with a slight impression, he probably wouldn't even recognize him now.

But now, seeing him in Jing City, Fang Yue would naturally add him as a friend first.

Once they were friends, unless the distance was too far, or one of them went offline, they could chat however they wanted without worrying about being noticed.

In addition, when Fang Yue first arrived in Jing City, he had tried sending tail messages, but the tail always showed that the distance was too far, so Fang Yue had temporarily ignored it.

Anyway, he had his real-world phone number, so he could definitely contact him if he wanted to.

By the time he followed Ming and sat down in the seats at the Blackbird Auction, Fang Yue had already gotten most of the information from Tianlong.

It turned out that after leaving the sect, Tianlong had left Qingsi County.

Along the way, he and two other friends, Sanyue and Qiyue, went to Jing City to study, wanting to join the Liehuo Sect.

Along the way, Tianlong met his dream lover, made a lifelong commitment, and once gave up his martial arts dreams to stay in a small village.

Sanyue and Wuyue had no choice but to leave together and continue to Jing City.

He, on the other hand, enjoyed more than ten days of peaceful and happy life, but then the village was attacked by something bizarre, the village was destroyed, and his dream lover was even possessed by something bizarre, and he personally killed her.

After much soul-searching, Tianlong awakened his desire for martial arts and embarked on the journey again. Then he arrived in Jing City, found the Liehuo Sect, and begged to become a disciple.

After working hard for a long time, with the help of Sanyue and Wuyue, two internal spies who had already joined the sect, he finally succeeded in entering.

Although his foundation started a bit late, Tianlong finally officially became a disciple of the Liehuo Sect.

Now that he had a status and his strength had improved, he began to do sect missions, earn contribution points, and exchange them for more advanced martial arts.

This time, he came to Jing City for a sect mission as well.

But on the way, he saw someone setting up a chess puzzle. How could he endure that? He decisively switched online and offline, using the AlphaGo AI algorithm to defeat the puzzle stall owner, win a great victory, and obtain the Cuckoo Tower Token!

Cuckoo Tower was a good place. Many things that couldn't be bought outside could be bought here. In order to obtain cultivation resources, he wanted to get a job here and get some benefits.

However, the first task made Tianlong a bit difficult because the task was to extract information about the Liehuo Sect.

Although it was just very marginal, very ordinary information, content that any Liehuo Sect disciple knew, and even many outsiders knew, Tianlong was still a bit hesitant.

"A true man cannot do anything that is sorry to his sect!"

Fang Yue saw Tianlong send him this message, and then, immediately following, was a second message.

"Unless it includes free food and accommodation!!"

Fang Yue: ???

I'm speechless.

After looking closely, it turned out that the person trading with Tianlong had offered a high price, many pills suitable for his cultivation, so Tianlong betrayed them on the spot!

As expected of you! Tianlong-san!

Fang Yue's face darkened, but he didn't say much.

Not everyone had his circumstances, and not everyone had great opportunities.

In the absence of opportunities, using what one has to exchange for greater benefits, in the eyes of players like Tianlong, there was nothing wrong with that. It's just that Fang Yue didn't like this behavior of selling information about one's own organization in exchange for benefits.

Besides Tianlong's own experiences and some information,

Most importantly, Fang Yue obtained some information about Jing City.

It had to be said that Tianlong's time in Jing City before him wasn't wasted. Even if he was doing it to better his own life in Jing City, he was indirectly scouting out information for Fang Yue.

In Jing City, the most dazzling people were the four princes who managed the Cuckoo Tower.

The First Prince, Qing Qianyang, had a wide circle of friends and was ambitious. Even outsiders could see that he was determined to win the throne.

The Second, Third, and Fourth Princes, although they had all obtained resources from the Cuckoo Tower, were clearly less competitive than the First Prince.

However, their ambitions were equally great. They were constantly using small tricks in the dark, using the resources they could control in the Cuckoo Tower to form factions, recruit talents, and also had ideas of making a name for themselves.
