477: Chapter 478 Are you sick, benefactor?

"Oh, brother, look at you, being so polite again, aren't you?"

"Alright, alright, next time you come to Jiangzhou, I'll treat you to a meal. I'll bring our big nephew then, and we can have a good get-together. It's been a while since we last met."

"Alright, alright, haha, yes, good, mm..."

"Beep—."

Accompanied by the sound of the call hanging up, Qian Santong turned around and gestured with a smile.

"Lord, it's done."

Zhou Yan was already dumbfounded at this point.

Just now, he had left the main city to look up information about the School of Life, and only returned to find Qian Santong after he had a good idea of it.

Zhou Yan originally thought it would take a long time, but the other party took out his phone and solved the matter in just a few sentences.

Even if it weren't for the delay in communication between the main city and the outside world, the other party might have solved it even faster.

To the point where Zhou Yan wasn't sure if Qian Santong was chatting with a Void Refining expert or a childhood friend.

"Wait, it's solved just like that?"

Seeing Zhou Yan like this, Qian Santong also explained respectfully.

"It's not difficult. With Minister Wu's strength, a round trip to the Desire Realm is just a moment's work."

"As long as the other party brings a Puppet or something similar and travels through special channels, then Lord, you just need to personally confirm it over there."

"It's much easier than helping Fellow Daoist Yuan and the others smuggle across. After all, Lord, you not only have a legal identity in the Desire Realm, but your status is also quite high."

Zhou Yan interrupted him and said.

"No, I mean, how did you establish this kind of connection? Are you sure there are no hidden risks?"

Although he had heard a general overview from Qingxuan, Zhou Yan still found it hard to believe that Qian Santong could truly win the other party over.

After all, in the eyes of those old Void Refining monsters, everything was unpredictable. He didn't want any accidents to happen—where others were fine, but when it came to him, he'd crash because of bad luck or the other party suddenly turning traitor.

Qian Santong also saw Zhou Yan's concern, so he began to explain.

"Senior Qing must have already told Lord the general idea, so I won't repeat it too much, I'll just add some details."

Speaking of this, the corners of Qian Santong's mouth couldn't help but curl up, and his face tilted up forty-five degrees, as if he were suppressing a smile.

"Actually, after Lord took me in, with Lord's status as the Imperial Preceptor as an endorsement, my treatment inside underwent a world-shaking reversal."

"Although I'm usually still locked in the Small World, I can still contact the outside more or less."

"In this way, everyone knows I'll be released sooner or later, which actually further solidified my identity as a Disciple of the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven."

"After all, when I was sentenced, the Great Yu was in chaos. Many people speculated that I might have hidden away specifically to avoid suspicion, so many people didn't believe the information that was reported up."

"I took this Opportunity to start a partnership with Hui Butan's subordinate, the current Jiangzhou Agent. I must say, Lord, you have a Wisdom Eye for talent; a casual move of yours can trigger countless Opportunities."

"Jiangzhou has also flourished because of Lord's chamber of commerce. Relying on my relationship with Lord and some powers in the court that I can still mobilize, my relationship with the Lianxing Pavilion naturally became better and better."

"Originally, I didn't have the ability to reach that level, but by a stroke of luck, the Fifth Elder descended from the mountain again three years ago. While passing through the Great Yu, he happened to hear about my case, so he took an interest, met me once, and conveniently took me in as a Named Disciple."

"Because of this, my identity was completely solidified."

"I had already failed once because of the fake identity, so even if it could still have some effect, I wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

"But with the Fifth Elder's affirmation, I naturally have nothing to fear."

"Relying on Lord's background as a Saint, the Fifth Elder's background as an Elder, and the Taiyi God background publicized to the outside world, I finally successfully contacted the headquarters of the Lianxing Pavilion. I became very close friends with Minister Wu's nephew and helped him with many things. Because there's a lot of interest involved, I naturally got on Minister Wu's line."

"If other relationships might break, our relationship is incredibly stable."

"After all, we're too involved in both legitimate and illegitimate matters, and he is one of the few people in the Lianxing Pavilion who values friendship and loyalty."

"So, whether in terms of interest or emotion, our relationship is stable enough."

"Therefore, such a small matter is just a matter of a few words. Lord doesn't need to worry."

Zhou Yan swallowed his saliva after hearing this.

To this, he had no better evaluation other than '666'.

Seeing that Qian Santong seemed quite busy, he didn't want to continue delaying him and let him go back to work.

However, afterward, he discussed with Qingxuan about potentially increasing the proportion of Power Of Faith to help him improve his cultivation.

But unexpectedly, Qingxuan had already done so; it had given its own proportion of Power Of Faith to Qian Santong long ago.

Mainly because the Power Of Faith was no longer useful to it, so it naturally used it to win people's hearts.

But Qingxuan stated that Zhou Yan didn't need to worry about anything.

After all, Qian Santong could now be considered Zhou Yan's Junior Brother. With his capability, he might even become part of the core staff of the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven in the future.

And even if he really wanted to switch jobs, it would be to the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven, which meant he would still be working under Zhou Yan. There was nothing to worry about.

Thus, Zhou Yan looked at the record in his hand and fell into deep thought again.

"I've really been a shut-in for too long and almost forgot my own status. I truly didn't expect that power could be monetized like this."

To this, Zhou Yan could only say that he still couldn't outplay those officials at this game. At the same time, he confirmed that Qian Santong was truly quite professional.

Having done all this, both the identity issue and the future concerns were resolved.

Zhou Yan slumped in the luxury suite he had rented, looking at the information in his hand and the communication records sent by King Dong.

"How is it really King Dong? I thought netizens were just making memes. By the way, why am I Ming Wang? Won't Ming Wang Kong Xuan really carry some heavy Karma?"

"And why is this School of Life so weak? Besides one Body Integration Stage, there are only a dozen or so Soul Transformation ants left. Is it really not just a Life Club?"

If King Dong heard Zhou Yan's words, he might disregard his schemes and strangle this culprit to death.

But the culprit himself was completely unaware.

On this side, Zhou Yan was learning about King Dong's information, intending to be better prepared for their future meeting.

Meanwhile, on an ice lake far away in the Southern Desert, a handsome white-robed monk with bright eyes and white teeth was sitting opposite a classic-style handsome man in a black brocade robe.

Outside the lake was Lu Ren, who was pacing back and forth, fearing that something might happen to the monk.

"How can this Fellow Daoist Long Tianxing be so unreasonable? Even though I clearly said the Buddha's Son doesn't want to see him, he still pesters him until now. Is this the quality of the people from the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven?"

Lu Ren's words were not shielded by sound transmission, so the classic gentleman sitting opposite the monk could also hear them.

But he didn't care at all.

"Lv Yang, things have come to this point, are you still not going to tell me?"

Since Long Tianxing learned that Wang Yao was fine, he rushed to the Tingxue Zen Monastery overnight to find this far-famed Buddha's Son, wanting to ask him the things he wanted to know.

But the other party insisted that he was waiting for Zhou Yan, which he couldn't accept.

Setting aside that a large part of his purpose for coming was for Zhou Yan, as Zhou Yan's greatest rival, heart-to-heart comrade-in-arms, and one of the Twin Stars of the Qingxu Grotto-Heaven, what was there that he couldn't know?"

Therefore, Long Tianxing pestered Lv Yang and wouldn't stop until he reached his goal.

Originally, the people of the Tingxue Zen Monastery were very polite about it. But when the other party started stealing Lv Yang's vegetarian meals and peeping at Lv Yang in the restroom, it was truly too much.

So the Tingxue Zen Monastery decided to kick him out and forbid him from entering their territory.

Unfortunately, they underestimated the weight of a Child of Destiny.

The other party was like he had a cheat code. Whenever Lv Yang thought the other party had been driven away, he would always randomly refresh around him in various bizarre ways.

Until now, they had just driven Long Tianxing away, and Lv Yang finally had some free time to sneak to the ice lake on the back mountain to eat, only for Long Tianxing to turn into Lu Ren's appearance and sneak in.

Now, right in front of his face, he was frantically grabbing his vegetarian dishes.

Finally, Lv Yang's slightly narrowed eyes opened a bit, and with his mouth twitching slightly, he put down his chopsticks and said to Long Tianxing.

"Benefactor, are you ill?"

"I f—... mgh!"

Just as Lv Yang opened his mouth, Long Tianxing, as if he had predicted it, directly stuffed a cucumber into Lv Yang's mouth, blocking it.

Lv Yang, this mortal body, started gagging on the spot.

This scene also made Lu Ren outside the ice lake burst into tears. "Has A generation's holy monk fallen into the hands of this scoundrel Long Tianxing like this?"

Seeing his idol reduced to such a state, while he could only watch from the edge of the ice lake, completely unable to get close to the barrier in front of him, Lu Ren instantly felt that life was hopeless.
