“Cloud Leader, you are mistaken. This is the descendant of the great warrior Luo Lie. He will undoubtedly become a powerful figure, rivaling his father in the future.” Xu Dongyang glanced at Luo Tong, and said lightly, “Brother Yun, a large force like this naturally looks down on such matters. How about you let me take Luo Tong?”
“I cannot make that decision. Although this child is merely a lowly servant disciple, I cannot agree on his behalf, Xu Brother. You should ask him directly. If he agrees to follow you, then I, Yun Qing, will not obstruct it,” Yun Qing said as he took a sip from his wine cup.
“Oh? Then may I ask if this friend is willing to join my Eastern Sun Gang?” Xu Dongyang smiled and turned his gaze toward Luo Tong. The once-renowned Luo Lie had dominated the Sun Kingdom with his Eclipse Sun Sword and Earth-Level Martial Arts Eclipse Sun Sword Technique. Since Luo Tong possesses the Eclipse Sun Sword, he must also have the Eclipse Sun Sword Technique. If he could be brought under his wing, it would surely cultivate a powerful figure equal to himself in the future.
Luo Tong's expression shifted slightly, revealing a hint of anticipation in his eyes. In the Azure Cloud Gang, he was just a mere servant and faced various injustices. However, if he joined the Eastern Sun Gang, it would be different. Although Xu Dongyang had not made any promises, Luo Tong believed that since he had asked Yun Qing for him, joining the Eastern Sun Gang would certainly mean more than being just a servant.
“Xu Leader is asking you a question; you can choose your own path,” Yun Qing said calmly as he looked at Luo Tong, showing no change in his demeanor.
“I... I am willing,” Luo Tong replied. Although he felt intimidated by Yun Qing, the thought of the injustices he had suffered and being merely a servant despite his talents replaced his fear with resentment.
“Ha ha! Great! My Eastern Sun Gang will gain another talented disciple!” Xu Dongyang laughed heartily, pleased. Not only did this result in a loss for the Azure Cloud Gang, but it also allowed him to save face with Yun Qing, while simultaneously strengthening the Eastern Sun Gang.
“Congratulations, Xu Leader. My gang still has many servant disciples like this one. If you do not mind, feel free to choose more,” Yun Qing said with a smile, clearly implying that any talented disciples from the Eastern Sun Gang would only serve as servants in his gang. It was quite embarrassing for such an esteemed leader of the Eastern Sun Gang to be so pleased over just one servant.
“Ha ha! Brother Yun, you are too polite. One should be content; I am very satisfied to gain such a disciple this time. How could I dare to be greedy?” Xu Dongyang replied without any anger.
Yun Qing looked at Xu Dongyang, who was also laughing heartily. The two began drinking and chatting while Xing Chen quietly stood by, saying nothing throughout.
……
“Chen Er, I know your purpose for coming this time. The branch has been established; you need not worry. Now I have another task for you.” As dusk approached, Xu Dongyang left with Luo Tong. Following their departure, Yun Qing’s expression darkened, and he turned to look at Xing Chen, saying, “The people we sent to infiltrate the Eastern Sun Gang have gone missing recently. I suspect they were discovered by that rascal, Xu Dongyang, and subsequently eliminated.”
“This time, I send you to Dongyang City. I do not require you to do anything about the Eastern Sun Gang, but you must report their movements and latest intelligence back to our gang immediately.”
"Yes, Master, I will remember," Xing Chen nodded slightly. This mission was undoubtedly very dangerous, but it was also a test from Yun Qing for Xing Chen. Although Yun Qing believed that Xing Chen was the star mentioned in the Diviner's prophecy, necessary tests were still required. If Xing Chen couldn't even complete such a simple task, then even if he died, Yun Qing wouldn't feel any pain.
"Alright, pack your things and head out as soon as possible. The others participating in the Struggle for the Position of Leader will be going with you, so you can look out for each other," Yun Qing said before turning to leave the hall.
"With my Human Soul Realm cultivation, as long as I don't provoke the core members of the Eastern Sun Gang, I should be safe," Xing Chen thought to himself. He knew he had to be fully prepared for this trip to Dongyang City; otherwise, there would definitely be dangers.
Soon, Xing Chen arrived at the Azure Cloud Gang square, where eight figures were already waiting for him. These eight people were the ones participating in the Struggle for the Position of Leader, and they were all very strong, each capable of fighting above their level.
"Everyone, what are we supposed to do? I assume Master has already informed you," Xing Chen addressed those present.
"Young Master Chen, the leader has already passed on the message. This time we are going to Dongyang City. Just focus on monitoring the Eastern Sun Gang and don't worry about anything else," Xu Song, who had fought with Xing Chen before, spoke up.
"That's right, but we must not let our guard down during this trip to Dongyang City; otherwise, whether we can come back is a question," Xing Chen nodded and added, "Also, try to keep a low profile once we get there and avoid causing trouble; otherwise, we'll just be waiting to die."
"Understood, Young Master Chen," everyone replied in unison.
"Young Master Chen, when are we heading to Dongyang City?" asked Tang Yuqi, the only woman among them.
"Of course now. Do you all like walking at night like owls?" Xing Chen rolled his eyes; what kind of question was that? Any normal person wouldn't travel at night.
"Hehe, although we're not owls, we really want to set off right now!" Xu Song chuckled at Xing Chen's words and said, "I've heard that walking at night is dangerous; we just want to see how dangerous it really is."
"Exactly! We've always heard elite disciples talk about how dangerous it is outside at night; now we really want to see just how dangerous it is."
"Yeah! They say never travel at night or you'll encounter robbers. But I really don't believe anyone would dare rob our Azure Cloud Gang."
Listening to everyone's chatter, Xing Chen felt a headache coming on. What kind of people were these? Could they really be relied upon to get things done?
"You're not thinking that way, are you?" Xing Chen ignored the others and focused his gaze on the only woman in the crowd.
Tang Yuqi felt her cheeks flush under Xing Chen's gaze and quickly lowered her head, shyly saying, "I... I also want to see what dangers are out there!"
"I..." Xing Chen's mouth twitched slightly, almost cursing out loud. He finally understood what it meant to be a fearless young calf; although there might not be a tiger outside, the place they were heading to was definitely a tiger's den, and one careless move could lead to being devoured.
"Damn it, I'll listen to you this time. Let's go now." In the end, Xing Chen couldn't help but curse and then led everyone out of Azure Cloud City.
Dongyang City and Azure Cloud City were located in the south and north respectively. Azure Cloud City was at the easternmost part of the Sun Kingdom, while Dongyang City was at the westernmost part. Their journey truly spanned across the entire Sun Kingdom.
"By the way, how much do you know about the Eastern Sun Gang?" Xing Chen asked as they walked.
"We don't know much about the Eastern Sun Gang; only those Hall Masters, Helmsmen, and the gang leader really understand these matters," Xu Song, who had been following Xing Chen closely, replied.
"Not necessarily! As a Helmsman, I have no understanding of the Eastern Sun Gang at all!" Xing Chen said lightly while looking at the gradually setting sun.
"Uh..." Xu Song was speechless. Although Xing Chen was nominally a Helmsman, he hadn't even held a succession ceremony; how could he possibly understand these matters?
"Young Master Chen, since you're a Helmsman, how about making me your Vice Leader?" At this moment, Tang Yuqi smiled at Xing Chen. Through their interactions along the way, everyone realized that Xing Chen wasn't as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.
"Sure! However, there isn't currently a vacancy for Vice Leader. But there is a position that suits you perfectly and is definitely not below Vice Leader," Xing Chen nodded with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"What position is that? Is there a rank higher than Vice Leader under Helmsman?" Tang Yuqi blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at Xing Chen with some confusion.
"Of course there is." Xing Chen nodded seriously: "Although you can't be Vice Leader, you can be the Helmsman's wife! After all, that position is still vacant!" As soon as Xing Chen finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
"Haha, that position is indeed one rank higher than Vice Leader. I think it's very suitable for Sister Yuqi!"
"That's right, Junior Sister Tang, you should really think it over. The position of Helmsman's wife might not be available for long, so you need to seize the opportunity!"
"Yeah, yeah! It's a pity I'm not a woman; otherwise, I would go for that position myself."
"Even if you were a woman, Young Master Chen definitely wouldn't want you."
Everyone laughed and teased Tang Yuqi, whose pretty face turned bright red.
"Hmph, you all... you're just bullying me. Who would want to be Helmsman's wife!" Tang Yuqi huffed and then turned away.
"Junior Sister Yuqi is right; how could such a trivial position as Helmsman's wife possibly entice someone like her..." At this moment, Xu Song's voice rang out again.
"Exactly..." Seeing that someone finally spoke up for her, Tang Yuqi quickly agreed.
"At the very least, we should wait until Young Master Chen becomes the Hall Master. Only then could the Hall Master's wife possibly win over Junior Sister Yuqi!" As soon as Tang Yuqi finished speaking, Xu Song continued.
"Hahaha..." Upon hearing Xu Song's words, everyone burst into laughter again. Even Xing Chen showed a hint of a smile, while only Tang Yuqi was stomping her feet in frustration.
