Chapter 750: Really recruiting people

Although Zhong Ling didn't trust him 100% now, at least she wouldn't be suspicious and looking for opportunities to test him all day long.

Zhong Ling wouldn't stand by and watch such a decision that concerned the safety of the entire Azure Wolf Hall.

But before Zhong Ling could speak, Zhong Yu curled her lips unhappily.

"Brother Yi, it's useless to ask her. This dull gourd loves to talk the least..."

Zhong Ling glared coldly at Zhong Yu when she heard this, and then said.

"Brother Yi, if you don't attend the meeting organized by the Thorn Emperor this time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the Wuji Martial Arts Association."

"They have already sent manpower and funds. If we don't take action, it's equivalent to breach of contract, and they will have even more reason to provoke."

"Hehe... you speak lightly!" Zhong Yu rolled her eyes. "You mean to let Brother Yi directly take action to assassinate the Thorn Emperor when attending the meeting? Do you know how dangerous this is? If it doesn't go well, our lives will all be accounted for there!"

"Right now, our Azure Wolf Hall is beset by internal and external troubles. Brother Yi doesn't have many people he can mobilize, and cunning old foxes like Zhou Lao Si won't be the ones charging to the front lines if something really happens."

"Do you still vainly hope that just by relying on the few of us, we can wipe out the Thorn in one fell swoop in the Thorn's territory and give them a heavy blow?"

Zhong Ling didn't pay attention to Zhong Yu's aggressive attitude, but said calmly to Xu Tian.

"Brother Yi, I'm not asking you to directly assassinate the Thorn Emperor at the meeting and fight them to the death. Our people don't need to do any surprise attacks either."

"Then if you don't take action, what do you want?" Zhong Yu didn't know what was wrong with her today; she seemed to dislike Zhong Ling. Every time Zhong Ling said a word, the little girl had to retort.

"Zhong Yu, let her finish speaking first." Xu Tian glanced at Zhong Yu warningly.

"Okay..." Zhong Yu could only shut her mouth resentfully.

"No need to fight directly. When the time comes, Brother Yi, you just need to reject any proposal from the Thorn Emperor and state the position of our Azure Wolf Hall: we will absolutely not hand over membership fees, and we will not have any cooperation with the Thorn."

Zhong Ling's analysis was clear and logical.

"Even if we didn't take action, we can push it off later by saying the timing is not ripe."

"Anyway, we have already stated our attitude that we will not become allies of the Thorn, let alone submit to them. In this way, the Wuji Martial Arts Association has nothing to say."

【750-20】 (Note: Merged with 750-19 for flow.)

"Not bad!" Xu Tian looked at Zhong Ling with approval.

This girl was indeed more mature and steady than Zhong Yu.

Her proposal also mostly conformed to his current judgment of the situation.

As long as he didn't obey the arrangements of the Thorn Emperor at the meeting, even if it was just a verbal dispute and no action was taken, the Wuji Martial Arts Association had no reason to accuse him of violating the agreement.

After all, the timing of taking action was a very ethereal thing. As long as Xu Tian said he was not ready, then if the Wuji Martial Arts Association forced them to take action, it would be no different from sending them to die.

At that time, Xu Tian could even stand on the moral high ground and leave the old guys of the Wuji Martial Arts Association speechless.

"Brother Yi, I knew this too, but it was just snatched by Zhong Ling." Zhong Yu curled her lips aggrievedly.

"Fine, fine, fine, you knew it too." Xu Tian looked at the little girl who was puffed up with anger, feeling a bit funny: "Didn't you say you were an adult? Why are you still so childish?"

"Where am I childish? It's better than that tiger aunt who pretends to be deep like Zhong Ling!" Zhong Yu hid beside Xu Tian and made a face at Zhong Ling.

It was all because Zhong Ling was always suspicious, even doubting Brother Yi's identity.

She just didn't like this woman!

"Alright, stop arguing. I'm going to attend the meeting organized by the Thorn Emperor; you guys prepare too." Xu Tian said.

Now, he couldn't act rashly and could only wait until the forces of Shadow grew stronger before making plans.

Wuji Island, Kun City.

The stronghold of Shadow was set up in a detached villa.

This villa was originally used by the owner for self-residence and was not intended for sale, but after A Biao looked at several villas in succession, he felt that this house was most suitable as their headquarters.

Therefore, he negotiated with the villa owner in the name of a member of the Azure Wolf Hall, half-intimidating and half-enticing, and bought the house.

After calculating it in the end, the total price was even lower than the average housing price in Kun Cheng.

After establishing the stronghold, the manpower recruited by Wuqing and others was all settled in the villa.

The location of this villa was in the north of the city, far from the city center, with a quiet and elegant environment. The surroundings of the villa were large areas of dense green bamboo, which had a feeling of being hidden in the city.

A young woman wearing a bohemian long skirt walked to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell.

"Is anyone there?"

No one answered in the villa.

"Is anyone there?" The young woman pressed the doorbell again. This time she pressed the button firmly, with the intention of not letting go if no one answered.

The harsh doorbell sound seemed a bit abrupt in the quiet environment. This bell rang for a full five minutes before someone walked out from inside.

"Stop pressing!" The person who came out was a scarred man. He was Hu Chengfeng, one of the first batch of experts recruited. His strength was the strongest among those people. "Disturbing the people early in the morning, do you want to die?"

Hu Chengfeng walked out of the villa cursing, walked to the gate, looked at the person outside the iron gate, and his expression was a bit surprised when he saw the young woman.

In such a remote place, it was a bit strange for a beautiful woman with strange dressing to appear.

Hu Chengfeng had strong concentration. After seeing the visitor, he was just slightly distracted, but quickly reacted, and shouted sternly with a cold face.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is this the stronghold of Shadow?" The young woman fiddled with her long hair reaching her waist and asked with a smile.

Hu Chengfeng frowned upon hearing this and asked with some vigilance: "Who exactly are you? How do you know this is the stronghold of Shadow?"

"Don't be nervous... I have no malice..." The young woman waved

"So that's how it is..." Hu Chengfeng's expression softened a little.

Their Shadow organization had indeed been recruiting talent on a large scale recently. If someone wanted to introduce friends to join, there was no problem with telling them their address.

"It's not easy to join our Shadow. We only want the strong; ordinary people without talent simply cannot pass our assessment." Hu Chengfeng looked the young woman in strange attire up and down. The aura radiating from her was calm and non-threatening; if she wasn't an ordinary person, then she was an expert.

"You really are recruiting." The young woman whispered knowingly upon hearing this, "I see."

"What do you mean?" Hu Chengfeng was slightly stunned.

"Nothing, I just wanted to confirm if the Shadow stronghold was here. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Saying this, the woman waved at Hu Chengfeng, turned around, and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.
