"Unlike ordinary people like us, Sir, he must have greater ambitions."
"These official positions in the Immortal Alliance that we covet may not be taken seriously by him."
"Although Sir, he hides it very well, but people who are really obsessed with power can see it at a glance."
Gao Yuan said slowly with a faint tone.
When He Zhenghao heard this, his face became solemn and he nodded in agreement.
"As far as I know, the secret envoy was actually forced to accept the position of acting island owner of Ten Thousand Immortals Island. Being ordered to rebuild the Immortal City was actually a last resort." Gao Yuan suddenly broke the news.
He Zhenghao was full of surprise and his eyes looked strange: "Is this happening?"
Gao Yuan nodded: "Although I don't know what's wrong with this, fortunately, the secret envoy finally completed this task."
"Incidentally, it also changed the fate of many of us."
"Although he now serves as the secret envoy and is in charge of the government affairs of Congyunhai state, I guess that maybe he has no interest in managing things personally."
"And I also think that with your talents, it would be a real waste if you waste your time on such mundane things."
"My lord, he has a bigger stage. As for these small things, naturally the people below will do it."
"My lord, what he needs is someone who can handle everything in an orderly manner when he is away, without him needing to care too much."
Gao Yuan analyzed it bit by bit.
"The two tasks he assigned us this time are just such a test."
"And that distracting jade slip is a trap."
"Once we lose control of the situation and reach the point where we need to ask the secret envoy for instructions..."
"Perhaps there will be no change in the position, but in his mind, we will definitely be labeled as incompetent from now on."
Gao Yuan said in a deep voice.
He Zhenghao was shocked: "Isn't that true?"
Gao Yuan snorted coldly: "I don't know, friend, have you ever noticed the way adults look at us?"
"What's wrong with the eyes?" He Zhenghao was a little confused and asked quickly.
"Although Sir, he seems to be kind to others on the surface, and sometimes he is even polite to the corporal. But in reality..."
A trace of panic flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes.
"The depth of his eyes is the same when he looks at all of us."
"That's like us immortal cultivators looking at mortal ants..."
"No, that's not right..." Gao Yuan shook his head and frowned, as if he was looking for a suitable word to describe it.
After a moment, he suddenly pointed to the tables and chairs in the conference hall and said solemnly: "That's right. In his eyes, all of us are like these, just simple tools."
"It seems that we are not on the same level of life. All of us, to him, are probably just mere tools..."
"When I was still standing guard at the gate of the Buzheng Hall, I had the honor to meet a Hedao monk. But even if it was Hedao Immortal Lord, the way he looked at me was not as indifferent as your Excellency..."
"I heard that your Excellency is a monk from the ancient Tianji Sect. He has fallen asleep for some reason, and his cultivation has also fallen to the Golden Core realm."
"Previously, there were rumors that my lord, his golden elixir, killed several Nascent Soul monks and joined forces."
"So, Sir, what kind of cultivation did he have during his heyday in ancient times?"
Gao Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
He Zhenghao couldn't help but shudder.
The meaning of Gao Yuan's words was already obvious.
He suspected that in ancient times, Li Fan was actually a monk in the immortal realm.
Because as we all know, once you step into the realm of immortality, you will achieve true transcendence.
The nature of life has also changed. Compared with monks in the realms of Hedao, Huashen, Nascent Soul, etc., it is no longer the same existence in the same sense.
Being able to ignore and treat all sentient beings in the world equally is probably only possible by those who are in the Immortality Realm.
Once you accept this point of view, you can combine it with all the shocking deeds of Li Fan in the past.
Everything suddenly seemed so reasonable again.
There are so many monks in the world who are proficient in the art of deduction, but I have never heard of anyone who can use it to make money with ease like Li Fan, and can easily double his assets.
If the art of deduction is really that magical, then I am afraid that not all monks in the world would be vying to learn it.
There is certainly a reason why the art of deduction has remained tepid for thousands of years.
With the greedy character of the monks, there is no reason not to take advantage of them.
Only the Changsheng Tianzun, who has mastered the art of deduction to the extreme, may be able to detect the future so easily.
Rumors circulated secretly in Cong Yunhai that Wanxian Island was suddenly blocked that year, and then the Wu Laohui raided and robbed the entire island.
All this is because of a certain prophecy.
As for this prophecy, although everyone says it was deduced by the famous Gongsun Qixuan.
But there are also rumors in private that Gongsun Qixuan was actually influenced by Li Fan's deduction technique.
Furthermore, if Li Fan was once the Immortal Lord, then he used the golden elixir cultivation to kill the Nascent Soul, and had a puppet with the divine transformation cultivation as a mount...
These are nothing anymore.
If you can't do these things, how can you still be called the Immortal Lord?
…
The meeting hall of the Bu Zhengtang fell into absolute silence for a moment.
There is a strange atmosphere brewing between He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this guess was reasonable and well-founded.
As a result, their bodies began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
One is because of the natural fear of those who are powerful in the Immortality Realm.
The second reason is because...
He was regarded as a confidant by an Immortal Lord.
Even if it's just temporary, on the surface...
This is also an absolute honor.
The thoughts in their hearts were ups and downs. The two of them thought a lot and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Finally, it was He Zhenghao who spoke up.
He cleared his throat and whispered: "Brother Gao, this matter is all your guess."
"It's better not to tell outsiders easily."
"As long as you know, I know."
Gao Yuan glanced at He Zhenghao and nodded slightly: "Of course I know about this."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
The two of them still had a simple line that they didn't say.
If Li Fan is really the Immortal Lord, then he is working for him now.
Once he recovers from his injuries and resumes his cultivation...
By then, their stage will no longer be this small sea of clouds nestled in a corner.
He Zhenghao even thought of his wife back then, and the flame of ambition that had been extinguished for a long time faintly rekindled in his eyes.

Deep inside the Bu Zhengtang.
Li Fan withdrew his attention and summoned a water mirror.
He touched his chin and looked at himself in the mirror.
