Chapter 2033: Is it a reunion of old friends? Or a meeting of enemies?

Originally, he had assumed he controlled far more secrets than Zhang Lin. Under such circumstances, as long as he met with Zhang Lin, he could use these things to blackmail him.

But later, Zhang Lin used the most realistic way to tell him: "The secrets you control, I am certainly interested in—I won't deny that—but compared to what I control, your things seem far too petty."

This is the so-called "no comparison, no harm." Wang Canghai suffered such a blow, which led him to be relatively more sober than before.

However, this sobriety was bound to be short-lived. What exactly would happen during this brief time, and what kind of choices would Wang Canghai make?

Perhaps others could not predict it, but Zhang Lin was very clear. Given that Zhang Lin knew all of Wang Canghai's methods, the other party would inevitably have to involve the things hidden within the Tiangong of the Clouds if he wanted to burn his bridges.

If he merely wanted to rely on the Wang family to accomplish this, it would be nothing but a pipe dream.

Therefore, Zhang Lin was waiting for Wang Canghai to make his move, waiting for him to be forced to make the corresponding choice, and then Zhang Lin could counter each move as it came.

Under such circumstances, he could naturally understand what was hidden within those hundred years, which could also be considered as resolving all of Zhang Lin's doubts.

Furthermore, in this process, as long as it did not involve immortality and becoming an immortal, even if it truly involved the situation of King Wannu, Zhang Lin would tell everyone these things without any hesitation.

The reason Wang Canghai was afraid of Zhang Lin knowing these things was that he worried that with his status, he would pass all these situations on to those listening to the storytelling. Wang Canghai was not even worried about them knowing about immortality and becoming an immortal.

Because Wang Canghai was very clear that even if everyone knew about immortality, they still had no way to obtain the things required to facilitate it. Only a few people could obtain such things; on this point, Wang Canghai had absolute authority.

He had obtained immortality for so many years and still had to constantly collect the eye-coal essence, let alone others. Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about it. However, once such things fermented, it would at the very least cause a huge uproar.

Afterwards, ordinary people would naturally give up on the so-called immortality and would no longer hold onto such pipe dreams. But for those who once controlled resources or who still held vast wealth in their hands, they would be even more interested.

Originally, these people thought they saw the reality of the situation and concluded that pursuing immortality was useless; after all, such things that defied common sense certainly did not exist.

But if Wang Canghai were still alive, and with Zhang Lin personally verifying this matter, under the mutual reinforcement of these two, even if they didn't believe it, they would have to choose to believe.

This was a very awkward spot for Zhang Lin. He currently controlled some things, and the troubles that could be derived from these things would only increase.

That is why Zhang Lin tried his best to hide these things. Another point was that as a storyteller, Zhang Lin always had to use certain methods to keep everyone in suspense. Even if revealing immortality wouldn't cause too much of a backlash,

he always had to have a core point when talking about the archaeological team. Only on the premise of not losing this core point would Zhang Lin resolutely speak about the subsequent situations.

The previous core point was immortality. With the development of subsequent events, there was now one more core point: becoming an immortal. However, the two were inherently progressive.

Taking one step up from immortality was becoming an immortal, so Zhang Lin could not talk about either core point in isolation. Doing so would only expose everything.

The Second Archaeological Team arrived smoothly at Gaze Buqing. Before Yang Lu could ask, A Ke pointed directly at a large tent in the distance that resembled a Mongol yurt and said, "This is the place. I heard people mention him before; he used to be the best hunter in the area, named Chuyi." ===== CHAPTER 2034 =====
