Chapter 2072 What's the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack?!
When Fang Zunhe and Feng Xi arrived at the Shadow Guard Camp, Commander Wan was already waiting at the camp gate.
Venerable Fang: “…”
Look at you, so worthless!
How much do you still resemble what you used to be?
Money really can make the devil turn the millstone!
Of course, it's not all about money; Liu Yiyi also found three great mentors!
The key point is that she has become a candidate for the leader of the alliance and is very likely to become the successor to the leader.
Commander Wan said with a smile, "Yiyi, I heard that you not only apprenticed under three famous teachers but also became a candidate for the alliance leader. Congratulations!"
"Quickly, please come in!"
Fengxi smiled and said a few polite words, then followed Commander Wan to his residence.
Throughout the entire process, Venerable Fang didn't even receive a glance from him.
He even suspected that he might have acquired the Ghost Guard's ability to become invisible, otherwise how come Commander Wan, who was practically blind, "didn't see" him?!
After the guests and hosts were seated, Commander Wan finally looked at Venerable Fang:
"Old Fang, you said you've known Yiyi longer than anyone else, so why didn't you become her master?"
Venerable Fang: @￥@%￥@
Why are you bringing up something that is not related to the topic?
You're so shameless!
He had considered taking Fengxi as his disciple, but after weighing his own abilities, he felt he wasn't quite qualified. Moreover, his relationship with Fengxi didn't resemble that of a master and disciple; rather, it was more like... a treacherous collusion.
Just as he was feeling awkward, Fengxi said with a smile:
"The Venerable Ones of Chengdao Hall are all teachers who impart knowledge and skills. In particular, Venerable Fang not only taught me body-strengthening techniques but also taught me many principles of conduct and interpersonal relationships."
He just doesn't have any plans to take on apprentices right now, otherwise I would have already become his disciple.
Venerable Fang quickly seized the opportunity: "Yiyi is right. I'm used to being carefree and have no plans to take on any disciples for the time being."
Commander Wan curled his lip and said, "In the end, you're still not qualified!"
At this moment, Fengxi asked:
"Commander Wan, I came here to visit you, and also to ask if An Er and the others have come out of the secret room."
They were also implicated because of me, and I feel really bad about it.
"It's only been a little over half a month, but they've made a huge mistake this time. I estimate they'll be locked up for at least three months, and it's a long time before they get out!"
Feng Xi sighed:
"When they come out, I have to make sure they show their appreciation, otherwise I'll feel really bad!"
By the way, where's Dark Five? Is he unlikely to come out anytime soon?
Commander Wan snorted coldly: "Him? That depends on Shadow Lord's mood."
The subtext is that it's a long way off.
Fengxi said somewhat awkwardly, "It's good too. The top ten secret guards are all in there, so they can exchange ideas with each other."
Venerable Fang said from the side, "Yiyi, you're really wrong. Although An Er and the others are inside, An Yi is still outside!"
Fengxi felt that the generous gift she had given to Venerable Fang was now worth at least half of its original value!
She didn't arrange for Venerable Fang to say that beforehand; it was entirely his lackey's talent!
Fengxi followed up on his words, saying, "Speaking of which, this An Yi is quite mysterious. I heard that no one has ever seen him. Commander Wan, you must have seen him, right?"
Commander Wan smiled wryly and said, "I've never seen him either. Let alone me, I've heard that even Shadow Lord doesn't know who this Dark One is."
It's estimated that only the Alliance Leader knows this within the entire Heavenly Palace Alliance.
Feng Xi's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice:
"Commander Wan, do you think Shadow Lord might actually be Dark One? He's the leader of the Shadow Guard, so wouldn't he be Dark One in name and in fact?"
Commander Wan was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter!
"You're quite imaginative, but I guarantee that Shadow Lord is definitely not Dark One!"
Because Shadow Lord had subtly inquired about whether I had any leads on Dark One.
Fengxi smiled and said, "Let's talk about whether it's possible that Shadow Lord is deliberately testing you."
Commander Wan shook his head: "That's impossible! If Shadow Lord is An Yi, he'll just admit it. What's there to hide?!"
He's already a Shadow Master, why would he care if others know he's Dark One? They're all from the Shadow Guard Camp anyway!
Fengxi was taken aback.
Commander Wan's words were a wake-up call.
Yup!
If Shadow Lord is Dark One, there's really no need for him to hide it.
The entire Shadow Guard Camp is the leader's weapon, why should he hide it?
Therefore, this Dark One is most likely not in the Shadow Guard Camp, but rather lurking in other departments of the Heavenly Alliance, or even in other sects.
That's a huge area!
Hard to do!
What's the difference between this and finding a needle in a haystack?!
Although her heart was in turmoil, her face showed admiration:
"Commander Wan, why don't you take charge of the Shadow Guard Camp on your own? You have a much more comprehensive and profound understanding of issues than I do. I didn't think that much about it!"
Luckily, we're all on the same side, so it's okay if I make a fool of myself; otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!
Commander Wan laughed heartily, his lips twitching with delight!
Venerable Fang secretly curled his lip. You think you're so great just because I said a few nice words to you? I really don't know how you became the commander of the Shadow Guard!
But that makes sense, no one can do anything about a freak like Liu Yiyi!
She turned the Wind and Fire Departments upside down. Except for Dark One, all the top ten Shadow Guards were locked in the Dark Chamber!
She's turned this Shadow Guard camp into a sieve!
After chatting for a few more minutes, Fengxi mentioned that she wanted to pay her respects to the Shadow Lord and asked Commander Wan to ask for his permission.
As a result, I was turned away again.
Although Yingzun put it rather euphemistically, saying he was too busy with other matters, he actually just didn't want to see her.
Fengxi had no choice but to ask Commander Wan to deliver the gifts he brought to Yingzun.
Of course, she also brought a gift for Commander Wan.
Commander Wan was overjoyed!
He knew Liu Yiyi wouldn't come empty-handed!
Unlike that old geezer Fang Chuan, who always comes empty-handed and then shows off a plate of pastries, isn't he afraid of stuffing himself to death!
After giving the gift, Fengxi seemed hesitant to speak.
"Yiyi, we're all family, so just tell me what's on your mind!"
"Commander Wan, I have a request that I find difficult to make, but it's not easy for me to ask."
Well, An Er and the others were implicated because of me, and there's nothing I can do to help them. Do you think I could go and see them?
If they're not comfortable accepting their belongings, I can at least say a few words to them.
Commander Wan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sending gifts is definitely out of the question, but exchanging a few words is acceptable, though I'll have to accompany you the whole time."
Fengxi was delighted: "Even if you didn't say so, I would still have asked you to come with me. I'm not familiar with the place, and I wouldn't dare to go alone."
Venerable Fang thought to himself, "You've emptied the warehouses of the Wind and Fire Departments. Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"
Why does this brat insist on going to see An Er and the others?
Is it really just an expression of apology?
Why does it seem like it's not that simple?
At this moment, inside the dark room, the 29 people sat in a row.
At first, Dark Five and Dark Six would argue a bit, but later they couldn't even be bothered to argue anymore.
The dark room was deathly silent.
Suddenly, a clear, crisp sound rang out.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother... tenth brother, your little sister has come to see you!"
