"Is your master greedy?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Dong showed no surprise whatsoever; in fact, he displayed an expression of utter nonchalance.
"I understand."
"It's best for someone in the shadows to have some attachments; the stronger their obsession, the greater their power."
This time, it was Ye Bai's turn to be puzzled.
However, he remained calm and casually asked,
"Oh? What's the explanation?"
"It's nothing secret, just some casual conversation."
Feng Dong waved his hand and explained,
"It was my nephew who told me."
"Brother Bai, you roughly know the origins of the many powerful figures within the shadows, right?"
Ye Bai nodded. "Understood."
Feng Dong yawned.
"Speaking of which, several of my classmates are in the shadows. We usually get together for meals."
These guys ordered the most food, but didn't pay a single penny!
Feng Dong hadn't even graduated from university yet when his classmates were already in the shadows.
In other words, they died young for some reason during their growth.
In the past, Ye Bai's associates were all top-tier experts.
The weakest, however, is Zhao Ziyan, the self-destructive young man, who is undoubtedly a top-tier war god.
Moreover, the reason why Zhao Ziyan's ranking is low now is mainly due to her age.
She's not even 30 yet, and she hasn't been in the Shadow for many years.
Before the appearance of the strongest seed, Zhao Ziyan firmly held the position of Shadow Seven, and the speed at which her strength improved was nothing short of miraculous!
[Shadow] Over the past few decades, Zhao Ziyan has broken various ranking records.
Not long ago, she also broke the record for the largest single-day drop!
In other words, Ye Bai has always viewed this organization from the top of the "Shadow".
He had never come into contact with any weaker Shadows, nor did he understand their current situation.
This was the first time Ye Bai had heard of the things Feng Dong was talking about.
In the past, Ye Bai would have just treated it as trivia and learned about it.
Things are different now.
Ye Bai now holds the [Shadow Mark] and is nominally the wielder of the [Shadow]. When the various Shadow bigwigs meet, regardless of what they really think, they still have to call him Fourth Master on the surface.
Ye Bai has to live up to the title of "Fourth Master".
Most importantly, Ninth Master left the [Shadow Source] to Ye Bai.
The [Shadow Pattern] is just a symbol; it doesn't really matter who holds it.
The "video source" is a form of entrustment.
Ninth Master believes that Ye Bai can go further on the path of the [Shadow System].
Seeing that Ye Bai was interested, Feng Dong said a few more words.
"Life in the shadows is very boring. There's no food, no sleep, and you can't even climb towers."
When not on missions, he lives in Shadow Keep.
That sounds terrible...
Fearing Ye Bai might misunderstand, Feng Dongsheng added,
"Most people are grateful to have their lives saved, even if life is a bit dull."
However, if this kind of life continues for too long, a person's mental state is prone to problems.
Upon hearing this, Ye Bai's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Therefore, it's a good thing that the shadow has obsessions."
Feng Dong and Ye Bai walked out of the dormitory, chatting as they went.
Having a strong conviction is like having an anchor on a ship; only when the wind and waves come can the ship stay stable.
Otherwise, it can easily get out of control.
However, before it gets out of control, it will be controlled by a powerful figure within the shadows and forcibly put into a state of slumber.
As for further information, Feng Dong himself was unaware of it.
Or rather, even if he knew, he couldn't say it.
In short.
Feng Dong concluded,
"Brother Bai, your master's so-called 'love of money' may not necessarily come from the heart."
More likely, they will reinforce their own anchor points in order to avoid losing control.
Generally speaking, the greater the strength, the stronger the anchor point needed, and the more distorted it will become in certain aspects.
Ye Bai seemed to be deep in thought.
"According to your logic, the more greedy my master is, the stronger he is?"
Feng Dong nodded, "Yes!"
Ye Bai pretended to consider it for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, I think he's just greedy."
Feng Dong: ......
"I will help you arrange to meet my master in the Trading Realm."
Ye Bai hadn't forgotten about Feng Dong, and gave the instructions.
"Invite Fate along too, and also bring along Senior Sister Zuo."
Feng Dong's eyes lit up. "What? Three people go together, one person eats for free?!"
"No."
Ye Bai shook his head.
"If the three of you work together, my master will earn more."
Feng Dong: ......
He suddenly realized that Brother Bai had gone too far.
Brother Bai's master might be even more outrageous than Brother Bai himself!
Is there a possibility that...
Is the reason why Brother Bai is so outrageous because he was led astray by his master?
After the two had breakfast, Feng Dong went to find Fate and Zuo Lingxie, while Ye Bai went to the restroom.
Ye Bai addressed the toilet respectfully.
"Third Master."
Shadow Three slowly emerged from the shadows.
Ying San spoke up, "You want me to kill Feng Dong?"
Ye Bai: ? ? ?
"Third Master, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"
Ye Bai quickly explained,
"Dongzi is a good person, and we can get along well."
I have something else to discuss with you.
Hearing this, Shadow Three shook his head.
"I only kill people or demons."
No, Third Master, never underestimate yourself!
Ye Bai said respectfully,
"Third Master, please invite Fourth Brother over. I have something I want to ask him."
"middle."
Shadow Three disappeared into the shadows, and after a few seconds, he emerged again and threw Shadow Four over like a chicken.
Ye Bai: ......
