"So it was you..."
Looking at Fu Tianming, who was sitting upright in front of her, holding a glass in his right hand and dressed in clothes that suggested wealth and status, Ling smiled.
Sure enough, he was the city lord of Danning City.
Seeing that Zero didn't react much, Fu Tianming knew that Zero already knew his true identity. He smiled at Zero in a friendly manner and asked:
When was it discovered?
They discovered he was the lord of Daning City...
Upon hearing this, Zero smiled slightly, reached out and took out the mission jade token, which clearly displayed a progress of "99%".
"Through this discovery."
Upon seeing Ling issue the jade token, Fu Tianming laughed heartily.
"I see, I should have been more discreet..."
Zero is neither affirmative nor negative.
"By the way, Lord City Lord, why would you..."
Ling didn't say anything more, but Fu Tianming naturally knew what he was wondering.
"You want to ask me why the dignified Lord of Danning City would disguise himself as a merchant? Or, why, despite my noble status, no one knows my whereabouts, and not even a single portrait of me has ever been seen?"
Ling nodded, showing no surprise that Fu Tianming knew he wanted to use the portrait to find his whereabouts.
Since the other party was able to appear here, they must be fully aware of my series of actions.
only……
Why is he coming to find me now?
Zero clearly remembers that he was still one percent away from completing the task.
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate to ask:
What do you want me to do?
Zero would never believe that Fu Tianming's sudden appearance here was merely to meet him.
He must have something to tell himself or something to demand of himself to come here.
As expected, Fu Tianming laughed heartily, his gaze towards Zero filled with admiration.
Immediately, his smile vanished, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to want to speak but hesitated to say something.
"Lord, please speak frankly if you have something to say. Perhaps Zero can lend a hand."
If Ling still doesn't realize that Fu Tianming needs his help, then he's incredibly oblivious.
Thinking of this, Zero simply asked the question aloud.
Upon hearing Zero's words, Fu Tianming's tense expression relaxed slightly. He then looked at Zero and said seriously:
"Brother Zero, to be honest, I do have something I need your help with."
He said "please," instead of using the pressure of the task to force Zero to help him.
Based on this alone, Zero felt that the Lord of Danning City was very good at dealing with people, or at least very good at winning people's hearts.
"Lord of the City, please speak..."
Zero noon, feeling disappointed.
Fu Tianming nodded, then slowly said:
"It's true that I told you before that entering the Seven Gods Sect requires completing a mission... but recently something seems to have happened within the sect..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zero, seemingly observing Zero's reaction.
Ke Ling's indifferent attitude left Fu Tianming somewhat confused.
Why is he so unmoved... Could it be that what that person said was false?
Is there anyone in this sect whose life is at stake?
Fu Tianming composed himself. Seeing that Ling seemed to be saying, "I'm listening, please continue," he didn't want to ask directly, so he continued:
“Logically, this matter has nothing to do with our twelve cities. We are twelve cities belonging to the Seven Gods Sect and cannot interfere in the affairs of the sect. But it is said that… someone escaped from the sect!”
“Normally, even if someone had escaped, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. But that person’s identity is extraordinary. It’s said that he’s someone the sect leader particularly favors, and he might even inherit the position of sect leader of the Seven Gods Sect in the future! His escape not only took away a very important sacred artifact from the sect, but also injured many of the sect’s law enforcement elders. This matter has blown up a lot…”
Looking at Ling's still calm expression, Fu Tianming felt like he had hit a brick wall.
Could it be... that Zero really isn't the person they're looking for?
Or could it be that they just made a mistake?
That shouldn't be the case...
Humans can make mistakes, but instruments don't...
