However, that is not the main point now. The real issue is that there were originally more supporters for the leader within the Yu Family. Even with the secret support from these individuals, they might not be able to compete against him. Now that there is such a significant expert involved, it is no longer a question of whether the second in command of the Yu Family can challenge him, but rather whether these hidden supporters will come back to settle accounts with them after the leader of the Yu Family achieves a great victory. If they are caught meddling in the internal disputes of the Yu Family, even Lord Lu Feng would not protect them!
"Now, Lord Wei should already know why I came to see you this time, right?" Once everyone was seated again, Ying De Cai did not waste any time and went straight to the point. "I heard that Your Excellency has been getting quite close to Yucheng recently. As an old partner, I really cannot bear to see you teetering on the edge of failure without realizing it, ultimately losing everything! With someone like Wang Long holding down the fort, do you think your little schemes can still turn things around? It would be wise to clarify the situation and retreat while you still can!"
Wei Du's face turned red and pale; although Ying De Cai had given him a warning in advance, his attitude was too much, showing him no respect at all!
"What does he want in return to stop pursuing me and my subordinates?" Naturally, Wei Du was not in a good mood after being publicly humiliated like this and spoke bluntly.
"This is something very simple for you. Shouldn't Lord Wang Long discuss it with Lord Wei personally?"
Wang Long gave Ying De Cai a deep look. However, if his strength was sufficient to arrive just in time for his battle with Cai Burin today, then it would not be difficult to uncover his purpose for coming to Nanhua City. After all, many of the Yu Family's Household Guards were already aware of this.
He did not hide anything and explained the current situation of Fire Village and Alin Village to them.
"So we need approval from the Nanhua City Lord's Mansion to proceed with our plan to establish new villages, allowing us to recruit homeless wanderers who have lost their villages in Nanhua City to settle in the abandoned villages between Fire Village and Sky Blue Village. This way, our communication routes can be restored, allowing us to reconnect our two villages with the outside world and potentially persuade several Major Sects to withdraw their neglect towards both villages."
"Oh~~~~ so that's what this is about!" Wei Du's eyes darted around. "Actually... it's not impossible to negotiate."
"I didn't come here to negotiate with Your Excellency." Wei Du never expected that Wang Long, who also had matters he wanted from him, would be even more forceful than that fat man Ying De Cai! He was clearly trying to take advantage of him! "I believe Your Excellency understands that whatever you can do, the Yu Family can do as well. Fire Village and Alin Village are just small villages on the edge of the Great Gobi; Lord Lu Feng is extremely busy and generally does not concern himself with such trivial matters. The Yu Family certainly wouldn't struggle with something so minor!"
Wei Du's expression changed.
"Moreover, we have already met with Lord Lu Feng and Second Miss Lu today. If we want our days ahead to be long and fruitful, there will be opportunities in the future to personally explain our proposals to Lord Lu Feng. So, Lord Wei, I hope you understand that this time we are giving you an opportunity; do not think you have any initiative in this matter!"
Wang Long understood that when dealing with such people, one must never allow them to misunderstand that they have you completely under their control. It is essential to take the initiative; only then can you turn the tables and make them work for you.
Throughout history, there has never been a truly mutually beneficial "transaction." Now that he had more leverage than his opponent, they had no choice but to comply!
Sure enough, Wei Du hesitated for quite a while before slowly nodding and saying, "Alright, I will naturally say what I need to say to Lord Lu Feng, but I need Your Excellency to stop pursuing the person behind Yucheng relentlessly."
"Of course, I await Your Excellency's good news." Wang Long initially thought that coming to Nanhua City would be challenging, but now he found that two factions were already eager to serve him. This time, Wang Long truly understood the meaning of survival of the fittest in the divine realm. It was not just about direct and violent competition among powers; even in a large city like this, the ability to solve practical problems was also based on how strong one's fist was.
"Hehe, both of you are indeed straightforward people. It seems this introduction has hit the mark." Ying De Cai completely ignored Wang Long's strong demeanor and showed no intention of protecting his "old client." "Next up is naturally Elder Cai Burin's issue..."
"Don't come at me with that. I made it clear from the start that I have no issues. The Holy Divine Gate is still above us; does anyone dare to act recklessly?"
"That's right; someone indeed wants to stir things up," Ying De Cai said with a smile as he reassured Cai Burin. "Elder Cai, I've heard that during Your Excellency's long tenure in the Great Gobi, you still carry the title of elder. This time, after suffering defeat, there are many voices of discontent within the Holy Divine Gate regarding you."
"Those are merely frogs at the bottom of a well, immersed in the glory of the Four Major Sects without sufficient understanding of the outside world. I believe they will soon realize that even losing to Wang Long is not unjust!"
Mr. He glanced at Wang Long again. It seemed that Ying De Cai's words were not exaggerated; otherwise, the usually assertive Cai Burin would not hold this young man in such high regard.
"Well, I previously thought Elder Cai lost due to a misstep back then. However, after seeing both of you engage again today, I realize I was completely mistaken. But Elder Cai, regardless of anything else, isn't now a time for you to be wandering around Nanhua City? Aren't you afraid that your reputation within the Holy Divine Gate will suffer even more? Or is there some special reason compelling Your Excellency to come to Nanhua City this time?"
Wang Long felt a jolt in his heart as he recalled that this fat man had mentioned before that Cai Burin sought him out not only to avenge his previous humiliation but also wanted to strike a deal with him. Indeed, Cai Burin had reached a "Gentleman's Agreement" with him; what changes had occurred in between?
"Hmph! Stop guessing aimlessly. My matters are not suitable for public discussion; just tell me if you really know my purpose." Cai Burin did not want to waste more words on this topic and was extremely impatient with those who only knew how to talk without action.
"Ha ha, I only heard a little rumor about this. It is said that a promising young expert, who was recently appointed as an elder in the Holy Divine Gate, has recently taken a trip around the Great Gobi for some unknown reason and has yet to return to the Holy Divine Gate. I heard this is also the source of dissatisfaction among the other elders of the Holy Divine Gate regarding Elder Cai, am I wrong?"
Cai Burin slowly closed his eyes. After the battle with Wang Long, the mysterious figure he encountered while heading towards the Holy Divine Gate was indeed the young elder mentioned by Ying De Cai. Initially, Cai Burin thought that the other party was merely testing Wang Long's strength and didn't pay him much attention. However, midway through, Cai Burin realized that he was actually the true target of the other party!
