Chapter 1778: Just Getting What Each Needs

"Alright, stop with the flattery. I know what kind of person you are, and between us, it's nothing more than mutual exploitation."

Chen Yu stood up and said leisurely, "You want to use me to lead your Shilaike Family onto the right track; after all, not everyone wants to become immortal only to turn into a monster."

"And I want to use you to find the God Lord. We both have our own ulterior motives, don't we?"

"This..." Qiongsi's expression was somewhat awkward. It was true; that was indeed the plan he had in mind.

But with Chen Yu saying it out loud like this, it felt a bit awkward.

He then gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Chen, I won't deny that this is indeed my plan, but we are each getting what we need, isn't that a good thing?"

"It's quite good. I like it this way—each getting what we need from the other, with no one owing anyone any favors. This is quite good," Chen Yu said. "Actually, I really don't like that feeling of being high and mighty, and I don't like others putting me on a pedestal."

"Because those who put me on a pedestal are weaklings, and they will surely have many things to ask of me later, so I don't like that."

"I prefer fair trade. We solve each other's problems; isn't that great?"

"So that is Mr. Chen's personality. I understand now." Qiongsi immediately straightened his posture: "In front of you, I don't need to be servile, right?"

"Right, you can understand it that way." Chen Yu nodded: "I want to know about the God Lord."

"Mr. Chen, I haven't inherited the Shilaike Family yet, so I actually don't know many of the secrets within the family," Qiongsi said with a wry smile.

"Before this, the highest-level person I had contact with was Miss Tang, and I only know some things about her."

"You have had contact with her?" Chen Yu was slightly startled. The Miss Tang that Qiongsi mentioned must be Tang Xue.

"Yes, Tang Xue. I know that you and Miss Tang are also acquainted." Qiongsi nodded slightly: "Miss Tang is the spokesperson recently chosen by the God Lord."

"Moreover, the God Lord has great confidence in her, so any matters are handled by her coming forward. As for the God Lord, I cannot reach him; only my grandfather, Lao Shilaike, can."

"Is everything you said true?" Chen Yu stared at Qiongsi. He knew this guy had contact with more than just Tang Xue.

"I can swear by my ancestors' name that what I said is true," Qiongsi said solemnly. "So, Mr. Chen, if you want to know about the God Lord, you will need to wait until I officially take over the Shilaike Family."

"I know you aren't telling the truth," Chen Yu smiled slightly, "but I don't intend to expose you either. Just as well, I also want to take a trip to the Western World. Let's talk more when we reach where your family is located."

"If Mr. Chen can go, that would of course be best." Qiongsi was delighted: "In our Western World, there aren't many powerhouses like Mr. Chen."

"It's not that there aren't many, it's that you haven't met them." Chen Yu said indifferently: "You are only interested in women on a daily basis, so you have ignored the powerhouses around you."

"That's not it." Qiongsi was somewhat embarrassed: "Liking women is a man's nature, isn't it?"

"Yes, that is a man's nature." Chen Yu nodded: "Alright, our agreement is considered verbally reached."

"You go back first and prepare for the succession. Once I finish handling some matters here in Fusang, I will go find you."

"Good." Qiongsi nodded. Without wasting any more words with Chen Yu, he retreated.

"Brother Chen, this foreigner is not a simple character," Zhao Ping said after entering: "I passed him just now when I came in."

"This guy smiled at me. His eyes are very profound; he is a guy with deep hidden motives."

"To be chosen as the future successor of the Shilaike Family, his motives must be deep. If he were truly a brainless guy, he would have been finished off long ago," Chen Yu said.

"That aristocrat from the Western World, the Shilaike Family?" Zhao Ping was shocked: "I have read some files on this family. Their financial power and influence are very high, and they control many forces."

"Yes, that's them." Chen Yu nodded.

"What did he come here for?" Zhao Ping looked puzzled.

"Cooperation." Chen Yu spat out the two words.

"Impressive." Zhao Ping gave a thumbs up in admiration. Perhaps only Chen Yu could establish a connection with a behemoth like the Shilaike Family.

"Alright, next I am going to take a tour of the Liehun Hall. Before those old guys come to find trouble with me, I will strike first," Chen Yu stood up.

"Does Brother Chen already have the specific location of the Liehun Hall?" Zhao Ping was a bit puzzled. After all, the status of the Liehun Hall in Fusang is extremely high, equivalent to the existence of Dragon Breath.

Moreover, that group of old guys is almost isolated from the world; they generally do not deal with people unless it is a moment of life and death for the race.

"The Beiwu Family provided the information. I can go straight there and break through their Hidden World Array to charge in," Chen Yu said.

"And then?" Zhao Ping asked.

"Kill everyone inside." Chen Yu glanced at Zhao Ping: "What else could I do?"

"Awesome, domineering." Zhao Ping really didn't know how to describe the emotions in his heart.

In this world, perhaps only Chen Yu could say such domineering words?

"Then when do you plan to set off?" Zhao Ping asked.

"Setting off today, heading all the way north," Chen Yu said: "Don't tag along for the excitement this time. That place is extremely dangerous; you might not even make it there alive."

"Alright, I still have some self-awareness." Zhao Ping laughed sheepishly, feeling a bit awkward.

Actually, this guy originally wanted Chen Yu to take him along to witness this moment with his own eyes. After all, this ghost organization, the Liehun Hall, had caused quite a few incidents in Huaxia back in the day, and even destroyed one of Daxia's Qi Luck Veins.

He was naturally very excited to be able to witness this, but he also had self-awareness; he might not really be able to walk there alive, so he had to suppress his restless heart.

Chen Yu left as soon as he said he would. He found Qishu to entrust him with some matters, and then drove an off-road vehicle all the way north.

Although the area here in Fusang is small, the scenery on the road is truly not bad. Following a coastline all the way north, after driving nearly two hundred kilometers, he arrived at a small town.

This was already the far north of this place. In the distance were the towering Snow Mountains. The temperature here was a bit cold, but the sky was azure, and it was by the sea; the environment was truly impeccable.

Chen Yu parked the car in a square in the small town. He glanced at the time; it was already late, and there were still dozens of miles of road ahead, but the terrain ahead was mountainous and not suitable for driving.
