"Oh, so you mean..." Wen Long raised his eyes, the coldness in them growing even stronger.
"I dare not speak presumptuously, but only wish to relieve King Ling's worries." Boss Tong lowered his round head even further.
"Well, to be honest, I've been a bit confused lately. I feel that although Firebird does things perfectly, something always feels off afterward. His plans always seem flawless. What's even more puzzling is that he never makes any demands after he finishes his work. It's really hard to trust someone who isn't greedy."
“The King of Spirits is right. The less greedy a person is, the more suspicious they become. We should investigate them thoroughly.”
"I'll leave this matter to you. Try to be as discreet as possible. If he has any problems, that would be terrible." King Ling sighed as he said this. "Hopefully, we're just overthinking it."
"Ding..." Just then, a faint sound came from outside.
The Spirit King's eyes sharpened, then he suddenly narrowed them, "Someone has come looking for you."
"What?" Before Boss Tong could figure out what had happened, the fog in front of him dissipated, and Wen Long's face quickly disappeared...
"Boss Tong, Bai Rui requests an audience." Sure enough, a loud shout came from outside the pagoda.
"Oh? What a distinguished guest!" Only then did the owner realize what Lin Wang meant, so he replied loudly, "It's not that I don't welcome guests, it's just that there are no doors or windows here..."
"Wait here, I'm coming in now." He looked up at the pagoda in front of him, which was about seven stories high. He walked around the base of the pagoda and saw only thick stone walls, but no main entrance.
With a "whoosh!", the seemingly clumsy body, like a wildcat, swiftly climbed up to the rooftop 20 meters away, then with a "clang!", it lifted a few tiles, revealing a small hole...
With a "thud," Bai Rui leaped from the rooftop to the ground. Once he was on his feet, he brushed off his clothes, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Bai Rui, greetings to Boss Tong."
"You've arrived," Boss Tong, who had been facing away from him, turned around, nodded and smiled, a hint of cunning in his eyes, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand. "So Old Bai is the originator of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops, my apologies for my lack of respect!"
"Don't make fun of me, Boss Tong. I know you're a man of few words, and you have some real skills," Bai Rui said, shifting his position and turning to the right. He quickly circled around Boss Tong and returned to his original spot.
With a slight smirk, revealing two yellow teeth on the right side of his mouth, he suddenly flicked his finger, and a gleaming gold watch appeared at his fingertip.
"You, you actually..." Mr. Tong quickly raised his hand to look at his wrist. He was a little embarrassed. His face turned red and white in turns before returning to normal after a while.
"Excuse me," Bai Rui's eyes flashed with a green light, and he bowed deeply, respectfully handing his watch to Boss Tong. "Please introduce me, sir. I have a very precious gift to present to the Spirit King."
"It seems that Lao Bai came prepared." Taking the watch, putting it on his wrist, and glancing sideways, Boss Tong put his hands behind his back, took a step forward in front of Bai Rui, and wanted to say a few more words.
"I heard that a distinguished guest has arrived..." A voice suddenly appeared, and a black mist rose from the stone wall where the image had just appeared. As the black mist spread, an image wearing a hood appeared.
"Welcome, Spirit King!" Upon seeing him, Boss Tong quickly raised his hands above his head and knelt down on one knee. "You... is the guest you're talking about him?"
