Although Zhong Ling does not believe him 100% now, he will at least not be suspicious and seek opportunities to test himself all day long.

Zhong Ling would not stand by and watch this decision that concerns the safety of the entire Canglang Palace.

But before Zhong Ling could speak, Zhong Yu curled his lips with some displeasure.

"Brother No. 1, it's useless to ask her. This dull man is the least talkative..."

Zhong Ling glared at Zhong Yu coldly when he heard this, and then spoke.

"Brother No. 1, if you don't attend the meeting organized by the Imperial Army of Thorns this time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction from the Wuji Martial Arts Association."

"They have sent people and funds here. If we don't do it, it will be equivalent to breach of contract, and they have more reason to attack."

"Haha... you're so light!" Zhong Yu rolled his eyes, "What do you mean is to ask the first brother to assassinate the Thorn Emperor directly when attending the meeting? Do you know how dangerous this is? If we don't do our lives well, we have to explain it there!"

"Now our Canglang store is full of internal and external troubles. The number one brother can use not many people. Like those cunning guys like Zhou Laosi, they won't rush to the forefront even if they have anything to do."

"Do you still want to use these few people to destroy them in one fell swoop on the thorny territory and hurt them severely?"

Zhong Ling ignored Zhong Yu's aggressiveness and said calmly to Xu Tian.

"Brother No. 1, I'm not asking you to assassinate the Thorn Emperor directly at the meeting and fight with them. At that time, our manpower doesn't need to make any sudden attacks."

"What do you think if you don't do it?" Zhong Yu didn't know what was wrong today. He seemed to dislike Zhong Ling. Every time Zhong Ling said something, the little girl would argue.

"Zhong Yu, let her finish the words first." Xu Tian glanced at Zhong Yu with a warning.

"Okay..." Zhong Yu could only shut up in disappointment.

"There is no need to start a war directly. At that time, you only need to reject any proposals from Emperor Thorns, express our position as a Canglang Palace. We will never pay the membership fee, and we will not cooperate with Thorns."

Zhong Ling's analysis is clear and organized.

"In this way, even if we don't take action, we can still refuse the time is not right."

"Anyway, we have shown our attitude that we will not become thorny allies, nor will we be willing to surrender to them. In this way, countless associations in the world have nothing to say."

"Not bad!" Xu Tian glanced at Zhong Ling with praise.

This girl is indeed more mature and stable than Zhong Yu.

Her proposal is mostly in line with his current judgment on the situation.

As long as he disobeys the arrangements of Emperor Thorns at the meeting, even if he only quarrels and does not take action, the Wuji Martial Arts Association has no reason to accuse him of violating the agreement.

After all, the timing of taking action is a very illusory thing. As long as Xu Tian said he was not ready, then if the Wuji Martial Arts Association forces them to take action, it would be like letting them die.

At that time, Xu Tian could even stand on the commanding heights of morality and make the old guys of the Wuji Martial Arts Association speechless.

"Brother, I know these things too, but Zhong Ling took the lead." Zhong Yu curled his lips aggrievedly.

"Okay, okay, you know too." Xu Tian looked at the angry little girl with some amusement: "Didn't you say that you have grown up, why are you still so childish?"

"How come I am childish? It's better than the tiger aunt Zhong Ling who pretends to be deep, right?" Zhong Yu hid beside Xu Tian and made a face at Zhong Ling.

Who made Zhong Ling suspicious? Even the identity of the No. 1 brother is doubtful.

She just disliked this woman!

"Okay, don't argue. I'm going to attend the meeting organized by Emperor Thorns, so you can prepare too." Xu Tian said.

Now, he cannot act rashly, he can only wait until the shadow's power grows before making plans.

...

Wuji Island, Kuncheng.

The shadow stronghold is set up in a single-family villa.

This villa was originally used by the owner and did not intend to be sold. However, after A Biao looked at several villas in succession, he felt that this house was the most suitable for their headquarters.

Therefore, he was a member of the Canglang Palace and negotiated with the villa owner in consultation with the villa owner to buy the house.

Finally, I calculated that the total price was even lower than the average housing price in Kuncheng.

After establishing the stronghold, all the people recruited by Wuqing and others were placed in the villa.

This villa is located in the north of the city, far from the city center, and the environment is quiet and elegant. The villa is surrounded by large patches of lush green bamboos, which makes it feel like it is hidden in the city.

A young woman in a bohemian dress walked to the door of the villa and rang the doorbell.

"Is anyone here?"

No one answered in the villa.

"Is there anyone?" The young woman rang the doorbell again. This time she kept holding the button tightly, and there was no plan to let go if anyone answered.

The harsh doorbell sounded a little abrupt in the quiet environment. It took five minutes before someone came out of it.

"Stop pressing!" The person who came out was a scar-faced man. His name was Hu Chengfeng. He was one of the first experts to recruit in vain. His strength was the strongest among those people. "I disturbed the people early in the morning. Do you want to die?"

Hu Chengfeng came out of the villa cursingly, walked to the gate, and looked out through the iron gate. When he saw the young woman, he looked a little surprised.

In such a remote place, a beautiful woman with a strange dress appeared, which was indeed a bit strange.

Hu Chengfeng had a strong concentration. After seeing the person coming, he was a little lost. He quickly reacted and shouted with a cold face.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Are you a shadow stronghold?" the young woman asked with a smile, fiddling with her long waist-length hair.

Hu Chengfeng frowned when he heard this and asked with some vigilance: "Who are you? How do you know this is the base of Shadow?"

"Don't be nervous... I have no malice..." The young woman waved her hand, "I heard from my friend, and he also said you are recruiting people here..."

"That's it..." Hu Chengfeng's face relaxed a little.

Their Shadows are indeed recruiting talents on a large scale recently. If someone wants to introduce a friend to join, it is no problem to tell the other party their address.

"It is not easy to join us. We only have strong people, and ordinary people without talent cannot pass our assessment at all." Hu Chengfeng looked up and down at the young woman in front of him. The aura emitted by this woman was very peaceful and without threat. If she was not an ordinary person, she would be a master.

"You are really recruiting people." The young woman whispered clearly when she heard this, "I understand."

"What do you mean?" Hu Chengfeng was slightly stunned.

"It's nothing. I just confirm whether the shadow's stronghold is here. If there is nothing to do, I'll leave first." As he said that, the woman waved her hand at Hu Chengfeng, turned around and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
