Chapter 458: Chapter 203 Lan Yulian (Double Monthly Tickets at Month End)_3

“It seems you’re quite familiar with Zhang Hong?” Jade Lotus was sowhat curious.

When she t Yang Changhong, he was just about to leave, and they didn’t have much ti to communicate. Yang Changhong only ntioned that a man nad Wang Tao had co to Zijing City, that Wang Tao was very strong, and also a person of good character. If she could et him, she should try to establish a good relationship.

As for whether he was strong, it was hard to say since Yang Changhong might not have encountered many powerful Ability Users. However, his good character should be unquestionable. Jade Lotus trusted the judgent of this good sister of hers.

So she took Yang Changhong’s words to heart. But what she thought about wasn’t just establishing a good relationship—she wanted to recruit Wang Tao directly into the organization!

“We can be considered friends,”

Wang Tao shrugged. Although he hadn’t known Yang Changhong for long, they had a good understanding of each other; they should be considered friends.

“Just friends?”

Jade Lotus was a bit gossipy at heart because when Yang Changhong introduced Wang Tao, the praises were not like those for an Ordinary friend!

However, she didn’t ask any further. After all, today’s protagonist wasn’t Yang Changhong.

“So… what do you think, Mr. Wang?”

Jade Lotus’s eyes, captivating as they were, looked at Wang Tao with a smile.

“Are you talking about joining your club?”

“Yes.”

“I’m not interested.”

Wang Tao didn’t even think about it; he flatly refused.

“…”

Jade Lotus and Ying Feng both opened their mouths in surprise.

They hadn’t expected Wang Tao to refuse, and to do it so decisively at that.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Wang Tao guessed that Yang Changhong hadn’t told them about his plans to go to the military base; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so shocked.

“Why?”

Before Jade Lotus could speak, Ying Feng imdiately frowned and asked.

She felt Wang Tao wasn’t a petty person, so the small conflict from the afternoon should be considered water under the bridge.

Was Wang Tao’s refusal because of the Firefly Club? Could their Vast not even compare to a small Firefly Club?

One should know that this was an invitation personally extended by Jade Lotus! Wang Tao must be unaware of Jade Lotus’s strength; otherwise, he certainly wouldn’t have rejected it so decisively!

“It’s a matter of personal preference.”

Wang Tao didn’t elaborate.

“Alright then, I suppose I was being presumptuous.”

Disappointnt flickered across Jade Lotus’s face, but she quickly smiled again.

“I’m very curious, out of so many powerful people in Zijing City, why do you particularly hope for to join?”

Jade Lotus didn’t conceal the answer to this question.

“Because your background is relatively clear; you’re not from Zijing City and naturally couldn’t belong to any other faction. Coupled with what Zhang Hong has said about your good character, I think you’re quite suitable. If it were soone else… I wouldn’t trust them.”

Hearing this, Wang Tao suddenly understood that Zijing City was full of undercurrents. Recruiting soone was not just a simple matter for Jade Lotus; she didn’t trust other people.

Wang Tao then asked further:

“Since you want to reform and are considering recruiting n, you certainly won’t be recruiting just one, right? If you don’t trust other people, how will you recruit them?”

After Wang Tao asked this question, Jade Lotus and Ying Feng both fell silent for a mont.

The truth was, they wanted to recruit Wang Tao into their ranks for another reason they hadn’t ntioned. They had a very special Crystal Core that only a man could rge with.

If Wang Tao joined and passed so covert assessnts, Jade Lotus would give him this Crystal Core. As long as Wang Tao successfully rged with it, he could bring a boost in strength to their Vast.

But if Wang Tao didn’t want to join, then there was no way to discuss this with him since they didn’t want the matter of the Crystal Core to be exposed just yet.

“There are so reasons, but it’s inconvenient to discuss unless you agree to join.”

Jade Lotus playfully winked.

It couldn’t be denied that Jade Lotus was beautiful, with each frown and smile carrying charm, especially those electrifying peach blossom eyes—extrely captivating.

Wang Tao’s gaze didn’t flinch at all; he boldly t Jade Lotus’s eyes, then shrugged.

“Then that’s a pity.”

The three of them had been talking nonstop and had not yet begun to eat.

Jiang Shixue tugged at Wang Tao’s sleeve when she saw him stop, her big eyes turning towards the food. It was as if she was saying, “I want to eat.”

“Go ahead.”

Wang Tao patted Jiang Shixue on the head.

With permission, Jiang Shixue imdiately started eating.

She had always been well-mannered from a young age, and even though she had lost her mory, so things are ingrained and not easily forgotten. Thus, in non-combat situations, she was very ladylike in her everyday behavior, including her refined way of eating, which was a pleasant sight to behold.

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng saw Jiang Shixue’s well-behaved look and those innocent big eyes, and they both felt a surge of maternal love.

“Here, eat more!” they urged and began serving food onto Jiang Shixue’s plate.

Lu Yingfeng even gave Lan Yulian several aningful glances on the sly.

“Ahem, Mr. Wang. Perhaps with your strength, it doesn’t matter where you are. But Shixue is just an ordinary person, and putting her in the Firefly Club… It’s not that I look down on the Firefly Club, but it definitely isn’t as safe as Vast. If Shixue joins us at Vast, I guarantee that no one will be able to hurt her!”

Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao expectantly.

If they couldn’t pull Wang Tao over, securing Jiang Shixue was also good enough.

As for Wang Tao, her thoughts, to be frank, were also a kind of mutual use. But when it ca to Jiang Shixue, she genuinely liked her.

Such a sensible, well-behaved, and pure girl should be with them!

When Wang Tao heard this, he felt sowhat speechless.

Ordinary person? Not safe?

If only they knew about Jiang Shixue’s actual strength and the impurities within her, would they still think the sa?

“I won’t make decisions for Jiang Shixue; I respect her opinion,” he said.

Wang Tao turned to Jiang Shixue beside him.

“What do you think, Little Xue?”

Jiang Shixue put down her chopsticks and after swallowing the food in her mouth, she finally spoke:

“I want to be with Brother.”

Wang Tao spread his hands toward the two won.

“…”

Both won felt rather helpless.

Neither of the two they wanted had been won over!

However, they thought again, if they could recruit Wang Tao to their base, wouldn’t that be like getting a buy-one-get-one-free deal?

Exchanging glances, they instantly reached a consensus—they had to keep trying to persuade Wang Tao!

The truth was they didn’t care much about strength; even if he was strong, he probably wasn’t stronger than the two of them, right? What they needed was soone with good character and a clean background.

But they didn’t dwell on this matter for the ti being, knowing that talking too much could beco annoying.

Soon, the food on the table had all been eaten, most of which was consud by Jiang Shixue. She especially loved at and none of the three had competed with her for it; they let her have all the at.

Jiang Shixue was completely satisfied after the al, she wiped her mouth and said to Wang Tao in her good-natured way:

“Brother, I’m full.”

Lan Yulian suddenly felt a pang of heartache at the sight.

Jiang Shixue had eaten so much in one sitting, which clearly indicated that she hadn’t had a full al in a long ti!

Lu Yingfeng gave Wang Tao a sharp look, sensing that Jiang Shixue’s life with him mustn’t be good.

“How about this, for the next few days, you both co here for lunch, and I’ll go ask for more food from Zijin Base…” Lan Yulian suddenly suggested.

“Hmm?” Wang Tao was startled for a mont before nodding decisively, “No problem!”

It had been a long ti since he had eaten such proper food, and since there was an opportunity to freeload, why not take advantage of it?
