Sun Yu was not familiar with Jiang Ling. After all, Jiang Ling used to be from the Jiang Principality and had only recently defected to the Sun family.

Moreover, Jiang Ling is a very low-key person and is rarely seen.

Also, Jiang Ling is in the scout camp. The people in this camp are much more mysterious than others. Sun Yu has never come into contact with anyone in this camp.

So, this was actually the first time Sun Yu met Jiang Ling in person.

But I have heard of this person.

Jiang Ling’s defection was a major turning point in the last martial arts exercise between the two places.

Sun Yu's father, Sun Guogong, mentioned Jiang Ling's name several times when chatting with him.

Soon after, the Jiang clan was wiped out. When Duke Sun talked about it, he not only sighed but also couldn't help mentioning Jiang Ling's name.

Some time ago, Jiang Jie died for his country, and Jiang Ling's name was mentioned several times, saying that he was the last of the Jiang family.

I have heard it so many times that it feels very familiar, but in fact I have never seen it, let alone spoken to it.

This is my first time seeing you, but I have a good impression of you.

'This is a very capable man.'

Thinking about this, the conversation between the three of them has come to an end.

"Okay, since the Lin family wants it so badly, we can't fall behind. Military Advisor, contact them and see if we can get the Corpse-Eating Demon Tree."

"Understood, my lord."

After the two left, Duke Sun thought for a moment and said, "Lin Yu and Jin Chen are about your age. If they hadn't become Tiandao mercenaries, they would have died as losers long ago! But now, they are very outstanding and can already stand on their own. Life is so unpredictable!"

Sun Yu suddenly asked: "Father, can I contact them?"

Duke Sun glanced at Sun Yu and said, "Go if you want. But you may not be able to reach the same close relationship with them as they do."

"Why?"

"Because you are not a Tiandao mercenary. You are not from their circle."

"I understand, Father."

Hearing Sun Yu's deep voice, Duke Sun did not discourage him. Instead, he encouraged him, "Don't worry. If you want to make friends with them, go ahead. Even if it's just ordinary friends, it's a good thing. Get in touch with them, understand them, analyze them. One day you will use this information."

"Thanks to my father's teaching, I now understand what to do."

…

Jin Chen did not go back that day, but stayed in the mountain city like Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, what are you doing? For something like the Corpse-Eating Demonic Tree, couldn't you just ask directly through the system communication? Why did you ask in public in the parliament hall? What are your intentions? Tell me!"

When Jin Chen returned home, he felt something was not right, so he sent a message to Song Yuan, asking him to relay the message to Wu Zheng and inquire about the reason.

Wu Zheng replied, using Song Yuan's system function, "The Corpse-Eating Demonic Tree isn't the issue. He must have some ulterior motive. The key lies in the moment he asks! You were able to avoid answering right then and there. Excellent! You did the right thing! Go question him directly now, and perhaps you'll get the answer."

So Jin Chen ran to Lin Yu and questioned him.

Lin Yu comforted Jin Chen and replied with a smile, "I didn't expect you to react so quickly. By the way, have you added the two people from the Sun family?"

"Added, what's wrong? Is it related to them?"

Jin Chen reacted quickly.

It's really possible that it has something to do with them.

Lin Yu explained, "The Corpse-Eating Demon Tree is a quest reward that the system must issue to the War Lieutenant. The two of them already had it, but they didn't dare to use it. So, when they saw me, they asked me for help through the system communication. You know, their situation is different from ours. They are just thugs in the ceremony, and no one cares about their advice in this regard. But there are several good quests behind this Corpse-Eating Demon Tree, so they have no choice but to come to me for help."

"I'm speechless. It's just a small matter, but you've taken such a big detour, is it really that serious?"

Lin Yu shook his head. Jin Chen had had a very smooth life and didn't understand anything about the power field.

They themselves told the military advisor and the lord that they were afraid they were being used and that he would not end up well.

However, if they ask for it themselves, they can take the initiative and complete the system tasks better.

When Lin Yu and the other four were under Jiang Jie's command, they had to follow Jiang Jie before doing their own tasks. They were controlled by others and had no choice!

They came to Lin Yu for help. Lin Yu felt sympathy for them and thought that this was a piece of cake for him, just a matter of asking for help. It was not a big deal, so he helped.

But you can gain the favor of two Tiandao mercenaries, so why not do it?

He pulled Jin Chen along, thinking that it was a favor to do. It made no difference whether it was one person or two people, and it would be more natural with two people, so he just did it.

"They saw me at the time and suddenly thought of this matter. I thought it was an easy favor, so I asked you to join me! I didn't expect you to be so cooperative. You have improved a lot during this period."

Jin Chen was dumbfounded. He had clearly refused at that time, so why was he still asked to cooperate fully?

But Jin Chen was smart enough not to ask. He could have just asked Wu Zheng and the others about something like this. Why did he have to ask Lin Yu?

I may not give you an answer even if I ask, and even if I do, I won't know if it's true or not. Why bother asking Lin Yu?

"I understand. Goodbye."

Seeing Jin Chen's expression, Lin Yu smiled.

"Although Jin Chen has made some progress, he still has a long way to go. Ultimately, it's because he has little experience. He has endured so much hardship and adversity, but he has had such a smooth journey. How enviable!"

If possible, who would be willing to experience adversity and suffer?

Unfortunately, they don’t have Jin Chen’s good fortune!

Jin Chen was the legitimate son but not the heir, so his family spoiled him and let him be a playboy who indulged in pleasure. Later, he became a mercenary of Tiandao. The heir died, and his family needed to rely on him, so they still coaxed and spoiled him. Fang Yuan and the others did the same, always treating him as a younger brother and never asking anything of him. If there was anything, they would definitely help him and spoil him.

Alas, I have been spoiled all this time. It is good enough that I am what I am now and have not grown crooked.

Two Tiandao mercenaries from the Sun Principality sent a message through the system communication. After reading it, Lin Yu considered it for a while before replying the message, remotely controlling the development of the situation behind the scenes.

…

The subsequent developments were very smooth, completely in accordance with Lin Yu's plan.

After Duke Sun and the military advisor understood the strategic significance of the Corpse-Eating Demon Tree, they were eager to obtain it. Jin Chen took advantage of the situation and gained a lot of benefits by just sharing the information he had obtained.

After knowing that the Corpse-Eating Demonic Tree was a reward for the system mission, they had to rely on their two Tiandao mercenaries to encourage and support them in completing the mission.
