Chapter 1254 Asking President Lou for Help
"How come you have time to see me?"
Lou Yishen leaned lazily against the wall, looking more weathered than before.
Although he wasn't involved in the Pure Guild's affairs, he had overheard a lot of interesting things happening lately.
Therefore, he was somewhat surprised when he saw Sun Wukong appear.
Shouldn't Sun Wukong be busy fighting with the Pure Guild right now? Why is he here looking for him?
"Of course, I need President Lou's help with something." Sun Wukong didn't keep him in suspense and directly stated his purpose.
He hoped to use Lou Yishen's connections to monitor Cangbai.
"You think highly of me, but how can you be so sure I can help you with this?" Lou Yishen's lips twitched.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter, even out of consideration for his friendship with Sun Wukong; it wasn't a worthwhile deal for him.
What Lou Yishen cares about most now is how to rebuild his own Taskers Association.
Sun Wukong was not angry when he heard the other party's rejection; instead, he showed a faint smile.
"Guild Master Lou, you don't think this is just a small matter between the Third Guild and Pale, do you?" Sun Wukong asked leisurely.
Lou Yishen rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Even if the entire Heavenly Dao Alliance's Missioners Association is dragged into this, it has nothing to do with me, Lou."
"I don't have the time to play those kinds of spying games."
In the end, wasn't Sun Wukong's goal just that legendary weapon? That sounds quite noble.
Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in either the Pure Guild or that legendary weapon.
No matter what Sun Wukong says, he will not be lured into a trap.
Lou Yishen was so confident.
Of course, he also has the confidence and self-control to back it up.
However, what Sun Wukong said next made Lou Yishen, who was already planning to leave, stop in his tracks.
Sun Wukong said seriously, "What if I said that the curse on the members of the Pure Guild does not exist?"
Lou Yishen's interest was piqued upon hearing this: "Huh?"
It seems there really is some inside information here.
Lou Yishen quickly suppressed his curiosity and refused Sun Wukong once again:
"But what does this have to do with me? I don't need to help you with this trivial matter and be forced into this conflict, do I?"
Moreover, since Sun Wukong is so powerful that he has uncovered the inside story, why would he need to go through all that trouble by asking me for help?
With Sun Wukong's strength, it wouldn't be a problem at all if he really wanted to secretly monitor and dig out juicy information.
Unless, of course, the other party is trying to use you to attract attention, throwing yourself out as bait!
At that point, my situation will be in danger.
Lou Yishen didn't think that risking his life for such a small amount of curiosity was a worthwhile deal.
"Then how can you be so sure that this so-called 'curse' won't spread to other people?" Sun Wukong casually dropped another bombshell.
These words undoubtedly made Lou Yi think a lot. He frowned deeply, "The Heavenly Alliance will not stand idly by and watch this absurd drama continue to spread."
"If things go beyond what was planned, the administrators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance will definitely intervene."
Just like after the Snowdrift Guild and Pure Guild incident was exposed, didn't the administrators of the Heavenly Alliance step in and get the compensation back?
Sun Wukong continued, "Really? But recently... the chain of deaths across the region caused by a former member of the Pure Guild didn't attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao Alliance administrators, did it?"
This also indirectly shows that the Heavenly Dao Alliance administrators' stance is more inclined towards the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, unless the mission takers do something that harms the Heavenly Dao, the administrators of the Heavenly Dao Alliance basically turn a blind eye.
Sun Wukong calmly asked, "How can you guarantee that you won't be caught up in the 'curse' and become one of those who die unexpectedly? Or, can your substitute die for you again?"
Lou Yishen suddenly turned around and looked at Sun Wukong.
He felt his heart pounding. Although he didn't want to admit it, Sun Wukong had indeed taken his life in his hands.
He doesn't want to die.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have orchestrated his own death when he sensed the unfavorable wind direction.
Everything is just to make myself live a better life.
Unfortunately, his substitute was indeed a one-time use item.
He looked at Sun Wukong beside him with a probing gaze, somewhat suspicious that Sun Wukong might have secretly investigated him.
Otherwise, how did the other party know about the substitute death prop?
Look at Sun Wukong's confident attitude! He clearly already knew that his substitute tool could only be used once.
However, the other party chose to reveal this at this time, wasn't it just to use this information to control me?
Even though he desperately wanted to tell Sun Wukong that he wouldn't fall for that, the truth was, he didn't dare to gamble.
Once this news is leaked.
Once the news of his survival spread like wildfire.
He knew better than anyone what kind of trouble he would face.
Lou Yi sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead in exasperation, and said, "I really underestimated you. You actually stumbled upon a lucky guess and got it right!"
"I didn't just stumble upon this by chance; it was just some speculation. Of course, Chairman Lou, I won't let you work for nothing." Sun Wukong said, flipping his hand to produce a pocket watch.
Lou Yishen's eyes widened involuntarily when Sun Wukong took out the pocket watch.
He was, of course, a connoisseur, and could naturally tell that this pocket watch was a rare treasure.
Seeing Lou Yishen's expression, Sun Wukong knew he was interested, so he smiled slightly and calmly said:
"This prop can be used to play a time trick, briefly stopping time within a one-kilometer radius for half an hour, and without any side effects."
"If used in a crisis, it can greatly increase the success rate of battle or retreat. Most importantly..."
"This magical artifact has no limit on the number of times it can be used. President Lou, you should understand what that means, right?"
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Lou Yishen felt his heart was out of control.
Does Sun Wukong really want to give himself such a treasure?
What surprised him even more was that Sun Wukong said there was no limit to the number of times this thing could be used.
It's important to know that the time-limited items commonly found on the black market all have limitations on the number of times they can be used.
