Chapter 2097: Chapter 2097 Aid From The Sect
Liu Xing suddenly telepathied to persuade Wu Kun, which piques Wu Kun’s curiosity.
Although his alchemy alchemy apprentice was not very serious before, he has made much progress recently!
Wu Kun immediately says to Ye Liuyun, "You guys go back first, let me think about it!"
Ye Liuyun also noticed the message Liu Xing sent to Wu Kun.
From Wu Kun’s reaction, Liu Xing should be saying something good for him.
Thus, he promptly agreed, taking Jin Qingsong and Lu Yi along with him as they left and gratefully nodded at Liu Xing before departing.
After Ye Liuyun left, Wu Kun then asks Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, do you know Ye Liuyun well?"
Liu Xing nods and replies, "It’s precisely because I understand him that I spoke for him. However, Master, please don’t misunderstand, I really don’t have a close relationship with Ye Liuyun."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Wu Kun asks, somewhat confused. "How can you know him if you don’t have a relationship?"
Liu Xing responded, "Understanding someone does not necessarily mean you have a relationship with them!"
Liu Xing thought it was unnecessary to hide the past with Ye Liuyun from his master, so he immediately recounts how Ye Liuyun poisoned him, and used him to cut off Murong Tian’s sources.
"This Ye Liuyun has quite a nerve! He dares to scheme against our Array Tower!" Wu Kun, after hearing this, was very angry at Ye Liuyun.
"Good thing that you’re alright! Otherwise, I wouldn’t forgive him!" Wu Kun stated angrily.
"Master, don’t get angry just yet! This is a good thing! He taught me a lesson and helped me onto the right path!" Liu Xing first calmed Wu Kun down.
Then he deduced for Wu Kun, "Ye Liuyun’s actions may seem risky, but they’re all calculated, directly targeting the opponent’s weakness!
"Think about it, the status of Murong Tian was invincible at that time! Yet, wasn’t he defeated by Ye Liuyun in the end? It’s the same principle with the present Alliance of Merchants.
As I see it, he would definitely not make a move without assurance. Besides, I suspect that if you don’t agree, he will come up with another method!
"I know you’re not afraid of him, but why bother? The items of the Refining Alliance, wouldn’t they be sold regardless of the buyer? Based on your relationship with their leader, it’s just a matter of saying the word!
He has claimed to be king and is leading the entire Northsky Sect. Whether from a personal or a sect perspective, he will take our feelings into account. It’s beneficial and harmless to us!"
Liu Xing analyzed comprehensively, leading Wu Kun into contemplation.
He was most satisfied with his disciple in this aspect, who was capable of thorough analysis. This was also the reason he could tolerate Liu Xing before.
"So, you’re saying we should help him?" Wu Kun asked for confirmation.
Liu Xing definitively nodded. "Think about it, if he is successful, he will naturally be grateful towards us. If he doesn’t succeed, will the Weapon-Refining Alliance stop selling artefacts to the Alliance of Merchants?
Therefore, there are only benefits and no drawbacks for us in this matter!"
"Uh-huh! You do have a point, the Weapon-Refining Alliance won’t be affected. If we lend him a hand and he succeeds, that’s great. If he fails, the Wanshang League won’t blame us!" Wu Kun analyzed along this train of thought.
"That’s right, that’s the logic!" Liu Xing nodded in approval.
"All right then! I will accompany him to the Regalty! Go and inform Ye Liuyun for me! Also, come along with me, you might be able to offer me some extra advice in case of any issues." Wu Kun finally said.
"Yes!" Liu Xing agreed and went to inform Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun immediately thanked Liu Xing.
The sudden change in attitudes of Wu Kun was surely influenced by Liu Xing’s help. Therefore, he immediately expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your help, brother! I know your master might not fully trust me at the moment. But after everything is settled, I’ll surely send a big gift as a thank you for your help!"
Liu Xing courteously stated, "You’re too kind, junior brother! You know what they say, we won’t make an acquaintance if we don’t go for it. And for that, I should be thanking you. You’ve enlightened me! I will be accompanying our master this time, shall we continue our talk on the journey?"
"Sounds good. Let’s continue our conversation on the way. Now you should go pack up; we will be departing soon."
Ye Liuyun saw Liu Xing off and then started to organize his manpower with Lu Yi. "Right now, the outside world is chaotic. As a precautionary measure, I would like to invite Elder Kurong and Elder Bai Feng from the Notrhsky Sect to escort us back to the royal city.
Once we reach the royal city, I will arrange their accommodation and meals. Once our work is over, I will have them escort the master and others back. Does this sound reasonable?"
Lu Yi had already thought about this issue. Ye Liuyun was busy and might not have time to send Jin Qingsong and Wu Kun back, which could be a hassle.
The disciples of the Northsky Sect depended on these two for their elixirs and weapons. So, he had originally planned to send manpower to protect them.
Now that Ye Liuyun has specifically requested it, he naturally agreed immediately.
Afterwards, various elders came and Ye Liuyun took them in a flying boat, rushing back to the Regalty.
The efforts of Ye Liuyun earlier were finally being rewarded at this time.
This was the genuine support given by the Xuantian Sect.
Meanwhile, the Alliance of Merchants was in uproar!
After the Third Elder went out, they could not establish contact. The other seven elders, at this moment, were like ants on a hot pan anxiously discussing what to do next.
"We should report to the elder!" At last, the First Elder Cao Yuntian made a decision, to report to the president of the alliance first.
The president of the Alliance of Merchants, Murong Changfeng, had gotten on in years and was preparing to hand over his responsibilities. For many years, he did not personally deal with the alliance’s affairs. Most of the time, things were handled by the eight elders.
When these elders came to report to him, he first began to criticize his subordinates.
"You all are too greedy! Isn’t this massive business enough? Yet you still aim for the Royal Management. If our people fall into their hands, I fear we’ll become their scapegoats!"
However, he eventually said. "Since this has already occurred, we must find a solution. Our Alliance of Merchants is not to be trifled with! We must uphold the prestige and status of the association!
Let’s allow the next generation to the opportunity! Who among the Murong family seems like a good fit to take over the association?"
Murong Changfeng had long asked these elders to test the family disciples and select the future successor.
The Grand Elder immediately responded, "Originally Murong Tian and Murong Lin were quite suitable! However, Murong Tian has already died at the hands of Ye Liuyun, so now only Murong Lin seems the most suitable!"
"Oh? It seems that Ye Liuyun really wants to oppose us. Moreover, he even dares to attack our Murong family’s disciples!
In that case, let Lin have exchanges with him to hone his skill! However, you must protect Lin well and not let any accident happen to him again!”
"Yes!" Several elders uniformly agreed and withdrew.
As soon as the First Elder Cao Yuntian came out, he had the Fourth Elder Han Jian and the Fifth Elder Jin Hu go to protect Murong Lin personally and set off immediately to meet Ye Liuyun in the Regalty.
Cao Yuntian also specifically instructed Han Jian and Jin Hu, "From today onwards, you two put everything down and just focus on ensuring Murong Lin’s safety. Remember, you must stick to him closely and protect him!"
