The President of the Arts Association, Li Zhengyi.
Who could have imagined that this old man was the greatest mole.
Xia Mingzhong looked at Li Zhengyi, his eyes complex, and after a long time, he slowly said, "I never thought you were the so-called Executive Director."
"I've had tea with you many times, and I never thought you were colluding with these people, nor did I expect you to be this kind of person."
Li Zhengyi sneered, "There are many things you haven't expected. You probably didn't expect that your seemingly harmless grandson would be the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia's three armies. You probably didn't expect that your grandson's wife would be a daughter of the Murong family.
Old fellow, in life, one either seeks fame or profit. When you can't earn much money at the middle level, but you also disdain small money, you'll know how difficult life is.
You, on the other hand, have always had a smooth sailing life. How can you understand the hardships of the world? I used to want to be like you, but I have a not-so-good family, a prodigal wife, and an unpromising son and grandson. What do you think I should do?
"Later, the Dark Hall approached me. After just two or three sentences, they gave me one word. When I saw that string of numbers lying in my bank card, I was stunned because it was a number I had never seen before!
From then on, I became the Executive Director of the Dark Hall and their agent in Chang'an. I'm not afraid to tell you, there are many people like me in Chang'an.
Do you know that there is a saying in the art world: 'One should be like Xia Mingzhong.' Do you know why? Because countless people want to be like you, want to have a smooth life, want to treat their hobbies as a career!"
Xia Mingzhong was also silent for a moment, then sighed, a look of helplessness appearing in his eyes.
"You only see my carefree side, but you don't see my unhappy side."
Li Zhengyi's art plan, everyone has times when they are unhappy, but compared to his entire life, Xia Mingzhong's life was too smooth.
Ye Longlin looked at him and shook his head slightly, "According to my personality, you would be dead by now. But considering your good personal relationship with my grandfather, tell me everything you know, and I'll spare your life. You'll spend the rest of your life in prison."
As soon as he finished speaking, a Holy Realm cultivation erupted. The familiar aura made Ye Longlin frown. He took a step forward, standing proudly in the sky.
"Myriad Red Lotuses."
With a delicate shout, red lotuses appeared in the sky. The myriad red lotuses, like falling leaves, slowly descended without any discernible trajectory.
"Red Lotus Demon Girl, you're seeking death!"
Ye Longlin rushed forward, and then a dark light enveloped Li Zhengyi.
"Ah—"
Li Zhengyi screamed. Ye Longlin frowned. Killing to silence was an attempt to prevent him from learning anything!
The Dark Hall is truly... formidable.
The man in the jacket looked at the Xia family with a sinister grin and charged at them.
Mu Ye snorted, "Do you really think your Dark Hall can act with impunity?"
He took a step forward, instantly forming a wall in front of him. Hei Bai Wu Chang and others, seeing this, also placed their hands on this transparent wall, strengthening its resistance.
The man in the jacket shook his head slightly, "You think this can stop my advance?"
He threw a punch, his fist carrying endless destructive power. With this punch, it seemed as if everything could be annihilated.
Boom!
The fist hit the wall, and the transparent wall, like glass, cracked inch by inch, instantly shattering.
"Pfft!"
Everyone behind the wall spurted blood, including Mu Ye.
He was now only at the peak of the Dao Realm. Facing an existence like Ba Shen Tian, he was no match. A simple punch from the other party had crippled so many of them!
Ye Longlin, looking down from the sky, his face instantly turned grim.
The Red Lotus Demon Girl took this opportunity, her delicate red lips parting slightly, "Explode!"
"Boom!"
Countless red lotuses self-destructed, generating a powerful thrust that sent Ye Longlin crashing to the ground. Then, he moved several times on the ground and appeared in front of the man in the jacket.
"Red Lotus, you did this on purpose!"
Seeing this, the man in the jacket roared in anger!
Seeing that he was about to capture Ye Longlin's family, Ye Longlin suddenly appeared in front of him. Instinctively backing away, he realized he had no chance to grab Ye Longlin's family anymore.
The Red Lotus Demon Girl landed slowly on the rooftop, standing barefoot.
She shrugged, saying helplessly, "What could I do? Ye Longlin got close. If I hadn't detonated them, you would have only seen my corpse. Besides, why aren't you faster yourself? I'm starting to suspect you're the mole. If it were me, that old man would already be in my grasp."
The man in the jacket's face darkened, and he didn't know who was the problem for a moment.
"Little Long brother, we meet again. Oh, little sister-in-law is here too. Hello, little sister-in-law. Do you want to lend little Long brother to sister for a couple of days? Let sister play with him for two days before returning him."
The Red Lotus Demon Girl giggled and said to Mu Hanqi.
Mu Hanqi saw her demeanor, and her eyes showed cold defiance, "My man is not for lending. Besides, I find you dirty."
The man in the jacket looked at the Red Lotus Demon Girl with a dark expression and whispered, "It's just him here alone. Today is a good opportunity to kill him. Should we kill him?"
As a sworn enemy of the Dark Hall, they definitely wanted to kill Ye Longlin, but they always missed their chance. Now, only he, a Holy Realm expert, was here, and they had two Holy Realm experts. The odds were greatly in their favor.
The Red Lotus Demon Girl shook her head slightly, her expression solemn, "No! Ye Longlin is too strange, or rather, too cunning. Every time we think we can kill him, he can summon a bunch of people, and all of them are Holy Realm experts."
"It seems to be the same this time. Think about it, Ye Longlin values loyalty and righteousness. Now that his family is all here, it's unrealistic to say that he doesn't have any backup plans. Besides, what if the Holy Realm experts he called aren't just these two? What if his backing, the Ye family, is here? Then we'd be finished.
Although I also want to kill him, it's definitely not possible at this moment. Besides, you've already done the most important thing, so there's no need to dwell on it."
