“No wonder…” Nian Liuyun immediately cleared all the doubts he previously had of Wang Yu.
“Enough about me… Going back to the topic, why are you doing all these?” Wang Yu pointed at the crowd of fans.
“This…” Nian Liuyun felt depressed the moment he was questioned by Wang Yu.
“Hidden Lurker said that this was the fastest way to expand the guild’s strength…” Nian Liuyun stammered as he replied.
“…Oh.” Wang Yu was left speechless.
It seemed like this Hidden Lurker was truly full of ambitions. This was clearly his way of making a great comeback. It was no wonder he was capable of leading over 100,000 players previously. However, wasn’t this method slightly too desperate for a guy like him?
Although the Quan Zhen Sect members were all shameless and despicable, they were a bunch of people who simply loved to amuse themselves by making fun of each other. They would never make use of their friendship to serve their own ambitions. Hidden Lurker always looked decent and proper but he was actually this dirty and scheming. As compared to the members of the Quan Zhen Sect, this Hidden Lurker was more of a hypocrite than any of them.
“You need to be cautious when making friends ah.” Wang Yu sighed as he replied.
This was Nian Liuyun’s affair so Wang Yu was naturally not going to talk about how he shouldn’t be used by Hidden Lurker like that. All he could do was to remind him.
Who knew that Nian Liuyun was aware of that too as he replied, “I know Old Lurker is using me but he has no other choice too…”
Spring-rain Pavillion was already a thing of the past. The main forces in the Termination Manor back then had already left to separate guilds. Nobody would recognise Hidden Lurker and to make a comeback, Hidden Lurker had no other choice but to make use of the only piece of meat in his hands to bring in other mighty wolves. Currently, Nian Liuyun was that piece of meat.
“True love!” Wang Yu commented on Nian Liuyun’s actions.
“Erm Bull… Bull.” Nian Liuyun appeared as though he wanted to say something but he had no idea how to address Wang Yu. Addressing him as senior seemed a little awkward now. Addressing him as Uncle Bull felt weird because both of them were of similar age. However, knowing Wang Yu’s status, he was afraid that he would mess up the seniority in the clan. Therefore, this moment was an awkward one.
“You can address me as Old Bull.” Wang Yu wiped his own sweat.
“Brother Bull, why are you heading towards Titan City?” Nian Liuyun finally confirmed what he wanted to address Wang Yu.
“Hehe!” Wang Yu chuckled, “The same reason as you!”
“Qinggong quest?”
“That’s right! I’ve heard that you are level 40 now?” Wang Yu had always been curious about this. Wang Yu only managed to jump 5 levels because of the quest completion points from the hidden stage. Wasn’t it mentioned that only the first ten teams to attempt the dungeon would face the hidden stage? Why was Nian Liuyun also able to accept the quest?
“I am level 36…” Nian Liuyun replied, “Personal Qinggong’s quest has no level restriction. You can obtain it as long as you complete it.”
“I see… Our quests might clash with one another and know that I will not give chance if that happens.” Wang Yu chuckled.
“Me too.” Nian Liuyun responded.
Flights were usually dry and dull but this trip was different mainly because of Nian Liuyun.
Even though the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect were all Wang Yu’s friends, they were mainly chatting about which NPC wore revealing clothes and many other lustful topics like that. Half the time Wang Yu would listen to their idle chats turn to arguments and curses…
Nian Liuyun was also a martial artist so he had the most common topics with Wang Yu. Nian Liuyun appeared to be just as awkward as Wang Yu at times. When he finally found a person who had these much common topics as him, he seemed to have regretted not having met Wang Yu earlier.
During the flight, both of them were chatting with smiles of exultation on their faces. They had completely ignored and disregarded the crowd of fans, Hidden Lurker and co. This was all the way until they descended the airship when some fans asked, “Who on earth is that big sized Pugilist? Why is he so close with Great God Liuyun?”
At this moment, the Knight who wanted to kill Wang Yu acted all proud as he replied, “You clueless bunch! That person is Iron Bull! Great God Liuyun told me that personally.”
“Iron Bull? F*ck! Why didn’t you tell us earlier?” Everyone started pointed and cursing at the Knight.
Nian Liuyun and Wang Yu had always been compared against each other on forums and the fans of both parties were endlessly trying to defend their idol. At a time like that, almost all the Nian Liuyun’s fans would want to see the two of them fight one on one. They wanted to see how Nian Liuyun was going to trash Wang Yu without breaking a sweat. However, all their great plans were foiled by this stupid Knight.
However, time waits for no man especially when there was a powerful competitor beside. At this moment, Wang Yu and Nian Liuyun arrived at Zeus’ residence.
On the airship, Wang Yu found out from Nian Liuyun that Lorraine Kaji Mountain was the holy land of Titan City. Without the permission of the Titan City’s Lord, Zeus, even the Seven Heroes or Seven Apostles would not be allowed to enter…
XXX years ago, the leader of the dragon clan disregarded the Titan clan and flew into the Lorraine Kaji Mountain. This resulted in the great war between the two clans and they had been arch rivals ever since. This was the reason why Zeus became extremely curious when he saw that Wang Yu was a Dragon Slayer.
This secret was bought by Hidden Lurker using a lot of gold from the manager at the Mage Academy Library. Wang Yu had to admit that Hidden Lurker had really gone to great lengths just to make Nian Liuyun stronger than before. The people from the Quan Zhen Sect would never do the same thing for Wang Yu.
It wasn’t because they were petty but because in their eyes, Wang Yu was already invincible. If it was something Wang Yu couldn’t do, they could forget about trying to help him too.
This was considered Wang Yu’s luck that he met Nian Liuyun and shared this secret with him. Otherwise, he would have to waste a lot of time travelling from Lorraine Kaji Mountain to Zeus’ residence and back to Lorraine Kaji Mountain.
Hidden Lurker almost fainted when he found out that Nian Liuyun casually shared the secret with Wang Yu… Nian Liuyun was just like Wang Yu as both of them didn’t like to keep secrets. All Nian Liuyun did was to smile at Hidden Lurker and Hidden Lurker lost his mood to reprimand him.
The group of people arrived at Zeus’ residence and they could tell how poor Zeus remained. As he noticed the group of people, Zeus still loved to give the cold shoulder. Zeus was the literal example of how a beggar can never be bankrupt so he didn’t choose to act all mighty.
Hidden Lurker saw the ignorant Zeus so the moment he stepped into the residence, he walked over enthusiastically.
“Master Zeus, I’ve heard of your great name since a long time ago. I’ve heard of your stories when I was growing up…”
Hidden Lurker was excellent in voice and expression as he appeared to be full of admiration for Zeus. If Wang Yu hadn’t found out from Nian Liuyun that Hidden Lurker only went to find out more about Titan City and Zeus after Nian Liuyun accepted the quest, Wang Yu would have believed every word Hidden Lurker said. Wang Yu sighed as he thought to himself, “He is truly good at the art of politics… Nian Liuyun is really a fool…”
Even so, Zeus was not interested in Hidden Lurker’s friendliness as he spotted Wang Yu, who was standing behind Hidden Lurker, “Master Dragon Slayer, you’re here again…”
Zeus sounded extremely respectful but his tone sounded more like ‘you’re finally here again’. This made Wang Yu sweat a little.
“Yes, I am here again…” Wang Yu chuckled as he replied.
