Hearing my words, the man replied, "Yes, the leader repeatedly instructed me not to let..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, then changed his tone and said, "Shen, let's go upstairs. I’ll show you some other places."
With that, he smiled and walked towards me, seemingly wanting to lead me away from this spot.
"Wait, why can't I go take a look up front?" I raised my hand to stop him and asked seriously.
Upon hearing this, the man stammered, unsure of how to respond. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If you ask me like that, I really don't know. I'm just new here; please don't make it difficult for me. Otherwise, the leader will surely be furious again. Just come with me..."
His face showed extreme discomfort, indicating that the Sun Warrior Leader had given him strict orders to prevent me from entering here. If anything went wrong, he might end up like the person whose head was crushed by the Sun Warrior Leader before.
After pondering for a while, I thought that no matter what, I shouldn't drag others into this any further. Even if he was still a Yang Master, he didn't seem like someone who had done anything wrong; he truly looked like a newcomer. If he lost his life because of this, I would feel guilty.
With that in mind, I decided to wait for another opportunity to come down alone and see for myself. "Since that's the case, I won't make it hard for you. Let's go," I said as I turned around and followed the man back. Along the way, noticing his timid demeanor, I asked, "You don't seem like someone who practices Yin-Yang Technique. Why did you become a Yang Master?"
"You’re right..." he replied. "I really don’t know any Yin-Yang Technique. To be honest, I didn't want to come here at all; it’s just that my family is in debt and can't pay it back, so I had no choice but to come here as a laborer. If we’re being honest, it’s all my father's fault..."
He sighed deeply and continued, "A few years ago, my mother divorced my father because he was addicted to gambling and lazy. But since my mother didn’t have a job after the divorce, I had no choice but to follow my father who opened a Feng Shui House. However, he doesn’t understand anything about Feng Shui; he just makes things up to scam wealthy people. And strangely enough, many rich people are willing to be deceived—how bizarre..."
Seeing him bring it up, I nodded to indicate that I was still listening.
He continued, "At first, my father had some money and was relatively well-off. But later on, he lost everything in gambling and ended up in debt. That’s why I came here to work and help him pay off his debts."
After hearing this, I noticed that he was still quite young and helping his father repay debts made him somewhat filial. Not wanting him to be deeply entangled in being a Yang Master any longer, I asked him, "Do you know what this place is for?"
He shook his head. "Not really; it might be a place where wealthy people live? I see many strange people here. Usually, I just help with cleaning and tidying up."
At this moment, I thought to myself: Sun Warrior Leader, you truly live up to being called Old Fox! You found someone who knows nothing to keep an eye on me; even if I wanted to extract information from him, it would be impossible since he himself doesn’t even know what this place is for.
"Alright, I see you're quite pitiful. From now on, you don't have to clean anymore; just follow me and help me with my tasks. What's your name?" I asked him.
"Wang Bin, you can call me Binzi. Thank you for your kindness, but I wonder if the leader will agree..." Wang Bin replied.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him about it..."
"Oh, thank you so much! That way I won't have to endure beatings anymore..." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing numerous scars and bruises on his arms, a sight that was truly shocking.
"Don't worry, I won't hit you. I just need your help with some things sometimes," I said.
Wang Bin was excited at this point: "No problem, no problem! As long as you don't hit me, I'll do whatever you ask. You have no idea; when I was with others, I would get beaten at least three times a day. Just a small mistake would lead to a beating. It's unbearable..."
As I listened to Wang Bin's endless complaints, we walked toward the hall. "Looks like I've got a chatterbox by my side," I thought to myself.
After a moment, we left the corridor and returned to the hall. At this time, a number of Yang Masters had gathered in the hall, standing in two rows along the sides. The Sun Warrior Leader was sitting alone at the center of a long table. When he saw me arrive, he raised his hand and called out, "Shen, you're just in time. A familiar face of yours is coming soon; you should meet him..."
"A familiar face?" I thought. Who could I possibly know among the Yang Masters? Could it be my parents returning? Or...
Just then, the large door slowly opened, and a person who looked exactly like Yao Long walked in, carrying several pieces of luggage.
"Yao... Yao Long?!" I exclaimed in surprise.
But then I reconsidered; this person couldn't be Yao Long but rather someone impersonating him to trick me. Realizing this made me suddenly remember that the real Yao Long seemed to still be in their hands.
I was about to ask the Sun Warrior Leader about this when the person who looked just like Yao Long walked slowly over to him and deeply bowed. Then he began to take down the luggage from his back one by one. Among them was the book "Divine Anomalies Classic: Nine Star Life and Death Diagram," along with Jiang Ling and Azure Spirit.
"Leader, here are the items you requested..." he said respectfully as he presented the Divine Anomalies Classic with both hands to the Sun Warrior Leader.
The Sun Warrior Leader took the book and turned to me, saying, "So, how about it? I must be someone you know."
Seeing this, I replied, "I think this person can't possibly be the Yao Long I know. You must have someone impersonating him. Where is the real Yao Long?"
Upon hearing my question, the Sun Warrior Leader looked a bit confused and said, "I didn't hire anyone to impersonate him. The person in front of you is indeed the Yao Long you interact with daily. If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself."
After hearing that, I was taken aback. I quickly stepped closer to Yao Long, with Wang Bin following closely behind.
Standing next to the person who looked exactly like Yao Long, I scrutinized him and tentatively whispered, "Yao Long? Is it really you?"
He glanced at me and nodded, "Yes, it's me..."
"You..." I was somewhat at a loss for words. "How could this happen?! Didn't Death Apostle see you get knocked out and then someone impersonated you? Why? Could it be that Death Apostle is lying...?"
