Chapter 1410

"Why persuade him? Didn't he already say he was confident?"

Lin Lao was at a loss for words.

He said he was confident, and you trust him just like that?

The opponent is the Demi-God Clan!

Hearing the constant 'clattering and banging' coming from Xue Jiulan's side, he asked:

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing much." Because the environment was noisy, Xue Jiulan had to raise her voice. "It's just that Mayor Tang of the Capital wants to build a statue of that kid at the entrance of the Jingyu Academy."

"I did try to persuade him, but that kid doesn't like all that superstitious stuff."

"But he's still going his own way."

"Since I have nothing to do, I came over to take a look."

Xue Jiulan seemed to see something and suddenly shouted: "Hey, hey! Save that spot for me!"

"Didn't I tell you already?"

"You have to write a label there: 'Mentor Xue Jiulan'!"

Lin Lao could vaguely hear a voice coming from the other end of the communicator.

"But General Xue, wouldn't this position be too conspicuous?"

"Don't you worry, all these important interpersonal relationships will be engraved on the pedestal when the time comes!"

"The pedestal? Who looks at the pedestal when looking at a statue?"

"Hello? General Lin, I'm a bit busy here, so I won't chat with you anymore."

"In short, don't bother trying to persuade that kid regarding the decisions he's made; there's no need for it!"

"Hanging up!"

"Beep, beep, beep."

Lin Lao's eyebrows twitched.

His anger flared up instantly.

He shouldn't have agreed to that guy Shi Zhixin back then.

To let Xue Jiulan take Li Yao under her wing!

Lin Lao walked down the corridor of the Federation Headquarters building.

He dialed another communicator.

"Lady Hua, are you free lately? I have something to ask of you."

"What is it?" Hua Qianshuang's cold voice rang out.

Lin Lao was long accustomed to this attitude from Hua Qianshuang.

He had a way.

"It's about Li Yao."

"Oh? Please go ahead, General Lin."

First Military Academy.

Inside the Principal's office.

Hua Qianshuang, who had been lying in her chair, sat up straight.

"Li Yao is going to clear the Demi-God Ruin dungeon in the next two days. If Lady Hua is free, you could accompany him."

Hua Qianshuang interrupted: "Did Li Yao ask General Lin to entrust this to me?"

"Hm? No."

"Apologies, General Lin. The war has ended, and there are many school matters these days; I'm afraid I don't have the time."

"No," Lin Lao was a bit confused for a moment, "Lady Hua, the Demi-God Clan..."

Hua Qianshuang interrupted: "The Demi-God Clan is strong. General Lin probably hasn't seen the New King yet, right?"

"It is currently recuperating at the 【Insect Mother Battlefield】. If General Lin has time, you can go take a look."

"Once you see it, you will know."

"To a powerhouse capable of slaying that kind of creature, the Demi-God Clan is no different from little chicks."

"Is that so?"

He hung up the communicator.

Lin Lao stood in the corridor.

If someone else had told him this,

he might not have believed it.

But the one speaking was the world's only Eighth Advancement practitioner!

Lady Hua had once joined forces with the New King to slay all the top combatants of the Titan Clan.

Lady Hua had the right to speak on how strong the New King was.

If even she said so,

could it be...

that Li Yao could really solo the God Ruin?

After hanging up on Lin Lao,

Hua Qianshuang received another communication.

Li Yao's name appeared on the display.

"Okay."

"I understand."

"I will keep an eye out for you."

She hung up.

A faint smile curled at the corners of Hua Qianshuang's mouth.

"Looking for a powerful Array-type practitioner?"

"This little guy is looking to assemble a team to explore the Abyss."

"He must have encountered some situations he couldn't handle alone during his last trip to the Abyss."

"This is for the best."

"Whether clearing a dungeon or exploring a certain region, forming a team is the best choice."

"He's likely looking for functional field personnel for the Array Master role, while leaving the main combat to himself."

"In that case, I can keep an eye out for other functional talents for him as well."

The next day.

Kunlun Main City.

Deep mountains at the border.

Beneath a massive spatial rift.

Two young people stared at each other.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

Mishaluo and Mu Xiaoxiao both asked in utter disbelief.

Mishaluo broke the awkwardness first.

"This humble monk was called by Benefactor Li Yao, who said he had matters to discuss with me."

Mu Xiaoxiao spoke up: "I was sent by Principal Hua, who said Li Yao was going to clear the God Ruin dungeon and told me to come see if there was a chance to tag along for some experience."

As she spoke, Mu Xiaoxiao kicked a stone on the ground. "I thought I was the only one!"

"The God Ruin can only hold five people at a time; with you here, that's one spot gone."

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something.

"Monk, the God Ruin is very dangerous, you know. You probably don't want to go in, right?"

"Not so, not so," Mishaluo shook his head. "Since Benefactor Li Yao called this humble monk, how could I fail his expectations?"

"Even if it meant climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, this humble monk is willing to venture in for Benefactor Li Yao!"

"Hmph!" Mu Xiaoxiao snorted and said nothing more.

Did she not know what this monk was thinking? ===== CHAPTER 1412 =====
