"I don't know much, of course. Although I have some intelligence networks within Nanhua City, they are far inferior to the information from the Holy Divine Gate. I just happen to know a few things that I should know. But... Elder Cai, are you sure this is a good place to discuss business?"
"Hmph!" Surprisingly, Wang Long thought that this fat man was courting death by speaking to Cai Burin in such a seemingly humble yet subtly threatening tone. However, Cai Burin actually managed to endure it! He sheathed his sword and nodded towards Wang Long, saying, "After today's battle, I've been looking forward to having a good fight with you since we last parted ways. And it seems you've learned some new tricks. Now, let's listen to what this fat man has to say. If he dares to play tricks on us, we'll deal with him directly!"
Wang Long felt a strange sensation rise within him; just a moment ago they were fighting fiercely, and now suddenly they seemed to be acting like allies.
"You guys should head back to the Yu Family for now. If Yu Yaoran wants to find me, tell him I'll be back shortly. Also, the atmosphere in Nanhua City is quite delicate right now, so unless there's something urgent, you shouldn't come out."
"Understood!" After witnessing the earlier battle, Ying Sang, Old Xu, A-Yun, and Little Tiger were all greatly inspired. Although it was just a brief exchange of moves, they felt that the insights they gained would benefit them for a lifetime.
Wang Long intentionally sent them back to the Yu Family not only to reduce the number of hindrances but also so they could absorb their newfound insights while the impressions were still fresh in their minds.
This would greatly benefit their rapid improvement in strength.
Wang Long then followed Cai Burin and the even more mysterious fat man as they walked further away.
The fat man claimed he was not from Nanhua City and was only here for business. Yet how could he be so familiar with the layout of the area? He turned left and right without hesitation at the front, clearly as familiar with this place as he was with his own bedroom.
No wonder he could gather information about himself and Cai Burin in such a short time.
"Gentlemen, please come inside. Coincidentally, there are two other guests here as well; it would be good for everyone to get acquainted. I believe it will be beneficial for our future partnership," Ying De Cai said while pointing at an ordinary-looking building that even Wang Long couldn't find anything wrong with. He smiled and invited them into a tavern.
"Are there others?" Cai Burin seemed wary. "Fat man, you wouldn't want to openly discuss our business in front of those people, would you?"
"Of course not. Please rest assured, Elder Cai."
The tavern inside was much more distinctive than outside. The decorations were not much different from those of modern high-end taverns. However, there weren't many customers inside; instead, each one seemed quite distinguished.
This wasn't surprising; ordinary storefronts outside and this hidden location wouldn't attract many patrons. It appeared that those who came here were regulars—special regulars at that!
Although it was Wang Long's first time in such a hotel, he wasn't unfamiliar with it. During his training in Dragon Hidden, there had been detailed introductions about places like this. Moreover, since Nine Continents had not fully come under Dragon City's control at that time, Dragon City had set up several such establishments to strengthen its control over other regions; Wang Long and Jiang Xue simply hadn't used them before.
He watched as the fat man greeted the owner and then followed him upstairs into a private room.
Inside, there were indeed two people waiting for them.
"Ah, welcome, Boss Ying. Who are these two?"
Wang Long was very observant. Although the two stood up and seemed completely unaware of their identities, they showed no surprise at their arrival with Ying De Cai. Clearly, Ying De Cai had already greeted them beforehand.
"Let me introduce them," Ying De Cai noticed the concerns in Wang Long and Cai Burin's minds and took it upon himself to make the introductions. He first introduced the two present to Wang Long and Cai Burin: "This gentleman is Wei Du, the chief strategist under Lord Lu Feng, the City Lord of Nanhua City. He is highly valued by Lord Lu Feng, and this city has prospered greatly thanks to his contributions!"
Wang Long found it amusing. If he were to relay this introduction back to the Yu Family, he feared they would burst out laughing. Although he had heard Yu Yaoran speak humbly about their family history, claiming that several family heads had been favored by Lord Lu Feng, the title of chief strategist was undeniably impressive.
Wang Long chose not to point this out directly and greeted them with a smile.
"This gentleman has an even greater background; he is Elder He from West Hu Yue!"
"What! West Hu Yue!" This was the first time Wang Long had heard this name, but Cai Burin's previously arrogant demeanor changed to one of shock.
"Indeed, I am from West Hu Yue," Mr. He said proudly of his background. However, he found Wang Long's calmness a bit strange and looked at him a couple more times. "But although I hold the title of elder, I am merely a humble participant in West Hu Yue."
"Ah, even an ordinary warrior from West Hu Yue is a hero among our Divine Clan. Mr. He need not be so modest."
"Exactly! Who among our Divine Clan does not recognize the name West Hu Yue?" Even Cai Burin had to offer some courtesy.
"Now let me introduce these two as well. One is Elder Cai from Holy Divine Gate!"
"Holy Divine Gate!" Upon hearing this, both Mr. He and the previously self-satisfied individual showed expressions of shock.
At this moment, Wang Long felt the overwhelming power of Holy Divine Gate, one of the four major forces of the Divine Clan.
If Alin Village and Fire Village's admiration for Holy Divine Gate stemmed from ignorance and mystery—like how no one in the real world had seen a deity—then during the first appearance of deities when they battled Wang Long and the Human Emperor, even top experts like those from Dragon City or the Four Sea Dragon Kings felt an irresistible awe.
Now, those present from the Divine Clan Sect displayed more fear!
Compared to those ignorant commoners, they truly understood just how astonishingly powerful the so-called four major Divine Clan Sects were. Even Cai Burin might not be considered significant within Holy Divine Gate, but for them, he was a well-known figure. As for Nanhua City, if Lord Lu Feng personally intervened, his status would indeed be slightly higher than Cai Burin's; however, Wei Du only smiled in his presence. To put it bluntly, just being able to sit at the same table was already a tremendous honor for him.
Even Mr. He believes that among West Hu Yue, the number of experts who can surpass Cai Burin can be counted on two hands!
“Elder Cai!” The attitudes of the two immediately shifted.
Cai Burin waved his hand, dismissing such formalities, and took a seat directly.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Wang Long.
“This one is the lifesaver of the young master of the Yu Family, and now he also plays a crucial role in the changes affecting Nanhua City. Lord Wang Long, please take a seat?”
“Hmph!” At least from the introduction, Wang Long's weight was far less than that of Cai Burin. Wei Du snorted coldly and deliberately puffed out his chest; he had always been a competitor of the Yu Family. To be honest, this time, due to the injury of the Old Master, the Yu Family was experiencing internal strife. Whether he personally pushed for this was unknown to anyone, but at least he was happy to see it happen!
“Moreover, last time Elder Cai Burin fought against this Lord Wang Long, he lost in one move! Lord Wang Long, a young hero, is truly admirable.” The chubby Ying De Cai also sneered inwardly; if it weren't for certain connections needing this person, he wouldn't even have bothered to notice him!
This was absolutely heavyweight news, and for both of them, especially for Wei Du, it was as shocking as a Thunderfire dual-type explosive going off right next to their ears.
An expert even more formidable than Cai Burin! It was hard to imagine how that Yu Family leader managed to recruit him!
