"Yin Long may go, he can represent me, and I trust him enough."
"I'd rather stay here and have some tea. After all, your master is highly respected, and I'm a junior; I'll be a bit nervous."
Just as Wan Mingxuan stood up, ready to lead everyone, Ye Zhenghao's voice slowly drifted over.
Previously, Ye Zhenghao and the other two had agreed that if they had the chance to meet the Tower Master, they must find a way to get rid of Wan Mingxuan.
Otherwise, with Wan Mingxuan around, they wouldn't be able to get the truth from the Tower Master.
Therefore, Ye Zhenghao said this.
It was simple: as of now, Wan Mingxuan wanted to form an alliance with the Liehuo Institute the most.
After all, in Wan Mingxuan's eyes, Yin Long and A Kun were just hermits. Although they had some abilities, their background could not compare with the Liehuo Institute.
So, Ye Zhenghao's request was just right.
If Wan Mingxuan accompanied Ye Cangtian to see the Tower Master, he would be left alone here, which was quite disrespectful.
Therefore, Wan Mingxuan would most likely choose to stay, allowing Ye Cangtian an opportunity to meet Feng Lingzi alone.
"I won't cause trouble either. It's nothing more than chatting with a senior and proving that the senior supports this matter. I'm not good at this kind of thing..."
A Kun, uncharacteristically, spoke up.
On the other side, hearing their words, Wan Mingxuan's brow furrowed.
Did these two have some conspiracy by staying behind?
But what could they do within the Swift Wind Tower?
Could it be that Yin Long had a purpose in seeing his master?
That was impossible!
Besides, even if they wanted to deal with him, the old man was threatened by him and would absolutely not dare to speak carelessly.
Moreover, the other party should have seen that he was in control and felt secure enough to let them meet, which showed that the old man was on his side!
In such a situation, what could the other party do by coming to him?
And the most important point, he had no enmity with them, so they had no reason to get involved in this mess!
Although he was somewhat confused, Wan Mingxuan quickly made a decision.
He looked at Wan Mingxuan, then smiled and said, "In that case, I'll stay with you and have some tea to discuss the details of the alliance. Also, I'll have someone take Yin Long to see my master. What do you think?"
Wan Mingxuan felt that since he couldn't figure out their intentions, he might as well stop thinking about it.
Anyway, whether it was his master's side or the Swift Wind Tower, it was all under his control. Even if the other party had any ideas, they couldn't make any waves!
So he still prioritized the alliance. If the other party made a move, he would counter it.
Of course, if the other party didn't make a move, that would be even better. They could directly discuss cooperation, which would be good for both of them.
"This... you're not personally inviting your master to come out of seclusion. Isn't that bad?" Wan Mingxuan asked hesitantly.
"It's fine, I believe my master will understand my actions."
Wan Mingxuan said. The other party clearly wanted to get rid of him, so he absolutely couldn't let them have their way.
As he spoke, Wan Mingxuan called for his subordinates and gave them all the instructions.
On the other side, seeing that Wan Mingxuan had already handed the matter over to others, Ye Zhenghao and the other two had nothing more to say.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian stood up and left the Swift Wind Tower with them.
...
The carriage traveled all the way and directly left Swift Wind City.
Ye Cangtian was not surprised by this. After all, whoever goes into seclusion would choose a secluded place to avoid being disturbed by others.
However, what Ye Cangtian did not expect was that it took them more than half a day to travel.
The place where the other party was in seclusion was in the mountains behind the Swift Wind Tower, a very hidden secret realm.
To put it bluntly, even if the place of seclusion was revealed to others, it would not be easy to find the other party accurately in these mountains.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but envy the Swift Wind Tower.
The Swift Wind Tower's location was truly excellent!
There were natural barriers like mountains in both the front and back, so no one would dare to attack it easily.
Before long, Ye Cangtian was led by a guard into the secret realm.
Inside the secret realm was a bamboo forest with only a small courtyard. Besides the wooden house, there were some flowers and plants, which looked fresh and elegant.
However, outside this small courtyard, there was a small formation used for early warning and isolation from the outside world.
"Tower Master, this subordinate has been ordered by Master Wan Mingxuan to bring Mr. Yin Long. Please, Tower Master, show yourself for a meeting!"
"Please forgive the interruption, Tower Master..."
When they reached the formation, the guard stopped and said loudly to the formation.
"I am currently in seclusion and cannot receive visitors. Please return."
The next moment, an ancient voice came through the formation.
The guard heard this and glanced at Ye Cangtian. Since the Tower Master had said so, if he insisted further, he would likely be punished.
So, his eyes flickered with helplessness, as if telling Ye Cangtian that he had tried his best.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian cupped his hands towards the formation and said, "Senior, I am Yin Long. I am here on behalf of Ye Zhenghao of the Liehuo Institute and A Kun to visit you. Please grant me an opportunity to meet you!"
As his voice fell, the guard's face revealed a sneer.
Even mentioning Wan Mingxuan didn't work. With just the unfamiliar names of these three, would the Tower Master meet them? This was simply a huge joke!
Just as he thought this, the guard was stunned on the spot.
"Since you represent the Liehuo Institute, I will meet you!"
As his voice fell, a gap appeared in the formation. Seeing this, Ye Cangtian walked in without hesitation.
The guard quickly followed. However, just as he was about to enter the gap in the formation, it closed on its own.
"Hmph! You guard outside and don't let anyone disturb us!"
Following this cold snort, the guard frowned but eventually calmed down.
Although Wan Mingxuan had told him to monitor everything, since the Tower Master had said so, he dared not force his way in. He could only wait outside.
As for Wan Mingxuan, he would simply tell him the truth.
After passing through the formation, he saw the small courtyard. In front of the wooden house in the courtyard stood an old man with an immortal demeanor.
This person was the Tower Master of the Swift Wind Tower, Feng Lingzi.
Ye Cangtian sized up Feng Lingzi. The other party's aura was completely restrained, and he couldn't discern anything.
The next moment, he slowly walked forward, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Junior Yin Long, greetings to Senior Feng Lingzi."
"Hmph!"
Feng Lingzi snorted coldly and said, "Young man, you come to see me but don't show your true face. This shows a lack of sincerity!"
"..."
As the voice fell, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but be stunned. He really hadn't expected Feng Lingzi to see through his disguise so easily.
After all, something like this had never happened before!
While surprised inwardly, Ye Cangtian showed a faint smile outwardly and said, "There are reasons for this, and I had no choice but to do so. I will explain later. Please forgive me, Senior."
Hmm?
Feng Lingzi's brow furrowed slightly. Seeing that the other party's attitude was quite good, he did not pursue the matter.
The next moment, he looked at the other party and said lightly, "You say you represent A Kun? May I ask who this A Kun you speak of is?"
With this question, Ye Cangtian's smile deepened.
He understood very well that the reason the other party agreed to meet him was likely because they had heard the name A Kun.
This was also what Yi Feipeng had told him before.
The name A Kun was used by Yi Feipeng when he first met Feng Lingzi, and he hadn't used it since.
Only Feng Lingzi in the entire Swift Wind Tower knew about it.
Therefore, if Feng Lingzi had any trouble, he would definitely not refuse to meet upon hearing this name.
With this in mind, Ye Cangtian looked at the other party and said, "That's right, I do represent A Kun, who is the Second Tower Master of the Swift Wind Tower, Yi Feipeng!"
Ye Cangtian did not hide this matter. With the formation's isolation and the guard's weak power, they should not be able to hear the conversation here.
Therefore, he did not have to worry about anything.
It's really Yi Feipeng!
Upon hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Feng Lingzi was slightly stunned, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
He quickly said, "In that case, shall we go inside and talk?"
As he spoke, Feng Lingzi made a gesture of invitation.
"I couldn't ask for more."
Saying that, Ye Cangtian did not stand on ceremony, walked directly into the wooden house, and then sat down.
