262: Chapter 261: Waiting in Vain, Nearly Annihilated 262: Chapter 261: Waiting in Vain, Nearly Annihilated The bullet danced on the back of Ming Yang’s hand.
Ming Yang’s eyes revealed a struggle as he deeply sighed and collected the Spirit-breaking Bullet.
With both hands pillowed behind his head, his gaze was hollowly fixed on the ceiling, looking quite weighed down by thoughts.
He waited the whole night but didn’t see Lu Zixun, who was supposed to co after Ming Yang.
When the first rays of morning light fluttered against the hotel room curtains, Lu Zixun yawned with a look of profound weariness on his face.
At that mont, Lu Zixun started doubting himself again, wondering if his conjecture was wrong.
Taking advantage of Lin Siyin not yet being awake, Lu Zixun hurriedly flipped off the covers and burrowed into bed.
Nosing lightly in the fragrance of Lin Siyin’s shampoo, Lu Zixun gradually drifted into dreamland.
Fresh and energetic, Li ngling banged on Ming Yang’s door, “Beef Steak, get up for breakfast, we’re going to the water park to have fun!”
There was no response for a while, just as Li ngling began to wonder if Ming Yang had already gone out, the sound of the door lock clicking arose.
Ming Yang, with dark circles under his eyes and a look of defeat, poked his head out, listlessly raising his hand, “Morning.”
“Huh?”
Staring at Ming Yang in surprise, Li ngling’s mouth twitched slightly, “What happened to you?
Got too excited last night and couldn’t sleep?”
“Not at all.”
Shaking his head, Ming Yang, who had already thought up an excuse, replied without a mont’s hesitation, “I’m just not used to the bed, didn’t sleep well all night.”
Throwing Ming Yang a disdainful glance, Li ngling rolled her eyes, “It’s because you CEOs are always busy.
When your business grows, will you need to bring your own bed everywhere you go?”
After teasing him, Li ngling shook her head, “Sleep a bit longer, I’ll order you so breakfast.
Looks like we won’t be going out this morning.
Have breakfast and then sleep so more, I’ll co back in the afternoon to wake you.”
“Thanks.”
Ming Yang, leaning half against the door and yawning, expressed his gratitude with a half-closed, indifferent eyelid.
Turning her back to Ming Yang, Li ngling flashed a none-too-ladylike middle finger, “Hurry up and go to bed, if I can’t wake you this afternoon, I’ll just kick the door in, alright?”
“What’s with Da Ju?
He’s not usually this sleepy.”
Liu Shishi poked at the part of Lu Zixun’s head that was sticking out from under the covers, then turned to look at Lin Siyin with a puzzled expression.
“I’m not sure.”
Shaking her head, Lin Siyin pondered for a mont, “Maybe he played too hard yesterday.”
“What did he play to be so tired…”
Liu Shishi sighed and stood up to leave the room.
She reached the door and suddenly rembered sothing.
Peeking halfway out, Liu Shishi looked at Lin Siyin, “Si Yin, we’re going to go on playing at the water park, are you coming?”
“I’ll stay here and keep an eye on Da Ju.
Have fun,” Lin Siyin declined Liu Shishi’s invitation with a gentle smile.
“I knew it.”
Liu Shishi rolled her eyes at Lin Siyin and then disappeared from her view.
…
“Sect Hierarch, the materials are all ready.
We can contact Lord Cat at any ti, it’s just…”
The masked man kneeling on one knee before Chen Luoyang hesitated for a mont but still didn’t utter the second half of his sentence.
“”
“What is it?”
As he pushed up his gold-rimd glasses and took out a glasses case in an unhurried manner, Chen Luoyang glanced at the masked man from the corner of his eye.
“”
“My subordinate has sothing…”
Taking a deep breath, the masked man looked up and t Chen Luoyang’s gaze: “Forgive my presumption, but if Lord Cat learns the contents of this information, he might not help us.”
Knowing what the masked man was considering, Chen Luoyang continued to wipe his glasses without stopping.
He spoke with a casual deanor, “Lu Zixun’s assistance is sufficient but not necessary, while sharing this information with him is sufficient and necessary.
Do you understand what I an?”
A thoughtful look appeared in the masked man’s eyes as he nodded.
With a troubled expression, he said, “Instead of risking a fallout with Lord Cat, it might be better to keep this matter hidden.”
Putting the lens cloth back into its case and donning his gold-rimd glasses, which hid the sharpness in his eyes, Chen Luoyang said indifferently, “This matter cannot be concealed, because Lu Zixun is about to achieve an S-class breakthrough.
Let ask you…”
His gaze falling upon the masked man, Chen Luoyang continued, “What would happen to the Ancient God Church if, after Lu Zixun’s breakthrough to S-class, he learned of this affair from soone else?”
Considering the destructive power that S-class could bring, the masked man broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed before replying, “We…
might have to face the wrath of an S-class.”
“Exactly, and that’s why we should speak up sooner, right?”
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as Chen Luoyang gazed out of the floor-to-ceiling windows at Lingchuan City’s clear blue sky, his voice extended and lingering.
“The situation isn’t so dire.
In the end, we can not only gain Lu Zixun’s support but also give the people in the Crimson Land a headache.
Why wouldn’t we want that?”
Upon hearing this, the masked man pondered for a mont and then showed an expression of sudden realization: “I understand now, Sect Hierarch.”
“Go now.”
As the masked man was about to leave the room, Chen Luoyang frowned and called after him, “Keep an eye on Ming Yang.
I suspect he is from the Deceit God Temple.”
From the information reported by Shadow Kill yesterday, Chen Luoyang had directly investigated all of Ming Yang’s information, which was too clean.
Such an immaculately clean background imdiately aroused Chen Luoyang’s suspicions.
His suspicion of Ming Yang being from the Deceit God Temple was rely the most probable guess.
“Yes, Sect Hierarch.”
After the masked man had left, Chen Luoyang pulled open a drawer beneath his desk, his fingers dancing over a file for a mont.
Finally, he pulled out a docunt with a red sticky note attached.
As his slender fingers touched the folder, Chen Luoyang opened it with a profound look in his eyes.
At a glance, he could see several bolded red words: “Crimson Land, facing consecutive defeats against the Insect Clan, the defenders urgently need the blood of the offspring of the forr Guardian God to fortify the Array.”
He lifted his hand to touch his lips.
Chen Luoyang recalled an event—the last Swallowing Sky Cat Demon seed to have been called Ye Ye and was likewise forced into a desperate situation.
Had it not been for the ergence of a man in a black trench coat who intervened, it was feared that the Swallowing Sky Cat Demon clan would have been wiped out.
Placing the docunt on the desk, Chen Luoyang took out another file.
This file had a skull emblem on the top right corner, and upon seeing it, Chen Luoyang let out a sigh.
“Declaration of War.
The Crimson Land urgently requires fresh blood and hereby enforces the seizure of the Ancient God Sect’s influence in human society.
The Ancient God Sect is kindly requested to prepare for the handover before August.
Of course, the sooner, the better.”
He clenched his fist tightly.
Staring at the docunt, a cold murderous intent appeared in Chen Luoyang’s eyes.
