Laojun Temple, quiet room.

Priest Qingniu personally served tea, "Teacher, it has not been easy to meet you."

Xuan Jizi said, "I've been used to living a carefree life."

Priest Qingniu hesitated, "Then why did teacher come over now? If I can help, I will do so." He did not believe that his mysterious master would show up for no reason.

"I've been asked by someone to do something, so I did not have a choice." Xuan Jizi said, taking out a silver token.

Priest Qingniu did not understand, "What is that?" Although he was the third generation of a rich family, he could not enter Silver Hand. Naturally, he did not know anything.

Xuan Jizi roughly introduced the Silver Hand to him.

'Siii!' Priest Qingniu took in a cold breath and asked, "Is there really such a mysterious organization on this earth? I thought that it was just all made up."

Online, there were always such guesses regarding various mysterious organizations. Normal people all felt that they were just made up weird stories and did not delve too much into them.

Even if they believed these rumors, there were no channels for them to discuss and provide evidence.

Xuan Jizi nodded, "I'm a member of Silver Hand, and I've been asked to invite you to represent Laojun Temple to accept this silver token."

"If I accept it, do I need to follow their instructions?" Priest Qingniu hesitated as priests like him could not stand such a restriction.

Xuan Jizi smiled, "It is not that exaggerated."

Xuan Jizi continued by describing the goal of Silver Hand to him, and it was just to let Laojun Temple draw the line with Shanhai City and join the Yanhuang Alliance camp.

Xuan Jizi continued, "After you accept, Silver Hand will use some of their strength in Chengdu to ensure that Laojun Temple takes down the Satellite City as a sort of repayment."

Priest Qingniu was instantly tempted.

The priest occupation was not a common occupation in the game, and Laojun Temple had many challengers in Chengdu. Overall, its position was not stable.

Priest Qingniu was deep in thought about how to take down the Satellite City.

Who knew that there would actually be such a good opportunity?

'Then it seems like teacher really is my lucky star.' Priest Qingniu thought to himself.

Pretty much without hesitation, Priest Qingniu accepted the token and smiled, "Since it's teacher who asked, I'll of course accept."

Xuan Jizi nodded, and his face did not show any happiness or sadness.

In the end, Xuan Jizi did not want to enter all these battles. However, as he was in the underworld, he had no choice. Even hidden aristocratic families could not totally break away from the constraints of this world.

"Teacher, may I ask why Silver Hand wants to go against Shanhai City?"

Xuan Jizi could not be too detailed. Even in his description of Silver Hand, he had kept many details away from Priest Qingniu. Who knows whether this person would be a big mouth?

"Maybe they are not used to the way Shanhai City does things." Xuan Jizi randomly spouted.

Priest Qingniu looked like he understood, but it also looked like he did not want to understand it. A third party connected Laojun Temple and Shanhai City, so there was no real relationship between them.

"I can only say I'm sorry." However, Priest Qingniu did not have any regret or guilt in his heart.

...

Luoyang, Tingyu Floor Headquarters.

Jianqi Leiyin's face was ice cold as she stared at the man opposite her, "What are you doing here?"

Currently standing facing her was the guild leader of Jianqi Zongheng, Yijian Xilai, who was her ex and now her enemy.

Yijian Xilai said, "Ah Yin, even till today, you are not willing to forgive me?"

"In your dreams!" Jianqi Leiyin started at him angrily.

Yijian Xilai sighed, "You are still so stubborn."

Whatever happened that year had passed. As a man, Yijian Xilai would not breach the topic. However, his feelings toward Jianqi Leiyin were sincere.

As the guild leader of Jianqi Zongheng, he could get any girl he wanted.

However, he was still single.

This love and feeling was noticed by not only members of Jianqi Zongheng but also members of Tingyu Floor. The guild members of both sides tried to persuade and convince their own guild leaders.

Just as Yijian Xilai had said, Jianqi Leiyin was really stubborn. When the two broke up, her stubbornness had something to do with it. After breaking up, Jianqi Leiyin openly said that she would defeat him. Naturally, she would not easily give up on that.

Maybe that had already become her goal.

"Do you know how dangerous the environment in Planet Hope is?" Yijian Xilai suddenly changed the topic.

Jianqi Leiyin's brows furrowed.

In the promotion by the federation, Planet Hope was pretty much a paradise. People like Jianqi Leiyin naturally would not believe it as the federation merely said so to persuade more people to move and also to give them hope.

Jianqi Leiyin was extremely curious about the environment of Planet Hope.

Yijian Xilai continued, "Long before the migration, the federation sent a squadron to explore the planet. Not long ago, the data was sent over to Gaia."

"Truthfully, Planet Hope is not an ideal home. Large amounts of natives live there, and they walk a totally different path from Earth's technology focused one. Their body capabilities are shockingly strong and some even have special abilities."

"As a result, adventure gamemode players like us will be extremely important on Planet Hope. The federation wants us to take root in Planet Hope, and they need both the Lords to expand and make territory but also many soldiers to fight on the frontlines. Gaia has already used the details of the natives and made them into the various races in the game. After making them, they will be first thrown into the underground world for us to train against."

Jianqi Leiyin was stunned by this news.

After a long while, she said, "I thank you for telling me all of this. But it's impossible for me to forgive you, so you can leave!"

Yijian Xilai panicked, "Ah Yin, why don't you get it?"

"Get what!"

A passionate expression appeared on his face, and ambition flashed across his eyes, "This Planet Hope isn't a danger but a chance. It is a chance for us to change our fates. As long as we control our guilds, we will be the leader of men when we arrive, and we will not be chess pieces. If we keep on fighting amongst ourselves, we will just be playing with our own fates. So Ah Yin, I beg you, let's work together. If we do, who will we be afraid of in the China region?"

Jianqi Leiyin scoffed, "A person who cannot even control the Jingdu Imperial City saying such big words, aren't you afraid the wind will cut your tongue?"

Yijian Xilai was not surprised, "You're talking about Shadow Alliance and Yimeng Pavillion? They will not last for long. The Satellite City in Jingdu Region will definitely belong to Jianqi Zongheng."

Jianqi Leiyin froze. When she saw that Jianqi Xilai was extremely confident, she purposely said, "If you can take it down it's because of the support of Yanhuang Alliance. Being their soldier yet you're telling me you do not want to be a chess piece? Do you think that I am a kid?"

Yijian Xilai got unhappy, "What frontline soldier? We are working together, making use of one another. Without them, would I have gotten the intel from before to tell you? When we reach Planet Hope and do our own stuff, who can control who?"

Jianqi Leiyin said, "Since that's the case, then why not work with Shanhai City? At the very least, Qiyue Wuyi is not as shameless and unscrupulous as Di Chen. Don't you know what happened with Yunnan City-State? Also, Shadow Alliance and Yimeng Pavilion are supported by Shanhai City. Even with Yanhuang Alliance helping you, are you confident about taking it down? The current Yanhuang Alliance has been crushed by Shanhai City. Do not be fooled by others."

Yijian Xilai smiled, "That's the reason I came to look for you today."

"I really want to see what great thoughts you have."

Jianqi Leiyin's interest was thoroughly captured. In her eyes, Yijian Xilai had come prepared.

Yijian Xilai smiled mysteriously, "You do not know, right? Shanhai City will not last for long."

"Are you okay? The words you're saying are getting more and more ridiculous."

Yijian Xilai said in a low tone, "Ah Yin, I'll tell you truthfully. Yanhuang Alliance really does not feel confident about facing Shanhai City. But behind them there's a mysterious organization. That organization is so terrifying that you'll be frightened to death. This time, Shanhai City has angered them, so they want to deal with Shanhai City. Won't we be asking for death if we work together with Shanhai City now?"

"Mysterious organization? Is it something Di Chen made up to scare you?"

Yijian Xilai shook his head, "I am not foolish. As for the specific situation, I cannot tell you. Unless you swear that even if you do not agree with my proposal, you will not tell what I said today to Qiyue Wuyi. Ah Yin, I'm putting my life on the line, you won't harm me, right?"

When Jianqi Leiyin heard that, her heart was touched, "Ok I swear."

Following which, she swore an oath.

When Yijian Xilai saw that, he had a complicated expression, one of happiness and one of reminiscence.

Jianqi Leiyin's swear was a special oath that only the two of them knew about; it was a shared memory.

'At least she has not forgotten about the past.' Yijian Xilai thought in his heart.

Yijian Xilai kept his emotions, slowly taking out a white token and telling Jianqi Leiyin about Silver Hand.

Jianqi Leiyin's expression was exactly the same as Priest Qingniu.

Yijian Xilai could understand her expression as he felt the exact same way, "Ah Yin, now you believe my words? Stop following Shanhai City, there's no tomorrow in doing so."
