150: Chapter 150 Like-minded

Li Youming narrowed his eyes.

He carefully sized up Master Tianjizi, who had already stepped aside below.

He looked at this Sect Leader of the Tianji Sect.

At this moment, he was standing obediently to the side with lowered eyes and a submissive expression, looking completely terrified yet deeply grateful.

However...

Li Youming noticed something.

The corners of the other man's eyes were still twitching upward ever so slightly.

The corners of his mouth were trembling faintly.

That wasn't fear.

That was... an effort to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Suppressing the smugness that comes after "clinging to a powerful thigh"!

He was all too familiar with such an expression; wasn't this exactly how he often looked?

At that thought...

Li Youming's pupils suddenly constricted!

He understood!

He finally understood where that sense of crisis came from!

This motherfucker...

...is a kindred spirit!

Moreover...

Based on what the man had just said, it wasn't hard to see that his level of shamelessness and his ability to sail with the wind...

...were not inferior to Li Youming's in the slightest...

In fact...

...he might even be superior!

A fine layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Youming's forehead.

He felt as if he were looking at a formidable opponent!

An opponent who could threaten his status as the "Imperial Dynasty's number one surrendered general"!

One must know...

It hadn't been easy for Li Youming to make a name for himself within the Divine Martial Guard; he couldn't let someone else ruin it.

Of course...

Most importantly!

He considered himself to have quite a bit of experience in the field of "shamelessness."

But this old thing before him...

That fawning energy, that low-profile piety, that composure of "I'm just here to cling to a powerful thigh"...

It was simply at the level of a Grandmaster!

"This won't do."

Alarm bells rang in Li Youming's heart.

"I absolutely cannot let this old thing steal my thunder!"

"I must find a way to suppress him!"

Just then...

Master Tianjizi also sensed Li Youming's gaze. After all, he was a being of the Unity Realm, and Li Youming's gaze was completely undisguised and unscrupulous.

Therefore...

It naturally couldn't be hidden from him. Master Tianjizi merely glanced sideways and happened to meet Li Youming's eyes.

The moment their eyes met...

The corners of Master Tianjizi's eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly.

What did he see?

He saw a familiar gaze, as if he were looking into a mirror!

The scrutiny in that gaze.

The wariness in those eyes.

That faint, almost imperceptible twitch at the corner of the mouth...

Wasn't this exactly how he himself looked when observing others?

"Hiss—"

Master Tianjizi sucked in a breath of cold air, and alarm bells instantly rang in his heart!

A kindred spirit!

This is definitely a motherfucking kindred spirit!

Moreover...

Looking at the man's position—

He was actually standing behind The Five Great Dharma Kings. He was clearly an insider of the Divine Martial Guard, and his status within the guard probably wasn't low!

This is...

...a motherfucking local snake!

Master Tianjizi's brain whirred at high speed, instantly analyzing the situation.

Although he was the first to come and submit, and his performance was sufficiently pious, he was still a newcomer, unfamiliar with the people and the place.

But the other guy?

He had already established a firm foothold in the Divine Martial Guard; he could be considered a genuine "Senior"!

If he offended such a person, his future days would likely be difficult...

However!

If he could get on good terms with such a person, wouldn't he be like a fish in water, a tiger with wings?

At that thought...

A burning light instantly erupted in Master Tianjizi's eyes!

He narrowed his eyes slightly and gave Li Youming a meaningful smile.

In that smile...

...there was ingratiation, there was testing, and there was even a hint of...

...a "Brother, I'm one of you" suggestion.

When Li Youming saw Master Tianjizi's lewd smile, he felt completely unwell.

This old thing...

Is he throwing bedroom eyes at me?

You're a motherfucking old geezer, not a young lady. Aren't you disgusted with yourself...

Just as he was about to look away and pretend he hadn't seen anything, he noticed Master Tianjizi's eyes began to blink frantically.

Three blinks with the left eye.

Two blinks with the right eye.

Then two blinks with the left, three with the right...

Li Youming was stunned.

What kind of secret code is this?

Could it be the exclusive secret language of the Tianji Sect?

He frowned deeply, thinking hard, but found he couldn't understand it at all.

After all, they didn't go to the same school; it was normal not to understand!

However...

When Master Tianjizi saw Li Youming's bewildered expression, he was so anxious he almost jumped up.

He took a deep breath.

He seriously adjusted his expression and then—began to "speak" with his eyes.

First, he pointed at himself with his eyes and held up one finger, meaning "I'm the first one here."

Next...

He pointed at Li Youming with his eyes and held up two fingers, meaning "You're a veteran here."

Finally...

He pointed between the two of them with his eyes and made a hand-shaking motion with his hands, meaning "Let's cooperate."

Li Youming watched Master Tianjizi's eyes spinning frantically like he was having a seizure, and he was completely baffled.

Is this old thing's... eye cramping?

But soon...

...he realized.

Is he... communicating with me through his eyes?

He carefully mulled over Master Tianjizi's "triple eye-strike" and suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

"Are you saying... we should cooperate?"

He used his own eyes to convey the same meaning.

When Master Tianjizi saw that Li Youming finally understood, he was so moved he almost burst into tears on the spot!

He hurriedly nodded frantically with his eyes—

Although eyes can't nod, he tried his best to move his eyeballs up and down, making it look like he was nodding.

Li Youming's mouth twitched.

This old thing... really has some tricks up his sleeve!

After pondering for a moment...

...he began to respond with his eyes.

"You're just a greenhorn who just arrived, while I'm already a veteran in the Divine Martial Guard. Logically, you should listen to me!"

Seeing this look, Master Tianjizi couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You little brat, you want to ride on this old man's head?"

But his face remained smiling as his eyes conveyed...

"Of course, of course. You are the Senior, and this Junior will naturally follow your lead."

"However... although this Junior has just arrived, I am still a being of the Unity Realm. If there's ever a place where I can be of use, just say the word!"

Li Youming's heart skipped a beat when he saw this look.

Unity Realm?

This old thing is in the Unity Realm?

Only then did he remember that when Master Tianjizi was bowing earlier, he was so focused on the man's fawning attitude that he had actually forgotten to check his cultivation level!

The Unity Realm...

He, Li Youming, was only in the Cave Heaven Realm even now.

If he could get the support of a Unity Realm powerhouse, wouldn't his status in the Divine Martial Guard be even more secure?

At this thought...

...his gaze instantly became fervent.

"Senior, you're too polite! What's with this 'Senior' and 'Junior' talk? We both serve the Imperial Dynasty; we're brothers!"

Seeing this look, Master Tianjizi felt greatly relieved.

It's done!

Across a distance of dozens of yards, the two completed this "Soul communication" using only their eyes.

Finally...

The two even nodded slightly at the same time, a smile flashing in their eyes that only the other could understand.

It was the tacit understanding of an "alliance formed."

It was the agreement to "hang out together from now on."

Upon the high platform...

Ge Nie continued to rest with his eyes closed, completely unaware of all this—

Or rather, even if he did notice, he couldn't be bothered to care.

Ye Tian, however, glanced at Li Youming.

Then he glanced at Master Tianjizi, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a faint smile.

Interesting.

These two shameless people actually ended up together...

The future Divine Martial Guard...

...might become even more lively!
