366: Chapter 362: Red Cloud Sect Disciple (Third Update!) 366: Chapter 362: Red Cloud Sect Disciple (Third Update!) “Zhou Li, is the person you’ve been waiting for this yellow-haired kid?”
Seated amidst clouds of smoke, Baili Muu withdrew his gaze from Lin Tian and sneered as he beckoned dismissively, “What a pissant kid.
There are thousands, if not hundreds, of those in Bin City!
But to make you address him as Mister, it seems he’s got quite the background!
Cut the crap and sit down already, let’s discuss the important matters!”
Zhou Li’s face chilled as he was about to rebuke him.
“Elder Zhou, it’s fine, you guys go ahead and talk!”
Lin Tian hurriedly gestured with his hands and then sat down on the sofa in the back row with Dongfang Qu Ling.
Zhou Li’s expression softened as he took a deep breath and sat back down.
“Hmph, looking at the stature, are you the son of some top bigwig from Bin City?
But regardless of which, coming from whatever family, in front of a high being like Lord Guardian, all are trash!”
Perhaps reminded of the powerful means of Lord Guardian Sikou Zhen, Baili Muu’s eyes flickered with fervor and admiration, then ignored Lin Tian and addressed Zhou Li, “Although I’m not sure what Lord Guardian is thinking, or what benefits you’ve offered to his venerability that he wants me to cooperate with you.”
“But since Lord Guardian has spoken, I, Baili Muu, am a man who can be flexibly strong and soft.
From now on, we are partners!
Shall we drink to that?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Li nodded in agreement.
He wasn’t the type to let pride stand in the way of profit.
If there was money to be made, why not work together?
At his age, he was an old hand, seeing through everything!
Raising his glass, Zhou Li smiled and said, “Master Muu, since Lord Guardian thinks highly of us, I, Zhou Li, am not one to refuse honors.
We shall strengthen our cooperation.
My Sea City Group will need much attention from your Gale Group!”
That won’t be a problem!
Our Gale Group has only recently established a division in the Huaxia District, so we’ll need Elder Zhou to look after us!”
Baili Muu laughed heartily and clinked glasses with Zhou Li.
So it’s the front company for Black Spirit Platform!
Seated on the back sofa, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, secretly surprised.
Zhou Li’s face suddenly fell, and he said with a wry smile, “It’s just that I’ve encountered some trouble!
I mentioned it to Lord Guardian before, and I didn’t expect him to have returned to the Immortal Mountain Sect!
It seems I might not escape this disaster after all!”
Hearing this statement, Lin Tian was taken aback, turned his head toward Dongfang Qu Ling, looked at her neat short hair and attractive profile, and asked in a low voice, “What trouble has Elder Zhou encountered?”
Seeing Lin Tian almost leaning into her ear, Dongfang Qu Ling blushed unexpectedly and whispered back, “Remember the enemy called Shi Chong that Grandpa Zhou encountered last time?
His Sect, Iron Sword, wants to cause trouble!
This time, it seems there might be someone more powerful than a Martial Arts Grandmaster appearing, possibly even from the legendary Immortal Mountain Sect…
I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but whoever is coming this time is definitely aggressive.
If there’s no way to resist, Grandpa Zhou might have to give up Bin City and leave!
Maybe he won’t even be able to get away.”
“The Lord Guardian from Black Spirit Platform said he would help, but suddenly he had to rush back to the sect, so they can only ask you to come and see if there’s anything that can be done!”
Even Cultivation Sects are involved?
Lin Tian frowned, pondering internally.
Across the way, Baili Muu burst out laughing, shaking his head and saying, “Chairman Zhou, don’t worry about that matter.
Lord Guardian has his plans all set!
Since he values you so much, he definitely won’t leave you in the lurch!
In a moment, several True Master Disciples under Lord Guardian will arrive quickly!
The abilities of these few Immortals are not the slightest bit weaker than Lord Guardian himself.
Your troubles are but a small matter in their hands!
But may I ask, Chairman Zhou, what Treasure have you given to Lord Guardian?
Otherwise, I cannot believe that his venerability would care for any of the worldly wealth!”
Zhou Li was momentarily taken aback, somewhat confused.
Previously, when the other party had taken the initiative to contact him, seeking cooperation from Baili Muu, he hadn’t even managed to react.
He certainly hadn’t sent out any treasures!
Just then, a flurry of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Soon after, four figures pushed open the door to the private room and walked in.
The people in the private room couldn’t help but turn to look.
The four newcomers were two men and two women.
The leader was a young man with a tall stature, dressed in a light red brocade robe, about twenty-five years old or so.
He had fair skin, a handsome face, and eyes like stars, exuding a calmness as undisturbed as an ancient well, which carried a sense of unfathomable depth.
The other man was a thin and dark-skinned youth, also around the same age.
As soon as he entered, his chilling gaze swept around the room.
The remaining two women, both looking to be around nineteen or twenty years old, were dressed in pure white ancient costumes.
With hair like waterfalls and skin whiter than snow, they seemed to have stepped out of a painting, exuding an aura of otherworldly grace.
Of the two women, one had a gentle demeanor with soft facial features, while the other had an icy expression.
Upon entering, her proud and disdainful air was unmistakable, and she expressed these feelings unabashedly.
“Baili Muu pays respects to the Immortal!”
Upon recognizing the four newcomers, Baili Muu’s face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly stood up, bowing respectfully to them.
The two youths standing behind Baili Muu, who appeared to be superpower users, also didn’t dare to neglect their manners and followed suit with their greetings.
Zhou Li and Dongfang Qu Ling could guess the identity of the four arrivals and quickly stepped forward to pay their respects.
You should remember us; my name is Ding Yutang, the eldest disciple under my master, Sikou Zhen!
This is my junior brother, Deng Gang!”
The handsome young man spoke calmly, as if the greetings before him were unsurprising, or as if they didn’t exist at all.
Pointing to the gentle woman, he said, “Her name is Qin Peilan, my junior sister!
And the other is our youngest, Xu Zhuyun!
We are all disciples of the Red Cloud Sect!”
“I am introducing us so clearly because we will be staying in Bin City for a while, and we may need to trouble you with many things!”
Baili Muu’s face showed a flattered and apprehensive expression, and he said, “You honor us with your words, Immortal!
It is my privilege to be able to attend to the four of you!”
Ding Yutang nodded slightly and then scanned the other people in the room, asking, “Who is Zhou Li?”
“I am Zhou Li, and I have seen the Immortal!”
Zhou Li quickly bowed down, replying respectfully.
“This time, we have come on a mission given by our master!”
Ding Yutang nodded, saying, “Master said that you are an old friend of his in the secular world, who has run into trouble with the Iron Sword Sect!
Since the master had urgent business to return to the sect, he sent us to help you with the trouble that will arise in half a month.
Originally, we were out on experience training from our mountain gate, and now we will conveniently help you solve this issue!”
“In half a month, we will come to find you.
We’ll meet at the East Ridge of Bin City!”
Hearing this, Zhou Li’s face burst with ecstatic gratitude, and he bowed repeatedly, saying, “Thank you, Immortals, for saving my life!”
Ding Yutang gave a slight nod, ready to lead his group out.
But just then, the girl Xu Zhuyun, who had maintained a cold demeanor with pride in her brows, suddenly fixed her gaze on Lin Tian and sharply reprimanded, “Who are you?
You dare not stand and pay respects when my senior brother and our group have arrived?”
