"As I said, it's just a discussion, not confirmed yet." Master Ban quickly emphasized again.

Tian Minghun waved his hand indifferently, "This is not important. What is important is that you must quickly solve my face problem."

"Hey..." Master Ban pinched his waist, took a breath, and wanted to talk to Tianming. After thinking about it, he felt that this was too stupid, so he simply pressed the Qinglong plan for the time being, took a half step back and responded:

"For the time being...I mean, assuming you will participate in the Qinglong Project, you don't need to increase your height? It's not convenient to do it yet."

"Before taking action, you don't need to meet the leaders of other forces. At most, you should show your face in front of our brothers from the Mo family."

"Then you have to pay attention to your appearance." Tianming argued for himself, "In front of the brothers of the Mo family, I have to maintain a dignified image."

"I think that will only make them unable to recognize you." Master Ben complained.

Almost every Mohist disciple knows that his tycoon is a teenage boy. If he suddenly grew taller, he would probably be shocked.

"Old man Ben, please help me, I really want to grow taller." After finishing all the lies, Tianming started to play the emotional card.

"I used to be unreliable, weak, and just a kid, so you couldn't trust me."

"But now I am reliable enough and my strength has improved dramatically. You still can't trust me. I think my height is a flaw."

"If I looked like an adult like you, wouldn't I continue to be mistrusted?"

Tian Ming's words of misfortune immediately moved Master Ban, and his newly raised suspicions were immediately dispelled.

"You..." Master Ben sighed softly and explained, "It's not that we don't trust you, we just want to protect you."

"To me, this means not trusting me and my ability." Tianming did not accept this so-called kindness.

"I don't understand. If according to your idea, I can only do it if I have to ensure safety, then shouldn't I give up and follow... and lead you to resist the empire?"

"This must be the most dangerous thing in the world, right?"

Master Ban was speechless for a moment due to Tianming's retort.

Ever since they embarked on the path of resisting the empire, death has actually been the last thing they feared and the last thing they should fear.

Ordinary Mohist disciples can be afraid of death because, like many people, they actually have no choice.

Resistance is their choice, but it is not their choice.

But senior executives like Master Ban are different. Everything is their subjective choice. Of course, they cannot be afraid of death.

If you are afraid of death, you shouldn't take this road. You can just hide and become a free man.

No matter how turbulent the world is and how harsh the government is, it will not affect people like them.

Their goodwill toward Tianming is essentially no different from the emperor's behavior of imposing one person's heart on the hearts of the world.

Master Ban didn't know how to respond to Tianming, but he still didn't want to put Tianming in danger...even if he knew it was inappropriate.

After struggling for a while, Master Ben returned to the topic of the height-increasing device:

"I will help you solve the problem of heightening as soon as possible."

Master Ban thought that if the matter of letting Tianming participate in the Qinglong Project ended up being nothing, it would give him some comfort.

As for the time required...there's always a squeeze.

After accepting this matter, Master Ban stopped talking to Tian Ming and ran away quickly.

If he continued talking to Tian Ming, Master Ban felt like he was going to be in trouble.

After he left, Tianming showed a satisfied smile.

This time he not only achieved his original goal - the height-increasing device, but also had an additional gain - the hope of participating in the Blue Dragon Project openly.

Compared to Master Ban, who was almost irritated by Tianming's accusation and the issue of the popularization of mechanism skills, he was so happy.

………………

Although he successfully deceived Master Ban, the height-increasing device Tianming needed was indeed a bit complicated, and Master Ban couldn't fix it in a day or two.

So for the time being, he can only provide support to his two friends, and cannot take action himself.

After several adventurous trips by Shao Yu and Shi Lan to board the ship, they found nothing, not to mention a lot of harvest.

On the one hand, time is limited, and on the other hand, they have no clue.

Although the three of them are much more familiar with mirages than the rest of the Mo family, but... that's it.

They also know very little about the real key points of the mirage.

The most familiar Yunxiao Pavilion is temporarily of no use due to reconstruction problems.

Other places... they don't know much about it.

Tianming actually asked them to pay extra attention to the situation of Toad Palace and Zibei Water Pavilion.

But nothing was gained.

The location of Toad Palace is special, and it is difficult for both Shao Yu and Shi Lan to get there within the limited time.

The two of them spent a lot of time wandering around the Zibei Water Pavilion, but unfortunately they couldn't get any clues.

"Our efforts have been in vain!"

In a remote corner outside the port, Tianming said to his two friends in frustration.

"This... harvest is indeed very small." Shao Yu reluctantly admitted his incompetence.

Shi Lan's face isn't very pretty either.

In terms of urgency, she is the most anxious among the three, and even Tianming cannot compare with her.

"I noticed that Yun Zhongjun appeared in the alchemy room, but he left quickly."

"It's always too late to follow him, but looking at his direction, he once went in the direction of Zibei Water Pavilion."

Shi Lan spoke in a deep voice about her only gain in the past few days.

It's valuable, but really not much.

"How to do this? It's not a problem to keep working in vain!"

Tianming spread his hands and asked for advice.

Shi Lan frowned and responded: "Perhaps... it's time to take a risk and track down Yun Zhongjun's specific whereabouts?"

"No!" Shao Yu hurriedly spoke to stop him, "Yun Zhongjun is already very powerful. It is very risky to follow him. If you extend the tracking time, if you cannot get off the ship in time, it will be too dangerous to be alone on the mirage!"

"You still have to think of other breakthroughs."

Tianming rolled his eyes at this time, and a thought suddenly occurred to him:

"I seem to have an idea."

"What the hell do you have in mind?"

Shao Yu's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.

Tianming has always been full of ideas, especially after coming down from the mirage.

"At present, it seems that we are unlikely to keep an eye on those Yin Yang family members in the mirage, so we have to change our thinking."

Shao Yu frowned, "You mean to use other targets as an entry point?"

"But is there anyone else on the mirage who can provide us with information?"

Tianming grinned, "Of course."

"Have you forgotten, Chitaki is also on the boat?"

"Qianlong?" Tianming's words stunned Shaoyu.

Tianming mentioned this matter more than once, but Shaoyu never thought that Qianlong could help them.

One is because Chitaki has never appeared, and they have not found any trace of her.

The second reason is that Chitaki’s status is really special.

As the daughter of a national master, it is difficult for Shaoyu to be optimistic about her position.

In comparison, Tianming trusts Qianlong more than Shaoyu.

Shao Yu had no objection to this.

He thought Chitaki would at least not trick them.

Shi Lan didn't know anything about Qianlong, so seeing that Tianming trusted him, he naturally wouldn't raise any questions.

But the most critical issue now is not Chitaki’s position, but... she can’t be found!

"Even if Chitaki is still on the ship, even if Chitaki can help us, we can't find her!"

Shaoyu spread his hands and responded helplessly.

They basically couldn't keep an eye on the senior officials of the Yin Yang Family, but at least they could still see a few of them.

Chitaki and the others have never met each other.

In response, Tianming waved his hand confidently and said:

"This is nothing!"
