Luo Qingyu’s expression shifted from one to another as he looked at Chu Tian with resentment.
“I want…”
“No way!”
Before Luo Qingyu could utter two words, Chu Tian cut him off with a firm refusal.
“I haven’t even said what I want yet…” Luo Qingyu glared at Chu Tian, his face contorted in displeasure.
Ma Deju couldn’t help but chuckle.
As Elder Mrs. Ma turned, he quickly covered his mouth.
The others looked on with confusion, including Elder Mrs. Ma.
What was Chu Tian trying to do? It felt like he was the one forcing the other party to press the detonator.
“Uh… my apologies, please continue!”
Chu Tian scratched his head, digging a piece of mud from his hair.
“Whew…”
Luo Qingyu took a deep breath. Chu Tian’s persistent actions had unsettled him.
After composing himself, he continued.
“I want you to sign this agreement…”
As he spoke, he pulled out a folder from his embrace with his left hand.
With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian caught it and threw it behind him.
It landed perfectly in front of Luo Luo.
She opened the folder and took out a stack of printed papers.
Upon seeing the words on the cover, she wore a strange expression.
Gao Kai and Zhao Lei also looked on, their faces blank.
They all stared blankly at those words.
Luo Luo hesitated for a moment before walking over to Chu Tian with the document.
“Haha… that’s it? So you’re just a dog for Huang Xueyi!”
Chu Tian burst into laughter without a second thought.
The cover of the document read: Tian Dao World, Ni Shen Alliance Guild, Transfer Agreement.
Upon seeing these words, Chu Tian understood the contents.
He also knew who this agreement was meant to be transferred to.
…
A thousand miles away, in Shengjing City.
Inside a lavishly decorated KTV, in a top-floor private room, three people were seated.
Two men and one woman, no one spoke.
After a while, the door to the private room was pushed open.
An elder, completely shrouded in a grey robe, entered. He was slightly hunched.
Upon seeing him enter, all three stood up.
“Master…”
The person who spoke, Chu Tian would have recognized him instantly if he were here.
This was the man he encountered when purchasing the virtual pod last time.
He was also one of the culprits behind Tao Jiayu’s murder, named Zhao Hai, known as Young Master Zhao.
The grey-robed elder’s hood shifted.
It seemed he nodded.
“This is Huang Xueyi, the eldest son of the Huang Corporation, whom I told you about!”
Zhao Hai introduced Huang Xueyi to the elder.
“Mm!”
The elder grunted.
He walked directly to the sofa in the room and sat down.
Huang Xueyi and Zhao Hai glanced at each other before returning to their seats.
The woman, however, walked out and soon returned with a variety of snacks.
Chu Tian also recognized this woman; it was his ex-girlfriend, Yu Xue!
According to the information found in Luoyicheng, Yu Xue had already been dumped by Huang Xueyi.
She had fallen to the point of loitering in entertainment venues.
This scene, however, now seemed to be a complete charade.
In fact, it was.
Previously, it was all put on for Luo Yicheng.
This was so Yu Xue could connect with Luo Qingyu.
As for whether there were any other intentions, it was impossible to say.
Chu Tian had met this grey-robed elder once before.
It was in Spring City, when Ma Deju followed Zhao Hai’s aura to that bathhouse.
But Ma Deju had said he couldn’t handle it and was preparing to retreat.
Chu Tian, not understanding, extended his divine sense to cover the entire bathhouse.
As a result, someone was startled and used a soul secret technique to control蠱虫 (gǔchóng - venomous insects) to attack Chu Tian.
The attacker was this old man.
However, by the time he appeared, Ma Deju had already fled with the unconscious Chu Tian.
It was also because of this encounter that Chu Tian poured all his soul power into condensing the Wrath of the Moon God in his mind.
Now, these four people gathering together undoubtedly had hidden motives.
…
In the Ma family’s small world, Luo Qingyu saw Chu Tian laughing.
He didn’t get angry even when Chu Tian cursed him.
Instead, he raised the detonator in his hand.
He smiled and said, “People have to live for themselves!
This is the last time I’ll be a dog!
Just a guild in a game!
Exchanging it for so many lives should be worth it!”
“Mm… you’re right!”
As he spoke, a pen appeared in Chu Tian’s hand.
He flipped open the agreement, not even looking at it.
He directly turned to the last page and signed “I am not a Druid!” in the signature area.
And then signed his name below.
With a flick of his hand, he tossed it back to Luo Qingyu!
At that moment, Luo Luo, Gao Kai, Zhao Lei, Jing Kaiyu, and Qi Xi.
Their faces were filled with grief. They knew that the Ni Shen Alliance was Chu Tian’s hard work.
It was also what they had built up together.
Seeing Chu Tian sign his name, they all displayed a look of unwillingness.
“Alright, you can get lost now!” Chu Tian’s expression was somewhat grim.
“Haha… do you think I’m stupid? I’ll wait for the Tian Dao World to open. Once you’ve completed the transfer of the Ni Shen Alliance, I’ll leave!”
After receiving the document, Luo Qingyu glanced at it, tucked it into his embrace, and his face showed excitement.
“That’s fine too… By the way… I wanted to ask, how much ‘life-buying money’ did Huang Xueyi give you for you to bring out such a show?”
Chu Tian’s tone shifted, as if they were just making small talk.
“A price you can’t afford!”
He didn’t state the amount, just uttered this sentence casually.
“I can’t afford it? You actually say I can’t afford it… Then look at what this is?”
Chu Tian waved his hand, and a huge, transparent object, about 20 cubic meters stacked together, appeared.
It emitted a dazzling radiance…
Each of these transparent objects was perfectly square, neither too big nor too small, exactly one cubic meter in volume.
The appearance of this item startled everyone.
Luo Qingyu’s eyes squinted from the dazzling light.
Everyone simultaneously had the same thought.
Ice?
Then, upon closer inspection, it wasn’t ice.
Could it be crystal?
No…
“Holy crap, it wouldn’t be diamonds, would it!” Jing Kaiyu exclaimed.
Chu Tian was about to turn and give him a thumbs-up.
Indeed, it had to be someone who had been married and bought a diamond ring, to have such good discernment.
“Are you an idiot? Have you ever seen a diamond that’s one cubic meter per piece?”
Before Chu Tian could turn, Zhao Lei added a remark beside him.
“That’s true too…”
Jing Kaiyu also immediately negated his own thought.
Chu Tian, who was halfway through turning, almost strained his lower back.
“Hmph… bringing out a pile of broken glass, are you insulting my intelligence?”
Luo Qingyu’s voice came at this moment as well.
Chu Tian was momentarily speechless. He really wanted to say, this is…
Could it be that you robbed the US treasury?
If this were really gold, I’d stand on my head and eat shit…”
He muttered softly, but everyone present was not weak.
They all heard this remark.
“I think your ‘standing on your head and eating shit’ might actually… come true!”
Gao Kai opportunely added a comment beside him.
Zhao Lei blinked, and following Gao Kai’s gaze.
Instantly, he felt the urge to slap himself several times.
