Chapter 0170 – Behind the Scenes – Absolute Returns

Xu Dalong’s eyes widened, and I thought, he would break down and despair, but to my surprise, he was unusually calm.

“Sure enough, my hunch, it wasn’t wrong. I knew it, how could I be so lucky? From the very beginning, I found it strange that with so many handsome and dashing upstarts, why did she choose to support me? In her heart, she must be laughing at me, right?”

“Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, why don’t you celebrate the fact that you recognized her disguise.”

“How did you know?”

“The finals.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’m afraid you’ll misbehave.”

“So why are you, now, telling me? You could have just pretended not to know.”

“Because, you’ve run into a problem that is, more than acting, more important.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Your survival instinct, awakened.”

“Huh?” Xu Dalong froze.

“Everyone, has a survival instinct, but the survival instinct of a martial artist is different from that of an ordinary person, especially an expert. Your body, will sense danger much earlier than your consciousness. Even if the other person smiles and greets you with sweet words, your body, instinctively, will reject him. Your sweat hairs will stand up, your heartbeat will speed up, and your mood, will become irritable, just like you are today.”

“So, that’s my survival instinct.”

“That’s right, you have to remember that feeling, remember your body, how it senses danger.”

Xu Dalong was touched that I actually cared more about his survival instincts than arresting the Divine Order Society Master.

“Thank you, sir.”

“Now, all you have to do is act the part.”

“You can rest assured that my acting, which is very good, is a devious and cunning one.”

“Then we’ll see.”

“What are you going to do?”

“You have to take the initiative, guide her, and bring you to the Order of Heaven.”

We don’t have time to wait slowly, if she wants to slowly gain your trust, then we may have to wait for months, or even more than a year. But we must complete our mission and return to the Demon Sect as soon as possible.

Xu Dalong thought for a moment and said, “Do you still remember, what she said at the banquet? She said that three years ago, when she participated in the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’, she was just like me, with no family and no money. I think that she didn’t lie, and I can start with that.”

“You’re trying to use what you have in common to gain her sympathy?”

“Exactly.”

“One more thing, when you take me to meet the man behind her, make sure you take me with you.”

“Okay, leave it to me.”

Two days later, Xu Dalong took Shao Yu and came to a hill overlooking the entire Martial Arts Alliance.

“The view from here, it’s beautiful.”

“Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I come here.”

“What a great place.”

Xu Dalong looked down the mountain, at the continuous buildings, his heart filled with shock. He had always thought that the Demon Sect was the number one force in the world, but he had never thought that the scale of the Martial Arts Alliance was also so huge.

“That day, I heard you say that when you participated in the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’, you were penniless and could only sleep rough in the mountains, I was really touched because, I came from the same place. I must be in the Martial Arts Alliance and make a name for myself.”

“It’s hard.”

“Huh?”

“Although you haven’t officially joined the Martial Arts Alliance yet, I would like to remind you that in the Martial Arts Alliance, it’s very difficult to excel if you don’t have a backer. You may be able to become a captain, but you can never become a hall master. Even if you put your best foot forward and become a Hall Master, you can never become an Elder. Your upper limit, has already been decided.”

Shao Yu’s acting skills, but also very good, if I do not know the truth, will certainly be her “heartfelt words”, moved.

“In the future, you will definitely be even more disappointed because you are the champion of the ‘Subterranean Dragon Battle’. You might join the Martial Arts Alliance as a captain, but you will, in the end, only be a captain. You want to rely on your strength and change your fate? How is that possible? It’s a peaceful time now, there’s no war, no killing, you don’t even have the chance, to prove your strength. The myth of starting from nothing only exists in stories.”

“What should I do then?” Xu Dalong asked with a confused look on his face.

His acting, it’s getting better and better.

“You have to find a backer, put down your pride, and show loyalty to those who are willing to promote you. That’s what I did.”

“Please introduce me to your backer, I’m willing to give up my pride, I’m willing to serve him, please, help me.”

Shao Yu was silent for a moment, then, said, “Well, since we are destined to be together, I will ask for you.”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t get your hopes up, my lord, doesn’t always want to see you.”

“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask you for.”

“What is it?”

“I would like to introduce my guards, as well, to your lord.”

“Your guards?”

“If the Martial Arts Alliance, is really like what you said, then I need to find a backer for myself, as well. I want my guards, to join the Martial Alliance and become my right hand man. I need someone who I can trust in the unaffiliated Martial Arts Alliance. His loyalty, is unquestionable.”

Xu Dalong acted like a “country bumpkin who doesn’t know the rules” and insisted on taking me with him.

“This …… is difficult, I’m afraid.”

“Please.” Xu Dalong pleaded.

Three days later, Shao Yu finally contacted Xu Dalong.

She led us, to an estate far from the Martial League.

Around the manor, although there were only a few guards, their strength, however, was unfathomable, it seemed that the identity of the person she wanted to introduce was not simple.

“Master, I’m back.”

“Come in.”

We followed Shao Yu, into the room.

The room was large, with a curtain hanging in the center, blocking the owner’s face.

I used my “divine eye technique” to see the owner’s true colors through the curtain.

“Is he?”

I was taken aback, I knew him.

He is the owner of Jin Long Zhuang – L曺梨伯.

Also known as Zhao Xin’s father.

Either, he had recruited Zhao Xin;or, it was the Heavenly Fate Society, who had recruited their father and son separately. If it was the latter, then their father and son, most likely, neither of them knew that the other, had also joined the Heavenly Fate Society.

Either way, it’s shocking.

“You want to be in the Martial Arts Alliance and make a name for yourself?” The voice of the Lavatory Lipper, from behind the curtain, came out.

His tone was like a different person from back then, when he was by the side of the Martial Alliance Master. Back then, he had lowered his voice and groveled for the sake of joining hands with the Martial Alliance Master;but now, he was filled with majesty that was chilling. It seemed that this was his true face.

“Yes! Late generation, I very much want to be in the Martial Arts Alliance and make a name for myself.” Xu Dalong said respectfully.

I finally understood why, after the death of Fire Dance Ji, Jin Long Zhuang would become a pillar of the righteous martial arts, because, they had started laying out their plans a long time ago.

Could it be that the Air Treatment Liverpool is the master of the Heavenly Fate Society? Or is there someone else who is the master of the Air Treatment Association?

One thing is for sure, the power of the Heaven’s Destiny Society is even bigger and more terrifying than I had imagined.

“I can help you, but what …… can you do for me,” the air treatment Lieber asked, after a pause.”
