Chapter 344: Support

Chapter 344: Support

Mu Yiting and her crew were having a good collaboration with Lu, who had already helped her reclaim some lost territories.

As a result, their communication and cooperation with the Refining Demon Sect had decreased, but Lin Nuo suggested maintaining a good relationship with the Refining Demon Sect; having more allies is always better than having more enemies.

Ni Daye’s talent in crafting magical weapons wasn’t publicly known within Helong Hall, only a few of the managers were aware.

Recently, Lin Nuo had been focusing on a few tasks within Helong Hall:

Gathering intelligence, eating Meat Floss Cake, drinking Cool Cold Water, and brainstorming for Mu Yiting.

After taking down the first pigeon of Xu Dong, he was always on the lookout for the next one and would hit it down without a second thought.

The underworld is the underworld; anyone can engage in undercover work.

Today, Lin Nuo once again attended a meeting; this time, it was about Lu’s situation rather than that of Helong Hall.

Lu was the head of a certain underworld force, and after receiving various magical weapons from Lin Nuo, he had become arrogant and started plundering, catching the attention of righteous sects.

Now, he was in a standoff with those sects, but neither side dared to make the first move.

So, with Lu in trouble, he needed to find Mu Yiting’s group for support.

The managers held a meeting, deliberating on who would go.

“I’ll go.”

Mu Yiting volunteered, since it was about the future cooperation between both parties, she naturally needed to step forward.

“I also request to go; I haven’t done anything for Helong Hall recently, and I hope to contribute this time.” Xu Dong joined in.

“Alright, then we’ll send Yiting and Xu Dong.”

Mu Feng agreed to their requests, considering their strong abilities; there was no problem sending them to assist Lu.

At this moment, Xu Dong added:

“My lord, I think we should bring a capable newcomer along; it could train their abilities and maybe they could become a pillar of Helong Hall in the future.”

“Yes, Father, I think Ni Daye would be a great choice.”

Mu Yiting quickly chimed in, as long as Lin Nuo was willing, she would bring him along for the task.

To them, this didn’t seem odd at all, but Lin Nuo was stifling a laugh inside.

Wow, are you really addressing your father as your uncle?

Listening to this, Lin Nuo felt something was off about this support mission.

Are they going to make a move?

Heh, fine, let’s make a move.

“Is Young Master Ni willing to make the trip?”

Mu Yiting looked at Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo nodded:

“Allies in trouble is a matter regarding our future cooperation; I shall not back down from providing support.”

Xu Dong agreed, saying: “Though Brother Ni is young, such ambition truly makes him a hero of his age. My lord, I must say Brother Ni is indeed the best candidate.”

Lin Nuo: “…”

You’re sneaking in a jab at me, just wait.

Mu Feng stroked his beard, pondering. His daughter really fancied this young fellow, always wanting to include him in everything.

Sigh, he’s getting older, and with his current shaky influence, he does need capable young people to take on greater responsibilities.

But this young man is still an outsider; he can’t command respect among them.

If he could become a son-in-law, everything would fall into place.

It would be interesting to see what this young man could do to turn the tide.

Mu Feng replied:

“Fine, we’ll have Young Brother Ni accompany you; if there’s no other opinion, let’s adjourn.”

After a while, no objections were raised, and the meeting was dissolved.

Though some questioned Ni Daye’s capabilities, none dared to voice their concerns.

It’s straightforward; Ni Daye has the young master’s favor, and has even contributed significantly to the cooperation with Lu. In the future, he would undoubtedly be someone hotly pursued.

Besides, this is a mission, and it doesn’t relate directly to their interests, who would be foolish enough to raise doubts?

Whatever.

After the meeting, Lin Nuo left the conference room with Mu Yiting. Within Helong Hall, Lin Nuo served as Mu Yiting’s advisor; whenever there was uncertainty, they would consult him.

“Young Master Ni, Uncle Dong is a good guy and quite capable. Working with him will definitely yield better results.”

Mu Yiting smiled at Lin Nuo.

Lin Nuo nodded:

“Yes, I’ve noticed; he has offered unique insights in several meetings, which truly earns my respect.”

Indeed, he’s quite the schemer, managing to stay under the radar in this place for so long without being exposed, he must be strong.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Dong walked over.

With a friendly smile, Xu Dong politely greeted Lin Nuo and Mu Yiting:

“Young master and Brother Ni, it’s an honor to join the two of you on this mission. I hope we can help Lu overcome this crisis.”

“Yes, please enlighten us, senior.”

Lin Nuo responded politely to Xu Dong; “enlighten us” meant something else entirely.

The two seemed to be getting along harmoniously, unbeknownst to each other’s hidden agendas.

Xu Dong thought Lin Nuo was unaware of his schemes, but little did he know Lin Nuo had already caught wind of the pigeon information.

Meanwhile, Mu Yiting was completely oblivious and very happy that her respected senior was collaborating with her admired man, believing that success was ensured.

Thus, the three set off with their crew, heading to assist Lu in distress.

……

On the Xuanyun Sect’s side, they were also dispatched to execute a mission.

Currently, various factions were causing chaos, and as cultivators concerned for the common people’s well-being, they certainly couldn’t allow the underworld forces to act with impunity.

In truth, they had heard of Lu’s influence within the Xuanyun Sect, but previously it hadn’t posed a significant threat, so they didn’t pay attention.

Now, with their advanced magical tools and medicine, they were burning, killing, and plundering everywhere, posing a severe threat to the safety of the people.

This time, the Xuanyun Sect, along with other sects, joined forces to combat them, putting immense pressure on Lu.

Leading the charge was Qin Shili.

Initially, she hadn’t wanted to go; taking down such a small underworld force felt tedious.

However, once she learned that Lin Nuo would be going, she decided to join.

Now, she was with the other cultivators, stopped near Lu’s territory.

“Senior Sister Qin, when do we strike? We can’t just let them run rampant.”

A righteous cultivator said indignantly.

However, Qin Shili coldly replied:

“Now is not the time.”

Exactly, Lin Nuo wasn’t here, it wasn’t the right time.

Once she made her move, Lu’s forces would be wiped out in an instant. There would be no need to wait.

She was only waiting for Lin Nuo to arrive so she could coordinate with him.

Would he be coming soon?

Just as she contemplated this, a butterfly flitted past the window.

This butterfly was no ordinary creature; it was a message medium from Master Zhao, similar to a spiritual bird.

Ah, he’s coming.

Following his instructions, it would soon be time for a grand performance.

……

At this moment, the Refining Demon Sect also received news.

“You say they have talents for crafting high-end magical weapons, so now the partnership with Lu has broken down, was it to collaborate with them instead?”

“Yes, it’s absolutely true, Young Lord Ling,” the messenger said earnestly.

“How can I trust you?” Ling Meng expressed skepticism.

“If you don’t believe me, Young Lord Ling, they will soon be going to support Lu. You can go check for yourself.”
