Chapter 74: The Moe Girl Who Was Once Kicked by Lian Yun
The three teams were evenly matched, and the coordinates of this seemingly unbeatable location were actually just the coordinates of some spiritual herbs.
Based on Zhou Tong's conditions, the middle-aged man realized that Zhou Tong truly intended to leave Fengdu, and it was not merely about the outskirts of Fengdu.
Although the middle-aged man was already certain, his questioning indicated that he still found it hard to believe!
It should be noted that while they were not the overlords of Fengdu, they possessed the ability to roam freely within its confines, giving them a sense of being lords of the land!
Moreover, with the mindset of preferring to be a chicken rather than a phoenix's tail, the middle-aged man felt that living carefreely in Fengdu was far better than treading cautiously outside.
In response to the middle-aged man's inquiry, Zhou Tong revealed a hint of sarcasm but spoke sincerely, "Brother Jiang, although you are incredibly wise, I am still younger than you!"
The implication was clear: you have grown old and lost your drive, while I am still young and eager to strive for success!
The middle-aged man did not take offense; instead, he felt a touch of melancholy and seemed hesitant to speak further.
Zhou Tong then smiled lightly and said, "When the Peerless Demon Master was alive, he was merely a military strategist!"
"I, Zhou Tong, am somewhat self-aware. I know that while I possess some talent, I am not suited to be a ruler. However, some people are born to be kings. With their remarkable intelligence and decent character, when such a monarch appears, it is best to seize the opportunity early! It is also wise to prepare for the future of the ruler!"
This essentially conveyed his determination to fully support him.
Jiang Ao and Murong Ying exchanged knowing glances and nodded at Lian Yun. This made Lian Yun feel quite embarrassed as she scratched her head awkwardly!
Jiang Ao and Murong Ying couldn't help but smile, as if they thought Zhou Tong's humility was excessive for someone destined to be a ruler!
However, a stern-looking man behind Jiang Ao suddenly interjected, "But Cloud Emperor once—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhou Tong shook his head and said, "If one is merely born into royalty without merit, what worth do they have for me, Zhou Tong, to assist?"
The meaning of Zhou Tong is that a king who has never faced setbacks, even if born a king, may not be worthy of his assistance.
Only someone like Lian Yun, who has experienced hardships yet remains strong and never gives up, deserves his support.
On another level, when the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, it is only because the tiger fights alone. As long as it gains some strength, the tiger of Pingyang can immediately reclaim its position as the king of beasts.
This is what truly reflects Zhou Tong's value!
When conversing with Jiang Ao and Murong Ying, there is no need for pretense; any slight concealment can be detected by the two. It is better to speak honestly, as it expresses sincerity.
“To bear the world's rejection is to possess a heart capable of carrying the entire world. Zhou Tong, you are ambitious!” Jiang Ao sighed, revealing a hint of envy.
As Zhou Tong said, he is already old!
His evaluation of Lian Yun signifies that Lian Yun has the potential to become the king of the entire world, not just a regional power or a ruler of a single nation!
A king of this caliber would naturally attract strategists who would follow him even unto death; even if their time together is short, being able to offer counsel to such a king would be worth dying for!
However, Jiang Ao's ambition for Zhou Tong implies that Zhou Tong wishes to use his own hands to bring forth a world king.
Although this is nearly impossible, such ambition is not something ordinary people possess.
Yet Jiang Ao, though only middle-aged, has an old mindset and lacks such ambition; thus he can only feel envy.
“Very well, I will give you the coordinates. Just don’t wipe everything out; leave a few for us to challenge!”
“Thank you, Brother Jiang!” Zhou Tong stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiang Ao.
Jiang Ao shook his head, lost in thought as he gazed at Lian Yun.
At that moment, Murong Ying said, "If Brother Zhou seeks the Cloud Emperor's favor, I can offer you all the hard-to-conquer places in the Eastern lands for free!"
Zhou Tong was taken aback, but Murong Ying shook her head and looked back.
Among the five people on Murong Ying's side, there were two Twin Sisters. Although they were dressed in men's clothing and were short, their ample bosoms and graceful figures made them appear alluring to some lecherous onlookers.
Another woman had a very strong physique, not weaker than that of a mighty warrior. The last one was a slender girl with a delicate face, known as the Moe Girl.
This Moe Girl was somewhat peculiar; she frequently stole glances at Lian Yun since she entered, especially after Lian Yun removed her Mask, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration.
Now, when the Moe Girl noticed her captain looking at her, she lowered her head and took two steps forward, bowing to Lian Yun. "I wonder if Lord Cloud Emperor remembers me?"
"Who are you? Are you from Cloud Emperor City?" Lian Yun felt puzzled by the question. It seemed only someone from Cloud Emperor City would refer to her as Lord Cloud Emperor!
The Moe Girl nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Cloud Emperor, for saving my life back then!"
Lian Yun frowned slightly and then shook her head in silence.
Three years ago, although Lian Yun saved the entire Cloud Emperor City, there were still some individuals who were quite special.
During that disaster, many ordinary Armed Ghost Hunters from Cloud Emperor City participated in the battle, but their strength was like ants before the Demon Army!
At that time, Lian Yun's parents had consumed Explosive Ascension Pills and fought fiercely against the Second-Rank Ghost Emperor, allowing Lian Yun to retain a bit of strength.
However, that was only a small amount. Thus, when Lian Yun kicked some participants back into the city, she could only ensure that those saved would not die but could not guarantee whether they landed safely or crashed into walls and got injured!
Therefore, it was even less likely for Lian Yun to pay attention to the appearances of those she saved!
Since the Moe Girl asked this question, it indicated that she had been 'kicked' by Lian Yun before.
"Miss Murong, you are still quite young!" Jiang Ao suddenly exclaimed, leaving everyone feeling somewhat perplexed, but all present understood his intention.
However, before Murong Ying could respond, Lian Yun suddenly displayed an expression of indescribable indifference.
It was impossible to ignore.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lian Yun slowly walked to the central depression and casually tossed a couple of nutrient tablets to the Vigilant Worm.
Then, with a detached tone, she said, "I never intended to establish any forces. I simply saw Zhou Tong's abilities and felt that his talents should not be wasted, which led me to consider recruiting him! At the same time, I believe it doesn't matter what kind of force Zhou Tong establishes, as long as it does not engage in actions that harm reason!"
"However, whether it is Zhou Tong or Sister Murong, Uncle Jiang, if you wish to follow me, there is no need to make a decision right now. After leaving Fengdu, I will head to Yin Yang City! It will be at least three years before I return!"
"When I come back, if you have the desire, it will not be too late to pledge your allegiance to me!"
"Lastly, I offer you a piece of advice, Uncle Jiang: The Monarch has lived for nearly two hundred years. In front of the Monarch, your current age is nothing more than that of a mere child!"
With that, nearly everyone stood up and couldn't help but slightly bow towards Lian Yun.
